Weekend Look

Not a sleeping beauty

My husband took this when I was waiting for him to check on his project site.

Party Look to the Reunion

I have a 20 year reunion to go to in New Jersey that I couldn't go to. So instead, I cooked up some idea of what I'd like to look like. Mind you, it's around 8:30 pm, I just got back from work, was about to wash up before bed. Why not? That yellow dress wasn't a dress at all, just this shawl I tossed on my shoulder. The bottom? None! I' m at the bathroom, anyway. It was fun, though, playing dressed up. I had to dig several boxes to find me some earrings.

Wait! There's no earrings on the 1st picture.

Pretty festive, ain't it?

FOTD - 11 November 2008

Aghhh...I need to be on a diet! I have a 20-year reunion with my AFS pals coming up on November 28, and I need (must must) look a tad slimmer than I am now.

But alas. My day started out with a slice of bread thickly layered with peanut butter and hazelnut jam, a cup of cappuccino and two sunny-side eggs for brunch. I didn't plan on having lunch, but I have a box of Cheddar Shapes on my desk which at the time of writing was a quarter full. A guest came in with a huge glass of Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino and prior to that glass of goodness knocked on the door, I was having a fried instant noodle topped with an egg. And after a peek of what my in-law was eating, I decided that I wanted to have a bowl of pempek from the street vendor in front of the office.

I'm stuffed and I have 15 days to redeem myself.

But that aside, here's my face. I'm trying to use my pigment again so it's the golden olive time to get some lovin' this morning. I used loads of MAC Light Flush on cheeks but to my surprise it didn't show much on the picture.

FOTD - November 10, 2008

Arggghhhh...why is my morning always hectic? My brain is probably brainwashed by images of moms reading papers and having hot steaming coffee on the dining table.

Instead, my morning started with me waking up the boys, Aca was as usual the last time to get up, then banged the window to get the breadman's attention, dived into the purse for bread money, then went downstairs to start banging the pots (eh eh...I always loved that phrase : banging the pots), cooking up fried noodle (with angel hair pasta, minced beef and soy sauce), laying out the uniforms for the kids, had a quick second to slurp my hot coffee, distributing the breads for snack at school, then compiling school papers for Hanif to study in the evening, rushing all the boys to brush their teeth, screaming at their father because he took 1 hour to get ready, oooohhh I just had headache typing this all up. I had some extra minutes to put my feet up before rushing Baby to the bathroom and getting her ready for school, then brushing her hair, making sure she had everything for school, then getting myself ready.

So here it is, I tried using my long-neglected pigments; pinked mauve and lily white on lids, and then contrast eye shadow for more definition. I then brushed Orgasm and PAC brown blush and tried applied Avarice lipglass, Oriflame lipgloss (blah), and Oh So Scarlet lipstick.

FOTD - October 28, 2008

I must say it's hard to post regularly every day. I don't know how other bloggers do it.

Here's my look today. I've been using mineral make up from Everyday Minerals in the past week. It seems that the foundation (I used a combination of Golden Medium, Buttered Tan and Medium Tan) works quite well with my prescribed sunscreen lotion. Neat. Now I just need to stock up.

I tried a mixed of MAC melon pigment, MAC love connection e/s (the solid one) and Revlon Espresso on my eyes but I wasn't too happy with the result.

On lips I used MAC "O" and Dior gloss. Look pretty good!

Cheeks : Fashion Frenzy and EM Waffle Cone.

FOTD - October 11, 2008

A quick post on my look when I went to the wedding last Saturday.

Pink and green

My closet's a total mess. Kasih has a fever when I have already played hooky at work planning to take my kids to the beach or to somewhere else fun before they start school again next Monday. It's almost noon and i just finished getting ready. It looks like all the plans will be off, too as my girl wants me to take a nap with her.

Lips : MAC Vivacious l/s & Too Fab l/g (dress camp collection)
Cheeks : MAC Nuance

FOTD Oct. 7

This is the look inspired by one of the Cult of Cherry looks. I used my La Tulipe palette, MAC love connection, Revlon pinking of you blush, MAC bronzer, Russian red lipstick and Cult of Cherry lipglass.

EID FOTD - Oct 1

This was taken during the Eid sermon. I did a natural look using my Dior mini quint over MAC Layin' Low paint pot. 

Kasih was wearing her new pink praying outfit. She has become quite camera-shy lately, hence the pouty face.

FOTD Oct 6

I've been using fresco rose paint pot for several days now and I'm happy to report that this is a purchase I would never regret.

Cult of Cherry Lips

I purchased 2 lipsticks and 1 lipglass from Cult of Cherry collection. The dark lips so reminded me of the look back in the 80s when most of the girls here were sporting matte dark lips. I applied Kirsch and topped it off with Cult of Cherry lipglass and window shopped in Senayan City Mall and I swore that when I passed restaurants or coffee shops I could see some people looking at me (or my lips). It is such an unusual color for this year and out of 50 women (very stylish ones, if you may), absolutely none would wear dark-colored lipsticks.

Here are some of the pictures taken using Kirsch and Cult of Cherry combination.
