REVIEW: Elf 100 eyeshadow palette

Image
I have a small train case (relative to what I saw in the internet) so that means I have this difficulty fitting everything in. And I don't feel like bringing additional bag because the train case is already heavy. It is quite necessary to own a variety of eye shadows - in shimmers and mattes. Today, I just wanted to share with you a palette I always use in my gigs - Th ELF 100 piece  eyeshadow palette. The palette was on 25% on sale when i bought it. It was sold for P899 but I got it for P674.81 . That was a year ago.  Along with some stuff I bought   Product Description This convenient makeup collection for your eyes allow you to be your own makeup artist whenever, wherever. A great value for any makeup lover!! An all-in-one compact including the must have eyeshadow shades. Create any look that reflects your personal style The small sleek design is great for on-the-go beauty touchups Mirror and eyeshadow applicator included Directio...

Feb 2013 Makeover! Fun Shoot :)

Image
I mentioned from my previous post that I did a makeover on my co-writers. Photoshoot is something we do for fun. Anyway, I don't have a BEFORE photo because I don't have enough time to take one. I had 4 girls in line excluding me and had a scheduled reservation at the photography room to follow. To start, I copied some recent photo of my co writers.  and one of my favorite people, arli. :) I didn't copied any recent photo of hers since she just had a few touch ups. She requested her makeup to be simple. My officemates and at the same time my friends. <3  For Vielalala (one at the center), I still have to copy her photos. :)  -End-  Thanks you for reading :">

Photoshoot: Classic and Fun Shoot

Image
It is somehow necessary to study the look you and your photographer want to achieve. Personally, I always ask who my models are and what they look so I would know if our theme fits her face. A well-planned photo shoot will give a great output. I like it more when I'm on spotlight because I could try a look I haven't done before. A nyway, our shoot last Saturday was a rush and for the photos. Note: I post-processed my photos. :) Something I do to master Photoshop and Lightroom I know I look very much like a vampire but I like it. :) I did a makeover on  some of my co staffers! Will post individual before-and-after photos as soon as I finished my lab report. :P  Rhona, Viela and Me!  -End-  Thank you for reading :">

Review: Fanny Serrano Concealer

Image
I had the Fanny Serrano (FS) concealer in cashew from my recent mini haul.  It is regularly sold for P350.  Good packaging. I like this type better than the one you squeeze out of tubes. The problem with this type of packaging is that it is unhygienic. BEFORE and AFTER. The concealer is a little cakey that explains the roughness on the first photo (referring to the first eye photo). I found this one cake-y. I love my Krave and L.A Girl HD concealers better than this one. Eventually, I end up applying my FS concealer over my lids, as primer, and around my eyebrows. Anyway, the concealer did its job improving my eye bags.The first photo is a little bit darker than the second. I know it's hard to tell because I have a weird eye circles. Their not puffy and dark but it surely is big with the lines extending downward.  I just got to know what to do in order to apply it smoothly over my eye circles. Will I repurchase? I love FS products sadly, not this one. ...

Coed Photoshoot: Feb 2013

Image
A photo shoot was held last wed for the coed page of our school publication. As this term's editor assistant, I would want everything done my way and neat. Anyway, our coed (featured person of the issue) is none other than Mapua Cardinals Night winner Jelik Chua. I did her makeup and hair. Anyway, all photos are raw. I'm not allowed to post processed/edited photos until the release of the issue. Model: Angelique Chua HMUA/Art Director: Jameila Bito-on Photographer: Jude Ricafort Me! :) I had another shoot yesterday. This time, I'm on the spotlight! :) Will post soon!

Review: Fanny Serrano Lash Extravagance Mascara

Image
My Extra Length and Volume Mascara from my mini haul. The first time I saw this one, it appeared to be very attractive. It has a great packaging and it seemed effective. Well, I bought this for P 399 ( around $ 6). Quite expensive for a local mascara right? Product Description: Sweep for a maximum length and volume - fast and easy with FS Lash Extravagance! Richly formulated to give you soft-textured, clump-free eyelashes. What I love about this  is that it is a little bent over.   Look how small the spike things are. I guess it's for a  volume effect. Well, they aren't effective. Note also that  the liquid is very thick that causes clumps. The eyelashes tend to merge - not volume-ish. To avoid clumping, one must effort on combing. BEFORE and AFTER . I agree with extra length but I really doubt it is extra volume.  It thickened my lashes but ,again, caused clumps. I have to comb repetitively my lashes so they spread out...

Mini Haul: Fanny Serrano

Image
I'm back with a Haul! And it all came from one brand, Fanny Serrano . First, their two-way cake foundation is a major hit in the Philippine makeup industry and second I would want to try some of their products.  Note: Bought these last Saturday during the Great Northern Sale. I was not able to buy so much since I have the tendency to be irritable around a large crowd. I mean seriously, It shocked me that day to see so many people. Well, I did not intended to shop during that sale day. It was just that the terminal going home is located at front of hypermarket and I wanted to make a stop over at the mall. Bought them at SM North Edsa Dept. store. I have two foundations in Organza and Duchess, a black gel liner, concealer, mascara. For freebies, I got two blushes.  Two-way cake foundation with mirror and foam  under.  This foundation would always be present in my train case. It is regularly sold for 399 but worth every penny. It's a lot for the product...

EOTD: Maldita

THURSDAY - the most awaited day next week! For those with special someone, I know it's VALENTINES (Some are excited, some are not).  Anyway, I'll be wearing a strong look that day - something fierce. Well I'm not celebrating it with anyone, just with couple of friends. I'm SINGLE and i'm happy I am. :) Final look :) 1.  Apply a shimmery light brown  eye shadow all over the lid. 3. Apply a black color through the crease. Using my black eyeliner, I drew a line and blended it softly to make the black color intense. Apply also on your lower lash line 4. Apply a  strong matte brown  color over the black one. Be very patient. 5. Apply a black eyeliner over your upper and lower lash line. 6. Coat with mascara! ( I don't do this. My eyes get irritated with mascara) This is almost the same with an EOTD I made last year. The differences are the color on the eyelid and the black eye shadow of the old one was applied at the o...

EOTD: Of rainbows

Hello there! :) I decided to create something colorful. I did eye makeups before wearable to special or non special occasions. Today, I just wanted to be more creative. Behold my very colorful eye look for the day (at the end this post). Enjoy ;) Always start with  a Primer 1.  Apply a matte blu e color eye shadow all over the lid. 3. Apply a lighter color of blue through the crease and BLEND softly. Apply also on your lower lash line 4. Apply a violet/purple color on your outer V. You may apply a tape to make it sharp and clean. 5. Apply a black eyeliner over your upper and lower lash line. 6. Coat with mascara! ( I don't do this. My eyes get irritated with mascara)  7.  To make the whole look a little softer, Apply a pink color eye shadow on top of the lighter blue. Blend nicely.  8. Apply a shimmery white eye shadow all over your brow bone. 9. Just for fun! You can draw anything using a liquid eyeliner ...
