Almay foundation & Nichido Single eyeshadow review

I asked my mom to buy me some make up, any kind she might bump into when she go to some mall. After i think 2 days, she gave me an Almay nearly naked make up she bought from an officemate that just came back from the states. She bought it for around Php 400.00 ($9). I searched for online prices (just for curiosity) and it costs from $10 to $19 (at amazon). I dont really know the make up brand, Almay + its products. lol click THIS for info.

Front look

it's back, i still haven't removed the back sticker for the ingredients. too lazy, i guess. lol

The container's shape is rectangular and very edgy which makes it easy to open.

swatch (without flash)

I applied it on the right part of my hand (pictured above, without flash), it made my skin glossy in a darker way. eek. Must finish this up or else my mom would be in rage if it would be put to waste. lol

Soft Black, Carribean Blue and Cool Silver

Just bought 3 single eyeshadows from Nichido at SM last week. I bought 3 pieces cos its very cheap. One single eyeshadow costs Php 68.00 ($1.5), ain't that cheap?! But, Uh Oh...dont even expect much on the quality department. It is very powdery that you need to apply the shadow three times. The packaging is simple + chic and its as big as a 5 peso coin.

Nichido Cool Silver eyeshadow (applied 3 times)

made a smokey eye make up using the 3 shadows.

Closer look. Please dont mind my very untidy eyebrow. hehe

That's all...ciao! :]

voila! it's red!

one of my favorite singer is Karen O (the yeah yeah yeahs). Other than her beautiful high-pitched voice, i'm amazed on how she can pull off any look or outfit with just only her trademark red lips and full bangs. That's why i made a look / make up inspired by her. teehee!

I focused on the lips. I made it as bright, glossy red as possible though she always wear matte red. lol

Products used:

eyes: brown eyeliner (eyebrow) + false lashes

lips: Carlo Di Roma perfect lip liner + Ever Bilena red lipstick + HerBench nude pink lipgloss

ever bilena red lipstick

carlo di roma red lip liner (as base)

then i applied the EB red lipstick + a hint of HerBench lipgloss on my lower lip.

I colored my eyebrow brown and put on fake lashes to brighten up my eye (i didn't use any eyeliner to give more focus on the red lips.)

and voila! finished!

hope you like it, if you do...thank you!

Marionnaud concealer brush review

Bought this a few months ago at Watsons. I think it costs around Php 70.00 ($1.6). This is actually my first concealer brush, so busy (+ excited) with my new make up brush set i only had to blog it now. lol

Advantages: soft, smooth hair, no shedding, can be used as an eyeshadow brush too + its cheap but doesn't look like one, classy smooth design. What i don't like about it is, it lacks length on the handle.

brush size length - almost same as a teaspoon

till next time! ciao :]

Halloween look ~ Make up Geek Club

The Make up Geek Club is celebrating the Halloween! whoppee! so here's my contribution. It's a toy soldier/nutcracker look from here, Jen's her name and after i saw that tutorial/video...i fell in love with her!haha She's really pretty and very creative. If you want to try the look for Halloween or want to check out her blog for other looks, click this. <3

sorry for the low quality picture/s. Only using my webcam cos my digicam is broken.

I super thank Alain for letting me use her laptop and matte eyeshadows, cos i dont have any :( , And Kath for the lighting. When i'm doing this look they were busy putting some facial mask on. Thanks again for Alain for buying me one of those facial mask! :]

After removing the lower part of my make up (lips, lines, blush) i noticed i can still use my eye make up for a photo trip! haha

FACE!LOL

Removing make up is the most hardest part. Got a teary eye after removing my fake lashes.

FUN! Halloween is fun! hehe

my new icons for rock.

I'm a fan of rock music. Maybe because when i was a baby, my uncles love to turn on the player and put on rock songs from grunge to punk when i'm not sleeping and even when i'm sleeping (that's what they said). When i dress up i usually like to wear anything depending on my mood and to what hypes me. My everyday look can never be complete without my studded belt. That's my confidence-booster accessory lol.

Nana Oosaki - from the NANA movie, is full of awesomeness. lol. I like her style especially those studded stuffs around her (choker, belt, bracelet, etc.). Things that me and Nana have in common: She loves rock music and i also do. She loves studded stuffs and i also do. And lastly we're both thin. LOL

she's in a band named black stones (BLAST for short).

I used to watched Gossip Girl cos of Blake Lively and John patrick Amedori. Now i dont. I first saw Taylor Momsen at GG and Oh my, she's really cute. I'm a fan of her style and her love for music. She sings for the band: the pretty reckless and her voice is amazing. She loves to wear heavy black eyeliner and she also loves to wear super high-heel shoes even when she's at a gig which is amazing cos walking + jumping + singing + head-banging is kinda hard.

she's only 17!

that's all folks! ciao! :]

glam-up-night

It was a rainy gloomy day yesterday SO, i txt-ed alain what she's up to and she replied she's not busy. We went to kath's (bestfriend) house then alain wanted to go to that pizza house just outside our subdivision. We ordered a family size all meat + extra pineapple topping (joy & i like pineapple in our pizza). YUM!

Kath wanted to glam-up (make-up experiment) so we went to alain's house and voila! fun fun fun!

toys!

i did a smokey eye make up + nude pink lipstick on kath.

and of course i need to prettify too. lol

with alain (natural eye make-up + nude pink lipstick)

FUN FUN FUN! I love my friends!

New Park on my map.

Me and my bestfriend, alain (+ her BF +2 more close guy friends) went to this park called eco-park blah blah. LOL The park's kinda small but it has tables with lights which looks like glowing mushrooms at night. And OH! it has animals!alive ones!It houses a snake, cute turtles, a monkey(a hungry one) and a cute tiger (also a hungry one, maybe bcos the keeper's busy, He forgot to feed them LOL)

We rode a jeep on our way there. Here's the proof:

Me, Bestfriend + some random guy was riding at the back of the jeep so we took advantage of the situation, time for a photo trip! haha! I super thank my Bestfriend for this clear shot cos the jeep's running fast, like the driver's in a hurry he's gonna pee on his pants anytime soon. LOL

My bestfriend took this photo which she did, obviously, which i asked her to for the sake of my noob status in Lookbook. LOL

This was bought by my boyfriend when he went to the states with his family for a vacation. HEE HEE. LOL

Hope some of you liked the look, well if you do...Thank you! *hugs* lol
