Colorful EOTDs by CS 88 Original Palette

As I had promised, here are some colorful looks I did using my Coastal Scents 88 original eyeshadow palette. I used Mary Kay Signature concealer in Ivory topped with Ellana Awake concealer, MAC Paintpot in Painterly and I used Aromaleigh Eyeliner sealant to wet my liner colors.


First look is "BLUE" because I am wearing a very bright blue top that day and I was inspired by that :)

"a" - as highlight in the browbone and inner corner
"b" - inner half lid
"c" - Outer half lid and crease
"d" - in the lower lashline
"e" - used to blend the crease area



In the end, I topped the liner (Taylormade e/s in Marsh) with Artdeco eyeshadow in #21 (bronze color) because my dad is looking at me as if I'm crazy..I know the look is SO bright so he was shocked that I'm wearing it to go out LOL :)

Here's my FOTD..Since my eye makeup is so bright already, I opted to go nude on the face.

FACE
- Lauress Kick Start Primer in Medium
- DreamWorld foundation mix (Freyja, Nimue, Amenti in Luna + Chang-O in Cloud)
- Ellana Sheer Velvet Powder in White Chocolate
- Ellana Blush in Patience
- Ellana Silk Powder in Raspberry Cappucino

LIPS
- Venus&Mars Lip detox
- Bare Naturals Liptint in Bellafina

Dreamworld foundations are really smooth and long lasting..this is one of my favorite MMU brands..it's very long lasting too! the only sad thing about this brand is the difficulty in finding your shade match in their foundation..This is the reason why I just mix all the samples I got so that I can tstill use them hehe so far so good..Someone from Girltalk suggested I try Theia + Amenti in Luna or straight Theia in Clouds..we are shade twins in other brands so I'll probably give this a try :)
Here's my second look..this time I'm wearing a greenish top so I thought to wear green eyeshadowws..but then I just decided to do a "summer" look so this is what I came up with :)

"a" - as highlighter in browbone and inner canthus
"b" - outer half of the lid and crease
"c" - inner half of the lid and inner corners
"d" - lower lashline
"e" - used to blend the crease

I used my mom's Estee Lauder Projectionist HD Volume Mascara in 01 Black. It didn't weigh down my lashes and it does gave me a little volume..it didn't smudged on me too even though it is very hot yesterday. But as with other mascaras, I had a hard time removing it with my Mandom Clansing Sebum..I also used Ellana MPM in Ethereal as a liner (applied dry).

For my face, I decided to have some color too..So I opted to have rosy cheeks and lips to match my fun eyes :)

FACE

- Foundation Mix (Lauress + Lumiere + J. lynne + Aubrey Nicole)

- Ellana Sheer Velvet Powder in White Chocolate

- Meow blush in Cat Got Your Tongue

- Dayna's Minerals GLows in Violet Vesper

LIPS

- Venus&Mars Lip detox

- Bare Naturals Liptint in Bellafina

- Miners Lipgloss

with flash

Even though my foundation is a mixture of my "least used foundations" (colors are off if used alone), the combination of the four brands resulted in a very nice foundation for me..as you can notice, I look so naturally flawless with this because it is not flat matte..It is very light on the face too..but after I used this pot up, I won't be able to buy this again coz that will mean I need to buy from all four brands LOL..I really don't know which brand caused the dewy look :)

So there you go, I hope you enjoyed my colorful looks because I really enjoyed making them..I can't go bolder coz I do wear them out during the day and I don't want people to look at me strangely hehe..next time I'll "copy" a look from sis Aileen's blog coz she did some pretty cool looks using the CS palette..till next time! Ciao! :)

Sun Up to Sunrise makeup

I really can't think of a more fitting title than this one..coz this post is all about my incredible experience with my FOTD/EOTD last September 13. .My makeup lasted me for more than 22 hours!! I only did a couple of retouching in between with blotting paper and loose powder.. It's amazing right?! So good..and I loved every minute of it coz I got compliments during the night from my aunts and that's after 12 hours from my application time already :)

By the way, I have enough courage now to post my picture with my new do..I'm still not liking it but I'm used to it already coz I can't do anything about it anyway...I'm hoping my hair will grow fast this time so that I can have a new hairstyle by Christmas.. I'll definitely sport a longer do from now on..but what do you guys think? does it look okay on me?

Here's my FOTD taken around 8am (Sept. 13)..still looking fresh...I've used my Dreamworld foundation mix (nimue + freyja + amenti in Luna formulation) for concealing my blemishes and as a first layer too..this really works in concealing coz it can really fool many that I have clear skin haha..very photogenic too!..my aunts even thought I have no more breakouts! good coverage...I then applied a layer or two of either Dayna's Minerals foundation in G2 or Lauress Minimalist in Pure Yellow to add some yellow tone on my face since my DW mix is kind of pale..I've also used Milan Oil at Bay as primer to control my oilies :)

FOTD:
- Milan Oil at Bay as primer
- Dreamworld foundation mix (applied dry with concealer brush)
- Dayna's G2 or Lauress Pure Yellow
- Milan Perfect Presentation
- Meow Blush in Cat Got Your Tongue?
- Meow Firefly blush in Glisten


LIPS:
- Petroleum Jelly
- The Body Shop Lip and Cheek Tint
- Lancome 214 Lipstick

Here's my EOTD...I road tested my Aromaleigh Indelible Eyeliner Sealant that I got from sis Nikki of Not Just Minerals (thanx sis!)..I love this product coz it really delivers..Imagine, my eyemakeup lasted from 7am upto 4:30am without even smudging or fading?! And I have pretty oily lids even with a base..I'm so raving about this product..this is the best mixing medium that I have tried!
EYES:

• Yellow cream concealer topped with
• Meow Undereye concealer in Frisky Chartreux
• MAC Painterly Paintpot all over lid
• MAC Unorthodox E/s
• Pure Luxe e/s in Darling
• Bonnie MPM shimmer
• Christian Dior dark brown e/s
• Artdeco #20 e/s
• Clinique Waterproof mascara

By the way, I applied my loose mineral pigments foiled using sponge tip applicators..I've learned this technique from Vanessa of Nessassary makeup (thanx Nessa!)..she posted in her blog that she prefer using sponge tip applicators for loose pigments coz it's easy and mess free compared to applying it with a brush..and so I decided to try it since my EDM e/s brush doesn't work very well..and I agree, it did worked pretty well..I easily get good color payoffs from the shadows :)

This is my FOTN taken around 6pm...I just retouched with Milan Oil at Bay around 5pm and some oil blotting sheets during the day..I also added some Artdeco #20 e/s on the crease and outer V to smokify my peepers for the night...I then retouched again at around 11pm before we go out again to the bar..and this makeup is still looking good around 4:30am (Sept. 14) when I got home :)
I really love Mineral Makeup because you look better as the hours go by..and it looks natural so you can really enhance your features instead of hiding your face..and it doesn't feel heavy..I applied around 4 layers of foundation for this look but it did not cake nor feel like a mask the whole time..what more can I ask for? I'm raving haha :D

What about you guys? Do you have any tested MMU products that has very good staying power? I would like to hear them ..till next time! God bless :)

Dreamworld + Dayna's FOTD

Me and my bf went to our school this morning to request for a re-copy of our TOR and Summary of RLE which we will be needing for applying jobs in the near future..but sadly, we're not able to request for it because the line in the cashier was too long..we didn't know it's exam week so tuition payment week..so we decided to just come back :)

before going home, we ate lunch at A Venetto Pizzeria at Trinoma..we had Putanesca and hawaiian pizza w/ extra cheese..yummy yummy! this is our fave Italian resto coz the foods are great and affordable :)

here's my FOTD today..I used my Dreamworld foundation in Luna formula (this is a mix of Freyja and Nimue coz they both don't match me haha that's why I mixed them) ..I really love DW's foundation coz they give a very nice coverage and it has good staying power..but since I have the wrong shades, I can't use them frequently..I'm still in the process of deciding which shades will be perfect to mix with these two shades to make it my match..any suggestions? I would really appreciate it..I need something yellow coz this two really don't have any :D

FACE:
-Dreamworld foundation in Luna formulation (freyja + nimue)
- Dayna's Minerals foundation in G2 - one layer to add some yellow
- Milan Oil at Bay
- Ellana blush in Coral Pink
- Clinique bronzer on top

And here's a shot taken after 7 hours without any retouch or blotting paper ..cool right? I still look fresh even though my makeup is already fading :)

here's a picture of us when he brought me home earlier..we look weird haha :)

thanx for dropping by guys! :)
