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

LIPS

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! :)

My Everyday Look

Okay, you probably have noticed that I'm not posting FOTD/EOTD for a long time already..this is because my look everyday is the same..I'm not allowed to wear bright colored makeup and also I have no urge to wear colorful eyeshadows..sad but true..my look is so boring lately..I'll probably try doing something fun this weekend..hmmm :)

So here's my everyday look whenever I go to work :)

FACE:
- Ellana Sheer Velvet Primer in White Chocolate
- Meow Frisky Abyssinian in Pampered Puss Formulation
- Joppa Finishing Powder in Rosey
- Ellana blush in Patience
- Dayna's Minerals Glow in Violet Vesper

LIPS:
- Venus & Mars Lip Detox
- Bare Naturals Lip tint in Bellafina

EYES:
- Mary Kay Signature Concealer in Ivory
- Ellana Concealer in Awake
- MAC e/s in Unorthodox
- MAC e/s in Relaxing
- Clarins Eyeliner pencil in Parme-Soft Plum
- The Face Shop Eyeliner Pencil in White


If I'm in the mood or I have a lot of time, I use Ellana MPM in Ethereal appliet wet to line my upper lash line..but since I'm bored with my look, I just used a colored liner instead :)


FYI, I didn't use any base for my MAC shadows and they still lasted me 12 hours! Even the Clarins eyeliner pencil stayed put..although they are not thta vibrant anymore, you can still see the colors at the end of the day..cool right? :)


Here's a shot of me wearing my white uniform..I really missed wearing white! I love being a nurse...the only thing I don't like about it is the ease of finding work in a hospital and of course the local compensation..but anyways, still love my profession..Ciao! :)

Natural FOTD

This morning when I woke up, I feel like doing a very simple and natural look..so after I took a bath and applied all my skin care, I started my makeup with my yellow cream undereye concealer (I forgot the brand..Jamie, what's it again? hehe)...I blend blend blend since any product I put on my undereye area crease so I really need to blend it well and it can't be too thick..then I did my neutral eye makeup using my mom's Christian Dior palette..then on the fun and difficult part of the whole look...covering those blemishes..

I tried Ellana green corrector concealer on the blemishes..they said this color will neutralize the redness so that it would be easier to cover with foundation..I can say it did lessen the appearance of the scars but sad to say, the blemishes are still very much visible even after a layer of foundation..anyways, I'll set that flaw aside since I'm not really good at concealing anything hehe :)

I used the following products:

EYES
- yellow cream concealer topped w/

- Meow undereye concealer in Frisky Chartreux
- MAC PaintPot in Painterly

- MAC e/s in Relaxing

- Christian Dior Palette (beige, dark brown and bronze e/s)

- Clinique Mascara

FACE

- Milan Oil at Bay (as primer)

- Ellana concealer in Innocence (green corrector)

- Lauress Minimalist foundie in Pure Yellow (2 layers)

- Milan Perfect Presentation (as finishing powder)

- Bare Naturals Viva Sofia blush

LIPS

- the Body Shop lip and cheek tint

- Petroleum jelly

- Avon glazewear l/s in Milk Chocolate

Here's my FOTD when we went out to go to church this morning..pardon the hair (again!)..I'm not really good in arranging my hair..I just put it in a ponytail most of the time haha :D

Does anyone of you experience difference in oil control with Milan OAB and PP primers/finishing powder when used with different brands of foundation? Coz whenever I uses these 2 with Meow and Dayna's, the oil control will last for at least 5 hours before I feel greasy..but if I uses them with Lauress I will feel greasy before 5 hours..weird :/
