Hair Curlers Anyone?

I really love photo filters because in just one click your haggard
photo turns to something as flawless as my photo above. LOL.

I bought these curlers at Divisoria last year for Php150. When I saw it on one of the sales lady I got amused on how it curls hair without heat. I didn't leave it on  for a long time so I only got big waves. I didn't apply any hair product to keep the curls so just make sure to use hairspray for it to last long because mine didn't even last for an hour. Hehe. :)

For a change...

Sometimes, we get tired doing and seeing the same things over and over again. Once in a while we have to do something different just to keep the spice in our so-called redundant life. XO

a girl can never have too much Pink Lippies

If there's one make up I cannot live without that will be a lippie. You read it right, I value them more than concealer and mascara. I have naturally pale lips so that explains why. If there's such a thing as a "happy food" then lipstick is my "happy make up".

I always end up buying the pink ones no matter how my friends convince me to try other shades.

Shades of pink! 

My current favorites!

Plum Delicious Nails!

Klik Plum Delicious Php 13.50

I initially bought this because it's cheap. I wasn't expecting much but to my surprise I liked it. It's easy to apply because it dries fast and it may not show in the picture but it has that shimmery effect which made me like it more.

What I don't like about this is the packaging because the sticker label peels of easily. Also, I noticed that it doesn't last long compared to other brands I tried if applied alone but maybe it will make a difference if a top coat was applied.

Anyhow, I still like it because I'm really not the type who wears a certain color for a long time. I usually change nail polish every week and sometimes thrice in 2 weeks depending on my mood. If you're like me and you don't want to spend much, I guess this will do :)

Loving my Cracked Nails

I wasn't able to go to work today because I don't feel well and I was lying on my bed the whole day. Talk about being unproductive. Good thing there's such a thing as the online world to keep me company. Anyway, I'm not in the mood to talk much now so I'll just share my newly polished nails. :)

The pink one is from Etude house PK014 (I'm not really sure if that's the product code though) .
That was a gift from Roxy. I love it! I was borrowing her other nail polish she gave me that instead. :)

OMG Cracked (Php34.75) at the Landmark. I really cannot compare the quality with other brands
because I haven't tried them yet but this one is a lot cheaper! It's not at all bad when you apply a glossy top coat.

032311 Make-up 101 with Roxy :)

I stayed at Roxy's place while I wait for my friends. We we're going a bit emo for what has happened in the past and not to mention the love songs playing in the background… sad love songs. Then out of the blue, Roxy started applying her lipstick. I asked her to let me try it too. Then we began doing the step by step make up tutorial. Ha ha! We were already applying the powder concealer when we decided to do it the right way… To cleanse, tone and moisturize before anything else.

We had an impromptu make up 101 and she taught me how to do it step by step. :) My usual make up routine is just to put on concealer, apply powder, mascara, blush and lipstick. The complete make-up routine is overwhelming because I had to do so much but it was all worth it. Make up does wonders! Hehe. 

We applied the exact same things except for the lipstick and concealer and this is how it looked :)

Here's the make-up routine Roxy taught me, in order:

• Cleanse. Tone. Moisturize -  to remove excess oil on our face so the make up will blend evenly when applied.

• Start of with a Make Up Primer/ Base (Loreal True Match  Make Up Base) - to keep the fab make up last longer.

• Conceal those icky dark spots (Max Factor Concealer Pan Stick - Nouveau Beige) - since I'm using a cream-based concealer I applied this first before the powder foundation. She told me that the rule of thumb is apply cream-based (am not sure if I used the right term) first before you apply the powder-based. 

• Add Foundation (Ellana Mineral Concealer Foundation) - to even out the color of the skin. This also hide imperfections and to make skin look smoother.

• Brighten Eyes - For me, this is the trickiest part but the most fun as well. Roxy kept on telling me that there are no rules in applying make up and we just have to do what we think is the most convenient for us. Anyhoo, I still did what she was doing then it was a make-up tutorial 101 anyway. 
• Eyeshadows (Body Shop Shimmer Waves) - we used the light pink and brown palette
• for the Crease (Ellana Embrace Dark Shade) - a darker shade to accentuate 
• Highlight (Body Shop) - I forgot what this is for
• Eyeliner (Dior) and Mascara (Wet n Wild) - this is a make up essential for me because I have short and thin lashes :)

• Add Color to Your Cheeks (Nars in Taos) - I love this shade and this really lasts long :)

• Pucker up, Add lipstick (Maybelline Color Sensational in Coral) - Do you know who invented the lipstick? I can kiss him/her for doing so. :)

That was a lot, don't you think? Well, at least for someone as lazy as me. Ha ha! I had fun though and it's really an instant pick me up. Thanks Rox. ;)

off to meet my friends :)
