FOTD: Lighter Days, Lighter Brows

I attended another church wedding. Isa na lang talaga maiinggit na ako. CHARRR! hehehe. 

Siyempre eto na naman ako sa isang FOTD na pinamagatang... kailangang pa bang imemorize yan??? hahaha! Same old makeup routine but I did use new products. :P I guess I love applying makeup products that I'm comfortable with rather than trying tons of products that I probably won't use everyday. For me, it is important to own makeup products that you can use anywhere, anytime and for any occasion.   In short, di lang talaga ako magaling magmake up kaya I stick to the routine that I know would make me look decent. LOL. :P

On a side note, I refuse to believe wearing makeup is for high maintenance girls. Nagmake up lang HM agad-agad??? lol The beauty of wearing makeup is learning the look that suits well on a girl's face. I don't have the money to attend makeup classes or the luxury of hiring professional MUA every time I attend special events. Applying my own makeup pushed me to learning and appreciating my physical appearance. Moreover, I discover products that work well on my skin. Atsaka, di ba nila alam meron tayong tinatawag na 5-minute makeup routine? O keber diba? Iba diyan ilang oras mag-ayos kahit di nagmemakeup. 

Anyway, here are the list of products I used: 

Face:

Pinkie Swear Cream Foundation in CCF-03

Fanny Serrano Two way Cake in Silk

E.L.F High Definition Powder

Careline Oil Control Blush-on in Peach Glow

E.L.F Healthy Glow Bronzer in Luminance

Brows:

In2it Waterproof Eyebrow Colour

Nichido Mineral Pencil in Tiger Eye
Jazzy Collections  Eyebrow Gel in Frosted Brown

Eyes:

In2it Waterproof Eyebrow Colour
(I used the lightest shade as an eye shadow and used it for contouring the nose as well.)

Nichido Girls Night out Eye Pencil in Blackest Black

Maybelline The Falsies Volume Express Mascara

False Lashes (I cut one lash in half)

Lips:

Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Mauvey

Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Port

Tutal nagpapakavain na ako sa mga photos ko... kakapalan ko na brows ko... literally. HAHAHA! :P

Galit-galitan Brows

Samahan pa natin ng video. :P

FOTD: A Magical Wedding Event

Last week, I attended Nani's sister's church wedding. The newly wed couple already had a civil marriage last year, 11-11-11, but having a church wedding made their love story more magical. We got to know more about the couple and their families. And it was truly a great experience for me since it was my first time to be part of the entourage. I was so excited to share the wonderful evening with Nani's sister, Ate Rachelle, and her husband, Kuya Nikko. I couldn't explain how inspired I became when they finally declared their vows. Super Kilig talaga. :) Ate Rachelle and Kuya Nikko are both lawyers and they met in San Beda College of Law during their freshmen years. They are truly inspirations to law student couples. :) SEE!!! Relationship is not a hindrance in law school. hehe. <3 Anyway, here's a sneak peek of their wedding trailer and wedding slideshow. 
Now a wedding event is a very special ceremony. Since I was one of the secondary sponsors, I wanted to look polished and appropriate. I was having second thoughts whether or not I would ask for a professional help with my makeup.  I didn't want to be disappointed with my makeup. First of all, I have uneven folds on my eyelid. Typical application of eyeliner would look horrible on me. Secondly, since I have uneven folds, my eyes don't look symmetrical. Certain eyeshadow colors emphasize that. Lastly, I don't like full coverage makeup. I had several bad experiences with salon MUAs so I decided to be my own make up artist. Char lang diba???

Loving my Maybelline the Falsies Mascara! :)

Me and my beautiful Mom. :) I love her very much. She's the strongest woman I've ever known.

 My mom never had the confidence to tell herself that she's beautiful but I believe she is. She's the most beautiful person I have ever known. She is a CPA but when she got married she gave up her career to take care of her children. And now, she helps my dad with our family business to support our studies. I love my mom. I can't imagine my life without her. I feel like a big part of me will die if that's gonna happen. hehe. :) My mom suffered from Bell's Palsy when I was little. And five years ago, she had undergone surgery for a heart bypass because of Aortic Aneurysm. Even now I can't believe she went through all that. I pray that on my wedding day, she and dad will walk me down the aisle. :) For that, I'll be the happiest bride. :)

Nani's Plate

My Plate. YUM! :)

Zalora Philippines Grand Launch

WARNING: This post is photo-heavy.

Last week, I attended the Zalora Philippines Grand Launch at Sky Lounge, Bonifacio Global City. It was a fashion event so I looked into my closet for something fashionable and comfortable. I wanted to wear a skirt or a dress but, since Nani and I were going to commute, I decided to wear my harem pants. Mahirap makipagsiksikan sa MRT na nakapalda. So gora na lang maghaharem pants ako. I also found my sleeveless top which I bought a long time ago. 

I finally used the ELF Beauty Manual Face Edition and I was impressed. I loved the shimmering creams. They made my skin look healthy and glowing. :) I'm currently eyeing on the shimmering palette by ELF. Kahit walang blush basta may shimmering cream, ok na ako. HAHA. To compliment my natural makeup look, I used Ever Bilena Matte Lipsticks in Mauvey and Off Beat Pink. 

subtle two-tone lips

Apparently, I love wearing pearls. :) I didn't have any other accessories that would match my outfit so, I thought, my pearl earrings would do. 

Face:

ELF Studio Mineral Infused Face Primer

James Cooper Cream Foundation (used as concealer)

The Face Shop Professional Foundation in Shade 21 (for the dewy cheeks)

Fanny Serrano Two Way Cake Foundation in Silk (Mattify oily areas of the face)

ELF Beauty Manual Face Edition (used shimmering creams and bronzer)

Eyes:

In2it Eyebrow palette

Nichido Mineral Kohl Pencil in ONYX

False Lashes

Maybelline Cat Eyes Mascara 

Lips:

Ever Bilena in Mauvey

Ever Bilena in Off Beat Pink

Wore Manels Shoes (gift from Nani)

Blouse I bought @ SM Dept Store (sabi na SM Girl ako e. haha)

Harem Pants from 168 Divisoria

Now let's go to the main event: ZALORA PHILIPPINES GRAND LAUNCH. I think the company did a great job on marketing its website and its business idea- bringing the ultimate online shopping experience in the Philippines. I was already aware of the company prior to the invite because I saw their ads in Facebook, Youtube and other websites. It carries a number of local and international brands and it continues to expand not only with brand choices but with the product categories as well. Aside from shoes, clothes and accessories,  it also offers home and living, and sports products. 

Another great thing about this company is that it has same-day delivery and free shipping nationwide. WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR? If you don't have the time to visit a mall, Zalora is the best place to go. It's a girl's best shopping buddy. Moreover, its website has a very appealing interface- very neat, organized and user-friendly too. Now if you're still unconvinced, let me tell you that it also offers Cash-On-Delivery (COD). That means you don't have to make a deposit in a bank unlike the payment routines with other online stores. Thank goodness to the persons who made these things possible. 

Love her makeup

And these are the men who made ZALORA possible. 

I definitely want to try buying from Zalora. The only thing I need now is the money to buy items from the site. HAHA. Frugal me. >_<

Before I end this post, let me just share with you the person I was with the entire night. She's my savior! :P  Sobrang lost talaga ako. :P Good thing I met this wonderful lady and had a great company during the event.

Ate Karen from RAKETCHICK

Ms. Karen is the blog author of RaketChick. She is a freelance writer, dj, hiphop dancer and a super cool mom of two handsome boys. She was really nice to talk to me first since I was too shy and all. We talked about our blogs, outfits, Zalora, and even our personal lives.

Both of us agreed to go home early since I have Nani waiting for me outside the building and she needed to finish some work. However, we didn't leave the premises until we took some vain photos together. HAHA. Pinag-interesan namin ang photobooth. Kailangang makapagphotobooth kami bago umuwi. :P Pati Ladies' Room nabiktima namin. lol.

I thought petite girls couldn't wear boots but she proved me wrong. Parang gusto ko na tuloy magboots.  

Thank you Nuffnang and Zalora for this event! :) 

At salamat din sa aking Pangga na walang sawang sumusuporta sakin. :)  Talagang hinintay niya ako. Di lang yon, hatid sundo pa kahit sobrang init at nakakapagod ang biyahe. Tas sobrang layo niya pa sa may amin. :( Swerte talaga ako sayo, lablab. :) Minsan napapaiyak ako kapag uuwi na siya sa kanila tapos medyo late na at alam kong magcocommute lang siya... kasi alam ko yung feeling e. Haha. Sacrifice talaga yung ganon lalo na kapag mahirap sumakay pauwi. *biglang nagreminisce... gumaganon*

I LAB YOU, PANGGA!

^___^

PS. Belated Happy Mother's Day! :)
