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

Lips:

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. :)

Product Review: In2it Waterproof Eyebrow Colour

    I posted about this product months ago on my facebook page but I wasn't able to post a review here on my blog as I was busy during that time. I bought this product last November 2011(Yes, I know exactly when as my photo albums are organized by date. :P) and despite my frequent use, I don't think I will be finishing this up even this year (or next year!). If you're looking for a good eyebrow powder, then here is my two cents about the In2it Waterproof Eyebrow Colour.

What I like:

• The palette comes with three shades which are all wearable. I don't know which shade I use the most as I alternately use each shade. :) I never thought I'm going to like the black shade but it is surprisingly buildable. 
• It is waterproof. I don't have to retouch my eyebrows during the day. :)
• You can mix the three shades to match your hair color or to compliment your skin tone. I like it when my brows are a shade or two shades lighter than my hair color.
• This palette can be used as eyeshadows. One of my readers and fellow blogger shared this to me and it works well to me. :)
• I can't say it is cheap but it is affordable @ Php 299.
• The product is accessible. (can be found in leading stores)
• It has Vitamin E.
• The packaging provides the expiration date. Duration of the product is 5 years which is great as I think it is going to last 5 years as well! :P
• A little amount goes a long way! :P 
• Shades have good pigmentation whether the applicator is dry or wet.
• It can be easily removed with a good facial cleanser.
• And most importantly, the end result is natural looking brows! And you can have decent brows using a dry brush applicator. :) 

What I don't like:

• The applicator scrapes to much of the product. I recommend using an eyebrow angled brush with a spoolie. 
• The palette contains only brow powders. :P I hope it contains brow wax just like other brow palette. :P

Will I repurchase?

     I don't think I'll be buying another brow palette any time soon but I highly recommend this to everyone. :P Although I love this product, I want to try eyebrow pen in the future. :P For now, this will do. Anyway, I love how my brows look using this palette. :)

See how my brow transforms! :)

     As I've mentioned above, the shades of this palette are buildable. If you've watched Noe's tutorial on how she does her brows, such structured brows can be attained by using the same palette. I opted for a natural looking brows so I did not put a lot of the product. :P Baka magmukha akong matured e. Ok na sakin yung mukha lang akong bata... bata-batuta! :P hihihi.

Btw, I used the black shade. OHA! :P

Etude Haul, New Nail Polishes, Make up Kit and More

Hello, girls! I hope you are enjoying summer. 

Last Wednesday, I was able to visit Etude House @ SM Fairview. I never knew they had inexpensive nail polishes that were worth Php 48 and Php 98. So I grab the two shades that attracted me. I was also very glad that I was able to buy eyelid tapes at Php 58. Too bad, I did not bring my Pink Membership Card. :( But it was ok. I still enjoyed it. 

I bought eyelid tapes not because I have monolids. Most of the time, whenever I'm stressed, my right eyelid becomes a monolid which makes me conscious because my eyes look weird . The culprit can be stress, a result of crying until I fell asleep... or both. So to avoid that semi-monolid situation (which I think will be frequent once law classes start), I bought these handy-dandy tapes. I tried it yesterday and it looked natural on my lid. I wasn't able to take pictures of me wearing it but I'll try to post it some other time.

From left to right: Etude House PP904 (Php 98), Elianto Night Glitters (Sale @ Php 60), Etude House BR307 (Php 48)

I also want to share with you guys the nail polishes I recently bought this year. My nail polish collection is growing FAST. I just can't help buying these cute nail polishes especially that they're very inexpensive. Speaking of inexpensive, I want to show you my new nail polish discovery: MUTYA.

I bought them at Php 44. 75 each. The packaging is catchy and chic. The gold coated cap makes this a little more sophisticated than other drugstore nail polishes. Aside from that, it has catchy names for each shades.

Here's a link from Mutya's website so that you can also check out the available shades.

Here is a picture of my growing nail polish collection.

I apologize for my very unattractive/distractive study table. I'm planning to organize my things this summer but I'm too lazy to clean my room. :P

Just like everyone else, I've been changing foundations as I find better products that suit my skin. I also discover new products to add to my make up kit. So another year, another updated make up kit. 

1. Make up Bag I bought @SM Marikina
2. Nichido Eyebrow Pencil
3. Nichido Eyeliner Smudge free (although it will smudge a little bit if you have oily lids which I do. Hopefully I'll be able to find a good eyeliner for me. I'm still in search of that product)
4. IN2IT Mascara (brief review in this post)
5. VOV Cream Foundation
6. E.L.F Bronzer Powder (Luminance)
7. Nichido Mono Eyeshadow
8. Max Factor Weightless Foundation in Beige Linen ( I'm a shade lighter but I find this shade more natural for me. It covers my blemishes than my real shade)
9. Revlon Nude Lipstick ( I don't really wear it but I still bring it)
10. E.L.F All-Over-Stick in Golden Peach
11. Etude House Eyelid tapes. 

Before I end my post I also want to share with you some crafts and furnitures I want to buy to add accent in my room. Not sure if I can buy the chair though. I visited KULTURA PILIPINAS store @ SM MOA and it is worth almost Php 10,000. 

This looks great for organizing my nail polish collection. :D

Disclaimer: Not from KULTURA but I'd love to have this in my room!

Who doesn't want a nice shoe rack/shelf?

Thanks for reading and have a nice weekend!
