FOTD: The Look I wore on CHRISTMAS EVE

Hi there beauties! A lot of days have passed and browsing through our Baguio vacay photos, I just realized that I wasn't able to take a snap shot of my look on Christmas Eve. So I re-created it since I promised to post my FOTD for you.

What I've used:

THE FACE SHOP Lovely Me Ex make up base

REVLON Photo Ready in Shell

ELF Eyelid primer

Yes, I didn't use eyeliner on Christmas Eve. :)

So there! Wish me luck on my first day at work. I'm on a mid-shift training from 2pm 'til 10pm so I need to fight sleep. LOL!

Thanks and have a nice week ahead!

Review: IN2IT Sheer Eye Colour

How have you been ladies? How's your Christmas vacay? We're all heading up for the New Year celebration and I am preparing myself for getting back into the office world. Well, home based job is pretty much okay but my body's longing for everyday work in the office. I mean, I'm used to going out of the house for work in the past six years. So I've decided to maybe try working in the office again before having workshops for my new business venture next year. :)

Anyway, let me update my blog before the year ends. I'm posting a review on my so used eye shadow duo for this holidays. Yes, I've been using this often this month. It's my first IN2IT product, Sheer Eye Colour EY 12 Earth.

The packaging gives a clear view of the product 

It has a small mirror and an applicator 

It is somehow same as MAC baked e/s

PRO's:

- very affordable price for only Php 299 (US $ 7)

- very pigmented

- soft and easy to apply

- can be brought at any SM Dept stores

- it's compact is good to bring along without taking too much space

CON's:

- should always apply an e/s base before application

- can easily shed without a base

OVERALL:

I love the color and pigmentation and it can also be a dupe to MAC bakes e/s.

'Til my next review! :)

My "ARTies" for our BAGUIO CHRISTMAS Vacay

Two days and we're going up North! Yep, we'll celebrate Christmas in Baguio since hubby's mom will be here for only a few days. She'll be leaving on the 30th and won't be able to spend the New Year with us, so Christmas will be hers. :)

Before, I do pack a lot of things whenever we go to a short trip. But now, I can't do that thing anymore 'cause I have to concentrate mostly on what Yale's bag will contain. 

I only chose some of the little staples I'll be needing for the holiday looks. Since I'm pretty sure that we won't stay all day at the hotel. Definitely, we'll be goin' out a lot during our stay there. So better look always good on the camera! LOL

too much? nah, just enough to create a face. lol

 THE FACE SHOP Lovely Me Ex Make up base - I love this so much!

BENEFIT Lemon Aid and Boi-ing

ELF Eyelid primer

REVLON Photo Ready Liquid Foundation - I have a strong feeling that this bottle will be emptied soon!

MAC Select Sheer Pressed powder

IN2IT Duo Eye shadow - baked shadows good for the holidays

HERBENCH Paint Box - I'm good with this! 

AVON Eye defining pencil

TONY MOLY Simple Style Mascara

ELF Cream liner

ETUDE HOUSE Color My Brows

ELF Eyelash curler 

MAC Heroine Lipstick

MAC Russian Red Lipstick

ESTEE LAUDER Pure Color Long Last Lipstick in Mystic Mauve

You can never go wrong by having different shades! 

ELF Brushes:

Stipple

Eye shadow

Blending

and

Extra cosmetic wedges 

Temporarily, this pouch will be their home while we're away from home :)

And of course, to cleanse off make up after, I just have to bring my ever so trusted POND's cold cream.

Also, to keep lips moisturized is a lip balm and a VS scent to keep me fresh! 

Excited for our trip! Happy Holidays! :)

FOTD: WEDDING 12-12-12

Hi there again my pretty and gorgeous readers! I've had no posts for the last couple of days for our preparation for my long time friend Jhelyn's wedding. Yes, it's December 12th, 2012! And my baby boy is part of the entourage, he's actually the youngest member at 1 year and 7 months old on the 14th. :)

Anyway, here's the look I've made since I wore a matt gold chiffon gown yesterday.

What I've used:

THE FACE SHOP Lovely Me Ex Make up base

BENEFIT The POREfessional

MAC Fix+ (sprayed on stippling brush)

REVLON Photo Ready Liquid Foundation in Shell

 ELF Eyelid Primer

ELF Correcting Concealer

Hair done by my sister-in-law, thanks Myla!

with my little prince, the coin bearer Greyam Yale!

We had so much fun and we were very happy for our friend Jhelyn's wedding. I'm also glad that she made Yale carry their symbol of treasure, even though he's too young to be part of a wedding entourage. Hubby actually accompanied Yale in walking down the aisle and sat beside him too. The night was full of laughter and fun! Congrats again marsie and Pel! We love you both! Enjoy your honeymoon!

'til next! :)

PRE-HOLIDAY Make Up Haul

Hello there lovelies! I had an early make up haul for this month 'cause I don't have any plans of buying too much make up and stuffs. I need to concentrate more on buying gifts for the family, Yale and my God children. Well, for God children, I always prefer to give them monetary gifts instead of stuffs. But for those kids who are rather celebrating their birthdays and christening, I prefer giving them stuffs if I'm not a God parent. :)

This month's pre-holiday haul are somewhat some of the "basic" things that I want to add on my kit. Notice that there will be no MAC or a lipstick item, you'll know why before this month ends.

Here are the things I bought:

Five items :)

ELF Stipple brush - Php 249.75 (around US $6)

TONY MOLY Simple Style Mascara - Php 198 (about US $4)

ELF Eyelid Primer - Php 129.75 (US $3)

ELF Blending Eye brush - Php 129.75 (around US $3)

IN2IT Sheer Eye Shadow - Php 299 (US $7)

Another reason for purchasing only a few is because I wanted to try these products for my friend's wedding that I'll be attending on the 12th. So all I have to do now is to try these products first and I'm actually excited for the eye shadow, my first purchase from IN2IT!

Review on these products soon! :)
