Arabian Princess Make Up

(03.08.13)

This type of make up focuses mainly on the eyes which should be seductive yet mysterious and clearly-defined set of brows. You can use bold and vibrant colors that would definitely stand out in the crowd. So here's my version of Arabian Princess Make up, enjoy!

Sea Nymph Make Up 02.09.13

After months of hibernating, I'm finally back..  :)

Anyways, to kick-start this love month, here's what I tried to recreate for my niece's school pageant. The theme of their pageant was "Water" and thus the term "Sea Nymph" came to my mind.

For the first picture, I made use of aqua blue, black and silver sequins and glued them on to my brows to make them look like "fish scales". It was really fun doing it but the only mistake I did was - make use of my lash grip eyelash adhesive instead of a different one. Oh boy, I really did make a boo-boo. It took me almost half an hour to take each sequin off my brow. Hahaha!

Moving on to make up products, I used 2 shades of blue eyeshadow from my ever-reliable, everyday eyeshadow mini palette - Aido. I used shade number 3 as my base and the darker shade number 8. For my cheeks I used Nichido Cool Rum  and NYX Narcissus for my lips.

Here, I just used rhinestones... actually lots of them! hahaha. And this time, I just used a regular transparent glue to stick them on to my temples and cheekbones. LoL!
Same products were used but I dabbed on some purple on my crease to add more color (shade number 10).

Enjoy and have fun creating your take on Sea Nymph make up or any fantasy-inspired characters you might have in mind.

Lippies and Liners

I just wanna share with you my favorite lipsticks and lipliners. I use these when I go to work or go out with friends or when I'm just my loved-ones. Let me warn you though, there are no lip glosses here. I just  don't wear them. (I really don't like that icky feeling that you have something sticky on your lips! haha).

1).  This is my favorite from the bunch! -  Cavalli Clove Lipliner Color number 26. I used to stay away from lippies which are too  bright and too pink since I'm scared that I might look older. But this one really flatters my skin tone!

2). Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush (Limelight) - This is a gorgeous fuchsia shade from VS.

3). Ever Bilena Pro Lipliner (Stock#13915) - I believe all of you would agree that red lipsticks are a must! It's like having your own little black dress. I normally wear this when I feel too lazy to put on make up. I just do my eyebrows, curl my lashes and put on a red lipstick and I'm ready to go.

4). Mac (Photo) - This is one of the 4 MAC products in this post that a friend gave me as a "pasalubong" when she was in Singapore. These are just replicas but hey who am I not to accept any gifts from a dear friend? These are gorgeous finds and I'm rockin' it and ownin' it (hahaha)

5). NYX Round Lipstick (Hermes) - Oooh another favorite of mine.. There was a phase in my life that all I wanted was nude-colored lipsticks. And unfortunately this is the only product that survived that era! Lol.

6). Mac (Shy Girl) -  These are the 3 remaining replica products that a friend gave me.
7). Mac Barbie (No.9)
8). Mac Barbie (No.12)

9). NYX Round Lipstick (Narcissus) - I'm gonna let you in on a secret - this is the very first time I've ever used this product since I bought it a year ago... I don't know, I just can't find the right occasion to wear this. Though It's too bright for me, I just couldn't let it go...

10). Nars Lipliner (Color M18) - This lipliner spells "F-U-C-H-S-I-A". And when I say fuchsia, it is literally vivid reddish, purplish and magenta-inspired color! I super love this liner!

11).  NYX Round Lipstick (Paris) - Now this is the kind of pink shade that I really really really, I mean really really like.

12). Secret  Lipliner (Color No. 13) - Here's another barely-there colored lipliner.  I use this when I put on smokey and dark eyeshadows. Since I already have a very dramatic eye make up, I pair it up with this super subtle nude lipliner.
