I think I’m becoming a makeup enthusiast! 
I’ve never posted so much about makeup until recently. I used to be contented in my basic makeup that I usually do (concealer, 2-way foundation powder, blush and lipstick), but now I feel it’s not enough. I’m just too eager to learn more. I’m amazed whenever I watch make-up artists practice their profession. I can say my little knowledge about makeup is mainly from watching them do others’ or my own makeup. And so now, I have to take it to another level. Hehe! I got this book, BOBBI BROWN MAKEUP MANUAL, recently…

Just a quickie post here before I fix up. LOL! This can’t wait! Hahaha!
Since it’s my birthday, I decided to paint my nails red. Again, I need to follow the Chinese tradition of wearing red on birthday celebrations. And since I haven’t really thought of what to wear today, at least I have something red if I decide to go against the tradition- my lovely nails! LOL! The thing is I’m tired of the plain red nail polish so I decided to do this…

Chanel Fall 2010 nail polish is once again a hit, as always!
We all love the legendary taupe nail polish, Particuliere, in Chanel’s Spring 2010 collection. In fact in my recent trip in Bangkok, I was so tempted to get one when I visited Chanel’s boutique in Paragon mall. There was one bottle left, but I thought I’ll buy it if it’s available in the airport. If it’s meant to be, it is meant to be! Apparently, it is not! LOL! Then came Chanel’s turquoise polish, Nouvelle Vague. We saw Hollywood celebrities wear it in the red carpet. And now, it is Chanel Paradoxal’s turn…

I seldom use eyeliner. I find it so messy. Since I have watery eyes all the time (Drama queen, eh! LOL!), it smudges easily. And when that happens, I find it such a hassle to fix it- foundation, concealer and powder all over again around the eyes! Argh! Oh, and never did I use liquid eyeliner. Why? I can’t seem to control my hands using a tiny brush! Well, all these are facts of my past now. Hahaha! I can’t go out without eyeliner anymore! I just recently discovered that there is now a waterproof liquid eyeliner pen. Ignorant me! Has this been in the market for quite some time now??? Oh well, I just learned about it recently! Anyway, here’s what I bought…

Okay, let’s go back to my beauty-related posts. Hey, let me just clarify. I am no expert here. I’m not talking here as if I know everything. I just wanna share what my make-up artist friends have taught me and what make-up products work for me. What sucks about beauty products is that what works for one person doesn’t mean would work for others as well. Results vary as we have different skin types. As a tip, if you have found the beauty products that work best for your skin, stick to them. Trust me, it is so hard to find them unless your skin isn’t too picky. For people like me who have sensitive skin, it’s like a process of trial and error. It is definitely a waste of money whenever I try on something and my skin reacts to it. It can be frustrating! Hehehe!
Anyway, enough of my blabber. I have shared here two of my new found bestfriends, Smashbox Foundation Primer and Make Up For Ever Liquid Foundation. Now, wondering how I apply them on my face? I use this…

Never did I like liquid foundations. I tried it once and I hated it. After a few hours, my skin got so oily. I couldn’t last the entire day wearing it. It felt so heavy and sticky. Well, not until I was introduced to the face and body liquid foundation of Make Up For Ever.

In my previous post, I’ve already shared my new found concealer. Well, the concealer itself works well in hiding those dark circles around the eyes, pimple scars, or basically anything you want to cover. As I said in my post though, I bought two other products for better, or shall I say BEST results. Oh, make that three now since I recently purchased another important beauty tool right before I left for Bangkok. Hehe! Anyway, to get that ultimate flawless complexion, check out this beauty product that I find essential, but is usually neglected.
I have read and heard a number of professional make-up artists talk about primers, but I never really paid much attention to it. I know I am not alone. Some ladies out there probably skip the primer as well right after applying your trusted moisturizer. Recently, I had a beauty talk with my friend, who is a freelance make-up artist. She did my make-up once for a final casting call. Geesh, yes I was pushed to go for a casting! Now I’m shy! Hahaha! Anyway, moving on… I really liked what she did for my natural look and my make-up did not wear off even after several hours! In addition to this, my skin did not oil too much, which is a miracle! When I went out with her again, I really had to ask for the products she used on me. At the back of my mind, I definitely have to buy them! Me not having an oily skin after several hours on full make-up is a miracle! LOL!
And what’s the secret to a flawless complexion?

I haven’t shared my beauty products for quite some time now. Sorry, my bad! My busy schedule the past few months did not allow me to blog anything! Well, now I’m free! Plus, now is the perfect time for me to share some of my beauty products since I just recently spent on some make-up stuff. Oh dear, I’m really broke! In one day, I spent about a little more than Php 5,000 just for make-up! Argh! Oh, and add to that my shopping at Forever 21 two days after! Yes, finally I was able to drop by SM Megamall. And guess why?! I went there for a check-up since I’ve been sick for almost 5 days now. Before going to the clinic, I stayed at Forever 21 for 4 hours and left the store as if there’s no tomorrow! I thought I’d feel better afterwards, but I was so wrong! LOL! I’m still sick, plus it just made me feel so broke. Haha! Since I don’t have work now, I love the fact that I’m able to rest all day and do whatever I want. I hate it as well since I end up shopping almost everyday! Oh dear! But anyway, everything I bought is really worth it. As for the make-up, I have already tried them on. I was surprised with the outcome of my make-up. It’s like professionally done! LOL! Anyway, enough of my blabbering here. Let’s go back to business…
