FOTN: Green with Envy

I rarely go out at night these days, but when I do I always make sure my look for that specific night's well planned and polished. Let me share with you ladies the makeup look I did when I watched SS109's show last night at Imusix Place. To those who didn't know my husband and my younger brother were in an old school glam metal band named SS109. I only get to watch their show whenever it's their mini solo concert. For tonight I've decided to wear my military inspired bolero. Underneath is my favorite black sleeveless top. The supporters of the band were told to wear black actually but then the band's name came from the name of a bullet, so my OOTN was also inspired by the band itself. Since it's night time the quality of the pictures weren't really good.Bored by my typical brown/bronze smokey eyes, I was dying to try green eyes for tonight. 

my eyes zoomed, with flash on

After putting my eye makeup on, it turns out to be a bit too bright for a night time rock concert so I mixed it up with a darker shimmery green eye shadow and matte black eyeshadow which I worked on my non existent crease so I have to create an illusion to have one, and blend it well so harsh edges won't be possible. I want a soft dark smokey green eyes.

A photo of what I've used that night. That's really a lot. You really can't rush perfection, it took me 30 minutes to complete my look, then the remaining 30 minutes were divided for my husband and bro's hair and makeup. Once again, I'm the band's unofficial makeup artist.

The rest of the band members face were painted at the venue.

A different view of my makeup using my Iphone's cam. Picture was taken with low light. Also for that night's place it was dark with just artificial lights on. I did my best in brightening these pictures. It's still dark and grainy.

MORE GIG PICS

Just like my Estee Lauder Sumptous mascara, our food from the buffet that night was also Sumptous! I swear, their food is more delicious than those at Vikings Luxury Buffet, and it only costs 350 pesos per head. I really did enjoy it and went home sleepy coz I was so full.

I also get to use this bag for the first time. Guess what's inside it.

Excuse the liquor! It's from the vocalist, he gave it for my hubby. Don't get me wrong, I have no vices. Although I've tried to learn how to smoke or even drink at a very young age, my body and my lungs have learned to say no. I don't know but it reacts crazily to liquors and cigarettes. Though my husband has vices he said that what he likes about me is that I don't smoke and drink. Crazy to hear when he says it's 'rare'. Well some girls these days really drink as hard as their dad.. and smokes like a chimney. He starts to quit smoking when we started dating and he's drinking less now. It must have been really hard for him so I told him to quit gradually. I'm afraid he might suffer withdrawal syndrome from sudden quitting. A shoutout to those who choose to live cleanly!

He also decided to add a touch of green to match his usual black smokey for a glam metal-glam rock look. He said he wants to match it with his bass guitar. Well then, we matched. He was even mistaken as a girl, many times. :)

So long lovelies! I'm not sure if it's going to be my final post for this year, but I hope I could add up a new one and wrap up my last post. Thanks for reading. Let's all look forward for a fruitful and dazzling new year!

SS109 Live at Fisher Mall

I've been so busy again these days. My son's growing up so fast and he's taking my time.I couldn't leave him alone anymore, he can even get out of his own walker! Last Wednesday I went out to see SS109's show at The Fisher Mall.

Since I'm already a mom I couldn't really go out, stay up late and watch their gigs on every bars we could possibly have in Cavite, Manila and Makati City.

I could really count on my fingers those gigs and mini concerts that I've watched from them. Since it's gonna be a solo live show from the band and it was a Korean Thanksgiving holiday, I was able to spend the whole day watching and supporting the group.

Sorry baby! You're too young to come and see Daddy's, 

Uncle's and your Ninong's show.

Thanks to Mr. Njel De Mesa, the President of  NDM Incorporated. He invited SS109 and gave the band a solo slot to perform live in front of the young crowd.The solo live performance was sponsored by NDM Studios as a band blowout every Wednesday.

They performed their cover songs and carrier singles for an hour.

The group has been really professional and performed energetically,

headbanging to their music the whole time and rocking the stage.

Each members have their own personality and unique charm,

glammed up with their signature styles with a twist of glam metal and glam rock.

The band slowly introduced themselves and their genre as 80's old school glam metal rock band, and when we say old school it's Motley Crue, Poison, Skid row and more glam metal acts from 80's to early 90's. To those who grew up listening to these old school bands and to those who have watched those rock artists from the 80's then seeing SS109 perform live will be nostalgic.

They nailed the whole performance and most of the audience were students.

It's a bit funny to see their reaction when they saw the band members coming out of the car. They looked at them from head to toe, a bit shocked and stunned, and pretty amazed and amused... and so is everyone inside the mall, be it guards and sale staffs.

Being too different from the young musicians they see on TV and those boy band they listen to these days, it's really nice to see those young boys and girls appreciating and starting to idolize the group. At the end of the show they were clapping and shouting.

I even encouraged the fan boys and fan girls to take a picture with them so they went on stage and had a few shots. Yes, I was the one who took their photos holding several smartphones. I was a photographer, a makeup artist and a personal assistant that day, and a fan girl as well.

This is my hubby, the band's bassist. My younger bro is the band's Keyboardist.

I'm running out of my black eyeliner and black eye shadow because these two men used them more frequently than I use them.

The only photo I have with my husband is this, taken by my younger bro.

During this shoot my hubby kept mocking me and telling people who were looking at us that I'm a die hard fan.

On my lips: Mac Pink Nouveau lipstick

What I wore that day were totally old. I've put up all of my favorite clothes together that I've bought a few years ago. I'm happy that those that I've bought for a long time never go out of style coz I might say they're timeless, and my style has definitely been freaky and odd to begin with. 

Like this leatherette I've got from Genevieve Gozum that I've bought for 1,800 pesos way back 2008, the Marithe Francois Girbaud handbag that I had since 2006, Candies top that I've bought in 2012 and my DIY black midriff top that I used for dancing way back 2006. I remember ironing all the rhinestones to it patiently, one by one.

My leatherette zip up top has so many stories and memories since it's quite old already. I remember how it caught my attention and took a photo of it using my Nokia N70, then went back the next day to the mall to purchase it. I wore it for the first time on my first job's Christmas party since I've always been inappropriately dressed, as it was a smart casual event. Then right after leaving my first job my copy cats from that same company I used to work with bought theirs! They wore it on their Christmas party too.

Anyways, seeing CL from 2ne1 wearing it the way I used to wear it left a huge smile on my face. I'm still claiming I had this style first (HAHAHA), though CL's wearing a real leather.

As for my bottoms I wore my all time favorite shredded black lace leggings 

and suede wedge platform ankle boots, with leopard prints on the inside.

When I wore it at Moa the Beauty Assistants from Mac were asking me where

did I get it, coz they loved it!

Prior to their solo show Francis and Ezzy attended  NDM's Indie Music Awards Night last September 8. Here's their photos with Njel De Mesa and Filipina Girls

On our way to Quezon Avenue I had this beautiful shot of our hand together.

Both of us wearing black nail polish and awesome wristwatch. I gave this snake wristwatch to him and he wore it for his gigs.

Coming up!! We've attended a wedding, and the pictures turned out to be great!

I'll post about it soon, still trying to put it up together, and as always, its more of like an image blog.

You can read the next post in a bit!
