Spring Greens

It's March! Can't believe I can really write monthly and have time prepping up and doing several fun looks. I'll be sharing with you a colorful eye makeup I did just in time for spring. Though in my country we've never had four seasons, I've already experienced the transition of beautiful colors all year round just using my colorful makeup palette. All we need is just creativity and think of those colors that best resemble the beauty of newly bloomed flowers and leaves.

I'm actually thinking of colorful petals on my eyelids but I'm not in the mood to blend pinks, yellow, and orange on my eyelids so I thought I should just play up with different shades of green and just use pinks and corals on my lips and cheeks. I skipped using false eyelashes coz I couldn't find my eyelash glue. My little cousin played with it again and I'm sure it's lost forever.

What's In My Makeup Bag?

You have no idea how many eyeshadows, powders, brushes, lippies and mirrors I carry with me. When I was in highschool and college my pen's always missing, but my eyeliners were always complete, and never misplaced. Sometimes I even forget my notes at home,

but my book of eyeshadow palettes were never forgotten...

Makeup Kit last 2010

1.Avon Supershock mascara in black

2. Revlon eyelash curler

3. Estee Lauder eyeliner 

4. eyebrow brush

5. lipbrush from Tinte cosmetics

6.Elf smudge brush

8. Tinte Cosmetics Matchbook in Natural Beauty

9. The Face Shop Cream Foundation

10. Lancome ColorFocus Self Select eyeshadow quad

I used to love that Matchbook from Tinte Cosmetics in Natural Beauty that I bought at Beauty Bar for P1,600 pesos only and the Lancome Color Focus Self Select eyeshadow quad from my bezzie.

More makeups that I alternately use before, some were prizes from Maybelline and L'oreal

when I won for Hair in Manila's contest last 2010.

When I was working my makeup kit has doubled. Sometimes I carry everything I can,

coz whenever I have free time I put makeup on, take a selfie and blog.

It's my office table way back 2012. That flowery tangerine makeup bag's from Clinique,

and was given by my aunt who gave the same Louis Vuitton's Spring 2002 Collection White Multicolour/Murakami Monogram Speedy 30 bag. I told everyone in the office that the bag's fake every time they ask me if it's authentic. I don't want to overwhelm them like why I use such thing and I seldom use it. But it isn't. It's actually the original LV Speedy 30.

Aunt bought it before the knockoffs were sold in the market. I'm still thankful she gave it to me, of all the people that she knew. The first time that I saw this bag, I think I was in highschool. I don't care much about LV that time. Seeing it again, it didn't look old, and it's more than 10 years old.

What's more important than that bag was the piece of advice she gave me and it really did change some of my plans in life, love and career. Aunt currently resides in California.

I just see her once every 2 years, or twice a year.

Another office table shot! Yes I do share my makeups with my office mates.I even received gifts from them. That Chanel kit was given by Ate Janice, my friend who used to work with Elizabeth Arden at Duty Free Cosmetics aisle.There's more that wasn't even reached by my cam.You have no idea.

Now that I'm preggo I've decided to minimize everything! I only carry the important ones, but they still seem plenty for a small purse.

Purse from: Marithe Francois Girbaud

What's inside my purse?

1. Revlon Eyelash curler

2. Victoria's Secret Dream Angels miniature perfume

3. Clinique eyeshadow and blush quad

4. Mac Heatherette Compact replaced with a dual powder foundation

5. Maybelline Clearsmooth Mineral Blush in Original rose

6. Etude House Shini Star Lipbalm in Guava

7. L'oreal Hip Eyeshadow brush

8. Elf Stippling brush

9. Barenaturals Flat Top brush

10. Kirkland Borghease Eyebrow brush

11. Jazzy Collection Cream Foundation

12. Johnson's baby lotion

13. Nyx Lipstick in Dusty Rose

I even customized my own palette that I can easily carry around,travelling, sleepovers at my father in law's house, anywhere.I depotted neutral eyeshadows and a few pink and peach blushes. Some were from my Kirkland Borghease palette, Sugar Skull Cosmetics 88 Earth Palette, and single eyeshadows that I got from the past.

When I was still a student nurse all the essential things for the patient should be at bedside.

Well, my bedside's like this at the moment, a few weeks from now it'll be different

and all my makeup stash will be there. ^_^ I feel sorry for my husband.

The scent that I'm loving at the moment: Heiress.I've been sniffing this scent from my bestfriend for years and years but I don't like it that much. Now my pregnant brain told my

olfactory nerve that this one's the best, aside from Purr by Katy Perry.

 By the way go and check it out! I'm lovin' these accessories from Sweet Frostings.

4minute Hyuna Bubble Pop MV Inspired Makeup

I love Hyuna. I used to think she was overrated and I don't like the way she dances too provocatively with seducing facial expressions to think she's still too younh, but after I saw her in person during their visit and small show at the SM Mall of Asia,I'm officially a fan!!

She's prettier in person than on television and even pictures. She has a very small face,

thick voluminous hair and she's sexy skinny, I mean really skinny but sexy.

Hyuna was originally a member of Wondergirls, but due to her health she was replaced
and she didn't even make it when the Wondergirls made it big. But I think she fits well with 4minute more than with WG.

Her solo promotions were good.
"Change" was sick,

 

but "Bubble pop" is sicker for me.

When I saw the video I instantly got addicted that I even shared it with my bestfriend.

She dances well and every wardrobe she wore turned out to be amazing.

It hugged her figure really well.

But, the first few minutes from her music video

reminds me of Beyonce's Crazy in love MV.

Same outfit & entrance LOL

However,thefact is she's still very young. Her image doesn't go well with her age.
Sometimes her facial expressions were scarier than any other
sexy stars in Korea, which makes her even older and more experienced than Hyori.
She doesn't look innocent at all which is really sad. She's too young for that.

but I also strongly agree that she will be the next Hyori, but better.

Korea's version of J.lo: Lee Hyori

Now for my ambitious take of her look:

Since it was released during Summer in Korea,

the colors are mostly golden & bronzy.

She even got a fake tan to match her concept.

I'm naturally pale and I didn't bother to get a fake tan coz it wont suit me.

Face:

Estee Lauder Cyber White Foundation in Cool Beige

NYC pressed powder

Clinique Dermawhite concealer

Also, I bought a few products from Avon. I'm an Avon user since highschool.

I used to purchase it from my Aunt who's an Avon dealer as well.

A few days & weeks ago I got the Ultra Moisture Rich Lipstick in Pale Rose,

24K Moisture Rich lipsticks in Golden Peach,  24K Pink and Natural Gold,

(i already gave it to someone) Eyeshadow quads in Sandy Corals & Smokey,
The extralast collection (mascara & eyeliner) & the dual ended brush.

There goes my moolahs.
