Summer Wedding: Copper Bronze, Sparkly Golds & Corals

If I only knew that I wouldn't use "Marasigan" for a long timeI would definitely choose a different blog name instead. Well I didn't see it coming as well. I got married last May! It was faster than a bullet one. Nobody saw it coming. It happened that fast coz suddenly I found the person that I want to spend the rest of my life with.Even if he asked me out the next day that I met him again I will still say "yes".

True love will only come once in a lifetime, and if he's the right one,you will still end up together eventually.I even got the biggest surprise of my life when I passed the pregnancy test. Hahaha!!! If I will turn back the time I will still choose the same path,having a baby and marrying the sweetest and most caring husband.

Our wedding was supposed to be the simplest one possible. I realized that if you're happy it 

doesn't matter if the wedding is not extravagant, as long as both of you are deeply in love and willing to be together for the rest of your life. We just wanted to get married right away.

If I planned it well I will definitely have a different concept for our simple wedding, since my favorite colors were black and red, but since it was the peak of summer season the colors and outfits should fit the venue, and should be appropriate too, so I chose the tropical colors.

It rained hard on my big day! but since the venue's a bit far from my place it just drizzled there and the event was still romantic

Unfortunately I don't have much time and energy to plan my wedding day. I was too busy eating foods to nourish my precious little angel inside my womb, didn't stress myself either.

My aunt, cousins and mom took the part in planning. Of course, there's no such thing as perfect wedding, but it was the happiest day of my life. If one day my life will flash right before my eyes, then that day would be one of the most vivid, and one of the best. I think next will be the delivery of my baby. I hope he'll take his looks after his daddy.

**Snapshot of my wedding preparation**

I've always wanted to do my own makeup, coz I don't like others to change my face on my special day. I still want to look as"me", no extraordinary transformation or whatsoever just like what I see from the other brides. They look different on their big day coz of their makeup. As for my hair, I dunno how to do it so I asked out a very good friend of mine who does bridal hairs gorgeously.

I'm so blessed with my husband. Of all the people that I've met he's the kindest and the sweetest. We've met before but we weren't given a chance to show how much we really value each other. Fate and destiny might play with us, and only God knows who's the perfect person for us.He knows who we really need in our lives. I will never give him up and I'll do my best to become the perfect wife and the perfect mother for our baby. He gave me the most precious gift and I'm really thankful for that. I will never do anything that might hurt and harm him. 

Francis, if you are reading this I really want to tell you that 

I love you so much.

Keeping Up With The Makeup Of Kardashians/Jenners

Love them? or hate them? You can only have two relationships with this family,

Love or Hate. They've been around for a long time, and the number one most searched family name on search engines and their reality shows have been awarded a few times.

I know there are haters but I really don't understand why they have to say something bad to those people who like and appreciate their reality show. We have different taste and different preference, it's really all about respect and not trying to be rude and offensive.

The advantage of watching them is that you get to see the latest trends in fashion, lifestyle, and new array/range of makeup palettes in America. Their family is always ahead when it comes to the trend: makeup-wise and fashion-wise. They've got the best makeup artists that can do new tricks in color matching and new rules in color blocking, gone are the days of bad blending and bad color matching. Well, who wouldn't love their wardrobes, designer shoes and for me, their makeups? I bet you wouldn't appreciate it if you're not a real makeup junkie.

  

I've watched seasons 3 to 6, including other separate shows from Kourtney and Khloe, Kourtney and Kim, Lamar and Khloe, Kim's fairytale wedding, but I'm really wishing Kendall and Kylie would have their own. The Jenner Sisters are really goooorrrgeeeooouussss!!!

I used to watch the show because of Kim. She used to be my favorite. I love the fact the she knows what to put on together to coordinate her looks, outfit and accessories. FYI Kim used to work as a stylist for Brandy and some famous Hollywood celebrities.

But now her facial features are getting sharper and her preference for clothes are getting too mature. Her mature choice of clothes and her face always changes.. (I guess we have to blame her age and **cough** I'm sure you all get what it is...) now made me think I don't like her that much anymore. Now I watch the show because of the Jenner sisters. They are young and prefers chic clothing to rock star inspired fashion.

 As of now I'm getting obsessed with their house. Yes, you read it correctly, I love looking at Jenner's House. It's simple yet elegant. It's black and white, yet very polished and classy.

The trademark of the Kardashians/Jenners when it comes to makeup is their long luscious spidery eyelashes, smokey eyes, heavily contoured cheeks (except for Kendall and Kylie),

or coral lips for Khloe, red lips for Kourtney and nude lips for Kim.

Also, they love dark nail polish and their hair is always voluminous and long parted in the middle, usually curled that opens up their face. Well, aside from wearing hair extensions if you couldn't let your hair grow, here are some of their favorite makeup products, and dupes to save money, which I myself used and searched. Of course I wouldn't look like them in the first place, and colors will turn out differently since I'm NW20 for Mac, Kardashians are NC35 and darker.

I've compiled the makeups they use and their favorites. I've also provided the tried and tested dupes for those who couldn't afford their high end counterparts.

Kim Kardashian's Makeup

I love the old Kim. She really looks different now, idk.. She loves L'oreal Volumious Carbon Black Mascara, which is cheaper compared to other mascaras out there. For designer ones, she swears by Lancome Hypnose.

She also swears by Makeup Forever High Definition foundation blended with Mac 180 brush. It's often used by her makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic on her. If you're out of budget, try Revlon Photoready liquid foundation.

Sometimes she uses Nars Orgasm blush and Nars Laguna bronzer for contouring.

Try Elf Blush and Contour. Many are saying it's the dupe of Orgasm and Laguna. More Nars orgasm dupes include Nyx pinched, Elf Twinkle pink and Mary Kay Shy blush.

For her signature pinky nude lips that mateches her tanned skin, she loves the combination of Mac Stripdown lip liner, Mac Angel Lipstick mixed with Nars Turkish Delight Lip gloss.

Before I finally got these Mac lippie and Nars lipgloss I tried different and cheaper dupes.

try Revlon Pink Pout mixed with Styli Style lipgloss in Flirty. Beautiful combo.

on my lips:

Wet n' Wild Megalast lipstick in 901C Think Pink is a good Angel dupe as well, then top it off with Victoria's Secret Lipgloss in Pink.

Khloe Kardashian's Makeup

I've found out that Kim and Khloe both love Revlon's Soft Nude Lipstick.

I bought it and it's really a faint peachy type of nude that won't wash you out.

Depending on your lips' pigmentation, this shade flatters every skin tone, yes even those with fair complexion.

Revlon Soft Nude on my lips

I heard Kim's also wore it for her 30th Birthday

Khloe loves coral lips. Somertimes she wears peach, or pinky peach lippies. I still have no idea what's Khloe's favorite brand but her makeup artist Joyce Bonelli revealed what she used for Khloe's lips for People's Choice Award.

It's Smashbox Double Take Lipcolor in Gossamer

topped with Nars Turkish Delight

Kourtney Kardashian's Makeup

She prefers red lips more than corals and nudes.

She uses Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture in 13: Le Orange.

For an orange red lipstick, the best pic would be Mac Lady Danger.

Kendall doesn't wear much makeup, so I have no idea what she particularly likes.

She's naturally beautiful. Kylie is still young but she really loves to wear makeup.

She loves eyeliners.

I saw this picture and she got Stila Kajal Convertible eyeliner,

I bet it's in Onyx as her elder sister Kim prefers this one, but not the convertible one. According to Stylebistro she uses the Stila Smudge pot too,maybe for upper eyelids.

Kris Jenner's Makeup:

She loves smokey eyes and nude lips makeup.

According to their makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic,

he uses Mac Carbon for the Kardashian's smokey eyes.
Nyx Black eyeshadow is the perfect dupe for Carbon.

Aside from their collaboration with Nicole by OPI for their own nailpolish line, they swear by OPI Nail Polish in Lincoln Park After Dark. It's not black, it's a dark purple that exudes sexy goth.

 Kris'

Khloe's

Kim's

That is such a HUUUGEE AASSS engagement ring and I swear I'll do the same thing if I have it which is to flaunt it, but I would never want such ring bigger than my eyeball.

 It's either I'll clumsily lose the rock or I will accidentally scratch myself with it.

I guess by now you are aware why they are strongly influential among women and ladies, and very much appealing among men.  So high maintenance but definitely beautiful.

While I was having a Keeping Up with the Kardashians marathon in the office I tried to recreate one of Kim's look way back in 2007. It's the smokey eyes with long lashes

paired with pinky nude lips.

This is not a paid advertisement from Wet n' Wild, Revlon, Nyx, or any other cosmetic companies that are mentioned. It just happened that I have those since I looked for cheaper dupes. Feeling good and looking good does not necessarily mean using and buying expensive stuffs, there are cheaper alternatives that really does the trick, but of course if you're part of Big Mama Kris' empire and you're raking in billions of cash,  I'm sure you'll spend it thoughtlessly.

Beauty Breakdown: Bella Swan Wedding Makeup

I definitely agree if Edward and Bella's Wedding

will be called "Wedding of the Year"

more than Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries

who insanely got divorced after 72 days.

Although Breaking Dawn charaters are fictional,

 atleast their marriage means immortality.

I found the breakdown of the exact cosmetics

Stacey Panepito

used for Kristen Stewart.

  It's sad that this is what I got coz I'm really

lemming for her makeup on her vampire transformation.

Most of the cosmetics used were high end. sigh.

Skincare

In the morning, SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic and
SkinCeuticals Daily Moisture
were used to balance and moisturize the skin.
 At night, SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Masque
was used after Kristen’s makeup was removed.
To touch up, Dr. Hauschka Moisturizing Day Cream
 was dabbed onto Kristen’s forehead,
cheekbones and cheeks to refresh the makeup
and keep her skin glowing.
