Throwback: Makeup Looks, Hair, Nails and Accesories

Hello there!! I'm not sure if it's going to be my last post for this year, my egg has been hatched! I've been so idle and lazy for this year, I miss blogging, applying makeups, and so on. For 2014 my brain's full of plans. For my new family, career and business. If I've been too lazy and idle I'll be extremely productive next year, it should be a resolution!!!!!

I'll do something better and extravagant for my online shop.I feel so guilty for being so happy go lucky, I'll do something special and exciting.


New Palette Sticker might be like this:


I'm so inspired by how Doe Deere made an empire out of Limecrime, Amy Doan has Sugarpill Cosmetics, Kathy Cervantes has Bitch-slap! Cosmetics and how Kat Von D has officially launched her own makeup line with Sephora.

Today's blog will be just about the throwbacks and flashbacks of my old and some were recent looks that I have and haven't posted. I want to share it again coz as I reviewed the past looks I've received so many questions about some makeup techniques or what lippie, nailpolish, eyeshadow, hair dye or foundation brands I used. Most of them were from my personal Facebook account. It makes me happy knowing that there were women, young girls and lady boys who admire my amateur talent in makeup application.I've also helped a lot of my old college and highschool friends and co-workers and they're soooo addicted to makeup now, sometimes I envy them coz they now found the right shade of eyeshadows, powders or lipsticks that really go or blend well for their complexion.

FOTD using Urban Decay Naked 1



Urban Decay Naked 1: Cult's fave and a holy grail. For easy mix and match of smokey brown eyes, you really can't go wrong with this palette. I couldn't remember the event/ocassion and the other makeups I used.

Eyes:
I used Virgin below the brow bone, Naked for the whole crease,
half baked for the inner eye area, Smog for the inner half crease and  Dark Horse mixed
with Creep for the outer V.

Maybelline Hypershine Diamonds gloss in Rose Carats

For my earrings I'm wearing Pearl Kiss Earrings by Betsey Johnson

Glowing Nudes and Bronze

This has been my favorite look of all time. I love my haircut, haircolor, how I've perfectly done my brows, my lipcolor and the natural glow on my face. I couldn't do it again, I don't know why. It took me a long time while doing this look, I was waiting for my friends to pick
me up for our roadtrip, I had too much time and I've even contoured my nose.This has been the perfect look I've ever done, and I'll try to figure it out and do this look again. 


It's inspired by Kim Kardashian way back 2007.  I tried to contour my face
and bronzed out the pale side of me. I really want to get a good tan.

Kiwi Nails


Had coffee with my bestfriends at Tagaytay City. Cool weather means cool nails.
I'm using China Glaze Nail Polish in Kiwi Coolada.

Pink Lips at Sentosa
Everybody loves this pink lippie. It looks good on anyone,
and I'm wearing it in most of my pictures, though it wasn't really my holy grail.
I remember I went to an amusement park wearing this lippie and the girls
were talking about my lips in the washroom.
I brought it with me in Singapore and I shared it with my friends.
Couldn't remember the rest of my face again, but for lips
it's Mac Lipstick in Pink Nouveau.

Red Lips at Sentosa


I went back to Sentosa in Singapore and this time this lippie has turned every heads of
Singaporean Men, not because I'm pretty enough to cause a 360 degree head turn, but maybe my lips are too bright and shocking, even the female species in Philippines and SG were giving me a second look. It;s my HG red lippie, Mac's Russian Red. Red Nails were from Etude House.


I ordered 3 Nyx Lipliners online and it should be in pink, tangerine and purple. Unfortunately the available colors were all in shades of pink. I still bought it and gave it to my 2 pretty friends. The lipliner that I used as a lipstick is Nyx Hot Pink.

I'll be collecting more of my makeup looks for next year, for my hair I'll no longer dye it, I'm planning to be a black headed girl, so my husband and I will be twins. Hahaha. :D

The Cullens Inspired Look and some reviews about Breaking Dawn Part 1



I'm not a Twihard and to tell you honestly I used to think it sucks.
While my friends were busy talking and swooning about Edward Cullen,
 I was too busy googling all day and listening to my beloved Korean pop stars.
I didn't get into the hype easily coz first of all, I don't read books,
and when I saw the movie, I didn't like it.
 It looks so low quality and experimental.

The Twilight movie itself,
which is first directed by Catherine Hardwicke,
is obviously low budget, more of like an indie film. 
The wardrobes were not stylish, makeup sucks (not blended well)
and it's more of like HAPPY FOUNDATION day to the Cullens.

It's really sad coz when I tried to read the book
I realized that it's really awesome but the movie just killed it.
When they changed the director of New Moon to Bill Condon,
the movie started to look better.
For the movie New Moon,
of course the story from the first movie Twilight's better,
but for the effects, makeups and styling I give props to New Moon.


I started to like the saga after watching Eclipse.
The effects and casts were amazing.


It's Boo Boo Stewart's first appearance too!
He plays as Seth Clearwater.


If some of you don't know,
he is of Japanese,
Chinese and Korean descent
from his mother’s side,
and Russian, Scottish and Native American
from his father's side.


KORRREEAAAN Blooood..

Breaking Dawn Part 1 hands down is such a good movie.
Most of the scenes are exactly what I pictured and imagined,
especially Island Esme and swimming at the moonlight scene.


Also, it's the only book that I read from cover to cover.
I read a few pages from Twilight and maybe two pages from New Moon.
The movie itself is really good.
The story is really grown up,
and of course it's the wedding scene
that drove every girls and women frenzy!!
That's the only reason why I'm so excited to see it too.


Every woman's dream is to get married,
and have a spectacular wedding.
First few seconds of the movie is like this.

What are my expectations from the wedding scene?
Kinda like the wedding that I wanted for myself.
A simple but dark, meadow or forest wedding.
Crimson colored roses are everywhere.


 In the movie there are two wedding scenes.
One is a nightmare and one is the real thing.

I prefer the nightmare.
That's the hardcore vampire wedding that I was really expecting.


 Also, I don't like Bella Swan's hair on the real wedding scene.



and doesn't she looked
too haggard and sleepless?
According to the book she looks really pretty
and not even a single hair is out of place.
Hell yeah in the movie her hair's a mess.
The movie is really moving.
You'll really appreciate the sanctity of marriage,
and how important to marry the right person.
It will make you feel how important it is to love and be loved,
and the nerve wracking feeling of your first night together.
yeah he broke the bed.

So people, please marry the right person.
That fantastic whirlwhind feeling is rare.
My favorite soundtrack called
"Flightless Bird / Iron and Wine"
also played when they were exhanging vows
 and it gave me goosebumps. 



Bella's gown looks simple in front,
but it screams
party at the back..

Wedding Dress from Carolina Herrera

 The birthing scene is really scary.
When Bella turned into a bony creature
it was scary as shit!!!!
She even broke her spine!
I knew it will happen but not hardcore!
It's really freaky!!
She didn't even close her eyes.. oh lordy..




To feel the vampire vibes going on as it is expected
that Bella Swan will open her eyes like an avatar and
will turn into a vampire,


I tried to do a Cullen Inspired look before seeing the movie.


Of course I need to see the movie with my boyfriend, and I invited my cousins as well.
We really did enjoy the last full show at the nearest mall. Too bad everyone's busy, we could've seen it in a better mall.

I really love the makeups used on her!!!
Still trying my best to figure out
which eyeshadow and lippie shades
will turn out to be like this.

According to the movie Vampires Suck,
it's now the era of vampires.




  
Everything dark, gothic, pale, bloody and freaky are in.
Werevolves, crimes, witches, that's the trend nowadays.



I personally like this concept,
since black is my favorite color of all time.
I remember back in the day
when I used to match
my black eyeshadow
with my plum lipstick.



If there's one vampire series that I particularly like,
it's Vampire Diaries.
Ian Somerhalder is one hot Vampire.
In my honest opinion,
Vampire Diaries is more mature.
Twilight's more on teen romance.
I'm not a teenager anymore so
I prefer mature storylines.


I just hope Harry Potter fans should
stop feeling bitter
about Twihards especially on Tumblr.
Both movies and books were good.

Actually,
Harry Potter is very much appreciated by elementary students
and Twilight Saga are for highschool students.

Both were good but I think bashing online must stop.



Too bad we have to wait for a year for the second part.
I already knew what will happend for part 2.
Since the wedding and honeymoon's over
I'm not excited anymore.


Trivia: The baby used in the movie is Charlie Swan's real son.
Yup, it's a baby boy ^_^
