i missed you piggie!

i hope you gals aren't tired of blue eyes yet, 'cause i did a bright one for Thiamere.




eyes:
MAC Soft Ochre
Aromaleigh Elemental Lustre Infidel - inner lid
MAC Blue p/g - outer lid
MAC Femme Fi - highlight
MAC Dark Soul p/g - lashline
Laura Mercier eyeliner - waterline
Majolica Majorca Lash Enamel Glamour Neo - lashes
L'Oreal Telescopic - brows

face:
L'Egere BB cream
Joppa Medium Light #3
Aromaleigh URFP Peaches and Cream
MAC Stark Naked (cheeks)
MAC lip conditioner (lips)
MAC Brave New Bronze (lips)

i suppose it could still be brighter, like electric blue lighter as opposed to glittery light blue, but i did a quick color matching of the colors after i got off the shower. you see, i usually plan colors i will wear the night before lol. the colors are a bit similar too, i should have piled on more of Blue but i ran out of time so it looked like one color after blending lol. don't follow suit ladies! blend carefully, don't be like MereMakeupManiac haha. speaking of this blue shade, i must remember to get more Aromaleigh eye makeup shades. they are so damn hot! they are very pigmented, glide on like a dream, have superb vibrancy and color choices!

anyhow, doing this FOTD reminded me why i had a love affair with pigments before. i think it was the foiling part that gets to me -- it takes longer than applying regular eyeshadow. but now i know i must revive this "relationship", hehe. i heart my piggie color selection! since i scrapped my old blog, i know i owe you gals swatches of what i have so watch out for that. also, i haven't really used Shu Uemura Depsea Water Facial Mist (in Mint) for several months now. i bought it last year at DFS Manila for setting makeup but it kinda stings - maybe because it's sea water? luckily, i found another use for it -- piggie sealant. it's been almost 6 hours since i applied my eye makeup but it's holding up really well, so i guess am impressed. i know it's a bit pricey to use as a sealant but hey, better use for something than rot in the back of my dresser right? :)

i also got to use my MAC 242 after it resting for quite some time now (read: ages!) in my brush stash. my MAC 239 doesn't function as well with pigments (it works great with my regular eyeshadows) so am glad it "got to work" again hehe.

tomorrow, i think i'll do a red/purple or neutral look. hmn, gotta ponder over it after dinner. :D btw, i saw an article about MAC All Ages, All Races, All Sexes collection in Style magazine. i hope that means they're already launched here! if they are, must go get my wants. :D

i got BELOfied!

i went back to Manila around late second week of July to get my 3rd ESWL . but before that, i went to Belo at The Residences @ Greenbelt with my youngest sister to get a facial and advice on how to improve our skin. i've never had facial EVER before so i didn't know what to expect. when we arrived, the ladies at the reception greeted us promptly and asked our names to know our appointment. the ambiance of the clinic is very serene, inviting and pleasant. immediately after getting in, i inhaled this clean, jasmine(?) aroma - uhm, very soothing. one of the ladies at the reception received us, then ushered us into available seats and shortly thereafter were offered drinks then asked to fill up a form (since it's our first time there). after a little while, we were assisted to our respective treatment rooms for the facial. my facialist that day was Matet. she was pretty (her skin was radiant!), professional and very accomodating with my queries. she also made me feel at

Belo (Acne) Oil Control Kit review

Image
*post changed on 9th January 2012: i've only noticed that i actually wrote "Belo ACNE Control Kit" when i got several comments on this post. it should be "Belo OIL Control Kit". i'm not sure if that stirred some confusion or if there is an acne kit per se but just to clarify, that the set i got is BELO OIL CONTROL KIT. so sorry for the confusion previously! previously, i've shared with you that i've tried Belo Acne  Oil Control Kit when i went for my very first facial and at the well-renowned Belo medical clinic (went at their Greenbelt branch). after finishing the entire line, i'd like to share my thoughts and experience. first, to refresh your memory of what the kit includes: i was advised with the following regimen: Morning: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Sunblock Gel Evening: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Daily Peel Solution on the Glycolic Soap: - i've never us

Terrific hairday at Affascinante Salon

Image
I recently went back to Manila for vacation since my kids had a one week school holiday and I had to see my Uro for my followup checkup (have you heard, am stone-free already - thank GOD!!!). One of the plans that materialized during that trip is having my daughter's hair rebonded - for the first time - and getting my hair colored since my regrow is showing already. I went straight to my trusted stylist, Wheng of Affascinante Salon. My daughter before rebonding: My daughter after rebonding: Huge difference right? My daughter can't hide her excitement. She now appreciates beauty a li'l more - she hates putting on makeup because it takes a lot effort she says. Ah, we're total opposites hehe. Of course, it's the mother's turn next! I didn't have a before picture though I took after shots in different lighting. Btw, i asked Wheng to color my hair reddish brown. Also, in case you're wondering she used Framesi coloring products.
