"old Hollywood glamour"-ish

i went for a neutral look today. i initially tried silver+black smokey eye a try but i was in a hurry to blend that i messed it up big time haha. i went for an easier to finish look so here you go.




*pardon the last two poses, i was making a call while camwhoring. talk about multitasking haha. btw if you're wondering what am wearing on my nails, it's OPI Flashbulb Fuschia.

eyes:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance (TFSI)
MAC Femme Fi - all over lid until browbone
Maybelline Eyestudio Creamy e/l - lashline
Laura Mercier eyeliner - waterline
Majolica Majorca Lash Gorgeous Wing - lashes
L'Oreal Telescopic - brows

face:
L'Egere BB cream
Joppa Medium Light #3
Aromaleigh URFP Peaches and Cream
MAC Nuance (cheeks)
MAC lip conditioner (lips)
MAC Slimshine High 90's (lips)

what i like about this look is that it sort of reminds me of old Hollywood glamour - defined eyes with the entire lid highlighted (with highlight color, literally) and prominent lips. i opted to go with orangey lips rather than red (as with the true old Hollywood glamour makeup) because i didn't want to look seducing at work haha. so you could say i sort of mixed that with a little bit of rebel attitude (which is so the 1990's!)

i know i mentioned MAC All Ages, All Races, All Sexes collection yesterday and i called up MAC Isetan to ask if it's launched. the SA told me it's coming next month! i actually want the products now but hey, if it can wait for my next paycheck then better. :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. With flash: W
