Today's Make Up: That "Punk" Is "Toasted"

Hello Thursday all! I am back today! Did y'all miss me the last two days? :D LOL. Well, I am back today, only for a brief moment though because I gotta bounce in a few.
My poor baby cousin was admitted to the hospital yesterday with high fever and was belatedly diagnosed today with Kawasaki disease. Sigh... seeing him in this condition just breaks my heart. :( No child, EVER, should be going through this much pain and discomfort.
Well, here are the simple makeup on the face today. Bare faced with just concealer for the under eyes, neutral eyes with a pop of green and orange, coral lips.

Today's Make Up: The "V.I.Pink" In The "Country Woods"

Well guys... We made it to Friday, alive, or barely. :D Haha. How are y'all doing today?
A quick make up session earlier today before I ran some errands throughout the day. Finally back home for a bit before I leave again, giving me some time to post about today's make up. Again, not much going on today as I didn't put on much. My face needs to breathe for another day because tomorrow is another important dinner and a full face of makeup will be necessary. Buuuut, that is tomorrow.
Simple bare face, natural defined eyes and lilac lips is the way to go today.

Today's Make Up: "Toasted" "Brownie"

Tuesday greetings my lovely Winter ray of sunshine. How are y'all doing this what was supposed to be a cloudy, rainy day? I was actually hoping for that for a change, instead of this bright, sunny typical AZ day.
Annnnnyways, met my friend for lunch earlier today. She better believe I adore her cause I wouldn't set foot outside for a second, not in this humid. My regulars already knows how much I hate the humidity, it simply makes me want to tear my skin off. So yeah... :D
It was one of those half assed makeup day again. For the most part, I didn't really need much makeup today because my skin has been behaving very well. My skin fairing so well this Winter, I'd have to thank myself for being so diligent with the DIY masks.
So here are the eight products on the face today... Yes, just eight. Sometimes, less is definitely more. :P

Throwback Thursday: Current Favorite Blush: Pinks & Coral

Hi all and happy Thursday! Today's post will be a throwback of my favorite pink and coral blushes!! I hope y'all will enjoy. :)
Favorite Blush
I've noticed that I've recently used a lot of pink and coral blushes; by recent I mean the last month or month and a half. When it was the dead Winter's month, I was still mainly into berries and wine blushes. It's not even the fact that berries and wine shades were the trend, it was more so a feeling. The slightly darker shades seemed to match with the gloomy Winter weather. It makes sense right? Or am I just weird?...
It is no surprise that my current favorite blushes are pinks and corals. Today I will share with you nine of them, all drug store products. The most "expensive" blush out of the nine is, if I remember correctly, $7 or $8; the cheapest one is $1.99.

Today's Make Up: "Twinkle" "Oyster", Twinkle

Hi guys. We are now half way through the first Wednesday of 2015... Already. :/ There goes the time, flying by again. Almost too quickly.
But anyways, another day, another makeup mess, albeit the mess isn't even big enough to be a mess. But you get the drift. :P Had a few errands to run so kinda just threw a few products on the face.
I have neglected my Wet N Wild Singles for way too long. I own probably 5 or 6 Singles but as you can see, I hardly ever use them. That's my problem, I have way too many products but I tend to only use the ones I remember and would use that over and over again. Yet I continue to buy more... SMH at myself.

Manicure Monday: Christmas 2014

Happy Monday before Christmas everyone!! D-3 until the final countdown, but who's counting. Haha. I hope y'all had a great weekend! Did y'all get a chance to check out my skincare posts all weekend long? It's never too late, a warm mask for a chilly day, a DIY mud mask or even a simple almond scrub to cleanse the pores. Chem em out and pamper yourselves over the holiday break.
Speaking of Christmas literally being around the corner and given that today is Monday, today's manicure will be Christmas inspired! Many of the designs were done last year but I really adored em so I created them again this year. If you are interested in the Christmas 2013 manicure, please just click the link, provided for your convenience. :D
So let's get started! Below are the cutesy manicures for this year. Pick and choose your favorite and let me know which ones you will be trying out yourself or just simply love. :)

Today's Make Up: "Metropolitan Mauve" Meets "Olympian Blue"

Hello Thursday everyone!! Happy almost-weekend all! For many, weekend already started at the end of the work day today while for others, that will begin tomorrow. Either way, another weekend is underway!! Hooray!!!! :D
I come to you all with this post from the food court of a mall. I was... forced? Obligated? Begged. Yes, my little cousins begged me to take them to the mall for something and they've been about since, leaving me with my phone and tablet alone at the food court. Haha. It's okay, I'll work with what I have.
I was rudely awoken early this morning by some friends, demanding I go to breakfast with them. Waking me up is never a good idea, especially when I didn't get any sleep the night prior. But being a good friend, I braved the cold and got up. And guess what! Another lazy makeup day for me today. Haha. :P
The specialty for today is the contrast of the vibrant blue and a pink mauve on a bare canvas.

I swept Iced Latte all over my lids to brighten up my sleepy eyes. I lined my lower lash line with Olympian Blue for a pop of color because everything else was so plain.
I must say, this Twistable Intense Lip Color cannot compare to my favorite balm stains. But that aside, I do enjoy the pigmentation it provides my lips. I did apply a lip balm underneath, that is not something I am willing to gamble with. The application was smooth and glided on with ease. There were no weird smells that I can make out and it was very comfortable on my lips. It did started drying out maybe 3 hours after application but I was already expecting that.

Today's Make Up: Ambrosia

Hello all, we meet again on yet another Wednesday. How are you all doing? Well I am hoping. Doing pretty well on my end, just busy, which is good. Holiday shopping has officially begun for me!! What an exciting time of year don't you think so?? After all the presents are bought or made, time for the fun part, gettin' crafty with wrappings. LOL. I don't know about y'all, but I sure do enjoy wrapping gifts.
I love how the holiday decorations are up and music blaring everywhere I go. Starbucks, donut shops, other coffee shops and even fast food restaurants offering some sort of Peppermint drink. Ahhh, definitely favorite time of the year. :) Even though it is freezing cold, my heart is all warm and fuzzy. Haha. Wishing I have someone special to share these moments with; another year celebrating it alone... But it's okay. Happy thoughts, joyous thoughts. :D
Brother is officially done with this semester so we will spend much of our time together. Yay for sibling bonding time! Of course we started our day with lunch then started the shopping. Lunch is needed.
I was in yet another lazy mood today, surprise, surprise. LOL. The cold is the enemy and my bed is heaven. Warm bed of clouds win every time. Every. Time. I wake up when the alarm goes off but cannot bring myself to brave the cold so I lay there until it is way too late to even get ready. Haha... Hence the lazy makeup again. As a beauty blogger, this is a big no. no. :/ But yes, barely anything on the face or eyes and nude lips to go with it. Going for natural y'all.

I could not sleep last night so the dark circles under them eyes.. Nothing a few dab of concealer cannot fix. I had some instant noodle last night, leaving my face a bit swollen this morning. Fear not! Bronzer  and highlight to the rescue!! A little contour here and sculpting there, some highlighting here and there and viola!
On the eyes, I used Eyetini Cream Shadow all over my lids for a little color. Then I lined and tight lined my eyes with Perversion. Added a little pop of Champagne on my lower lash line before coating my lashes with mascara.
For my nude lips, I first applied Stainiac for that red tint in my inner lips before applying Forever Nude all over my lips as I would with any other lipstick.

Tuesday greetings y'all!! Hope you're all having a fine day. Wish I could say the same... :/ It's nothing bad really, I've just spent a majority of my day at Urgent Care. I had to take my cousin, she wasn't feeling too well and her parents are busy and had asked me to take her. I don't mind really, just wished I wasn't so ill prepared. Haha. I literally rushed out of the house in 3 minutes, not enough time to grab everything I needed. I would've probably forgot my head if it weren't attached to my body. :D
I was able to apply a few things to make myself look more awake. Because giiirl, I looked like the walking dead this morning. I would have definitely scared the living daylights out of someone. Haha.
Not even sure if this even qualifies as makeup but nonetheless, on the face today!

Besides moisturizer, there is absolutely nothing on my face today, not even concealer. Dun dun! No, my skin isn't at its best right now but I've learned to embrace my skin and appearance anyway it is in. Yes, normally I would use concealer to conceal certain pimples or discoloration but today was a serious emergency. That giant red pimple on my forehead? Not a problem.
I did however, invest some time on my brows. Since everything was going to be bare, I might as well make my brows full to attract the eyes away from certain areas. My brows are naturally thick so there was not much to do but fill in. I do, however, have even brows; my left brow is the problematic one. UGH! It takes forever to even it out with the right one.
On my eyes, also nothing much at all. I thinly lined my eyes with a liquid liner and carefully extended that out from my outer corner to make my eyes look bigger. Nothing too thick or bold because this is supposed to pass off as being natural. I also applied a pearly shadow on 2/3 of my lower lash line to give it the doe eye effect, further making it bigger. Then I curled my lashed and mascara; almost didn't have time for this step.
I applied a couple coats of Stainiac and then applied the Lip Butter on top. In two steps, I then have color to my lips and moisture that will last me forever.
Thank you for dropping by and thanks for reading. Y'all enjoy the rest of your day now. Please come back soon! :)

Today's Make Up: "Charmed" With A "Heart Of Gold"

Hello Saturday my lovelies!! Hope all is well. :D I hope you're all enjoying your weekend by far. I, myself am having one fattening and nonproductive day by far, which simply put, am having a fantastic Saturday! LOL.
I spent the majority of my noon/afternoon having dim sum with the fam. The food is so delicious I am beyond stuffed... :S Yet with the reminder of the food makes me wanna keep stuffing myself. Haha. The dilemma. I can't run today either because I am needless to say super behind on my work today. Nothing planned has even been touched yet and I guess the tree isn't gonna go up on it's own. After I post this, is definitely tree time!... After I make myself a nice cup of hot cocoa to warm my soul.
On the face today is light face makeup, bronzey-nude eyes and natural pink lips. Sometimes, naturally simple is more. :)

Lots of ELFs on the face today from tinted moisturizer to setting powder and even blush. I promise I didn't plan it ahead, it was a, pick and choose as we go. LOL. I didn't really need that much coverage on the face today so I opted for a tinted moisturizer instead. This ELF moisturizer held up just fine for the few hours that I did need it to stay on. The humidity is still lingering and the dim sum we were at was so crowded and stuff I thought my face was gonna melt off. Thank goodness it didn't. Tickled Pink is a very natural pink, perfect for fair skin as myself.
Went all bronze and gold on the eyes today. Going through my makeup drawers this morning, this quad caught my eyes; the gold and bronze seemed too beautiful to pass up. I'm not sure why I only have one of these quad but I need more! The formula is amazing! No fall outs and pigmented, my only slight problem with it is that it may be a little too dry. Besides that...
Creamy pink pouters today. I was actually complimented about my lips several times today. Shade is called Charmed by BH Cosmetics. This lipstick glided on with ease, so creamy and pigmented. It did not last me through the meal but I did not expect it to. This lipstick did not claim to be long wearing or or long lasting, it is a Creme Luxe and creamy twas.
Alllllrighty, I am off to erect my holiday tree. This will not take all day... LOL. I truly do enjoy this time of year though, it makes my heart all warm and tingly even though it is freaken cold out.
Have a great weekend y'all and enjoy the rest of your Saturday. Thanks you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please come back soon. :)

Today's Make Up: Candy Rush

Happy Thursday y'all!! Can you believe it's been one whole week since Thanksgiving already?! Unbelievable. Christmas is exactly 3 weeks away... 3! :/ Let's see just how quickly that will sneak up on us even though the majority of us are counting down the days. LOL.
So I had some free time today, I decided to put it to good use and went out to Target, Walmart, Toys R Us, etc. to browse. I didn't pick up anything today though, just browsed to get an idea. Man... the toys sections seem to expand every year. When I was little, I did not remember there was this many toys. Kids nowadays are so lucky, BUT, my generation had some of the most awesome toys. Haha. Compensation.
The sun was well hidden today because rain finally visited Arizona! It literally rained ALL day long... From the moment I woke up at 4:45 A.M. to now, still pouring outside. It is so beautiful. I wish it will stay a few days longer.
Makeup of the day includes, gold eyes and pink liiiiiipssssssss. It had to be gold eyes because I am testing out a new product. :P

The level of humidity is UNREAL. My gosh... Amazing what rain can do. So due to the humidity level, I did not apply any face products with the exception of a little concealer. I have a few acne still in the process of fading away so a few dab of concealer here and there. Besides that, nothing more other than my moisturizer and mist.
Mentioned above, I am testing out the Be A Bombshell Eye Base. I received this in my November iPsy bag....which I did not do a post on yet. Oh no! But yeah, it is an Eye Base so I wore it without any primer. I set that with loose gold shadows, today I used ELF Long-Lasting Lustrous Eyeshadow. Then I just lined my eyes with liquid liner and and mascara as usual.
On the lips today is Candy Rush, a lip color I bought ages ago and never got around to trying out. LOL. I love how smooth it applied. No weird smells, color pigmentation was average but it did dry out my lips quickly though. I had to wipe it off, reapply lip balm and reapply the lip color while I was out.
Thank you for dropping by and thanks for reading. Please come back soon! :)

Today's Make Up: "Pink Peony" And A "Rose"

It's Wednesday guys!! D-1 until Thanksgiving!!!! Can you tell I am ecstatic?! Haha. I hope you're all enjoying your last day of work and/or school before the four day weekend. It is a necessary break if you ask me. :P

Much to my dissatisfaction, I was out doing last minute shopping for tomorrow's.. er.. Friday's dinner. Long story short, because all the shops and stores decided to one up each other and open earlier and earlier and the deals are too sweet to pass up on, we as a family decided to move 'Thanksgiving' dinner from tomorrow to Friday. So all of tomorrow and possibly Friday morning will be dedicated to shopping. Fun, fun!!

But anyways, the last minute shopping. I am a very punctual person; time is important to me. For me, arriving 15 minutes early is late. So if it were up to me, I will not wait until today to go out and make the final purchases. Unfortunately that is not up to me because my mom and aunts are the chiefs this year so they make the list, I am just the errand runner. The stores were PACKED! The streets were JAMMED. I was not in a good mood at all. It took me like and hour and 15 minutes to get to somewhere that it would normally take 20 minutes. It's pretty ridiculous. 

Today's makeup, pink cheeks with matching pink lips and a pop of green on the eyes for fun. ;)

LIPS

Went for the luminous bare faced look again today. Haha. What's new? I feel like since I am a beauty blogger, I should be more experimental with my makeup but I honestly love this face makeup so much. It's so easy and simple to do yet makes me look very youthful. Adding to the mix are rosy cheeks. This Physicians Formula blush itself has a glow to it so it'll give my cheeks a glow along with providing the rosiness. I opted for a matte highlight to keep everything from glowing and radiating; there's a fine line between glowing and looking like a disco ball. LOL.

To pair with my bare faced, I went for clean neutral eyes. I didn't even sport my usual cat eyes because I wanted my cheeks and lips to be the focal point today. Since rose pink and green goes well together, I decided to add a hint of green to my lower lash line. Not too much, just a bit of color to keep things interesting.

The pink lips I kept talking about is a shade called Pink Peony. I picked this up in the clearance section at Target not too long ago and haven't really worn it much since, maybe three or four times at most. It's like a tinted lip balm with minimal shine to it. I fairly enjoy wearing it. It isn't tacky nor is it sticky on my lips, No special scent either. It does stain a little so do expect it to be a bit darker after it sets than when first applied it.

Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please come back soon! But do take the time to spend it with family and create ever lasting memories. Enjoy your holiday weekend y'all!! :)

Today's Make Up: I Want Candy!

Hiiiiiiiii guuuuys!! D-2 until Thanksgiving and I am in hyper mode running my butt off to make way for the food coma that's to come. :D

The roads and stores were packed today... already! I cannot imagine how it will be tomorrow, yet tomorrow, I'll have to make a final trip to the store to buy what's left on the list that is yet to be composed by my mom and aunt. :/ I will have a FANTASTIC time tomorrow trying to navigate my way through the stores and try not to curse too much while driving. Haha.

I took another trip to the airport today to pick up the last of the family friends that will be joining us for Thanksgiving this year. While we were out anyways, we decided to finish up the home shopping for their house. I usually don't like to stereotype, but I get why they say that Canadians are unnecessarily well mannered and polite. LOL. These guys might just be the most well mannered men I have ever seen in my life. 

Annnnnyways, on the face today are the semi-mess below. TOM is currently visiting so my face is exploding with zits... those nasty, disgusting unwanted zits. So I am trying to keep my face makeup as light as possible.

Today's Make Up: Fairytale

Happy, happy, happy Saturday everyone! How are y'all doing this fine Saturday? I am doing well, besides the fact that my fingers might be a little stiff and frozen. Haha. My poor phalanges are taking the abuse whilst the rest of me are bundled up. Maybe it's just me, but my hands and feet are usually the first body parts to be cold, and the last to be warmed up. It takes forever to warm them up, which is frustrating. Cold feet is no laughing matter. LOL. 

Although it is Saturday, no family gathering today. We are saving that for next week. As for this week, we all have our own ish to do. For me, I have to take those new Arizona residents around so they can pick up things for for their house to make it homely. I usually like to spend my weekend lounging around being lazy but it is quite nice to be productive on the weekend. Let's not make it a habit though. :P

The mess below are products on the face today. My makeup nowadays are very similar day to day. I've been too lazy to be experimental... I know that's bad to say. I did however, messed around with the eye makeup today using a palette that has not seen light since a while ago. Haha.

Benefit Erase Paste in Medium
Covergirl + Olay Concealer Balm in Fair

LIPS
the Balm Stainiac in Beauty Queen
Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain in Sweet Pink

Again with the luminous bare face. Ugh!! It is too easy to wear that I keep going back to it. It looks so freaken naturally beautiful. I must say, this L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Infusing primer is perfect for this exact look. It gives off the most subtle glow without making me look too oily or too shiny. I am still in a very berry mood and did not hesitate to show that on my cheeks.

I did a simple smoky with this Covergirl palette. These new palettes cannot even compare to the old ones Covergirl used to have. You know those blue package ones? Even though they claimed that the formula didn't change, I find that hard to believe. The old ones applied like butter whereas the new ones are more dry and sometimes flaky. I also found this new palette less pigmented than the old ones. And no, this isn't the first time I used this palette... There's a reason why I haven't used it when I have so many other options to choose from. LOL.

My very berry mood did not extend to my lips today as I wanted pink lips instead. After applying a lip stain as a base, I applied a muted pink balm stain to the pouters. Love the color combination.

I hope all of you are having a great weekend by far. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please come back soon! :)

Today's Make Up: "Little Miss Thing" Consumed By "Wanderlust" In Search Of A "Sparkling Romance"

Happy Thursday everyone! Hope you're all having a delightful day. I spent the majority of the day out, running errands with the family friends that recently moved from Canada. Being stuck at a bunch of government places like the DMV all day is NOT fun... :/ But we did have quite a fun lunch. I'm glad I have two more people around my age to be friends with around here.

One week from today will be Thanksgiving. So close yet so far. I gotta run, run, run to prepare for the weight gain next week. Haha. It'll be definitely worth it with all the Thanksgiving-Asian fusion food. Ugh.. mouth is watering just thinking about it already. 
Various shades of plums and berries on the face today. I seriously cannot get over how beautiful plums and berries are in these months. Obsessed!
