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.

LIPS
NYC City Proof Twistable Intense Lip Color in Metropolitan Mauve

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: "Eternal Sunshine" With An "Iced Latte"

Hello, hello there my sweet apricots. And just how are you all doing on this gorgeous Saturday? :P Hope you're all enjoying your weekends well.

I type this with a headache pounding at my head... Advil isn't even helping today. Mehh.. But anywho, cannot let a simple, err, not-very-simple headache get me down. Family gathering today and dinner in a bit at the buffet. Sooo ready to kill the buffet again. Sushi bar, here I come, ice cream bar, wait for me!

It's been a good while since I've used these L'Oreal eyeshadows. Iced Latte is such a great highlight shade while Eternal Sunshine is a great shade for all over the lids. The eyeshadows are so pigmented and apply like butter. I have no problems with fall outs or flakiness. Besides these two shades, I also own two more shades, a bronze and a plum... forgot their names but I realized I wanted another shade called Amber Rush. I've heard many people rave about how awesome the shade is as both a stand alone and when paired with another shadow.

On the lips is just another pretty shade of pink from my Lip Butter collection. I am sure this will and can last me the entire night until dinner is over, which is when I will wipe off the old and reapply with a new coat.

Makeup on, check. Hunger, check. Dinner time? Almost there!! We're leaving though so that's it for today's post. I hope you're all enjoying yourselves as well. Have a terrific weekend you guys! Have fun and stay safe.
