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: Green, Green, Greeeeen

Happy St. Patrick's Day all!! Did y'all remember to get your green on? Hopefully you did or you've probably been pinched all day.

Soooo kinda off topic but this is like day 3 since I've come down with the stomach flu, NOT FUN! So basically I sported green eyes to visit the various doctors today. LOL. I'm glad the nurses appreciated my spirit.

I'll just list off the products I used today and keep it short. Having TOM visit along with the tummy flu is NOT the least bit fun.. :( I just wanna lay flat on my tummy all day and binge on Netflix. Can't I??? :'(

Today's Make Up: "Eye on Neutral" for the "Beauty Queen"

Hello, hello Saturday my lovely readers! Hope you are all having a fantastic weekend by far. It is always the same with me, always be busy, busy with something. This week, we have an extravagant birth party for my baby cousin, she turns two! I'm not sure if I should look forward to it or not, cause ya know, the terrible twos stage. *shiver*

Her mom, my aunt even flew back from Nebraska for the event. So yeah, it will be huge. As is with all Asian events, we do things ourselves. LOL. All the women gather and lend a helping hand. I was sucked into it, obviously. So yes, this is my life story for today.

On the bright side though, there are abundant amount of food just waiting to be devoured later. It is seriously so hard to diet being apart of this family.. Controlling oneself is already a challenge around here. Haha.

But yeah, full face of makeup for today. Something comfortable and low maintenance, something like a BB Cream, nude eyes and rosy, neutral lips.

Today's Make Up: "Lace" In "Anguilla"

It's Saturday guys, it's Saturday! What a glorious Saturday... What a busy day. :/ Only reason why I'm so excited is because it is the weekend, besides that, I'm so busy today. Gaaaaaaaaaaaawd. I cannot wait for dinner tonight. Me so hungry and haven't even had the time to eat yet.

Face is made today, completely made, the whole nine yards with foundation and blush and all that good stuff. I must say... I miss my hour long therapeutic makeup sessions a lot. I also miss the feeling of pampering myself  and dolling up.

Alrighty, so I woke up to gloomy, cloud weather today. Apparently the forecast predicted that Arizona, well, my area at least, will receive some rain today, tomorrow and Monday. Hmm, we shall see. Gimme all you've got rain! So why am I suddenly talking about the weather? Well, if you are a regular, you'll realize that I kinda base my makeup for the day on the weather. Dreary weathers like today calls for bright pick me uppers. The picker uppers in today's makeup mess are on my cheek and eyes. Babydoll pink cheeks, paired with sweet pink lips and subtle pop of colors on the eyes.

Today's Make Up: A "Plum Frost" "D-Vinely Chilled"

Hi, hi, hiiiii all. What's good this Thursday y'all? :P

I actually planned a different post for today but before I even got started, my uncle gave me a call asking me to pick up my little cousin from school. After that, I spent nearly the rest of my afternoon at the doctors and now, I'm just watching him. Poor thing. :(

So yeah, another day, another made up face. Luckily, I had some time this morning for makeup so instead of my usual go-to makeup I ranted about yesterday, I went for something a tad fancier. Well, not fancy, fancy but it is definitely something out of the norm.

If you are a regular, you've probably noticed that I do not wear a whole lot of dark and bold makeup, whether it's eyeshadow or lipstick. On my skin tone, dark colors are just too much, I end up looking like a vampire of some sort. But sometimes, I wake up, wanting to be a vampire. Mwahaha. Today, is one of those days.

Mwahaha, dark vampy lips to match my plum eyes, on a bare face.

Today's Make Up: Current Go-To Make Up

Wednesday greetings my beautiful readers. :) I hope you are all doing well this Hump Day; just two more days guys... Two. More. Days. Can y'all tell I'm anticipating for the weekend? Haha. Just a bit. :P

Ran some quick errands today but didn't have much time to get ready in the AM... Okay.. not really, I lied. Haha. I had plenty of time, I woke up fairly early... I just couldn't get out of bed. LOL. When i finally did drag myself out of bed, I only had less than half an hour to get ready before going to pick up my aunt.

Desperate times calls for desperate measures! Kinda... This has been my go-to makeup as of late. On days where I just need to throw something on to look presentable or limit on time or both like today, this is the look I go for. Nothing too fancy but definitely very presentable and natural.

Manicure Monday: Haze of Love

Monday greetings my loves! I hope you all had a great weekend. I had a very productive, yet awesome weekend so I can't complain really. :P

Who watched the Superbowl yesterday?? Maaaaan, wasn't that halftime show just freaken AMAZING?! Katy Perry was just perfect... Her makeup, her outfits, those shoes,  her stages, those backup dancer sharks. Hahaha, everything was awesome! Oh, and also good game too.

Back to business, today is Monday, also known as the day I switch up my nails. Welcome to another Manicure Monday post!! :D This week, I had a veeeeeeeery special someone help me pick out the shade. Said person picked "maroon" and maroon it shall be. Now, I am bad with colors but does maroon and the current color of the year, marsala kinda looks the same? Kinda? Maybe...?

 You be the judge. I'd say this is close enough and could be passed as being the color of the year manicure. LOL.

Today's Make Up: Casual, Rainy Friday

Happy end of the week everyone! I hope that your Friday has been as awesome as mine. I was up since 4:30 this morning and was out in the cold, rainy streets to rescue my cousins from their car troubles. Fun... what an awesome way to start off the weekend. Haha. But hey, it has been raining ALL day, such PERFECT cuddle weather. ;)

Super, super quick post today to share with y'all what I have on the face. Then, I gotta run to the family dinner. Ugh, so much to do in so little time.

Today's Make Up: "Champagne" at the "Techno"

Annnnnnd it is yet another Saturday! How are my lovely readers doing on this fine weekend day?

A quick makeup post today of everything I have on the face. Another busy, busy day in this household. So makeup was a mixture of lazy and a little bit of glaaaaaamorous. :D

Today's Make Up: The "Ethereal" "Babydoll"

Friday greetings and happy weekend all! The loooong awaited weekend; anyone here as relieved as I am? Everyone? Good. :D

It has been a while but here is finally another Today's Makeup mess. As y'all may know, I have been baby sitting my baby cousin the past two weeks and haven't been going anywhere. I had some errands to run today so I had to take my baby sitting on the go, baby came alone. Lemme tell ya, major, major, maaaaajor props to the mothers of young children that are still capable of going shopping. Man was it hard work, and I even had my brother with me.

Annnnyways, below is the complete list of everything on ma face today. Enjoy!!

Today's Make Up: Back to "Basics"

Saturday greetings all! I hope you're all enjoying your Saturday as much as I am. Been up since early and it has been a "productive" day.... So I'd like to think. Haha.

My Aunt flew back from Nebraska for the short weekend so we just had to make time for her before she left again. Started off the morning, like a true Asian, by going to dim sum. Although I am still super, duper full, we are already planning dinner. We are also gonna go all out with dinner, Korean BBQ, hot pot to name a few. There is much to do before dinner and bro, cousins and I are tasked to go grocery shopping. Thaaaaaank goodness because I'd much rather be out basking int he Winter sun than cooped up in the kitchen with my Mom and the aunts.

It has truly been a long while, but it feels so good to have makeup on again. I sure miss this feeling; it's just magnificent. Hence why I did not skimp out and half assed. :P I went all out with the makeup. Makeup mess down below, products I used on my face today.

Enjoy!! :)

Today's Make Up: The "Peacock" of "Bora Bora"

It's weekend everyone, it is weekend!! Hi guys! And how are you all doin' ?

Another breezy yet warm day here in the AZ, which I spent out and about. I must say, I dreaded less being out today then yesterday, maybe the fact that the sun was out and warming things up had something to do with it, maybe. Like I said, I am a true Arizonan girl, I like my sun. 8-)

Able to get some sleep last night, I woke up more of less refreshed this morning. I was in the mood to do a full face of makeup today. Yes, less is more and natural beauty is always better but sometimes, sometimes you just gotta glamafy yourself! And that sometimes is today. I felt like spending an hour to myself just applying makeup, that's all; just me, myself and I, alone in my makeup room.

 

I used an eyeshadow quad called Bora Bora from Be A Bombshell. I did a whole entire blog entry in details and swatches a while ago, click here if you are interested. :P

Today's Make Up: Lady And The Vamp

Hello my adventurous blog readers!! How are you all doing this firs Thursday of 2015?

I could be doing better. Would rather be at home, Netflixing it on such a breezy day, but nooooo, instead, I am out chilling at several government offices since morning. LOL. Yeah... my day was THAT bad. Haha. DMV AND Social Security office? Gosh... :/

I threw on some makeup today, with everything working around vampy lips. It just HAD to be vampy lips. No details today because I literally JUST got home. But with these products, I guess it is pretty self explanatory.

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.

Today's Make Up: "Strawberry Milk" Flavored "Cotton Candy"

Hello Friday everyone!!!! How are you all doing?? Are we all recovered from the hectic Christmas day? LOL.

I am very blessed to have family that totally can read my mind. Haha. We all went out to dim sum this morning. Never gonna complain about having dim sum, especially with these crazy people I call family. :P Love them to bits and pieces... Even though they are so loud. Typical Asians.

After dim sum, we actually went post Christmas shopping and just wandered everywhere really. No matter doing what, I just love spending time with them. There seriously needs to be more holidays when everyone is off and can get together. Not enough, ever.

The makeup mess today includes a few old faves and some new products. I'll use this (not so) new mascara and let y'all know how it works on my thick and heavy lashes.

Today's Make Up: Ladyfingers

Heeeeeeeello my special Winter snowflakes. :) How is everyone doing? D-2 until Christmas and tomorrow is Christmas Eve. I know some are still working up until tomorrow but do not fret! It'll be just until midday tomorrow and everyone can be home to enjoy the break. Sooooounds good to me.

Alrightio, so two more days until Christmas but although the present shopping is done and finished, there's still some last minute grocery shopping at the request of my Mommy and aunts. Them and there last minute planning. :/ I am trying to get all shoppings done and over with today and TRY not to leave the house at all tomorrow. I can already see the last minute shoppers and the hectic crowded stores. Ugh... shivers.

I wandered the streets today, drifted from store to store with the bro. We had lunch and stuffed our faces throughout the trip, all good times. Haha. He actually complimented me on my makeup today, which is a definite first. He isn't the type of guy who likes thick makeup and false lashes and bold lips, natural is better in his eyes. So I was quite surprised this morning when he told me he liked my makeup. Actually, more shocked than surprised because I half-assed today's makeup and just did whateva. :D Best kind of makeup these is. LOL.

Noooothing on the face besides bronzer to contour. Please do keep in mind that whenever I say I have nothing on my face, I will always have on some sort of moisturizer, usually my Olay Complete for Oily Skin.

I created a cat eye with my brown liquid liner. Then I used a detailed brush and applied Luxury Reborn to my lower lash line and crease. I then took Pixie to my inner corner of the lower lash line, lining my waterline in Nude. I used Perversion to tight line my upper lash line,  and at the outer corner of my lower lash line. I used a fluffy brush to blend out the eyeliner for a softer look. Then curl and mascara using this new Lash Sensational. I am really, really impressed with this mascara by far. I cannot say much about it because this is my first use. But a very great first impression. It was able to lift my heavy, thick lashes.

For the effortless lips, I first applied a red tint then topped with Ladyfingers for that reddish-berry pout.

As always, y'all enjoy the res of your night now. Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please come back soon!! :)

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.

Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Enjoy the rest of your day. Please come back soon! :)

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.

Thank you for visiting 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. :)
