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: Sea Sprite

Hello everyone! Hope you're all doing well this terrific Tuesday. Yeah.. Can you believe that? We're three days from the weekend, but don't blink or it will surely pop up out of no where. It's like the older you get, the faster time seems to go by. I remember when I was in elementary school, a day could NOT drag by any slower. Tsk tsk...

Arizona has a 60% chance of rain today, and not just rain but thunderstorm with high winds and all that good stuff. At the moment though, no more rain, just very, very cloudy skies, dark clouds and very humid. I really shouldn't go anywhere today but I dreamt of my Grandma last night. Maybe she's lonely out there by herself... So I decided to go visit her today. I spent some time out there just talking to her, filling her in on what's happening. I think she's happy there, resting next to her husband. She's resting in peace now. I miss her and not a day goes by that I don't think about her; I just can't believe it's been 6 months already.

I did some lazy makeup today since I didn't really want to do full out makeup. I didn't want my efforts to go to waste if I were to be caught in the rain. I haven't used any of my Maybelline Eye Studio quads in the longest while so I thought I should give them a go today. I wanted something bright and whilst going through my drawers, Sea Sprite caught my eyes.

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: "Smokey Cinnamon", some "Candy Juice" and a "Macaron"

Happy Friday all!! Or at least I think it's Friday... Haha. It was one heck of a day yesterday and the chaos has not ended yet, nope, cause today is part 2!! I hope y'all had a satisfying Thanksgiving Day. Did you guys eat until it was impossible to take even a teeny tiny bit?! I was so guilty of that. LOL. That was just dinner though, not our Thanksgiving dinner yet, that's later tonight. Shopping was a success, moving on to another mall for more action. I am running on two hours of "sleep".

Ugh... today has just been so crazy and hectic. I'm kinda either lost or cannot remember what I am to say. LOL. So I'll spare y'all an awkward post and just keep it simple and short. :P

Today's Make Up: Black Friday Ready Makeup

Although I am all about being grateful and giving thanks everyday and not just one day out of the year, it is however Thanksgiving Day. And what do we do on Thanksgiving Day besides eating to our heats' desire without feeling guilty? Haha. Yep, give thanks and be thankful.

This Thanksgiving, like all the others before, I am grateful for my family, my friends, my home, my life, being alive and healthy but this year, unlike others, I am thankful for you guys. All of you. :) I started my blog last December so this is the first Thanksgiving I am celebrating with y'all.

I'd like to take a moment to thank y'all whether you're a follower, a regular visitor or even a wanderer that happens to stumble upon my page. Whoever that takes their time to read what I have to say, I'd like to thank.  Each views means a whole lot to me because I know that someone, somewhere is reading what I say. That alone, means so much to me. So thank you!!

But anyways, even though it is Thanksgiving today, the family will not be having our dinner today. Yeah... I blame retail. :/ They're one upping one another and opening earlier and earlier, as early as 5 PM in my area. And of course, the sales are too sweet to pass up so my aunts are all going crazy. So we all agreed, albeit not happily, to move dinner until tomorrow night so they can go get their shops on today and tomorrow morning. There's no point in me just waiting around at home ya know... Imma be joining them, or rather, embark on my own journey. LOL.

Makeup today is long wearing and budge free, in other words, Black Friday ready makeup. ;)

I chose concealers that will not dry my skin out bu midnight. It will be one long night so I applied Brightening Peach to my under eyes to assure that I will look refreshed throughout the night. I mixed a bit of BB Cream and long lasting foundation to give me coverage without wearing too thick of face makeup. I also stayed away from products that has shine, glow or shimmer in risking looking like an oily disco ball by the end of the night. I used Instain as my blush of choice because I know this blush will not budge on me. Just a little will go a loooong way.

Eyes are kept as simple as can be. First with a primer to ensure no creasing and/or fading until I decide to remove it tomorrow morning. Then I swept Sin all over my eyelids, keeping the edges clean from corner to corner. Next I used Perversion to tight line my waterline and gave it a little flick at the outer corner. Then I used Champagne Toast to rim my entire lower lash line to create a wide eyed, awake illusion. This will definitely come in handy later tonight. Lastly I gave my lashes a good curl and coated them in mascara.

After giving my lips a good scrubba dub dub, I applied a moisturizing lip balm. Then I applied two coats of Pink Juice, allowing it to dry before topping off with Mirrored Mauve.

Wearing makeup for 24-ish hours can really take a toll on my skin. So to ensure that my face retain its moisture and not gets the life sucked outta em, I brought along a travel sized can of Avene Thermal Spring Water.

I wish everyone of you a Happy Thanksgiving. Spend it with your loved ones and make great memories. Please enjoy your weekend and be safe!

As always, thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please come back soon. :)

Today's Make Up: "Éclair" Are As "Sweet As Candy"

Annnnd the weekend is officially underway; how are you all doing today?? Besides freezing my butt off right now, I am doing quite well. Yes, it is getting quite chilly around here, which I cannot complain nor embrace. Not yet at least, once I get used to this cold I'll start enjoying the beauty of it...As is every year. Haha. Don't forget to bundle up guys! Don't let yourself catch a nasty cold now.

Weekend for me means another family gathering. I'm Asian, we like to do everything as a whole family. We eat together, we have a good time together and just make time for one another to bond. With gatherings, there must be food. Food is vital for a gathering. Any Asians can testify that. LOL.

Alright, well let's get to it, makeup wise. :P I went for a glowing bare face, sweet doll eyes paired with sweet pink lips. It doesn't get anymore innocent looking than that. Haha.

As I mentioned above, I wanted the glowing yet bare faced type look today. Yesterday's look, I went for a bare face also, but I kept that more matte, whereas today, I used a light infusing primer, mixed in with my BB Cream for a subtle glowing effect. But before I did that, I applied Baby Skin to the areas where the pores are most problematic. I then sparingly used the All Covered Up concealer for the acne scars and uneven skin tones and such. Alright, after the BB Cream application, I set everything with a light weight powder. Then I sculpt and contour my face as I normally would. The blush I used today is very luminous so a highlight might not be necessary. It gives my cheeks the necessary hint of color while giving me a glow all at once.

Sweet As Candy is seriously sweet as candy. Whenever I want to go for a sweet, natural pink eye, this is my go to trio. I actually did a whole post raving about this trio, check it out if you'd like. :)

But yes, I used this trio on my eyes then used a dark brown liquid liner to thinly line my eyes, just enough to open up them but nothing too extreme. We are keeping things sweet and doll-like today. I didn't just use the eyeshadows on my eyelid, I took it to my lower lash line as well, incorporating all three shades as I did on my eyelid. Not in the same manner of course. Then I heated up my eye lash curler with a hair dryer before curling my lashes. Be VERY careful if you do the same because you can easily burn yourself. Lastly I coat my lashes in mascara.

**Details** If you're interested to know how I used this trio, I first applied browbone to my browbone and inner corner. I pulled the shadow to my top and lower lash line so it creates a 'C' shape, Then I used a flat eyeshadow brush to sweep eyelid all over my lids, keeping it only on the lids. I covered my entire lid, from inner corner to outer corner, not passing my crease. I then took a detailed brush and applied crease on my crease and outer V. I blended as I went, only applying more shadow if necessary because remember, I am going for an innocent look, not a smoky eye. The brown to the crease will help my eyes look bigger and more doll like, therefore more innocent. Using the same detailed brush with crease, I took that to the outer corner of my lower lash line, taking it about 1/3 way in. Back to the flat brush, I took eyelid to fill in the other 2/3 of my lower lash line all the way to my inner corner. I then flipped the brush around and took browbone and lightly applied that on top of eyelid by my inner corner. When everything is applied to my liking, I started to blend away, blend those harsh edges and transitions away!

As for my lips, I first applied Cheery Juice to stain my lips then topped it off with Éclair. Easy as 1, 2, 3. :P

That is the look I am sporting today. What do you have on today? Is it a lazy makeup day or did you go all out?

I hope y'all enjoyed this post. Now go and have fun. Enjoy your weekend!! But remember to stay safe. I'd like to thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please do come back soon. :)

Today's Make Up: Fall Trend - Jewel-Tone Eyes & Red Lips 2

Wednesday greetings everyone! Hope your week is going well. I cannot complain about mine I guess, so that makes it okay. Haha.

I actually did this exact look a couple months back, but I liked how it came out that time, I decided to recreate it again. First on the list, jewel-tone eyes and red lips. I'm not sure what it was, but I had this urge to sport bright red lips today. The orangey-red with the warm undertones, not the one with the cool undertones. I went through all of my lip products and Wild Watermelon almost immediately caught my eyes.

So on the face today are the mess below.

FACE
L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Infusing Primer
Maybelline Dream Fresh BB 8-in-1 Beauty Balm Skin Perfecter in Light/Medium
Physicians Formula Bronze Gems Healthy Glow Bronzer
ELF Essential Blush in Shy

EYES

Covergirl Lash Blast Fusion Mascara in Very Black

LIPS
Peri Pera Peri's Tint Water in Orange Juice
Revlon Color Burst Lip Butter in Wild Watermelon

I actually incorporated another trend into today's look, which is the bare faced with the flawless glow. In order to achieve that, I mixed a pump of Magic Lumi Primer and Dream Fresh BB and applied it all over my face. The Magic Lumi will give me that glow while the BB Cream will give me a dewy finish for the natural look. To keep the natural feel going, I didn't use too dark of a bronzer to sculpt my features as I usually would. I used this light bronzer to lightly dust it all over my face to give it some color and used the gems side of the compact as a highlight. Shy is that type of blush that is so subtle, it's border line barely there. For today, it provided what little color it did that it looks almost natural.

When jewels are mentioned, I immediately think of Sapphire blue, Emerald Green and Ruby Red, of course there are different colors too like purple or yellow. For today, our jewel tone eyes will be of a green shade, Green with Envy to be exact. I think using black liquid liner will contrast the green too much, so I opt for a brown instead. I wanted to keep the green as the main focus so I didn't wing it or applied it too thickly. Then I curled my lashes and applied mascara. Easy peasy.

As for lips, I first applied an orange tint water than topped it off with an orangey-red Lip Butter. Super, duper gorgeous.

Hope y'all enjoyed this post. Have a great rest of the night. Thank you for dropping by for a visit and thanks a bunches for reading. Please come back soon! :)

Today's Make Up: Pink Sweetness

Saturday greetings all! Hope you are all having one fabulous Saturday. I cannot complain about mine, tummy is full from the goodness of dim sum.. Mmhmm... yummy.

But we're barely getting started. Yep, being Asian, this is no where near the end. LOL. Today is one of my uncle's birthday so we are celebrating it in the most Asian way possible. With food... lots and lots of food. Mmmhmm, yum! We probably have enough to feed a whole country. Haha. I should be helping but I snuck away to post this. A blogger's gotta do what a blogger's gotta do to post daily. LOL. Cause I love sharing with y'all, it's my joy. :P

On the face today, mostly shades of pink for a sweet, natural look. It is truly a struggle when I attend these family gatherings, my makeup becomes severely restricted. It's alright, light and natural is good too!!

Since I'll be having my makeup on for the majority of the day, I chose a BB Cream that is  hydrating on my skin yet have a medium-ish coverage. That's why I love this Holika Holika BB Cream so much! I can always rely on it for situations like this. 

I am glad I was able to snatch this limited edition blush while it was around. The blush looks absolutely gorgeous from the pan, but not as intense when applied. Which can or cannot be a good thing. This is a beautiful shade, and I get probably half of its intensity on my cheek; it compliments my skin tone very well. On my skin tone, it gives me a winterize flush blushing type look.

On my eyes, I am using this faint lavender shade all over my lids. It looks beige but it goes on lavendery. Just a few sweep to brighten up my eyes.  Then I use the caramel brown on my crease to warm it up a bit before thinly lining my eyes. Nothing too fancy schmancy .

The lips is like the cheery on top, it pulls the whole look together. Lip tint and gloss is the way to go, no doubt about that. I am using a pink tint, topped off with a pinkish-lilac gloss.

And that's it for today's make up. I'm gonna run back to help now. Ya think they noticed I was gone for half an hour? LOL.

Y'all enjoy your weekends now! Whether you're heading out or staying in, just remember to enjoy yourselves. Also, don't forget to stay safe and bundle up well. Don't get sick now.

Today's Make Up: Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!! Or to those who find "Halloween" offensive, Happy Dressing Up and Get Free Candies Day? Whatever the case may be, whether you're going to a party, going out trick or treating, taking someone out trick or treating or even passing out candies, please, please, please BE CAREFUL. There's just so many things that can go wrong, so please remember to stay safe!

I will not be attending any parties this year, as I feel like I'm getting quite old for that now. I will be taking my kiddie cousins out trick or treating. They are beyond ecstatic that I will be taking them instead of their parents. LOL.

But annnnnnny whoooo, although I am not going as anything, I still wish to carry out the Halloween spirit. Today's makeup includes a whole lot of orange, because ya know, Halloween and orange and black goes hand in hand like Oreo and milk.

Since I will be outside all night, I will need my face product to be long lasting and sweat proof. I don't know how Fall is going for y'all elsewhere, but here in brick oven Arizona, we are still seeing mid-80s, dipping to mid-70s at night. There will be slight wind tonight, but nonetheless, it will be one long, sweaty night. Thus why I mixed a bit of BB Cream with my foundation to get the best of both worlds; that IS possible guys. I do not need full coverage so the BB Cream would have been enough, but the foundation is to help the BB last a bit longer and make it sweat proof. 

To stick with the orange theme, I used a peach blush lightly on my cheeks. Then I went ahead and contoured and highlight as usual. I did say that I will sweat a lot, so I stayed away from any face products with shimmer in it. The bronzer, highlight and blush I used are all matte.

On the eyes, I used the Sun-Set To See Trio paired with thick winged liner. I didn't want too much orange to seem overwhelming so I balanced it out by applying a beige shadow to my lower lash line.

As for the lips, I first applied Orange Juice then topped it off with Coral Crush. I will not have to bring neither products for reapplications.

Today's makeup is very low maintenance. The last thing I need to worry about is my makeup when I'll have like 10 kids I need to closely keep my eyes on. I am ready for this. Hair up in a high pony tail and braided, comfy clothes and shoes. Everything is good to go. :P

Just in case y'all forgot what I am sporting on the nails for today, here is a quick reminder. Halloween Spooks!

Please have a safe and fun night everyone! Do take care. <3 Now go, go.

Today's Make Up: Wedding - A Bridesmaid

Happy Saturday all! Hope you're all enjoying the utmost fantastic weekend!! :D

If you visited my blog yesterday, you probably know that I am one of the bridesmaid for my friend's wedding today. It will be a traditional Vietnamese wedding, ceremony in the morning and reception in the evening. Needless to day, I will be busy all day today; so for the sake of convenience, I had composed this blog last night. By the time y'all read this, I will probably be at the reception getting ready.

Any who, on the face today. This is probably the most products I've worn on my face, like ever! LOL.

LIPS
ELF Lip Lock Pencil
Peri Pera Peri's Tint Water in Candy Juice
NYX Butter Gloss in Peaches And Cream

As y'all can probably see from the products above, I did not use a BB Cream today, awwww, I know, but instead relied on my trusty Revlon Photo Ready foundation to last the entire day and also photo friendly. I went through the routine as I would normally but when it came to blush and bronzer, I opted for mattes. When I know that I'll be wearing make up for a long period, I tend to shy away from shimmers because as the day progress, the oiliness will give me enough shine as is. I want to keep everything as matte as possible. 

As for my eyes, I didn't do anything over the top. I used the eyeshadows from the Naked 3 palette to create a brown smoky eye and topped it off with an Overshadow for a little more shimmer. I did, however, wear falsies today. Gaaaaaasp, I know! Wearing the Kiss Human Hair Eyelashes in Diva 01; received this in my iPsy bag a couple days ago. 

For my lips, I went with something I know works. I used my Peri's Tint Water underneath my NYX Butter Gloss. I took an extra step and applied the ELF Lip Lock Pencil around my lips to ensure feathering as a precaution. 

After everything was finished, I set my face with a setting spray to ensure my makeup will stay on and remain fresh throughout the day. Before I left the house, I did lightly mist my face in Thermal Spring Water to keep my face hydrated and I also through in a travel sized can into my bag to frequently mist myself throughout the day.

Y'all enjoy your fabulous weekend now and don't forget to be safe. Thank you for visiting and thank you for reading. Please do come back soon! :)

Today's Make Up: Birthday Dinner

Happy Saturday all! Hope you all a great Friday and will have an awesome weekend.

Thank you for all of your birthday wishes, I truly appreciate it!! <3 I feel very loved. So I cannot thank you enough! Also cannot believe I am 25 now, half way to 50. Gosh, a year older but still feels 24; I wonder when 25 will kick in. Haha.

Birthday dinner with the family today. It should be super, duper fun! I can already see the adults hounding me and grilling me about boyfriends and wanting to introduce "nice" guys to meet. Oh man... mental breakdown happening really soon. On the bright side, we'll be at the buffet. I am soooo needing the buffet right now. Have been dieting waaaay too long. So gonna kill it today. LOL.

So, on the face today, keeping it simple yet glamorous, incorporating pink but also low maintenance so I don't need to worry while I am grubbing.

Pink products today are my Hard Candy Baked Blush in Living Doll, Pink Juice Tint Water and Baby Lips Crystal in Pink Quartz. #Pinktober

If you noticed, I did not use a highlight today. I didn't think it was necessary, really. This Skin79 BB Cream is so luminous that it has a glow, dewy finish on its own. I also paired it with a very glowy blush so if I were to add a highlight as well, too much of something isn't necessarily a good thing. Haha.

I have not used my Naked 3 palette in the longest time... Honestly do not remember how long it's been but I forgot how much I loved this palette. I can almost guarantee you guys that you'll see a lot of this palette this Fall season; the rose gold is absolutely stunning. Ya know what else I need to pick up? The Naked Basics 2 palette.

These Peri Pera Peri's Tint Water has AMAZING lasting power. I can apply two coats and still have the tint by the end of the night after killing the buffet and lots of wiping. I will not need to bring the Tint Water for reapplication, but will definitely stick Pink Quartz into my bag.

Wooo, so ready for this! Have a great weekend y'all! Enjoy it and stay safe.

Today's Make Up: Fall Trend - Jewel-Tone Eyes & Red Lips

Wednesday greetings everyone! Hope your week is going well. I cannot complain about mine I guess, so that makes it okay. Haha.

So yesterday, I finally posted the Fall/Winter 2014-2015 Beauty Trends, check it out if you haven't already. It's just a compilation of the most popular trends this season. I wanna make your lives easier. So bookmark it or whatever so you guys will have a handy referral to the latest trends. :P

I actually couldn't wait any longer and had to try out a few trends to see how I liked it. First on the list, jewel-tone eyes and red lips. I'm not sure what it was, but I had this urge to sport bright red lips today. The orangey-red with the warm undertones, not the one with the cool undertones. I went through all of my lip products and Wild Watermelon almost immediately caught my eyes.

And that is the look for today. Forgot to snap some selfies before I removed everything. I need to remember that from now on.

Thank you for dropping by for a visit and thanks a bunches for reading. Please come back soon! :)
