Wedding Entourage Look

Hi guys! Recently I attended one of my cousin's wedding. I did my own makeup and hair during that very special day.

Do you guys remember this Church somewhere? Yep, this is where Popoy and Basha had their wedding in the movie A Second Chance. Such a beautiful Church, probably one of the nicest from the Churches I've visited.

It's very very beautiful in Antipolo, it's just nice to breathe fresh cool air and to be away from the busy streets of Manila. And of course to be in a special occasion where in you celebrate love with the presence of our Lord.

Valentine's Day Hair and Makeup

Hi loves! Quoting Justin Bieber in his song "Love Yourself" - Cause if you like the way you look that much, ohhh baby you should go and love yourself. Here's my way of celebrating love month (I know this is kind of late but I'm posting this anyway). You don't have to have a date for Valentine's day, because sometimes, all you need are a good set of makeup and a va-va-voom hairstyle to accompany you. Because looking good makes you feel good, I mean maybe even better than spending your day with someone. So without further ado, here was my hair and makeup for the day of hearts.

This is probably the best set of curls I did on myself. Could this be a hair goal? I hope so. I used Babyliss' 32 mm curling iron for reference. If you notice, my hair color is now black but turns brown when light hits it. Finally! I don't have to worry about my roots showing and no more ombre hair.

For my makeup, I opted for a dark brown smokey eyes with long fluttery lashes and a burgundy lip (which is not translating well on pictures) All the products I used for this look are listed down below.

Face:

Banila Co's Prime Primer Classic

Banila Co's it Radiant CC Cream

IOPE Air Cushion XP in C21

L'oreal Mat BB Veil Powder in N2

Brows:

Thank you for reading! I hope you had an awesome Valentine's day but I hope that it doesn't end there. Show or express love to your special someone and most especially with your family and friends for all the days of the year!

f(x) 'Red Light' Inspired Look

Annyeong Haseyo! Joneun Mara imnida! kkkkkkkkk

f(x), a five member girl group, recently released pictures as teasers for their upcoming full length album 'Red Light' And I just had to recreate a look inspired of their make-up, especially Sulli's make-up!

I had a lot of fun doing this look, and of course I had to take a lot of selfies!!! #selfielord I wanted to put all my pictures here, but y'all probably wouldn't like that hahahaha umay! So here's my top picks from all the photos I took.

Their concept is kind of like dual personality I guess, because one side of their face had simple make-up on but then the other side had dark make-up such as black smokey eyes and red-gradient lips. The simple side is hidden by their bangs, so if you're wondering why my bangs are all over the side of my face, that's why :)

I really love smokey eyes, especially the full on lid black smokey eyes, I think it compliments my monolids-sometimes-double-lids eyes well and it makes my eyes extra bigger!

Oh, for the first time in forever, my brows are looking gooooooood! I used my Kate Tokyo Designing Eyebrow (read my review here)

Spring Make-up Look + Products used

Hey, how's it going? Who's in the mood for bright-springy colors? ME! That's why I experimented a little, I made this make-up look inspired by the flowers I bought recently. I'm just in the mood to create a pastel/floral eye make-up hehehe.

I've been playing recently with different backgrounds for my photos, I use different backdrops for different posts (which are all pretty and dainty btw) so now, I decided to step it up a little (Oh, if you're wondering what camera I'm using, I use S4) Yah, it's just a smartphone but I think the photos turned out good for the most part right? Would definitely use a good camera in the future for better quality photos! But for now, let's appreciate my creativity and determination to make these photos look good despite not having a pro camera, hey you have to work with what you have right? a little creativity and passion is all you need! :D

Moving on, here are the photos!

The following are the products I used for this look. I have to be honest, I went a little crazy while taking these photos, I wanted to take more pictures and more products, hahahaha! it's just that the pictures came out beautiful! But I only took pictures of the products I used.
