Updated My Daily Make

So, I guess it has been a while since the last time I shared my daily (or almost) routine of my make. The routine is still quite the same, just a few products changes. Also, I do not know how to professionally put on make-up nor even know how to. LOL. This is how "I" do it. I'm somewhat still learning and plus, I'm a poor student, therefore, will be using what is affordable for me. And that is, ones that works for me as well, you can say.
 1. So first I start off with my moisturizer. Dabbed some dots onto my faces, then gently massage and spread all over the face (don't forget your neck too).
(my moisturizer: Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer SPF 20)
 2. Next I put on my foundation. Similar method to my moisturizer, dabbed onto my face and with a makeup sponge, gently spread/pat it out to the whole face (don't forget your neck).
(Foundation: Revlon Colorstay combo/oily skin, 24hrs #21)
 3. I use my old BB cream as my concealer. Lol. It works for me so yea....Again, I dab dots under the eyes and under brow going out towards the temple. Next, I just use my fingers and spread it out gently and nicely trying to blend the panda eyes away. (Don't know if it will successfully conceal it well, but I like it.haha ) I put little on my nose bridge and a bit at corner outer lips (for concealment).
( Dr. Jart BB cream Silver label. SPF 35/PA++ whitening)
 4. Next, I take my Naked Palette and use the browns (mixing the two) to contour certain area of the face (nose bridge) and darken in my brows (the dark brown). I like using my Anastasia brow set too but was lazy and stuck with the shadow palette. lol. its fast-er-ish...you know. :3
(Urban Decay Basics Neutral Palette)
 5. I use my pink lipstick as a base for my blush later. So I dab two-three dots a little above the apples of my cheek (on each side) and then gently spread/pat them towards the side of the cheek bone.
(Milani  #11 Fruit punch)
 6. Set it all with my translucent powder. Usually I would do it last, but errr.... lately I been rushing to school and all, and so the routine for it had changed a bit. hehe. Anyways I just brush on some of the powder to set it. (can;t forget about the neck. :3)
(Loreal Translucent powder #916)
7. With my highlighter, I use as a primer for my shadows. Dabdab onto the eyelids. Also onto the bottom inner corner-ish.
(Benefit highlighter)
 8. Back to my neutral palette, I finish up with the shadows. Covering the lids with the light brown and the tip with the dark brown. Also brushing a bit at the end corner of the under eyelash line.
(Urban Decay Basics Neutral Palette)
 9. Then comes the eyeliner, and lining my eyes, and ending it with a little bit of a wing.
(Milani Eye Tech bold black liquid eyeliner)
 10. Curl my lashes, and put on my mascara. (Optional: false lashes)
(Milani instant volume mascara, black #106)
11. With the blush, brush it onto the apples of your cheeks.
(Revlon blush. I dropped it and it cracked.... TT_TT)

12. Lastly, Lipstick. My sugar for the base/moisturizer and then the lipstick. Idk how to put it on nicely, so for this I just dab it on.lol. not alot because I dont want it dramatic. Anyways yea....
(Fresh lip balm, and milani lipstick)
 Before and after pic.

And after camwhore and picture spam. yea yea... play dress up and all.



^Another look.... hehe, Wondering what my Halloween costume will be or what I'll be for Halloween.
Well, after all this I made some fruit juice. My favorite Strawberries and bananas. But its late now and I'm to lazy to do it now, so I will update that tomorrow or whenever. Or update down here later.

Night brainstorm

Well I've been thinking about what I should be doing to get myself back to being motivated and inspired. I'm thinking about maybe doing mood board and sketching ideas down so that I can improve and practice on my drawing skills. Though we will see if this lazy person here will do that. Sigh.. Good luck to self. Hehe

Nuvula SS 2014 Collection

The past weekend, on Saturday at 1pm, West Hollywood, Nuvula held their SS 2014 Collection Fashion Show. I went with my friend Muzi, and Ann. It was great and we were originally 2nd row seated, but was very fortunate and got to fill in front row seats. I really loved Nuvula's concept and inspiration. It was inspiring as well motivating, Thanks Muzi for letting me know about this fashion show. Now I feel more motivated to try to get back at design, illustrating, and practicing. :) And thanks Nuvula for this wonderful show that they've prepared.

Simplistic neutral-edgie nails

Just finished doing my nails. Haven't been really doing them got back to doing them again. Before hand I had done neon orange lined black and yellow accent. ( all of the polish for that one was from Sephora's mini neon set which I got from my birthday seen from earlier blog post,from Amparou, thanks a bunch) 

I've been keeping them simple as they will go with anything. Last time the neon was an experiment. To my. Surprise it did look neon. I guess that is because I've never done neon colors before. At the end of post I'll leave down some of my reviews for the product merchandise I've used. Back on subject, these two color combinations were a few of my favorites. The design is very basic as you can see In the picture. I think a little glitter or some mini jewel or whatever you want can be added. I just went simple since its all that I had. Plus I hate polishing my right hand because I'm a righty and the left just don't come out as nice. But it's quite funny when the right hand side appear better than the left. One side always fails when you're a newbie and doing it yourself. Haha but from far away everything looks beautiful. Lol 

Lastly, just a few words about the product I used. 
-Avon Speed Dry (nail enamel) 
-Milani High Speed Fast Dry One Coat Formula (Nail Lacquer) (#26 rapid orchid) (note: It is not black, but a dark dark violet purple. Very beautiful)
-Sephora by OPI Clear Top Coat from my mini sephora set.

I really love the Milani and Revlon nail polish because of its fast drying and one coat application. Plus, those two itself comes with a shine in them, therefore, you don't need to put clear coat. I used clear coat on the ones I didn't cover my nail fully with, left the rapid orchid color. In addition, the quality of all three are wonderful. Gotta love doing nails hehehe .
