Finally able to take photos of my make-up bag and its content. Can't wait to share it to you guys. Nothing's really special about the contents but I hope you enjoy my humble share ;)

My make up bag is actually a cute little bag that I got from Misen, a store similar to Daiso Japan.

The Contents

Let's talk about the basics first. These are the things I put all over my face. I have one face powder, one foundation and a BB stick.

1. Face Powder from Careline. I've been using this face powder for years now. I'm using the one in Natural shade since it's perfect for my skin tone. The face powder doesn't last all day but I love the fact that it contains Vit.E keeping my skin healthy. Also, I never had any problems on my skin using this product.

2. Powder Foundation from Maybelline. I do not use this one. I use this for emergency make up session.

3.BB stick from Maybelline. I apply this one all over my face before putting on my face powder. I love how light this product and how it instantly give me a fresh look. I got so many compliment about how "glowing" I look whenever I use this product. However, it doesn't last that long contrary to its 24-hour long wearing boast on its ads.

BLUSH-ONS

1. Cheek Mousse from Nichido in Pink Champagne. This one is a shiny, velvety blush on. I love the fact that this gives a very subtle color. Makes me look like I have a natural blush.

2. Bronzer/Blush On from Ever Bilena in Gold Icon. I use this under my pink blush-ons. This one is to "sculp" my round face so this one's really a go-go. I love how it comes with a built it brush and its beautiful shimmer.

3. Blusher from Etude House in Grapefruit Jelly. This is the most recent product I added on my make up kit. So far I'm loving this product. At first I do not like this because it's too subtle, but when applied above my powder, it looks great. It looks so natural and this gives me a very nice glow too. Moreover, the packaging is so cute, as expected from Etude House. I love the powder puff the most, it's so cute! Don't you think so?

EYE PRODUCTS

1. Eyebrow liner from Daiso Japan. I use this one everyday to line my eyebrows. I love this one because this gives a very natural color. Not so light and not so dark, the color is just right. I think this is perfect for my everyday look.

2. Eyebrow liner from Ever Bilena in Kleopatra. I use this one if I want my eyebrows to look more visible. Usually I use this during special events. I like this one because it lasts all day so I do not need to do any retouch.

3. Black liquid eyeliner from Fanbo Cosmetics. I already bought 3 or 4 of this liquid eyeliner. I love this one because this stays for a very long time even though it's cheap.

4. Diamond eye shadow from Korea. I forgot what brand is this 'cause it already faded but I got this from my sister.This one have two shimmering colors. I used the copper one all over my lid and the cream one under my eyebrows.

5. Paganini Collection lip brush. This one's a gift from a Christmas party with my best friends. I use this to apply my lip balm.

LIPPIES

I use different lippies depending on the day or my mood. I keep a few of each kind. I bring 3 lipsticks with me, a lip tint, a lip gloss and a lip balm.

1. Lip Tint from Tupperware. I got this from a giveaway I won last year. I seldom use this.

2. Lip Gloss from Watsons. I use this lip gloss for my friends who want an instant make over from me but I never really use this one. I do not like the "I just ate lechon look" lol

3. Moisturizing lip balm from Watsons. This one's my favorite lip balm ever! I love how it moisturize my lips and at the same time giving it a subtle color. I use this before I put any make up on my face.

4. Matte long lasting lipstick from Wet n Wild in Cinnamon Spice. I've been reading a lot of good reviews about Wet n Wild lipsticks. It so happened that my best friend wants one so badly so I bought 2 lippies of the same brand. One to give to my friend as a gift, and one for me. This is deep red in color and I love how matte this lipstick is. This also lasts long so this one is a real must have for me. I usually wear this when I feel so bold and feeling like a vampire lol.

5. NYX matte lipstick in Indie Flick. Orange is one of my favorite lip color! As soon as I saw this lippie, I fell in love with it! I use this one when I want to achieve that fresh look! I love how matte this lipstick is. It is matte but it does have a velvety feel when I glide this on my lips.

6. Lipstick from VOV Korea in Fushion Orange. I also got this from my sister as a gift. This is a sheer lipstick. I'm not a big fan of sheer lipsticks but this one's orange so..this is love! I usually top this on my NYX lipstick :)

I think I have more than what I need for my lips inside my bag but I usually choose from these 3 lipsticks.

SWATCHES
1. NYX lipstick
2. Wet n Wild
3. VOV

Hey guys, I just wanna share to you two of the trending news from Yahoo! (www.yahoo.com). If you've followed my blog for a long time you'll know how much I adore reading. Here's a random fact about me, I haven't watched tv for more than a minute for a very long time like a year (that long) because our television's broken. As a result I always spend time reading news from Yahoo (and other web sources) to keep myself updated from news (and gossip) kidding! hehe
Basically I opened yahoo and find these great tips from their BeautyTalk section where they post a lot of useful tips. Here they are:
First,

How to Find the Right Lip Color for Pinay Skin Tones

photo by bbs "Shalene Joyce Diez

In Bobbi Brown's latest makeup book Pretty Powerful, she advises women to look for a shade that is closest to one's natural lip shade. "The most flattering color will either match or be slightly darker than your lips," she writes.
In the case of most Filipinas, a rosy pink with brown undertones, like NARS lip color in Dolce Vita, works best as an everyday shade.

left = pink, right = brown undertone

The other one is this:

Get an instant makeover with 5 quick tricks

1. Quick trick to revamp your look: Stand up Although we risk sounding like your mother, if you want to revamp your look, stand up straight. Your posture is hugely important to the way you look.

Having good posture doesn’t mean standing polka straight. You need to stand naturally, allowing your spine to curve in an S shape. Make sure when you are standing that your hips and ears are aligned.

2. Quick trick to revamp your look: Eyes and lips Your eyes and lips are you chance to have fun and, if you want to give yourself a makeover using makeup, start with these areas. Firstly, find an eyeliner pen or pencil that matches your natural eye color. Then play around with designs.When applying your eyeliner make sure you keep checking what your liner looks like when your eyes are open so that you get the finished look you were after. Also, to keep your lipstick on for longer first apply a lip liner and use a lip brush to apply your lipstick. This will also give you more control during application.

3. Quick trick to revamp your look: Eyebrows We all know that your eyebrows can dramatically change your face. The right brows can frame your favorite features and change your appearance. If you have a long face and would like to make it look shorter choose a flat brow shape. Although a DIY job can work wonders, sometimes getting some professional guidance goes a long way. If you want to change your entire brow shape, book an appointment at your trusted salon. Then once you’ve had them re-shaped you could maintain your look at home with tweezers.

4. Quick trick to revamp your look: Dye Changing your look doesn’t have to be expensive; it can be as cheap as you want it to be. If you feel like your wardrobe needs updating, take a look at what you already own. If you have a pair of trousers or skirt that fits well but is looking a little old, pop it into the washing machine and add in some fabric dye.

5. Quick trick to revamp your look: One statement piece

Sometimes a total revamp or makeover isn’t necessary. All you need is one statement piece that ties together your outfit. To find that magical piece of clothing, try on lots of different items and explore new styles, cuts and colors. Ideally, your statement piece will have a wow factor so that it can turn an ordinary outfit into one that will turn heads. The key to getting this wow factor is to look for bold, unusual colors. Don’t choose a multi-colored item though, unless lots of your other clothes are plain. This is because you want to be able to wear your statement piece with a lot of outfits, so choose items in bold, block colors. Instructions: Your statement piece should be a little out-there and should definitely reflect you and your personality. Take time to find this special item and you’ll soon reap the rewards.

My Insights

Of course both of the post are equally important right? The first post is very helpful for all Filipinas especially ladies of my age. I'm not being mean but I can't help to notice it when some girls of my age fail to match their lips with their skin tones. Anyway mistakes are inevitable and there is always a room for improvement. Most Filipinas have morena skintone so either rose pink colors or brown undertones will suite them well. I guess the best thing to remember in choosing your lip color is to choose a color close to your natural lip color. As for me I have this not so light/not so dark lipcolor but I opted on brown/red undertone colors simply because it looks good on me. What I'm using now are the lipsticks 'Romantic Red' from EB Cosmetics and 'Fresh Melon' from Avon.

And hey, I just found out that Red-Orange colors are good on me so I'm aiming for the lipstick 'Autumn Breeze' from EB Cosmetics or those Orange/Redish colored lipsticks from Etude House.lol

How about you guys, what lipsticks are you wearing? What color is suitable/looks good on you?

As for the second post from yahoo, those 5 tips are also very important. It may be too simple that most girls neglect to think about them but they are all very helpful if you want to instantly have a good look.
Standing up straight won't only give you that instant S shape but it's also important in enhancing your posture. It is also helpful when you are having your photoshoots or any formal picture taking. You must have notice already how photographers asked you to sit up straight when you have your picture taken.

Another quick tip is to apply some eyeliner and lisptick. I guess both will suffice if you want to have a fresh look w/out trying to look like a drag queen. It's most helpful especially if you're in a hurry or if you're a student like me. You wouldn't want to overuse make-up on your face in going to school right? Unless you have a school presentation or something.lol The same thing goes in filling in your eyebrows. If you have a bushy eyebrows then you might as well ask a beautician to shape those brows. In my case, I never reshape my brows because of my religious belief (joke) just kidding! it's because I don't know, maybe I'm too lazy to maintain a new eyebrow shape. hehe It seems fine for me because I can still fill in my brows the way I want them to be since I do not have a bushy eyebrow.*luckyme* It's important to maintain a reshaped brows, otherwise it would look worse so you have to pull those unwanted brows like every 3-4 days to keep those clean look.

Dye your clothes. Well I don't dye my clothes. I've seen a lot of DIY projects about dyeing clothes and they look so easy but I don't do them. I'm not just into it haha. Maybe I'd do it soon probably when something happens like a change of heart? LOL But dyeing you're clothes is also helpful. That works well if you have an overloaded closet and you don't know what else to do with those clothes so you might as well re-invent them or the best thing to do is to donate those to typhoon victims :)
I actually prefer buying new clothes. Not those types which are branded and too high class. You can always avail awesome clothes from thrift shops right??? Whose into thrift shops here??????hehe ME :D

The last quick tip is shall we say the most important thing to be remembered by fashionistas? I'll say yes to that. Like what they always say a shoes or an accessories may break or make an outfit, that's why it's very important choose an outfit that complements your shoes and accessories. You might feel like playing with your wardrobe but be careful. If your outfit is a bit plain and not so glamorous you can always choose a statement necklace or any accessories that will make you look two times lovelier than the person next to you hehee the same thing goes with your choice of shoes. Another thing to remember is to be cautious in wearing a pop of colored accessories. You may refer to the style and choices of Pinay bloggers Laureen Uy and Kryz Uy. You'll notice how they carefully match an outfit with colorful accessories.

Now here's a quick tip from me:

SMILE :)

it's the best outfit/accessories/makeup any girl can wear

regarding any skin color a smile is more than enough to turn heads

it can even brighten up the whole world.

Good Luck!
