Hello everyone!

     Last Saturday I had the chance to do my friends' make up for our company's anniversary party. The one I mentioned that has Oscars as a theme. The party went well and the rest was history.
    I'm not a pro make up artist but I was very happy to do my friends' make up. I use different eye shadow and lip colors for them but maintained a fresh look. Not a very hard work anyway since my friends are already pretty (including me) chos!
    Here are the photos and sorry it wasn't taken beautifully since we took them right before we went out to take a cab. lol.



     Feel free to tell me what you think about the make up in the comment section below. More posts are coming so stay tune.

     By the way girls, if you're around Cebu and looking for a make up and hair stylist I know a very good one. It's my friend Stephanie and she also dabbles in blogging you can check her blog to view her make up portfolio and her contact details. 

      Enjoy and have a very nice day! <3 TIN

   Hey guys! got some time to kill so I just decided to re-create one of my favorite (or possibly my favorite) make-up look by Michelle Phan.Well, I guess everybody knows her so no need for any introduction how talented she is.
     I was actually thinking of a make-up look that I could wear for our company's Oscars inspired party. I think this will be perfect since it will be held in the evening and because this look is simply gorgeous.
      It may be different from what Michelle created but I love how what I did. I chose not to give it a feather like effect on the tip as it will emphasize my small eyes. If you love the look, you can also check Michelle's video to recreate it.

2. Wet n Wild
3. VOV

     This is the first division of the make-up set. A 12 color eye shadow set! I love the fact that this eye shadow set has a variety of colors ranging from neutrals to the bright ones. However, some of the eye shadows are too subtle that you have to put on it for several times to make it visible. You may need an eye primer when using the eye shadows too because it doesn't stay long without it.  :(
     The next division has 2 blush on colors and a cake powder/foundation. I really love the blush ons because it is very pigmented. With just a single stroke from your brush, it already leaves a very good application so you don't need to retouch your blush.
     Another good thing about this make up set and the real reason why I bought this one is because it comes with a two-way cake foundation which you can use it as a powder or as a foundation. It smells so good as well and does a very good coverage.
     Aside from the makeup set, I've also decided to try San-san's HD concealer. It comes with 2 different shades (natural,beige) but I chose the one in Natural shade. The natural shade is lighter than the beige one. I haven't tried the product yet so I can't give my full judgment about this one. I love the packaging of this concealer though since it comes with a brush applicator.

My sister and I Taken during her birthday (don't know how old we were in this photo)

One of the Sundays we spend with the whole family. How I miss those times when all of us would attend the mass ceremony together (with me and my sister wearing dress) * My mother never allowed us to go to church not wearing dress* I can't believe how ridiculous I looked like with that pink funny looking dress AHAHAHHAHA

     Truth is that I am always jealous of seeing sisters having fun with each other. I only have one sister (elder) but we were never close to each other. Not that we grew apart from each other or anything, it's just that we were almost always different in everything. For instance, she love Korean foods while I love Japanese foods or she's tall,I'm short. I love gore and horror movies while she love romantic films. and..ugh. The list of our differences is absolutely endless!
     My friends are not her friends,and her friends are not my friends. We never have a mutual friend and we always fight over the same things again and again. We often hate each other's guts too but then give me siblings who never fought with each other?
     Even though we live under the same roof, we seldom spend time to have fun with each other. There were times that I get jealous with her boyfriend too 'cause I feel like he's more special to her than to me or any of our family members. And coz they spend a lot of time with each other and visit different places than she did with me. Sometimes when I look at them lookig so happy I remember the times when we were young and play with each other a lot. *We used to pretend that she is Pikachu and I am Richuu* It's not that I really hate my sister and her bf about that, it's just that I wish we do and share the same things together too.
     In spite of our differences, I love my sister. She's the only sister I have and my mother always tells us to treasure each other as we are each other's gift. Maybe it's my fault why we are not close because at the first place, I never tried hard enough to get close with her and tell her what I really feel. Last Saturday was my sister's birthday so I'm taking this day as an opportunity to tell the things I've been longing to tell her.
     Hi sis! I don't know if you'll be able to read this but here are some things that I'd like to tell you. I'm sorry I do not have the courage to say these to you in person. You know I do not act as the emotional one in the family and because I am afraid of losing it as I am very emotional while writing this to you now.

• Thank you! You may not know it but you inspire me a lot! Everything you do makes me want to become a better me. At first, I just want to surpass you because I'd hate mom and dad to compare us, but now I couldn't think of anything else but to thank you. Thank you for being the best that you can, as you inspire me to be the best of me too. I'm a real big fan of yours!

• I'm sorry....

...I'm not the best sister in the world
... I act so mean and selfish sometimes
 ...for not being there when you need me and for not listening to you when you need someone to do so
...for not giving you the chance to know the real me and for not making an effort to get to know you too
...for damaging your pc, your doll house and the doll Mommy Tessie gave you (believe me, I didn't mean any of it :(

• I love you

...I'm sorry it took me a while to let you know this but I love you
...If I were to choose a sister for a thousand times I'd choose you. You should know that you're amazing and perfect by just being you. I couldn't wish for anything else for you but happiness! the kind of happiness coming from you and something that you could share to the rest of the world. That even when times get tough and you need to face a storm alone, you'd manage to smile and consume a piece of that happiness.

     Happy Birthday Ate! I love you and I will always do. I love you even though you changed the Wi-Fi's password :p I wish we'll spend more time together soon and grow old with each other, and love each other more than Ana and Elsa, and let go of the things that we do not need (yea,like the song from Frozen haha) I promise I'll keep the effort to be good for you and for our family. I cannot wait to tell you all my dramas and plan a trip with you.
Once,again Happy happy birthday! May you enjoy this day and everything else under the sun :)

*I'm sorry as this is a badly written post. No offense to your degree in English.lol

I gave her a make over :p *My sister sucks in putting make up, one of the things we differ hahaaha
She got no make up sense like I do, but maybe that's why God made us sisters. So we can fill each other's gaps. 
BTW,don't tell her about this 'cause she actually forbid me to post her photos online. Sorry sis :p

     Hello everyone! Sorry for my long hiatus in blogging :) As a graduating student, I've been bombarded by a battalion of projects, making me a busy bee. hehe
    One of our final requirement is to produce a theatrical performance, that means we need a lot of things to prepare, not to mention time,money, effort and of course-make up! Our professor taught us the basics of theater make up weeks before we will have our play. Some of my co-actors/classmates asked me to do their make up for our upcoming play. Here are some of the make up look I did for them.

PRO's

      It's really a wonder how a make-up can change one's appearance. Just by using proper make-up colors and basic brush techniques you can transform yourself into a young and beautiful princess into an old woman or into an ugly old witch.
      Earlier this month, our Speech and Stage Arts professor tasked us to group ourselves into three and transform each other into the beautiful Princess Rapunzel, to an 86 year-old woman and to the old witch in Hansel and Gretel.
     Before applying  make-up to each other's faces, our professor asked us to prepare different make-up palettes for the three looks. These palette will serve us our guide in creating our assigned looks.
Below are some photographs of the make-up palette created for the three looks assigned to us. I call these pallettes- Metamorphosis.



    For Princess Rapunzel, I used palette in light and feminine colors. A combination of golden yellow and earth brown for her eyes will complement to her beautiful blonde hair. Light brown eyebrow color and pink blush on for her total royal look. A combination of pink and nude lip color is what I used for her lips.
