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.

     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

        Hey guys, it's actually our semestral break so got enough time to rest but I'm definitely bored to death. I spend most of my time reading, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, watching movies,making some illustrations (which I will show you soon) and doing nothing :) hehe
        Anyways, yesterday was Sunday, a day-off for my sister and fortunately she's bored like me too. Even bored after we've watched the film ' The Mistress' . Sorry if you're a fan of John Lloyd and Bea but I must say I really don't like the film. Never like most FIlipino made film though :]
       Ok enough of that talk about boredom, you might as well get bored reading my post too hahaha.
What I'll show you here are some of the photos I took last night after I did a make-over session with my elder sister. This make-over session I just said made us (my sister and I) wash off the boredom we have. So, here is it:

Here's what her make-up looked like

Here' a closer look of the eye make-up I did for her. I chose to apply neutral colors since I haven't tried doing her make-up and I know neutral colors are always good for anybody. Also, if you wanna be safe in using eyeshadow colors. heehhhe :D

Here's her lips. I chose a light and soft color for her. I know any lip color will match with the neutral colors of her eye but she wanted to have it that way (soft). Well that will depend on the occasion on where will you wear a make-up anyway.On her case, I want to give her a natural and sweet looking look.

Sweeter Smile :)

Her "safe" satisfied look hehehe make me feel happy and smile too

FInished Look- hahahaha we actually argued about the photo caption LOL but we end up agreeing about it and laughing haha

I tied two small braids from the sides of her head. What I really want is to give her a fishtail braid but that's isn't possible because she have a very,very,very thick hair. I'm not even exaggerating :)

just so you know guys, my sister and I looked very different from each other :)

she had longer nose and high cheekbones

It's her request to edit her photo like this one, a music player frame.LOL

OKay, enough of her vanity photos , here's what I use to do her make-up: 

I used Skin White face cream as a make-up base before I applied everything else.

After applying the make-up base, I applied a liquid foundation in 'soft beige' from Ever Belina Cosmetics and face powders to set the foundation off.

The one which I labelled 'number 1' is the one I used to color the middle part of her lids

here's my cute liquid eyeliner!!!!!!!!!!I sooooooooo love it!~

What it looked like. Exactly why I love it.It has pointed tip which made it easier for me to apply especially on the closest line of the eye and in making the perfect wing eyeliner tip

For her make-up, I used two mascara. The one in the left side is from Avon, the one in right is the high definition mascara from Ever Belina Cosmetics. Both are rich black in color.

After doing her eye, it's time to apply blush-on. I gave her a soft blush, she didn't want to look comical. Pardon my fail ombre nails hhaha I love this brush anyway, it's because of its animal print :)

After setting everything in place from the eye to her cheeks, I applied her lipcolor. I actually used two lipsticks for her. The first one above which is Fushia Pink from Avon and Fresh Melon next to it also from Avon. After I applied the lipsticks, I gave her lips a slight touch of the peach colored lip gloss and viola! her make-up is done. We end up our make-over session by picture taking. All photos are taken by her cellphone camera so pardon me if it's a bit blurry :) P.S I'm not trying to make a make-up tutorial here that's why I don't provide a step-by-step photos of how I did her make-up. The reason why I'm the one doing her make-up is that my sister doesn't really know how to. She even asked me to download a make-up tutorial video for her to learn. hehe. If you wanna know/interested more in make-up tutorials as well as doing awesome nail arts, you can check my friend Lahlab's blog here: steph-g.blogspot.com .She always have something awesome to offer.    That's it, thanks for reading!
