In spite the gloomy and starless night, my friends and I were able to witness 22 Tango Records 's 2nd leg as a part of their pop-up event series, FOLK CITY LOVE. Actually it was last February 5 when the music series started spreading love at The Walk, IT Park, but because of our busy schedule my friends and I only managed to push through the event yesterday.

My friends and I do not share the same taste in music so I was very glad they agreed to go out with me and attend the event. Nevertheless, we had so much fun chillin' out with each other while enjoying the beautiful music.

"LOVE. We write songs about it. Sometimes painfully, sometimes not so. But for sure, we are consciously trying not to sound cheesy. And we try not to use the word “forever”. Yeah, we’re scared of that word. But, hey, we write about love."

Avon Kohl Eyeliner Review

PRO's

it's creamy
can be easily smudge
affordable
smooth and lightweight
comes in different colors

Cons:

doesn't last long
badly shaped (too wide)
it isn't well pigmented
bad packaging

The best thing about Avon's Kohl eye liner is that it's very affordable. You can always avail one without emptying your pocket. It's really creamy making it very easy to smudge. Creating a smoky eye effect comes very handy with this product, it glides easily and doesn't feel heavy.

When I received the product I am instantly disappointed. I don't get why it's shape like that,it's too wide, try to imagine what will you do once it's through in the middle. You'll probably think of a smudge brush, but for me that seems very inconvenient.You can't always have a smudge brush with you. Another thing is that it doesn't last long. The eye liner comes with a plastic cap, the idea of it being with a cap is good, but the thing is it's too hard to open it that mostly, you'll end up scrapping away a portion of your eye liner. whatawaste!

After 2 hours of applying it on my lids, it's almost gone so I need to re-apply it again. It's advertisements perpetually boast of it's ultra rich color,that's probably true, I love the colors but it isn't very well pigmented. You have to glide it over and over again to make the colors visible.

If you're gonna ask me if I'm buying it again, I don't know. Maybe yes,maybe not. I think Avon have to do something about this product. Some improvements perhaps? If you're curious about the product and try it on first hand, you can always avail one for yourself and give your own judgement.

Metamorphosis (Make-up Guide)

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.

The old woman make-up is the easiest to decide. You only need to work on heavy contours and highlights. If possible, you may erase the person's eyebrows by using glue sticks or you may use matte gray eye shadows to color her eyebrows. A matte nude lipstick is the most appropriate lip color.

Creating the witch look is very challenging. Aside from make-up, you also need prosthetics to achieve a perfect witch look. You will need it for the witch's nose and chin. If you do not have any prosthetics with you, you may create your's using tissue papers and glue. A combination of deep red and black lipstick will help you create a bolder evil look. In contouring the witch's face, you only need to do the same pattern as the old woman's, the only difference is your choice of colors. For the witch's look, a combination of black and brown colors is better.
