What's On My Make-up Bag? + SummerCollab Giveaway Winner


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

Samantha































































































Samantha
photographer/MUA:
yours truly

model:
Mel Samantha Latoza

A classic inspired photoshoot with my best friend Sam. No more leaks and a less drama is the inspiration for this quick photoshoot. You'll never know what happens when you let two bored girls talk, especially when they're best friends!

Tried experimenting with available online photo editors again and again, I am not disappointed with the results.

Can't wait to shoot and experiment more.
Well, what do you guys think about the photos?

~love lots,

Fatal Petals









































"Good artists copy, great artists steal." 
-Pablo Picasso
    Inspired by Grace Ciao I couldn't help myself to make my own version. I have always been a frustrated fashion designer. Given the chance I would have chose to study fashion or anything related to arts,but because of certain circumstances I didn't chose to. Besides, I have to make a more practical choice as I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. What motivated me most in making them is my my never ending love for flowers. I grew up with flowers and was fed by flowers (my father is a florist).
    What I did was very mediocre though, so shameful to be compared to hers but I hope you enjoy them.

love lots,
Tin

What is #HYPERCEBU?
HyperCebu is a volunteer-ran event that highlights Cebuano culture, Lifestyle & the people that makes it one of the best cities in the world.

HYPER CEBU is not just an event. It's not a just brand.

Hyper Cebu is a community. It is a volunteer-ran event that highlights Cebuano culture, Lifestyle and the people that makes it one of the best cities in the world. it will not just be for party goers, not just for Indie people, not just for Rock-and-rollers but it is for EVERYONE.

2014 summer brought so many things to be hyper about. I couldn't say that this is the best summer I ever had but this is definitely one of the best. It is true that some beautiful things have to end. Summer and love are no exception. I always look forward to more beginnings but to welcome any of it, I need to accept that some things should end. That's the funny thing about beginnings, it requires something to end. I love the freedom this summer had given me but on some nights I ache for a secured pasture. 
   Beaches will be sad again with salt, the summer sun may give way for the rain to fall, some love needs to go.
June arrives and just like that summer's gone. I'm glad I took some of my time to get hyper with the summer air.
