Easter FOTD

Easter Sundays have never really been big in my family. We actually haven't celebrated it for a while but today they actually came over for lunch. And of course, we had filipino style pot-luck (plus lasagna, random I know right?). The strawberry shortcake from this bakery called Lazar was mouth watering though. Yummm. Anyway, this is my FOTD. I hope you guys had an awesome Easter. :)

FOTD: Pinkish Purple with Yellow-Gold

The weather was absolutely horrid today and has been this entire week. It has made me a bed potato because I hate having to deal with the rain when I'm out to have fun, especially since I take the public transit. As in I would sleep from 4AM to 1:30Pm. Eat. Shower. Laptop/TV until 6pm. Eat. Sleep from 9pm to 2am. Lol that is a complete disastrous schedule isn't it? Anyway, I was bored so I did my makeup with some stuff I reunited with after I cleaned up my makeup drawers. You know when you end up using the same stuff everyday and some good products end up in the very back of your drawer? I'd hate to keep them dusted so here ya go!

To be honest, I had to photoshop this one because I've gotten a few breakouts due to the reason that I am a girl and every girl suffers once a week per month. (Hopefully you know what I'm talking about.. lol).

Products used

Face (notice the ridiculous number of products used for my face because I tried using a technique I read from this book. I forget the name, something All About Faces. It says to put cream blushes and cream highlighters first then concealer then foundation. I then set it with the powder and the Booster then put the powder blush and powder highlighter.) :

• Rimmel Fix & Perfect Primer
  
• ELF All over cover stick in Light Beige
• Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation
• Maybelline Dream Matte powder in Medium 3-4
• Rimmel Sun Shimmer Shimmering Maxi Bronzer in Sun Love (contouring)
• ELF All Over Color Stick in Persimmon (Cream pinkish highlighter)
• ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Luminance (highlighter on top of above product)
• ELF Mineral Booster in Sheer
• MAC Joie de Vivre Cremeblend Blush
• NARS Orgasm Blush
• MAC Fix+

Eyes (I forgot to take a picture of the colours I used from the palette but it's basically the darker gold mixed with a yellow):

• ELF Mineral Eyeshadow Primer
• Urban Decay in Last Call (pinkish purple on crease. Not photographed because it is still drying. Read previous previous post to know why.)
• Manly 120 Eyeshadow palette (golden yellow on lid)
• Rimmel Colour Rush Quad Eye Shadow in 002 Smokey Brun (brow highlight)
• Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Hazel
• NYC Liquid Eyeliner (HATE this one. Just using it up now... The handle's too long to manoeuvre and the formula flakes. As in I could feel the crackiness once it's dried.)
• Rimmel London Eye Magnifier Eye Opening Mascara in Black
• Annabelle Kohl Eyeliner in White (waterline)

Lips:

• NYC Ultra Moist Lipwear in 308B Retro Red (I only dabbed it a bit to get a lip stained effect)
• Annabelle Le Gloss l/g in Icy Ginger

Then a final spritz of Fix+ and voila!

Pastel Eyes

I got bored so I ended up playing with makeup again yay. :) I love love loveeee pastels. ♥ PS. I kinda forgot to mention which brushes I used but they were Ecotools Foundation Brush, Sigma SS168, ELF Powder Brush, ELF eyeshadow brush, ELF contouring brush, Sigma SS266, and Sigma SS275, and Sigma SS194 PPS. I've been super sick the past couple of days so don't mind the uber dry nose.

These are all the products that I used.

Face Products:

From Top (L-R): Rimmel Fix & Perfect Foundation Primer, Revlon Photoready in 006 Medium Beige mixed with 009 Rich Ginger, Covergirl Fresh Complexion in Natural Beige, NYC Powder Blush in 651C Riverside Rose, NYC Powder Blush in 656C Sutton Place Peach, Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Honey (Medium 3-4), MAC MSF in Medium Deep.
My application: Primed with Rimmel, concealed with Covergirl (undereyes and wherever else needed). Squirted a full pump of Revlon Rich Ginger and added a half pump of Medium Beige. Using Ecotools Foundation brush, I mixed the two together. I applied the foundation from my nose and inner of my face and blended outwards. I set it with Mabybelline Powder and MAC MSF. I added dimension to my face with the MAC MSF (so the hollows of my cheeks when you do the fishy face, my temples, and chin. With the Sigma SS 168, I applied NYC Riverside Rose and lightened it with the Sutton Place Peach.

Eye Products:

L-R: ELF Mineral Eyeshadow Primer, Annabelle Smoothliner in Black, Rimmel Brow Pencil in 002 Hazel, L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara Carbon Black, Manly 120 Eyeshadow Palette (from eBay), Benefit Creaseless Eyeshadow in Recess, Rimmel Colour Rush Quad Eye Shadow in 002 Smokey Brun, MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
Not in picture: False Eyelashes from eBay #112

The colours I used:

I used tape to make that perfect cat-like line.
Lids: Both from top palette: I spayed my palm with Fix+ and I dampened my ELF eyeshadow brush then -> (1,3) mixed with (1,4) - kinda extended it to a line
Crease: From bottom palette : ELF contouring brush; (4,2) in inner crease, (4,8) mixed with (4,9) and (5,5); (5,1) in outer line
Under the bottom lashes: From top palette: Sigma SS194; (3,3) mixed with (3,2) which was too sheer so I ended up using (4,2) instead.
For browbone and inner duct highlight, I used the lightest colour from the Rimmel Quad with Sigma SS 275.
MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack with Sigma SS 266.
Curled my lashes, applied two coats of Telescopic mascara. Then added the falsies.

Lip Producsts:

L-R: Annabelle Le Gloss in Breathless, Rimmel Lasting Finish l/s in 070 Airy Fairy, NYX Round l/s in Summer Love
My application: Rimmel then NYX then Annabelle.

Close up on my lips:
LOL. That hair made it into the picture good job strand of hair! (Y) xD

Hope you guys liked it! Mwah!

makeup update

For my face:

I recently bought St. Ives Moisturizer because I never really put on any moisturizer before but I decided to try it. I read reviews on MUA and they reviewed this one pretty well. Also the price is so cheap so that's another plus. I use it in the morning/before putting up makeup and at night after I wash my face. It "wakes" up my face and it feels nice :)


Then I got the Rimmel Fix & Perfect primer just the other day since my MUFE primer was nada for so long now. It has an orange kind of tint and I was like wtf primers are usually clear right? But it was like 6 bucks so why not? I dont know if it's this product or my face being weird again but my face is sometimes itchy in random spots but anyway I'm gonna try it out for about another week or so and find out.


I use the Physicians Formula Twin Concealer (green and beige)and I really like it because I need both the green (for redness) and beige for blemishes and undereye circles. It never broke me out so that's good. I sometimes use the E.L.F. concealer (I think it's the medium shade) and it smells like oranges (yummm) but the packaging is weird. It's that twisty tube thing and sometimes when I twist it, it doesnt go up but like it comes off idk it's weird but not a biggie. I also sometimes use the Clinique concealer (which I thought was a weird shade of lipstick before haha) and it's really thick but I'm just kinda eery about it since I don't know how old it is. (I think it's been discontinued as well. The picture I put up has different packaging from mine... maybe I shouldn't use it anymore lol...)



Then my Revlon Colortstay foundation in Natural Tan. I bought a new foundation brush because the E.L.F. one I got is horrible after a while. It's like stiff now and you're better off blending with your hands. I got the Ecotools Bamboo Foundation brush which I LOVE LOVE LOVE! It's super soft and super easy to blend foundation with. It's also organic so yayyy! :)
