Celebrity style: buline

Ca si dungile sau carourile, bulinele sunt motive care revin constant in moda.
Sweet si retro, imprimeurile cu buline sunt in acest moment preferate de Rihanna, care a ales o salopeta colorata din pre-colectia de toamna de la D&G. Din aceeasi colectie Sara Rue a optat pentru o rochie.
Bulinele sunt si pe placul viitoarei mamici, Christina Applegate, care a imbracat o rochie Valentino.
Allessandra Torresani si Lauren Conrad au preferat combinatia alb-negru pentru tinute a la anii '50.

Face It: Smokey Eye with MAC

Hey yah! How's your weekend? I and hubby are supposed to have a long weekend somewhere in South because Monday is holiday in celebration of the National Heroes Day. But tomorrow would be a very busy Monday for us coz we have clients in line for tomorrow. You know, in nature of our work, the holidays meant to be a working day sometimes but of course, Holy Week, Christmas and New Years Eve is exempted. Oh c'mon, give us some break. Lols!

So, today we just stayed at home and prepared some documentation and contracts for tomorrow's appointment. Hubby did some of the laundry and I spent my time doing my FOTD, lols! FOTD means Face of the Day hehehe. Oh yeah, I did some make-up (I'm still trying hard to be good in doing Smokey eye make-up) and did a little bit of pictorial with my hubby as my poging photographer.

Honestly, I still cannot perfect the blending on my eyes but please bear with me hehehe. I did a Smokey eye make-up using the following:

 Oh, I forgot to include in this photo the Blusher I used (I used Bobbi Brown in Pink Clay) and the Maybelline Eyeliner in Kohl.

The tutorial below is my simple steps in achieving this Smokey eye look yet simple which can also wear during daytime.

Step 1.

Always start with a clean face. I washed my face with Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Facial Wash and applied Clean & Clear Facial Toner for toning my face. Then, I pumped-out an ample amount of BB Cream and spread evenly onto my face and onto neck using my forefinger. The result would be whitish at first but don't worry because after a minute, it will set onto your face like your natural complexion.

Etude House BB Magic Cream in Refreshing

Price: P600+ (I forgot the exact price)

Available in Etude House - Megamall

Step 2.

After the BB Magic Cream sets onto your face, set it with a powder. I am using a Rice Powder. Ewww... I have an oil-mine kasi eh, lols!

Natural Oil-Absorbing Rice Powder

Natural RP06

Price: P350? Yeah, I think so..

Available in all Beauty Bar stores.

Step 3. 

 I have thick eye brows. I used only a brow powder to soften it.

Maybelline BrowDefinist by EYESTUDIO

02 Brown

Price: P299? Hmm... I forgot.

Available in all Maybelline counters nationwide.

Step 4.

I applied an Eye shadow Base to make the eye shadow's color very vibrant. Also this base will make the eye shadow stay longer on your lid. Apply it onto your eyelid up to your brow bone.

I used NYX Eye shadow Base

Skin tone

Price: P360.00

Available from online reseller.

Step 5.

Using my MAC Quad Eyeshadow, I applied the Garcon Gray onto my eyelid in tapping motion.

MAC Quad in TEASE ME...

Garcon Gray/ Bistro/ Parisienne/ Seedy Pearl

Price: I don't know coz this was just a gift from a client.

Available locally.

Step 6. 

I applied the Seedy Pearl in the middle of my eyelid just to highlight my lid a little bit. 
Then, I applied the Bistro in the outer V moving inward. Then, use a blending brush to soften the hard edges. I tried to have more depth by adding more of Bistro especially the outer V.

 Highlight your eyes. Using NYX in High light eye shadow, applied it in your upper lid up to the brow bone and also in the inner side of your lid.

NYX Single Eye Shadow

Shade: High light

Price: P360.00

Available from online reseller.

Step 7.

Define your lash line using a Liquid Eyeliner in Black. Then, curl your lashes and coat it 2-times with mascara always.

IN2IT Mascara in Black.

IN2IT Liquid Eye Liner in Black.

Price: P399 (package of 2)

Available in all IN2IT counters nationwide.

If you're doing Smokey eye, applying the dark eye shadows need not to be perfect. Coz you will tone down the hard edges later by using a blending brush. Always remember, blend, blend, blend! Then, you can always soften everything by putting tiny high light in the corner of your eyes and putting a bit in the edge of your brow bone. Tight line your lower lash line using black eyeliner.

Apply this in the corner of the eyes and edge of your brow bone. 

NYX Single Eye Shadow

Shade: White Pearl

Price: P360.00

Available from online reseller.

Step 8.

Don't forget to put your Blush-on.

Bobbi Brown Blush

Shade: Pink Clay

Price: I don't know. I got this as gift from a client.

Available locally.

Step 9.

Smokey eye is perfect look with a nude lips... So, catch your nude lipsticks now!
(Sorry for those 2 front teeth... ganyan na talaga yan hehe)

I used:

NYX round lipstick.

Shade: Ceto

Price: P160.00

Available from online reseller.

That's it!

 Yes, I know. I never look good in close-up photos ever. Lols!
But here's the far semi-close up taken by my hubby. I edited this photo to give soft focus on my face. Buti na lang maganda ang anggulo na nakuha hehehe.

After my almost 45 minute's ceremony, I came out with this result.

That's how I spent my weekend with my hubby. Hope this post is again worth reading.

Stay tuned.

XX,

Nail Of The Week: Sexy Bloody Red Nails

I don't feel making any new nail art yet. I thought I cannot skip a week not making nail arts but I survive it, lols! Last week, I took out from the drawer my vanity bag where I put all my nail polishes. If a polish is quite old to my eyes, I segregate it to the other box. I'm not the type of getting rid of stuffs and throwing it away if I haven't using for quite sometime. I have the attitude of keeping kikay stuffs in a place and checking it after sometime. Looking at all my kakikayan stuffs is also my other way of de-stressing hehehe.

Last week, when I was checking my nail polishes, I realized that I have a lot of nail polishes that I haven't tried and used ever yet since the day I purchased those. I picked 4 colors and tried them on to each of my finger nails. I was surprised because all of it looked good on my nails. Of course, my hubby is always there to judge what will look good on me. He's the best judge ever! Then, I decided to go for a Plum Wine of L.A. Colors as my judge advised.

Always clean your nails. Use a pusher to refresh the natural texture of your nails and also to take out some polish that aren't been removed. Then, use a nipper to cut out those hanging nails. Brush it after or just rinse it soap and water so that if you will apply the nail polish, it will glide on smoothly.

After applying the Plum Wine onto my nails, I really love the results. It made my hands fairer and... SEXY. Yes, I feel like I'm so sexy hehehe.

(Be noted that the following photos below, my skin is quite lighter compare to the photos above due to adjustment of camera flash.) 
 

I'm just feeling grateful of having my hubby. His taste never go wrong so far, well, just my opinion.

When I've already done this, there were a lot of things that crossed into my mind. Red colors are really sexy. When I was a kid, I used to see my Mom wearing a red lipstick. I sometimes tote around with her vanity bag and played with her lipsticks and tried applying it onto my lips which she would always told me not to because I'm still young. My Mom would always say that those stuffs are for big girls or mature girls only. Also I consider the word make-up before as the lipstick only; I don't even know there are eye shadows, pencils, foundation, & etc.

When I was in my high school, then that I've learned a lot about girl stuffs. I've turned-out to be more maarte na since my Mom enrolled me in a Catholic School exclusively for girls only. I remember before, there is a time that I didn't go to school just because I ran out of my favorite Johnson's & Johnson's cologne. Hahaha so silly of me thinking my classmates would smell me. I'm just being so paranoid before. Anyway, so much for remembering those days because I'm getting obvious of my age hehehe.

This shot reminds me a movie I've seen... it's a Crime/ Thriller movie. A girl found lying in the floor with so much blood all over... and found dead. 

And this shot reminds me of a girl whom you have thought you can trust but later you'll found out; she's a traitor. Hahaha!

I would always make it with my toe nails done. I feel incomplete if I don't do both my hands and toes. I'd rather leave it bare than seeing it not completely polished.

Okay, I hope this post is worth reading. Stay tuned. P.S. I think I have to grab a red lipstick. I don't own one now.

XX,

Jenniya
