Today's makeup is grunge/smokey inspired. I will be posting the instructions, but I might make an updated post with pictures. 

Also, I'm still not yet allowed to shave my brows ;( (persuading mom next year...)

Getting that femme fatale look. FIERCE! RAWR!

Instructions:

1. Apply primer to key points of the face (nose, lids, cheeks, chin, forehead).

2. Start with the eyes. Apply 6 all over the lids. 

3.Blend out the harsh edges by using 7 with a fluffy brush. 

4.Then, apply 12 on the outer v. Adjust the intensity to your liking, just keep in mind to BLEND. 

5.Lastly, pat on 8 as highlight and as a pop of color. Adjust the colors accordingly.

6. Line your eyes, make a cat eye.

It must look like this! :)

7. Do the base. Apply concealer on problem areas and dark circles only.

8. Apply the cream contour on the hollows of cheeks then thoroughly blend. Apply nose shadow if you want.

9. Set the concealer with pressed foundation and the contour with the powdered bronzer.

10. Apply lipstick accordingly.

DONE!

If you can notice, I don't really like wearing blush and mascara :) But you can always apply those if you want! Just tone down the blush.

Hope you like this look!

INLOVE: Loreal Color Riche Star Matte Reds Collection Lipstick

I remember I first saw this product on a Cosmopolitan article and I was immediately head over heels with its color. I saved the picture of it and sent it my makeup amigas (yes, by God's grace I've met two beautiful girls in my school who are addicted to makeup like me). When they saw it, they were like, "Girl, bilin mo na! Ang ganda!" So I did.

I got this pic from the internet :)

It belongs to the wine color family. Some say it's a dupe for MAC Diva, but I think this is the "lighter" version of it. The MAC one has a dark undertone, kinda vampy color (similar to NYX's Matte Lip Cream in Copenhagen). This lipstick's hue is kind of reddish violet, but the red is more overpowering. 

Apologies for this picture...I will update this as soon as I get a new picture with this lippie on. But I hope you get my point!

What I like about this is that this is NOT drying for me... I mean, I always put lip balm on my lips before applying lipstick. It applies smoothly on your lips, unlike some matte lipsticks that I own (psst, Rubywoo.).

Loving it.

When some of the product wears off, I like that it leaves a "stain" on your lips.

*smooch* I love you!

Also, this is really cheap! I researched for its price and I discovered that when it was newly released, it was marked Php675 but then it marked down on Php400. But would you believe if I tell you that I only bought this for Php300? Please do, because I did! As I was readying my money, the salesgirl told me that it's Php300 nalang. 

Key Points: -solid color
                   -applies seamlessly
                   -leaves a "stain" when it wears off
                   -easily accessible at department stores (Loreal                        counters)
                   -VERY AFFORDABLE
  

Verdict: This lipstick is has a GREAT color payoff, EASILY ACCESSIBLE, and CHEAP. I would absolutely BUY ANOTHER when it runs out, considering its great quality and cheap price. A "good catch" indeed! :)

I hope this helps you in your next makeup conquest!

Mini Makeup Haul

'Tis the season! Advanced Merry Christmas!

Alrighty. So recently I went to the mall and I've bought some makeup/essentials. I only bought 3 items hence the title "mini makeup haul" :).

Firstly, I got this ChapStick in the normal variant. I've been meaning to buy my own lipbalm since I'm slaving off on my petroleum jelly. I saw this on the shelf and I immediately took a hold of it.

Second, I got this elf Contouring Blush & Bronzing Cream. I actually have the powder variant of this product, but since I'm dying to try the cream contour fad, I decided to buy this and try it first. I've also seen this being used by a Youtube makeup guru and I really liked the outcome of her face when she used it.

Last but definitely not the least, the Loreal Color Riche Star Matte Reds in Pure Garnet. I've been LOVING this. I might make a post about this product alone. Please stay tuned :)

Aaand that's it folks. That's the end of my mini haul. Please stay tune for more of my posts!
