Face of the Day: Create a V

I don't know if most of you have notice but I don't usually go for a dark / smokey eyes. Maybe because I'm not that comfortable with the dark? That doesn't sound good. Let's just say I have not mastered how to create smokey eyes. If you have any tips, let me know! I want to learn a thing or two. I was going out to attend KRAVE 1st anniversary event and I decided to just go with a smooth finish & simple make up.

EYES:

Bootycall from Naked 2 palette on inner corners and browbone

AVON eyeshadow duo in Rust on crease area

Busted from Naked 2 palette eyeshadow on corner

Face of the Day: Nude Lips

This look was sponsored by Ate Cindy's birthday gift for me. She's the elder sister of Agatha. Agatha also got the same palette I have. Hers is leaning more on the neutral side while mine is more likely to be used for the Smokey eyes effect. Anyway, let's move on to what I came up with the gift.

Oh yes, I am awkwardly smiling in this shot yet again. Why can't I just have a  nice and happy smile where it doesn't look weird?

Face of the Day: Hide those Eyebags

Pardon the same shirt of this picture. I am currently loving this shirt that's why I keep on wearing this whenever we go to Tagaytay. It's actually a long sleeves cotton shirt which keeps me comfortable in cold weather. Anyway, let's move on with my face of the day. There isn't much about this look, but I don't know if you could see. the colors I used are quite showy.

OOTD : Pink shirt & red lips

We're waiting a call from my uncle what time he'll be arriving at the airport from  Norway so I decided to prepare in case he'll arrive in a couple of hours. I used the Power Perfection BB cream sample from The Face Shop that I bought at Ortigas and here's how it turned out.

I don't know if I did that good but I felt it's just enough for a daytime look. After having my moisturizer, I had my ELF all over cover stick just to conceal some blemishes then I applied the BB cream and set it with my Clean and Clear Pressed Powder in Natural. I love this pressed powder and I've been using it for years now because it helps control my oilyness and it hadn't given me any breakout since then. After the Powder I proceeded with the make up.

This is the first time I used a slanted brush and a black eyeshadow to create a wing effect as my liner. Actually, I'm not used to having a winged liner because I always don't get them look similar. White eyeshadow on the lids and brown eyeshadow on the crease using my Fashion21 eyeshadow brushes and that's it. These days I always use my HengFang Mascara, I love how it volumizes my lashes because I have very fine lashes. I wonder if it shows in the pictures but I did use a blush from Avon Smooth Minerals and highlighter from Miners. After that, I used red lipstick just to complete the look. Tell me how I did here? Ok lang ba? ;)

HENGFANG: Volume Glamour Mascara

I'm looking for an alternative for another mascara that would always be easy to use because I just have my Nichido Mascara which has 2 ends. One with the base that is white and the other one which is black that has a lengthening power. Anyway, I found a review by Eloisa about Hengfang Beauty Angel Cosmetics. That's why when I saw a Hengfang mascara from a store at Starmall Alabang, it immediately caught my attention so I said, why not try it.


Here's what the package looks like. It has a long name actually, HENGFANG Volume Glamour 3x Lash Multiplying Effect. I just got the one in color black because I wouldn't risk my lashes to be colored blue or even brown which is also available. Anyway, when I checked the bristles it isn't the same as the normal mascaras that I see. This one has a flexible wand and it's bristles are plastic. I can't remember which Youtube Make up guru made a review about a high end mascara which is exactly like this Hengfang mascara but I'm pretty sure there is someone. Anyway, I found a review of Urban Decay Skyscraper Multi-Benefit Mascara . I think you will find this helpful in comparing because, I'm telling you "it's kinda same for me."

What I love about this is it really gives my lashes the volume it needs. My lashes are really short and just has thin strands so this kind of mascara is like a heaven sent for me. I'm so glad I've tried this one even at first I'm kinda hesitant because it is just 69pesos but I'm glad that I've read that blog KIKAYSIMARIA about a Hengfang product. Anyway here's a picture of my lashes after applying this product. Ahaha, I barely even have lashes on lower lashline. That's how scarce my lashes are. ;))

Do you want to know why I love this so much? It doesn't smudge. Proof? When you wash it with water, it doesn't easily comes off. You have to pinch on your lashes to remove the mascara or use a make up remover. BTW, it comes off after washing your face with soap and/or facial wash. It's like your taking of a coat of your lashes. Here's what it looks like when it comes off.
