After such a long time, I finally had time to play with my makeup again. This is a very simple look perfect for a dinner date.


I first applied the olive green eyeshadow from my loreal quad in landscape palette and just applied the moss green eyeshadow from my elf quad in luxe in the outer corner of my eyes bringing it up towards the crease area. I just blended it to remove harsh edges, then applied a matte white eyeshadow on my brow bone area. I applied the lightest color from my elf quad in luxe palette on the inner corners to brighten my eye.

I also applied the same color seen step 3 to my lower lash line to give a slightly smokey effect.  Then, I lined my upper lash line with the elf cream eyeliner in black before I applied mascara.


I just added false eyelashes in order to add more drama the eyes. Don't forget to blend your eye shadows well to remove harsh edges. I decided to tie my hair and made a side bun since I'm going for a more classy look.

Until next time.

I've tried several ELF products already especially those on the Essentials line simply because they're just a dollar each. I just happen to pick up the ELF Healthy Bronzing Powder in Luminance a few months ago because I needed a good highlighter. So here's my thoughts on this.

The New Year 2012 is coming and we want to celebrate it with our dear readers. What better way to start the New Year than a Giveaway! Khymm of Shopcoholic for Makeup and I are doing a collaboration giveaway for all the ladies here in the Philippines.

Cheerios!

I've been buying a lot of makeup stuff recently, simply because I needed it for my clients. I've been so busy with makeup gigs ever since December started.  I'm grateful that a lot of ladies contacted me to do their hair and makeup and now all my December weekends are fully booked! (thank you Lord). Which explains why I haven't updated my blog as much as I used to.

Now on to the good stuff...

I've been MIA for a couple weeks now and I almost forgot that my early Christmas Giveaway just ended. LOL! I have so many things in store for you ladies, been planning to do a couple of YouTube videos but I just couldn't get around to it. Been so busy these past few weeks because of work and makeup gigs. whew! okay, I'll stop blabbing now.  And the winner is....

I've been wanting to make a review on this particular foundation for a while now, but I just had to use it more. I already finished using two shades of the Maybelline Clear Smooth All in One Shine Free Foundation, one is in Sand Beige and the other one is in Honey. So, here's what I think about this product.



* inexpensive, I like the fact that it has refills.
* no strong scent
* cute pink packaging, it's very light too.
* the size is about the size of your palm, so the mirror is bigger
* the texture is very soft and fine, but not chalky
* blends out easily
* doesn't feel heavy on face, it's breathable and  lightweight
* very good coverage, evens out my skin really well
* stays long, it started to fade after 5 hours (note that I work on an air-conditioned office)
* it doesn't cake even when I sweat under the heat of the sun
* has SPF 25 with PA++
* no irritation, allergies or breakouts experienced
* the pressed powder is very brittle so I have to be very careful. It fell once, and the powder started to crack and it has been falling one by one so I emptied out the product too soon.
* this is for dry use only, it is not the same as a two-way cake

My rating: 4 / 5

I think this is a good powder foundation considering the really affordable price.  The refills are a definitely a plus. I like the over all packaging of this foundation, especially the size of the mirror and sponge that came with it.  It is especially formulated for oily skin individuals so it really does a good job with keeping your oils at bay. I would definitely recommend this.  I hope it works well for you like it did for me.

Until next time.

Cheerios!
