FOTD: Light Makeup for Beach Wedding

Another FOTD! Your kind, encouraging comments on the first FOTD I posted have a good effect on me. I feel like I want to do better. Last December 17, I was invited to a beautiful beach wedding, the bride was my boyfriend's older sister and a friend since highschool. She has always been so beautiful, but the radiance on her wedding day was unsurpassed. She asked if I could be her Veil Sponsor. It was such an honor that I didn't know what else to do except to say yes. I was expecting just to be a guest, but the change of plans made me scramble to get a decent blue dress (her motif was Tiffany blue long with sunflower yellow but that shade of blue is kind of hard to find.) Here was the look I hastily applied on :( I used a sunscreen to base! You can see what face sunscreen I used here and why I like it! I also just brushed on my trusty Ellana Minerals Oil Absorbing Mineral Powder. I used an Elf Lipstain for my lips and for my eyes, I used the Majolica Majorca Trick-On eyeshadow. ...

FOTD: Light Makeup for Party Look

DECEMBER -- is the month of COMPANY CHRISTMAS PARTIES! And what better way to FORCE me to wear a lot of make up is when the threat of non-conformity incident report is being waved in my face, resulting to future disciplinary actions by the company Admin. Sigh. In any case, here is the party make up look that I created. This is my first FOTD so you can understand the newbie-ness of this. A lot of eyeliner and eyeshadow and I was ready to sit the night away! The best thing about the make up that I wore is that my face was made up in such a way that was breathable, despite the suffocating venue we had and the throngs of people that were there. I had very little to no oiliness, and it is a feat considering the natural tendency of my skin to act up when it's humid and the external factors i.e. suffocating venue. :)) What I wore for my face:  That's Ellana Mineral Espresso Con Pana Oil Absorbing Finishing Powder and the Majolica Majorca Skin Lingerie Face Base. There was no nee...

Products: Eye Stuff from Etude House, San-San and Maybelline

Hi everyone! Today is the day you are going to be bombarded with a lot of images! New camera, hoo~hooey! ~ I'd like to present some of the things that I've been using lately, though sparingly. These are basic things that I've been experimenting on using. I don't usually go out fully made out in terms of makeup day after day, but I do get the chance during Mondays, the only day of the week when we are coerced to wear corporate attire and look presentable. Here are my eye stuff! I find putting on eye makeup a hassle so I don't usually bother :P But I do use this really cute Eyelash Curler from Etude House ! If pink curler handles are not for you, you should stay away. It's very pink! Girly pink like no tomorrow! But it makes for a nice grip and a comfortable hold because the pink coating seems like synthetic rubber. Better that than wringing your fingers on tough metal. :) The eyelash curler is silicone-based, so it's relatively soft yet firm. It's not ha...

Life: Do you keep a diary? Sharing mine.

 Aside from keeping several online blogs like This Late Bloomer , The Contemporary Reader and The Currency of Everything , I keep an actual paper diary that is more updated than all of them combined! Though I have access to the Internet almost 24/7, nothing really beats the feel of a pen tip scribbling over a fresh page of paper. I have a Moleskine diary, which makes writing extra special. I am proud I have one but it's not just because of the brand, but because the paper is just so awesome to write on. Several Moleskin users can attest to it. It makes the experience even more enthralling; especially when it is in stark contrast during these modern times where fingers are flying over the keyboard and electronic fonts, the art of keeping introspective and free-flowing ideas from mind to hand to pen and paper are almost lost. I don't think that my diary is special or anything like that but it's enough for me to record events that I never want to forget. Whether what happened...

Book Wishlist: Einstein's Dreams

I don't have a copy of this though I dearly wish I did. I did read snippets of this in a local bookstore and was so thrilled, excited, so at peace and left wondering. Could this be real? Is time really a circle and a mirror at the same time? Are all choices at all points of time really carried out in different worlds? To learn more information about Einstein’s philosophies and Theories, check out graduate schools online to find modern physics classes that can teach you about Einstein’s theory of relativity and how it affects people in their everyday lives. It is an extravagant but quite wondrous thing, the idea presented in this book. I am just sorry that the book is priced expensively for a small copy but I am saving up for it and I can't wait until I can buy. Have any of you read this already? What did you think?
