Making Mattes Work

On my vanity tray: - Missha BB Cream - Natural Rice Dual Foundation - Nyx blush in Angel - Maybelline Baby Lips - Please Me by Mac I am so happy that I was finally able to make Please Me work despite the very dry formula. I disliked it during the first few times I used it but I came across a blog post that suggested using lip balm before and AFTER applying the lipstick. It totally worked and still managed to last long on my lips. I can finally make the most out of my other matte lipsticks. I’ll try the same trick with my Nars Catfight next time.

Faking Sleep

We all attended Clarice’s family day at St. Paul College. We had to start preparing at 6am despite arriving home late last night so I need to brighten my look despite the lack of sleep. Because I am still in love with MAC Pleasure Bomb, I used it again today with Nars Dolce Vita. This blush looks dark in the pan but is very subtle on the cheeks. I used my usual L’Oreal Lucent Magique Foundation topped with Revlon PhotoReady Two-Way Powder Foundation to make it last longer. Finally, I used Guerlain Meteorites Perles as finishing powder.

Just Another Day

The Vitamin E lipbalm from The Body Shop does a good job in priming my lips for the semi-matte finish of Nars Funny Face lipstick. The light pink shade of TheBalm Downboy blush compliments the lip color. Lovely eyebrow pencil from The Face Shop is one of my favorites that I’m on my 3rd one already. Also, I lost my Ultem eyeglasses recently (sigh) so I’m using one from Mui Mui. Unfortunately, it’s not as light as my Ultem. Sadness.
