Date Makeup: Smudged Liner with Purple Lips (Video)
I was inspired by one of the makeup looks Cher Lloyd wore on her 'Want You Back (UK Version)' music video.
Of course, I look nothing like her but I find her so gorgeous in this video that I couldn't help but try and emulate her makeup.

Repost: FaceShop's 4-Minute Smoky Eyes (Video)
Hey guys!
So, I was lolling around the house yesterday when I decided to compile the photos of my FaceShop's Smoky Eye post into a video.
Here you go, I hope you like the updated format :)

Quick Share: The Marilyn Monroe Collection From MAC
A predictable, almost redundant statement: I love Marilyn Monroe.
I know there are some you who might be getting tired of her with all the media exposure she's been getting this year - the critically-acclaimed 'My Week with Marilyn', endless/recycled stories about her life and death, a number of magazine covers (case in point: Vanity Fair's May 2012 issue) and amazingly enough, MM-themed businesses are also slated to come out, proving that these black suits still believe her name can lure in profits up to this day.
But whether you like it or not, these are true testaments that even half a century after her death, the world remains fascinated by her fame, beauty, sex and the vulnerability of her life and mysterious demise.
Now, MAC joins in on the spectacle with its Marilyn Monroe collection. Of course, this is no news since it came out in the States early this month. But for us living on the other end of the globe, this collection just hit stores last Saturday, the 20th of October.
I knew that there was gonna be a long queue for the launch, as with every other collection MAC comes out with. So, I had asked a very reliable person to get a number as soon as the mall opens at 10am so my slot would be guaranteed when they start selling the goodies at three in the afternoon.
But when I got there around 3:15, the host told me I was late and had to fall in line. Damn. Apparently, they started the program an hour earlier!
My first thoughts were: Reliability is a myth! Misinformation kills!
Anyway, I instantly calmed down after noticing that the line was quite short so, I begrudgingly went ahead and queued up.

PREVIEW Bench Muses Inspired Look - Bordeaux Lips (Video)
Deep red-wine lips are everywhere - from the runways to TV shows and even on the glossy pages of fashion magazines.
One great example is Preview magazine's October edition, where its gorgeous cover girls are rocking bold, dark lips.
I
decided to do my version of the look but toned it down just enough to
be wearable on a regular day- minimal eye makeup, well-defined brows
with dark plummy lips.

Wedding Series: Pegs, Gowns, Designer Lust, etc
He asked. I said yes.
Then, everything falls perfectly into place, happily ever after and all that stuff, right? Not Really.
It occurred to me that first of all, I need to check my lazy ass at the door and get organized fast! And Oh. My. Gawd. the list of suppliers we need to book is daunting. It's like a spoiled, rich girl's credit card bill - it just goes on and on.
Nobody told me I need to break a sweat before I get my fairy tale ending! Lols
But kidding aside, I've decided to start a series dedicated to my wedding - from the church down to the souvenirs. I believe writing down my ideas would really help me gain a solid grasp on the preparations as well as maybe help those of you who are also planning for the big day.
