A gift box from ETUDE HOUSE landed on my doorstep to welcome in 2017! It's their new Play 101 Blending Pencil. Well, at least it is new for me. It's been a while since I took a hard look at Etude launches and I'm glad they're back in my line of sight.

Happy Thursday, loves! Two more days and it's weekend! I can't wait! I plan on asking the husband to go out on a date and grab some sumptuous Thai cuisine. I've been craving Pad Thai and Name Prik for weeks now! It could be the pregnancy that's making me crave more or that I'm getting sick of being stuck at home. With my belly growing bigger and bigger by the day, my movements have become extremely limited.

But enough of this preggy talk, let me show you one of my recent beauty discoveries, Happy Skin Feeling Sculptactular Face Contour Kit.

So what if we don't have chiseled cheekbones, smaller jawlines and straighter nose? That's perfectly okay! There's always contouring and highlight to save us for days we feel bloated and puffy. It's one of the things I love about makeup. The quick fix it does for us. This favorite makeup technique is basically playing with light and shade around our face. When we do our makeup, apply our foundation, our faces tend to become flat, losing it's dimension. Contour and highlight brings it back.

Let me share my knowledge on this technique. C'mon! Let's explore the beauty of contouring and highlighting!

Rihanna is on a roll! I don't think she has ever stopped entertaining us with her great music and undeniable talent since her first hit single! And we just continue to be enthralled! And now we get to see her live! But first, let me share with you some simple ways you can get her look and impress her as she sings live to you on September 19, 2013 at SM Mall of Asia Arena!


Rihanna's known for her sexy moves, nightangle voice and her foxy foxy fashion choices. Add to that she always have the best makeup looks. She rocks them as well as her songs. :) But what she's known for is rocking a deep red lipstick and smokey  eyes and bone structure contoured to perfection.

Step 1: Smoothen and even out your skintone. Rockingg a deep red lipatick and chocolate brown smokey eyes doesn't look good with blemishes and pigmentation.
Step 2: Pat it down with a translucent powder to keep your face matte.
Step 3: Contour your cheek bones and highlight the highest planes of your face.
Step 3: Groom brows. Make sure it's the best match for your hair
Step 4: Smoke up that eyes. Make it easier for you by using a golden brown eye makeup palette like the one above. Here's a simple tutorial you might want to try.
Step 5: Line the lash line and apply loads of mascara, falsies even.
Step 6: Apply that deep red lipstick and feel like Rihanna does, gorgeous and fabulous!

New Ellana Sheer Natural Mineral Bronzers

Ellana has come up with two new bronzers that is very natural, matte and great for everyday wear.



City Roast is a matte deep reddish brown that is great for those with pink undertones. This will blend well with your blushes with pink hues.

Light Roast is a deep brown matte that is great for those with yellow undertones. This will blend well with your blushes with orange and peach tones.

Both bronzers are great for contouring the face because of their matte finish. Its also easy to blend using a good contouring brush much like Ellana's so use sparingly. :) You can shade in more for your late night partying. :)



Finally, contouring with mineral makeup (with no shimmer worries) is possible! :)

Soon i'll be posting some FOTD's with me sporting these shades. :)

much love,
Shen

First off, I would like to thank Gracie again for the Urban Decay Book of Shadows. I am so blessed to get this as a gift from her. :)

I was hung over but still had to go to a sorority sister's dirty thirty party late in the evening. I'm glad a I went because I missed those girls so much. Being with them brings that law school mojo back in little ways... but nah.. i'm happy where i am right now. Also, going out to party gives me a chance to get a little wild with my makeup looks.

I chose green eye look because of the top I was wearing I had since highschool! Yes, since highschool! LOL! I'm glad it still fits (but its stetchable anyway!). My tummy though was embosed! hahaha!!!!

Used mostly the greens on the palette... :)


no mascara yet.. :) hehehe ( i forgot to put in on before taking a pic)






i don't look sexy here at all!! hahahaha!!


I'm just hippin' with my MAC HK Strayin' lipstick. :)


with friends and their dates. :)


enjoying my margarita c/o atty. laids


just enjoyin a smoke outside the bar. :)

I'm too much in love with my MUFE HD Foundation, MAC MSF in Medium Plus and MAC Concealers (especially when I go out at night). :) It totally erased my skin's redness, blemishes and udereye baggies.. :) I do have big bumps on the chin though that needs more concealing but they are hardly noticeable unless it's focused.. :) it's so red like tomatoes but it still lessened with these great products.. :)

Did you notice the contouring? I hope you did.. :) that's because of Dollface Contour palette. This stuff works!! :) I love how my cheekbones were defined without making it look so..... exaggerated. :)

The MAC Grand Duo Mineral blush give a great mauve glow, don't you think so? :)

In my opinion, It pays to buy these products!

much love,
Shen
