All About the Make-up

I've always wanted to create an Effy (Kaya Scodelario from Skins) inspired make-up look. Effy had this one scene in Skins where her eyes just looked so glamorous that I was inspired to redo it. I never had the tools to remake this look before but a week ago I went make-up shopping and I finally bought some really good make-up to create my own inspired look.

Everything I used is basically from Etude House (I've never been this addicted to make-up since Etude House came out). On me are Etude House's: BB Cream (doubled as foundation), Shine up Stick No.1 in White, Petite Darling Eyes in Aqua, Eye Secret in Shiny Black, Proof 10 Auto Pencil Black, and Code B Proof 10 Mascara Strong Smoky in Black. Other brands I used was this make-up palette from an unknown brand (which I used for my blush and powder), and of course, my favorite Faceshop lipstick in Lovely Pink.

The outcome was a bit accurate but next time I think I'd add more eyeshadow to make it darker since the shadow I put on wasnt sufficient for the camera. Also, maybe more black eyeshadow on the lower lid to give it a more grunge effect.

So yes, I THINK this is my last post for now. My trip is this Saturday and I will be gone for a good two weeks. Then another two more weeks after my trip and its time for college! Woowweee time is going by so fast! Well, thats about all for now. Till my next post!

Jean Post

Okay so that wasn't my last post in three weeks. Went out with my family today and I was just ITCHING to wear my new jeans from Forever21 so here they are making a cameo appearance on this post. I'm bringing them to NY so you'll see more of it later on.

So I know I mentioned that I despise wearing jeans but thats only because the jeans here in Manila are so tight and LOW. When I went to Singapore and spotted these ripped jeans, I instantly fell in love with them. More so when I tried them on and they fit PERFECTLY! I was AMAZED because you just dont know how many jeans I've tried here in Manila that never fit well. I was so happy that I finally found a brand that fits perfectly. Cant wait for my trip to the States! Definitely going to stock up on good fitting jeans to wear for school!

Blue Green

This will be my last post in three weeks unless another event comes up before I leave Manila. Sorry I look so haggard but its been really hot lately and these pictures were taken after a long busy day. I really wanted to take these pictures outside but unfortunately the rain stopped me from doing so.

What I Wore: Bayo top, Espada skirt, Forever 21 shoes, Salvatore Ferragamo bag.

So here I am channeling the new blogger-favorite nail color: blue green. It's been on every fashion blogger's site, karen-wheredidugetthat.blogspot.com and stylescrapbook.com to name a few. What can I say, it IS a very eye-catching color.

I also bought a couple of bangles this afternoon to complete the look. In fact, I actually bought a few other accessories that my boyfriend told me to stop. I dont know, but sometimes accessories seem so cheap that you wanna buy them all but when their prices all pile up, it actually equates to a big amount of money! But ah, I barely even have accessories so my boyfriend will have to let it pass this time.

Lovely Day

It was our last day in Singapore today where we did our last minute shopping meaning just minutes before our shuttle from the hotel was leaving for the airport. Good thing our hotel was very near to the mall where we had lunch so it was easy for us to just run it.

On me are the boots I got from New Look which are just amazing. They are my new favorite shoes. Couldnt stop wearing them! I had to wear them today since I was afraid my luggage would go overweight --I bought a lot of stuff from our trip not to mention the two pairs of heels that I had already brought along with me.

After shopping at New Look, it had already become my favorite shop and I can definitely put it to the level of Forever21. I was actually really amazed at the pieces because the quality was good and they were all so cheap especially the sale items! There were some dresses and shorts for only SG $20 which means thats around 650 PHP or 13 USD. Also, the shoes were just to DIE for! They had a wide array of shoes from flats, to sandals, to sky high heels, to boots, and to rubbershoes, ALL for such cheap prices ranging from SG $20 to SG $60 (650 PHP to 1,800 PHP MAX / 13 USD to 38 USD MAX). These boots for example, were a pair I got along with these blue pumps. They even had a promo where if you spend SG $100 or more on their store, you get SG $15 from your total bill. Cool huh!

What I Wore: New Look boots, Thrifted blue dress, Mango belt, Mango bag, Forever 21 hat.

Unfortunately, New Look is only available in areas around Europe, in Egypt, Dubai, and Singapore. I was really expecting it to have a branch in the States but surprisingly theres none! Guess I'll just have to ask people to shop for me there! Hee hee.

All in all, my trip to Singapore was great! Really enjoyed hanging out with my bestfriend, touring the city, and shopping till we drop! Would definitely not trade this experience for anything else. I loved it and I sure do hope there will be more to come! xx
