My Beauty Loot!!!!

They all look so nice and shiny!!!! I would like to thank my wonderful hubby who has been so very patient in finding me these stuff from Facess in HK!!!!

Here's Mac Prep+Prime Face Protect SPF50. It glides smoothly on my skin and has sun protection to boot! 

The Shu Uemura UV underbase in Pink illuminates your skin, giving you that dewy glow.

I love this Prism Powder from MAC, a little goes a long long way! =)

MAC Pro longwear concealers... They are great products, won't budge... 


MAC Silver Gull

MAC Viva Glam Nicki Minaj 


MAC Matte in Lady Danger




My new skin food lippies from my wonderful sister in law!!!  =)

I will do my best to use all of them and take pictures and I will post them here... Till next time! =)

Sparkle and Dazzle at Shu Uemura Alabang

It's been a very long time since I haven't posted on my blog... been very busy lately.... I will go into that some  other time.
I was very lucky to be able to join the Shu Uemura Sparkle and Dazzle Make up competition (for aspiring MUA's)
I get to try some of their wonderful products such as the Face Architect Mousse Foundation and The Face Architect Foundation. The former, is like putting on the UV Mousse primer, you have to be quick because it dries up quickly, the foundation will be great addition to the make up kits of people who tends to have an oily skin... I loved the Face Architect Foundation, it glides on smoothly with a wide array of shades... Enough of that, I'm actually here to talk about their new eyeshadow product... the powders capture light, absorbing and reflecting it for a multi-dimensional effect. That's why they called their competition, Sparkle and Dazzle.. The eyeshadow goes on smoothly and it has a really nice texture...
This is the link to one of the entries (which is mine by the way...)

My inspiration was candy colored cupcakes because my beautiful model is a superb baker! It's super light in pictures, I don't know why we couldn't capture the real colors... It's wonderfully good enough to eat tinker bell look! =)
It is a nice colorful make up which you can wear everyday... I used IR Pink 115, ME soft pink 155, P soft blue green 540 and P light green 520 (I'm unsure of the shades of the greens though..) for the eyes. A pop of Pink blusher (sorry, I forgot the number.) As for the lips, I mixed Rouge Unlimited PK335 and PK346.
Love the new eyeshadows that I got from Shu Uemura Alabang!!! 


G Yellow 345 and G Blue green 641

I will try to use them on my next make up session and I will post it here... So till next time! =)
