Revenge is Sweet.. Nah, Just Kiddin'...

So after participating in this tag game, I got vengeful, I mean inspired! (hehe!) I have decided to start another tag game which is kinda similar to what we just had..

Rules: Take a picture of yourself before putting on your makeup (that means without applying anything on your face). Then take a picture of yourself after putting on makeup. These will be your 'before' and 'after' photos. Itemize what makeup you used on your 'after' photo.

So I'll start the ball rolling..




Since I'll be staying home for the rest of the day, I've decided not to use foundation. So I have applied my Purederm bb cream instead. I topped it with Ellana Espresso Con Panna FS. For my blush, I used Nichido powder blush in passionate red.

For the eyes, I used Nichido black liquid eyeliner, G-lish gelato eyescream #13 and #8, Nichido GNO pencil in Smoke Green, Elf Black Mascara, Fashion 21 eyebrow powder

Lips: G-lish lusterstick in party princess and Victoria's Secret Strictly Sheer #139

So there, I'm tagging everyone who follows this blog.. (please don't hate me!) That means I'm tagging Lai, Pammy, Tiff, *Nehs*, Crystal, Ida, Chrissy, September, and Donnarence.. harharhar (there's my evil laugh again!)

My Random Ramblings..

I've always wanted to know what my shade is with MAC so when I went to MOA yesterday, I made sure that I drop by MAC's counter. I found out that I'm an NC25. It was an enormous feat to turn away and buy nothing. But I'm not really sure if I'm willing to shell out Php1500 for a foundation so with a heavy heart, I turned away. Probably someday.. When I have more moolah to spare.

Anyway, it's my rest day today and I figured that I won't be putting any make up on especially with the hot weather and all.. But I'm really bored and I had to take my sister and aunt to the bus station so I need to put on some makeup but it's very minimal.. I just used my Purederm BB cream and my Joppa Original FS in Sheer, Nichido blush in Passionate Red, my homemade eye primer, Fashion21 eyebrow duo and black liquid liner, Nichido Girls Night Out in Smoke Green, Gelato eyescream #3, Bare Naturals lipcolor in Delusional, Ellana mineral e/s in Inspiration as my brow highlighter, and Elf waterproof black mascara and I'm done.. It's really hot but at least my make up is not melting.. yet.

On BB Creams

After being sucked into this MMU craze, I have been intrigued by this ongoing rave about BB creams. To say that it has the efficiency of a foundation and a moisturizer in one is really something worth looking into.. Unfortunately, BB creams are really not easy on the pocket. They range from 600Php to 2000Php. I'm not yet fully convinced to spend that much which is why I decided to browse thru eBay for resellers of sample sizes and voila! I found one for Purederm. So for Php150 for a 5ml bottle, I decided to give it a try. After trying Purederm, I can't really say that I see what the rave is all about. Purederm is just like a liquid foundation and it doesn't even give a great coverage. I still had to use my concealer to cover blemishes and dark spots. It doesn't do much also when it comes to oil-control. I had to dust my face with powder after just a couple of hours. So will I buy the full-size next time? Probably not. I might search for another BB cream that would perform better with my skin.
