Tip for the Day: Creating your Own Lipstick Shades

This is a continuation for my previous post as seen here....

The title looks interesting right? I would say YEAH!!!! I know some of you may know this tip already, to some who doesn't (like me), this would be very helpful as I am honestly very lazy to choose on lipstick shades!!!! This tip came in handy (again thanks to Ms. Cherry Pacheco Uy).

I was creating this smokey eyes look and I needed a nude lipstick, and of course, I can't find a nude lipstick coz I never own one!!! I always have this feeling that nude lipstick doesn't work for me with my dry lips and everything...

Here's what you need ---

• Lip gloss (clear)
• Stick/Liquid Concealer (any color) --- much better if you have those concealer that you bought that are wasted coz they just don't work for you.
• Any lipstick color (choose between reds, browns, pinks, orange etc...)
• Lip brush
  

Steps ---

1. Scrape off a small part of your lipstick, concealer and the clear gloss (like the photo below)

2. Mix them all together with a lip brush

3. The one on top is the original lipstick color, quite reddish with an organge-y tone. Check out the one below, that's my own creation (hahaha). You want it more nude? Lighter? Scroll down...

4. With the lipstick mixture you created, add more concealer and see the third color I've created.

5. I don't want to stop creating, so I added more concealer and here's the 4th color.

I know I know!!! I have to STOP! hahaha But see how one lipstick color can give you like 3 or more lipstick shade? Try it, have fun playing around and find your own lippie color that works for you!!!!

Reader's Corner: My Hair Length

My dear reader Samantha from Singapore sent me an email asking me how long my hair is and what the style is. I think it is quite hard for me to explain my hair length as it's all layered and it goes all over places! hahaha Really, you find different lengths and layers on my hair. So I just took a picture of my back just for you to see the length :) Thanks for being part of my blog dear.

By the way, it's summer, it's hot, and I'm super itching for a haircut, really!!! I've been tempted many times, I've always shorted a short do during my highschool and college years. Aaaaacccckkkk, I am so tempted to cut my hair but it took me such a long time to reach this length....haaaayyyyyy

Askmewhats Food Trippin' at : KXP Restaurant

The KXP New Pasta & Rice Experience is located at the Robinson's Place Ermita Mall New Wing. We walked passed by this restaurant a couple of times and we gave in, we really wanted to try something new. And here are what I ordered....

** Bacon and Mushroom Alfredo approx Php210.00

This is an okay dish, it's not a type you would go back again and again. It tastes too buttery and not too creamy for my taste. I would say it's OK. Nothing phenomenal.

** Chix n' Fries approx Php185.00

This is a disappointment for me, I love chicken and I've been a chicken eater for the longest time. The regular fry-on-your own packs from the supermarket tastes way much better. The fries are "blah" and the gravy..oh..the gravy...tastes like instant gravy. Sorry Chicken, I wanted to love you, but my taste buds says no.


Have you guys ate something that you wanted to love?
But just can't?
Happy weekend, no diet weekend to everyone ok?

Askmewhats Reviews: Maybelline Whitestay UV Base

Before I bought this product, i was searching through the net for a good review on this product. But to my dismay, I can't seem to find an in depth review or even comment on this product. I've found several in HK websites or in Taiwan, but basically, it doesn't satisfy me. So I have to give this a go and buy!

The problem I find with this product is that most sales staffs from Maybelline (here) cannot even express to me what really is the use of this product. They can just tell me its a face sunblock! That's it! But they always make it a point to let me know that this is "used as a base before you put on your foundation" which could confuse buyer into thinking that this is a cheaper alternative of a make-up primer/base. I've used this product for a month, as a sunblock --- that's it!

Askmewhats says ---

Pros

• cheap/affordable
• absorbs to your skin easily
• who doesn't love SPFs?
  

Cons

• too watery
• doesn't have good indication on what this is really intended for (well...i'm putting myself into someone who doesn't know anything about make-up.

Will I repurchase?
NO, I find Neutrogena's face sunblock works better on me

Anyone who tried this before? How'd you like it?
