Reader's Corner: My Wedding Photos

To my dear Yummy411, here's some photos from my wedding last Oct 2007 (the happiest day of my life). Enjoy :)

And since this is a make-up blog, below is a close-up of my very simple eye make-up.

For my married readers, how's your wedding day?
Any wedding pictures to share?
For the single readers, do you have any dream wedding?
My wedding wasn't a perfect wedding,
but given the chance to go back in time,
I would do the same over and over again!

Your askmewhats,

Askmewhats Version: "Our Wedding Motiff" Look

Note: Thanks to Lurve for letting me know this entry wasn't posted at all :) I didn't even know!

I got married to my wonderful bestfriend and highschool sweetheart last year -- October.
We got a lot of stuffs in mind and the wedding motiff isn't even a big issue to us.
He loves blues and I adore pinks
We wanted to blend them both and it looked wonderful on our wedding day.

With eye make up, aside from practice, experimenting is the key to a good eye makeup.
I tried the blues of my hubby and the pinks of mine and I added up my next favorite..
Purples

By the way, I used all NYX products here
and
Here's my EOTD...

Products Used (eyes only) ---

• Vaseline (for the loose powders to stick)
• NYX single e/s Atlantic
• NYX single e/s Cherry
• NYX pearl mania in Turquoise (on top of the NYX Atlantic)
• NYX pearl mania in Purple (on top of NYX cherry)
• NYX Chrome Shadows in Queen (as highlight)

NYX Chrome e/s and Pearl mania are all loose powders and I find it a bit messy to apply, I pat on loose powders just below my eyes (as an e/s blanket) so it's easier to clean up the mess.

You wouldn't see me wearing loud colors, but don't get me wrong, I love vibrant colors :)
Hope you guys like it
It did brought me down to memory lane...
Wedding bells...
awwww...

Askmewhats Reviews: Accupleasure Head Massager

** available at Rustan's for Php195.00

This looks like a factory-defect egg beater right? LOL Your askmewhats venture not only on beauty but also anything that would interest me.

INTRODUCING.... Accupleasure Head Massage.... I believe is made in Japan. This weird thing is available at Rustan's mall. I was searching through make-up sponges when I saw this product. I can't help but give it a try as they have the "tester" just right in front of me. Who else should I use it to? (of course not to me silly but to my wonderful hubby..bwahahaha). I was surprised with the effect it did to him, I thought it was over acting! He of course said he's not and showed me his goosebumps!

So to return my favor, he used it on me and...OHMYGOODNESS!!!! I gave out screech and nearly ran out of the building! (Keith is not exaggerating!) hahaha

Here's how it should be used.... (much better if you ask someone to do it for you)
Step 1: Put it on top of your head

Step 2: Push the entire thing downwards

You'll go "brrrrr" promise!

It really does tickle your head and there's a certain "accupuncture without the needles" feeling. You can start at the back of your head or on top of your head, and me and my husband ended up using this to play and just get back at each other running around circles chasing each other!

This is a very "entertaining" product, but after several uses, you will loose the goosebumps and ticklish feeling! So now it ended lying around the room NOT serving its purpose! hahaha

It is indeed a product worth playing but not worth going crazy for. It does gives the "relaxed" feeling especially after first use. But it gives you the NUMB feeling after.

Will I repurchase?
No, if only I can use this as an egg beater...hehehe

Any crazy product you've seen and wanting to try?
Go ahead! As long as it's not too expensive!
Everything in this world is worth trying for...
well..ahmm..except..drugs...
and oh......murder?
and.... stealing?
OK OK, a lot of things are worth trying for!

Your askmewhats,

Nikki
