Tip for the Day: Changing Your Lippie Color ASAP

This will be part 2 (lazy edition) of creating your own lipstick shade.
There will always be days where I would be in total hurry and I wouldn't have the time to mix.
Here's the short cut version on creating a different lippy color without the hassle!
This is how I did my lip color in my "Sky and the Rose" Look.


Step 1: Of course you'll need a dark colored lipstick
(I chose red in this photo)



Step 2: Dot your lips with a liquid concealer



Step 3: Rub the liquid concealer with your finger
Making sure to cover all areas



Final Step: Just SMILE and enjoy the new lip color!
(Note: If you want to create a nude look,
add more liquid concealer and repeat all steps above)




If you are wondering what Liquid Concealer I've used.
It's my ELF Tone Correcting Concealer
You can read my previous review here
I kinda snobbed this when I got my NYX Concealer in a JAR :(
I don't want him to feel bad, so I've used him on my lips instead
(at least he's kissing me lol)




I will be dozing off like a pig as it's Saturday my side of the world!!!
Smile and be happy today!
As you can always change your lip color in a flash!

Thanks to the Beauty Bento Box


**Artistry cosmetic pouch and Mascara

My first winning ever!
I've never won anything, until this!
Thanks so much to Ms. Sasha of Beauty Bento Box for the wonderful Artistry giveaway!
You made me want to go to the nearest LOTTO outlet to gamble my money away!
Coz...I am lucky? LOL


I Love Bling Blings!

People who knew me knows I am always on a lookout for wonderful yet affordable ANYTHING!
No matter how much I love to prettify the world ("world" meaning myself) LOL
I wouldn't spend a lot just for myself!

I started a relationship with "bling bling" hair accesories 4years ago.
I was in China and "bling bling" pieces are quite cheap in China.
But of course, I can't afford to buy a roundtrip ticket to China just to save up for hair accessories right? <--- I have thought about this idea though

Hubby wasn't able to pick me up on time last night, what a girl to do???
NOT SHOP you silly!
Window shop! :P

Everyone who knows how to window shop knows how to shop!
But your "crazy" askmewhats know when and where to spend my moolah!
And I only spend ..when I see a big sign from above...
A big sign that says...

SALE!



L- original price Php250.00 (approx $6.00) NOW Php125.00 ($3.00)
R- original Price Php200.00 (approx $4.50)
NOW Php100.00 ($2.25)
On sale, 50% off

It doesn't look so cute when it's just laying there flat on the carton right?
What's my head and hair for?
Of course! To model for you reader!








I don't know about you,
but i'm starting to love my head !
I think they look lovely and worth the "attention"
Agree? Disagree?

Before anyone gives out violent reactions,
I just wanted to share that these 2 aren't much!
But I don't mind, a simple buy like these makes me happy :)
It is a reward for myself on a hardworking day!
Go ahead, reward yourself! You deserve it!

Tip of the day: *Blushed*

There will always be times where you'll be in a hurry to do your eye make-up.
But you still wanted to look fresh and ready to face the world.
One secret for me? Is to put on blushes!
Different blush placements will have different effects.
Here's the best way I've done to illustrate some ways to apply your blush!



For Softening Effect
(for oval face, young individuals who doesn't need much make-up)

How: Place blush on the apples of the cheeks.
Effect: To accentuate a fresh looking face



For Slimming Effect
(for round faces)

How: Placing the blush vertically in a narrow line down the center of each cheek
Effect: Will make your face looks slimmer




For Lifting Effect
(anyone who wants to accentuate good cheekbones, give the impression of having them, or to just give the face a lift!)

How: Apply blush high on the cheekbone near the eyes.
Effect: *whistles* Sexy cheekbones baby!




For Widening Effect
(for long narrow face)

How: do all the blush placements more horizontally
Effect: Reduced face length




For Sharpening Effect
(for round faces, or anyone who wants a sharp appearance)

How: Do not apply too low. Apply just on the underside of the bone.
Effect: When blended, this blush placement create a very sharp sophisticated look




Are you a blush addict?
I am starting to be...
Are you into pinks? peaches? browns? or bronzed look?
Share your thoughts!
