Askmewhats Reviews: Etude Coverfit Two Way Cake

Aside from my review on Etude Coverfit Two Way Cake Foundation, this is also a quick review on my experience with HK Facial Shop. This is my first time to order from them and I tried ordering just a single product first as I want to check their products and services.

Askmewhats Version: "Valentines Day" Look

A reader requested for a "Valentine's Day" look, I hope you like this :)

Valentine's Day...ahhh...Romance! I am actually a very romantic person, when I was 10yrs old, I read my first book "On Becoming a Woman" lol and I've read those Sweet Dreams pocketbooks and imagine my "knight in shining armor"... don't even say I'm corny, I'm sure everyone out there has their fair share of imagination! lol Admit it! :P

Anyways, I'm sure a lot of you have your own version of Valentine's Day look, I still have a lot on mind but hot pinks really should be part of the look! lol And colored lippie for that sexy pucker! :P

Here's my final look!

My Askmewhats Diagram :D
(I tried making it as simple as possible)

Step 1:

Apply any base you want, UDPP/TFSI/MAC paintpots etc.. In this look, I used MAC Soft Ochre as base. Using a smaller e/s brush and my 78pcs Digital Angel palette LOL, pat on the "hottest pink" color you want on your lid going a little above the crease.

Step 2:

Deepen outer crease and create a V using a blending/crease brush. I used Milani Dark Chocolate e/s color. Blend well. Add the color as you go on.

Continuation of Step 2:

If you feel the color is too dark on your outer V, blend in with MAC Amber Lights to create a bit of gold-brown look.

Step 3:

Highlight the brow bone and inner corner of the eye with any highlighting powder that's 2 colors lighter than your skin.

Step 4 & 5:

Apply 4U2 Glitz liquid eyeliner on the lash line, going for your desired thickness. Since I cannot use liquid liner on my waterline, I applied Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Bourbon (almost same color as the liquid liner) on the waterline.

Coat your lashes with P&J Curly Mascara in 02 Brown after you curl your lashes with an eyelash curler.

Final eye look :)
Single or not, you can definitely rock this look!

I Wonder: "What's your Favorite Matte White Polish?"

Hi all!

Happy Monday to all of you! I am having a bit of coffee addiction again because I am very sleepy! I was doing nail art for my mom-in-law the weekend and I've tried doing a really nice various designs using RED and White polish.

The RED polish was wonderful but when I topped the White polish for french tip, it went runny and turned to PINK although I waited for the RED polish to dry.

A question came out and yeah, I've bought a couple of matte white polishes in the past and a lot of them dried up because I ended up NOT using them because they don't work most of the time!

And the polish I've used was from Elianto.
I tried Sally Hansen's as well and it's still "runny".

That leaves to me..wondering.. "What's your favorite matte white polish that really works?"

Do share! I think I'm off to shop for a good one!

Thanks!!!
Stay Happy!

Nail Art Tutorial: Nails In Love!

Hello lovelies!!!

Valentine's day is near! I am sure there's a lot of Valentine's day inspired everything! So I've thought of doing a girl "In Love" nails! By the way, I bought art brushes from a local bookstore, I TRIED drawing hearts and I have to say, it is very challenging and I gave up for now...I need to do more practice as I don't want to have "ugly" hearts this coming Valentine's day!

I did an "almost" heart look though --- in a human way hahaha
Here's my version and interpretation, I hope you like it! :)

Step 1:

Apply a base coat, let dry. Apply one layer of any pink matte color. Let dry.

Step 2:

Apply 2nd coat of the base color.

While wet, drop a white colored polish and red colored polish, creating 3 dots. You can choose whatever color combination you like.

Step 3:

Quickly run through a needle going up, between the dots. A 3 heart shape will show up.

Again, you can do something different for the THUMB
In my case, I did 4 dots instead of 2 :)

Step 4:

Leave the nail art for a couple of minutes, making sure it's dry. add a glitter polish on the area where you run through the needle. You may skip this step if you don't have a thin brush.

Step 5:

Using my Testimo Polish for the first time (a gift from a dear friend last Christmas), slowly apply on the "pink" base area only, trying not to touch the hearts. I am trying to create hearts with some falling glitters :)

The reason for not going through the nail art, because the hearts won't show up clearly. I am trying to create a glittery, happy base with the hearts as the MAIN focus. That's LOVE! :P


Step 6:

Making sure the nail art is dry, top your nails with your favorite top coat. In my case, everyone knows its The Face Shop's Top Coat :D <--- for now!

Here's the finished "Nails In Love" look



and the thumb art
Now that sounds like "dumb art' lol

A Valentine's Day inspired eye make-up will be coming up!
What are your plans for the V-day?
Anything special planned out for your loved ones?
Stay loved...stay happy!
