Hello AMW Friends! Happy Year of the Water Tiger!!!
Ah, as much as I’d like to draw a cute Tiger on my nails like I used to a decade ago! I’ve decided to make it simpler and …ahem…more age appropriate!
How do you like this?
Products used —-
Lesser and lesser people are wearing makeup nowadays. “Why bother?” They would say as half of our faces are covered with face masks - thank you OMICRON for coming into our lives this 2022! #Nothanks
But that does not stop me from using brow products and eyeliner. Eyeliner was the first makeup tool I used in college (after lipsticks) and I remembered looking like a fool as I applied it so darkly shaping my whole upper and lower lashline.
If you studied makeup artistry, you would know that is a huge NO - NO!
To my dear friends who have the same small eyes as I do. Here’s a trick on how to enlarge your eyes without the need for eyeshadow. I just used a waterproof pencil liner in dark brown. Yes, the color makes a huge difference, go for Dark Brown or Dark Gray instead of black! Black could appear too harsh on a bare eye makeup look!
I’ll stop blabbling, here’s the half face look.
Can you see the difference on my eye shape and size?
And for you to better understand the trick on how to do it, videos are better right? Here’s a quick IG Reel I did! I hope you learn something from me and practice is all you need.
Happy Monday!
How’s Chinese New Year treating you? It is the Year of the Tiger tomorrow and things get busier on my side of the world! I mean there’s me waking up really early in the morning for my son’s online school, and there’s me as a working girl! Yes, I still have work which I heavily do online!
I used to be scared to wear white tees especially white sando shirts - why? WHITE shows off my folds and fats more! They go on tight on my body shape and I am not tht confident with my body shape no matter how much of an exerciser I am - well, I used to really go crazy boxing but now I do mostly weight lifting, cardio and random Kettelball exercises at home.
Not saying I have a gorgeous sexy body now but I felt the confidence I have because of…age! :P
So anyways for someone who is very busy to do 360 degrees change for a quick online meeting, I use and reuse loungwear mixing and matching it with key pieces to look professional.
Just like this particular look!
A white H&M Sando which I love to wear at home (translation: PAMBAHAY) and I just change my pambahay shorts with my high waist, white legged pants which I got from Vero Moda on sale! This pants are so nice and very professional-looking, I would totally wear this with a nice blazer when I go to an office but for now, it is just my trustee plain white top and this long pants.
Even at home, I depend on Powerbanks like no other! I work a lot in every corner of my house! When my son is doing his online school, I sit next to him either working or playing games! In the afternoon, I work beside him as he answers his homeworks. I also cook a lot and take videos and photos of the steps of my cooking so I don’t have access to direct “plug” so at this point, you probably understood how much of a Powerbank-dependent I am and I have a whole drawer of powerbanks!
One thing for sure, I’ve found the cutest powerbank to date! My Yoobao M4 Pro Pink Powerbank and it costs only Php399.00 available HERE.
I have read a lot of good reviews about Rare Beauty and I really can’t tell if they got famous just because it was by Selena Gomez. I mean she is BIG and most cosmetis brands spearheaded by big stars get all the buzz.
It was assumptous of me, but you can’t blame me. Thankfully, RARE Beauty products are available at Sephora Philippines so I was able to get my hands on them without having to go to the post office - I used to get excited to do so but with the pandemic, I’d rather stay home.
Thankfully, found the bestselling shade of the Lip Souffle Matte Lip Cream in a Duo Kit. A full size of Courage and sample size of the shade Ambition.
