THE RED LIPPIE ADVENTURES: Loreal

Why I Now Only Carry Lipsticks in my Everyday Makeup Kit

(Top to Bottom: Revlon Colorstay in Wardrobe, Victoria Secret lipgloss, Loreal Collection Star in Pure Garnet, MAC Pro Longwear Lip Creme in Unlimited, Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor in Addiction Dependence, Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in #15 from Japan and Loreal lipstick in Spring Rosette)

To put it, I just wanted to simplify my everyday makeup life. And so my story goes by me applying my foundation or tinted moisturizer/ sunblock first, set with a powder, do my eyebrows, apply some blush and on with my usual fave lippies mostly from Revlon. I really think Revlon has great lipsticks selection and they work pretty well on me.

FOTD | Brown Smokey is the Key

I must admit, I haven’t done much makeup these days. Can’t blame the girl, there are just too many things going on in my life at this time. I have recently transitioned to a new role in my regular office job thus most of my time are spent learning new ropes again. But busy is good, don’t you think?

My cat is away and so I am basically on my own: empty house, empty wallet (these hospital costs are crazy), empty heart (naks) which leave me with an empty mind altogether, haha.

With all these craziness in my life, I must say I am still lucky being alive and kicking .

The other day, I busied myself grabbing some eyeshadow palettes to see what my hands can do with them. While watching one episode of Nikita, Maggie Q was just awesome and thought come on, why not try the smokey eye look again only this time, I want it brown (or taupe).

Smokey eyes can be tricky, IMHO. When done in good taste and faith, the result can be very rewarding. For small, hooded eyes, I suggest to fake a crease by contouring your lids starting with a soft taupe or brown color to give the illusion of well rounded eyes.Your crease is that part of your lids where your eyeballs sit. Then at the outer lid, find a darker eyeshadow color and blend it for four(4) hours (errrr…. I’m just kidding). But seriously: blend, blend and blend some more!

If you already have that crease that I dreamed of, congratulations, you are my peg in this lifetime, lol. It won’t be as hard as those girls with hooded eyes like me because you can basically do everything you wish for in your eyelids (which makes me extremely jealous).

Anyhow, going back to the smokey topic, here’s my version. Here are the products I used:

BEAUTY SPOTTING | What's in My Makeup Kit

Lookie, lookie what's in my makeup kit!

Since I started loving makeup, it was always a struggle how NOT to bring my entire makeup stash in my everyday bag. I mean I love big bags but lately, I always try to challenge myself by bringing with me a small to medium sized bag trying to see if I am up for it.

A boy I used to date asked me before whether I carry stones in my bag, lol. Of course he was teasing me but that made me think whether I had been bringing too much or not (wow, as if contemplating haha!).

So, here's a snapshot of what I usually carry with me in my usual day.
