This week, I was booked to do a client's hair and makeup for an event. I've been trying to be religious in accepting makeup jobs lately so I can have more practice and to take a breather from my regular job.

There are still makeup jobs however that I still can't accept as my office job remains to be my priority for now. If I become as famous as Michelle (Phan) maybe I can ditch my job in favor of the dreamy glitz and the glamour (hahaha, as if!).

If you have been following my blog, you must remember my purple lippie addiction phase here.

So when Emjay asked me to do her hair and makeup, I was curious to try on her my purple lippie. And so here's the final result.

One of the local brands I really really love is Fanny Serrano Cosmetics. 

From their powder foundation to their eyelash curler (which is a nice dupe of Shu  Uemura), I've had good experiences so far.

Fanny is a famous makeup artist in the 90's for most celebrities and has established a good number of followers. So getting into producing his own cosmetics line is no surprise at all.

Now, how do you like your eyeshadow? Personally, I like them to be matte. Seldom would you see me wearing a bright or frosted colors because while I like makeup, I can't wear a lot because I can get sensitive to them. That's why I like to play with makeup by applying it to other people.

So, let's talk about another Fanny Serrano product, it's the Fanny Serrano Single Eyeshadow. 

I got it in two beautiful matte colors, Mocha Java and Mineral Coal.

It was supposed to be just plain conversations with friends but in these two occasions, we ended up putting on some makeup while making chikka (translation: conversation).

These makeovers were done in less than 10 minutes and I just practically made use of what's in my makeup kit. So if you don't like what you see, shoot me lol!

The goal is to create a look using Neutrals and Nude lips! Sorry no before photo (I forgot to take one!)

Till next time pretty girls.. Love, love, love!

Love,

Ciao Bellas!

Happy Saturday! Hope your weekend is a blast!

I'm just happy to share that my nieces and nephew are here with me for a short visit. I haven't seen them for more than a year so I'm just happy to see them all grown up now!

My niece Ali, can even fit into some of my size 9 shoes ( I wear size 10) at eleven! Yanna at 9 years old on the otherhand is even more articulate now! OMG!

And since the girls like to be girlie all the way, I asked them if they want some curls for a change. And they said yes!

So armed with my *Babybliss, I had my make over with them.

These girls are growing up so fast. While it's true that their "kakulitan" drives me crazy most of the time, I would not trade the chance of being their "Mama Ninang" for anything else. These kids are smart, articulate and independent like me.

And just seeing them brings me guilt because I envy the kind of life they have now. Pure. Unadulterated. Genuine.

And just to hear their laughter coupled with subdued giggle, I silently wish I have that kind of life.

But then-- life must go on. Yeah right.

Love,

Miss J
