THE RED LIPPIE ADVENTURES: Urban Decay

SNEAK PEEK | Urban Decay Naked Basics

Hey ladies, meet my very first Urban Decay Naked palette!

So yes, I don’t own the previous two (2) Urban Decay palettes if I want to be redundant, haha.

I was looking at Donna’s FOTD whom I met last year in the Benetton event, and she mentioned she finally has the Urban Decay Naked Basics. My heart jumped for about three minutes or so! This was the same palette I almost bought online many moons ago but decided not to.

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.

Styli Style Luna Bronze/ Blush
4U2 Lovelight BB Powder SPF 15PA++
Nature Republic Panda Zero WaterProof Mascara
The Balm Balm Shelter Tinted Moisturizer SPF18
ArtDeco Concealer in 05
Loreal Made for Me Naturals Eyeshadow
ELF Lip Stain in Red Carpet
Prestige Eyeshadow in Caribe
4U2 Colors Single Eyeshadow (04)
VMV Matte Lipstick in Hot Librarian
MAC Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo
Nichido Minerals Kohl Pencil in Onyx
Nichido Minerals Precise Eye Pencil in Chestnut
Urban Decay Complexion Primer Potion
Nivea Sunblock SPF50

I love my makeup kit from Majolica Majorca. It's GOLD, SHINY and very ME, lol.

And oops, don't forget to include this baby in my list--- my Shu Uemura eyelash curler which I got when I attended one of their events here!

So what's in your makeup kit lately? I'm excited to know!

Love,

Miss J

REVISITED | Ever Bilena Expressive Eyes4 in Roses R Pink

Happy Monday! Let's all get inspired by doing my review of the 4-pc eyeshadow I am currently loving.

Ever Bilena has pigmented eyeshadows and I always find myself checking out what's there to see whenever I am at their counter in the malls. While some people frown on local makeup products, I am always checking out their products because this brand is sooo affordable and most ladies out there can for sure afford this. I previously reviewed their Ever Bilena Mousse Eyeshadow here which is very pigmented and deserves recognition.

I am currently loving the Ever Bilena Expressive Eyes 4 in Roses R Pink. The colors are so pigmented: green, blue, bronze and old rose. Sadly though I was told by one sales attendant from SM Makati that they are discontinuing this product. When I asked why, she could not give me a definite answer so I am hoping they are trying to replace this with a better one.

REVISITED | Wet N Wild Color Icon in Spoiled Brat

Happy weekend Bellas!

Do you need an everyday 3-color eyeshadow yet small you can easily toss in your bag? Well look no more! Wet N Wild Color Icon in Spoiled Brat is going to save your day!

SM Makati, Php 319.00

I picked up this small eyeshadow color at SM Makati because I wanted some pop of intense color pink. I think this color selection is versatile as it can go from day to night.
