a quick post for my quick haul+rant

Here again, blogging and ranting at the same. How cool is that? .,
I am so sleepy,..... and I am so stressed. I feel so weak and tired just by thinking about my school works. :( ., I am interested with economics and accountancy, but they just don't work together! My mind and body are being torn apart, because of all the things to be done PLUS my other subjects which are still important btw (to pull your grades higher). I just find it harder to focus. With two diff majors at the same time. or maybe,. I am just feeling SOOO tired and sleepy because I cannot sleep at night right away. I get too excited in reading other people's blog and making a post for my blog also. I end up sleeping around past 12 or 1 in the morning, then I have to wake up at 6am or 7:30 am. As ya'll know, I LOVE SLEEPING. haha. And I want 8-9 hours of sleep. So yeah, I get too lazy waking up right away every time the alarm clock shouts at me.

Anyway, my rant was not supposed to be written, and my only intention is to post a quick haul that I did last night. I bought another set of lashes from Say as I saw one of her comments that this one is the most natural looking lashes she got among the sets. I love the Roseanne, as it looks natural in photos, but in personal?., It's too thick for a natural looking eyes and eye lashes., So I asked another pair which is Chloe. I love the strands of this set because it is not too thin and not too thick which is good if your aiming for a fresh natural look. I would love to use this right away, but I don't use falsies at school days. Then I did some grocery shopping for my mini food cart business. I ran out of ingredients, so I headed to Puregold right after I met with B. I was looking for the ingredients when I glanced in the beauty section. oooohhhh, they only have Ever Bilena, Careline, and Maybelline. That's good for a grocery since I think SM does not have Maybelline counter in their supermarket. The Ever Bilena compact powder is good for a price of 220.00 php each. The packaging is like the one in M.A.C. The powder is good na rin. It blends well in my skin! That's what made me buy this. I bought Soft Beige, and Oriental. I like the Oriental better for me (NC 30). The Maybelline BB cream caught my attention, so I took and I was impressed when I swatched it at home! The substance is very thin but not runny and not oily for my skin. Likkeeeyyy ^^

Ever Bilena: 220php, Lashes by SAY:100 php, Maybelline BB cream:248 php? (not sure)

looks pretty natural for me ^^

Soft Beige, Oriental.

Soft Beige is a light yellowish beige shade, while Oriental is tad darker  than Soft Beige. Both  shades will suit those with NC30

with bb cream.

BB cream (blended)

My latest excitement: Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick

Yes. Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick! I can't believe their shades will be good enough to convince me. They have a variety of colors, and their shade really suit all pinay skin complexion. From nudes/brown, to red, to pinks, and orang-y color. They are like Nyx. But I think Nyx are more pigmented, but I find the Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick better when it comes to its staying power. Expect more shades to be swatched. :) It costs 145 php by the way. Not bad. I bought Pink Flame, Mauvey and another pink lipstick but I can't remember the name! Will post it on my next article,. :) So right now, let me show you my favorite shade among the 3. :)

Pink Flame is winner love! :D ., a thin layer of lip gloss was applied here. :)

FOTD: Everyday Look #1

Today's event was an epic fail. I and B were able to process our good moral letter for our transferee application. I still need to come back though later in the afternoon so I need to wake up very early to get my form. On the other hand, B was able to get his on the same day! Good Job AB Faculty. :D

On our way to Greenhills Shopping Center, this is what I got:

Stranded for 3 hours! I think more than 3 hours. lols

Anyway, this is somewhat my everyday look, I don't know if this has a natural finished look. But sometimes this is what I wear and sometimes I alternate it by using diff eyeliner and diff. lipstick or I add a little eyeshadow on my eyes. With my everyday look, I DON'T USE EYELINER ON MY upper lash line/eye lid. I'm bad at it and it always takes time on my part! :| ., But I prefer lining my lower lash line with an eyeliner + eye shadow to make it last longer. I like my lower lash line to have some color since I have little eye lashes, and they look babies bec. of how little and how few they are. :)) . I didn't put an eyeshadow also since, ............. I woke up around 2pm! I'm already late. :| I thought I will be able to wake up around 10 am but it was a failure. (On the contrary, I slept around 7am! So it's forgivable ... :p ) I have 5 pictures of myself.! sorry, I can't choose 1, I just  like them. :p
PLEASE VIEW THE PICTURES AT A LARGER SIZE. The colors are shown better when it is viewed larger.

moi. n_n

^^, .. Having a hard time to have a perfect shot where the colors are showed perfectly.

Oily Face!! :| i guess this is the best shot I have to show the colors of the make-up except with the eyebrow. =p

When Lip gloss is added:

Products I used:

FOR THE FACE (products with PINK STAR ON IT)

• Moisturizer: Venus and Mars: Keep Safe Tinted Facial Sunblock SPF 35 =my HG! :)
• Purederm 3 in 1 Beauty Magic BB Cream with SPF 30
• I slightly dust a bareMinerals foundation in Medium Beige with SPF 15 from Bare Escentuals 
• Using a Bare Escentuals kabuki brush, I add christina cosmetics perfect pigment2 (which is also great! thanks to my cousin). It has 4 pigments inside which can be used as foundation, bronzer, highlight, eyeshadow, or blush powder
• Concealer: Ever Bilena Advance Studio Finish Stick Foundation in "Ivory".  (What? O.o All this time, I thought this is a concealer, this is what the saleslady gave me when I asked for a concealer. Anyway, it says here that it can conceal dark circles as well. BUT. I don't care if it's a concealer or foundation. IT WORKS!!!!!!(KEEP IN MIND I ALWAYS SLEEP AROUND 5 am or 6 or 7 am!)
• Highlight used above my cheeks: Victoria's Secret Silk Wear Luminous Powder Eye Colour. I don't know if it's an eyeshadow or whatnot, but you can use any powder as an highlight as long as it works. Right? :)

FOR MY CHEEKS (with green star on it)

• Blush Powder: Clinique Blushing Blush Powder Blush in "Smoldering Plum"

EYES AND EYEBROW (with yellow star)

• Nichido Extra Waterproof, Protective Eye Pencil= my HG also! :D Perfect Brown for me. :) Too bad it is not shown here in my pictures how natural and how great it is on my eyebrow. The flash of my camera is just killing me. I just use this in light strokes. *QUESTION: IS IT BETTER TO USE EYE PENCIL AS IF YOU ARE DRAWING OR LINING YOUR EYEBROW VERY HARD OR YOU JUST LINE IT LIGHTLY? I sometimes see other people with very bold and dark eyebrow because they tend to just draw it. I can't explain it, but you get the drift? Let me know!
• I brushed it with Estee Lauder Two-In-One Eyeshadow Duo. It doesn't show the color names here. I don't want a heavy eyebrow color so I dust it with this eyeshadow, the darker one. After doing so, it makes my eyebrow looks so natural. :) **ANY matte brown eyeshadow would do.
• AVON Ultra Luxury Eye Liner in Black - smudge a lot. but has a nice color.
• On top of my eye liner, I cover it with Ever Bilena Advance Eyeshadow in "Cleo" ==It's A LOUD BLACK. LIKE IT because it's effective and cheap! I think I got this for only 100 pesos? I can't remember. I bought it last August, and I use it everytime I go out! I also use it as an eyeshadow and I still have a lot of it. It doesn't seem like I'm using it. That's how plenty it is.
• Lashes: Estee Lauder Projectionist High Definition Volume Mascara in Black. I'm not fortunate when it comes with eyelashes. They are so short. :| *sigh...

LIPS (violet star on it)

• Lip Balm: Human Nature Lip Balm in Peppermint. Love and like it better than the VNM lip balm. I lost the cap last 2 months ago, and I don't want to buy a new one for the sake of having a new cap. So, I got an extra bottle of alcohol spray and tried to use that cap, and voila! I saved my lip balm! :D
• NYX Round Lipstick in Heredes. My favorite color among the shades I have! I will swatch my 10 Nyx Lipsticks later. :) This is my favorite brand as well. :D Nyx RLS and Nyx Lips for only 160 php each! So affordable!
• Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss in "Slice of Heaven" =Love the smell and the taste! I just don't like the sticky feeling.

BTW, I'M WEARING GEO CONTACT LENS "ANGEL SERIES IN GREY" DON'T THEY LOOK AMAZING? :D I HAVE 4 PAIRS OF CONTACT LENS BECAUSE I'M ACTUALLY SELLING THEM AT MY ONLINE SHOP! For 650 php, you'll get 1pair of lens + lens case + grade installation if needed + 35 ml solution + manual + free shipping! THIS IS FOR PRE-ORDER BY THE WAY. ORDERS AND PAYMENTS ARE UNTIL NOV. 26, 2010 AND YOU'LL GET THEM ON DEC. 14! JUST CLICK ON THE ICON AT THE SIDE BAR. :D So sorry for having a long info about this! >:)))) .. I promise this will be the last time. I'll just have these lenses on a separate posts. :D

**I forgot to insert at the bottom my last 2 pictures, will add it later. :)

**Is it okay to contour nose on an everyday basis? I want to try it, but I think I'm overdoing the look already. As you can see, I have a flat nose. :)) Help me ppplleeaaseee. :p
