Day 15: Imelyn Sanchez’ Make-up Artistry

October 14, 2011 – 6:21 pm

15/30: Reflections. It’s Day 15 of this challenge, it’s the end of the work week, and I’m posting this quick because who posts blogs on Friday nights anyway? :P

Hello, this photograph is brought to you by my dear sister-in-law, who took care of my whole entourage’s make-up (including hers!), and did it beautifully. Our wedding aside, life sure has become so much easier and more meaningful when God brought Ate Imy to the family. Growing up with two *macho* brothers, I’ve always wished for an older sister I can share make-up, clothes, shoes, thoughts, and stories with, and I’m just happy that God granted that little wish of mine.

On that note, do check out her biz, Imelyn Sanchez’s Make-up Artistry! She’s done a lot of weddings and fashion shows in the past two years, I just looove watching her work, and am sooo proud of her. For future brides out there, there’s a bridal expo happening at the Mega Trade Hall 1 right now, the annual Kasalan 2011. Ate Imy has a booth there so if you have nothing to do tonight and anytime this weekend, drop by and get a free trial make-up! Trust me, my Ate can do magic. (:

Urban Decay’s Alice in Wonderland is ♥

February 12, 2010 – 8:14 pm

There’s no doubt about it, Urban Decay’s Alice in Wonderland is by far the prettiest and most photogenic make-up I’ve ever laid eyes on it’s so pretty I want to live inside it! But first things first, I’m not about to make a review or a tutorial because I know nothing about applying make-up I don’t know why I’m even buying make-up to begin with.

(But okay, I’m lying, I do know a thing or two about applying make-up, I kinda enjoy coloring my face with it, and I do know that Urban Decay has got the best eyeshadow palettes out there. As a matter of fact, I’ve been using UD’s Sustainable Shadow Box as my daily ‘shadow for months now and it has not failed me EVER. And now I’m just happy to give that good ol’ thing a break, Alice saves the day.)

So I’ll just take photos instead. Because Alice is pretty. And these are the kinda stuff I’d like to adorn my blog with.

Also, I know that I’m one of the few lucky ones in Manila who get to have Alice ahead of everyone else, so yeah, this is just me making you girls die of envy. *insert evil grin here*

OAN, if you want real, credible, useful reviews and swatches, head over to Liz and Lauren‘s blogs, they’re actually the ones responsible for my ongoing love affair with Alice in Wonderland. (Thank you, ladies, for inviting me and Mara to order with you.)

Now please please please take me out to coffee so I get an excuse to leave the house and wear make-up.

Life as I Know It

Blog Sale: Make-up Overload!

November 20, 2009 – 8:55 am

For someone who works at home and does not need make-up on a daily basis (and who doesn’t know how to apply make-up, LOL), I spend an awful lot on cosmetics, especially within the last couple of months. In the past two weeks alone, I have splurged on trips to Beauty Bar, SM Department Store and Rustan’s, as well as tried some items from Mineraux. Now I’m left with a bunch of makeup, some of which should be enough to sustain me for the next couple months, some I just wanted to try and test but didn’t work, a couple I don’t need at all.

Makeup Splurge

Here are the items from my recent make-up sprees that I’m going to keep: (1) MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 in NC35 (edited: selling this now) (2) MAC Holiday Collection’s 6 Sorceress Eye Shadows (looove it!), (3) Smashbox Eyelights in Smokebox, (4) Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Foundation Primer, (5) L’oreal Mattifying Minerals Finishing Loose Powder in Natural 01, (6) L’oreal Mineral Blusher, (7) L’oreal Telescopic Clean Mascara, and (8) In2it 2-Way Foundation SPF 25 in Warm Beige.

Just thought I’d share, so you’ll somehow understand why I need to do this blog sale. Lol. I mean, come on, do the Math. :D
