HAUL! LAST in a long long time.

Gia wanted to see my my haul from March 30, so here it is! :D I was out with my college BFF, Sam. We were at Trinoma to watch Monsters vs. Aliens (it was such a cute, funny movie too!) and afterwards we went looking around and shopping in general. This is what happened: 

Major haul! Total damage was around or over 3k...P999 for the Elianto brush set, P445 for the MaxFactor panstik concealer (noveau beige), P355 for TheFaceShop makeup primer in green, P99 for the Elianto sponges--8 in total, P1330 for the Ellana stuff (this includes my previous haul). My wallet hurts...and now I've promised myself I won't be spending anything for a long long time.

So anyway, I was so happy to get all that stuff, so of course I used the Ellana foundie+finishing powder and the TFS primer immediately (oh and also the Ellana blush in Lust). I was doing a practice look, you know, just for fun. This is the stuff I used for my eyes:

ArtDeco eye primer, CS 88 matte palette, Elianto shimmer e/s in Ivory, Elianto brushes, Elianto stay-on eyeliner, Cinema Secrets mascara in black

I decided I would try to do a pink/purple look to celebrate my late coming into kikayness (labo, haha)...this is the look! I tried to do a cut-crease thing, I'm not so sure I pulled it off.

(Please excuse the gross clothes xD I was dressed for comfort since I was just at home)

So what do you think about the look? I know my eyes are wonky again, for some reason only one gets puffy (either left or right) when I lack sleep (which is always). Pshhh. Oh and I wasn't wearing lippie in those pics yet, I kinda forgot to put some on. O.o;;

HAUL and MAKEOVER!

I was at 168 with my aunt and mom today, and I got free clothes (yay free clothessss!). It kinda made me sad because I would miss the delivery of my Ellana stuff, but then when I got home I saw it (total damage P650) and I was like...holy wow, ang liit pala. But what else can I expect, I only ordered 1g each! I was SO disappointed though because half my order wasn't available. But at least I decided on shades etc na... Actually I'm getting impatient na b/c I want to order stuff already, but I WILL WAIT. I have to think what brushes I'm getting first. Thankfully I'm going to Trinoma tomorrow to watch Monsters vs Aliens with my college bestie. :)

So this is what I got today at 168. 2 tops and 2 bolero type things (I don't know what they're called, I'm not much of a fashionista!). 2 belts (P100 each!) and L'oreal facial wipes. All free. Yay! I can't wait to wear these, I don't really get to have much pretty clothes. XD

And here is my Ellana haul (minus primer, innocence concealer, baby buki brush, and fulfillment blush...but at least I got free samples of blushes).

my babies in their new home:

So far, I've decided that I like their awake concealer, and my shade is toffee mocha. I like the moisturizing lip color too! My god, I'm sure I'm going to start bringing huge bags now...marami nang pa-kikay e! Here is me, wearing most of the ellana products (one side toffee mocha one side cafe mocha b/c I was testing to see which shade fit me better). Excuse the hair, I really don't bother with my hair much because it's so unruly. I LOVE THE COVERAGE! And after 6 hours, without primer (and after a mucho huge dinner with loads of oily food), my skin was still pretty good, and didn't appear too oily. What more if there was primer?

I also did a makeover on my cousin's cousin, Jacqueline... it was a random spur of the moment thing, and I didn't have her shade foundation or powder, but we made do...I promised to do her makeup for prom and she would just get her own foundie/powder.

I used: CS 88 palette in matte, VOV single e/s in yellow (no actual color specified), lancome lipstick, generic blush+ELF blush in glow, elianto stay-on eyeliner

Haul and LOTN I never wore out

I mentioned the other day that I got a pretty bad manicure (it got ruined right away!), so I ended up doing my own nails instead (fingernails, I left my toes alone since I rarely wear sandals). I did them in neon orange, neon green, and neon yellow (for the tip). What I did was, I took the polish, dabbed the excess off the brush onto a plastic lid--I think it was for my cotton container--and grabbed a hairpin. Using the end of that hairpin, I dipped it into the polish and kept making dots across my fingernails. I don't have nail art pens kasi e! And then I tipped my nails with the orange. I was actually quite surprised I managed since I never french-tipped before. I guess I was inspired, and frustrated with my botched first attempts.

So here is a picture of how my nails are now (and hopefully for weeks to come since this manicure will be quite easy to maintain, all I need is to dab more dots and coat on glitter and a topcoat):

My nails are pretty, no? I just love neons.

Anyway, yesterday morning I went to a friend's. They were supposed to pick me up at SM North Edsa but the jeep I was taking wasn't passing by there it seemed, so I got down at Trinoma...and went straight into Landmark (right after opening--so I was just on time!). I was disappointed because not all the stores were open, and some sales chicks were pretty damn rude to me. Just because I don't look like the type that would wear makeup... forget it. HAHA.

Because I was waiting for so long, I ended up shopping--and I told myself I wouldn't do this because I just bought Ellana stuff, but I couldn't help it. I needed liquid eyeliner and blush...I can't say I'm not disappointed with what I bought, but well..it was an impulsive buy.

I bought:

ELF blush in glow, elianto shimmery e/s in ivory, elianto stay-on liquid eyeliner in black

I have swatches:

Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the e/s and blush without flash (I may have but I think I deleted it).

Anyway, I wouldn't repurchase the blush or the eyeliner. Revlon was out of stock kasi, and elianto seemed like a good choice... sigh! I don't like the runniness of the elianto... it has a felt tip, and the salesgirl claimed it was waterproof, but I ran it under water and then swiped my finger across it and most of it came off. Pff. The blush is too shimmery for me and it isn't the right shade (I didn't try it...tsk. Oh well, it was just P129.75).  I could wear it when I'm having just lipgloss days (which is a lot of the time).

The e/s however is pretty good--I just had trouble getting my lids to be white! Haha. Well, I really jsut bought it for highlight, but you be the judge if it worked. Here is an LOTN that I took off before I went out (I went out bare-faced with just red lippie instead) because I realized I didn't want to call attention to myself.

There were a lot of firsts for me on this one--I used the maybelline cream foundation for the first time, and my 88 palette (and the elianto e/s in ivory as highlight)...and my Art Deco eye primer. Holy moly, primer+e/s = magic! Haha. I feel like an idiot, but oh well. I really wish I had more occasions to wear pretty e/s to. Also, I hadn't filled in my eyebrows in that picture.

I was wearing the elianto eyeliner and the elf blush in those pictures, too. I know my eyes don't look even, but I swear it's jsut because one is puffy from getting poked with a brush. XD I know I did a shabby job on blending, but well...I didn't know it would be so hard when there was a primer underneath! It's all worth it though.

I need new face powder...mine doesn't match my shade anymore.

A promise for a post when I wake up--

So, it's 3AM and I just got home...and I'm feeling sick to my stomach. There are just really some inconsiderate people in the world--I mean, I sure know that I was in a bar and all, and people smoke, but did those guys really have to keep blowing their ******* smoke in my direction? Holy moly, I smell like smoke.

I'm ALLERGIC to smoke and tobacco.

I'll be wheezing tomorrow--just now my throat is sore and my lungs heavy.

Oh well, that's the tradeoff for going to those things.

I can't wait for my mom to finish in the bathroom so I can take my turn (I am definitely taking a shower). I don't want to stink up my sheets and my bed...screw being tired.

Before we went to Punchline (good acts, but nothing I haven't seen before--I mean I saw them like last year, and this year their acts are still the same!) I had gone to a friend's, and while I was waiting for my friends to pick me up I ended up...well. Shopping! I was at Landmark after all...what else would I do? XD Too bad the mall had just opened so they were still restocking their shelves.

Anyway--haul post tomorrow...along with a funny story. And I'll be reviewing some things--mostly what I've bought recently. Also I've got an "LOTN" which I never wore out. I realized it wasn't a good idea to wear makeup like that to a bar where the performers make a living out of making fun out of people.

Alright! Roosters crowin'--that means it's time for me to go for a shower and sleep. I don't want to be a zombie tomorrow morning (even though I'm sure I'll be).
