Dark Shadows’ Angelique Inspired Makeup Tutorial

“And burn, baby, burn!” Don’t you just love her? I don’t know about you, but I secretly wish for Barnabas and Angelique to end up together. They’re such a sexy couple! Here’s my take on Angelique’s makeup which is inspired by the one she wore during the Collins’ Ball. My Dark Shadows’ Angelique Inspired Makeup Tutorial can be viewed at my new Youtube Channel. :)

I love her so much that I even did my hair! My curling iron has failed me countless times (or I just suck at it) so I decided to try out Curlformers instead. They are all the rave online! And now I know why. They DO work! :D And to think I used these on dry hair with no curling or hair products whatsoever (except for hair spray to make the curls last longer).

Angelique and I clearly have different skin tones. So in an effort to be true to the look, I used a foundation which is two shades lighter than mine. But you used BB Cream! I know. But BB Cream can be used as moisturizer, face primer or foundation. Owkies? :)

P.S. Did you notice the wing earring I wore? :D Ahhhh! Can’t get enough of her. She’s too perfect…and crazy. She’s a crazy woman but I love her still. :) Inspiration picture.

Ending with goofy photos of myself! XD I take A LOT of pictures for every look, sift through everything and pick out the best shots for every post. Blogging is some serious stuff! Smiling and smizing in front of the camera can be VERY tiring…the result? TADA!

Smokey Cat Eye Makeup Tutorial

This post is way overdue! But better late than never right? :D Anyway, a good friend of mine, Carla, sent me pictures for makeup inspiration…all were gorgeous looks! But I decided to do the easy one first. :)

And here we have, the smokey cat eye. Who says only eyeliners can make your eyes look feline? You can do the same with eyeshadows as well. If you want a cleaner more precise cat eye shape, then I suggest placing a tape at the corners of your eyes. I’ll make a tutorial using this technique tomorrow. :)

Shisheido Benefiance Foundation
Krave Minerale Luxurious Perfection Foundation (Cafe Latte)
Krave Minerale Oil Eliminator and Hydrator

I don’t know if you noticed, but I had my eyebrows done on this video! :D I look weird, but it does make my eye makeup look..cleaner. Gosh! I have never seen my brows look so tamed!

And about the lashes, gah! I do not understand what happened. But I’m pretty sure the box contained eyelashes for both the left eye. T^T I really didn’t notice it until I took pictures for the final look. My apologies.

Anyhoo, watch out for my makeup tutorial that will be live over the weekend! I just watched “Dark Shadows” last wednesday and I knew I just had to do an FOTD inspired by one of their characters. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp…perfect combination! However, I expected a little too much from the trailer. Dark Shadows is a good movie nonetheless.

Ever Bilena Mousse Eyeshadow in Topaz

First Impressions. Walked around the mall today and found this! I have heard about Ever Bilena Mousse Eyeshadows from other beatuy bloggers here in the Philippines and they seem to have good reviews. Little me was curious and with a price tag of P75.00 each I figured, why not? :D

First off, there is A LOT of product in this tiny pot! And a little goes a long long way so I imagine this will last me for months. Taking into consideration that I don’t really wear makeup let alone sport a blue eyeshadow for everyday. However, I did use this as an eyelid base and it does work!

These mousse eyeshadows from Ever Bilena are also extremely pigmented. I would have wanted this to be in a matte finish though. As you can see from the swatch, it doesn’t really register well under bright light. But in real life, it comes off as a true electric blue with shimmers. :)

Overall, I really like this product. Maybe next time I’d buy Rose Quartz and Amber. Pretty neutral shades which I think I’ll be using more as primers for my powdery eyeshadows. :D

Disney Princesses Makeup Look Collaboration

Remember my tweet about wanting to be part in a makeup collaboration? Well, I contacted two fellow beauty bloggers last week and they so graciously agreed to join me! :D Thank you very much to Jannah and Georgia. See their looks at the end of this post. :)

Can you guess which Disney Princess I am? :D Aladdin has got to be one of my favorite movies which I grew up with and actually remembered. I LoOoOoVE JASMINE! From her hair to her costume. She’s very outspoken and rebellious too. She’s pretty on the outside but quite tough on the inside. I think every girl should be as confident as she is! And yet remain as humble as ever like Jasmine. Plus, having a tiger as a pet, in my opinion, makes her the most bad ass among all other disney princesses! :D

Here are the list of products I used for this look:

Props, Tools and Cosmetics Mardi Gras Palette
Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation (Nat Beige)
Maybelline Blush in Fresh Coral
NYX Lip Pencil in Rosette
NYX Round Lipstick in Tea Rose
Nichido Kohl Pencil in Onyx
Suesh Brush Set
Beauty Cosmetics Blending Brushes
Marrionaud Slanted Blush Brush
Charm Flat Top Brush

I’ll not be making a step by step tutorial on how I did this look because I made a video tutorial for it! :D OMG. It’s the first one I ever made. So please be nice! Haha. Princess Jasmine Inspired Make-up Look.
