Airbrush Makeup and Half Updo for Katrina

  It's been quite a while since I last posted an entry here and for the most part I have been very busy with work.  Aside from that I have been getting more freelance hair and makeup jobs during the weekends.  So, yay! =)

  Earlier this year I have given my niece a makeover and if you want to see how it went please continue reading.  =) 

Before the makeover

Roll-N-Go Cosmetic Bag, Home For My Brushes

  There's no such thing as too many brushes for a makeup enthusiast let alone an aspiring makeup artist.  =P  Since I've started amassing all of these makeup and tools my biggest dilemma have always been where to store them.  Sure enough I have tried brush rolls and brush canisters.  But I always end up exceeding their capacity.  =P  Good thing I came across this Instagram store selling Divisoria items and saw they were carrying Roll-N-Go cosmetic bags.  I forgot the name of the store but I remember I got my Roll-N-Go for around PhP 250 only!!!  I know they go much higher than that price at other stores so I grabbed the chance to buy from them.

Unboxing: Tokyo Love Soap

  If you love Japanese beauty products chances are you might be familiar with this particular brand of soap.  I've been seeing these in Instagram for the last few weeks but paid no attention.  Until I got curious and went online to learn more about Tokyo Love Soap (I will refer to the brand as TLS in this post).  These soaps are manufactured by Happy Price Co. Ltd. in Japan.  There seem to be four permanent variants available and luckily buytokyolovesoap.com.ph sent me samples of each for review which I'll do in a later post.

  The back of each box looks like this and everything is in Japanese except for the "Made in Japan" printed at the bottom =P

Tools: Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

  Having hooded eyelids and stick-straight lashes make it a necessity for me to curl them each time I do my makeup.  But I've always used the cheaper eyelash curlers found at the mall.  I know nothing compares to Shu Uemura's iconic eyelash curler but I just don't see the point of spending that much cash on this particular item.  That is until I found an online seller who retails this item for only PhP 750 (mall price: PhP 1000+).  And it was very timely that my other eyelash curler just won't curl my lashes anymore even if I changed the pads. =(     

        

EOTD: Using Urban Decay Psychedelic Sister Eyeshadow

  So, I was checking out my makeup palettes hoping to get some inspiration and I noticed my Urban Decay I ♥ NY palette.  I barely touched it and the only eyeshadow I was using from this one is the matte black. =P  I love the colors but the shimmer can sometimes be too over the top.  Then I noticed this purple on the lower right hand corner and it's just so pretty I gotta use it.  =)
