FOTD & I went to MAC ;)

Hola mi amigos! I actually did my makeup today... my camera is dead right now so I just took a picture with my webcam... of course it looks wayyy better in person... I kinda stumbled upon the look and the crease color is actually this brown with a duochrome of a tealish/blue kinda color... it's called Velvet Lady. It's from the metallic eyes palette from the holiday collection Antiquitease. It's similiar to club, but I like this one because its super smooth (it's a VP.)

I'm thinking I might do a tutorial for it just cuz I love how the brown duochrome goes with the turquoise.... but it looks kinda similar to one I did already... or well, not really-- it's just this pic that looks like my first e/s tutorial. It's really quick/easy to do too.

In other news, I went to MAC today to get an eyeliner... the Penultimate. yeehaw. I haven't fully gotten to play around with it... but I did write my name in cursive on my hand... I should take a pic of that too... haha.

I'll probably write a mini review for it/take pix of it once I charge my camera. Anywhoo-- I think I'll stop with this entry... onto the two pix! NEW YEARS EVE IN ONE MORE DAY!

haha

The Holidays, & A Bright Blue & Purple tutorial

Hey Everyone! How are your guys' holidays going? Hope everyone is having a great time... I know I had a blast with my family/friends. Did you guys get anything especially cool for Christmas? Guess what I got from my cousins?! A WEBCAM!! YESSSS!! I've always wanted one, and what made me want one even more lately is because of Josh (petrilude.com check him out!)... he got a webcam & it's so dope with all the video effects & all that jazz... not to mention he is an enabler so we all know how that goes! hhahah. I'll have to take a couple pictures using the webcam with the effects because they're so funny! Oh and if you're wondering, it's a Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000. =D

This look is something you could do for New Years... It definitely has the "HEY LOOK AT MEHHH" factor going on haha. It kinda has a icey blue-wintery vibe going on I guess?

If you wanted to make it pop even more, you could add MAC's reflects blue (or any blue kind of glitter) on over the Haunting e/s... then add a bold hot pink lip. I did these both after I took these pictures below, but I really didn't like how the pictures turned out soo, no pictures of that to see, sorry lol.




PRODUCTS USED:
MAC Otherwordly paintpot
MAC Haunting e/s
MAC Atlantic Blue e/s
MAC Stars 'N Rockets e/s
MAC Carbon e/s
MUFE #92 e/s
Ben Nye Ice e/s
MAC California Dreamin' l/s
MAC Comet Blue dazzleglass

Last, but not least, here is the video tutorial for the look!

A Teal FOTD

So I still feel all under the weather... I got my airborne... my throat doesn't hurt like it did the last couple days, but I AM sneezing now. ARGH. Tonight is the Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya fight (GO PAC MAN! gotta represent the filipinos! lol) and my cousin is ordering it so my whole family is going over there but BLAH, I don't know if I'm going to go since I'm all like o_O. I said I'd go if I felt okay but ehh, we'll see.

Anyway, so I really was going to make that response video & maybe a tutorial, but since I'm feeling a bit drowsy I said forget it just because I'd end up taking off the makeup I put on for the tutorial so yeah. Here's an old FOTD from November '07... Hope you like it! (=






Thanks for reading! (=

Old FOTD & Youtube

Since I haven't taken any pictures of my makeup recently that I can show, posting up old FOTDs helps me not neglect this & get into the habit of posting... so here's another one! This one is from February.






EYES:
otherworldly paint pot
jewel blue e/s
nocturnelle e/s
grape p/m
carbon e/s
shroom e/s
crystal e/s
moth brown e/s

LIPS:
prep & prime lip
2n l/s
cushy white p/g
creme o spice l/l


I think I'm gonna make a YouTube video tomorrow... I was tagged by the lovely lollipop26 to make a video about what my 6 favorite brushes are... so hopefully I won't be lazy and I'll record one... then maybe I can do a video tutorial too... but probably not. hahah we'll see.

I'm pretty much stoked because I think I can actually go to bed at a NORMAL TIME tonight... yesterday I ended up chatting with Josh (aka petrilude) until I think like 530am... he's worse than me when it comes to sleeping at bizarre hours. haha. It sucks though because for some reason my throat started to bug me this afternoon...and I can still feel it... I used an Airborne earlier... I think I'm gonna wash up, drink another one and try to sleep. Wish me luck! haha. <3>

FOTD

Here's a look I did from July... if you're on any of the mac communities on LJ or on Specktra, you might have seen this already (as well as all the other old looks I'm gonna post haha.)





What I used:
MAC soft ochre paint pot
MAC carbon e/s
MUFE e/s #92
MUFE e/s #26
MAC chrome yellow e/s
MAC ricepaper e/s

Thanks for reading!

It's about time...

So it's about time I made myself one of these... all my makeup frandzzz have one and well, it's 2:54am & I'm bored/can't sleep! haha. Not to mention it's way easier to keep track of all the blogspots I read by having one for myself anyway. This also gives me something to occupy my time when I get bored (which is frequently, like for instance now.) I get blab about my favorite things in the world so HEY, I think that sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

I'm hoping I can keep this blog up and get into the habit of posting my FOTDs (I'll probably post old looks so I could keep track of those too), and post about other beauty chit chat... *crosses fingers* lol.

So here's the low down on me for my first post...

Name: Suzy
Location: sunny southern california (holler!)
Age: 24 (ugh, I'm old D:)
Ethnicity: filipinooo
Favorite makeup brands: MAC, MUFE, Kryolan, Ben Nye, Smashbox, Benefit, ahh the list goes on & on!
