░ New Year's Day: FOTD & OOTD ░

★ Happy New Year everyone! ★

It's officially January 1, 2011.

I just want to share what I wore during the family dinner tonight. 

►HAIR: As you can very much see, I put it up in a big bun.

I didn't feel like wearing my hair down tonight. 

►EYES: I used the Stardust E/S palette in "Totally Neutral" from Nichido that Noe Mae Villagonzalo of Colorismyweapon gave me. It contains three E/S, which is perfect to use since it already has the shade for highlighting, for the outer V and for the base. I used Maybelline's Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner to line my eyes; curled my lashes and applied mascara as usual.

►FACE: The usual foundation and concealing routine; patted on some setting powder, and applied a little blush from The Body Shop (Roseflower Blush 02) 

►LIPS: I had on Etude House's VIP Girl Dear Darling Lips PK007 also given to me by Noe Mae. (I adore the color by the way!)

►OUTFIT: I wore a body-hugging top, jeans, flats, and my sister Iza's military blazer.

►BAG: That is not an Hermes Birkin. It's an unbranded bag which I bought from the mall for P700.00. Yes, it has the same features as the Birkin bag but it is not a rip-off because I am not claiming it as such. 

►That ring I am wearing on my left hand is also from Noe Mae. It's really pretty!

Have a great year, everyone!

Love, Say ♥

░ Beauty Tutorial: High Fashion on Iza Artillero ░

*Before anything else, I would like to greet all my 

readers a Happy New Year!*

I had so much fun filming with my little sister that I asked her to model for me again. This time, I went all high fashion on her. I wanted to go out of my comfort zone and try something new. I really did not have any concept in mind. I just went with my instincts and came out with this gorgeous look. I am glad that all the clips were recorded and safely saved.

Before filming, I styled and curled her hair first with my JML Ceramic Hair Straightener.  I wanted soft and elegant curls for her. True enough, her hairstyle matched her makeup and her outfit (which she put together herself) as well.

The three drawn-on lashes certainly created drama on the eyes. The colors gold and silver are definitely perfect for the New Year. I wanted to create a fuschia undertone but realized that it didn't matter if I applied it or not. The colors gold and silver showed up as is. As I told you, I was experimenting! (laughs) The usual contours on the nose and the face definitely enhanced my sister's features. For the lips, I wanted a deep reddish-plum with a hint of velvety texture. Before applying the dry E/S, I applied a super moisturizing lip balm which my sister simple adores because of its amazing moisturizing agent, water micro-spheres! 

For the fashion part, you may have to visit my sister's site to read it.  (http://www.thestyleprodigy.blogspot.com)
