░ Beauty Tutorial: Moonlight Seduction by Michelle Phan ░

Last Tuesday, I attended my friend's (Leslie Bumongcag) cocktail party. She turned 18 on June 30, 2010. There wasn't a doubt in my head that Michelle Phan's Moonlight Seduction look will be perfect for the event. You can say that I already memorized the process of applying this look. I just had to check again and see if I was doing it correctly. I was thinking all the while, "Hot pink, highlight color, violet, black, navy blue, light shimmering blue, baby pink..."  This look is one of my favorites among all the other looks Michelle Phan created. You can also tell that I have new contacts on. I just had an eye appointment and my grades went up! This is insane. I have 4.00 on both eyes. Terrible, I know. Anyway. The contact lenses are 3-toned. Yellow inner rim, blue in the middle and a dark blue outer rim. They fit well for me. I like them very much. 
As for the products which I used to create this look, I used DollFace Cosmetic's 96 color Palette for the eyes (except the Hot Pink color which I used from my MAC Quad). For the lips I used Maybelline's Watershine Lipstick in P24 over Nivea's Lip Balm in Strawberry and lined my lips with Nichido's Lip Liner in Rosette. I used my MAC Sheertone Blush in Pink Swoon for the cheeks. No contouring. Oh, and the most recent change I've done is switch foundations! In these photos I have Revlon's PhotoReady Makeup in Medium Beige 006 on. It's the best foundation I've used in years! I love how the photochromatic pigments bend and reflect light *as said in the ads* and gives a great outcome in photos. I bought it for P975.00 and this serves as a little review about it. I still can't find the time to make a vlog or video to share my thoughts about this product since I am so busy with school. If I get the chance, believe me, I will. THE PHOTOS BELOW ARE NOT EDITED. At the end of this post, you can watch the tutorial I made on my YouTube Channel months ago. It's a remake of Michelle Phan's Moonlight Seduction. I'll be updating this blog more often now! I apologize for my MIA. 
This is my boyfriend of almost two years, Paulo. 
We're going to celebrate our second year on July 30.
Just a little photo to show you what I wore that night. I borrowed this beautiful dress from my younger sister. The lace details sure made the whole look more elegant! 
I had a haircut!!! Can you tell?

Here is the embed of my tutorial. I hope you enjoy watching!

░ Wishlist ░

Tomorrow's the 6th! I'll be turning 19 tomorrow! I don't know if I'll be able to film a birthday vlog tomorrow, since I don't think I'll have the time... But I'll blog about it, just so you guys are updated. I just wanted to create a short update entry in this blog where I'll be sharing some of the things which I want to get in the next months. 
First on my list is the 88 Earth Tone Palette from DollFace Cosmetics (which I'll actually be receiving any day now) because the owner of DollFace, Pearl Sarcauga, decided to send me a FREE palette as a token of appreciation for telling friends about DollFace. What can I say? DollFace is worth advertising! My friends love it! Even my friends' moms love it! I won't really advertise anything if I don't personally use it or disapprove of its quality. DollFace is something I see myself using in the next years to come. Oh, and just a quick announcement, I will be collaborating with Pearl for a contest on my YouTube Channelhttp://www.youtube.com/saytiocoartillero wherein she will be sponsoring. We still need to brainstorm so I'll just post when everything's ready! This is just a head's up, and I hope many will join and get to win amazing stuff from DollFace!

Second on my list would be the 12 Piece Brush Set (Pink) also from DollFace. It's actually very affordable at only P900.00 (plus shipping fee of P50.00 in my area so that would amount to P950.00) This set caught my eye primarily because it's pink and I really like the structure of the brushes. It basically has everything that you need to have when applying makeup. See here (L-R): a powder brush, a blush brush, a foundation brush, a large, medium and small eyeshadow brush, a pencil brush, a lip brush, a precise eyeliner brush, an angled eyeliner brush, a spooly, and an eyebrow comb+brush. I'll be ordering this set as soon as I can. Who can say "No." to this one? (For more DollFace products, visit http://www.dollfacecosmetics.com.ph)

Third on my list would be this vanity mirror from Suesh*I got this photo from Suesh's site, and I am not claiming it as my own.* Its intro price is P2,500.00. I've been looking all over malls just to find something like this, but all I found was lighted bathroom  mirrors which don't have true to life setting of indoor and outdoor lighting like Suesh Vanity mirror does. The others have yellow lights which isn't really the perfect light to apply makeup with. You end up applying too little or too much! Why? Because the light just doesn't fit the occasion. 

Fourth on my list would be Revlon's ColorStay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick. "The touch-up is now history." Here's a little something about this product: It's food-proof, meaning even if you eat a creamy serving of carbonara or spaghetti, the color will still stay on. It lasts up to 12 hours, no topcoat is required, and it is comfortable to wear. It says here in this brochure (that I'm going through right now) that this product doesn't dry out the lips, doesn't flake, doesn't feather and just stays put. "Just the right amount of luster, not too shiny, not to matte." When applying, you should allow it to dry for 60 seconds. What I love is that is has about 15 shades to choose from. Let's see, we have Supreme Sienna, Top Notch Tulip, Maximum Mocha, Miracle Mauve, Suberb Sangria, Regal Rose, Top Tomato, Premium Pink, Stellar Sunrise, Premiere Plum, Brilliant Bordeaux, Perfect Peony, Grand Garnet, Prized Peach and Platinum Petal.  


Fifth on my list would be (another one from Revlon) Revlon PhotoReady Makeup. I think I've mentioned my wanting to switch foundations because I think I've had enough of Maybelline's Aqua Gel Foundation, not because it's not a good product, but because I want to try something new. This product has photo-chromatic pigments which bend and diffuse light to help erase every flaw. It gives a complete yet undetectable coverage. It gives you a soft, luminous finish, it has SPF 20, oil free, and fragrance free. I think it costs about P995.00 at Watsons stores. They have the shades of Shell, Nude, Natural Beige, Medium Beige, and Cool Beige. I'm not sure which fits my skin color, so I'm going to have to do swatches and see which shade fits me the most. I'm planning to buy this on my birthday since my AGF is already (almost) empty.

So, that ends my entry for now. I have my top 5 on this list. The rest will just follow... And you know I'll always post reviews about anything that I'll be trying out so you can count on that. 

I'll be creating a new workout blog tonight! I've been itching to do so since I've started working out. I want to actually share my eating habits, how I do exercises, what I use when working out, what exercises I do, my progress, and all those things! I'm really in love with this workout site www.bodyrock.tv and I suggest this to anyone out there who wants to lose weight! I am trying out workouts from this site and watch out for my Workout Blog for more details!
