FOTD: My Everyday Look

This is my first time to post something like this, so please, please bear with me. :D And FOTD still stands for Face of the Day and not Friend of the Devil. LOL.

So here it goes. ;)

Me and my favorite (and applicable) statement shirt. LOL.

This is my everyday look. It's just simple because I only go to school  on weekdays and malls on weekends. That's it, the life of an accounting student. LOL. I just play around with colors depending on my mood, and at times, I mean most of the times, do winged lines on my eyelids.

Here are the products I've used to create this look:

Etude House BB Magic Cream Refreshing
Tony Moly Baby Doll Pot Concealer Natural Beige
Maybelline Clear Smooth Extra Shine Free Powder Foundation Honey
Fashion 21 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
Avon Glimmersticks Eyeliner Blackest Black
Avon Simply Pretty Long Lash Waterproof Mascara
Etude House Styling Eyeliner 02 White
elf Natural Radiance Blush in Glow
Lip Ice Lipbalm in Strawberry

Sophie Martin J'adore Lipstick Summer Pink

For this look, I focus on my eyes. I usually line my eyelids thicker than the usual (but not excessively thick as with ulzzangs and gyarus) because my eyes are small and I use my comfy eyeglasses all the time. (I still haven't decided when I'm gonna use contact lens because they're not supposed to be ordinary contact lens, I need toric lens. They're not as inexpensive as contact lens and I'm scared of wasting money in case I find it too difficult to use and maintain. Any suggestions, dearies?)

Anyway, I find makeup fun (though I think I should also have fun reading my books and reviewers) and I always look forward to that 10-20 minutes of making my face before being harassed by the hustle and bustle of Metro Manila. :)

Review: Ellana Minerals Blush in Lust

A few days after Ellana had sent me the free samples, I bought a mineral blush from them in Lust. It's the first product I've ever bought from them and I'm sure I'll be purchasing more in the future.

Ellana Minerals Blush in Lust (P180 for 2.5g, P100 for 1g)

According to their catalog, Ellana Minerals blushes are a soft-toned powder blushes that are easy to blend, with a light formula that gives you a dusting of color that instantly livens up your complexion.

Lust is a peach pink with sheer gold shimmer.

As far as I'm concerned, I've got a medium light to medium skin tone. And I actually don't know if I've made a wrong decision in purchasing Lust because it's for medium to deep skin tones. But I guess, the blush is still wearable in my case.

Pros:

• It's mineral! And mineral claims to be non-comedogenic. It's your face's friend.

• Highly pigmented. A light tap of brush on the blush can already do wonders to your cheeks. Just be careful not to overdo it.

• It's affordable unlike other mineral make up which cost thousands. It's only P180 for 2.5-gram of glam blush.

Cons:

• It comes in a tub which tends to be messy. It's probably the number one flaw of this product.

• Since my face is really oily, I'm not sure if it can last for at least 5-6 hours.

Nevertheless, I still recommend Ellana Minerals for those ladies with or without sensitive skin. Anyway, it's still minerals and easy on the pocket.

Here's a photo of mine with the Lust blush on. Can you see the hint of peach in my cheeks? :D

You can catch Ellana Minerals booth in the SM Megamall weekend bazaar. It's front of the supermarket (Bldg. B) from Fridays to Sundays.
