A Beautiful Face

Recently I have to indulge myself with a new collection of office wardrobe and yes, make up! I'm going to have my first job here and clearly, I'm a renewed individual coming from my past, present pleasures and escapades to my ever recently health findings.

So here's what I got and is really a great find.  Simple yet its about it. You don't have to put on so much, which is why I always make the same statement over and over again when people address me I look pretty today, I'd say, "its just powder, blush and some gloss." But is it really only that.. I now have to evolve from the simple me, to a more sophisticated individual, since I have made a good remark with my power dressing, I have come to believe that I should pair it with a little eye make up.  And yes, smokey for evening of course.

Here are what my great finds from SEPHORA, Villagio branch, Doha, Qatar.  I believe I had a great buy, I had a cool ala LV Speedy giveaway bag in cobalt and some of their neat freebies as well..

NEVER forget to put on SUNBLOCK. Even if you don't get to be exposed directly, the fumes can still get into you, when you walk to the car park, when you ride the car, and just about the wind.  So here's what I've been using for the past years, and still counting.. :)) this is really GOOD..

So after drying the sunblock, I got Sephora's liquid foundation, I tried it on tonight, it's light, as if you're not wearing anything, it does great on my asian skin, and yes, I LOVE it! it smoothed all the way to my neck!

This powder I got just about last year, as recommended, It does look good especially on my skin.  It seems to blend in, mind you some powders make you feel like you plunged into a sea of baking powder.. 

This again is my new find, I love the lady, coz she gave me products of Sephora itself, and not of the other branded make ups.  These aren't as expensive as the rest but really, I mean totally works best yet you don't have to spend so much for it.  It has the Liquif-eye plus any eye shadow, then whalla!!.. instant eye shadow/liner.. :)

Another way to emphasize your cheeks would be to put a little bronzer and working it from the outer cheeks to the bottom, just slight, do not over do. It gives a little 3D on your face. Again, I got this last February.  But, you can opt not to use this and go straight for the blusher..

To top it off, this Shiseido Illumizing satin blush is soo adorable. I got this when i was in Hong Kong last July and it was their summer collection.  It really works well especially when you top it on the circles of your cheek, working your way to the outer, but not covering the bronzer.. of course..

 This one again is my new find. I got 2 shades of these! Aside from looking extra-GLamorous, It SMELLS GOOD! Soo fruity, but not too sticky.. You know what I mean of course.  I topped the darker shade on the inside of my lip, and over the top is the lighter shade, my my.. I look like a Million Dollars! ::) just like what you see in Magazines or what the celebs are wearing..

But remember, A face won't be beautiful if you don't WEAR a SMILE.. :)

Anyway, till next update.. I've been kinda busy.. all my sketches are pending and yes, I am taking it to the next level.. kisses and World Peace!!!

Paris is LOVE

Coming back from Paris

It's almost everyone's dream to go to Paris and here I am on the foot of the Eiffel Tower, storming through the busy streets of the Opera where the ever infamous Galerie LaFayette is situated, with Printemps along side by side.. towering masses of rich architecture and lavish intricate details in decour, it sure emanates the rich culture left by the historical Kings & Queens, Artists and Doctors, you sure would have goosebumps all over. From paintings of the 15th century to the sculptures of the 700 A.D., to the grand musseo d' Louvre to the arc le' Triumph de Etoile, to the long Champ de' Elysees, designer shoppes all lined up to get in, especially the ever famous 4 story Louis Vuitton store.


The irony though is that people from all parts of the world would really want to have a Parisian experience, and what Paris is bashing would be the fashion of New York all over their store windows and show cases.. So all this time, even the center of fashion, has its Love for American Fashion. 


All these, from people to food, to their clothing, daily routine and tradition, falling in Love, kissing and smooching just anywhere, the City of Lights has dawned on me, and I sure will go back.
