DIY : Create your own lip palette

Hello darlings..

I really feel like this is the best decision i've ever made (makeup related) !

I was inspired to do a DIY project and decided to make my own lip palette. I have a bunch of lipsticks that were sadly abandoned and scattered all over the place. It was really hard for me to notice and use all of them.

These are some of the reasons why i decided to do this:

a) because they are too bulky and as a makeup artist i can't be traveling with all of them
b) it's too tedious to keep opening and closing the cap to decide which colour to choose
c) i love to organize all of my makeup so that it's more practical and convenient for me to put a good use to each and every one of them
d) i'm a little anal with organizing all my stuff especially my makeups
e) really easy to travel with

So this is how they look like...

Let's move on to the process..

Our little bundle of joy precious pictures and video posing inside the womb at 28 weeks

Hey everyone!

My heart melts each and every time i look at these 4D ultrasound photos of my little princess. I'm sure any mother would feel the same way about their baby. I still can't believe that i have a little human being growing inside my tummy.. hahaha!

What makes it even more special is this one particular photo. In this photo, she had this cheeky smile and made a 'peace' sign with her long little fingers... awwww...

*melts* I can't wait to snuggle this naughty little girl!

"Hmmm.. i wonder why momma loves Sigma brushes so much. Can't wait to play with those brushes!"

"Huwaaaa!! mommy i want all of your makeup collectionnnnnn!" LOL

I also have videos of her playing with her chubby cheeks, putting all of her fingers inside the mouth, making funny expressions etc..

This is one of them..



She pulled her own cheek, played with her face and put her index finger inside her mouth. There are more funny videos of her doing her stuff. Maybe i'll upload them later (only if you want to see them). lol

My precious little princess will be ready in March..

"Till then, take care gorgeous aunts (and/or sisters hihihi).. I'll see u in 2months time.." says baby RZ..

Adele Inspired Makeup Look

Who doesn't love Adele? I know i do..
This makeup is inspired by her..

Have u noticed that certain angle makes my face looks chubbier? That's because i AM a little chubby at the moment. I have entered my 3rd and final trimester and i think it is normal to get water retention at this point of pregnancy.

My little angel is still baking in the oven. Did i tell u that i'm having a PRINCESS? I can't be happier! She'll be ready in March, insyaallah.. I really can't wait to enter another phase called 'motherhood'. I know i'll be enjoying it!

Let's enjoy the pictures...

XOXO,

Kim Kardashian Inspired - A Simple Tutorial on Her Christmas Card Look

Happy New Year 2012!

I was intrigued to try this look when i saw Dulce Candy did it on YT. Although i think i should darken the lips a bit, but i totally forgotten about it. Talking about "momnesia" or "pregnancy brain" LOL...

Here's my take on her look

Tutorial :

1) Prime your lids and eyebrows (i always prime my eyebrows as well). I used Urban Decay Primer Potion
2) Eyebrows should be neat. Mine weren't.hihihihi.. i filled my eyebrows with Embark from MAC
3) Draw a line from the corner of your eye up towards the end of your brow. I used an angled brush+black eyeshadow from Sleek Palette
4) Then i applied MAC's Satin Taupe on the lids, some cork on the crease to blend it. I also darken the outer corner with Embark (a matte dark brown). Blend in with Cork. Apply Embark on your lower lash line
5) I applied MAC Shroom under the brow bone and inner corners for highlight

6) Draw another parallel line under the 1st line we drew just now starting from the lower lashline

7) Fill in the gap between the 2 lines with white eyeliner

8) I traced both the outlines i drew earlier with black liquid eyeliner
9) Curl your lashes, apply mascara and falsies
10) Contour your cheekbone. I used Bourjois Bronzing Powder (the one tkat looks and smells like chocolate). One of my favourite products
11) I used a natural blush which is called Equilibrium from MAC. Click here if you want to see the swatches
12) Lips- I used a lipstick in Cherry from NXY and a red lipgloss from H&M lipgloss stacks that my sister bought for me from London

It should look something like this at this point. You can do better as i was in a hurry

Till the next post,
XOXO
