❤ Happy Valentines day to everyone! ❤

For this Valentines, I thought of coming with looks and makeup you can do for your special date. Accidentally, I'm doing this with "Kiss the girl" from Little Mermaid as my soundtrack. lol I'm no makeup artist, so I can't give you a tutorial but just the overall look.

Below I have the all natural look. We all know guys like the no-makeup look. So in this picture I used foundation, pressed powder, tons of mascara, pencil eyeliner, eyebrow liner and some blush on the cheeks to add color. To add to the look I took two hairpins so my hair would stay away from the face to give a romantic girly look. I am currently in love with bedhaid hair so I left the waves as they are.

Here's another look that deals more with eye shadow. For the hair style, it is a messy top knot and with two strands of hair at the sides. If it's not messy, just grab the sides of your head and pull your hair a bit. That'll do.

Front look.

A closer look on the eyeshadow.

I used Urban Decay as eye primer and I'm surprised at how "alive" my eyeshadow became. Will give a review on this next time.

Now, spread love to your fellow mates!

Happy Valentines! :)

My mentor... Dearest Audrey Hepburn

 Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's

At most things except sports, I have to admit that I'm a late bloomer. I was the last one to do my eye brows, last one to shave my legs, last one to do my make up (although lately getting more serious about it), last one to get a crush and the list goes on. I'm also a late bloomer when it comes to looking up to someone else because all my life I had myself to depend on. I'm not complaining. It's nice to be independent.

That was until I got fed up hearing about other people raving about Audrey Hepburn and Breakfast at Tiffany's. I heard it everywhere and at that time, I wasn't so into the Classic movies. I was thinking that it must be so boring because it's just black and white. Out of all of her movies, I chose Breakfast at Tiffany's. I-was-mesmerized. No wonder she is an icon.

 

I love all of her movies Breakfast at Tiffany's, Roman  Holiday, Sabrina, The Nun's Story and My Fair Lady are among my favorites.

Her onscreen presence is quite amazing and she's really adorable. Other than her movies, I love her make up as she kept it natural. I do believe though that she filled her eyebrows with pencil to make them thicker. Her doe eyed eyes are also something you can't ignore. I simply love her style as it was simple yet elegant. So lady like.

Who else can also not think all of her quotes are memorable? I included only a few among many.

She for me was the whole package, elegant, beautiful, generous and kind. Her acting career lasted from 1949 - 1989. From 1989 and onwards she was a humanitarian. I find it admirable that she was far from selfish. She used her money also to reach out to those who needed it.

So in memory of her, this whole post has been dedicated to yours truly,

Do you idolize Audrey Hepburn? Who is your mentor? I'd love to hear from you. :)

A real Steal: I ♥ U Tweezers just in time for Valentines

I was at the Grocery the other day looking for a Tweezer because my other half conveniently used my favorite tweezer to rebuild his automizer on his Mechanical Mod (yes, I know how this sounds :).

Picture included for you who have no idea what I'm talking about. It's like an Electric Cigarette but this one has a battery instead. Okay, for short it's used for vaping. The healthy version of smoking. Better for my skin and his skin anyways.

So going back to my hunt in finding a tweezer. I am very choosy when it comes to buying and keeping a good tweezer. I have all of these already and my other half has already included them as parts of his toolkit. Convenient for me as I had have no need for them. I used to have around ten but somehow I always tend to lose them. Am I the only one? O_o

 Look at that tip!

I'm sort of glad he used my tweezer as I found an excuse to get another one. Yay! As I searched through the endless tweezers (as I said I'm choosy because there are many that are not effective) I saw this one cute piece that I just couldn't leave without.
 
Oh boy am I glad because this is the tweezer that turned my world around. I loved the sharp edges and it managed to really grab and hold each hair so tight that even the smalles hairs could not hide from me. Just look at how cute it is in purple! :)

Closer look on the tip.

I have to say, it did not disappoint me. It's just as good and the rubber is amazing and feels better for your grip. It does even more than it's supposed to do. I promise you, this is one tweezer you cannot overlook if you are as OC about your eyebrows as I am.

Where:

I found them at Shopwise. They were in this see through box with a green background (will take a picture when I get back there).

Real steal as they only cost me Php 48 or about 80 cents - 1 USD. These even sell on some websites for at least about 3 USD up. Yay for me!

Love 'em! ^_^

xoxo,
