<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hey, everyone! :) This is my Iron Man-inspired makeup look for my The Avengers series. I did my best to incorporate all the elements and colors of Iron Man's costume. I also used products that are available here in the Philippines. And I did Iron Man first because.......well, he's awesome! I mean, who doesn't like Iron Man?!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You are applying your makeup and you are done doing your foundation and your eye shadow. You admire yourself for doing such a good job with your eyes and face. Now you apply mascara like you normally would. After that, you see a huge black spot either on your nose or your cheek. You get a cotton bud and erase it, but you only made it worse by smudging it more. Right then, when you blinked/closed your eyes, mascara marks are now all over your under-eye area! So, you get your concealer and dabbed it on, but it still won't totally hide it and ruined your flawless foundation application! Therefore, you curse the mascara gods and question why mascara application can be so messy. (Who can relate to this? I can. Haha!) </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cleaning up mascara mishaps can be a pain. So today, I'll give you a quick fix for this kind of accident. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's important to wait for the mascara smear to dry before you try taking it out. When you clean it up when it's wet, it would tend to spread and smudge more. By drying it first, the mascara will harden and flake, making it easier to remove by using a cotton bud. You can use one that's dry or dipped in moisturizer/makeup remover. Whatever works for you! :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Your eyebrow color can help change your look. Of course, your choice will depend on different factors: personal preference, age, skin color, hair color, occasion, etc. When you choose an eyebrow color, you have to pick one that would be best for you. Here are some tips on choosing the perfect shade for your brows:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. If you have dark hair, you should go 2-3 shades lighter than your hair color.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. If you have light hair, you should go 2-3 shades darker than your hair color.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. If you are blonde, don't go for blonde brows! It will only wash out your face and it won't really help sculpt your face. Instead, go for a soft taupe shade.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. For a more 'edgy' look, you can always go for a darker shade.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. When you think you put on a color that's too dark, it can be remedied by applying brow mascara in a lighter or blonde shade.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6. It is best to use an angled eyebrow brush when applying eyebrow powders/gels.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">7. For softer-looking eyebrows, use gentle feathery strokes rather than harsh straight lines. The strokes will mimic the hairs on your eyebrows, therefore creating a more natural look.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">8. If you keep changing your hair color, get a universally flattering TAUPE color. :) I feel that taupe shades can fit a lot of hair colors and skin tones. (BTW, taupe is a grayish brown or brownish gray color. It depends on the shade.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">*Note that these tips might not work for everyone. These are just some of the rules that you can keep in mind in choosing the right eyebrow shade. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I rarely go outside without filling in my eyebrows. For me, it just doesn't feel right! I tend to be O.C. when it comes to my eyebrows and I feel that it just has to look perfect. I really take my time in filling in eyebrows and I guess it's my most favorite in doing makeup. For months, I have been experimenting with ways I can fill in my brows using different products. In this quick tutorial, I'll use three eyebrow products and some other tools that may come in handy. Note that this method is not the only method for filling in brows. You can skip steps if you want because we all have different eyebrows and preferences.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Eyebrows are the new emphasis of the face. </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">In magazines nowadays, photoshoots, ads and television, the trend right now is beautifully shaped, full and defined eyebrows. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Your eyebrows can frame your eyes just like your hair can frame your face. Hence, it is important that you know how to groom and fill in your brows to make your face lifted. Today, I'll teach you some of my eyebrow tips. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">1. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">DON'T OVER-PLUCK.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> - Please put down that tweezer after you have plucked the stray hairs off your eyebrows! There is nothing pretty about over-tweezed brows.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">2. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">FAKE IT WITH CONCEALER.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> - If you can't go to the threading/waxing salon because of some reason, and you can't stand going somewhere without having perfect brows, go ahead and dab concealer on parts with stray hairs!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">3. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">KNOW YOUR FACE SHAPE.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> - Your face shape will determine the shape of your brows. Like if you have a round face, your eyebrows should have a higher "arch" to make it look slimmer. And if you have sharper features and angles, you can probably lower or soften your eyebrow arch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">4. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">SYMMETRY IS IMPORTANT.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> - Of course, you'd want your eyebrows to look alike. But remember this: "Your eyebrows should look like <u>sisters</u>, not <i>twins</i>."--some old eyebrow proverb</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">5. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">PRACTICE.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> - With practice, you can do anything better. You can practice using different tools and products that would suit your eyebrows. Start with eyebrow pencils, powders and gels--whatever works for your unique brow shape!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">*Keep in mind that there are different eyebrow shapes. <i>There is no one specific brow shape for all of us!</i> In the end, it all boils down to personal preference for the look that you are going for.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">*Symmetrical brows do not exist. Makeup and grooming just creates the illusion of having them.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">*If you are having a hard time shaping and filling in your brows...y</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">ou can even buy<u> eyebrow stencils</u> to make your life easier! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most of us are dealing with dark under-eye circles--maybe because of stress, lack of sleep or just genes. And because of this, we may even look older than our real age. People have asked me how to properly conceal the dark circles under their eyes so they will look less tired and more refreshed. Some of them have claimed that even when they put concealer, their eye bags do change color (from dark to light), but would stand out more (look puffy), rather than be hidden. My answer to this is simple. Apply your concealer in a triangular form! :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I CALL IT THE YOUTH TRIANGLE TRICK.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now wait, what? Youth triangles? What are those? Let me explain. The youth triangles of your face are these:</span><br />

Eyelid Primer<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have hooded eyelids. Hooded eyelids are eyelids without the usual visible "crease" on standard eyes. When you look straight to a mirror and you don't see your eyelids, it means you have hooded eyes. It frustrates me at times because when I apply eye makeup, and open my eyes, it's as if I didn't apply any eye shadow at all! Plus, when I wear eye shadow, my lids tend to get oilier as the day progresses which results to a lot of creasing or oil bundling up on the folds of my eyes. And that's not a pretty site! Good thing makeup companies have thought of a solution...eye shadow primers!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Eye shadow primers are what you put on your eyelids prior to eye shadow application. It helps your eye shadow to stay put the entire day, prevents creasing by controlling oil and makes the color of the eye shadows more intense. So here I am with a Beauty Smackdown for two eye shadow primers: </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Contestant #1 - <u>Urban Decay Primer Potion in Original</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Stats: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Urban Decay is not available in the Philippines :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Priced at Php900-1200 in most online shops</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Urban Decay describes the product as "coveted by makeup artists and makeup junkies alike because it guarantees more vibrant eye shadow that lasts for 24 hours and NEVER CREASES!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- contains 11ml of product and comes in a squeeze tube</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">YAYS</span>:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- The packaging! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With this tube packaging, you'll definitely get more bang for your buck! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Before, it used to be a "potion" type and has a bent doe foot applicator (which was unhygienic btw), but you wouldn't really get all of the product out!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Packaging is more hygienic. Makeup artists can definitely use this product!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- It does what it says! Minimal to no creasing even after 8hrs and the eye shadows stay put no matter what. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- When used, eye shadows have increased color intensity, compared to when using no primers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- It absorbs into your skin fast and appears invisible once set.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- It has no smell.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">NAYS:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- It is quite sticky, which could cause your eye shadow application to be uneven. You have to use a light hand to blend.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- It is so expensive.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- It contains parabens.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- It is unavailable in our country.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Stats:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Available at elf counters in SM dept stores and other drug stores</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Costs Php 129.75</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- The Eyes Lips Face website describes that this product preps your lids for smoother, long-lasting and crease-proof eye shadow.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">YAYS:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- It is true to its claim--eye shadow lasts longer, no creasing and makes eye shadow application smoother and easier.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- The product is readily available in several e.l.f. counters.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- It is so cheap! :) Php 129.75 is a pretty fair price to pay for a product so effective such as this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- It is not a sticky base. It dries into a smooth powder-like finish, which helps in applying eye shadow easily.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- It also has no smell.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- It is mineral based so I feel that this is good for your skin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">NAYS:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- I don't like the packaging of this product. It comes in a tube with a sponge-tip applicator. You wouldn't get all the product out of the tube with this kind of packaging. I guess it's okay if it's for personal use only, but for MUAs it's something to consider. At the neck of the tube, there's a bit of drying of the product, because of the wand applicator which pumps air in and out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- Since the product is not a sticky base, eye shadows don't easily "cling" to it. It doesn't have the intensifying color effect compared to the UDPP. But this can be remedied by using high quality/highly pigmented eye shadows instead.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think both of these products are great at making your eye shadow crease-proof and last all day. The main difference between them is that the elf one does not "grab" eye shadows the same way as the UDPP does, because it is not sticky. I think this makes the elf product more user-friendly especially for beginners in eye shadow application. Although the Urban Decay primer really helps enhance the color pay off of your eyeshadows, I feel that it is recommended for experienced users or for MUAs who know how to work with this product. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also, the elf primer has a milder formulation since it is mineral-based, as compared to the UDPP which has a different formulation and contains parabens.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> But what really tipped over the two was the price. Elf clearly won this round because not only was it effective, but it is also budget-friendly and readily available in the Philippines. YAY for the elf eyelid primer! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hola! Let's talk about eyelash curlers. Have you bought an eyelash curler that is wimpy and doesn't do its job? How many of you have hurt their eyelids or plucked out their lashes because of their eyelash curlers? Perhaps many of you have, and are a bit skeptical on buying inexpensive eyelash curlers because we all know how painful it is to get pinched when using the wrong curler. It's totally the worst part of your face to mess around with a tool that reminds you of surgical scissors. Ha ha! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The best eyelash curlers in the market are fom Shu Uemura, Shiseido and Bobbi Brown. They really give you that lovely curl in seconds but they also burn a hole in your wallet! Today, I'm about to reveal to you a local product that could be a dupe for Shu Uemura's eyelash curler. I discovered an eyelash curler that is cheap AND effective at the same time!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love this eyelash curler because it only takes a few presses to curl my lashes and I like how it separates clumped-together lashes as well. It doesn't easily pinch my skin nor pull the hairs. It is quite cheap and does its job of curling your lashes. I'd recommend this to anyone who's looking for an eyelash curler that's inexpensive but also does its job. You can buy this eyelash curler in most SM Dept stores at FS Cosmetics counters nationwide. If you are hesitant to buy Shu's or Shiseido's, then this would definitely be a good start. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is one of my favorite eyelash curlers to use. :) </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When paired with a good mascara, the curl will hold its place the entire day! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hooray, for my very first Sleek MakeUP haul! :) Sleek MakeUP is a colour cosmetics brand dedicated to providing a makeup range for women at truly affordable prices. It is from the UK and is known as one of the best drugstore brands in the country. The makeup line has a variety of colors and shades catering to different skin tones, which is really awesome! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I first heard of Sleek from the Pixiwoo sisters on Youtube (these siblings are great MUAs!) way back and I was praying that this makeup brand would come to the Philippines. And wow, I am so lucky, you guys! Sleek did make it here in the Philippines!I was so happy to see it in The Ramp stores. However, I did not buy all of these items from The Ramp. Some of them, I bought from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Updated-Trends/428236583862549" target="_blank">The Updated Trends</a>, an online seller of foreign makeup brands. I was so happy to have found this store as well during a bazaar in WTC. So yeah, enough rambling and here's my haul for you guys! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">MODEL IN A BOTTLE</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I first heard of Model in a Bottle from The Tyra Banks Show a few years back. I bought it from Suesh in Market! Market! for about P850.00-950.00. This product claims to set your makeup to a translucent matte finish and lets your face and eye makeup to stay in place all day.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought the one for "sensitive skin" because I feel that the product might break me out and clog my pores. Better safe than sorry. :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKyitfUqxavqG9hVSTaRFQXCimuXucMYA8cZzwZQ-TO9Typ0S-rHnFDOPGLv1zZsV9nakzUUwUwyVPMThP_i3E_UfjPIWJlIkQJVvzccCYSPc33kONbumJUzygsNMoecfXZiETv0qxBek/s1600/IMG_2364.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKyitfUqxavqG9hVSTaRFQXCimuXucMYA8cZzwZQ-TO9Typ0S-rHnFDOPGLv1zZsV9nakzUUwUwyVPMThP_i3E_UfjPIWJlIkQJVvzccCYSPc33kONbumJUzygsNMoecfXZiETv0qxBek/s400/IMG_2364.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is meant to contain over 300 sprays. As seen in the picture, I am already halfway through because I had to transfer the product to a separate atomizer. The packaging for me was a total dud. The spray broke on my third usage! Yes, it does look very feminine and luxurious, but I feel that it compromises the function of the product. The overall feel of the bottle is a bit slippery when you try to spray the product onto your face. It is made of glass, which is a bit too heavy for me when I spray. I dropped it one time while spraying and expected it to break, but fortunately it didn't.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I used it over my makeup, I was waiting for it to set into a matte finish, but what I got was a dewy finish!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, my makeup did stay in place all day. It was amazing! My makeup truly held up from 9 to 5. It didn't control the oil on my face though. I had to use my blotting sheets after 2 hours. At the end of the day, my makeup looked like this.</span></div>

But what threw me off was the smell of the product. When I spray, I always have to hold my breath because I couldn't stand the fragrance of the product! I feel that it has an "alcohol-y" scent. Plus, it stings my eyes sometimes even if I close my eyes upon application. And true enough, it did contain alcohol when I checked the ingredients at the back.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">It contains SD Alcohol, which is used to control oil temporarily. But with regular and long term use, it might overproduce the oil that has been removed by the alcohol. Yikes!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Overall, I think it's an awesome product because it really does work. It sets your makeup in place and it still looks as good when you first applied it. But if you have sensitive and acne prone skin, I'd say that you avoid using the product on a regular basis. I would recommend that you use this only if you have to attend a formal event or on nights out, when you wouldn't care to touch up much. Here's my rating for Model in a Bottle:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello, everyone! It's Makeup Tip Tuesday again! :) Today's tip is all about how to do a proper eyeliner flick. Yes, I was once an eyeliner noob too and I just couldn't get that flick right! At times, the flick would go too far or too near the outer corners of my eyes. And when it does, I find that it just looks tacky and it won't really flatter your eyes, which defeats the purpose of lining them. Even until now, there are days when I still can't get it done with just one try. (Depends on the mood and how shaky my hand is. Ha ha!) So today, I'm going to teach you 3 easy ways to properly place that winged out liner on your eye. May the eyeliner noobs unite! JK. :))</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>1. TAPE TRICK </b>(</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">NOTE: Avoid doing this trick if you have sensitive skin.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Apply a piece of tape on the back of your hand first (to make it less sticky) before you place it underneath your eye pointing to the end of your brows. Where you place the tape will dictate the wing of your eyeliner. Make sure the tape is pressed against your skin so the liner will not bleed out. You might want to hold off putting on undereye concealer/foundation first, since the tape will just remove it when you take it out. Apply your liner as you usually do and follow the line that the tape created for you. Fill in the winged part and remove the tape. :) It should look something like this:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you have sensitive skin and opt not to do the tape trick, then this trick is for you! Get an old business card (or any cardboard type of material... I even used old prepaid cards!) and hold it against your eye where you want to create your flick. Follow the card and make a line going up to the end of your brow. Connect the tip of the line to your upper lashes to make a winged look. Here's what it should look like:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yup, you can make a perfect wing by just following your natural lower lash line! Look to where your lower lash line ends and imagine it extending towards the end of your brow. Trace that imaginary line and that will be your guide. Again, fill in your winged liner by making a triangle, connecting the tip to the liner. And, voila! You'll have a great flick in no time! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">MUFE Mini Haul!</span></b> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During my stay in MP School, I really enjoyed experimenting and playing with Make Up For Ever products on different models. Since the first day, I was so impressed with all of their products! I even mentally wrote down my own shopping wishlist of the products I wanted to have in my kit. :)) Unfortunately, Make Up For Ever in the Philippines does not have a store anymore, but rumors say they'll be back next year. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And so, I discovered this store called 'Make Up Pro' through a classmate in MP and they sell a lot of US, UK and high-end makeup products and tools for a lower price! The really good thing is that they sell MUFE for a much cheaper price than MUFE in stores! How cool is that?! :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I looked up the store online and finally wrote down my MUFE shopping list. I went to the store and, OMG. It was makeup paradise!! We're talking about MAC, MUFE, Illamasqua, Ben Nye, Sugarpill Cosmetics, OCC, Tom Ford, YSL and many more! I really took my time browsing through their products, and I just had to resist! It was like a candy store for kids, except that it wasn't candy. Kept reminding myself of this: I MUST STICK TO MY LIST (repeat 10 more times). Anyway, enough about the store raving and here's what I got...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good morning!<3 I'll be starting a new series of posts called 'Tip Tuesday' and every Tuesday, I'll post a quick makeup tip for you guys! :) If you have questions or requests, please feel free to comment below! :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are days when you just feel so tired and stressed out that it radiates throughout your whole body. Your eyes may look tired and you will look sleepy even if you're not. You have no time to put on a full face of makeup because you are always rushing and you need a quick fix of caffeine to give you that extra jolt in the morning. And when people see you, they think/say, "<i>Stressed ka 'teh</i>?" Hahaha! Days like these are inevitable! You just have to pull yourself together!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, here's my quick tip. To achieve that wide-eyed look, curl your lashes and apply 2 coats of WATERPROOF MASCARA. That's it! Instant brighter-looking eyes in just 2 minutes! :) You can actually skip eyeliner because mascara gives you the illusion of thicker lashes already. It's that simple. Try it! :)</span></div>

Coverage is super awesome and staying power is the bomb! It is blendable and does not feel heavy even if it applies quite thick unlike most liquid concealers, which apply thinly. And with this, a little goes a looooong way. I super like this product! Now, I know why it's been raved about by makeup gurus and bloggers in the UK. :)</span></td></tr>

Sweet Tart is a nice pink shade with coral undertones, just perfect for an every day lip color that is not too bright. It stays on for a good 3 hours with blotting, then you have to re-apply again. I really like the sweet candy-like smell of the product as well. :) For just P199.00, you get a creamy lipstick that is not too "in-your-face" pink and suits light-medium skinned ladies.</td></tr>

It does mattify your face and set your makeup in place; hence, the name fix & matte! :) It keeps oil at bay for a good 5 hours before I could use my blotting sheets and it does not leave a white cast on the face. It's such a steal for its quality and for 15.5 grams of powder! It's definitely one of my holy grail go-to products! This product is recommended for combination-oily and oily skin. </span></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For P199.00 what do you get? A cheaper alternative for those really expensive long-wearing lip color! This product is absolutely long-wearing but I don't think it holds on for 24 hrs (who'd wear lipstick that long anyway?). It is crazy pigmented and it's so hard to remove; it can actually stain your skin, clothes, etc. It has 2 steps: (1) Apply semi-permanent color base, (2) Put on gloss top coat. The downside is that even if it dries matte, it's sticky. Plus, if you put on the gloss that comes with it, the base product slides off. Weird! But I guess it's an okay product if you want a lip color that stays on. And if you don't mind the stickiness when it sets, then this product is for you.</span></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Priced at P219.00 in SM Dept. Stores, this colored gloss claims that it is long-wearing and is kiss-proof (it won't transfer when you kiss someone or when you smack your lips on something). I tried it and it really gives a good stain and dries matte. However, you have to keep in mind that you have to moisturize your lips well before you apply this because it emphasizes the dryness of your lips (it's not much of a 'gloss', really). I don't really like it because it feels uncomfortable on my lips.. like there's a lip tattoo on them or something like that. :P But for the price, color pay off is good and it does its job staying put.</td></tr>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. Prime your lids to prevent creasing and to make your eye shadow last. It's important to prime your eyelids if they tend to oil up during the day. I used Urban Decay E/S Primer Potion (Original).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Roughly apply a black creamy base on your lid. Start from the lash line going up (but not too high). Btw, in this step you don't have to be neat! You can use either a pencil or a cream shadow. I used Nichido's Mineral Kohl Pencil in Onyx. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> 3. Using a fluffy blending brush of your choice (I used MAC 217), gently blend the creamy base upwards. Use a windshield wiper motion to blend.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. With a crease brush, get a medium matte brown shade and apply on your crease to add warmth to your smokey eyes. I mixed 2 shades of brown from the Sleek palette to get the shade I wanted (The Mail and Boxed). You can also use 'Buck' from the Naked palette or any matte bronzer/contour powder as well.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. Pat a matte black eye shadow (Noir) on the area where you applied your cream base. Again, begin with your lash line going up. Make sure you use a patting motion to really pack the color onto your lids.</span></div>

8. Highlight your inner corners with a shimmery pink eye shadow (Organza) to brighten up your eyes. Using your blending brush, blend the 3 colors (pink, purple and black) until you are happy with the color transition. :)</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> 9. On your lower lash line, smudge the pink, purple and black eye shadows you used (L-R) and blend them to create an ombre effect. Make sure you connect the black eye shadow on your outer corners with the lower lash line. Blend, blend, blend!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> 10. Clean up any eye shadow fallout with a cotton bud or you can use your foundation or concealer to 'erase' any mistakes. I used the Make Up Factory's Light Reflecting Concealer in #2. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> 11. Line your upper lash line with black liner. You can also line your waterline to intensify the look. Curl your lashes and apply a generous amount of black volumizing mascara. For this I used, Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner and Maybelline the Falsies Mascara.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hey, everyone! I'll be reviewing Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains in shades Honey and Smitten. When it was first released in the Philippines last year, I was so excited! I immediately went to a Revlon counter and swatched them on my arm. I fell in love with it in an instant! I mean, who wouldn't want a balm and stain in just one product? Also, I have learned that some other bloggers have compared it to Clinique's Chubby Stick Intense, which is a plus for me! But anyway, here is a more in-depth review of this balm stain.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><b>Honey</b> - very wearable, sheer, pinky brown shade</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">- great for natural everyday look</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">- suits all skin tones</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><b>Smitten</b> - deep magenta shade</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">- can be worn on its own if you want an intense lip color or,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">- swipe on one layer of Smitten on the center of lips and smudge the rest with your finger to tone down the color a bit. :) This is what I normally do if I want a "stained" look</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">- suits people with fair to medium complexion</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I find the packaging really cute! I think it looks like the jumbo markers that I used to have when I was a kid. Pretty neat! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I like that it's retractable so you don't have to sharpen it. Just twist the metal part of the balm stain up and down to use it. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Don't be deceived by the packaging though.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> You get this much product (2.7 grams) for Php 575.00, which is a bit disappointing because it's not even half the length of the plastic tube!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I swatched it at the back of my hand, it was very sheer. But when I used it on my lips, I realized that it is actually very wearable and buildable. You can intensify the color by just adding a second layer. It has a satin finish on the lips which I like. I love that it smells minty because it contains peppermint oil and gives you a little tingle on the lips once it sets. The minty feeling will go away in an hour or so.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"><b>IT IS NOT A TINTED LIP BALM</b></span>. It is very true to its name: a <b>BALM STAIN</b>. It has the quality of a lipbalm (gel-like) and the staying power of a stain. When I wore it for the first time, I noticed that it glided on smoothly on my lips and left a stain for about 4 hours! Even after eating and drinking, it left a just bitten or "i-ate-a-popsicle" stain on my puckers! I didn't need to reapply several times in one day because the staying power is so good. But after about 2 hours of wear, it felt a bit drying on the lips so I had to wear a gloss or a lipbalm on top of it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would definitely repurchase this product and get more shades because I'm so happy with it! It has been one of my everyday holy grail products when I'm in a hurry. I feel happy when I apply it on my lips because it looks like a big crayon and I'm literally coloring my lips! Haha! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I totally recommend this except for those who have chapped lips as it tends to be drying after a while and application is uneven. Since chapped lips are not smooth, the product may not glide as smooth as normal/hydrated lips. But if you really want to make it work for you, you can wear lip balm first, then apply the balm stain on top. So if you're on-the-go or need a quick lip touch-up then this drugstore product is definitely for you! They come in 6 different shades but I think Revlon released another 6 shades so that totals 12 shades for you to choose from! You can get a hold of it on any Revlon counter in SM Department stores! :) (Note: Some shades are not yet available in the Philippines)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /><span style="color: magenta;"><b>SUMMER IS HERE!:)</b></span> I can't help but love this season because the weather allows me to wear fun skirts, sandals and dresses! But most of all, I love the makeup trends for this season! I know... Maybe you think wearing makeup in this </span><u style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red;">intense heat</span></u><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> is very uncomfortable. And when you wear makeup these days, you may just see yourself in the mirror with a melting face. We definitely don't want that! So here are some tips for the hottest makeup trends this summer.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. <b>PRIMER</b> - I never leave the house without primer when I wear makeup! If you want your makeup last the whole day, primer will be your best friend. It helps smoothen your skin for makeup application, keeps oil at bay and neutralizes skin color. For combination/oily-skinned ladies, I recommend wearing a mattifying primer over your moisturizer and top it with your foundation. For dry/normal skinned ladies, you can wear a moisturizing primer after putting on moisturizer as well. And for the girls who love to wear eye shadow, an eye shadow primer is a must! It prevents your eye shadow from creasing and it intensifies the color of your eye shadow.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://gwjocelyn.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/urban-decay-eyeshadow-primer-potion.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="138" src="http://gwjocelyn.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/urban-decay-eyeshadow-primer-potion.jpg" width="200" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some of the best primers on the market are the Smashbox Photofinish Foundation Primer, MAC's Prep+Prime Face Protect, L'Oreal Studio Secrets Secret No. 1 Magic Perfecting Base (phew!), Laura Mercier Oil-Free Foundation Primer and Make Up Forever HD Microperfecting Primer. And for the eyes, you can try Urban Decay's Primer Potion (my personal favorite), Too-Faced Shadow Insurance, E.L.F. Eyeshadow Primer, Benefit Lemon Aid, MAC Paintpots and Art Deco Eyeshadow Base.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. <b>SPF, SPF, SPF</b>! - Oh, and did I say, SPF?? :) Wearing makeup with SPF (or Sun Protection Factor) is a must this season. Foundation, BB Creams, Tinted Moisturizers with SPF of 15 and up should be worn. You can try Etude House's BB and CC Creams, Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20, and basically other foundations with SPF. But we are not limited to just foundations and creams, you can opt to wear lipsticks, lip balms, blushers and other makeup with SPF. Right now, there are also moisturizers that have SPF in it like Nivea and Celeteque. I cannot stress enough how important it is now to protect your skin from the scorching heat of the sun, and its UVA/B rays, but nothing beats early prevention from sun spots, skin cancer, discoloration and the like. It may seem tedious, but your skin will thank you for it. So think twice before you spend your money on makeup or other beauty products! (I think I just said SPF ten times in 2 mins. Haha!)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. <b>COLORED EYES</b> - A pop of color on your eyes is quite on trend this summer! Blues, pinks, oranges and greens are colors that you would see on makeup stalls. Try sporting a cute summer look with colored liner on your top or bottom lashlines. Be sure to wear e/s primer before you do it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="200" src="http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/p480x480/944423_10151592677805189_2034199506_n.png" width="200" /><img height="240" src="http://makeup.allwomenstalk.com/wp-content/thumbs/56/318.jpg" width="320" /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. <b>BRIGHT LIPS</b> - Aside from eyes, your lips can make a statement. This season, neon colors are everywhere! But for a more wearable look, you can try lip colors with red and orange hues. And at night, go for a deeper red color. Fair-skinned girls can wear hot pink, red with blue undertones and oranges. For morena gals, the most flattering summer lip colors are red-oranges, pinky-browns and fire engine reds. Finally, for a true-to-color lipstick color, apply a thin layer of lip primer (or concealer/foundation) first and then apply lipstick normally. Use a lip brush for precision and top it off with a gloss to add dimension if you wish! :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. <b>BRONZE IT UP</b> - Achieving a sun-kissed glow during summer is what some of us aim for! With an angled contour or blush brush, use a matte bronzer on the parts where the sun would usually hit your face. Dust it on the following: temples, hollows of your cheeks and your jawline to sculpt the features of your face. For shimmery bronzers, you can apply it on the bridge of your nose, chin, forehead and on ton op cheekbones as a highlight for a lovely glow. You can even emphasize your cleavage by putting shimmer just on top and between your twins! (Celebrities love doing this!! :) ) Affordable bronzers can be bought at Etude House and Wet n' Wild and E.L.F. stalls in SM malls. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So there you have it! I hope these simple tips can help you wear your summer makeup in a breeze. Remember to always cleanse your face well and remove any traces of makeup before you sleep! Have a fabulous summer ahead! <3</span></div>
