Before anything else, I promised Jheng more EOTDs so here’s her fave combo:

Kidding Jheng! Anyhoo, this is what I sported last Saturday at the Project Beauty workshop:

BASE: ARTDECO e/s base
BROW BONE: ARTDECO e/s 07
INNER CREASE: ARTDECO e/s 19
OUTER CREASE: ARTDECO e/s 14
LINER: MAC Powerpoint in ENGRAVED
MASCARA: MAC Splashproof Lash in BLACKSPLASH

After much, much begging, I finally got my eyes done by Jheng! WOOOOOOT!!!!

On with my little shopping story, I bought gray shoes! I’ve been dead lusting over these shoes for monthsssss:

Gucci Kelly (F/W 2007-2008)

Prada Jewelry (F/W 2008-2009)

I showed them to my mom and sans the price tag, I got her approval because I have too many pink shift dresses (I hope you’re not wearing black shoes with your pink threads!). I was about to cart in the Jewelry pumps when she told me that she and my dad are going to HK this December so if it can wait, maybe they can get a pair for me there. Yes mom, it can wait…or not!

On my way to BlogBank’s Wii Party last Monday, I ermmmmm found myself (I swear I didn’t know how I landed in SM Makati’s shoe department! LOL) trying out some pairs for my little fashion fix.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new Tibetan oxhorn bangle from the Bohemian Nation Trading Corp.*! I got it last Thursday night for only Php 325!

FOUNDATION: ARTDECO Rich Treatment Foundation in 15
SETTING POWDER: MUFE HD Powder
LINER: MAC Powerpoint in ENGRAVED
LIPS: MAC Lipstick in SO SCARLET

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the color of my hair in that photo! I bounced the flash on my hot pink walls and that’s the color I got! I should take this photo to my colorist, no?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the finish of ARTDECO Rich Treatment Foundation (Php 1200 at SM Makati)! I’ve been using this for two weeks now and am telling you, this is one of the best liquid foundations I’ve ever tried! Highly comparable to DiorSkin Forever Extreme Wear Flawless Makeup. It feels too light to touch after setting with finishing powder, I swear you’ll even forget you have something on your face.

Thanks to Temptalia’s gorg swatches, YSL ROUGE VOLUPTÉ ($34) has been haunting me like crazy! I had some spare time last Sunday night so I dashed off to Rustan’s to check if we have it here already. As usual and unforch, we don’t have it yet. Good news though’s that I met YSL’s Pure Lipstick (Php 1350).

Ugh.

Love. At. First. Swipe.

The lippies are totally luxe. They’re super pigmented, smooth, non-drying, and lasts pretty decently (about dinner and 3 drinks). I went out with 19 (very pretty fuchsia pink!) and lemming for 3 more shades:

31’s perfect for a laid back weekend look while 141’s a great face brightener at work. 49’s definitely not for the fainthearted. It’s something that I’d probably wear during a girl’s night out where there’s lots of camwhoring (you would too, right?).

So are these lippies really, really worth it? YES.

ps. Am tryna work on this delish template for SwipeSomeGloss reason why you’re browsing ov’r this simple, two column template. *wink*

What happened to me today in snaps:

*sigh* Anyhoo, I took the opportunity to make a quick beauty meme as well:

Tagging new suspects to show me what’s in their kikay kit…

Sleep can wait. This baby can’t:

What cost me Php675* yesterday

I’ve been using this lip gloss forever and I just realized that I’ve never raved about it until I ran out of this particular color!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how full and shiny this baby is! It glides on like butter, is less sticky vs. MAC Lipglass, and is oh so photogenic.

This made my heart skip a beat. Did it make yours?

*at SM Makati. Oh oh oh! My fave ARTDECO sales associate Lou and I just tried the mineral powders and eyeshadows yesterday and they are VERY promising! *wink*
