Sweet Screams: Monster High Spectra Vondergeist Inspired Makeup

Sigh. They're all growing up. Seeing them turn into young ladies make me think that I'm so old already. Yesterday my cousin Micah turned 11, and threw up a simple Monster High Themed party. I don't know what's with my family these days that...

Day and Night Makeup: Rihanna's Who's That Chick? MV Inspired

How are you lovelies? :) Thought July will pass without a post? I thought so too.

I've been pretty busy lately, writing and researching for my article with Rebelsmarket, editing the pictures of SS109 when I have time, doing my online jobs and at the same time doing my tasks as a married woman.

One boring day, my 12 year old cousin came to my house. I've promised her before that I'll do her makeup and take pictures of her. No, she's not the one that i've transformed before as Elsa, but she wants a colorful look too. Since I wasn't feeling well also as I was having flu-like symptoms, I wanted to divert my attention and do something awesome and fun.

I told Carlyn we'll do the Day and Night version of Rihanna's makeup from her

music video "Who's that Chick?" with David Guetta. The video was released January of 2011, which has been one of my all time favorites. Honestly I just love it because of her makeup. That's one genius idea of making a catchy music vid.

For the day makeup it fits my little cousin as it is vibrant, colorful and playful.

Whereas for the night version of course I want it. A sucker for gothic makeups.

We played up with my makeup palettes and it took us an hour, 30 minutes each.(You just can't rush perfection.. but it isn't perfectly applied though..)

DAY

Day makeup :combination of bright yellow on the upper eyelid and green on the lower eyelid.

I'm really in love with my eyeshadow palettes. They're really pigmented and really bright in person. Even my customers have the same feedback. This is the reason why I've decided to sell it. I'm honestly a fan of these palettes from another online store and they're pretty pricey. Now that I have a direct supplier I won't be frowning with its price, and of course I'm selling it for a price cheaper than the others.

While shooting these pictures my other cousin Atta Marie helped us to take some good shots. My son's also there, playing with my stuff and his minion that when turned on, it sings.. Psy's Gangnam Style. (whatda!)

We rarely get a chance to hangout, coz my cousins were busy with their school.

My other cousins were now in college, and one's already working with Philippine Airlines. They'll just visit me whenever they need makeups. If I open their makeup pouch, it's full of makeups from me. My collection's starting to vanish, and has started to migrate to their bags... It's ok, I love them anyway, and atleast they don't have to spend money, they just need to see me..

I'm sure I'm their favorite makeup artists too.. coz they don't have to pay just to have one.. They just call me and sometimes I don't have any choice but to say yes. How I wish I have my own makeup artist when I was young.

It's hard being the first born in the family.

Aside from the palettes and the beautiful colors it create on my face, I'm in love with my new pearls. I've lost my old pair during my son's christening day. I don't have to cry and think about the old one anymore, as the new one is freaking gorgeous. I'm sure my best friend Kitty will like it..
