Haul..Heatherette..FOTDs

i couldn't think of a better title..i was going to put been MIA forever but it seems like most of the girls here have been busy too and have used that for their titles..see, i'm not the only one, am i?..So most of you would probably understand that, yes, there's more to life than just blogging..don't get me wrong though, i really love to blog, post FOTDs, hauls, and random venting outs and rants..It's just that this week, i've been really busy and super exhausted..Plus, the looks i've done recently are looks that i've posted here before, so no point, really..aye!..no mas ideas for looks anymore..so to squeeze what's left of my creative juices, i did a haul last Saturday..

Of course i went to the counter Leesha works at..She did my make-up using Heatherette stuff..i believe it's the same look she did a tutorial on..you can youtube it..:)..She was super cool and nice..and i really had fun, the boyfriend even said he had fun too..So on to my haul and my FOTD courtesy of xsparkage

Ooh..i couldn't resist getting the Heatherette Trio 2..my addiction has won me over once again..The shiny pink packaging did it!..Also, I was thinking, since Fertile e/s (exact dupe of Cassette *dark purple*) is LE, might as well get a "back up"..


Here's a comparison:



and without flash

Left is Fertile e/s from the Strange Hybrid collection and Right is Cassette from Heatherette Trio 2..but it really doesn't matter which is which 'cause they're EXACTLY the same..hmm..

Oh and my final verdict on the Heatherette collection..a bit much, eh?
in all its glory..


the trios, pigments and glitters


lipsticks and lipglasses


the lonely beauty powder


then the dual edge pencils

Let's get started..

Start with a clean, moisturized face, as always..


Conceal dark under eye circles (i blend Maybelline and MAC together with MAC 194 brush)


Now, apply your foundation with MAC 187 in stippling motions, then light buffing to get rid of streaks


Foundation and Concealer-DONE! (i didn't set with powder yet, i want my foundation to remain malleable until i'm almost done with the eyes)


i applied Bare Study p/p all over the lid (i used MAC 252)


Then i applied Other Worldly p/p on lower half of the lid as base for mood ring e/s with Studio Tools concealer brush (this will help intensify mood ring e/s)


i then applied mood ring e/s over Other Worldly p/p with a MAC 239 brush


it should look like this..


then with a MAC 219 pencil brush, i applied Cloudburst in the outer v and in the crease half way..


'un'blended, it looks like this..


Now blend and soften harsh lines with a MAC 224 blending brush


it should look like this so far..


Now take another blending/crease brush, sweep Pink Pearl pigment onto the crease, blend with cloudburst, this will also help soften cloudburst more


like this..


Now apply Hoppin' e/s with a 239 brush (sorry for the blurry pic)


i now fill in my brows with NYX Suede e/s using a Sephora #10 brush


then i lined my upper lash line with L'oreal HIP cream liner in black using MAC 208 angled brush


before i proceed further with lining my bottom lash line, i set my foundation with blot/loose powder using a MAC 150 powder brush


then now i proceed with lining my bottom lash line with soft sparkle pencil in pop blue (this will act as base for pink pearl pigment)


with a pencil brush i applied pink pearl pigment on top of pop blue pencil (blended, it looks more purple than pink)


i then lined my waterline with Black Funk pencil (uber soft and creamy)


I curled my lashes with Shu Uemura lash curler then applied Plushlash in Plushblack



This is how it look so far..



let's move on to the rest of the face..

i applied True Romantic BPB using a MAC 138 brush=LOVE!


i then contoured my cheeks with Sculpt powder using MAC 168 angled contour brush


Now the lips..

i applied Lollipop Lovin'


then Bonus Beat l/g for extra shine


DONE!!..Cam-whore away..


i think squishy faces are very flattering..lol


when in doubt, pout!..


and then cheeze it!


I hope this makes up for my long absence..i have another entry that i still have to finish..i'll probably be able to post it later tonight..i missed all of you!..
