Wet hair on the go? NOT!

Haha, so I saw this topic on Soompi... like "Do you go to school with messy hair?" and then I thought, during highschool until now... I see people with messy hair and WORSE.. I see people who go out with their hair still all WET.

Its so common here in the Philippines. I always knew that its not proper to go out and let people see you with your hair still all wet.. but there are times (but hardly) where I am really in a hurry that I go out with my hair half wet. I feel terrible for those days though.

So girls should know now that leaving your house with your hair still wet is so unproper and ugly - might as well leave your house with your towel LOL.

That White Baby Powder Should GO!

I remember putting Baby Powder on my face during elementary and highschool days. xD Me and my friends would often go to the CR and put some using our hands. In highschool, (I don't know if this only occurs in the Philippines though) it's like a must have on every girl's grooming kit.

Right now, it's so weird. I remember using a compact face powder in highschool and the girls all went..."Uyy dalaga na.." they would really tend to tease you a lot if you use a compact face powder. As for me, I've learned then that putting that white baby powder on your face using hands is very "unhygienic". But due to my classmate's never ending teasing whenever we go to the CR, I went back using baby powder again. Err.

But what's bothering me now is.. "OMG! It's still happening." Yeah, it's still happening... It sucks because girls don't have any idea how bad it looks on face- all cakey and white. Especially for girls who have darker complexions.. it's really weird seeing them with white bits of powder on their face asking "Makapal ba?".

Giiirrrlllsss, please stop using it! It's not for face, its unhygienic, and doesn't match your skintone. There are a lot of compact face powder that has a proper applicator around that you could switch on to.

♥ Oyen's HimeGyaru Makeover Tutorial!♥

Yay! I've made a tutorial... xD
(Click pictures for the actual size)
HimeGyaru Inspired and a bit toned down... This makeup tutorial is also applicable for makeup newbies and practical!

♥Hairstyle♥













Ever heard of the classic rag curling? It's so cheap, lasts longer and healthy! NO Heat at all!
All you need is an old t'shirt or whatever and cut them to form long strips-like what
I did in the picture.





















This is a bit tricky for the first time, but once you master it-its easy! Remember, the thicker the strands of hair you tie, the bigger the curls, the thinner the tighter. You can use pomade/clay or whatever before you tie your hair with rags.
If you want to see actual video of rag curling, watch this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpjtzdhGgBY

♥Makeup♥

First step is always start with a clean face, tone and moisturize








I love this toner <3333>












Put on Circle Lens!








I only use BB Cream as foundation













Concealer! Notice I didn't use extra stuff like primer and stuff, I'm too lazy and I'm saving money xD This will do



















Then just dust on face powder to keep the concealer and BB cream long lasting













Contouring, I used this blush to contour my cheeks, I love it, works well as bronzer too-very pretty colors!












Eye makeup now...nothing special..I just used grey as the base color and dark grey at the outer corner of the lids. Just blend well.
















Liquid Eyeliner! I love my liquid eyeliner <333 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i36.tinypic.com/2j5f6rk.jpg">















So yeah, just line your eyes like that- I have double eyelids that disappear when I open my eyes x.x
You can make it thick or thin








url those lashes! Guess what by the way..DHC Eyelash toner works! they grew longer in 1 week now. I used to have non existing lashes even on the bottom. It works for me!








Put on mascara- the thicker the better because we are trying to emphasize big eyes








White eyeliner on your bottom waterline ONLY - whatever you call it.











And then draw black eyeliner at the bottom of your bottom waterline LOL













And then put mascara on your bottom lashes! I used a different mascara since it has smaller brush.












Add a touch of pink blush on the apples of your cheek for the cute effect xD











Of course, just like other Gyaru makeup-you highlight the bridge of your nose.
I just used a white eyeshadow to save money.







To highlight the face, I used a white shimmer powder with little amount. It looks pretty when light hits your face
















Lipstick topped with lipgloss! When you put the lipgloss, just pat the gloss at the middle of your lips-not all over.














♥Release the curls!!!♥

Okay I think I left them long enough to curl by now..
Tananananananan!










Beautiful Curls without damaging your hair! Then experiment with the style

♥Nails♥

I just used a light pink nail polish with silver glittered polish as tip xD Looks as girly as those Himegyaru nails without the 3d nails arts xD









♥And we're done!!! Camwhore, Camwhore!♥

The Face Shop's BB Cream

What is a BB Cream?

It's not "in" in the Philippines, yet. But it's really popular in Korea. BB stands from Blemish Balm, its a cream that you can use as a foundation. But unlike typical foundation that does nothing to your skin but harm it (just like any other makeup), BB Creams have benefit for the skin.

Some of the common benefits of BB Cream are:

1. Evens out skintone instantly (like a foundation)
2. Conceals blemishes and redness
3. Its filled with nutrients that helps improve your skin
4. Mostly have SPF as protection from sun and skin cancer
5. Its also a healing cream because it heals scars.
6. Some has whitening and anti aging properties

So why use a regular foundation if you can enjoy having beautiful skin with or without makeup on? xD When I first heard about BB Creams I researched some popular brands and reviews.

But I went to The Face Shop at SM Pampanga since I knew that its a Korean Beauty Store... and I found a BB Cream!

The Skin Extra BB Cream wth SPF 2o. I love it, I use it as my foundation.. It naturally covers blemishes and redness. The scent is pleasing. And it doesn't wear off.

I also won't have to use Sunscreen since it has SPF already. I'm running out of the tube already and will consider buying again. It's also kinda pricey I think I bought it for Php700+

But then again it's worth it

The Face Shop's Quick & Clean Toner

I've been wanting to achieve perfect and flawless skin and I've learned that in order to improve your skintone (if you are really vain like me), you have to spend extra $$$ to achieve this, sadly.

So yeah, me and mom went to The Face Shop at SM Pampanga to look for some beauty stuff. And I found this toner, the saleslady said that its the same toner that she uses... And her skin is really nice from what I see. So I decided to buy it. It costs almost Php500 though its really worth it!


I super love it! The smell is so pleasant... It has active ingredient like Tea Trea Oil (which is a great antibacterial to get rid of extra dirt that clogs the pores) and lemon extract (which is also good for the blemishes and pimples, etc)

So far I haven't break out yet.. it leaves my skin baby soft and noticed some improvements like smaller pores. Now I only have to find a good moisturizer...

But yeah, I recommend this to people who have combination (oily and dry) skin.
