Anyhow, going back to what happened...

Birthday...otherwise known as the DBD... Diet Buster Day. Okay I just made that up because we get to eat lots of food therefore destroying our *imaginary* diet!



This special day of mine was pretty simple. I woke up 12nn because I slept late trying to update my DA journal that night. As I mentioned before, piling-up of journal entries isn't really good. Who would want to read something so long in one sitting? Not me. LOL


We had lunch at a Spanish restaurant named Cirkulo. It was our first time to dine there and it was a great experience.


Everything we ordered was really good. Wagyu beef, lamb chops, sea bass, etc. Mmmm... Good bye diet...


Lil sis Ash orangeish and mom.


Me and dad


After that we had coffee at Starbucks (in Green Belt 3)! My favorite coffee shop. I used to hate coffee back in high school but Starbucks changed the way I see coffee! Ordered Venti White Mocha Frap.


While hanging out, we played with this little gadget. It's a new digital Polaroid camera! You can select photos before printing it with its built-in printer. The prints come out from the side.


It uses zinc paper so it doesn't require ink and it roughly costs P5 (10 cents) per print. Pretty cool, huh?


Took a few shots in the garden in front of Starbucks.
Bought my dress from Mango. Shoes from People are People.


Ashley orangeish looking cool flipping her hair! Her dress is from Mango as well.


BlackMageAlodia hair flip fail! LOL



Anyhow, we didn't stay long because Ashley had to go to Mall of Asia for the Paramore Concert.

The concert was pretty tragic and disappointing - Read More Here - (My Tragic Paramore Experience) by orangeish *_*

Anyway....

Since we didn't go to the Paramore concert, ee went malling in Power Plant Mall...


...and and and! I got Bayonetta!! Finally! I got it the day FFXIII was released. FAIL!

I'll wait for the FFXIII's prices to drop before getting my hands on it. And besides, it would be hard to play 2 games at once... Especially, knowing Final Fantasy, it would take a hundred game hours to complete the game.

But hey! Bayonetta is a pretty cool and hilarious game! I can believe how girly she is in a funny way! She loves to pose a lot while fighting, or pulling levers, etc..o.O;; Hahaha!

Before heading home, we bought original DVDs and got take-out food. Had dinner with my family while watching Obsessed. After that, played Bayonetta upto 3am.

That's basically it! Nothing grand! Goodbye 21, hello 22!

Thanks to lil sis Ash orangeish for all the photos!

Winners decided by Power Plant Mall Management. (Original Link)

Would also like to thank Ms. Regine Tolentino of Regine's Boutique for handling Ash orangeish's Alice costume and my White Queen costume in 2 weeks!


It was a rushed costume, but we really love how lovely it turned out!

Zoom In

Materials:
1) Cinema Secrets cream (#PS608S-33)
2) White Eyeshadow
3) Baby Powder
4) Dark Foundation
5) Old Rose Eyeshadow
6) Eyeliner
7) Mascara (+eye lash curler)
8) Brown Eyeshadow
9) Peach Blush
10) Dark Red lipstick (custom mix #4)

Brushes:
A) Large Brush
B) Blush Brush
C) Eyeshadow Brush
D) Eyebrow Brush
E) Lip Brush

1) Using your fingers, apply the Cinema Secrets cream foundation evenly on your face, neck and other parts of the skin that would be exposed. Do this layer by layer so you can achieve maximum coverage.

2-3) With a large brush (A), dust White Eye Shadow over all the areas with the cream foundation and then Baby Powder on your arms, neck and chest. This will set your make-up and make it less greasy/oily.

4) Sometimes, you may find one area whiter than the other. This happened to my face and neck. To correct this, using a large brush (A), dust over a light layer of Dark Foundation over your face to match the other areas of your skin.

5) Finally, the hardest part is over. Now we move onto applying eyeshadow. Using a flat Eyeshadow brush (C), apply Old Rose Eyeshadow and blend it well. The White Queen doesn't really have dark heavy lids so this layer of Old Rose eyeshadow is sufficient.

6) Add eyeliner over your upper lids. And little bit under your eyes to make your eyes look bigger.

7) Knowing that we'll be going to an event and not a photoshoot, I opted to use my real lashes instead of falsies. False lashes tend to unglue themselves with out you noticing it and being in an event, you cannot visit the ladies room every 30mins or so to check on it. So I played safe. Using a curlash, curl your lashes and apply Mascara. This is to make you lashes darker from all that white make-up earlier.

8) Dab you Eyebrow brush (D) on dark brown eyeshadow and apply it over your brows. The White Queen has pretty thick brows so you might want to add more volume by doing it repeatedly.

9) Using the Blush brush (B), apply peach blush on your cheeks all the way to your temples.

10) Finally, the White Queen calls for thick lips. With a Lipstick brush (E), apply your Dark Red lipstick generously. You can go a bit beyond your lip line to make your lips look fuller. Just in case you missed it from my previous journal entry (2 entries back), to create a Dark Red lipstick, all you have to do is take a bit of your normal red lipstick and mix it with Black Eyeshadow.

The end! I'm not an expert on make-up but just learned doing this through practice and playing with make-up. Anyway, hope you enjoyed this mini tutorial! ^_^
