Finally, here’s my eyebrow routine! I know, this is like a whole year in the making but I’m finally able to do it!

The brows are very tricky to get on fleek (are we still saying that?). It’s very subjective: some like it thick, some like it thin, some use multiple products, some like to use pencil. In this clip, I show you how I do it. I know that it’s quite long but I promise, I try to leave no stone unturned and discuss all things eyebrow. I hope this video is helpful!

For my Makeup Of The Day today, I show you how to do a smoky eye with a lower lash twist. Smoky eye makeup isn’t something that I do a lot (I’m a neutral whore, what can I say) but when I DO do a smoky look, I always make sure to do four things:

1. BLEND BLEND BLEND like there is no tomorrow. You can never blend enough, is what I always think of when doing a smoky look.

2. I always put a contrasting color on the inner corner of the eyes. It does not matter if it’s a shimmery nude, a striking silver, or even a bright blue, I always put something that is NOT dark on the inner corners to bring light back to the eyes.

3. I ALWAYS wear false lashes whenever doing a smoky eye. You don’t want your lashes to drown from all the dark eyeshadow on your lids. The only way to make them stand out: falsies. If you can wear multiple pairs on your eyes at once, go for it.

4. I ALWAYS put on a nude lip. Be it a pinkish nude, a peachy nude, or concealer-type nude, I never ever put something on the lips that will contrast the dark makeup I’ve got going on on my eyes.

Here’s my new MOTD! I glammed it up by wearing falsies! I really do not put on false lashes all the time but when I do, I honestly feel like I am stepping up the glam factor up to the nth power! I need to get my hands on more false lashes though! They’re quite cheap here in the Philippines (quality-wise, they’re good for 3-4 wears)!

By the way, watch out for my next video: I will be going full on smoky eye using black shadows and putting on a little twist with something to make the look extra edgy. I swear, I will show you how I paint my face for the gods!

I am back to my chatty self! I have seriously missed talking to you guys! Here’s my Makeup Of The Day and listen to me blabber and ramble and all that good boca stuff. Ha!

This is just the first of a few chatty videos I have in store. I am also slowly trying to move out of my comfort zone, makeup-wise. I have a strong liner / smoky eye look coming up! I am also planning to play with glitter, but to be honest I don’t have any here. I am gonna have to go buy some. Any suggestions?

How are you all? It has been a while! I hope things are going well wherever you are!

Here is my new Makeup Of The Day featuring Kiko eyeshadows. I think Kiko eyeshadows are very underrated. I don’t see a lot of coverage on YouTube, so to speak. They perform really well. The blendability, color payoff, and workability are all really good, not to mention the fact that they are cheap as hell! Only one criticism from me: they tend to be a bit too powdery (think Lorac).

Anyway, I have been thinking of bringing back chatty videos. I am a vocal person and to be honest, I can’t keep my mouth shut any longer. I need to talk! Ha! So expect future videos to be me talking to the camera again.

Things have been busy from my end over here. I have been busy catching up with old friends, hanging out with relatives, going to the beach and frolicking and shit, and busy with completing requirements for Canada. I have been so busy that I couldn’t find the energy to film an MOTD! But here’s one, at last.

Today’s Makeup Of The Day is an updated daily makeup look that I do most days. I am lazy to deal with any eyeshadows so this has been my go-to look. It is easy, quick, and the end result is a very nice enhanced version of how I look like without makeup. Ha!

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this. I am glad to be getting back to filming, so expect a lot more MOTDs coming your way.

Here is my version of Daytime Glam featuring my most favourite lip combo at the moment. I have been rocking this lip combo every day for the past two weeks now and I have been getting nothing but praises! I thought I’d share it with you, of course.

I do not normally wear false lashes but because I’m going glam, I had to wear them in this video. I am also currently searching for good lashes here in the Philippines. Any suggestions?

I have also been gravitating towards the Naked 1 palette by Urban Decay a whole lot lately. Even my mum has been loving it! 😀 I seem to favor it more than the Lorac Pro 1, for now at least.

Here’s my new MOTD, where I employ a similar technique that I used when I did my New Year’s Eve tutorial: I apply a pop of colour along the lower lash line and I let that be the focus of the entire look. It is quite easy to achieve. The tricky part is to make sure that all the rest of the colours applied on the face won’t compete with whatever colour is on the lash line. Also, I was debating whether to apply Naked Lunch on the lids but I went for it anyway, and I’m glad that it complements the pop of blue!

Anyhooha, I am still lounging around and relaxing in the Philippines. While I am glad to be here and hang out with friends and family, I am starting to get a little bit bored because I don’t do a whole lot and maybe because I do not have easy access to makeup stuff? Priorities… Ha!

I hope you guys like my MOTD and I look forward to bringing you guys another video next time. Thank you for watching and sharing!
