All About Eyes


Renowned makeup artist Bobbi Brown—famous for her signature black frames—is often asked how to wear makeup with glasses. In line with her philosophy of Pretty Powerful, Bobbi teaches women how to define eyes and make them seen behind lenses. I can definitely relate to this ( I even made an LOTD years before) as a frames user and I agree that makeup should complement and not compete with glasses. It should be a harmonious mix of colors and shapes and styles. These are the key theses of the book: for statement frames, go for bolder colors and for delicate frames, choose a softer look. No matter the preferred shape of and style of frames—round or square, bold or classic—Bobbi makes it easy to create standout eye looks. And this is made possible by knowing the makeup that suits your eye, face shape, etc that Bobbi Brown navigates through her book (and through a counter service and new line of glasses soon!)

But also, Everything Eyes teaches and redefines a lot of makeup techniques that are unique to Bobbi and her philosophy of makeup as style to each individual, but this time, more instructional and step-by-step versus her last book. I will apply learnings in my next LOTD's and this book is definitely one that you would go back to and read again to remind you of style and the right cosmetics for your eyes.

A Pro Application



A few weeks ago, MAC launched their PRO lipsticks (click for reviews) but alongside that, I had a one-on-one with a MAC artist with regard to lipstick application. Now, if you can see the swatches, you'll know how intense the color payoff of the lipsticks and if you ask me, I won't really care about application (you just know when the product can take care of that). But then during the event, with the use of extra products like a lip primer, lip pencil, etc - I realized that I need volume for my lips. I am impressed with they can do this in minutes. Thanks, MAC!

Happy Anniversary, BYS!


BYS is a fun, fashionable and reachable brand that is making an impact in the global market as well as locally. In the past 12 months since its launch in the Philippines, BYS focused on face products such as foundation primers, a new matte foundation, crème foundation (which is a bestseller in the Philippines), and the new HD (high definition) powders - reviews coming up soon. I have reviewed nonetheless some of its lipstick lines and I was really impressed with how they value their users' value for money. With 120 stores currently, BYS has proven that it is possible to produce innovative cosmetics without exorbitant price tags, says Ed Aitken, founder of this Australian makeup brand - whom we met at the anniversary launch. Currently, BYS has shifted its focus on brows with new brow pencils, an auto brow, and a game-changing brow kit which will be in Philippine stores next month. Also, there are a lot of new products for lips and face (I swatched some below) that are truly exciting. Way to go, BYS, and congratulations on your success!

A Beauty Philosophy




In beauty, I never forget to look at a brand's philosophy. There, I see the rationale and goals behind products, technologies and innovations and that way I truly know what I'm consuming. I also get to know how sincere the brand is and how you two can be connected.

Neon Human


So here's the makeup I wore to the Avicii concert! Neon is just color to the 2nd power and my goal is to be one with the lights. Neon works extremely under violet back light, but also with very bright night lights and it changes according to the color of the environment. It's just so exciting, fun and cool for me. So let me be a neon human!
Photo with creative filter
Here are the products I used, neons mostly from BYS
Eyebrow: Majolica Majorca Brow & Lash colorist + Benefit Brozings
Eyeshadow: BYS Neon Eye shadow
Eyeliner:  (upper) Catwalk Cosmetics Harajuku black Liquid liner (lower) BYS Kohl Eyeliner in White
Falsies: Flutter False Eye Lashes in Drama Queen
Mascara: (lower) Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Meister
Lip color: MAC Nicki Minaj 1 Lipstick
Lip gloss: BYS Neon Lip gloss in pink

The focus is both eyes and lips. On eyes, I used different colors of matte neon shades from BYS which Ill review soon! i made sure that the adjacent colors blend well.

On lips, I published in my IG account a photo of the pink lipstick which changes color when under different bright lights! And oh, the BYS neon lip gloss has a very perfect consistency, coverage and color payoff! Reviews next!! 
The bold liner and falsies gave more drama and contrasy to the colorful eyes.
White eyeliner gave bigger eyes, and the yellow shadow on top further opened it.
If I would name it other way, maybe Hawaiian? hahaha and Oh, I ate a lot of Hawaiian food in Boracay!!
I also wore some of the eye colors here in my Boracay vacay (or parties) and they really pop out with color!! They called me lady in pink! hahaha
So, fresh from the Avicii concert which was quite overpowering and oh super amazing with great visuals and lights, My favorite part was Silhouettes! It was really empowering for me!
I came with bloggers Tracy Ayson, Aisa Ipac, Tin Iglesies and Ana Gonzales and oh while I flashed myself with colors, they did with their Ray-Ban's! I really like the flash lens! I'll get one real soon and maybe teach how to wear it with the right lipsticks? Yeah?
I will be going to the Wanderland Music & Arts Festival tonight again with them and I'm so excited for Neon Trees and Temper Trap. I know 1 song from each. hahaha but I just I wanna listen and expose my ears to more indie rock bands! Below's my fav from Neon Trees! At any rate, did you like the Neon LOTD?
