Shoe Thrifting Finds + Tips

Hey Lovelies!
Let me end this month by sharing to you my latest shoe finds from my last thrift this month plus a tip on how to clean and disinfect it.
If your'e a friend of mine in Facebook I just recently posted a status saying "I got more excited about thrifting rather than shopping at my local mall" Yes I really do! because for me thrifting is like an adventure you just go there and don't know what exciting pieces you can find plus It's cheap. I really didn't plan to get new shoes but when I saw these pairs I'm like i just have to get those.

First is this silver flats.

I really like the color of it, I can pair it with any outfit it was in size 40 which makes my feet feel really comfy and fits me perfectly though I am a size 39. A satin fabric plus in a very good condition.

The second one is this pair of black wedge ankle boots.

I really like the design especially the peep toe and the chain detailing which adds edge.

          

so easy to wear just slip on you feet,zip it up and your'e good to go!

So comfy to wear shorts and dresses can go with it and very stylish.

Now for the tips:

I know some of you guys don't prefer buying second hand shoes because of the skin diseases or irritation that you might get from wearing a second hand shoe. Here's my tips on how I disinfect mine before using it.

First I am using a baby wipes to remove all the dirt and dust then I'll let it dry. Then taking my Burlington BioFresh Foot and Shoe antimicrobial spray I spray it all over the shoes generously and let it dry to remove the funky odor(thirft store scent) and bacteria. I also suggest to choose the shoe which looks barely used. 

you can buy this product at all SM department store.

And that's it for today's post, I hope to post a lot more this coming September see yah! 

Simple Purple eye make-up using Aziza palette in Houston

I know I've been posting colorful night time make-up tutorials lately especially over the weekends, but today I'm gonna be featuring a purple eye make-up look using the Aziza palette in Houston which i feel like more appropriate on daytime (though i used bold lip color on this one lol).Anyways have you heard this brand yet? well me too haven't heard it before. I saw these palettes when we went to Duty Free Subic last summer but never paid attention because I am not familiar with it. At my last visit to Batangas for the long weekend I saw this brand on the local mall there and was surprised by how much it is cost. Wanna know how much? this palette retails for Php.99.00 only-- what? so I grabbed two Houston and Denver.
As I was browsing the internet I read few blogger's posts about this brand and was surprised that this brand was popular back in the 70's and 80's more interesting facts about this brand on http://www.luuux.com/.
And now for the tutorial.
After doing your face and eyebrow routine you may now proceed on the eyes.

1. Start with the eye shadow primer and blend.
2. Taking the first eye shadow on the right side of the palette dust it all over the lid.
3. Taking the lightest purple color apply it on the crease area
4. Gradually apply the darkest purple from the palette blend together with the first shadow that we apply on the crease.
5. bring the darkest purple color on the lower lash-line and line your waterline.
6. lastly apply liquid eye-liner, curl lashes and add mascara. This is optional but you can add falsies if you want to.
7. Finish off the look with some blush and lip color here I am using a cherry colored lipstick to add color onto my face.

A really cheap eye-shadow worth trying for I know they're not as good as the quality of UD and Mac shadows but hey you got what you pay for. 

Products used:

Nyx Dark Shadow Crimson Amulet palette review and swatches

Are you one of those gothic fanatics? Oh well you might like this product review because today I am gonna be reviewing the Nyx Crimson Amulet palette inspired by the movie of Tim Burton's “Dark shadows”.
When I watched the Dark Shadow movie trailer last April 2012 with Johnny Depp as the main character I must admit I was so excited to watch the film and I got even more excited when Nyx cosmetics came up with the limited edition palette inspired by the movie (I was like going super crazy about it).luckily I got the said palette as a give away price from Ms. Airah of Airahmorena TV which makes the palette so so especial to me.

Let’s talk about the packaging first, if your kind of person who loves collecting unique and limited edition palettes you might want to haul this. It comes in this Collinwood inspired box with all of this gothic artwork on it, creepy huh! It opens like a book and it has a snap closure.

Swatches with primer.

The first page contains 24 eye-shadows a mixed of matte and shimmers.

It also comes with a full size mirror which I love perfect when you’re traveling.

On the next page you will see the main women characters with their fab make-up on and Instructions on how to achieve or re-create the look.

on the right side you will have the 1 mini eye-shadow base, 1 mini liquid eye liner 5 blushes 1 Illuminator and 4 lip colors. .

Swatches and more photos.

The liquid eyeliner is a bit tricky to use because of the flimsy applicator if your'e a newbie I suggest to use a stiff applicator upon applying or not to use this at all and also this liquid eyeliner rubs off easily which kinda sucks!

The blushes are so pigmented it's also a mixed of matte and shimmer.

Highlighter.

swatches of the lip colors. 

If you’re wondering where to buy this palette I knew Make-up stash carries this for pre-order. just go to her Facebook page and check it out Click me!.

I absolutely recommend this palette I love how it comes with a complete set to create a look. I am not a Gothic but I love the packaging an addition for my collection. Wearable eye-shadows very pigmented and blendable, the lip colors are mixed of nude and bright colors. Travel friendly and most of all cruelty free..

Hope you find my review very useful go get your's now It's really worth the money. thanks for reading my post feel free to leave a comment and let's be friends. bye!

Party Girl Make-up Tutorial

Hey Lovelies!

It's weekend once again I have here another tutorial for those who want to go out tonight.. want to wear colorful night-out look? just keep on reading.. 

First you may wanna start of with a clean moisturized face, apply foundation, conceal any blemishes and set everything off with powder.

Define your'e eyebrows for that cleaner look it will serve as the frame of our face.

Onto the EYES!

apply any creamy white eyeliner as a base and blend very well this will help the color to pop out more.

apply any coffee color eye-shadow you have on to the crease this will serve as our transition color later on. 

Then apply the teal eye-shadow color onto the lid not passing the crease apply gradually to achieve the intense color that you want.

Taking a purple eye-shadow top it over to the coffee color eye-shadow that we put earlier blend the two colors very well.

Taking a black eye-shadow intensify the outer V to create depth and blend...

of course apply the same teal color on the 1/3 inner part of the lower lash-line and the purple color on the 1/3 outer part of the lash -line apply highlighter on the brow-bone and tear-ducts of the eyes. 

Line your upper lash line w/ any eyeliners you prefer here i am using a cream black eyeliner.

Curl your lashes add falsies and generous amount of mascara don't forget your lower lashes they need some love too.

Were almost done--- apply bronzer on the hallows of your cheeks.

Blush blush blush- then blend

Apply any nude lip color you prefer and we are done...

The final look<3
