Wedding Gig

I received a comment a while back asking me to post photos of my wedding gig. I won’t post all of them because I forgot to ask permission (ooops!) so I will just post photos of the bride and groom and the bride’s sister as I know them well and they can’t do anything about me posting their photos here. LOLZ.

This is J. She’s the bride’s sister. She had the best transformation among the 10 people I worked on. I couldn’t stop looking at her and telling her how beautiful she was after. These girls don’t use makeup. A simple powder, lipstick and eyeliner is their daily routine so I was surprised myself to see how they looked in full makeup.

I used my Stila smokey eye palette for the bridesmaids. The lipstick is Estee Lauder Berry Pink from the Pure Color line. This shade looked lovely on the sisters.

This is the bride. As she’s also not used to so much makeup, she asked me to apply just a little bit. She was the one who picked the eye looks for herself and her bridesmaids.

Everyone was used to seeing her that way (on the left) so when everybody saw her made up face, they were in awe. I also couldn’t help but gush as I’ve known her for years and this is the first time I saw her like this.

I used the Too Faced Romantic Eye palette for the bride. The eyeshadow is a combination of Soulmates, Cut the Cake and First Dance. Cheeks were a combination of NARS Orgasm and Estee Lauder while the lips are courtesy of Bobbi Brown.

Here are the newlyweds. This picture is actually getting a ton of Likes over in Facebook. Everyone is gushing over how beautiful the bride is. She is beautiful both inside and out.

The wedding ceremony was short and intimate as there were only a few guests. Just family and close friends. I don’t know about the party afterwards as after I retouched the bride’s face, I kissed them goodbye because my back was already 50 shades of pain! I really need to get a director’s chair for my next gig…

So Iya, I hope you like this post!

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
