Glow by Lady E

I’ve been in a fashion rut ever since my stress levels sky rocketed but thanks to a certain Ms. M, I suddenly got inspired to dress up again. It was great timing because MB was taking me shopping the next day. I got more inspired to liven up my wardrobe. During the weekend though, something happened that really made me mad and so I was determined to go to war, I mean work, come Monday. Of course, I needed to be in my best “war” attire: Sometimes when I feel sick or stressed, I try to glam up so as to make up for my mood. (Clothes are from Hyphen Luxe) Had lunch with my sister, Dr. G., at Benny’s. Will write about that in my food blog . EOTD (sorry for the blurry photo): I used Flow, Tainted, Half Truth and Evidence from the UD 15th Anniversary Palette. Tools of the trade: Finding Mr. Bright Bobbi Brown Pale Pink and MAC Playing Koi Must accessorize:   Can’t get enough of this purse: A last minute addition: The mask ring was also a last minute addition.

Cold weather makes me sick. As in literally. So what better way to cheer myself up than to play dress up! Harem/pj pants are one of our bestsellers at Hyphen Luxe. At first, I had a hard time styling it. Luckily my best friend A said it might be the print. And it was! I was wearing the wrong prints that’s why they looked awkward on me. So that night, I grabbed 2 pairs from our rack (yeah, I do that a lot) and tried them on when I got home. Here’s the result: I like this background because the shapes complement the print on my pants. I think I’ll be taking more photos on this spot in the future. My blouse is a chiffon white blouse also from Hyphen Luxe. Those are my favorite wedges so you’ll be seeing a lot of them in future posts. Here’s a breakdown of the accessories: Hyphen Luxe Owl cuff Necklace from a fellow bazaarista The print on my pants My periwinkle blue purse, a gift from the in-laws in Singapore I’ve had the necklace and the purse for quite some time no...

I got these purses from Hyphen Luxe: Green Rose Purse Old Rose Studded Purse These are Php390 each but I think they’re on sale now at Php350. I’m not a purse person because I just have to bring at least 1/4 of my room in my bag. But I just couldn’t resist these as #1, it’s green (which is my favorite color) and #2, it’s pink and it sparkles! I decided to bring the old rose purse one day to work and see how much would fit inside. To my surprise, almost everything fit! I just had to take my makeup out of the kit and voila! My everyday essentials are in! It was too bulky though but never mind that. I’m happy that I got to use the purse and still had everything with me. Oh, and the straps didn’t fail me! Hyphen Luxe has other purses and you might also want to check out Hyphen Curiosities that carries purses, accessories and other interesting knick knacks. We’re just starting this brand so there are only 2 collections there. More to come!

Here are the photos, as promised in my previous post. Here, I used the Revlon PhotoReady liquid foundation and the Fanny Serrano 2-Way Cake. For the colors, I used different palettes – Naked, UD<3 NY, Clinique, Bobbi Brown, etc, etc, etc. We did different looks according to the clothes/dresses of each collection. Here are some of the looks: M’s girl next door look C’s romantic look (take note, C is super acidic that’s why I used a lighter shade on her) M’s romantic look C’s K-pop look M’s goddess look C’s party girl look M’s rebel look So what do you think? After all the heat, sweat and clothes changing, both Revlon and FS products held up. It was a shame because we only had to take a few photos for each look. So, I really recommend these products if you want to glam up for a special occasion but don’t want to compromise your budget.
