Airbrush Bride: Misty

I've been pushing aside updating this Blogger account for I am currently working on my new website and yes, moving to Wordpress too. I wanted new posts, especially makeover ones to be the main thing when I finally get it up. It just seems though, that the site's makeover will take awhile. So, here I am finally posting this long awaited makeover.

To my lovely "buena mano" bride Misty, thank you from the bottom of my heart for again trusting me to do yours and your family's makeover during this very special moment. Doing your makeup during your civil wedding almost 2 years ago is already very memorable. Doing it once again during your church ceremony feels all the more heart-warming. It kind of feels like a tap in the shoulder, and telling me that I'm really doing a good job. ;)

I'd like to also congratulate you and sir Leo for I know you are already expecting your little one and I'm sure that baby will be the cutest ever. God bless you and your family.

Haul: MAC Cosmetics

 Just when I told myself I won't be posting another haul anytime soon, I just can't help it. I have a folder full of photos to share. Hehe. Today's another special haul 'coz it's my first ever from MAC. Though I own a few items from them, those were gifts given to me. This time, it's from my own purchase (using again of course my hard-earned cash).

If you haven't seen my latest high end makeup haul, click here.

But see this? Wouldn't you feel giddy holding and seeing this bag full of makeup? I bet all you makeup junkies like me agree too. I just feel lucky that I do freelance makeup so I don't have to feel guilty about my purchases. (Lucky excuse) Hahaha!

Glamour Daze collection pouch I got for free

Truth is, this purchase wasn't planned the way I wanted it to happen. I was supposed to purchase a 2nd batch of high end products at Make Up Pro (sometime mid-December) for my wedding gigs last December but it was unfortunate that when I arrived at the store in Makati, they were already closed. And the best bet I could do to get my hands on some basic essentials is to go to MOA. And so I went, thus this haul.

Peek in with me and read more to see what products I purchased for my kit...

Makeup Pro Haul - High End Makeup

I know I've been most delinquent in updating my blog in the past weeks. Don't want to reason out but surely a lot of things have happened and I can't wait to share 'em with you. =)))
But let me just jumpstart and share one haul i'm mostly proud of, not that these are high end products and more on the pricey side but because these are things I've written in my wish list from years back and now finally got them.

All these are from my hard-earned money and not for showing off. I know a lot who ask me what products I have in my kit, and I myself love knowing other Pro MUA-recommended products out there. So I'm hoping this could be helpful too.

Got all these from Make Up Pro last November. I know, it's late and I think they've slightly raised some prices already but theirs are still remarkably lower than those from the malls. The place is a makeup heaven, I warn you. I went there with a list so as not to go over my budget. I recommend you do too. You can always come back for more, though. Haha!
I focused more on initially investing on face base products so read more to see which ones I got...

Post-nup: Maryknoll and Neil

The most beautiful smiles come from those who bear a growing life in them.

Meet my beautiful bride Maryknoll. I was very blessed to meet her and work with her and her husband for a post-nuptial shoot which we did in Manila.

Super thanks to the awesome photographer Mot Rasay for trusting my work and referring me to be part of the shoot.

Extreme Makeover: Hair Edition

I've always been that girl known for my big black hair. One night, I went ahead and gathered enough courage to change it up and finally go out of my ultra-comfort zone. Thus, I'm sharing this special post about the most adventurous thing I've done so far.

Things didn't happen as I've wished for the to and I got scared, but I'm sharing these things (tips, tricks and trivia too) for all you guys out there.

Read on and see how I did all of it here...
