Fresh Makeup for Entourage Beauties

Today's post is another set of makeover(s) I did over a week ago.

Meet my college friend Kimmi, who I've always been told looks so much like me. We've been called and mistaken to be the other one a number of times. We recalled how his then-boyfriend-now-husband who was also my classmate in one subject, got surprised I look so much like her. Haha! It was fun reminiscing and seeing her again with her lovely family.

Enough with my blabbering and let's get on with the makeover. ;)

Kimmi requested for curly hair and as I'm loving side-swept hair at the moment, I did a curly side-swept for her hair. I used a 1-inch curling iron to achieve tighter curls.

Makeover for Alyssa

 I know I'm lacking up on posts but I hope to make it up to all of you with this wonderful makeover. ;)

Two Fridays ago, my niece Alyssa once again asked for my help to give her a makeover as she was joining a pageant for school. This girl's ultra talented in dancing and bagged the Best in Talent award.

I'm such a proud Tita! When I last glammed her up months ago for their grad ball, she was named "Star of the Night"(blog here) Certified award-winning beauty and talent! Hihi!

Wish List Haul: Urban Decay, Make Up Forever, Sigma

They always say, wishes are only for kids and they only happen in fairy tales. Well, what I'm sharing today is truly a dream come true. Hihi. I've wished for these things and have listed them on my "To Own List" for the longest time and they're finally mine now. Hihi. Though not like in fairy tales where a magical character surprisingly answers your wishes, to get these things I've worked for the hardest (blood, sweat, tears and all! Haha!). And I'm still extremely happy like a kid! =)

Last Saturday after doing Tita Perla's makeover for her Renewal of Vows (makeover post here), I went home with a package that I've long been waiting for! I've finally decided to cross out some of the top things in my wish list. :D

And then a week later, just yesterday, another big purchase came...something I've always for the longest possible time I know wished to have and own.

What are they? Read more to see...

Renewal of Vows: Bride - Perla

Good morning beautiful people! =)
I have been truly busy with work the past week thus the lack of post. I'm being blessed to have more makeup work than I'd imagine and I am very thankful.
Last Saturday was a pleasure as I was tasked to help Tita Perla to prep up for her and Tito Monching's 25th Wedding Anniversary and Renewal of Vows. :)
She's my long-time friend Ingrid's mom. It was fun going back to their home, after over a decade. I used to always go there whenever we'd have projects to accomplish and dance and plays to rehearse. We all couldn't even believe time passed by that quickly.

 Tita Perla, or Nanay as her children lovingly calls her (I swear I'd love my future children to call me that too, hehe!), has amazing skin to start with so doing her makeup was effortless. I prepped up her skin with my favorite combo Celeteque Hydration Moisturizer and Encara BB Cream. For added coverage, I used Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation in some areas.
