Review: Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss #57 Insolence

I'm back for day 3 of my blogging penance! I'll be talking to you guys about my favorite lip gloss except it really doesn't feel like just a  gloss but like a liquid lipstick. 

This was my very FIRST Chanel product and I was drawn to it because of the color! This gloss sparked my love for Chanel makeup! So if you want to learn more about  Chanel's Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in #57 Insolence, read on!

Review: MAC Lipstick in House Wine

Hey Loves,

I'm back after a whole month of not blogging! I was really busy with my day job (www.paloalto.ph) and didn't really have the time to write! I've been pretty active on instagram though so if you have the time, please do follow me @paulineylaya for outfit of the day and face of the day posts! 

That being said, let's jump right into today's review!

I've been on a lipstick shopping spree last month so one of the lipsticks that I've picked up is MAC's Lustre lipstick in House Wine. I'd describe it as a sheer, glossy, very wearable red.

How To: Organize and store your makeup!

Hello Everyone!

Today I'll show you how I store my PERSONAL Makeup Collection. I've been watching loads of youtube videos of how other people store their makeup collection and I was always drawn to those who store them in a very minimalist way. I remember one of my favorite ways to store makeup was that of Wayne from gossmakeupartist see his video here.

At that time I didn't know where to buy the acrylic drawers and I knew that they weren't available locally plus if I ever bought them abroad it would be SOOOOO EXPENSIVE! Apparently the Kardashians use the same storage units. Looking up other videos I found that in the US Muji has a similar product at a lower price. 

It was only a matter of time until they had it here! :) I got my very own 5-drawer thing yesterday in MUJI ATC. It cost me PHP1,250 (almost USD30). Yet it's kinda expensive BUT IT LOOKS SO GOOD! :)))

Bride: Raissa + Arnie SDE 6.9.12

Raissa found me online. We talked on the phone a few times and she decided to trust me to do her makeup for her wedding.

The only request she had was to contour her "siopao cheeks" as much as possible. Since I've never seen her prior to the trial/prenup shoot day I was surprised to find that the "siopao cheeks" that she was so concerned about wasn't really a big deal. (Note: If you do have siopao cheeks, be THANKFUL! because when you turn 60-onwards, you'll still look youthful!)

Here are the photos of her wedding by Pix Republik Studios as well as her very creative SDE by Reel Republik Studios!

Bride: Varlene + Rommel 6.27.12

I met Varlene at the Bridal Fair in Festival Mall a few months before her wedding. We did her trial makeup there and I also got the chance to meet her mom. We weren't sure if she was acidic (foundation reacts with the skin making the foundation darker) or not so i decided to go with her natural skin tone which actually turned out to be a mistake! She later told me that her face became darker so I made sure to remember that for her wedding.

Here's their SDE video by Vipe Studio. Look for me! :))
