Make-up Monday - Haulage and KK2

Good morning, girls!

How are y'all this fine morning?

I hope everyone's woken up and all made up.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Kikay Konference 2 is on and poppin'.

Friday, July 24th at 3:30 pm at my place.

Please come early so that we can finish up early. As some of our girls have work the next day.

Our theme is all-natural. :) Natural make-up tips, tricks, and recipes. Hihihi.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So... First off, can I just apologize about the video?

Now to be fair, I shot it yesterday. Finished it all up and stuff...

...Problem is it's in .mov format, which apparently can not be recognized by Windows Movie Maker.

So now, I have about 45 minutes of make-up tutorial footage that I can't edit. And I can't very well upload it as it is.

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

Techie girls out there, can you help me out? Is there a FREE program that I can use without any watermarks or stuff like that? Cause the ones I found had a time limit and a watermark.

Oh wells.

Again, I'm sorry, girls. I know that I've been saying this every Monday, but I really am.

E.L.F. Haulage!!!

These came last Tuesday, I think... I'm not sure...

E.L.F. went on a 50% sale of their Studio line and Mineral line. Naturally, I had to get in on the action.

Yummy envelopes! Hihihi.

Don't you just love opening stuff up?

I do! Presents. Envelopes. Pandora's boxes.

You name it, I'll open it.

S-s-s-Studio! (And saling pusang $1 stuff.)

Studio Line: 2 x Complexion Perfection, 2 x Eye Primer & Liner Sealer, Hollywood Lashes, Eyebrow Treat and Tame in Light/Clear, Eyeliner & Shadow Stick in Pearl/Glow; Warm, Cool, and Golden Bronzers.

The Bronzers and Complexion Perfection are new additions to the studio line. The Complexion Perfection had pretty great reviews so I ordered two. I figured, I'd be needing those for photoshoots din kasi.

And to save up on shipping I added some $1 stuff.

$1 Stuff: 2 x Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Luminance (Remember the one that I crushed to bits? Yeah, I loved it so much, I ordered it again.), Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Black, 2 x Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Coffee,

Sadly, as with everything... Something must break...

Ouch.

Buti nalang dalawa na yung inorder ko na Luminance. LOL. The oher one was ok. This one, I'll crush to bits again. Hahaha.

The Warm Bronzer was just cracked on the side and crushing it would have been a waste. So...

...I fixed up with some alchohol, instead.

And remember my Free Mini?

I fixed it up, too. Just so the powder doesn't fly all over the place. It looks funny, I know. Wala kasi akong mahanap na pang-press sa kanya, so I used cotton buds. LOL. ...Parang dinutdot lang ng bata, eh.

LOL.

And now, onto the Mineral Haulage...

I've been wanting those lipsticks, but they were a bit pricy. Trust me to think that $5 is pricy. Hahaha. Kuripot ampf. So with the 50% off sale, chance ko na. Hahaha.

The lipglosses are a new addition to their Mineral Line. (At first, the code didn't work with them, and I was willing to get them at full price, but yayyy, when I tried it again kasama din s'ya sa 50%)

It's a lip army! Be warned. My lips are going to wage war.

Mineral Eye Liner in Black and Mineral Booster. The Booster I thought would be extremely helpful for shoots. Naubos kasi agad yung Translucent Mattifying Powder. LOL. At least ito mukhang matatagalan.

Thus endeth my haulage show and tell. :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

When I was fixing up my make-up after the haul came in... I had this nasty feeling.

...SOBRANG DAMI KO NA PALA TALAGANG MAKE-UP.

And I felt terrible about that.

So now I'm on simot mode... You know, making simot all the stuff that I ended up not using kasi I kept buying new stuff.

Waste not, want not.

This Johnson's Powder is probably a bajillion years old. LOL.

...I stopped using it, kasi nabasag sya. I thought it best to crush it and use it.

My Yardley Concealer that I so loved, but can't find anywhere else... I bought a concealer brush just for it, para masimot ko, never got around to doing it until now. The Bodyshop concealer that I got about a few months ago is down to it's last few swipes. Ang bilis ko talaga mag-go through ng concealer. Ang dami kasing mga chuva eh. Hahaha. Tsk.

Oooh. And since the Johnson's Powder has been crushed to bits and is now living in an old EDM container...

Kenya has a new home! :) Hihihi.

Teting, here's my surprise:

E.L.F.'s Mineral Lipstick Swatches.

So it'll be easier for you to choose which shade you'd like to buy. :)

They seem to last pretty long. However, most of the shades look almost the same... Thankfully, they're all shades that I would wear. :) Oooh the neutral thrills I will have!

Geoms wanted a review of EDM's Jane Austen Line...

Here you go, sweetie. Mwah!

Jane Eyre, Southern Belle, Dreaming Dandy, and Anna Karenina

Ok so first off, I'd like to say that I didn't really think that I'd like this collection. I just got it because it was with the compact and just so I could try it for kicks... But I ended up loving it.

Jane Eyre: It looks and feels like Hot Chocolate (which y'all know I love.), but Jane Eyre, is slighly darker and has a pinkish undertone. It has less shimmer, too. Personally, I like it. I'm a neutral girl.

Southern Belle: It's about a shade lighter than Ginger Peach. It is a lot more pink than it is peach.

Dreaming Dandy: It's Mistletoe without the shimmer.

Anna Karenina: This one, I really thought I'd hate. I'm just not a blue girl. I really can't pull off blue eyeshadow... Then came this gem. It's a pretty navy blue that borders on indigo.

My recommendation? It's a wonderful addition to anyone's EDM collection.

Here they are in action...
