Every girl should find what beauty products and regimen works for them. What works for me might not work for you and vice versa. Anyway, I'm happy with my new found beauty regimen. It's much simpler than my old one! Will post both regimen for comparison.
I stopped using pressed powder/foundation ever since I found out about Benefit's Porefessional and Pond's BB cream. They instantly became my holy grail and I couldn't go one day without my BB cream. Couldn't stop hyping about it that I received 6 tubes of it for Christmas. It's insane!
Anyway, since I used Pond's BB Cream, I stopped using pressed powder because the bb cream alone was enough to make my face stay matte the whole day with only a little oiliness at the end of the day. Its formula makes you sweat less and makes you less oily making your face look fresh the whole day! It also gives your face glowing the whole day. It's my secret to staying fresh ;) KIDDING!
The light was too light for me though and the beige was waaaaay too dark for my skin tone which made me realize that it's easier to blend a lighter bb cream to your face than to blend a darker shade. I'm not satisfied with the light shade now and way unhappier with the beige shade. Thinking of mixing both shades which makes it such a hassle!! As if my makeup kit is not big enough to carry around now I'm thinking of carrying 2 tubes of bb cream!
Anyway, I mastered the art of applying makeup while driving. That's my everyday routine.
- Wake up
- Drink Calamansi juice
- Drink coffee
- Eat breakfast
- Procrastinate a little
- Take a bath
(I know that there's something wrong with this routine that's taking me so much time to get ready for work. Somewhere between wake up and take a bath there are a lot of things going on. Shall do something about this! It should be wake up, take a bath and drink coffee. maybe i should eat my breakfast in my office. Will try it next week when I come back from Manila.)
- Drive to work
- Apply make up while driving
- Get to work at 10AM (WTF)
- Be awesome. (wink)
I'm not happy with this even though I still go to my sister's office every morning to do stuff, I still want to make it to a point that I get to my office early. My target is to get to work before 8am but so far I was only able to go to work before 8am once. SO NOT PROUD ABOUT THIS.
It should be my main target this March. I cant believe 2 months have passed and I've been slacking off like a crazy woman with my wake up early resolution. In fact, I find my self waking up later each day. I just don't understand because I have not been going out at night anymore!
Random note: My body's craving alcohol. I want to drink beer below zero now! UGH.
The thing is, I really want to set myself as an example to my colleagues. I just cannot stomach going to work late every single day anymore!! God, please help me with this!!
Queen of disorganized thoughts. DRIFTED AGAIN.
Back to my makeup routine:
OLD Makeup routine:
- Ponds BB Cream
- Concealer (optional) only on days I feel like putting it on because I feel that the BB cream was able to cover everything I want to hide *ehemeyebagsehem*
- Shu Eumura eyebrow pencil
and anything I feel like adding on after.
- contour cheeks
- add blush on or cheek tints
- lipstick or lip balm depending on my mood
- sometimes when Im feeling a little brow OC I use 3 to 4 products in it. You'll know I took time with my brows if it looks extra nice. If it was being uneven, I just penciled it while driving. LOL
New makeup routine
- primer (optional)
- concealer
- eyebrow pencil
- Shu Eumura Princess lip and cheek tint!!!!!!!!!!!! (HYPE OVERLOAD)
- contour cheeks (gotta give the illusion of thinner face heehee :>)
I love my new makeup routine because I wear less makeup now. I never really liked wearing too much makeup or foundation on my face because it feels fake. I want to look naturally good and I think it's every woman's goal. Women spend so much time applying their makeup to look like they didn't put on any. It still depends on my mood which makeup routine I prefer and depends on where I'm going. Lately, I've been loving my zero makeup on just moisturizer face. I no longer feel not presentable.
If you read this, make sure that you get the Shu Uemura Princess lip and cheek tint NOW!!!!!! because 1.) It's limited edition and I don't think they still have a lot of it in the market. :( Good news though, I asked my friend from Japan to hoard 6 tubes of this 3 tubes from me (:p) and 3 tubes will be for sale! GO GET IT NOW!
2.) IT'S SUPER AWESOME I CANNOT...................................................
3.) Ever since this makeup product, I've been obsessed with cream makeup! Blush, lip products and is currently looking for a cream bronzer because of it's convenience. I don't need to carry around a brush anymore. Just my hands. LOL
MAKEUP WISHLIST:
