I bought a cute floral dress from Dorothy Perkins and since it's so feminine and it already has a strong print, I wanted to go a little simpler but I still want it to look fun and feminine.
I went with shimmery shadows without my usual eyeliners to further define my eyes. I let my lashes do that for me. For the rest of my makeup, I went with soft pink shades to pair with the light and sparkly eye makeup.
That's the floral dress I was talking about. :)
Here are my close up pictures of my eye makeup (with the bushy brows LOL):
Just use a shimmery pink on the lids, contour it with a gray-brown shade and finally dab some white glitters at the center. Use a purple liner at the outer lower lash line and use a silver-ish one at the inner corners up to the middle part. Finally, use a volumizing and lengthening mascara for the lashes!
And there you have it! My super simple and super easy to do eye makeup.
It's a very light and cute look. I think it would be a nice day time Valentines day makeup look, don't you think so?
Hope you're all safe and dry. The typhoon Glenda did a lot of damage in the metro and caused blackouts around majority of Luzon. We didn't have electricity for 7 hours yesterday and 12 hours today.
Today's weather was much, much better. It's just a little cloudy and some rain every now and then. Work was suspended today so I was stuck at home where there was no electricity. My family decided to go out for lunch and do some groceries to escape boredom and the heat inside our house.
So yeah, I have to put on makeup inside our dark house. I only have one window inside my room that is almost blocked by buildings so I don't really have much light while I was doing my makeup. But even if we have this dark, gloomy weather, that doesn't mean our makeup has to be like that too...
So I decided to go with bright and fun colors! Weeeeee~!
These are the makeup products I used for the look.
The highlight of the look is the eye makeup.
(Sorry for the mascara mess)
I mixed white, purple, and blue from my Make Up For Ever Eyeshadow Palette.
The eyeshadows are matte but I used a shimmery liner at the lower eyelid.
And then I went with a glossy, Hot Pink lips and a warm pink blush.
So what do you think of this look? Would you wear this eye makeup as well... errr... while shopping for groceries? LOL
I'm a huge fan of Lisa Eldridge. She's like my ultimate Makeup Guru. I watch her videos first, above anyone else, when I want to know how to apply stuff, or if I want to try a certain look. Her videos are so clear, clean and she really does the look right on so you see the whole application process.
And knowing that these lipglosses are one of her All-Time-Favorites, I fell moooore in-love with them! But of course it's not the sole reason why...
They are highly pigmented. Very solid colors. It's also long-lasting (probably the gloss with the longest staying power among all the lipglosses I have tried so far!) and has a mild, minty smell! I didn't encounter any lip-bleeding so far. And it cools on your lips slowly and not so stingy unlike other plumping glosses.
Here are the swatches of the lipglosses:
1 - First Crush
2 - Screen Siren
3 - Angelic
4 - Lollipop

Next are detailed views about each glosses:
First Crush
It's a very solid, nude lipgloss. Like I said before, I was planning to buy this kind of shade.
It really looks good if you plan on doing a simple makeup and it also goes with a smokey eyes too! It's the first one I used when I opened the box. And is currently my favorite! :)
Screen Siren
My sis already made an FOTD post regarding this shade.
This is EXTREMELY red (haha). Very pigmented. It still looks good when it's washed out. This is the most long-lasting out of the whole set.
Angelic
It's a light, pale pink gloss with little silver glitters. It will also looks good for simple or smokey makeup! I think I will use it if I want to look a little playful and cute!
and last but not the least...
Lollipop
I believe this is a limited edition as mentioned in the box. It's solid fuchsia with silver glitters. Also love this shades since we're currently crazy in-love with fuchsia lippies! Just check out some posts we've made about other fuchsia lippies, here and here, to know just how much!
To sum it all up...
What I like about it:
It's very pigmented
Long-lasting
Never had any lip bleeding or chapping so far
Smells minty & isn't overpowering
Not so stingy for a plumping gloss
I have a 0.09oz ones but it also comes in 0.29oz
Love every, single shade
and Lisa Eldridge likes it too (haha)
What I don't like about it:
It's not locally available in the Philippines
I have no idea how much Rica bought this (haha!)
I honestly can't think of anything else not to like!
That's about it! Hope you like this review!

Thanks a bunch, Rica, for introducing me to these fabulous lippies! I would never have discovered it's 'awesomeness' (Barney style) without you! Love you lots! Miss you! :)
*Btw, it's really important that you apply this gloss in bare, dry lips! Not even with lipbalm. It doesn't blend well with other lip products.
