A Tutorial: Depotting The Smashbox Studio Pop Ultimate Palette
The first high-end makeup palette I bought was the Smashbox Studio Pop Ultimate Palette. It’s a holiday palette with 48 eyeshadows (?), blushes, highlighter, cream eyeliner, glosses and a bronzer thrown in for good measure. Quality-wise, this is better than Urban Decay, I kid you not. Read the reviews from Makeup Alley and other beauty… Continue reading

Beauty Loot
K. This is a fairly lengthy post, hahaah. So, I did something crazy. I went on a makeup shopping binge. It all started when I didn’t buy what supposedly was what I’ve always wanted, the NARS “The Happening” palette.

Can I… Continue reading

Pretty sure it’ll take six to eight weeks before… Continue reading

Waki Week: In Pictures

Eye of The Tiger
My sister played with my Coastal Scents palette and here’s the final look. Very dramatic, no? I especially love the catseye liner and wish I could duplicate this look by myself, hihihihihi! Also, try the MAC Studio Tech foundie. Lawrd, it blurs out pores like nothing else! That’s why my fezlak looked airbrushed. Continue reading

Color Me Impressed
Really starting to get into makeup, eye-makeup in particular. Unfortunately, I’m still learning how to apply ’em, hahaha! I had my heart set on a cool Smashbox eyeshadow palette but I decided to buy me a Coastal Scents palette first for practice. Then if I improve, that’s the time I’d buy the expensive ones, teehee.… Continue reading
