Weekend Project

Full disclosure: this did not actually happen in just one weekend. Why? I had to run all over the place to find the right materials for it.

Nonetheless, I am right chuffed I finally finished it today!

Interiors Inspiration

It has been a very long and arduous process, getting to this point where I am taking very seriously the need to clean up my junk and get everything in the house organised the way I want.

That said, I've been looking for inspiration from everywhere.

Last Leg

While not strictly a travel-related post--I told myself I'd stick to travel posts on Thursdays--this is still a journey and I just really wanted to get it out there.

Normally I would post one of my journals to Bean but as you've noticed, the past two weeks I've not really shared anything again. Mostly because I've been busy with my offline things and with the Feast of the Dead just passed, there were a lot of things that needed to be dealt with.

Old world charm

One of my nephews-in-law* was baptised last Sunday--that's where yesterday's photo came from. But that's not the main thing I'm going to talk about, as is obvious from the post title.

But first, a little about the baptism.

No, really, I'm that big?

Just a quick one for the night, having been generally busy with offline preparations for the coming of the little one.

Elianto Shimmer Sticks

Just a (still sealed) close-up preview of my collection of Elianto Shimmer Sticks since my original photo set didn't show the colours too clearly.

As planned, I'm going to start opening these and experimenting with them. I'm taking into consideration kiwikira321's suggestion to use the Too Faced base, though I may have to look for an alternative since I've never seen Too Faced on sale locally. Etude House might have a good one and M.A.C. is another one to consider. Or perhaps a good layering of moisturiser and powder?

I now make it a point to wear some make-up whenever I leave the house just because it's such a waste to collect the stuff and not use it. And I do enjoy collecting pretty make-up products.

I used:

• Myra Daily Sun Protect SPF 15
• Maybelline Clear Smooth Extra in Honey
• Nichido Eye Pencil in Metal Blue
• M.A.C. Lustre Eye Shadow in Aquadisiac
• Ever Bilena Blush in Starlight Shine
• The Face Shop Lipstick in PP403
• M.A.C. Amplified Creme Lipstick in Craving
• Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara in Black

It's my favourite thing to do to have a very basic look with just a pop of eye colour. The fiancé approves a lot though. He likes it when I use really bright pops of colour, particularly on my eyes.

I realised just now that I tend to favour the left side of my face in photos. I suppose it's a little automatic of me since I use my right hand to shoot. Or something. I'll do my best to practice other angles. ^.^
