AVATAR

Awesome movie! James Cameron did it again. The the blues and greens we saw in the movie, ideas for real-life make up are in place. Check this out taken from the msn lifestyle page:



You need not see James Cameron's mega-blockbuster movie, Avatar, to get a sense of the enormity of its appeal, especially stylistically.

These aqua avatars have it all in the looks department. They're lithe, delicate and yet fierce, with outsized cheekbones and lanky legs.

They're also bluish-green. Surprise (not): Get ready for makeup meant to make you feel like you too can drop daintily from the treetops.

The Milani makeup line is first among the brands to pitch its colors as Avatar-inspired.

What that adds up to, basically, is stripping blue eye shadow across your eyes, and wiping, yes, a slightly blue hue across your lips. Add sparkly shadow on the lower lid and glittery aqua nail polish, Milani advises.

A voila! You are now invincible.


Another one of course from Michelle Phan..

Christmas and Birthday

Many people look forward for the holiday seasons because of their festivities. I myself, is very psyched about the season because my birthday happens to be within the parameter. For those who knows me, I don't celebrate Christmas but due to my birthday I always get presents around this time.

Turning 24 is not something that I look forward to, hence the less festivities on celebrating the big day. Once you hit the 21 benchmark, you feel like you don't want to grow older. There is a reason why the store is called "FOREVER 21".

We talked about this with my friends on several occasions where we thought that our 20s is our prime time of our life. Things happens during this time.
Graduated school, first job, first apartment, first car, marriage, and kids (maybe)?. As the list goes longer, by 24 I pretty much had crossed out most of the items (not the marriage and kid part though). Now what?
Enough about the philosophical theory - this post should be about family, friends, love and presents. From the Secret Santa event that I did with my friends, I got the 5-set Lipglass from MAC, Lady Gaga CD, and a Sony micro memory card for my cell phone.. NOICE. Thanks to Shin and Arthur :)
For my birthday, I got a very nice dinner and a birthday cake from Reza and Sasti. Starbuck gift card from Kazusa. Roses and iTouch from the boy. Amazon gift card and a book from Olivia. I feel loved. Thank you so much guys.

Everyone is wondering what my mom had given me for my birthday. Why? Because she's famous to throw crazy stuff for me.. it's her specialty. So I'll keep you posted on this one because frankly nothing had happened yet.

Next in line is New Years Eve. Big plans? Well, (suck to me be) I still have to work on the 31st (hopefully half day) so, me and the boy decided to pay a visit to Atlantic City that night. We're going to Borgata to spend New Years Eve in the Mixx Club. Several of his buddies are coming as well - the more the merrier. Nothing can beat gambling, awesome food, music and drinks to embrace the New Year..

Anyways, below are some of the pictures surrounding the holiday parties that I had attend in the past weeks. Enjoy the season while it last and I'll see you again next year! Only the best! Cheers!

MAC Studio Moisture Tint

Per my previous post, I mentioned that I had downgraded my daily moisturizer from Clinique to Vichy. I love the consistency of Vichy face cream. The cream sinks right in and it gives me a nice base to apply my MAC Studio Fix. But after I go through my first pot, it didn't give me enough results as it claims to have in the packaging. I didnt see any improvement on my "dull skin". Nothing. So in the past week, I was on another hunt for a good day time moisturizer - preferably with an SPF also. My search ends today, as I purchase a tinted moisturizer from MAC in Medium Dark.

For $29.50 I thought I would give this guy a try. The lady in the MAC store did put this on my face and I kinda like the finish. After the light application, it almost gives me the option to apply my Studio Fix for a heavier coverage or skip that and go straight to my MAC Loose Powder for a lighter coverage.
I'm planning to post another review after 2-3 weeks of use just to see how it react to my skin.

Holiday Party

November and December are my favorite time of the year. Apart of the fact that my birthday is in December - i love the holiday season because it gives people reasons to dressed up for many occasions. This year me and several other friends are planning on a holiday dinner party at Hotel Dupont. So today I was trying to put together an outfit for the occasion.

I thought the color of the dress really represent the rich color of the holiday season even though it doesn't scream red and green but the blue/purple resembles bejeweled color tone that i like to wear for the holidays.

The ankle boots I got from nine west for a steal - $50 - this gives the dress a little flair instead of a normal heels/pumps.
