UWYW#1: Peacocked recreation for Petrilude:

Hello lovelies,

So I'm sure you've heard of the new challenge coming from Petrilude.
It's U.W.Y.W. (Use What You Want) and he's basically doing five of these videos and the idea is to replicate his makeup using any products you have. When I saw his first challenge, I jumped on the video response wagon and created my own. I hope you like..
You should try it too..It's fun!

Let me know if you'd like to see the tutorial.


MAC Haulage with my Cousin, Joanne

My cousin, Joanne from Texas was here on vacay for two weeks.
Thank God for her because I had someone to go shopping with :)
We went to San Francisco: Japan Town, Union Square, Macys, Lush.
We also went to Nordstroms' Anniversary Sale in Valley Fair to obtain their most awaited MAC exclusive collection.

MAC Graphic Garden Collection

Hey lovelies,

I can't believe how impressed I am with this collection.
As most of you already know, Nordstroms always has anniversary sale every year for two weeks.
With this at hand, most of their beauty products are offered as a package on sale or even better, they release limited edition items. Well, guess what? I've joined the bandwagon on this. I went to Nordstroms the first day and purchased most of the collection. I was bummed because I wanted to get the lippies collection too (Baby Bloom) but the location I went to were all out.
Not to fret for those of you who didn't get to purchase the shadow palettes. The colors are very similar from some of the permanent line :) As per packaging, hmmm, it's really cool! The lenticular case shows two graphic pictures of flowers and MAC logo. You should check it out before it's too late. The palettes and brush kits are a great buy!

xoxo,
Claire

MAC 129 DUPE

Hello there!

So, I've been searching for alternative brushes that are more affordable, especially with the bleak economy and all.
Don't get me wrong, I love MAC Brushes but sometimes, it's also good to find dupes to fit our budget.
This brush is almost exactly the same as MAC 129.
It's from EcoTools and I got it at Target for $7.99. The MAC 129 brush costs $34.
I believe they also sell this particular brush at ULTA.

I hope you like yours as well as I like mine.

xoxo,
Claire

Have fun!

Claire

How I put on falsies

Well, hello there!

This video is a raw procedure of how I apply my falsies.
My favorite is MAC #3 because it looks au natural.
My other favorite is the slightly slanted falsies from Makeup Forever, great for an evening look.

When applying your false eyelashes:

1. Prep your real eyelashes, curl it and apply mascara, if preferred.
2. Don't be in hurry! Remember to wait at least 15-20 seconds or until the glue is tacky before application.
3. Measure the length of falsies so it matches the shape, curve and size of your eyes.
4. Don't neglect to apply your eyeliner, gel liner, cream liner, whichever one you use to hide flaws.
(I prefer MAC's blacktrack fluidline)

xoxo,
Claire

***will update and re-upload video***

Britney Spears Concert

Hiya! So, yeah..I'm going off tangent here from the usual beauty and makeup tips :)
I just wanted to share this video taken from Arco Arena. I forced my hubby to come watch it with me..
LOL! Enjoy!

xoxo,
Claire

So, I've been battling with zits, acne, pimples, you name I've had it for years now.
I've also tried many different products and it only works for a month then it's back to my irritated skin!
Also tried microdermabrasion, facials, laser treatment, blue light, chemical peel..the whole nine yards!
But thank God for liquid Vitamin E. Not only do I skip my usual moisturizer (only use it when needed)
but I also use liquid Vit E to prevent my acne from scarring.
My usual regimen is washing my face with a cleanser with 2.0 Saicylic acid and I use a cottan swab, dip it inside the bottle and then dab it on the blemish/acne, once in the morning and before bedtime. The results have been amazing!

Try it and let me know how it works for you.

xoxo,
Claire

First Blog Entry

Hiya Everyone,

Yes, you read the title right..It's my very first entry and I'm quite excited!
I've been prolonging the inevitable and here I am, writing my first blog entry.
So you ask, why choose www.blogger.com? Nothing in particular really..I just googled VLOG and there it was staring at me begging to be used and abused, in a good way of course :)


My Blog will be a variety of everything, ranging from different topics:
  1. Makeup reviews, tutorials, inspirations, etc.
  2. Fashion & Beauty~ I know makeup is within this category but I'd like to keep it separate.
  3. Cooking~ yes, I can cook too :)
  4. Maybe some crafts~ I'm not sure yet.
So please stay tuned.
I still need to maneuver this site and take advantage of all the useful tools.

ps. I'm also currently learning how to post videos on youtube..more on this later.

xoxo,
Mademoiselle Claire
