Mystique Shutterbug: FACES

At Bro's Brew.

At Pancake House Abreeza Branch.

At M-Rose Restobar.

Wearing my Anchor Blue paisley top.

At Ate Jael's Appartment.

At Kalimudan Student Center.

At our school's photography exhibit.

Aside from those absurd photos of me, I'll also be dishing out some random thoughts. My mind's still not in order, so pardon me for my "randomness". Here are the things that's on my mind as of the moment:

It's Pretty Little Liars Halloween Episode today. I wanna watch! I've seen their outfits, and I love that of Alison, Emily and Spencer. Who would you want to dress like?

I'm currently downloading the first & second episode of Zooey Deschanel's New Girl. I wanna give it a try. My boyfriend says it's a fun series.

I want to collect a lot of plume and peacock feather dangles. I'll be spoiling myself with those eye candies this holiday when I have money.

I hate my inferiority complex. It's one of the things that make my life a little too difficult to deal with. I hope I could gain confidence.

If I feel that I've given too much of my attention to something or someone, that's the time when I think I have to lie low. Like, bye for now.

I've been keeping my hair the same way, and it's weighing me down. So, I thought of considering a new 'do. What style can you suggest girls?

 I'm so happy that I'm now almost free from all those academic pressures. All I have to think about is my THESIS! I hope it gets approved.

It seems like our fridge never cease to have cakes. I can't wait for Mom to get into pastry biz, because her creations just keep getting better. Avail of it, yes?

I've been having music binge to suit myself after the hell-ish semester I got, and some of the songs I've been listening to the most are the following...

Flaunt It - Girls Love Shoes

Try - Zach Berkman

Hi, Hi, Hi - Shelly Fraley

3 Libras - A Perfect Circle

Let Me In - Evolove

Turn Our Eyes Away - Trent Dabbs

Are You On Your Way Out? - Middle Class Rut

Hawk Eyes - The Kicks

Closer - Jaylene Johnson

Amazed - MoZella

I'll be saving some songs for my Sonic Boom music blog series. Mozella's Amazed and Can't Stop really make me feel so dreamy and mushy, like I'm in a beautiful place with the man I'm going to marry. These songs are just so romantic. Listen to it and be... amazed!

Child’s Play: BYG Belle

Makeup by Jael Magbanua

I won’t discuss about my makeup in details anymore, because I’m not knowledgeable about the process of getting that look. Forgive me for my ignorance about cosmetics and how to apply it. I hope you don’t mind. I’m quite sure you know better than I do. LOL!

What I Wore:

Lace Top: Ozoc (Japanese Brand)

Inner Tank: Secret Possessions

Skirt: Gaisano Mall Dep’t Store

Bag: Secosana

Flats: Chelsea

Connector Rings & Hoops: Thrifted

Bangles: borrowed from Ali Altizo

Wonder what’s BYG? It’s an acronym for Black, Yellow and Gray. I would make use of the Black-and-Yellow theme, except that my black shoes was borrowed by my sister for her thesis defense that day, and I don’t want to use my black boots either. My style for today’s Child’s Play is something that can somehow give reverence to the dark angel adorned in the most romantic of fabrics – LACE. This isn’t a gothic drama, by the way. I’ll be setting aside that Ange Sombre motif for our next fashion and makeup shoot.

And oh… just a brief history about that outfit. I thank God for letting my creative juices out when I need it the most. Why, because that bow lace top is actually my first DIY creation. That chiffon ribbon is from another garment, but I removed it because I felt like I want to embellish it to a top that deserves that cute detail more. How do you like it, folks? Now about my mustard yellow skirt, I’ve had it in my wardrobe for five years already. I got it way back senior high. It’s the first fashion item I bought for myself.

Pretty Little Liar Wannabes

L-R: Francis, Ali, me and Jael.

This is one of my favorite shots.

With Jaimie who did Jael and Francis' make up.

I wish I didn't tilt my head like that.

We look like Showgirls.

I love this a lot! It looks vogue-ish.

The pretty Jael. Check her out in Cosmopolite.

The sultry Francis. Check her out in Cosmopolite.

The alluring Ali. Check her out in Cosmopolite.

Make Up: Jael Magbanua and Jaimie Cabrera

Photos Taken by: Ourselves

Style: Ourselves

We had a photo shoot last Wednesday to practice Jael's make up skills with the help of her "mentor" Jaimie, whom I heard took up Fine Arts in UP Diliman before transferring here in UP Mindanao to study Communication Arts. Nice meeting you, dear! I would love to feature you in one of my blog series soon. 

Anyway, that day was also our skirt day as you can see. Francis pulled off a rockstar vibe and Ali had a corporate slutty look. I'm not sure about my theme though. For me, Jael was the best dressed among the four of us. She looks like a walking doll, especially with her Fedora that I want to steal! I love it big time.

Again, this is something very short. Much love!

Mystique Shutterbug: Tangerine

Add caption

This is the second leg of our make up session last week, September 8, 2011.

Ate Jael used the following materials:

Etude House BB Cream (Hers)

Sunkissed Brown Eye Shadow (Mine)

Sunkissed White Eye Shadow (Mine)

Canteloupe Avon Lipstick (Mine)

Maybelline Mineral Powder (Hers)
Orange Blush On (Hers)

Lucky Brand Lucky You Powder (Mine)

This make up is something that I can pull off daily without looking like a celebrity wannabe. It's not too obvious because of the nudy effect of tangerine. I was glad to hear from my schoolmates though that I looked blooming with that look. Thanks again to my pretty Make-up Artist.

Check out for the third leg which we conducted yesterday.

Much love!
