FOTD: My Go-To Look

It's the weekend and only 10 days to go before Christmas! I can't believe time is going by so fast and I can hardly catch up. These days I find myself having less time in the morning to prep since I usually have to zip out of the house asap. My vanity, though, does not allow me to leave the house unmade up especially during work days.

Presenting my go-to look which does not take me forever but allows me to look polished for the day. :)

And presenting my weapons of choice...

FACE BASE:

• Max Factor CC Cream in Medium (ranks next to my Happy Skin Second Skin Creme!)
• Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics: Skin Conceal
• Ben Nye Cover All-Wheel (for effective concealing of dark undereye circles)
• Ben Nye Luxury Powder in Buff (not in photo)

EYES:

• Etude House Drawing Eye Brow
• MAC Fluidline Brow GelCreme in Dirty Blonde
• MAC Girl Boy Brow Set
• Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara
• Etude House Bling Eye Stick (to brighten my inner undereye area)

CHEEKS:

• MAC Bronzing Powder
• MAC Mineralize Blush in Dainty

LIPS:

• Snoe Beso Balm (my ultimate fave lip balm!)
• Happy Skin Shut Up and Kiss Me moisturizing lippie

TO FINISH:

• Ben Nye Neutral Set Colorless Face Powder (not in photo)
• MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium Plus (to subtly highlight for a healthy glow!)

What's your everyday, go-to look? :)

My Beauty Ba-Six: Part 2

In my previous post, I wrote about My Beauty Ba-Six or what I call my magic six - the basic stuff that I need for an effortlessly polished look. Perfect for everyday or for situations when you still want to look nice but is simply pressed for time.

  Here's the continuation of my short reviews as promised. :) Click for the jump!

My Beauty Ba-Six: Part 1

Six products for a simple and easy everyday routine. Look effortlessly polished with the following without spending a heck of a time in front of the dresser. Presenting my magic six....

1. Foundation (can be replaced with tinted moisturizer or BB cream)

2. Concealer (I do use separate concealers for blemishes and undereye circles)

3. Powder

4. Eyebrow Pencil (malimutan na daw ang lahat, wag lang ang kilay. LOL)

5. Blush

6. Lip balm + color

And my personal recommendations for the magic six? Ta-da!

Why I love these products after the break.
