'Tis the Season to be Jolly.

So Christmas season is the most wonderful time of the year. Almost all of us are busy doing Christmas shopping and attending Christmas parties. Christmas lights are everywhere giving us amusement, carolers every night singing our all time favorite Christmas songs, and of course, the food, every Christmas, food has somehow... an extra touch of something that we couldn't resist and just making us forget about our diet.

This is my 20th time to celebrate Christmas, honestly, it wasn't that over whelming and fun than before or should I say when I was younger, but it was all good for me.  This Christmas, was a time to hangout with my friends who I missed a lot, since we are so busy with our own lives (a.k.a SCHOOL STUFFS). A time to catch up with everything, you know. A time to relax and have fun. A time to meet new friends, and a time to discover myself even more.

Well anyway, I want to share these photos of what I wore on different occasions during this festive season.  

 

This is during our class Christmas party. (December 15 2011) I love anything with lace. It gives me a girly girl feeling. lol. Plus an instant vintage look. :>

Christmas eve to Christmas.I bought the leopard print top a week before Christmas from Pink Manila in Greenhills. It was... well... a love at first sight. <3

New Year's eve. I must say, everyone is currently in love with Oxygen clothing. I wanted to be one of those who welcomed 2012 wearing Oxygen. So yeah. <3

Happy New Year! The first day of 2012. :"> Mom said Purple is one of the colors of the year, so I decided to wear this cutie patutie dress my aunt bought from Old Navy.

Christmas break is over and I'm gonna back to school on Tuesday. A lot of stuffs to do, gonna be busy again, but I promise you guys that I'll try my VERY best to write and share my thoughts through this blog. Also, I have a good feeling about this year. Good vibes for me, Good vibes for everyone. Cheers! Happy 2012. <3 See y'all!

How to Wear Tutu Skirts

I know some girls find it hard to wear a lacey tutu skirt because, well let's just say, it's kinda over the top.So what I did was, I searched for some good-and-wearable-tutu-skirt-outfits from my fave fashion blog site.

10 ways on how to wear this cute tutu skirt.

1. Wear it with laced top.

2. Wear it with striped long sleeves shirt/sweater.

3. Wear it with over-sized/loose shirt... and don't forget the pair of good high-heel boots.

4. Wear it with Laced top and a skinny belt.

5. Wear it with a vintage denim jacket.

6. Wear it with a basic/plain shirt.

7. Wear it with plaid polo... and a cute headband/headdress.

8. Wear it with a sweater/jacket and a pair of  stockings. 

9. Wear it with a Grecian top. 

10. Wear it as a petticoat your short dress. With a pair of cute mary-jane platform.

Makeup : Green Eyes

I'm the type of girl who really loves doing makeup. My friend, Vergil, suggested that I should blog my makeup "skills". So, now I'm finally giving it a try. :)

-

Now, lets put some GREEN EYE...SHADOW.

NOTE: Don't forget to wash your face before doing your makeup.

Concealer is a friend. You must conceal every dark spots, pimples and under eye.

Don't worry if you get uneven skin tone after concealing. Blending will be the key to get rid of those uneven tones.

This brush will help you blending. (if you're using a matte concealer, you may use a liquid foundation with the same tone for easy blending.) I won't suggest that you use a cosmetic sponge to blend. It's easy if you do the blending with a brush for a fine texture.

NOTE: Your concealer and/or liquid foundation should be 1 or a half tone lighter than your skin tone.

Personally, I love using this L'oreal True Match Mineral Foundation.

Next is you have to pat some mineral foundation to have a finer texture. You may use a darker (than your concealer) or same tone foundation.In my case, I used a darker tone.

Brush: essence of | beauty

Use the Powder Brush to blend.

Now, put a little Baby Powder on your T zone, again use the Powder Brush to blend. This will give you a natural highlight.

Eyeshadow: Elianto & Dollface Cosmetics

Now, choose your Green color shade. Choose three shades, One must be lighter or darker than the other and other one a medium shade. Also choose a neutral or a medium color.

Brush: Estee Lauder

The lighter shade is your base. Put the lighter shade all over your eye lid and brow bone. Then put the darker shade onto your lower lid. Put a medium color onto the crease to contour. (In this case, I used a soft brown color for the medium)

 

 To have a more dramatic eye shadow color, blend the medium shade of green to the darker shade. 

Pencil Eyeliner: Estee Lauder

Use a Black Pencil eyeliner to give emphasis to your eyes. Put this onto your lower waterline and upper lash line.

Brush: essence of | beauty

Also, a Dark Brown Eyeliner or Eye shadow to draw your eyebrows. This Eyeliner Brush will be your best friend in doing your brows.

Now you can see clearer contoured part (which is the crease) of the eye, the highlighted part, and the medium to dark part. You can also make use the darker shade as a liner on your lower lash line.

Mascara: Estee Lauder

Put a mascara.

Use a Coral shade of Blush under your cheekbones to contour.

Bronzer: E.L.F (Eyes Lips Face)

And use a Bronzer on your cheekbones to highlight.

Lipstick: Cover Girl

Lastly, color your lips. It's better if you choose a pink or natural lip color.

VIOLA! And your done. :)
