Swatch

This is a late post again due to the same reason: school.

Around two weeks ago, I went to MOA with a friend to pick up some stuff for a makeup gig. I also ordered some palettes from LuLu Makeup the same week. My gig was very successful and I want to thank my friend and co-makeup artist, Beny Reginaldo for helping me out! :) With that, I have already tested out these products and have reviewed them too but I'm going to save that for another post to give a more in depth review. Watch out for it. :) For now I'm just going to show you guys the products I got.  Aside from the Lulu Palettes, all of these are from Watson's.

I currently have Lulu's Paris Lip Palette, Morocco Palette, and Miami Palette. More to come! :)

 Foundation Brush from E.l.f.. My mom lost my Elianto foundation brush so I had to buy another one.

and lastly, Ever Bilena Compact Powder Refill. It's just a very sheer powder, perfect for finishing and touch ups.

Hope you enjoyed reading this!

With Char and Say at Mexicali. I finally met them :)

Meeting Say in person was an exciting experience since I got used to watching her online. :)

Say was just as pretty in person as she was in her pictures and videos :)

Things to look out for:

Morocco Palette by Lulu Makeup

Skin Hour's Prima Set

Earlier this morning, I woke up crying because of a very bad dream. The scariest dream I've had this week.. I went downstairs and talked to my mom about it. After feeling okay, I went upstairs again to my room and slept.. I woke up a few hours later.. ate my breakfast, opened my laptop, checked my YT account and the next thing I know, I was screaming my lungs out!

 I. WON. PYONGHWAA'S. GYARU. MAKE UP. CONTEST.

Christina announcing the winner and the 5 shoutouts :) She's so cute!! Especially when she pronounced my username! So adorable :)

Christina's message! This is the first thing I saw that made me scream :)))))

My video now on her channel :) Weee :)

I still can't believe this. I will not go to school today just to fully absorb it. (hihihihi)

This was my first make up tutorial! This was also my first time winning something on YouTube! I always enter contests whenever I have the chance but now, I am just so happy! :) I remember seeing Pyonghwaa's contest 2 weeks ago.. I told myself "I always wanted to try Japanese Gyaru Makeup, now is the time to give it a try.. Testing lang." All for the sake of trying out the look and finally uploading my own tutorial on YouTube.

I was always a fan of beauty gurus on YT. There's Michelle Phan, MissChievous, JLovesMac and all the other popular gurus. But honestly, the gurus who inspire me the most aren't the popular ones with millions of subscribers but rather the Filipina gurus like Say Artillero, COLORismyweapon, maricarljanah, pinkiericegurl, thebestsoylatteandme, Asianbeautyx89 etc. :) I really like how they use and support local cosmetic brands and drugstore products.They were my inspiration. :)

It was because of them that I told myself "There's nothing to lose. If I win, then great, my video will be up in Pyonghwaa's makeup channel for a week (more exposure means more subscribers) not to mention the pair of circle lenses. But if I don't win, I still get to record that makeup tutorial I've been wanting to do for a long time now!" Win-win.

This is so awesome and unbelievably true! Thank you sooo much, Christina! :)

I would like to take time to thank everyone who supported me in my first ever makeup tutorial! I think all these happened because of you guys :) I would also like to thank my fellow Pinay gurus who encouraged me to make videos even before this contest! I guess this is just the beginning.. I haven't achieved anything yet but I want to remember this day to serve as an inspiration to keep doing what I love and also to serve as a reminder to always keep my feet on the ground. :)

I guess this is it for now, expect more makeup tutorials from me! This is for you guys! Love yah :) :*

Hey girls! I finally had the courage upload a makeup tutorial on my YouTube channel! It's actually a video response for Pyonghwaa's Gyaru Look makeup contest, so basically it's an entry tutorial. Pyonghwaa wasn't actually asking for a tutorial, a video look would be fine but I thought recording the whole look would be more exciting :) So I finally was able to record and upload one on Youtube! :D

I hope you guys find time to check it out! It's a Neutral Japanese Gyaru Makeup look and its available in HD viewing! :D Anyhooo here are the final pictures of the look:









Also, this is my first time doing a gyaru look sooo feel free to comment! And if you have any requests, I'll try my best to make it.  I hope you like it!! Till next! :)


PS: Noticed I changed my blog name from "Pinkkberry" to "Beauty Thoughts"? Wala lang, I realized It's not in any way related to makeup, except it sounds girly (which I liked) Haha. I find the blog name "Beauty Thoughts" more appropriate :) Thats all! Bye! :)
