90s fashion

I judged a beauty pageant last weekend and this is what I wore. I was very hesitant to push through because I was in the healing stage of my chicken pox (I know, right? At this age! Ugh), and I was embarrassed to step out of the house. But then mom kept nagging me so I decided to just dress up in lengthy clothes to hide my spots and put on makeup to conceal my dotted face. Haha. Best decision ever!!! It's my first time to be actually doing this and I had fun. I had no idea judging could be a bit crucial since I already have a favorite from the first ramp. I couldn't help playing favorites but good thing my co-judge helped me. I was also the youngest in a judge of three. All of which are professionals. Hukks.

What I wore: Topshop hat; Allamode cropped top; SM skirt; Parisian heels; Clutch from MNL; necklace from Y.R.Y.S

My #fotd! (Face of the day) Full coverage make-up, no contacts

I actually did my own make-up! Of course I had to look presentable on stage because I'd be judging a BEAUTY pageant. It's my first time so I got really nervous. I'm also quite proud of how the results. I was in the healing stage of my chicken pox when I was asked to do this. I did a full coverage make up to cover up some spots on my face. Luckily, I only got two small spots in my arms and two medium spots on my thighs, nothing much to hide.

~0~

Here are the brands I used on my face: MAC Studio Finish as my base; MAC lipstick in Rebel; Nichido Green Foundation (to hide red spots); Kokoryo water-based foundation to finish the coverage; Nichido loose powder; ELF bronzer; Estee Lauder blush; Urban Decay Naked 2 for my eye-shadow and nose line; In2It eyebrow kit; Maybelline Rocket mascara; Prestige liquid eyeliner and a Japanese fake lashes.

Cam whoring! It was love at first sight when I first saw this hat on Topshop. I almost never took it off every single time we window shop there. I got it from the boo on our anniversary last February 13. I'm sooooo happyyy. Thank you, love!

Of course I had to do a photo shoot with the bouquet of roses I got on Valentines!

I know I'm ready when my cheek is all contoured. Haha.

I chose this ensemble because its simple and I feel professional. Haha the hat brings out all the action. Without it, this look would just be a boring, working outfit-ish.

I feel like a more colorful version of Morticia Addams. Haha

I love this shade of MAC lipstick, Rebel! I'm not a lipstick/lipbalm/lipgloss person. I hate having something on my lips because I ALWAYS end up licking it and making it look all messy. I only put it on for special occasions or photoshoots. This shade is different. I wanna wear it everyday, but my mom said I look goth in it. Haha, yes mom, that's the whole point. Though it gets a bit dry on my lips after a couple of hours, I just apply a Maybeline lipbalm. Which I also never use lol.

Here's a snap of me awarding the winners. Haha.

That's about it! Will blog more soon!

Thank you guys for visiting!

Black Valentines. Always.

All black everything, again.

Hey guys! Long time no post, as usual. So sorry if I keep on backlogging. My life's been really busy lately huuu. Anyway, decided to post something today and I have no idea what to talk about so I'll just post my favorite quotes by Oprah Winfrey. I actually grew up watching most of her shows because mum was a big fan. Here are a few love advice she said since its LOVE month! And yes, I wouldn't mind wearing black on Valentines Day! Haha

"Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be. Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy. If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends". A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend."

"Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better. The only person you can control in a relationship is you. Avoid men who have a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently? Always have your own set of friends separate from his. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up. Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later."

"You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within. Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are. Even if he has has more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less."

"Never let a man define who you are. Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you. A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you."

And that's about it! I find myself getting inspired by her knowledge especially when it comes to relationships. We all know how she was abused in her younger years. I love the way she talks about dealing with bullshit and how it made her stronger. I hope you guys got as inspired as I was with her. Hail Queen Oprah!
