☼ Summer Make Up Look : Touch of Tortoise ☼

☼ Touch of Tortoise ☼ 

Hello, Everyone! How are you all doing? :-) Today, I've come up with a cute and exciting make up look ( summer inspired of course! ) to pair with the weather! I took my inspiration with the hues of the ocean and skies of the summer season. Keeping it simple and light like a real dalagang pilipina! Let's get on to the make up look!

I've already had a head start and went ahead to put my foundation and brows ( comment down below if you guys want to see a foundation and or brow routine ) So I first applied my eyelid primer, this step is totally optional. Basically it's for our eyeshadows to stay on place for the rest of the day. Diba?para you're still bongga Till later! :-) Then I went ahead and used my eyeshadow from etude house called ; caramel latte  

I applied this lightly on my crease just to deepen it a little bit with a big fluffy blending brush and developed the colour as to my liking. 

Next, I took a basic white eyeshadow, the one I used is from benefit cosmetics just to add a wash of colour and for the tortoise to pop more later 

I applied this with dabbing motions on my lid with a flat shader brush 

And now for the fun stuff. I took my maybelline color tatto in : tenacious teal

I used my color tattoo as an eyeliner and I used an angled eyeliner brush to put my eyeliner on and had a cat eye because if you know me Winged Eyeliner cannot be avoided with any of my make up looks. I'm literally the QUEEN of EYELINERS ♕

And so lastly for the lips, I went ahead and did a little spin to it so for my lips I applied this cute nude/coral lipstick from maybelline in NU37 😘 

I just swiped one layer of of this lipstick 

Next, I blotted it off with a tissue 

Now since it's summer I wanted to make my lips cute and glowy so I decided to use my etude house eyeshadow in shimmering rose gold scarf 

I applied this on the middle of my lips to fake that "Kylier Jenner Lip" that as we all know is the trend right now 

And there you have it, everyone. My completed " ☼ Touch of Tortoise ☼ " Summer make up look! I hope you all enjoyed reading my blog today.

☼ Brunette To Blonde ☼

Hello, Everyone! Guess who's back? :-) YAAASSS! Yabbie here! So Today, I thought It would be nice for me to finally get back to blogging, yes I know it's been such a long time and there's a ton of things that happened but with no further adieu here goes this blogpost!!!

☼ Brunette To Blonde ☼ 

 Before : Brunette 

After : PLATINUM  ϟ BLONDE 

Alright, First of all. WHAAAAT?! :O you guys were probably thinking "yooooo yabbie/yabsters/AJ whut the heeeeyl u did to yowww hair gurl?!" Okay, you guys :)) I get it it's a bit out there! ( lol not really more like alot... like alot out there ) But to give it justice, it's summer! ☼ No more Rules, No More school! ✌ I've been trying to channel my inner (weirdo) self and I thought that having a change to my appearance would make me legit the happiest kid alive! :-) aaaand so that's how I got to being platinum blonde! 

 So, what gives? Why did I decide to go platinum blonde? not regular taylor swift blonde? why did I choose the life of being a real live elsa and "let it go", you ask? it all started with my hero aka inspiration : AMY PHAM  

She slays and serves as an inspiration not only to me but also with many more people out there, she is one of my spirit animals ♕ she's a DJ/HOST/ACTRESS/MODEL and most importantly she's one of the kindest, down to earth people ever! Her courage to go blonde pushed me to be brave enough to take the risk and leap of faith :-) I've had my fair share of cons growing up from a very conservative community and rocking this hair style means to be the head turner everywhere! Lots of judgements and Criticism you know they're going to talk about, I've learned to brush that off because having to go blonde means I've won over anyone who thinks i'm crazy for expressing myself #holla ✌ #fierce #SLAAAY 

However, as anticipated "BEAUTY IS PAIN" or in tagalog "TIIS GANDA, TEH!" would you guys believe it actually took me 10 hours at the salon to go from "☼ Brunette To Blonde ☼" crazy, isn't it? Specially if you're someone like me who loves fast food and has Zero patience when it comes to things. Although, I have to say it really was worth it! 

THE PROCESS : 

‣ 9am : I woke up lykk diss 

- looked myself at the mirror and thought "this is the last time i'm gonna see myself with brown hair" *prayed to the lord for it not to get too damaged and talked to my hair for it not to get ""tampo"" hehe" 

- took a shower, got dressed and boom we're off to the salon! 

‣ 10:30 am : 

- My driver ( kuya gerry) Dropped me off infront of bread talk at glorietta 4 

- went to mochi cafe to get my daily dose of *matcha cafe* *take a big sigh and says to self "lezzz do this" 

‣ 11:00 am : 

- I finally walked to the bench fix salon, located at glorietta 3 infront of the bench skin expert ( where I usually get my facials ) and got to talk to my hair stylist and sold my soul to the heaven wishing I would rock being a blonde! 

They started off by sectioning my hair for an easy and even application of bleach, they applied the first layer of bleach from the bottom part up to the crown because they say that the bleach tends to develop slower in those areas.  After about 45 mins, there was a bit of change but not as close to what we wanted we had to add another layer of  bleach it took about 1 hour and 30 mins till they decided we'd have to wrap my hair and put it under a steamer and so they did that after 45 mins to an hour they let it cool for 5 mins rinsed - blow dried - bleach my hair once more this time they did the exact same process but it took longer instead of 45 mins it took about an hour and a half  then they did it for the last time for it to get to the colour we wanted or as my hair stylist calls it "pale yellow" which looks something like this.... 

( yabbie looking like some kinda anime lol) 

But the pain or the "tiis ganda!" moment was not yet over! we still had to put a layer of hair colour to achieve the platinum blonde! 

( that's not my arms ok but we picked the middle shade ) 

And so it took an extra 1 hour to get going from "pale yellow-blonde" to "platinum blonde" it took me so long to sit on the chair, rinse my hair, then blow dry it again I was hungry and tried and impatient luckily My bestfriend Mikee  went to the salon and brought me McDo thanks, bhie!!! 

( actual mikee appreciation tweet )

She was the first person to see my hair, I remember group chatting with the queens ♕ ( mikee, inah and jen )(shout out to my bffs hollaa gurls) not telling ANYONE and I mean not even my closest friends and family ( except for anhya ) about my new hair! when I got home my yaya even went up to me and pulled my hair cause she thought It was a wig ._. 

After I got my hair Platinum blonde my hair stylist, then suggested for me to get a hair treatment ( I forgot what it's called sorry ) but then it took another 30 mins for my hair to soak in all the nutrients it had to drink up because let's face it my hair got pretty damaged from all the chemicals 

( Impatient yabbie waiting for the day to get over with ) 

One last push till we finally get this done! The last and finally step was to dry and style my hair! 

And that, everyone, is how I went from "☼ Brunette To Blonde ☼" Alright,  that was one long blogpost I had to write enough for now.
