Collar Inspired

So, I viewed this video just last week, I find it so amazing how certain people can be so creative in so many different ways! :-) I actually find her so classy and all so dolled up! Also, collars are sooooo in right now! :-) Luckily, we went to a thrift store a day after and my oh my I found a perfect collar! :-) Here it is! :-)

The jacket itself is actually a cute thing already, but I didn't hesitate to cut the collar off just because the collar itself is even prettier when paired to any outfit! :-) I also bought a lace top which came from the thrift store, too! (Which is btw, also perfect for the collar) :-)

I bought this top cause I find it simple yet classy.. It's also perfect for our weather nowadays.. :-) So, I tried to mimic what's in the video and here's the outcome.. :-)

 

And yes, as simple as that! :-) I didn't have to make any designs through it, trying to keep it simple but with a touch of class. :-) Oh, and i'll SURELY post a photo wearing this soon! :-)

I also made another collar, this time I put some stones in it. :-)

I made this blog to let you know that anyone can be creative, you just have to try! :-) You don't need too much expensive stuffs, all you need is a working mind and you can pull out almost anything and everything! :-)

Hope it helps!


Love, Germaine

Going TOMATOX

Hello, lovely dolls! I just discovered a new skin care that will SURELY make you go loco! It's called TOMATOX by Tonly Moly :-) I bought the Toner, Moisturizer, and the Brightening Mask :-) Results will be seen right after and I swear, you'll surely love it! :-) My Sister and my Mum also purchased it. If you wanna achieve bright and glowing skin, this is the solution! I wanna share this to everyone cause I also wanna help, too! Why don't you give it a try! Worth the money! :-)

BUT...

Warning!!!

Before using their TONER and MOISTURIZER, be SURE to TEST it on your skin first.. Some may have an ALLERGIC REACTION to it. As for my case, after a couple of days, REDNESS and ITCHING occurred in some parts of my face.. I tried to get rid of some of the other products that I used but still it was there.. So, I asked my sister, she told me maybe because of the TONER and MOISTURIZER, advised to test it at the back of my wrist (THE SKIN AT THE BACK OF YOUR WRIST IS THE SAME AS THE FACE).. The day after that, I really saw some redness. Pfffft! My bad! Not meant for me at all! So, I stopped using it but I continued using the MASSAGE PACK.. I ABSOLUTELY LIKE IT. :-) But, my Mom and Sis continues to use it (toner and moisturizer) up to now..

I added this information JUST TO WARN YOU ALL before you invest into some products.. Some may like it, some may don't. It actually DEPENDS. Just be sure to know your product first. :-)

Step by step

I FINALLY enrolled myself to a make up tutorial class! Imagine that? Thank God for having a LOVING AND SUPPORTIVE PARENTS!!! I got so giddy and giggly a week before our class because of too much excitement. Good thing my friend, Marianne Te, asked me to join her because for a fact that I was also waiting for an invitation that would lead me there, maybe because I'm this lazy to find me one. :-) It was a 3 day class that starts from 9am-4pm which is located in Juna Subdivision, a fashion school named FIDA. Our teacher, Mr. Archie Tolentino, which happens to be the Chief Make Up Artist of Maybelline, taught us really well when it comes to  the BASIC FACTS that we have to know in make up. Definitely a THUMBS UP! I know now well and will eventually practice more and more JUST BECAUSE.. :-) But then, you have to also put in mind that you first have to INVEST on a PROPER SKIN CARE before indulging yourself into lots of make up. Having a great skin is MORE IMPORTANT before anything else, remember that. :-) So here, I posted some of my photos for you to see. :-)

Meet my CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION! I'm so happy that I get to learn so many things from this workshop! :-)

One Random Afternoon

Used the timer.. As usual :-)

My all-time fave sunnies! (which my boyfriend hates, by the way) :-))

Hmmmm.. :-)

Here I go again with my RED LIPPIE.. And say hello to my newest love, Bib Necklace! :-)

Luscious Red

Believe it or not, I just started liking/using lipstick consistently just last June 2011. Ever since then, I started liking it like CRAZZZZY! I buy different kinds of it whenever I get the chance to. :-P But now, I am currently addicted to RED, which is specifically the MATTE kind because it stays LONGER. :-)

But really, why do women wear red lipstick? :-) I googled it and here are some of the answers:

1.) Because red is a color that makes women more sensual, energetic, sexy, and more bolder.
2.) Because it grabs mens attention. And well lips make u think of kissing, kissing of touching, and touching of love.

3.) Because red lipsticks are associated with passion, seduction, and flamboyance. Most women wear red lipstick because nothing catches attention like it. However, it makes a bold statement and you need to wear it with confidence. Also, make sure that it goes with the outfit you pick or the result can be disastrous. :-)

Well, I have here some options that I personally would wanna let you try (just in case):

1.) SHISEIDO
2.) MAC
3.) REVLON
4.) MAYBELLINE

I am currently using Shiseido.. I love it sooooo much i wanna die!!! It really makes you feel confident and would definitely bring out the woman in you! :-)

Let's all stay beautiful and glamorous, girls!!! <3 Let those men DROOL LIKE CRAZY!!! :-)))
