Dinner in Shibuya

So hubby was introduced to a fellow grad student, G., who is on her way to Taiwan for the year but is stopping by Japan for the summer. She invited us and another of hubby's classmates, S. and her boyfriend M. to dinner in Shibuya with her and her friends A. and B. So despite it being sooooo hot out and I wasn't too thrill to be stuffed into a train for the ride uptown, we went out anyway because we were told G. had lived in Taiwan before and are going back next month. Since we're heading to Taiwan next, why not meet someone with experience and hear all about it?

I wore this for the night, and yes, the picture was taken right outside the door of our new apartment on the 2nd floor of the same building. Thank goodness it's twice as big as our last apartment, so we finally got some room to stretch our legs. And since we're on the 2nd floor now, we've got tons of natural light too, versus the cold, damp, and dark corner that was our last apartment. Ick. Wouldn't live there again even if the landlord paid us to!

Spring FOTN

-GASP!- I am wearing blue eye shadows!!! Although for some reason the colors doesn't really show up in the pictures. May be it's the quality of the smaller ones I uploaded of something...But I promise I'm wearing blue. Urgh, hate my hair though. I just washed them and they are pointing wherever they pleased. I swear my hair has a mind of its own.

Going out with 3 of my neighbors tonight to try a new Thai place. After a couple of years or so living in the same apartment complex, we made friends. Every month, we go out to dinner at an ethnic place to try new things. Erh...well, Thai food is hardly new, but whatever. Did I mention I LOVE Thai food? I do.

A FOTN for July 4th Weekend!

A very early July 4th weekend, I might add, and let's just say this coming long weekend is most welcomed! Bleh.

And old friend from hubby's high school days lives about 45 mins away from us, and tonight he came down for dinner with his girlfriend. We went out for Chinese and had a feast! And here I am a few hours later already hungry again...



Face:
- Amazing Cosmetics Powderset (t-zones only)
- Aube Blossom Veil Powder
- Laneige Snow Bloom Blusher, the pinks

Eyes:
- T'estimo Layered Impact Eyes palette #5 Purple

Lips:
- Canmake Lip Essence #3 Milky Pink
- MAC Fafi Glaze Lipstick Flash-n-Dash


The finished product - tahdah!!! Well, not that you can see much, as always. The lighting is so bad too, made me look all pissy even though I was in a good mood, serious! Light was still out at the time, but it was actually 8 PM!

FOTN

Another face of the night :D Might as well since every time I actually wear some makeup it's for a night out anyway. I don't wear makeup to work, and on the weekends I do lazy routines, so it doesn't count.

Hubby and I went to a vegetarian Asian fusion place called Zen Palate. The appetizers were amazing, but the dinner entrees fell a little short. Next time we're back we'll try the cafe menu (served all day) instead.

Anyways, had a really long day at work, dealing with idiot-incompetents constantly over the phone for 8 hours. I was ready to kill by the time I get home. If I looked pissy in the first picture, I was. As always, my makeup didn't really show up in the pictures. Also, the lighting was bad so my eye makeup looked a bit uneven. And I don't wear foundation, fill in my brows, none of that fussy stuff. Blah.



Face:
- Estee Lauder Lucidity Powder in Transparent (t-zones only, I don't wear foundation)
- Stila Color Push-up in Pink Flash (will review soon)
- Canmake Cheek & Highlight 03 Sunny Orange (will review soon)

Eyes:
- The Body Shop Shimmer Cubes Palette 12 (will review soon)

Lips:
- Estee Lauder High Gloss in Berry (will review soon)



Finally, a (very fake) smile. Hubby was very patient taking the pictures. Thanks hunney! <3

First FOTD Ever!

This is a special post for my friend, miss Muse, and it's my first FOTD ever! Well, actually, it's more of a face of the night, but whatever. Hubby and I were going out to dinner with a colleague of his and his wife. We were going to have dinner at a decent Japanese place called Josho with pretty authentic food, out in the middle of nowhere in Somerset. Life's like a box of chocolate.

Anyway, here it is. Not much makeup that you can tell, really. I'm very light-handed with application and I prefer my makeup sheer. The picture was a bit tough to take because my head kept falling onto the side and I literally had to hold it up by the scalp... Sheesh! Stay still, would 'ya?



Face:
- Estee Lauder Lucidity Powder in Transparent (t-zones only)
- Stila Color Push-ups in Fuchsia Flash (I swear I put some on!)
- Canmake Highlighter

Eyes:
- Canmake Glow Twin Colors 03 Camel Pink
- T'estimo Color Eye DB-12 (will review this one plus several newer colors later, see a previous post with older colors)

Lips:
- Stila It Gloss BCA Trio - Inspiring (will review later too)



Anyway, the finished product, nicely propped. All thanks to hubby for taking the photos because I still haven't gotten my hands on a camera stand.
