Friday Morning Randoms

Urban outfitter racer back&bra top. Free people jeans.
As Requested Skin Care Routine

Day
I recieved quite a few questions asking which line I used from Shiseido. I use the Benefiance line its for Older Women, but its what works best for my very dry skin.

Shiseido Benefiance Extra Creamy Cleansing Foam. Retails for $35 (Best Creamy Non-Drying face wash out there)

Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Resist24 balancing softener enriched, 300ml retails for $72. But the one above is the travel size.

Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Resist24 Daytime Protective Emulsion SPF15 retails for $52

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion for Face&Body SPF 60 (Paranoid? No Precatuios Yes ^_^) retails for $39.

Night

Shiseido Benefiance Extra Creamy Cleansing Foam. Retails for $35 (Best Creamy Non-Drying face wash out there)

Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Resist24 balancing softener enriched, 300ml retails for $72. But the one above is the travel size, since I've run out of my usual 10 oz bottle.

Shiseido Benefiance NutriPerfect night cream retails for $92. I switch over with this & Bio-Performance Advanced Super Revitalizer Cream which also retails fro $92.

I know I don't have an eye cream. I'm so lazy to use it the last one I used was from the Kiehl's Creamy eye cream with Avocado. Not bad I'd say & only $27.

Current Everyday Makeup Routine.

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion SPF 60

Nars Primer with SPF 20. I've tried a lot of primers Smashbox, MakeUpForever to name a few but this by far, is the best for my skin. It keeps my makeup on all day. Retails for $33.

Chanel Tient Innocence in Gentle Ivory SPF 12. Lately I've gotten paler & since I gave my Laura Mercier to Mom, I've been using my Tient Innocence $47 in Gentle Ivory, on the regular. It does what it says gives you radiant glow with medium coverage & mostly it gives you the Naturale Look! Love it. On nights out I still use either my Chanel Vita'lumeire or Pro'lumiere in Shell retails for $54. All three are my HG, when it comes to foundation.

Whats in my makeup bag.

Chanel Poudre Universelle Compacte in 30 Naturel. $45

Shiseido Ultimate sun protection cream for face Spf 55. Travel size $20

Nars Multiple Duo: Orgasm/Southbeach in the creamy kind. $45. Southbeach as a bronzer & orgasm as highlighter.

MAC mineralize blush in Warm Soul. $22. I think it works with any skin & also works as a highlighter.

MAC Flase Lashes mascara $18. I have pretty decent lashes in length, but no volume, so this works great for me in that department.

Picture as requested. Below no Falsies with 3 coats of mascara. Buildable with Zero Clumping A++.

MAC tinted lip conditioner SPF15 Gentle Coral. Perfect for that slighty tinted lips & best of all has SPF!! retails for $14.50 (I Love MAC cosmetics they are soo gooood&affordable)

Chanel Lip Gloss in 257 my cutie got me these I think they were limited ed, not sure but its the preetiest peachy pink with gold shimmer! Luurrrrrvvvvveee it!!

Makeup Forever HD Kabuki brush $39 best kabuki out there! Comes with a bag which i can't seem to find for the picture lol!

When it comes to purchasing products for the face, skin or hair, my Mum's always advised me to go for the best. She says you can buy clothing&shoes on sale cause those can be disposed off but when it comes to your face its permanent, so you don't pinch the $$. Amen

What she meant is you buy what works for you the best, be it foundation from the Bobbi Brown counter in Bloomingdales or Maybelline from Rite aid, thats money well spend.

I Call it The Spiked&Nailed

Yes I'm finally done with these my Most Coveted DIY!!! As you all know, in one of my previous post Wanted, I had posted photographs of the Burberry Prorsum Jacket. Well this is my Tamer & Of Course more affordable version of it.

Time spend: Around 3 weeks. Seriously its tedious work, measurements, holes & make shift tools, each and every piece is screwed on Not Glued in! I did not have any shoulder pads handy, so I cut an old bra & used it instead. Hey a Girls got to be creative when it means saving her moola.

Cost: The Jacket is Gladie from Gas Spring summer/07 collection bought it for around $560

Purchased around $300 worth of steel studs.

I made mine for almost under $1000 not bad I say, as I stated before the Original runs around 6K.

Comments I got: Besides the random stare&shock

I want that jacket!

Sweet Jacket!

Rock&Roll Baby!

Hot Jacket!

OMG she has the Burberry Jacket!

Love the Jacket & the one whose wearing it!

You made those? Uh hunie you're going to be going places!!

You better start retailing & cashing in.

Few people wanted to know if I sold any & they want to buy one????!! Seriously!!

But best of all when I was in the subway waiting for the 1 train running an errand in Brooklyn this is what happened. True Story.

A guy : Excuse me where did you buy that jacket?

Me: I did'nt, I made it.

Guy: You know it looks like the Burberry jacket.

Me: I know I loved it so much, Figured if I can't afford it, least I could try making it.

Guy: Nice Job! I know all this because I'm a Stylist for a Big Company I'm not dropping any names as of yet ^_^

Me: Wow Expression!

more intresting conversation...& that ended with me exchanging email add with promising future endeavours. ^_^

My Reaction to all of this : A Gynormous Grin plastered on my Face! Can't help it! It feels so Damn Good!!

Locatin: Around Greenwich neighbourhood, while we were there stopped by at Sant Ambroeus in West4, sadly they were out of their "much loved by me" Tiramisu!!!! so I settled for Tuna Tomato Panini instead, Scrumptious, while my cutie had some weird looking sandwich thingee with his usual shot of Espresso.
