First Haul and FOTD Ever: Warm and Subtle

My first "Face of the Day" ever! Oddly enough, I felt inspired to really do my eyes today even though it's a Sunday. Since I kind of liked how my lids turned out, I took photos of it! Okay, honestly, that's the only thing "special" about my face today.

Please don't expect much from me. I'm only a college student who likes experimenting with makeup. #insecure

Hello, all!

Colorful picture hehe

Bushy bushy eyebrows

I decided to create a bronzy orangy eye look today using my favorite eyeshadow palette, theBalm's Shady Lady Vol. II. Among all the Shady Lady palettes, I like the second volume the most because it has a lot of wearable colors. I highly recommend this. I can't even explain the quality and pigmentation of these eyeshadows! They're absolutely wonderful.

Before I continue, I would like to address my bushy eyebrows. My mom prohibits me from having my brows done. To remedy this, I secretly pluck my eyebrows at night. I'm not very good at it; I only started a few weeks ago. #fail

Stuff I used today:

• Benefit That Gal face primer
• Benefit Erase Paste in Medium 02
• Benefit Boi-ing concealer in Medium 02
• Benefit Lemon-aid eye primer
• Lush Color Supplement Multi-Purpose Base Color in Dark Yellow
• MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural in Medium Plus
• NARS Orgasm Multiple (cheeks)
• Covergirl LashBlast Volume Mascara in Dark Brown
• theBalm Shady Lady Vol. II palette 
• lid color: Devilish Danielle (champagne)
• outer corners: Mischievous Marissa (muted orange)
• crease: Insane Jane (taupe)

Yeah, I pack a lot of stuff on my face. Don't judge. I'm having fun with the Benefit Confessions of a Concealaholic concealer kit (contains Boi-ing, Erase Paste and Lemon-aid) my aunt bought me a month ago. 

Moving on to the haul part! 

I got some beauty-related stuff from Metro, Lush and Make Up For Ever today. My mom and I are out of cuticle remover so I bought the Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover. I heard this works great. The next thing I got was the Lush Uluru Shower Gel, which is a limited edition product. It smells like sweet oranges! I really am a sucker for fruity scents. Thank goodness the Bonifacio High Street branch still had a couple of bottles! The last thing I got was the Make Up For Ever Lesson 1: Natural Eyes kit. It contains two full size (!) Aqua Creams and two mini eyeliners. I will do a review on this soon! Just a side note: you will soon notice that when it comes to buying high-end makeup, I usually go for the value packs to get more out of my money.

That ends my first FOTD and haul post! Should I do more posts like this? Feel free to comment below!
