Filipina Youtube Beauty Guru itsjudytime’s Meet and Greet in Manila

With Judy and Benji <3

 

I’m a huge fan of Youtube. Believe me when Youtube became popular, I was so happy that normal people would post videos of themselves doing makeup and making tutorials for us to recreate on our own. It’s like one big beauty community making videos for each other so we can interactively learn from one another. Now those regular people have stepped up their game and are now known as beauty gurus in Youtube. One of the beauty gurus that I followed was Judy with her channel itsjudytime. I followed her because she’s Filipina and because her videos were very informative about hair and makeup. Through the years she has been making videos for her beauty channel and has opened a new channel solely for videos that are not related to her beauty channel so we can have a peek at her life. That channel is itsjudyslife. People would think a Vlog channel would be boring, but honestly, getting a peek at someone else’s life isn’t boring at all if it’s Judy and Benji we’re talking about. Along with her husband Benji of BenjiManTV, they make the power couple of Youtube and watching their daily Vlogs has been a part of my daily Youtube fix. <3

How to Winged Eyeliner + Teardrop Liner

Before I embark on my trip to Seoul next week, I will teach you guys how to achieve the winged eyeliner + teardrop liner look. This I have to say is my staple eye makeup when I’m too lazy to just think of anything else to do with my face, but I still want to look as if I spent a lot of time on it.

Etude House's Tear Drop Liner

Teardrop liner first of all is basically glitter liner. If you don’t have an Etude House store where you live, don’t feel bad if you can’t get your hands on it because a lot of brands carry glitter liners (NYX, MAC, Urban Decay, Stila, Makeup Forever, etc.). The teardrop liner look is preferred by most Korean celebrities and ulzzangs because it brightens up the eyes and gives that innocent teary doe-eyed  look. Korean celebrities who are known to rock this look are T-ara, Bom of 2NE1, and IU.

Miss A: Goodbye Baby Look

When it comes to K-pop, I may have a strong passion for fangirling when it comes to boy groups ( No seriously, my love for Korean boy groups deserves a different post because I cannot for the love of Korea put it here as I’m about to discuss my love for one particular girl group).  But when it comes to girl groups, I have to say my favorite is Miss A. I have followed them since their debut with Bad Girl, Good Girl and I fell in love with Fei because to me she has the most goddess potential at that time. But my love for them grew when they came out with Breathe and since then, I have pledged my loyalty to my first K-pop girl group fandom.

For today’s look I have decided to do Bae Suzy’s makeup in their latest single Goodbye Baby. What I like about Miss A’s makeup here is that they don’t have a ton of makeup as opposed to other girl groups. Basically they focus on bold eyeliner and that’s it. No shimmer and no dark lipsticks. It looks as if the rest of the face is bare but they have a strong eyeliner look that complements each of the girls’ eye shapes.

Check the video out for yourselves! It’s so kick ass <3

Wanna Be Sweet? (Review and Tutorial: Etude House Miss Tangerine Collection)

For Etude’s Spring collection, they have launched the most awaited Miss Tangerine line. This collection consists mostly of, yes you’re not mistaken, makeup in orange hues. I know I am quite late in reviewing these makeup items, but as soon as they hit the shelves here in Manila, most of their stocks were completely wiped out from their stores and you need to get items on a waiting list system. But lucky for me around May, an Etude House store opened in a new mall about 5 minutes away from the neighborhood where I live so I grabbed the opportunity to take hold of most of the items I have been eyeing in the collection and also managed to get some of the permanent products in their store that were always out of stock.

For the items that I got in the line, I picked up two of their Cream Choux Blushers in Miss Berry and Miss Tangerine, Dear Darling Lipstick in OR207, Soda Tint in Tangerine Soda, and Sweet Shower Lips in Miss Tangerine Tangerine.

Swatches of all the products and two tubes of the Cream Choux Blusher.

As you all have noticed, most of the items I picked up were orange as I was really into orange makeup even before this line was launched. I am a fan of bright and unconventional colors so I really had to get most of the orange makeup in this collection. But for those who are not into really bright and bold orange colors, the collection has berry and peach colored blushes and lip products that some may be interested in. Now onto the review!

At first, I was never really interested in getting the blushes since I’m not into blushes at all. I’m more of a lip junkie and eyeshadow girl. But the texture and pigmentation of these blushes were too great to pass up on. They are very creamy, yet light and the color is buildable. I’d say their texture is almost close to whipped cream. The two colors I got are the orange one and the pink one because I don’t think the peach and the lavender  would show up on my skin well. They also come in a squeeze tube so it’s easy to use the product and you don’t need brushes to blend them in. The heat of your fingers will melt them into your cheeks and makes it super easy to blend. I’d say these are almost foolproof to use compared to tints.

Sweet Shower Lips in Miss Tangerine Tangerine

The Sweet Shower Lips is probably one of my favorites in this collection because they are so wearable! Even if this is an orange shade, it is so sheer that it only gives your lips a hint of color. I’d have to say this is a cross between a lipbalm and a lipstick. The packaging in this one is also very sleek and sturdy. One thing I hate about lip products is that when they’re in my makeup bag, they get scratches, have their caps pop off, crack their packaging, etc. But this one has a very solid packaging that I don’t even worry if I drop it at times.
