I've always wanted to create colorful, fun, and crazy looks since I've learned how to draw and paint. For years, I've been constantly trying to find the best of the best face and body paints to help me do so. But in Macau, it's not far from impossible. From never drying paints to irritations after usage, I've tried every possible body paints available here, until a good friend from Hong Kong recommended I should try Face Slap!.

Hi there! This blogpost was meant to just show you what I've been finding really fun to do lately. If you've been following me on Instagram (which I think you should because I post there a lot more often :3 --> @kateeotd), you probably noticed how invested I am lately with sfx looks, costumes, cosplaying, and just playing dress up in general. My love for makeup and art has grown immensely in the past year and I've just been on a roll! 

A big part of that was when I discovered FaceSlap! face & body paints. They are super easy to work with and have an array of all the colors you could possibly think of! I started with their 12 color face & body paint, and now I've added a few pearl finishes into my collection.

Issa look, issa vibe, but most importantly, it's a Valentine's mood! Let me just go off and start with saying: Happy Valentine's Day dear reader! I won't really go into details about the love season since I've already talked about it in my previous blog post (Go read it here: ENTERING THE LOVE & LUCK MONTH (2019)). Basically, Valentine's Day is much more important to me because it's when Adrian and I celebrate our anniversary. This year marks our eighth year together which is a very long period in my life. All the way from my senior year in high school, up to four whole years in university, and three years into working a full-time job. I'm just happy that I've found the one, hopefully. Also, to those who are (happily or sadly) single, I'm not talking about my love-life to brag. I believe that love will come and all you have to do is wait.

It's finally December! The holiday season is here and in a few weeks I'm about to travel again. In anticipation, I had a chance to pamper myself with The Minute, Macau. I got lash extensions and a fresh set of gel nails. They have more services like mani-pedis and brow shaping; for more details go visit Macau Lifestyle to know more about the shop info! Also, I've included a short vlog on my YouTube Channel to share my awesome experience with The Minute! (Scroll down to watch my vlog)

Ho Ho Ho... Wait... what? Too early for that but as of now HAPPY HALLOWEEN WITCHES! Just like every year, I don't really do anything on Halloween but put on makeup, take pictures, and wonder why I can't have fun like everyone else I watch and see in YouTube and Instagram. But that's what happens when you're stuck in a small region like Macau, not to mention how everything is mostly in Chinese. We don't have trick or treating, last time we had a house party was years ago, and all we ever really have are clubs. Oh well.... "I'm not crazy. My reality is just different from yours."

Because who doesn't like contouring nowadays? As much as some of us may hate to admit, we wanna try some awesome contouring even once in a while. As for me, my contouring is quite simple. Yes, I use bronzers, blushes, and I especially love highlighters! But I don't really do those Kim Kardashian / Kylie Jenner looking contour. At times I do, when there are events or certain blog looks that need it. Today I share my very own contouring tools! I'll be giving advices and tips along the way so make sure to read!

Bigger and bolder? Definitely the look I'm going for! Eyebrows nowadays became the epitome of makeup. Since a few years back, the way your brows are drawn, shaped, and filled has always been the baseline for a ready-to-go face, in my opinion at least. I swear, I could leave the house as long as my brows were on fleek! Although, I do know that there are some ladies out there who really wants to try having amazing brows but has no clue how to start. Well no worries to you beautiful women, this Brows by Benefit Cosmetics is probably a starter kit you'd want to invest on. Keep reading, I'll be mentioning some of my tips and tricks along the way!

THE MOST PAINFUL PAMPERING I'VE DONE SO FAR! There was so much buzz with the new black peel-off mask in Instagram, Facebook, etc. Even my queens @sup3rfruit did a fun vlog with it (RIPPING OUR FACES OFF Video) and that's what made me thought of writing this review. I've had it for quite some time now but I never actually did a full face on trial. I did, however, used it on a really stingy black head before that was impossible to remove but this peel-off mask did the trick. The next day after using it, my black head just popped off.....disgusting, but true.
