Beauty project

I thought that I will never visit my derma after more than a year of neglect. It seems that my obsession with the new school year and finishing my bestselling Guide to HEDCen have taken the top priority. Then finally, I decided to give face another chance.

Before:   Imagine the skin of santol.  corrugated and bumpy.  imagine ripe mangoes when signs of decay is imminent.

During:   Imagine applying egg whites and worst on your face- that's the peeling chemical, shrinking the skin till its dried up and bursting, not to mention a face so battered after a white head is delivered from a tiny pore that would not budge!!! And imagine how many were forced to come out, delivered by a salivating, obsessed and unrelenting skin midwife of some sort.

The best is when your face starts to crack and layer upon layer of skin begin to s h e d d d... you pull on a thin filament and you hear it crackle a little bit.  this is so addicting that you would not want your peeling to ever stop.  The skin is dead and you roll your fingers gently during and after a bath and they yield like... dead skin!  Peeling does not seem to stop and you find skin on your blouse, on your chest and on your lap.. on the page of your book you last read or on a document you signed.

After:  New skin for a while.  Not as exciting as the process of getting there.  I'd  say it's good to shed.  I see guavas from the tree outside my window as I write.  Still guava face but the younger version!!!  hahahaha!

make over

Tried on a new venture:  Make up!  Did not want to have my face done by some stranger and at the same time my budget did not allow me to hire an "expert", so the practice began.

I bought some tools of the trade and got excited over the idea.  Ana and I had a pact that we would do it no matter what!!

Before:

Ana practiced on my face.  Here is the outcome!!! Of course I messed up Ana's face too but not sure if she will like her photo posted here! hahahahahaha!!

 After some practice and painful skin,  I was ready for the wedding.  I did my hair too!

I used light pink shades of eyeshadow and reddish brown for contouring of eyes.  Mascara and dark brown eyeline finished the look.  Peachy rose blush on my cheeks and some Maybelline lipstick.

I would like to be a make-up artist!
