How to use facial paper masks

Below are the steps on how to use these fancy facial paper masks

Step 1: before putting the mask on, I recommend you put it in the fridge for at least 30 mins to 1hr (for a cooler, more relaxing effect )

Step 2: prepare your face -wash and then use your preferred toner 

Step 3: open the packaging, put the mask on, try to lay the mask evenly on your face, avoid bubbles 

Step 4: after 10- 20 minutes ( i keep mine til 30mins ), remove the mask and dispose it properly 

Step 5: do not wash your face! Just let the sticky liquid stay on longer, for the skin to better absorb everything the pack has to offer

What you must remember:

* this facial masks are disposable,for hygienic purposes please properly dispose them after use

* the excess liquid on the packaging can be applied on you neck and hands

Please check out my other article for some of the facia masks I've tried.

Poreless and oil free face by Ellana Minerals

I haven't been doing make up for others for a quite a while now, that's why I a bit doubtful when my soon to be married friend asked me to do her make up for her prenup photo shoot. She was the very reason I started scouting for reliable ammo's. I was a bit worried about 2 factors : it'll be done outdoors and shoot starts at 3 pm on a summer time of the year like this. I've done my research and I've acquired the much raved about items in the beauty blog-sphere,now it's time to put them to test. 

From my previous article I mentioned that I asked for sample for a fairer skin type from Ellana Minerals when I bought a loose mineral powder and a primer. This where I used the freebies I got from Theresa and her friend for my friend's face as she's wayyy fairer than me. The guy who gave me the samples told me that sample are good for one session. I thought he was just exaggerating or something but during the make up session I was amazed how powerful a little amount of each little bag can do to one's face. I used their Lets make it last face primers, HD primers (for shine free proof look) powdered concealer and loose mineral foundation for the face ,Etude for eye primers, eye shadows used are mixed of brown and almost black hue from my very limited set of eye palettes and Maybelline for the red lipstick. 

This  how they look like @start of the shoot

@around 5:30-6:00Pm-ish

I don't know about you but they're faces both seemed shine free to me :) . All I can see is the spark and love in this couple's eyes. And this photos were taken  at the 3rd-4th hour since the start of the shoot.

I was still able to do some lipstick retouch here and amazingly there's no need for a foundation retouch, I just handed her some tissue and some blotting paper, the summer heat is somehow kicking in at this point but her face still looks naturally lovely.

 I wasn't able to do retouch at this point, I've been up for about 24 hrs officially and I'm too tired to bring my make up kit with us @ the location so I just left them in the car which was parked pretty far ( at the point anything more than 10 steps seemed too far..lol)

@around 9:30 to almost 10pm

Colour Collection- temptress from Sampleroom.ph

I got first my sample package today , a colour collection temptress and tried it right away soon as i got in my room. I've read about the good comments in the sampleroom site about this lippie so I had to get one and see how it works. It was hotter than I expected. I love everything about this red lippie, it smells candy-ish, it glides effortlessly, it doesn't need lipgloss but its not too shiny, its picture perfect and its handy. I will later update this post and will include how long it lasts.
