Everyday Face Routine

Well, honestly, I don't do this routine everyday! Haha! Let's just say that this is what I do whenever I go out and I have the time to put on make up. I don't know about you girls, but it takes forever for me to get ready. I am so glad that I had my hair treated because it surely saved me a lot of time. If I have to leave my house at 10 in the morning, I should wake up at 7 in the morning. Three hours to convince myself that I need to get up already, attend to morning washroom routine, eat breakfast, check my social networking sites, reply to inquiries at Bubblish Shop, take a bath, let my hair dry, put my make up on, dress up and finally double check my stuff that I should bring out.

You might think that three hours is a long time, but there's a lot that I also need to attend to in between. And of course, I'm no expert in putting on make up. It takes me quite a while to finish my face.

 Here are the stuff that I use for my (not so) everyday look.

Prep Stuff
I've already mentioned (a number of times already, actually lol) that I have an oily skin. Of course, the oiliness cannot magically disappear, so I just make sure to use products which claim to reduce oiliness. 

Nivea Mattifying Toner: This is actually my first time to try this product. I used to use Tony Moly's facial wash and toner but it suddenly stopped working for me. I switched to Nivea Facial Care products and I'm liking it! 
Nivea Sparkling White Moisturizer: This claims to reduce shine on the face, too.
Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser: I've already raved about this. I love it and I obviously need to repurchase already!

FACE STUFF

Collection 2000 Naturally Matt Foundation in Shade # 2 (Blonde). I am liking this one. I bought this at Crossings in TriNoMa. I forgot the exact price, but this is 350-380php I think? It's really affordable so it's perfect for everyday use. And compared to my other foundation, my face appears less oily when I use this! 
Revlon Photoready  in Nude Beige. I'm just finishing this one because  I don't like the dewy look it gives when using flash in photos. I love this, but I've been using this for quite some time now and I think it's time to look for an alternative! 
BYS Blusher in Perfectly Peachy. I like like peachy blush. I think it looks more natural on me!

EYEBROWS ESSENTIALS
I just started filling in my more than a year ago. I used to think that my brows needed no fillings whatsoever. Haha! But then, I colored my hair so of course I needed to change my brows' color, too  and so I learned -- well, still learning. The eyebrows make such a big difference in one's look! 

BYS Brow and Eye Pencil. I use this to define my brows.
Ever Bilena Brow Pencil . I use this to fill in my brows. 
Prestige Brow Perfection. I bought this at Beauty Bar and I love how it comes with both tinted and clear gel. I actually need to purchase a new one, in a ligther shade because I changed the color of my hair again. HAHA! There are times when I don't reallt set my brows. I just fill them in. But when there are more important meetings and/or appointments, or when I'm in the mood to do it, I make an extra effort to use this!

EYE MAKEUP

  ELF Eyelid Primer. This is actually my first ever eyelid primer! I think this works for me well because my eyeshadow stays on my eyes longer despite sweating. :-/ I can't really compare it with any other eyelid primer tho. As I've said, this is my first ever eyelid primer. 
BYS Eyeshadow Palette in Natural Delight. This is perfect for a very natural everyday eye make up!
The Face Shop Eyeliner
Essence 2in1 Volume Mascara. I bought this one because of the packaging. I am not impressed with this mascara because my lashes tend to stick together and they do not look natural anymore.
► Tony Moly Make Up Eraser. I need this mainly for my eyeliner. HAHA! Putting winged eyeliner is so tricky for me. :/


SETTING STUFF
These two are very helpful to ladies with oily skin like me. Living in Manila is a nightmare if you're oily like me. There are times when in less than an hour, I would look like I sprayed oil on my face. Thank goodness to these two because I can look decent for hours! Haha!

Essence Fix & Matte Translucent Loose Powder Of course, I've already accepted the fact that I need to blot my oily  face after a couple of hours after leaving my house. I live in Manila, I take the public transportation and it's always always ALWAYS hot! This translucent powder is working well for me tho. This keeps my face shine free for a little more time. Lol.
NYX Matte Finish Setting Spray I actually use this for a more important times only. I want to buy everything with "stay matte" label but given the weather in the Philippines and my oily face, I don't think I'll ever get a shine free face! 

LIPPIES

Covergirl's Heavenly Paradisiaque. I love how this moisturizes my lips. I'm usually a matte lipstick kind of girl, but I love this lipstick's moisturizing effect and staying power! And it's perfect for everyday look.
MAC Ruby Woo. This, I use this mainly if I don't have enough time to put on make up. Powder, browse, liner and Ruby Woo are the make up that I used when I only have like an hour to prepare!
MAC Kinda Sexy. This is my current ultimate favorite lipstick! I just love this so much!


So basically, this is my face when I have three hours to prepare for a day out. HAHA! I used Covergirl's Heavenly Paradisque lipstick. I need to buy a new brow set/gel because my hair is lighter now. :/

If you look closely, you'll see that I was already starting to get all sweaty on my forehead! And that's just few minutes after putting on make up! *LeSigh
