Summer Greens

I'm glad Sassy Jadore has extended her contest so that means I could still join... Yay! I just got back from an awesome vacation and here's my inspiration picture:

And here are "the look" pictures: (I picked this look because I want to relive the memories of my vacay with my boyfriend. I liked the feeling of togetherness and the green and blue colors of the trees and the ocean and the pool. Thinking about all these just make me blush all over again...Summer is my favorite time of the year because this is when a lot of bonding with friends happen and this is the time when we get a chance to travel to beaches and float in pools and just stuff ourselves up with summer refreshers. I was a bit sad when it had been a rainy summer here in the Philippines but I was more than happy that I was able to spend some days with my boy. Kind of like a summer extension.) So here goes...Not a pro but I tried.



For this look, I used mainly products I recently bought from a drugstore. I guess the palette is only available locally. I bought it because it is cheap and I wanna try it for practicing how to blend colors. I used different shades of green and blue and gray for the eyes. I also used the NB25 concealer from The Face Shop which is fast becoming my favorite. It glides evenly and very easy to apply. For the cheeks, I used another locally-produced tan blush. I found it a little challenging to play with the colors as I'm a little darker now from being under the sun for one too many days. I used an orangey-brown (don't know how to describe it) shade for my lips after exfoliating it with olive and sugar.

The resort we went to uses plant-based detergent to wash all the linens and towels and that made me a lot thankful to know that "Going Green" is indeed a worldwide effort already. Let's all do our share to save our environment. I want longer summers, not rainy ones...
