Halloween Makeup Look inspired by Promise Phan's Creepy Stitched Doll video

Hello lovelies,

Its end of October and there are sooo many fun parties to attend. Why? because its HALLOWEEN!!! Well actually I don't celebrate Halloween nor do I party around (seriously busy at the moment) but I was sooo inspired after watching Promise Phan's new video: Creepy Stitched Doll (Halloween) that I had spontaneously requested Jerine from milliondollarbeauty to do a similar inspired makeup look and guess what happened!!!

We call it Mama Ghost and rebellious daughter ghost!!!! I absolutely love this photo. I do find Jerine's makeup is soo much scarier than mine. I've had comments that I just look like some emo kid going to a rock concert. Ah well, can't please everyone now can we.

Lets have a close up of my face:

Ok that was scary LOL. The makeup is actually super easy to do. ok I admit I had overdone my eyes as compared to Promise Phan's but it just makes it sooo special to me :P

The products that was used:

For my look:

Eyes:
NYX Nude on Nude makeup palette
SEPHORA Blockbuster palette
HEAVY ROTATION Perfect Liquid Eyeliner
MAYBELLINE NEW YORK the Rocket Volum' Express
CYBER COLORS Eye Definer Pencil in Deep Black 01
brandless fake eyelashes
DUO lash glue

Face:
REVLON New Complexion Loose Face Powder in Translucent #02
ESSENCE Mouse makeup in 04 matt ivory

Brush:
ELF brush set


The how to:

1. Create a pale skin with your normal makeup or better yet go 1 shade lighter
2. Darken your eyebrows and go THICK THICK THICK!!!!
3. You can start with a normal smokey eye look and blend the eyeshadow outwards. (Keep your face pale and grey)
4. Stick fake lashes on the top and bottom (the more extravagant and crazy your lashes are the better the effect)
5. Contour the lower cheek with greyish brown. Remember to always always keep your face pale and grey.
6. Draw lines in XXX over your lips with your eyeliner.
7. Use a pointy brush and dip light brown shade over the tip of your X's, keep it light.
8. Dip some reds in the middle to create a pricked effect.

Well think that's all for my look. Don't forget to check out Jerine's blog for how she does her look too, you'll be blown away, I guarantee it.

Summer Arms Challenge

There are so many workout challenges posted on the internet and how many people have actually succeeded in  following it through? I know I don't and I've never really tried it out.

TOday I will be attempting a 7 days summer arms challenge by SkinnyMs.com. Since I've never really succeeded in toning my arms this would be quite an experience. My arms are never toned, its just as flabby as - well if you can imagine the front portion of a pork leg, that would be it!!! It takes twice or triple the time i have to workout to tone up my triceps.

Now I'm properly taking up this challenge and see how it challenges and makes a different in my normal workout routine.

You can check out the routine here: SkinnyMs Summer Arms Challenge -

*I'm really sorry that I didn't record the measurements of my arm before I started the Challenge,today is actually Day 2 for me but I'll put it up on record just to show the difference at the end of the day.

Measurements:
I"ll be using this measurement from eHow.

and just so that you know I'm not cheating - i'm posting photographs of the measurements

forearm : 9 inches

flexed and unflexed arm : 14.2 inches 

upper arm : 15.5 inches

_________________________________________________________________________________
Day 1:

Tricep Push Up - 12 reps
Bicep Curls - 12 reps
Tricep KickBacks - 12 reps
(3 circuits for the routine)

The Tricep Push Up was a real challenge on the 2nd and 3rd circuit - sadly that goes to show how my arms have not exercised properly!!! Don't worry, the rest was a breeze :P
_________________________________________________________________________________

Day 2:

Tricep Dips - 20 reps
(rest 1 minute before starting the next exercise)
4 minute blaster - Tabata Formula : 20 secs exercise +10 secs rest (its all greek to me - luckily SkinnyMs posted a vid on it - look tough but boring)

OMG - my arms are killing me with just the dips - still sore from day 1!!! and WOW - the tabata formula - lets just say my glutes are crying :( can't wait to rest & recover tomorrow
