Recent buys

 Shoes:
Now, ever since the Philippines trip I have been obsessed with shoes. Before phils, I had like 2 pairs of shoes (not really, but yaknow). So, I have been buying a lot of shoes lately and my mum gets angry at me whenever I come home with new ones. But yeh, we were at DFO last week and I decided to blow my money on her and bought her shoes LOL.

- Black: Rubi Shoes onsale $15 RRP $30

- Nude: ZU Shoes onsale $30 RRP $130

 

So now for the makeup, I have been unconsciously building a makeup empire and I don't plan on stopping. I am jus waiting on some money to rain in haha. Heres some purchases over the past few weeks.

 

- Australis: setting powder, lipstick (grunge), eyebrow pencil from $10-$20

-Beauty sponges: $5 each

-YSL: lipstick (gift) 



Like I said earlier, we went to DFO last week, and one of my favourite places to visit is the Roger David store. Yes, I know they're a mens store, but I cant help bringing my inner gentleman out. along with these jumpers I also got 3 pairs of printed socks.

- All jumpers: 4 for $60 RRP $40 each

 

 

 

 

 

ENJOY!

What's in my bag? Uni days

well obviously, my "essentials" are pretty "essential" therefore I just decided to post some other time on them :))

~ Laptop bag: ebay $20

~Notebooks: Typo 3 for $15

~Bag: Factorie $20

~iPad case: ebay $15

PS: I need a new bag, because this one is pretty old and feels like it'll give up sometime soon so yeh let me know of some nice places to buy nice good quality backpacks. :)

PPS: I lost my usual background so excuse the tiles :( haha

Elsa Inspired

So like, I was supposed to go out today, but everyone cancelled on me, so instead I thought "Why not be a girl and play with some makeup?"
Yeh, so here's my first tutorial, and it was inspired by Elsa the Snow Queen. Who doesn't love Frozen? And who doesn't love this beautiful Snow Queen.
Like I said, this is my first tutorial so bare with me I have any mistakes whatsoever. I'm trying to survive on a limited kit, because I am still saving up for some real good quality ones.

I will just focus on the eyes in this tutorial as its the main part to Elsa's look...

• get your lids ready with a base primer and a neutral shade of eyeshadow all the way to the lid.
• apply some purple glittery eye shadow into the outer and inner thirds of your eye lid. TIP: use an eye sponge instead of a brush in a dabbing motion to increase the intensity of the colour. 
• apply a lighter shade of glittery purple shadow. here I used a mix of a light purple and pink int the middle of the lid. Blend with a clean brush to avoid any harsh lines. 
• apply some silver eyeshadow into your tear ducts, and onto the bottom inner thirds. This just brightens up and brings out the eye.
• mix some pink and red eyeshadow along with a very pigmented pink blush and apply onto your outer V, bringing it up just above your crease. 
• apply white eye liner onto your lower water line, and line only the outer thirds of your upper and bottom lash line. 
• Curl your eye lashes and apply a thick coat of mascara, on both your bottom and upper lashes. PS this look would look better with some falsies, I just didnt have any on me, so I encourage you to wear some false eye lashes. 
• lastly, contour your cheek bones, temples and jawline. TIP: I like to use a brown eye shadow, because it doesnt have that orange undertone, like bronzers, so it gives you a darker "shade-like" pigment. Apply some bluch onto the apples of your cheek, blending it onto your cheek bones.
• Oh and dont forget your nice soft pink lipstick. MWA

thanks for reading!!

ps: if you guys noticed, I didnt name my products because some of you may probably have better quality makeup, I just had to work with what I had. 

pps: i dont advice you to wear this for an everyday thing, probably just for dress up parties and formal occasions. 

Valentine's Day outfit ideas

hello again everyone, I'm back for another post... and since Valentine's Day is coming up in a week or so, I decided to plan out so cute, comfy and classy outfits. Also, I think that wearing red on Valentine's Day is a tad too mainstream, so I thought I would stream away from that. So yah, enjoy :) PS, I also had a recent thrift shop haul so you'll see some of the items I got.

 #1
This one is plain and simple, but I think that the teal accessories bring it together. I am loving this skirt I got from the Philippines, so be prepared to see more of it in the future. This would be great for a casual lunch,or movie dates.

-Top: JayJays $10

-Skirt: Forever 21 $30

- Belt: Thrifted $5

- Shoes: Payless Shoes $20

 #2
This one is probably the most formal out of these 3 outfits, and I think its pretty obvious how much I am loving florals right now. This is also probably my favourite, its perfect for dinner dates out by Darling Harbour or pretty much anywhere nice.

-Top: Markets in the Philippines

-Jacket: Thrifted $12

-Skirt: Chicabooti $10

-Shoes: SM Department Store Philippines

#3
Okay, this one I think is very plain, simple and chic... This would also be great for those movie dates or just strolling around sightseeing. I am in love with this bag that I managed to get my hands on in my recent Thriftshop haul, ugh..

- Dress: PaperScissors $10

-Jacket: Thrifted $5

-Bag: Thrifted $20 

-Shoes: same as #1

Well, that's it for me today, if you have any ideas for my next post you can contact me through my ask.fm/veraczarina  :) PS sorry for the poorly laid out outfits, I will start modelling future outfit ideas/posts sometime in the next few weeks.
