Wedding Bliss: Anne Grace Lu, The Professional Makeup Artist

How can I not mention one of the first few suppliers that I booked, my wedding makeup artist, Miss Anne Grace Lu.

She's been on my radar since 2013 (or something) when she did my makeup on my friend's wedding. I was the maid of honor back then and I really loved how she did my makeup so I didn't forget about her.

Every time people will ask me if I know someone who can do wedding makeup, I would always refer Miss Anne because I know she can deliver. I really believe in her ability and of course I would not refer someone who will ruin me. Miss Anne, in return, never disappoint. Her clients would always love how she do makeup.

Come my wedding and of course, lalayo pa ba ako? I booked her and I was so happy she will always be part of my happiest day.

Here are the reasons why I chose Miss Anne:

1. Natural makeup
I think what I liked most about her is her ability to enhance the client's face without overdoing it. It looked natural and not over the top. It didn't feel heavy and you still look like you, but better.

2. Nice set-up, perfect for photoshoot
How I love Miss Anne's workstation! I just love being in her high makeup chair. It feels as if I am one of those movie stars that is being dolled up.

3. Rapport
Also, you will not get bored being in front of Miss Anne. She just knows how to create rapport to the client without being too pushy or being too talkative.

4. Professionalism
I liked that Miss Anne has a timeline especially she will be handling not just me but some of my bridesmaids,too. I loved that she prepared her own timeline, coordinated with my coor so they can sync both of their timelines. She came earlier than her call time.

5. Presentable
Did I tell you that Miss Anne is one of the prettiest makeup artists I've met? She looked polished, professional, and presentable. I think that adds up to her charisma.

A lot of people are commenting how pretty I was on the day. Some of my friends who are soon-to-be brides told me that they really liked my makeup and have asked Miss Anne's contact number, too. Well, I am not surprised at all. Miss Anne really has the talent for makeup.

For inquiries, you may contact Miss Anne through her facebook page.

Love,

My PIERCINGS- Accidents, Stories, Reasons.. etc.

Elow elow elow Dear Reader! So, today, I bought new set of earrings and I realized, I haven't really talked about my piercing experience. So, I thought maybe I should answer some common questions about my piercings and piercing in general. How many piercings do you have? As of the moment, I have a total of six individual piercings. Three on the left ear, three on the right. When did you get them and why? 1. The first pair was done when I was four or five years old. I remember my father bringing me to a little health center and telling me to just tilt my head and that was it. I don't have much to say about this piercing because it was like a "default" kind of thing - sort of a tradition or one of those mandatory things a girl has to go through- so nothing special in this pair. Also, I was too young to remember how it felt like. Too young to even comprehend. But I remember being happy having the privilege to wear such pretty gold earrings. I had the rest ...

Happiness and All in Between

Source Life is freaking awesome, let me just say that. I’m happy to finally say I am happy (forgive the redundancy). I am so overwhelmed with all the blessings I see around me. Much more, I am filled with peace which is far too precious than any other material things in this world. Last night, while I was doing my “journaling” routine, I reviewed my bucket list I made at the beginning of the year. I called it “PUSH MO YAN, GIRL” list. Three of them I already ticked off including the last one which says “BE HAPPY.” For the past two years, I feel stuck. I don't really know what to do with my life. Along with my self-imposed crisis, I felt truly unhappy, but God has helped me make better decisions in life that has led me to find happiness with who I was, who I am, and who I want to be in the future. Now, I feel so much better- the best version I could ever be since my quarter life has began and I am no longer afraid of my dreams. I am no longer at lost, I think. Large part o...

Curly Find: Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse

Living in a country where straight hair rules, finding a good styling product for the curly hair is such a pain in the ey-ess-ess. For the past few months, I've been experimenting on different hair products, mixing and jumbling all sorts of creams, mousse, gels, etc etc. Product after product, layers after layers. I honestly sometimes feel like going back to straight hair is way easier and economical, than spending so much money on hair products, but then I do love my current buhahag hairstyle- I feel some sense of uniqueness and personality with this kind of hair- so I think I wold just go on with this journey and just enjoy every part of it. So, today, I thought I would share my experience with this Dove Nourishing Curls Whipped Cream Mousse. This is by far, my favorite mousse cream for my curly hair. Let me tell you some of my opinions regarding this product. 1. SMELL - Oh. Goodness. I love the smell of this one right out of the can. This is...

My Birthday Shenanigans : ABS-CBN Tour and ASAP Live

August is my birthday month so instead of doing my usual "Pieces of My Month" series, I decided to make it more special by doing series of posts called "My Birthday Shenanigans." I know that this has been an overdue post as we are already running through "BER" months, but as I have said before, it is better to post late than never. Anyways, one of the major things I did during my birthday was to take a tour around ABS-CBN studio. ABS-CBN is the largest broadcasting network in the Philippines as far as I know. So, if you are living in the Philippines, there is no way you do not know what ABS-CBN is. It has produced tons of television shows, entertainers, artists, broadcasters, movies, etc. My brother and my sister-in-law (who was also celebrating her birthday that day) were kind enough to invite me to join them in seeing the "behind the scenes" of TV production.

Inspired by Legally Blonde: Pink and Marvellous

Since this blog is unexpectedly becoming a nail fetish den, I would like to give you yet another nail design inspired by a movie. Just on my previous post, I was talking about Miss Elle Woods and her affirmation that a manicure makes a girl feel better no matter what (although technically, it was her friends who told her that). It was a funny affirmation but there is truth to it. So, today, I thought of dedicating this pink nail design to Miss Elle Woods, our Legally Blonde. . I was a young high school girl when I first saw the movie Legally Blonde and it is one of my favorite movies back then. I also made a high school movie review for our English subject. That's how I love this movie. Miss Elle Woods is definitely a pink girl, thus the pink nails. I add some pink animal print to the design because she is a certified pet lover to her lovely dog, Bruiser Woods, and she really loves to accent her strike on pink environment with a pink animal print. She also doesn'...
