Thanks for these photos Lai. :) 

foodTrip: Hikay Restaurant Cebu

DS or de-stressing after a week of office (or lab work in my case) is always something we look forward to. Nothing wild, just trying out restaurants within the metro will do just fine. We are not updated with the latest and hippest but there a lot of places that we haven't conquered yet. So this time, we tried Hikay at the Calyx Building in IT Park Cebu.

How to: Long Lasting Red Lips

There was a time not so long ago that I had to wear the red lips for a special occasion, a choir presentation that is. I've been taught that the best lip color to wear during stage performances is red. The newbie in me experimented with these few lip products and I was amazed with the results. 

I wore it for a total of 6 hours, 4pm -10 pm with a heavy and oily buffet dinner in between and I came home with these lips. Honestly, no touch ups were done here and I might have slightly used a tablet napkin after eating. I didn't even bother looking in a mirror while I was still at the venue. How I did it? Here are the steps and the products:

Step 1: On clean and newly exfoliated lips, apply red lipliner all over the lips. I used LA Colors Auto Lipliner in 569 (Php 80 at Metro Ayala)

Step 2: Apply red lipstick with a matte formula all over the lips and pat with tissue. I did this step twice using LA Colors Lipstick in Red Tango (Php 80 at Metro Ayala)

Step 3: Apply another red lipstick with a moisturizing formula all over the lips and pat lightly with tissue. Do this once. This is NYX Round Lipstick in Pure Red (Php150 online).

 

Step 4: Lastly, apply a red lipgloss, here I was using NYX Lipgloss in True Red (Php200 online). 

Not bad for just using 4 affordable products right? Honestly this might even be too much but with the pleasing results, its worth it. Looked like I came home ready for another performance. Actually, except for the lips, I wouldn't really dare. :)
