Moving

Hello everyone. I'm moving to this new url: artofdaphy.blogspot.com

Reason why?

Well, I've kept this blog for about five years now, since 2006. And it's been such a long journey of clusters of thoughts and emotions and expressions of my many different years that I kinda feel lost here. Which might also be why I stopped blogging for so long. It's like, I don't know what to blog about anymore. Somehow, I often feel unsure about what to post or whether certain posts are appropriate or not here and blablablasolazytoexplain... So, Imma clean all this mess up and start anew in the new blog. Time to "put your behind in your past" said Pumba.

Expect the new blog to be much simpler. More pictures, photos, maybe some words. Opening up some creative space there to motivate myself to start some new art projects.

Still leaving this blog here for us all to look back at the earlier days haha. But will not post here anymore (i think).

See you all there!

Supa awesome favorite products of 1/3 of 2011

Hello all! As you can see I've been aways since, forever! Oh well, shows that I have a life outside of my laptop and the web world (kidding, but seriously, I do. wtf) 

Anyway! Enjoying every bit of my final semester in uni, at the same time, can't wait to graduate and start making some of my own money! :D

Okay, today's post is simple. Here are a few of my favorite products of the first third of 2011 lol.

Remember some time ago I said I bought this supa awesome mascara?

Yeah, Majolica Majorca's supa awesome mascara. Okay that's  not the real name, but it works great for me. Lasts the whole day on oily lids bla bla bla. Using a second tube already! 

So since it was sooo awesome and waterproof, I decided to try another item of Majolica Majorca's hoping that the formula is as awesome as the mascara's.

Behold. The other supa awesome product of Majolica Majorca

The Majolica Majorca Perfect Automatic Liquid Eyeliner!!!!!!!!!! MMPALE. Mouth-full :S

I got mine in black! I have to say it works really really well on my oily skin. I mean, it lasts me more than 12 hours a day! The colour stays, doesn't smudge AT ALL (because of it's formula I guess, it dries up. So if it comes off, it flakes instead of smudge). No problem with the colour. 

But! You may have to experiment with how many rounds you wanna turn the eyeliner's interesting liquid dispensing mechanism (you'll know when you buy it). For me, 2 rounds is enough for an eye! :D So there you go, supa-awesome-long-lasting-liquid-eyeliner!

Next, is a product that I have been using for a few months now and absolutely love. Talked about this product here last year before but still loving it so here it comes again! The perfect affordable, quality liquid foundation for a person who has limited disposable income! :D

The Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation!

After trying different colors (Warm Golden, Nude, Sand Beige), I settled for 180 Sand Beige. It's the best color for meee. The others are a little bit darker and too warm/dark, but doesn't look all that bad on camera.

This foundation's color really STAYs. Lasts me throughout the day without touch-ups. Doesn't transfer, doesn't flow off with your facial oil. I don't even use any powder over it or primer below. It also has very very good coverage. Good stuff for a drugstore brand!

That's basically the few things I use all the time apart from skin care. I'm so happy to have found such good products after years of experimenting. *loyal

Am so tempted to go for Lancome's new compact powder:

Lancome Maqui Miracle

Seen some pretty nice reviews bout it and it's long-lasting qualities.

Do let me know if it's "supa-awesome". teehee

Ohhhh, who's going to this weekend's Flip Flop Beach Carnival? Seeee you thereee! 

p/s: sorry if my "supa-awesome"s annoyed ya :p & 3/4 pics from Google Images. 

lol.

Hello! Sorry for my absence. Why is it most of us loose motivation to blog at some point in life? But thank you guys whoever you may be for occasionally dropping by, keeping up the feed :D

Classes has started, time passed really fast and we're entering week 3. Suddenly CGPAs don't seem that important anymore when I start thinking about working life. Stressed just thinking about it. "What kinda job will I end up with?" I keep asking myself. After that I tell myself, "don't worry, if you don't like it you can always just get experience there and look for another job". Think I've found the answer but the questions still continue. Hate uncertainty. :S

Yawn! Back to watching movies. I'm a real movie freak. Movies are my favorite pass time recently. I can just tune into any movie channel on Astro and watch any movie that's on air. I watch old dvds. I watch some movies on ch131.com. I HAVE to watch high rating movies in the cinemas. I MAKE the bf watch movies with me and he HAS to pay attention while watching or else it would annoy me wtf. oh movies~ how you entertain me.

Ok gtg thxbai

Digital paint

Hello all! It's been a while! This was the picture I was supposed to finish by the end of Chinese New Year but, friends and holidays distracted me, hence, I just finished it today.

My first finished (sorta) painting done with my laptop, Bamboo tablet, mouse, and Corel Paintshop Pro X. It's a bit rough at the clothes and the hair and background part because I got lazy :( But I'll do better next time. heh.

Was inspired to draw this by Michelle Phan. I looked through her pictures in her Facebook fan page and saw her digital paintings. I was like, OMG she's so good at that, looks so realistic! So, I knew I had to try it! And it's surprisingly easier to paint faces on the computer than on paper because well, you can use editing tools, color, lighting, lightening, darkening, smudging effects to edit pictures to near perfection. But control wise, I think using a pencil is definitely easier. Maybe I should combine them.. draw with pencil, paint with computer.. hmm.. :D

Recognize the face? Haha, used her face as well. Though it doesn't look like her, she was a good model to use. Awesome makeup and perfect smile. Yeap, I'm a big fan.

Classes have started so, going to bed now. Till  next time I'm free enough, I'll do another :D Wait for it!

xoxo

Wabbit yeah

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

Doing a CNY kinda portrait drawing but not totally done with it yet. Anyway, may everyone have a healthy and prosperous new year! May the rabbit be gentle on us :D

My first week of CNY nails.

Nah, a pic of me and my not so new dress and curls again! But not very used to curls nemore. Feel a bit too mature with them. But they still go better with dresses. My bangs are overgrown, but thank goodness to this video, I learned to style them! :D

Till I update the drawing, Happy CNY again! :D
