Get Loose

Been really busy and I hardly find free time to blog so now that I have a few minutes, I'm taking this opportunity to post!

It's been really a hot summer and I can't stand the high temperature. Loose clothes greatly help beat the heat! Gotta stay fashionable and comfortable still.

Make up like a PRO: A Summer Beauty Workshop by Micah Zurita

 Before I start with this post, I would first like to apologize for being absent for a LONG time. I've been really busy with work lately. I didn't really have the time to blog anymore despite my hunger for it. But now that I already have enough time to blog (I believe so), I guess I could regularly update again. So, I hope you're still there to support me, my lovely readers!

Okay, so on with this post.

I have been doing hair and make up for a number of clients. I've been doing this for a while now. I always tell others that I never had the chance to take up my oh-so-ever-longed-for course which is Architecture, so instead on drawing on paper, I made the human face a canvas instead. It has been really fun doing make up. But I still know that I have a lot of room for improvement, so I decided to come to a beauty workshop last Friday, March 22, to learn more about it.

The event was called, "Makeup Like a Pro, A Summer Beauty Workshop by Micah Zurita"

That day, we were taught to do everyday makeup, which I don't normally do to myself since I never thought that brown shades would look good on me. I was so happy to know about the topic plus the model didn't have chinita or chinese eyes. I was so used to my singkit or small eyes, hence I was really glad to see how to put makeup on another eye shape. I really learned a lot that day, especially on learning how to put super light but pretty everyday makeup coz I am really used to doing the night makeup. I really look forward to attending more workshops by Ms. Micah Zurita and I really recommend every girl in town to attend her upcoming workshops. It was so easy to learn because she does everything step by step and she even came up with a little set up for each one of us so that we can also apply what she taught us during the workshop! Being hands on was the best.

Dinner is served! Gotta pay attention to our stomachs after 5hrs of makeup workshop! yum!

Thank you so much, Micah, for a really fun experience of learning basic makeup. I really learned a lot.

Maybe soon, I'll do a vlog on different makeup looks that I do for my clients, and looks that people request me to do. What do you think? :)

A New Hue

Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending a fashion show at Abreeza Mall of Davao. The show was entitled "A New Hue" which featured the latest trends and colors of 2013 and the show also featured tenants of the said mall and the famous Davao Elite Fashion Group composed of the city's best fashion designers. It was definitely a successful show and the mixes, matches and designs were really eye-popping. I personally loved the creative designs of the fashion designers. They really showed how creative and playful Davaoeno artists could get.

For this year, the colors and patterns expected to stand out are base colors & patterns such as beige, khaki and linen; cool colors such as sage, goldenrod and cobalt; and warm colors such as cinnebar, creamsicle and goldenrod. These are some of the colors used yesterday.

The first set of photos are the sets from the tenants in the mall. These clothes were picked, mixed and matched by the designers. The featured brands were Nike, Debenhams Artwork, Promod, Tretorn, Parfois, Bambu, Mags, Soul, Blue Inc. London, Nautica, Ellesse, Sneaker club and Bauhaus.

 This next set of photos show the designs of the Davao Elite Fashion Group. Each designer really showed how crazy their minds are with these eye candy designs!

Viewing over 50 designs, it definitely was a learning experience for me as a fashion blogger and lover. A new year always means new themes, or in their words, "a new hue" for fashion. I am very excited to try out what's in store for the fashion world this 2013, and being in that show yesterday was a great start.

Congratulations to everyone who made the show successful!
