So... How About an FOTD??

Hi all you beautiful people!

Okay, I'm just gonna pretend as if I there was no long monthly gap between this post and the previous one. ( I was gonna say that I've been busy, but that started to sound a little too cliche).

Anyhoo, here's an FOTD that I came up with last Sunday. There was this family gathering, a semi formal one and it was held in afternoon so I decided to go for a not-so-dramatic-sort-of-natural look. Although nothing looks totally natural when you're wearing liquid foundation. And when with so many people not wearing make up around you, your makeup will always stands out. Yeah, that happens all the time in most of my family events but that never stop me from wearing so many make up. LOL.

I finally got my hands on Fyrinanne Pixie Epoxy. I was so excited about this product. This is only the second time I'm wearing this product and I think I made a mistake applying it underneath a matte eyeshadow. It supposed to work as a 'glue' for eyeshadows with shimmery and especially glittery finishes, so that you don't end up with eyeshadow and or glitters all over your face. But I think you can just skip Pixie Epoxy when you're wearing matte eyeshadows. As you can see, my crease color doesn't blend really well with my highlight color. Oh well, next time I'll do better.


And here's something that I don't usually do, I'll end this post with an OOTD.

Graduation Day (Picture Heavy)

I went back to Jakarta last Thursday, since Saturday was my Graduation Day. I was so excited!

Me in the graduation robes. Green is the color of Medical Faculty.

Me and family getting ready before going to my graduation ceremony. All the ladies in kebaya. Pretty, huh?

Here's the hood. It's kinda Superman-like. Looks kinda weird tho, IMO.

And boyfriend was there too. He even took a day off from the hospital, so sweet of him.

My dad took this picture. It's supposed to be me when I received my certificate. But it went blurry. Oh well..

Me and family after the ceremony.
By the way, that red tube that supposed to be "my certificate" was actually empty. Haha.. It was of course just as a symbol.

After the graduation ceremony, me and family went to photo studio to take pictures. It's kind of a tradition. Although not every family do this. But hey, a thing like this, it doesn't happen twice.

Before we reached the studio, we dropped by at a coffee shop next to the photo studio for snacks. It was really embarrassing, walking around the coffee shop with my graduation robes. But I was still gonna wear it for the photo shoot and taking it off wasn't a practical thing to do. Especially with the hat pinned to my hair.

It takes about a month and a half until I can see the results of the pictures. So all the pictures above were taken by our own camera.

Afterward, we went for dinner at Ritz Carlton. The one in SCBD. And oh man, the place was breathtaking. It has the view of Jakarta. Seriously ladies, it's a great place to be proposed if you like romantic settings. Haha.. And the food was great too!

And that was the end of the day.

Neutral Pink

Okay, I have no idea what to name this FOTD. It's been a while since my last FOTD, I guess. I was having a family gathering last weekend and looking for not-so-over-the-top look. So I picked pink color for the 'theme' and neutral brownish colors on my eyes to avoid that boring monochromatic look.

FOTD

• Smashbox Photo Finish
• Mac Studio Fix Fluid in NC37
• Fyrinnae Powder Primer
• MAC Studio Fix in NC40
• NARS Super Orgasm
• Guerlain Meteorites Illuminating Pressed Powder in Rose Frais
  

By the way, I forgot to put on my concealer. I was at my grandma's house that weekend. It was awfully hot and by the end of the night, my undereye area looked horrible. It appeared darker that it actually is. Seriously, I'll never forget my concealer ever again!

Another stupid thing I did, I left my Talika eyelash curler in my apartment. I didn't curl my lashes.. so why even bother applying mascara on my super straight lashes?!

But on the other side, the rest of my face stayed flawless and oil free, thanks to my new found love, Fyrinnae Powder Primer. Keeps oils away and my makeup stayed matte for the rest of the night. Yippie!

and I'm ready to go...

My Birthday Dress

My birthday is coming and I'm about to celebrate it with my family.

So, my mom bought me a dress for me to wear on my birthday.. mm.. lunch. I picked that at the mall. It's from a local designer, Widhi Budimulya. I've been drooling over his collections since forever! Actually, I'm craving for the long dresses. They're so beautiful. But, since I'm looking for a dress that I'm going to wear for a simple lunch, I don't think a long dress is the answer.

Luckily, Metro Department Store is having a Big Sale and Widhi Budimulya's collections are on sale. Yippie! So, this is the dress:

I really love the soft color. But I still have a problem, though:

Taadaa....!!!

Haha.. the zipper is stuck there. But, no need to worry because the department store gave the designer's address where I can alter this dress for free. They said, it'll takes only three days. So I have to bring this dress there all by myself cause they have to take my measurement.

And another thing I need to do next is to create a look that'll match this dress. Wish me luck!
