Take it to the Beach!

The last few weeks have been pretty rough, and I'm in need of a makeover! Feel like I'm starting to look old, yikes! I've decided to enter Ms. Yaya's Take it to the Beach contest for a 'lil bit of fun :) This is the first 'look' contest I've ever joined, and I'll probably not win, hehe, but hey it perked up my mood and gave me a chance to play with my mmu and pigment samples.


My inspiration photo is of a sunset that I took a couple of years ago, while on a vacation at a beach in Anilao, Batangas. Oh, is the inspirational photo supposed to be of a certain look? :)


I used Glittersniffer's eyeshadow in 24k (pictures can be clicked to enlarge).


Tried the different settings on my camera.





I'm sweaty (you can actually see the beads of sweat on my face) and flushed in these pictures 'cause I went to the upper floor of our house where it's really sunny- and really hot!
