Help! Part Deux

Thanks for all the help you gave me dear bloggers, I really appreciate it. I'm down to these three choices, and I'll take into consideration all the comments you gave me.

Outfit Help!

It's my first non-beauty post, and it's a desperate cry for help.

I'm a fashion dweeb.

There, I said it. If you know me very well, you'd assume that I'd come to any event in sneakers. Or my red Astro-Boy/Ronald McDonald boots.

That said, I've scored an invite to Philippine Fashion Week. With my limited fashion sense and wardrobe full of kooky stuff, here's what I've come up with.

PLEASE HELP ME. Are these outfits okay for the event? Because I can't tell, REALLY.

I actually put the price of the whole outfit just for fun. These are all things lying around in my closet, purchased for random events in mind.

Please do be honest, and help me put together a non-fashion boo boo outfit. Thank you!

FOTD: My work face

I've revisited Monave Saturnina and I'm falling in love with it all over again. Monave gives an incredible doll-like effect on my skin (I'm not sure if I'm explaining it very well) that I appreciate especially on days wherein my skin isn't cooperating. I got a tan from walking everyday so it's not a perfect match, but it's not that bad that I'll scare kids off.

Maybe I've neglected Monave because of the amazing skin-finish of Lauress, or it may also be because I've been struggling with application of the heavy coverage foundie. Nonetheless, armed with some of my brushes and a little help from undereye concealer, I did my work-face for today (I can't resist - my my my work work face my work work work face).

The before picture shows my skin on a bad day - splotchy and uneven. I slept at 3:00am and woke up at 7:00am, so I think you can guess why my undereyes aren't at their best. Too bad I don't have a digicam, my phone's resolution isn't that great indoors.

Face:
Monave Saturnina loose mineral foundation

Eyes:
Laura Mercier Secret Concealer

Cheeks:
MAC Peachykeen Sheertone Shimmer blush
