Barbie & MyMaria

Girls, I believe that young or old, there's always a princess that lives inside each one of us. The first 10 years of a girl's life is spent playing with Barbies. The next 10 years are spent trying to look like one. I WANNA BE BARBIE. THE BEEYOTCH HAS EVERYTHING!!! Also, if you wear a blonde wig and make-up, then you're like a Disney princess, too. It is also essential that you wear a pair of blue contact lens. It somehow complements and perfects the whole thing. So here's my #MOTD.


For this step-by-step tutorial, I'd like to share with you how to achieve the princess look... or Barbie, if that's what you're going for. Here are the cosmetics that I used and most of them came from my awesome special edition AVON GlamourBox.


For the face, I used my new BB cream from AVON Skin Goodness in Nude as moisturizer/primer. I concealed my blemishes using Naturactor #140 and set with AVON Smooth Minerals foundation in Medium.


For the eyes, I only used 3 colors. Mary Kay mineral eyeshadows in Moonstone and Sienna plus Pink Berry (2) from Avon's True Color quad eyeshadow palette. I did my eyebrows using my ELF eyebrow kit in Medium and Make Up For Ever Aqua Brow #15, cleaned up using Mary Kay concealer in Light.



Then I made sure that the eyeshadows are blended, and to make the eyes prettier, I applied AVON's SUPERSHOCK MAX mascara generously to my poor non-existent lashes and popped in blue contacts from Fresh Looks. I also lined my lower lash line with the brown eyebrow powder from my eyebrow kit. I contoured my cheeks/nose with NYX matte bronzer in Light and for a healthy glow on the cheeks, I used AVON's Luminous Blush in Peach.


And we're almost done.


I picked AVON's Ultra Color lipstick in Hibiscus as it looks like the perfect shade of hot pink for modern princesses. The wig is something I got from our trip to Guam. LOL. Who buys wigs on vacation? I do! And it's not the first time because I also bought a really good ponytail hair extension in HongKong's night market. :) Anyways, what do you think?

I'm a Barbie Girl in a Barbie world. #NoFilter

Here's a composite photo of my BEFORE and AFTER makeup.

ACHIEVED!

And now it's time for selfies! Or you can just close this browser now... Tee hee.

Life in plastic. It's fantastic!

You can brush my hair.

Undress me everywhere (?) EEK!

Imagination, life is your creation.

Come on Barbie, let's go party!

Until my next makeup project! Thanks for visiting my blog! :)

OMG OMG OMG! It's my first GlamourBox and it's no less than the Special Edition AVON GlamourBox! Even the box screams glamour all over the place! When I got it 5 days ago and opened it, I realized that it felt like I'm holding a solid and sturdy iPad Mini box or some iDevice box from Apple because the box itself is made from high quality material! It's so classy! LOOK!

This box looks like it's going to last forever. You can re-use it all you want.

Alright, moving on to the unboxing proper... The first one that caught my attention was the BB cream! I am well-aware that AVON has an existing mineral makeup line since just I bought Avon Smooth Minerals foundation this summer, but it came as a wonderful surprise to know that they have a BB cream! I am so excited to try this. They sent a NUDE shade which I hope would be a match for my skintone (it also comes in a lighter shade) and also crossing my fingers that this won't break me out. I will try the Avon Skin Goodness Moisturizing BB Cream SPF20/PA++ in Nude soon and post my review after.


The second item that stood out for me during the unboxing of this special GlamourBox is the Avon Supershock Max Waterproof Mascara in Black. MAX is really the operative word here. The tube is SUPER DUPER GINORMOUS!!! It's probably the biggest mascara I have ever seen. I have about 10 mascaras right now and this is one HUGE son of a *bleep*... I can't wait to try it out.


I'm building a lipstick army as of the moment and it's such a welcome treat that the box contained not just 1 but 4 lippies all in all - one (1) sample size Avon Ultra Moisture Rich Moisture Seduction Lipstick in Red Kiss, one (1) sample size Avon Ultra Color Rich Mega Impact Lipstick SPF15 in Charged Cherry,  one (1) full size Avon Ultra Color Lipstick SPF15 in Hibiscus, and one (1) more full size Avon Ultra Glazewear Lip Gloss in Fiery Red!




And what's a beauty box without something to color your cheeks and eyes? Yup, they also included an Avon Ideal Luminous Blush in Peach and Avon True Color Eye Shadow Quad in Purple Pop. There are my favorite colors so I am definitely going to do a makeup tutorial and post #MOTDs using these. Watch out for those!





Aren't they just pretty? Moreover, I know for a fact that Avon is not just about cosmetics. I've been using Avon products since I was in high school! My aunt was an Avon lady and she was my mom's secretary until she passed away (may her soul rest in peace!), so I always saw her everyday except on Sundays. Up until I graduated college, I always had Avon items in my makeup kit because I would try and buy different products each month out of my allowance. In our household, my mom and my grandmother bought Avon products on a monthly basis as well. It was only when I started working after graduation that my aunt suffered a heart attack and unfortunately didn't make it and I started to explore the world of cosmetics and makeup to try other brands since I didn't know any other Avon lady to get my monthly beauty fix from.
