Scaly
Friday, November 9, 2012 at 7:51AM I don't get a lot of opportunities to wear this glam sequined jacket, but when I do, I make the most of it! Last night's MAC event was the perfect occasion. I paired it with a sequined top since they sort of match, as well as pumps with shimmery gold heels.
Promod jacket / Forever 21 skirt and top / Louis Vuitton Alma / Shoe Etiquette pumps
I had meetings before the event so I didn't have a clutch with me, hay. I'm not fond of carrying big bags in evening parties but it's hard to be prissy when you don't drive and get to bring a change of clothes/bags.
For the makeup I thought I'd try heavily lined eyes in saphire + red lips (MAC Russian Red of course). Would you guess that this is just black eyeliner topped with eyeshadow? It looks so solid! I used the Estee Lauder pencil in Onyx and then smudged it with a sapphire Guerlain eyeshadow (it has no name, it's part of a palette). Then I added a bit of silver right in the middle of the line for more dimension.
Tip: to keep the eyeshadow from smearing underneath and on the crease, apply matte eyeshadow/powder all over your lid and under the eyes. I assure you, the pigment won't transfer. ;)
Tucked the shirt, it looks better but it's not secure
Sorry for the blurry pic but it's the only one I have that shows the shoes. Love them! The color (red/gold) makes it perfect for holiday parties. :D
Anyway, gotta go! Early morning meeting uuugggh. Will be back later to talk about MAC's holiday collection.

Dont have the guts to wear a full-sequined piece. You pulled it off so effortlessly :)
loved loved loved the jacket! i'm a girl who wears black, blue, and gray most of the time, but can appreciate the fantabulousness of that pretty pretty jacket. AND that blue cat's eye. you really do rock, liz, which is why I've been so terrified to say hi whenever I've seen you 'round Greenbelt once or twice, hehe. =)
Oh gosh, I love the LV bag! :D It looks so nice with you!!! hihi!
I think I saw your jacket somewhere. I'm not sure if I saw it at Forever 21 or at Bayo. Maybe what I saw was something similar to that. Sinukat pa nga ng mom ko, and she was planning to wear it at a big event too! But she realized it was too "bagets" for her. :P
I love your outfit, and your eye makeup! They all matched perfectly! :D
Nice outfit! Love the skirt. I wish i can wear something like that kaso lang ang hirap when you're commuting. The eyes too! Hehehe What eyeliner, makeup remover and cleaning method would you recommend for sensitive eyes? My eyes got irritated, sobrang dumi daw ng lidsko according to my doctor so she told to stop eye makeup muna but of course, i cant help it, nakakamiss eye makeup. :) thanks!
can i just say that you have a gogeous pair of legs? im serious. you could pull off skirt, shorts and dresses easily and look good. (so envious) and i just really love the way you line your eyes. so perfect. i have long way to go in lining my own eyes but im getting there i know, thanks to you :)
Your entire look it so stunning. I especially liked the blue-silver-red combo. Very Americana!
I'm the opposite with you when it comes to bags. I like them big. I'm too big a pack rat. Hahaha!
I think Promod has this jacket, Im quite sure because Ive been eye-ing it for, what, two mos now? Hehe. Still havent decided to purchase bec I dont have any upcoming event I could wear it to. But who needs a reason, right?
PS I LOVE MAC. Cant wait for your review of this collection, and I hope you could compare it with the other MAC faves! Thanks!
Hi everyone! Thanks for your comments :D Always appreciate reading bits of insight from you guys.
@abbykins Anuba say hi! I love meeting readers! See you around ha ;)
@Becca I think you'll love the Bioderma solution from Digital Traincase. Super ganda niya, cleans well, and feels just like water. What I do is I use that to remove eye/lip makeup, then an oil emulsion to melt down face makeup (Shu Uemura cleansing oil), then finally a pore-cleansing facial wash (Kiehl's Rare Earth).
@Jen Oh no you just reminded me - I got this jacket from Promod! LOL! I thought Ever New. I just keep remembering I got it in BHS Central and then Ever New is right across Promod. Haha. But yes this is the same jacket you've been seeing.
Unfortunately I didn't get any items from the holiday collection, but I will share the information / photos I have. :D
@Liz: Looks good on you! :)
