Hey everyone! Those who have me on Twitter might have seen a few plugged tweets here and there about Collection PH's giveaway. I've been seeing this sponsored page on Facebook quite a number of times and randomly joined one of their giveaways.

About
The UK’s most fashionable makeup brand is finally in the Philippines!
DescriptionSassy, fun, and confident, UK-based Collection is the go-to makeup brand for the fiercest fashionistas. Be it the latest eye colour or the hottest lip tint, we deliver up-to-the-minute makeup trends at affordable prices so that you can Own It, Work It, and Love It any time.
Fast forward to earlier this week: the lovely Bea of The Dalaga Project caught up with me via email and invited me to do a work-related gig- ooooh how perfessional! Meg online is doing a feature on Collection's Philippine launch and she decided to contact several beauty bloggers and have them give their take on Military Glam.
EDIT: I re-read our emails and this is actually for Meg's 15th Anniversary party (which is a tie-in with Collection Cosmetics PH.) Military Glam is the theme of the party. Sorry for the klutziness!
Of course, I had to play around with the makeup before constructing my look. I tuned out Bea's introduction of the brand as I played with the makeup- that's why my intro is just a copied segment from Collection's Facebook page. My faves are:
And now, to let the creative juices flow. My take on Military Glam is a very couture black mask, inspired by anti-shine face paint. For the lids, I did a simple gradiation inspired by camouflage colors: black, green and tan. I gave the cheeks a hollowed out look and gave the lips a nude wash to further intensify the eyes. The result:
Forgive my drunky face. I just spent a relaxing day having my nails done and wasn't quite out of it by the time I met up with Bea.
Liz of Project Vanity and Martha of The Beauty Junkee were also in on the military action. Here's a sneak peek of what they did:
AAAAAAnd I just realized how lovely they all look and I'm just one big ball of frump. Oh well. You live and you learn. I'll be more glamorous next time :P Meanwhile, head on over to iammeg.ph to get a closer look of these lovely ladies' looks!
I had so much fun doing this! I never get to create a lot makeup looks as I'm mostly devoted to subscription boxes and product reviews. Also, my first foray into doing a makeup look didn't really end well. Regardless, I wouldn't EVER pass up a chance to meet one of the funniest and coolest bloggers I read! Sorry I couldn't stay for too long, and I hope I see you around :)

| Bea's "work" face |
Of course, I had to play around with the makeup before constructing my look. I tuned out Bea's introduction of the brand as I played with the makeup- that's why my intro is just a copied segment from Collection's Facebook page. My faves are:
- Queen of Hearts Lipstick - a very basic Crayola Red. The swatch transferred even after an hour of wearing it but it wouldn't come off under hand-washing. Nonetheless, I still love how bright and bold it comes off on my skin.
- BB Secrets BB Cream - sooo lightweight and blends quickly. It gives medium coverage but I'm not sure if it's buildable into anything heavier; I just did a quick swatch.
- Lasting Color Gel Liner - soooooooo creamy and colors intensely. I went crazy with this one in my look.

- Cover & Go Foundation and Concealer Duo - AWESOME CONCEPT! The concealer is housed in the flip-top lid of the foundation tube. The foundation didn't quite match me but the concealer matched me perfectly :P
