Weekend FOTD/OOTD + Amateur Photoshoot

I was supposed to attend my cousin's wedding at Tagaytay last weekend, but because I decided to go at the last minute and we were already running late, my family left me behind. I just got done with my make up then, sans the mascara, which I could very well put on in the car, and was just about to get started with my hair when my sister barged in my room and asked if I was ready because my mom and brother were already waiting inside the car. I was like, "I still have to do my hair." Out of frustration, I told them they could just go without me. And off the car went. I felt a bit disappointed coz I was looking forward to getting all dolled-up and camwhoring at Tagaytay. My eyes swelled with tears coz I thought I was gonna be home alone on a Saturday while all my loved-ones were having fun. Good thing my beloved was there to take me at the last minute. So I changed into something more casual: a sexy off-shoulder top and skinny pants.

Here are some of the photos my beloved took last Saturday. He's not a professional photographer yet. He's still working on it. Unfortunately, he has a very uncooperative model. I don't know why, but I always feel shy when he takes my photos. I guess it's the same feeling actors feel when they work on a movie with their spouses. Oh well...

Spot the zit.

A semi-dreamy shot. I like everything about this shot, except for my fat arms :(

I was trying this "cool boyish pose;" just doesn't quite fit.

There she goes... There she goes again... Looking very coy

EDIT: I love the BB Cream that I got from Bare Naturals. For one, I didn't get any adverse reactions after using the product for more than a month. It's easy to blend and melds into my skin perfectly. It covers blemishes and dark spots just fine aside from evening out my skin; (please take note that I have none to compare this with as this is the only BB Cream that I have tried so far) all of that without leaving a white cast on my face (as seen in my photos). So I think I'm gon snag myself a fullsize of this BB Cream. (FYI: I used the 5ml sample available on Bare Naturals' website for about 6weeks or so, since a pea-sized amount is enough to cover my entire face.)

Even if you didnt do your hair, you still look fresh and pretty. The off shoulder top is very sexy!

Hi~
First, your hair looks gorgeous in this pictures! So long, yet it looks very healthy (love the shine) from root to tip! I'm trying to grow out my hair long...except I've got weak hair...I think...lol I would blame that for the lack of gorgeous shine like yours :T
Anyway thanks for your comment on the Korea Brands. I have not been to the motherland since I was in my single digits, and thats ages ago, so though I know a few brands, I actually didn't know at least half of what you posted! So it was a great help for me :)
Thanks a lot for commenting and educating me about the other :)

@Becky: Haha! Thanks for the comment. I put a lot of bronzer all over coz that was what I was aiming for. And as for my hair, I left it as it is. I wasn't in the mood to do my hair. :D

@Rasilla: Glad to know I helped. To be honest, I've never been to Korea. Matter of fact is, I've never been outside my homecountry. I guess I'm just so addicted to Asian products coz well, I'm Asian. Hehe. Asian products, in terms of skin care, work well on me. And Korea has a lot of good ones at relatively good prices too. Looking forward to finding out what you picked from the long list I gave you.
