Impromptu Photoshoot: Vampy Red

On the first day of the month, the beloved and I got bored doing nothing on a bright and sunny day. To kill time, I slipped on this sexy red dress which I have never worn, changed my lip color to something close to red, and intensified my eye makeup to prep for an impromptu shoot with the beloved. He loves taking snapshots of me, but I never seem to work with him when he does so. It irks him when I goof around or act awkward around him; but really, I just feel uncomfortable having him take my photos.

Anyway, this shoot was done 3hours before heading to work. No, I didn't go to work in this daring minidress. Don't be silly. I can't even step out of our doorstep wearing this! Also, ignore the fugly shoes; those are my work shoes.

For this look, I ditched my fake tan and wore the darkest eye make up and lip lacquer I had with me. I don't really know the names of the shades I used for my eyes and lips as these are from a palette my beloved keeps in his closet in case I need a makeover.

Brace yourselves, dear readers. I do not mean to make you sick or anything.

Note: These photos are all raw. My beloved's photos never undergo post-processing. The flaws you see in these photos are part of who I am.

My favorite of all. (ignore the cellulite)


Boxer arms, baby.


Some very awkward looking puckers.

I should've cropped that bar on the right. Ugh. I'm lazy

My signature sly smile.


I kinda like this. Really.

I seriously need to go back to weighing 95lbs and refresh my modeling facility. It's been ages since I last did a decent shoot and now I can't seem to get my poses right. Or maybe it's just because it's my beloved behind the cam? Screw it.

@Nikki: Ayyyy... Thank you for commenting on my semi-smokey eyes. I can't do it right! If you look closely, they're actually not even. Haha. I need help from those who just recently graduated from beauty/make-up school. *hint hint*

Haha. Nikki, I was a model. Never a big time one, though. I'm kinda considering going back to it but I feel like it may be too late coz I'm aging! :(

Tish said...

@Kim: I was 95lbs. That was exactly a year ago. Now I'm about 10-15lbs heavier. I feel fat and I hate it. So starting Monday, Ima gon work hard on getting back to being 95lbs. Haha!

Thanks for the comment Kim! By the way, can you teach me how to do smokey eyes the right way? :(

Tish said...

@Wuschel: Boy do I love you girls. You always look beyond everybody's imperfections. Thank you for the compliment!

@Sassy Jadore: Thank you, thank you, thank you. My beloved bought that dress in February and I have never gotten around to wearing it coz I don't think I can pull it off. It took me four months to put that on; and I didn't even step out of the house wearing it. Haha! I don't have that much confidence yet. But thank you for the comment!

Tish said...

@Becky: Haha! That made me laugh --- "a beautiful way to kill boredom." We should do this more often, I guess. Haha! Thank you :)

@Donnarence: Girl, we should do a shoot together. Your shots are just so fierce. Thanks for showing some love!

What flaws? There are none! You look stunning!!^_^ That dress is killer!:)

RYC, thanks for the tip, I actually used that method for the Lulur soap which is also beaded, but I just find it inconvenient when I can opt to use other gentle soaps which do not aggravate my eczema and don't have any beads in them.^_^ I'm actually puzzled as to why the beads are there if not for exfoliating.X_X I'm glad VNM soaps worked for you and your cousins!:)

Your pictures do look amazing.:D

Crystal said...

Ida said...

Kaz said...

i LOL'd at "boxer arms."
95 lbs are you kidding? you don't need to lose weight. maybe you mean toning your body but not losing weight :D

Tish said...

@Soapaholic: Thanks dear. The dress is a killer, but I don't have the guts to go out and wear it. My gams are still scarred from freaking mosquito bites. :(

@Crystal: It's there, somewhere. You have to squint your eyes and look closer. hehe. Thanks for the comment!

@Ida: Thank you! Boy, my list of BN products to buy is getting longer.

@Nikkiz: Thanks sis. You're very sweet.

@ Kaz: You got me there. I'm actually gon start doing that in the morn. Boy I need to tone my soft spots... and I still can't wait to lose 15lbs. Hehe.

Abby said...
