TSW Spotlight : Janica Buhain

TSW Spotlight : Janica Buhain
Make-up Enthusiast and a Beauty Blogger


It's a bum to still not have collaborated with this living Barbie. We are both make-up enthusiast but in her case she just do it for beauty blogging, and I had to do it for business. ;)) She's very talented! She was a former student in my college which is the College of Fine Arts in Design, and she majored in Advertising, but I forgot why she had to transfer to another school. I wish I could spend time with her often :( I can't wait to lay my brushes on her delicate face, and I'm sure that any make-up look would look good on her.


Just recently Pyonghwaa on Youtube, had a contest, for who could be the best that could do an Asian inspired make-up tutorial and luckily and out of talent of course, my friend Janica won the contest! Here's the entry Janica submitted followed by the announcement of the winner! Enjoy!


Don't you just love the smooth background music? One thing I hate about make-up tutorials is having to play it up with a rattling background music. For something as delicate as our face, the music should gel together. I love how this video tutorial was made, SIMPLE, good music, and you can really learn from it. Every make-up used was either drugstore or locally made. Affordable but stunning!



Here's when Pyonghwaa announced that Janica won! Congrats, babe! I hope you make more make-up tutorials. Don't forget my request! You know itt!

TSW Spotlight: ANCHO PONCHO

ANCHO PONCHO
The Girl with a Studded Soul


I have been eyeing on this babe for quite some time already and what catches my eyes the most is her uniqueness and creativity on her looks, her sketches and her designs. She's so hipster, she turned triangle! Kidding :> She's this Asian chick who owns a lot of apparels with studs and/or metal chains. She has long black hair and it bedheads naturally! Here are some of her every days and her ever so famous DIYs.

HER LOOKS:

Don't you just think she's awesome?!
I give this babe:

Perfect 5 Vixens for being too awesome!

The Shoe-Whore's Spotlight : DANIELA COROMINA

TSW Spotlight : DANIELA COROMINA
Urban Photography












A little something about yourself:
My name is Danee Coromina. I'm a 20 year old fine art's student of the University of Santo Tomas, Manila Philippines. I'm a girl in love with patterns, dull colors, and music. I love getting out of the house, exploring what's out there to see. Sponteinity thrills me. I believe that there is no time to lose in life so why waste your time on nothing? :)


Where did you study photography? 
I had my first camera when I was 7 years old. It was a normal Fuji film camera. It was even panoramic! But after a while, my interest 
wore out and I focused on other things. When I turned 15, I asked for a camera as a birthday present. It was just a simple Kodak digital camera until 

it had to die on me :(
I learned the technical side of Photography in College. We had a year of Photography class. This helped me get into the said activity more.

Who or what influenced you to become a photographer?
I cannot particularly pinpoint who influenced me into Photography, but ever since a teenager, I've always been fascinated in beauty and fashion shots in magazine pages.

Although the following Photographers:

Melissa Rodwell 
Boris Ovini
Gavin O'Neil
Zenna Holloway
David Slijper
Mark Librodo
Filbert Kung
Tim Serrano
and so many more never fail inspire me in what I want to do.

Do you have a favorite photograph?
I have tons of favorite photos. But as of the moment, my most favorite would be Zenna Holloway's underwater shot, particularly:

What do you enjoy most photographing?
The preparation is when you want to think of the extremes. You plan having at least one winner shot in every shoot you make. The conversations with the models, your team. The impromptu make-up and hair, the out of the box poses.. All of that to me is exciting.
The outcome is the part when you reward yourself with a handshake. When you think that what you have done is good enough, and you friends and models say you did well, be proud and challenge yourself for more shoots and practice. Practice wouldn't be an option of regret, ever.


Do you have a special style in your photographs that can single you out like strokes in a painting?
As of now I can say that I am still seeking for my style. I'm on my way to learning more in Photography. Whenever I think of this, I get so eager in holding my camera to be able to shoot some more.


What can you advice to people who wants to try out photography?
Go for it! If you have the opportunity of owning a good camera, make use of it. Learn the settings and what you can do. I tell you, it can do so much. 
Don't limit yourself to what you think everybody knows. Think out of the box and keep shooting. Explore all the fields of Photography as much as you can. No one's stopping you! There are so many things unnoticed by people, show it to the world through what you love doing. 
Each one of us has a talent to be proud of. Lets not brag about what we do, but instead, share it to others. And lastly, love your camera as it will love you back!


What can you say about having to be featured in TSW (The Shoe Whore)?
I am thankful to TSW for featuring me here! Its heartwarming and flattering to be asked about what I love doing. I hope I was able to share a bit of inspiration to TSW's subscribers! And by the way, this blog is very interesting especially in terms of Fashion (another thing I love). 
Please do check the posts every now and then!


Motto in life?
"Be & believe in yourself. Do what you love because you chose it."

I'm a good friend of Daniela Coromina, and we share the same insights about art and music. And not to mention how we hated the politics that's happening in our college. Her shots are awesome! Check her blogs [below] to further see how this sweet young lass makes wonders.
