Hi Ladies. Happy Wednesday! This week has been feeling like is finally Spring. Which I am not Complaining at all. I have my coat still hanging on my entry closet waiting till gets colder. Yep i said it. In New York you never know fifty degrees can mean 30. But so far not complaining these past days for using my J Crew puffer vest. I sure missed it.

 These past weeks i have gather accessories and other things here and there that are just on my mind. Products that I have either seen online or window shopped. For example the Elizabeth and James perfume that is on my Post today smells just lovely.

 Went to Sephora to buy nail products all of a sudden while i am passing by i smell the best aroma. I start searching and the White Square bottle it was. It smells DIVINE !!! i can't stop thinking about it and every time i go to Sephora i always spray some on me. Am i the only one that does that?

I have also been spying these Gorgeous Snakeskin Pumps by the brand Steve Madden. They are so HOT !!! I mean look at the sexy piece of shoes that will be great for this spring and summer on a tan body. 

I hope you ladies enjoy my products if you have any of these products please leave a comment down low I would like to know how they work in real life.

New Favorite Drugstore Products

Happy Friday  ladies ! I wanted to share with you gals my new drugstore products that I have been loving lately. I ordered these online and i simply couldn't wait until they arrived to try them. I got them a two weeks ago and since them i have been using them non stop. 

I am very picky with the products i purchase especially if its for my face. Due to having super sensitive skin. I decided to give it a try to the new Cetaphil Cleansing Cloths. I use Cetaphil products for my face and body and thought these would be great for removing my makeup or after the gym. 

I am in total awe about these wipes. They are soft, don't leave any residue,  it doesn't irritate my skin and is orderless. This products it is just like the cleansers it cleans your face and it leaves it soft.  The other products that i have been very hype about have been the Mabelline Baby skin pore eraser primer. I am a sucker for packaging . I already have the baby lip product and i love it . I said to myself why not try these. At the beggining i was a bit skeptocal due to that i have sensitive combination skin and this product was  clear, oily and it looked like gel. I applied it near my cheeks where my pores are visible i can say i like it is okay i don't think i will be repurchasing the product due to that i dont like the consistency of it. A product that i am happy that i purchase is the St Ives oatmeal scrub + mask. Is great i love it. I use it about 3 times per week especially after my workout. 

It leaves my face clean, without any residue and is great also for those days when you wake up and feel like your skin is acting up or is simply too oily. The other products i purchase were the L'Oreal  true  match concelear is great and very similar to my mac pro one and a color balm. I always carry It on my bag it moisturizes your lips smell great and it gives you that extra touch of glam. 

So what are your favorite drugstore products? Have a nice weekend !

My Everyday Makeup

highlighter / bronzing powder /  concealer / Mascara / brow pencil / mineral powder / eye liner

I am not the kind of Gal that wears heavy makeup everyday. In fact i don't use foundation unless i have a special event to attend or a makeup look that needs foundation. Or simply i am having a bad skin day which is rarely. 

From the moment i discovered makeup i have always used powder. A couple years ago Revlon came out with a mineral powder that contained coconut water. I felt in love with it and since then this has been my go to everyday face powder. 

I love that is loose and that you have the control to take as much as you can. Thank God I've never had acne problems only when that time of the month comes around a simple here and their zit. That is why i don't truly think i need that much makeup i want to look and feel like myself yet don't feel like i am carrying a couple of pounds of makeup. 

I decided to show you guys my favorite products that i use everyday and can say i have been faithful to them because simply why change if they work miracles on those mornings your dark circles have gone wild. 

Here i have seven products. the first is the concealer. After  I have washed my face, applied my face moisturizer and have let it dry i apply my concealer on places i need it such on my under eyes, around the nose and on my chin that's where i want to cancel the redness of my skin. 

The first time i tried FAKEUP by benefit was over the summer. I am going through my second one at the moment i can say it does more than the job it also moisturize the places you applied concealer. 

 I then apply my Revlon mineral powder all over my face and a bit extra on places i get super oily like my T Zone.

My ultimate favorite bronzer of all time. I am already hitting pan have used it for over two years. is by mac cosmetics is name it's name is Refined Golden.  

Eyeliner love that i can make the line as thick or thin as i want. This eyeliner is same as Bobbi Brown or Mac it does the job and it's smooth. I then apply my other 3 benefit products that i will say works miracles. It's the They're Real Mascara, Benefit Whatts Up highlighter and High Brow pencil.  

The brow pencil is perfect if you haven't had time to get your brows done. I just apply it under my brow and it conceals the are and makes it look brighter. I then apply my highlighter on my cheek bone and nose and any other place i need to. And for last the lipstick of the day which i left out because i change my lipstick almost everyday if not just a plaid nude color. 

Those are all the products i use everyday. Which are your favorite products for your everyday makeup?

Fall Makeup Favorites

Hi Ladies !! I hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend. Can you believe it November  is finally here? You know what that means that Thanksgiving is in a couple of weeks but any how. Lately I have been talking too much about fashion so..... I wanted to change it up a bit and talk about my favorite makeup products of this fall. As a person that categorizes herself as a makeup addict and lover. I have been switching up my makeup this fall. So here are my favorite lipsticks and makeup products of this season. 

New addition to my lipstick collection. It's the perfect nude.

3 Steps For A Bright Beautiful Face

        blush /  concealer / mascara


If I could ask for three wishes the first wish I would ask for would be to have a perfect skin. An Immaculate firm and illuminated face. And that in the morning they would tell me you have an impeccable face. But that always doesn't happen. Of course it depends on what you eat, how you hydrate your skin, if you use sunscreen and if you take off your makeup before going to sleep. Which I know sometimes were tired and we want to just lay in our comfy bed but is a MUST.  On those days where I have spent all night studying for an exam and I feel like I need a fresh face the next morning I just go through my three steps. It consist of  Concealer, Mascara and Blush. I cannot leave my home without these three products. these products made me have a nice morning face.


Mascara-  currently I am using the Maybelline Rocket Volume. If you notice when you apply mascara on your lashes that once you have applied one coat your eyes look bigger due to that the lashes are perky and curled. (of course if you use a lash curler which I recommend using one) This is a must I apply mascara about 2 to 3 times a day it makes me feel awake. 

Concealer- I basically cannot live without it, due to not sleeping well and having to wake up early in the morning I have dark circles under my eyes. I just slap on some concealer and WALA ! magically my dark circles disappear. Thank God who ever invented concealer. 

Blush- the last product I use is BLUSH, I believe that if you don't have natural rosy cheeks, just with a touch of Blush your face will look for awake and give you that natural look you just need a bit not that much.

Those were my 3 steps for a bright beautiful face.

HAPPY FRIDAY

BB Cream Fascination

I know probably all of you have heard of the famous BB Cream but I am the kind of person that loves makeup but doesn't like a cakey face and that is why ninety percent of the time I  don't wear foundation. I just use it for special occasion or if I really need it.  I normally apply almost everyday concealer and powder that's what on my face normally. But as I am always in the search of new products and after hearing people talk so much about the famous BB Cream. I decided to go on a hunt to try the BB cream of course that I did my research and these were the most BB Creams that had the best review. I went to the Bloomingdale's Bobbi Brown makeup counter I told the costumer representative that  I was looking for the famous BB Cream she smiled and said, "come let me apply it to your face". and while she was applying she was telling me that it has SPF 30 and that is basically like a tinted moisturizer but with more coverage and not heavy at all. After she applied it to my face I loved it, my face felt so silky and soft and it was not heavy at all I told her I AM SOLD.  I have used it a couple of times now and I love it definitely a good investment. Here are other brands off BB creams from 7 dollars to 40 depending on your budget give it a try I am sure you will love it.

What I love about BB Cream

- It's a light product

- It has SPF

- Moisturize your face

- Long lasting

-Natural Finish
