Marsala Color Of The Year

Happy 2015 ! It is finally here. Cannot be more thankful with God for the year 2014 and i am excited for what 2015 has prepared for me. A couple weeks ago Pantone announced Marsala Color of the year 2015.

 Leatrice Eiseman Executive Director of Pantone said Marsala enriches our mind, body and soul, exuding confidence and stability. Marsala is a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in
to its embrace

This color is beautiful it goes with any color skin and it attracts many eyes. I can't wait to get a couple accessories.  I really want to try the Pantone Marsala Lipstick. You can purchase it at any Sephora store.

I hope this new year bring many blessings and great opportunities.

Simple Summer Look

Hi Y'all as summer approach every year i tend to wear less makeup. If i do it's a minimal look. My skin is super sensitive to the sun and literally it is always itching that it's why most of the time i just wear my moisturizer and sunscreen. But.... when i do wear makeup i like to do a minimal summer look.  Yesterday I posted on my Instagram (@classylady) a picture of a simple summer look when i do wear makeup.  I decided to share with you gals the products that i used to create this look.

 

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.

Favorite Drugstore Beauty Products...

Hello girls, I hope everyone is enjoying the last days of August.  To tell you the truth I am ready for Autumn to arrive. Meanwhile I have fallen in love with a couple of beauty mostly drugstore products. A couple weeks ago I was with one of my Best friends waiting to get our eyebrows done and we had to wait about 20 minutes we decided to go to our a nearest drugstore. And since i have to buy something when i enter a drugstore i decided to get  a couple of new things that I have never have tried before . Such as the Aussie hair products. I usually use Moroccan oil or other hair product, but that day I was also having a bad hair day and I couldn't manage my curly hair. My best friend says, I heard Aussie products are pretty good. And that is where I decided to try the brand.

I went picked up the hair insurance and the leave in Mousse. I love the texture it gives to my curls. It doesn't leave your hair sticky or hard.  I am happy that I found new hair products that are amazing. I also tried for the first time the Rimmel London BB cream and Primer. It leaves my skin smooth and it gives  me a medium coverage which its what I want It also last all day. also I got them at 40% off. Gotta love the deals.

I also got a new moisturizer its the Estee Lauder Clear Difference advanced oil control hydrator it is great if you have oily skin it leaves it matte.  Its absolutely lovely even my mom has applied it a couple of times and adores it. And the last couple of things I got was the new Revlon "lash potion" mascara,  I have actually used it almost everyday in the month of August. Another good drugstore mascara.

 My last two products that adore is the new Maybelline Master Smoky eye liner. What I like about this is that you have 2 products in one it is a regular eyeliner but it also has a small sponge at the other end which can give you a smoky affect. And or last, a  my new MAC lipstick "honey love" is a beautiful nude that goes with any kind of makeup. Can't say no to a nude lipstick. 

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend !

First Birchbox Ever !

 

 This week I have been home due to that I injured my back on my way to my job. I didn't put mind to it and I ended up going to the Emergency room on Sunday how fun. I was in serious pain i couldn't sit or lay down or go up and down the stairs It was pretty bad after waiting I went in and the doctor  said I had an inflammation and I had to rest for 3 to 4 days without working out or going  to school. I decided today since i didn't have nothing to do to write a review on my first BIRCHBOX ever. I am so happy i joined I was like a little girl asking my mom everyday if my Birchbox had come. It finally came like 2 weeks ago I was so excited to open it. Out of all the products that it brought my absolute favorite is the new Nexxus Youth Renewal Elixir I am in love with it after applying it one day my hair looks more shiny and healthy. It is light and it smells delicious. I also loved the StriVectin- SD eye cream. I know that this sample will last me for a long time, you just have to dab a bit under the eye and massage it. I have notice a difference under my dark circles. so that's a win win.

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

Products That I am Currently Loving

Over this past month I have been loving a couple of products that I currently got and also products I bought a couple months ago. About a week ago I paid a visit to my local drugstore and I got the Nivea lips Butter in Vanilla & Macadamia Kiss. This has become my obsession; if I am not wrong I believe I apply it maybe 10 times a day. I know I am addicted. My lips are smoother which it's great because during the winter time I always get the dry chappy lips. Sorry for so much information but it is the truth. I am going to go back and stock up on some more. I also bought the Wet n Wild new collection that is under Fergie's name in Flossy Flossy, gotta love the sparkles, I love how it last long and how the nail polish is affordable which is great for us that are on a budget and don't want to spend over 8 dollars on a sparkly nail polish. The other products are the usual, my all time favorite Chanel lipstick in BOY, Revlon color stay liquid eye pen, Wet n Wild nail polish for only $1.99 what a bargain right? I also have my mom’s eyelash curler, sorry mom if you don't find yours but I like yours more than mine. Don't know what brand  it is, all I know is that it curls my eyelashes perfectly.

  The other night I was bored and had nothing to do, I went on the Bloomingdales website and this is what happen. I ended purchasing a Bobbi Brown blush in Pretty Pink 41 and a MAC lipstick named Hue. I love my two new makeup items. I am a total addict of nude lipsticks so here is a new baby for my collection and I mean look at the color of that blush, I love it. It just gives great color to your cheeks. They are great for my everyday makeup.

Typical Makeup Geek Vanity Table

I don't know if you girls make a mess when you are putting on makeup, but I do. although I am a really organize person and always tend to have my vanity table organize. Every time I apply makeup this is how it ends, I just don't know but every time I am applying makeup I have to have my small trash bin next to me to throw away tissue, blotting sheets and anything that is not suppose to be on my vanity. My mom says I am a mess when it comes to Makeup, well I guess she is correct. Do you girls also make a mess when applying makeup? If yes leave a comment.
