Hey everyone, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, I know I did. Today I am here with a review which I hope helps you if you are seeking for a good set of sculpting brushes, but you do not want to pay an arm and a leg for them. I purchased these brushes on their Cyber Monday Sale and have been using them ever since. Check out my thoughts:
Until Next Time,

Anyways, I am here today with my best mascara review, I never thought I would love a mascara that much as I love this one, so I hope you enjoy my review 🙂
Until Next Time,

Hello everybody, happy almost Friday everybody, this week was very busy for me, month end is comming and you know it can drive someone cray cray. Especially since I am training someone (more on that on other post) Anyways, I have a little time off so I want to talk about a product that I started using a couple of weeks ago. Honestly in the past I had some trouble finding a good face moisturizer. I know it is important to moisturize your face day and night, but as I always have had oily skin I must admit I sometimes tend to skip that step from my routine.
However, when I do use moisturizers I tend to use the same for morning and night, I don’t know why but I really feel it is a hassle to have night and day cream, it’s just too much for me, especially if I am running from one way to another. So a couple of weeks I received the Aveeno Positively Radiant Targeted Tone Corrector complimentary of Influenster for testing purposes.
Let’s be honest, I know this is a tone corrector moisturizer (and I do have some hyper-pigmentation), but in there it says you can use it day and night so I was sold with that. The product is a bit expensive around $16.00 in the drugstore and comes with 1.1fl Oz. Scent is like mostly Aveeno products, if you had use them you’ll know what I am talking about. Product comes out lightweight and a little bit goes a long way, I normally use a pea size amount, and have been using it constantly day and night for the past 2 or 3 weeks.
Now, I honestly have not noticed a big change in my hyper-pigmentation, but this moisturizer is the bomb.com, let me explain why, basically it has not broken me out in any way, and does not make my makeup look shinny crazy during the day. This is a very big deal if you have very Oily Skin and are in the middle of the summer in a hot humid weather. So YES I love this moisturizer, maybe it’s not why because it was designed for but hey it works great, so I really appreciate receiving this little bottle and definitely will repurchase when this is over, which I guess will not be soon cuz I still have a heck load of product left.
Have you used this moisturizer? If so what you thought about it?
Until Next Time,

Traveling this week to visit my family…Yay!! I am very excited and happy every time I get to see them. Anyways today while doing my Packing list I thought about talking a little bit new products I’ve been using for the past couple of weeks.
First of all let’s start with Kat Von D Lock – It Tattoo Foundation I purchased this in exchange to my Laura Mercier – Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free which I must say did not cause a big of an impact for me, and makes me prefer way more drugstore brands besides this one, I also thought it was overpriced for the results it delivered. As I was returning this one I thought I would try the Kat Von D foundation because I heard great things about it, especially for Oily skin.
Well I got it, and let me just say this, foundation is very full coverage, I’ve never seen or tried something like it, a little bit goes a long way and photographs really nice, the package comes with a pump which is always something I give big kudos to because it is easier to apply, and it comes with a lot of product (30 ml), price wise is not that expensive as other brands at $34.00 USD and If you have oily skin this would work for you.
Now, you must be shocked of my next following words, I will be returning this product. It is not that the product is not a love, and it really is a great foundation, but I consider is too heavy for me, I tried applying it with my beauty blender to give it a more sheer appearance, but all the time it looks as if I am wearing a lot of makeup, which for an office employee that might give a different impression lol…
This is NOT a bad foundation in all means, and it did work for my oily skin, I was not a shiny ball after a long day, even after going to the gym. But it’s just not suited for me. However it depends on what you are looking for, as I said it looks great in pictures, but in person I look like wearing makeup, lots of it.
The next product I have is from Clinique OMG this is freaking cute, I saw it and fell in love, you know how much I love blush, so they released new blushes with great colors they are called Cheek Pops I abstained myself in only getting one so I purchased Berry Pop which is a beautiful color I love it pigmentation is very good they are not chalky and you can really build the color up.
And the last thing I have is my new love, my must desired for years Tory Burch flats, these things men they are expensive, but are so beautiful and look so nice with everything. The perfect flat for work, going out, hanging with friends, etc. I am still in the process of breaking them in to see if the theory it’s true that they will become the comfiest pair of flats ever. But so far so good I love them and have been wearing them nonstop.
Until Next Time,

Hey everyone, I cannot believe this is the first time in 2 weeks that I am calmly sitting in bed writing, also this is the first time I open my laptop…yes month end came again and work was hectic. But I am here today with this much waited review, which if you follow me on YouTube you would know has been up for a couple of days now.
Anyways, I didn’t want to miss a chance to show it right here so sit tight and enjoy!!
Until next time!

So I have been noticing that the last couple of month’s drugstore brands have come with amazing lip products. As you know I am currently at Quito, but I had a week off and went to the States, of course I had to make a trip to CVS and Walgreens.
Today I wanted to share with you these products I got and give you my thoughts on them.
NYX Butter Gloss in Tiramisu. In my trip I discovered that you can get NYX in Target now (YAY!). So this is a neutral gloss, very nice color with a nice vanilla scent and shiny. It does not dry my lips at all which is something I really like from NYX products. Downside, this is not a long lasting product so you would have to re-apply several times a day.
NYX Butter Lip Balm in Ladyfingers. I LOVE this product; it reminded me of the dollar scented lip balms my mom used to buy me from the AVON catalog when I was a child. It has a fruity scent and it is colored. It comes in several colors, I love it.
Maybelline The Elixir in Fuchsia Flourish. I believe these are Maybelline’s interpretation for the YSL Glossy Stains, may I say that this product is something unique, it is glossy and it does have staying power. When I first applied it I must say I felt the product being a bit sticky (which is something I don’t like that much) but the color payoff and the glossy look made me feel very satisfied with this product. Now the applicator is something very similar to the YSL ones.
Revlon Matte Lip Balm in Showy. Revlon did it again, they never cease to amaze me, these balms are GREAT. First of all it has this minty scent which I adore from Revlon products. Second of all it is moisturizing, you know how matte products tend to be drying? Well this is NOT dry, it lasts long time and color payoff is amazing.
Revlon Lacquer Balm in Vivacious. I love the word Lacquer (sounds so fancy lol) this is the perfect Christmas Red Lip Color, the picture doesn’t even do justice to this vibrant red which I love. It is an amazing color, I really recommend you to get this while you can.
All in all I am happy with my lippies, and can say that I am really impressed that drugstore products keep creating great quality products at half the price of High End products.
Have you tried any of these? If so what were your thoughts?
Until Next Time,
xoxo
So last Friday was one of those days I woke up and wanted to do my hair and put effort on my makeup for work LOL, I know that should be every day right? Anyways, I remembered that I purchased this Dior Lip gloss that I just been loving guys so so much, you have no idea how how much I just love it.
So today I just wanted to show you how it looks, I basically did a “neutral” Smokey eye with some liner, I straightened my hair, but my favorite thing here is the lips. Now I purchased this one as a gift from me to me (because you know Dior is expensive), but I don’t regret it a single bit, this product is not sticky at all it has some shimmer that lasts even when you don’t have any more color on your lips it does not dry your lips at all and it gives them a POP of color that I don’t get with any other of the lip glosses I own. I carry it everywhere I go.

So this is me without Lip gloss only a bit of my Burt bees lip balm:

And this is me using Dior’s Addict Gloss in Diablotine:

Do I approve?? Hell yeah I just love it

Have you Used This Product? What do you think about Dior Products?
Until Next Time,

So today I have a bit of a comparison between 2 products I had the chance to try these past few days. These are Kind of New to the Makeup Community, so you could consider this a first impressions/review.
The first one comes from Maybelline you know how much I love their color tattoos so I was pretty excited when I saw a display of their new Pure Pigments; I thought what a great idea especially because most of the colors are similar to their color tattoos. Well I picked up two colors Never Fade Jade and Barely Brazen but, when I first swatch them, well you can see it for yourself, the emerald color (Never Fade Jade) looks ok (not that fancy as I was expecting) but the Barely Brazen color is just nothing (only glitter). Maybe I set my hopes too high, but I did not like them. Another thing that I don’t like is the packaging you have to literally hit the small package in order to get product out of those tiny holes, but I am guessing that if I carry that thing somewhere all product will spill and will make a mess (just saying!). Finally these are freaking expensive I think they are almost $6.00 USD which for me does not cut it. Sorry Maybelline I do love your color tattoos but these things are preposterous.

Now on the other side of the rainbow I found this little product from NYC it is called Sparkle Eye Dust in Topaze Rose. This is basically loose eye shadow in a stick it is amazing and I just love it, it comes with a sponge applicator which makes things very easy, to avoid any fallout I go first with a cream eye shadow and then apply this. I love their pigmentation alone it is just amazing, color is very pretty, and they are so inexpensive less than $3.00 USD. This product is compact so I can carry it everywhere I want without worrying if the loose shadow will spill all over.

So if I had to pick of course I chose NYC inexpensive, easy to apply, good packaging, and great pigmentation. Sorry Maybelline but the pigments suck.
Until Next Time,

I LOVE painting my nails, so for a couple of months I had these nails stickers I received from Kiss, I got them as a price when I won a challenge from Influenster, but really was in the fence of trying them on, in the past I tried the nail strips from Sally Hansen and I must say I really didn’t like them.
So the other day I wanted something edgy and thought of giving Kiss a try.
|
Now, I don’t know if I have become more skilled doing stuff to my nails because these were pretty easy to apply, I just filled my nail a little then just peeled the sticker and placed it in my nail.
 
|
I just did an accent nail because the stickers are a little bit flamboyant for my taste and just went with one of my favorite Rimmel nail polishes Pink-a-Boo
|
I loved these because they were easy to apply, no need to wait for them to dry and I have had them for 4 days now and just a little bit chipping in my right nail (but I admit I did house shores), the only thing though is that I only wished they had more designs like the Sally Hansen Do.
So if you are looking for something quick to glam up your nails, give these a try.
Until Next Time

Hey everyone so I am back on my reviews, I have a lot of new stuff to talk about and I was pretty excited to find these on my drugstore the other day. I am talking about the Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer, now they were released in the UK quite some time ago and now they came to the States, but they renamed them to Show Off Lip Lacquer, I was unsure at first that they were the same, but then I saw the display did say Apocalips (weird right?).
Anyways, I purchased two lip colors for the sake of this review the first one Apocaliptic a bright magenta color and Celestial a more neutral tone. Rimmel claims that this product has the intense and rich color of a lipstick enhanced by a smooth satin shine, ultra-intense, ultra-comfortable- it lasts all day. Packed with pure color pigments, lusciously creamy, conditioning formula promises a never-before combination of color, shine and comfort that last and last.

Now for the sake of this review I applied both of these colors and proceeded with my normal activities of the day.
Using Celestial Using Apocaliptic |
First of all these are dangerous, if you are looking for an easy application on the go this won’t give it to you because you have to be very careful when you apply them (especially the bright colored ones).
These are full coverage they are not joking. If you were expecting a tinted lip gloss let me tell you this is like a liquid lipstick.
Product is completely transferrable, after a couple of hours that I applied this product it was lunch time (and I had to eat) so this buddy got all over my food (and my chin) I was eating a sandwich and my bread had lip color all over it.
On the other hand as the product doesn’t dry, your lips won’t feel dry either.
Let me say that I’m still on the fence playing with them, if I had to pick I would go for the neutral colors only because they are easier to apply and you don’t have to be THAT careful when you apply them (and eat with them). But, if you really want a BRIGHT and VIBRANT color this product will give it to you, you just need to be very careful and have a mirror close to you.
Now for the people who are in the run and have no time for checking in the mirror (honestly who does), I would not recommend it because honestly I ate and had lip color all over my chin which is not something I would enjoy.
Has anyone used these so far? Did you like them?
Until Next Time,
xoxo
