Exiting News!!!

Hi girls!!!! I have some news for you guys. I have been dealing with a lot of stuff from back to school and I don't have enough time for blog and to upload video son youtube. I have finally come together and I have decided to do a blog schedule to be more active in my blog life. I will try to maintain the schedule and maybe there can be times where I can blog other days not in my schedule and if I do that is because I have the time and because I like to do blog posts and youtube videos. For youtube I can make a schedule because that take more time with the editing, and filming the video but I will not abandon my youtube channel.

Here's my schedule for this blog:

I will blog on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

So now that you know my blog days be sure to check on my blog those days to find out what I wrote. Also please check out my youtube channel and subscribe, I will appreciate it very much

Thank You
XOXO

Beauty Wishlist

Hi!! I think I haven't blog for a week and I'm sorry. I think I have to organize myself and set a day or days to blog and also to do and upload You Tube videos. But anyways, continuing with this post, I like trying new things and especially if I see that other people use them a lot. So, I decided to do a beauty wishlist. In this beauty wishlist I will show and I will like to have this beauty products before the 2013 ends. I know that most of this beauty products are a little old but I'm a newbie at beauty so I want to have them. And I want to have them also because they all have good review so I know there are good because I trust the reviews. Most of my makeup, like 95% of my makeup are drugstore makeup and in this wishlist I have high brand makeup so yeah, I'm willing to pay a little more for good and long lasting makeup. So here is my wishlist....

** I didn't realize that most of the beauty products are from Benefit and Urban Decay, hehe.


. 
1. They're Real Mascara from Benefit: I have been seeing and hearing that this mascara is perfect because it makes your lashes look perfect and voluminous. I only use like Covergirl or Maybelline mascara and they do a very nice job but I would like to try this mascara to explore other mascaras. I think this is a little pricey, like $16 dollars and maybe more but I don't care, like I said I'm willing to pay more for a good makeup.


2. Naked Basics Palette from Urban Decay:  So this palette has basic colors like the name says and I think it's perfect for traveling. I have like traveling palettes from Elf but it doesn't have like all the basic colors and matte colors. I'm looking forward to buying this palette.


3. Naked 2 from Urban Decay:  This is the palette # 2 from the Naked Palette and I think for what I have seen, that this palette is better and have more beautiful and neutral colors than the first palette. I would buy both of them but for now I will buy the most recent that is the Naked 2 palette.


4. Benetint from Benefit:  This product is I think the most wanted product that I would like to have because you can use it in some many ways, for your cheeks to your lips, and so on. I have one in like travel case that came in my July ipsy bag and it's already running out because I have been using it a lot. In my skin, it doesn't show a lot but I use it anyways because in top of it I apply a matte soft pink and with this my blush stays longer.



5. M.A.C. products:  I don't have like a specific beauty product that I would like to try from MAC. I really want to try at least one either an eyeshadow, lipstick, foundation, etc. I know this brand is a well, good, high brand that sells a lot so that;s why I would like to try their products.


6. NARS Bronzer in Laguna: I use an Elf bronzer but it's not a matte bronzer and for fall a matte bronzer is a good product to have and not only fall but also for common use and for a natural look. I've heard that this bronzer in this particular shade is perfect for all kind of skin tones and that's one of the reasons that I want it.


7. Taylor by Taylor Swift Perfume: This product I NEED TO HAVE IT!! I have the last two perfumes of Taylor and I need to have this one. She's one of my favorite singer no matter what people say about her and her boyfriends. I love her. I try or smelled a sample and it smells really good and different from the other ones. This perfumes smells like a younger, sweet and nice girl. I NEED TO BUY IT PRONTO , hehe


This is all my beauty favorites and I hipe I can get them soon specially the Taylor Swift perfume.

Any of you guys have this products? Do you like them?

Thanks. XOXO

Makeup Essentials for College

Hi girls :D So back to school season is up and this means you need to be prepare to go shopping. You go to buy school essentials like notebooks, backpacks, etc. Also yo go clothing shopping because you need and personally I need to buy new clothes to look cute, jeje, but you can't forget the makeup. Even if you don't wear a lot of makeup like me, it's still good to go makeup shopping. In this post, I'm going to show and talk about the most basic makeup essentials that I would use in college. If you are not in college, you can still buy this thing and use them because they are like basic makeup. You can go either drugstore or high brand makeup. Also I'm going to write about 3 to 5 makeup tips  that I do and I know that you will do them, if you do them already.

I hope you like this post and here it goes:

MAKEUP:

1. Basic Palette: You never can't go wrong with a natural makeup for college or even school. Using matte colors and brown colors can give you that natural color you want. A perfect pallete for this is the Urban Decay Naked Basic Palette but if you like drugstore makeup the Beautiful Browns Palette from ELF.


2. Eye lid primer: This is a must have if you're going with eye makeup. A primer helps your eye shadow to  stay longer and not break out. If you're not putting on eye shadow, just wear it and you won't have oily llids, that's what I do. Also there's drugstore and high brand primer. I really like the ELF primer and it just cost $1and for one dollar, it really works. ** I haven't use the Urban Decay one so I can say which I like better.

3. Eyeliner: For college, I really like to use a pen eyeliner or a gel eyeliner, sometimes I use both for it to stay longer throughout the whole day. If you want a more natural look,  just put a line but not to thick, close to the top lashes. I personally use the Scandaleyes Eyeliner from Maybelline and for gel eyeliner one from Forever 21 but you can use your favorite gel eyeliner.

4. Mascara: For a more complete look, apply some mascara to your lashes and you're done. You can wear black or brown mascara. I really like the Clumps Crusher from Covergirl because it extends your lashes and leave them without any clumps.

5. Eyebrow kit: Having well- defined eyebrows can make your face look defined and it accentuates your whole face. If you don't want to wear makeup, just do your eyebrows and you're ready to go. You can also use a eye pencil to do your eyebrows. For eyebrow kit use the ELF Eyebrow Kit and  it's only $ 1.

6. BB Cream: Use BB cream instead of foundation because it's more light on your face for college. Your makeup routine will be short because this have all protection products in one. The Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream is perfect and personally I really like it.

7. Powder: Set up your face routine with a powder. It can be your favorite powder. I recommend also to use a translucent powder and the best one I know is the ELF High Definition Translucent Powder. The translucent powder will keep your face matte and for pictures is perfect.

8. Concealer: To hide dark circles and to brighten up your face. Use a lighter tone for under your eyes and a tone more similar to your skin color to hide blemishes. There are liquid concealers and  cream ones. The Benefit Boing Concealer is perfect.

9. Blush: A non shimmery blush is perfect for back to school because it gives that glowy color on your cheeks but without looking like your trying to hard. Wet and Wild blushes are good because they're matte and are really pigmented.

10. Bronzer: Also use a non shimmery or a matte bronzer. You want to look like you have a little bit of tan but no to much. ELF Bronzer and NARS bronzer are the best bronzers I know.

11. Lips: Use a lip balm or stain. For college use a light pink color or a nude one. It can have a little bit of shimmer. Maybelline Baby Lips are a must have for this essentials or the Covergirl Smoochies.

Now for the tips:

1. Don't forget to moistirize your face before putting on your makeup.

2. Bring a small makeup bag with a few makeup products in case of an emergency and you need to re-touch your makeup.

3. Don't overdo your makeup for college. Try to look as natural as posible. If you like to have more makeup on your face that's fine also. Every girl has her own style.

4. Remove your makeup right away when you arrive form school.

That's all for this post. I hope you like it and I hope it helps you doing your makeup for college or school.

XOXO

What's In NOW: Overalls

  

Hi girls. I'm starting a new blog series called What's In Now. This series is basically telling you what is trending in the fashion world. I'm going to tell you a little bit of information about the trend and show you ideas on how to wear the trends and also where can you get them.

So this Summer 2013 and through this month of August the trend has been overalls. The overalls or another name for this, trousers, were used a lot in the 80s and 90s as a type of clothing to put over a top or shirt and now is been use in the same way. In the 90s, they were used as uniforms for work that's why they were made out of denim material. Now you can see them in different styles, material, patterns. There's also shortalls, overalls but shorter. And not to forget the skirt style. These overalls, trousers, shortalls, are attached with a front patch that covers the front area of the stomach leaving the chest area open or uncovered and they have also shoulder straps.

I have seen this fashion clothing everywhere from Las Vegas, California and here in Puerto Rico that I think I'm going to buy one before this trend ends and even though it end I'm going to wear them because I like them.

Now onto the outfits ideas: ( The photos are from Pinterest.com)




EDGY LOOK: Use a distressed overall to achieve this look. For more edgyness, don't put on both of the straps just one, like in the picture. You can add some accessories like a jacket to your hips, some colorful shoes and even boots.














PROFESSIONAL LOOK: Who said you can't wear overalls to work? You can and how? Well, just use a solid color for the overall and with a soft material. Use colors that are basic and are colors for a regular work. Put some high heels and a nice bag and you are DONE and FABULOUS.
**You can use this look for a job interview because this will catch the attention of the person interviewing you and see that you do have an eye for fashion.














CASUAL LOOK: If you're going for a walk, to the beach, and even shopping this look is good for that. Overalls or shortalls are good for this look but I prefer the shortalls just because they are more lighter and fresh. A natural makeup, some flats or sandals and a side handbag or backpack are the finishing touch for this look.
















CHIC LOOK: If you like to dress more chic, here's the perfect look on how to use an overall. Add a more dressy blouse underneath the overall. Add those dressy jewerly like a big necklace or earrings. Do a smokey aye makeup, put some heels and you are ready to go out.

FUN LOOK: For a fun look instead of use a solid overall or shortall, use a printed one. Mix the prints of the overall with a cute top.

VINTAGE LOOK: This look is perfect for fall because of the colors. To achieve this look to the max, use brown colors, fall colors. You can use some lace, leggings or some solid color see through leggings. Add some brown boots or brown oxfords to finish your whole outfit.















That's all for this post. I hope you like.

What do you think is another fashion piece that's trending now? Would you like for me to do a post about that?

THANK YOU

Disclaimer: All said here is my opinion and from my pretty head except the information about the overalls. I research overalls in google and mix them adding words of my own. :D
