Celebrity Inspired: Back to School Fashion Essentials

2011-08-15T18:09:00.000-07:00

Hey Divas (& Divos lol)... I'm back!!

So you know summer is ALMOST over, school is soon to be back in session. I remember as a child, I would get so excited to go school supply shopping. Well, now that my childhood years are longgg gone, I am now more concerned with my fall wardrobe. I was thinking of some back to school essentials that are a must!

DEMIN JACKET

For when it gets chilly... enuff said... lol

CUTE COMFY FLATS

Think about it... at school sometimes we have to walk building to building or room to room, we should feel comfortable. Not trying to kill ourselves in our favorite pair of heels. I know you wanna look cute girl!! This is why... I love Toms! Not only are they simple, cute and affordable... but every time you purchase from this brand a portion of the proceeds go back to those who cant afford a comfy pair of shoes! And giving back is always GREAT feeling!

NORDSTROM

BASIC BLACK BLAZERS

This piece can always be dressed up or down, pair it with some jeans and a basic tee... your good to go! I came across some great blazers on GoJane!

STATEMENT BOOK BAG

While searching I came across really cute ones on Urban Outfitters and Karmaloop (use CODE: BDOT8787 for 20% off entire purchase & free shipping)

STAPLE CARDIGAN

BASIC TEES

Picture it... you wake up late (alarm didn't go off) a plain solid tee paired with your cardigan & cute comfy flat...your good to go!!

So what are your thoughts? Is there anything you would add to this list of essentials? Leave a comment!!

Beauty Product Review: Neutrogena Naturals

2011-06-13T05:23:00.000-07:00

So I've been trying out a new face wash lately that I have fallen in LOVE with...that is Neutrogena Naturals! I was getting tired of spending so much money on face washes and getting none of the "results" they claim to offer. I came across the NEW line Neutrogena has out. I have always liked Neutrogena, but when I came across the lip balm and facial cleanser I figured I would give it a try. The packaging is clear and simple, it contains up to 50% post consumer recycled material (as it states on the bottle).

I have been using the lip balm, which contains Vitamin E and I must say I LOVEEE IT! It keeps my lips so moisturized for the longest time. The texture is smooth and not to thick. I use it before applying any lipstick and it does make the application of my lipstick much easier.

The next product I tried was the Purifying Facial Cleanser and Purifying Facial Scrub. I use the facial cleanser in the morning and facial scrub at night to exfoliate my skin. I think this would be a great cleanser for people that have sensitive skin, it is made with natural products with no harsh chemicals, dyes or perfumes. Some ingredients consist of water, glycerin, willow bark extract, salicylic acid, etc...its states the ingredigents and its sources on the back of the product. I don't consider myself having sensitive skin, but I do break out much easier during the spring and summer so this product is great for skin similar to mine. Since using this product I have noticed a slight improvement in my skin for example it doesn't get as oily as it normally does and it feels much smoother. The first time I used it, the 1st thing I noticed was the smell (it smelled really good). After using it, it truly felt like ALL of the dirt and grime (lol) was lifted out and off my skin (detoxified). It was wonderful! Its feels, smell and cleans wonderfully!! Oh may I add paraben free and not tested on animals! I do recommend this product to everyone!

Summer Leopard Makeup

2011-06-11T19:28:00.000-07:00

Hey divas!! I'm back with a fun makeup tutorial featuring my cousin Lindsay! Its an easy-to-do leopard look and I only used a couple products. I will list them below along with the 4 (yes 4 lol) easy steps...have fun with it!

PRODUCTS

1. Your choice of liquid eyeliner

2. Eye shadow of your choice to cover your eyelids & a highlight shadow

3. Another shadow to color in the leopard spots

4. Eye shadow base

STEPS

1. First, I applied an eyelid primer (E.L.F primer) all over the eyelid and up the temple.

2. I used L'Oreal Linear Intense liquid liner to do little leopard shapes and C's (some on the eyelid and up the temple)

3. I took a brown eye shadow and swept it across her HUGE (lol) eyelids and took a blue eye shadow and blended it into her outer V and up across the temple.

4. Lastly, I took a purple eye shadow and brown glitter cream shadow to fill in the C's.

I did do a little bit of contouring using my NYX blush in Taupe. As well as MAC Cream Colour Base in Shell applied it to her cheekbones.

I keep her face clean and added nude lipgloss (Revlon Super Lustrous in Nude Lustre)

I hope you try out this fun and easy look!! Enjoy!!

Louboutin Nails!

2011-06-02T18:16:00.000-07:00

Hey loves! So about 2 weeks ago I tweeted a picture of my Christian Louboutin inspired nails and got a lot of request & questions on how to do them. The steps are really easy... it all depends on how creative you get with your nails. I get my nails done every two weeks and have acrylic over my real nails and last time I went I decided to change the shape of my nails from square to rounded with a slight point. So when I thought of this concept , I decided to keep my nails simple! : )

WHAT YOU NEED

Nude nail polish (or any color you prefer)

Red Nail Polish

Clear Top Coat

Cotton Q-tip

Nail Polish Remover

Rhinestones, stud, Konad prints (anything decorations you prefer)

ring from Bakers from my cousin Lindsay

HOW-TO

The two colors I used were Sally Hansen Salon Complete Manicure in "Malt" and Essie in "Red Label".

I put a coat of clear polish and let it dry completely so I could get a even coat of my nude color in "Malt". (coated twice)

Then used my red nails polish in "Red Label" to create the "red bottom" look. (coated twice)

Lastly, I took a Q-tip with nail polish remover and went around the edges to remove all the "run offs". Volia!!! Beautiful nails you can rock anytime!!

You can get really creative and use chains, different colors (like instead of nude, maybe black?) or have some type of print on the nails (studs, rhinestones, etc)...you can do whatever your heart desires to make this look your own! So ladies (& gents) have fun creating this look!!!

Til next time!!

Summer is just around the corner! I'm the type of person as soon as I see a hint of sun on a nice day, I begin the hunt for a perfect pair of sunglasses to rock all through-out the summertime.

MAC & TARGET HAUL!

2011-05-14T20:43:00.000-07:00

Hi! I'm finally getting to posting my first haul! It wasn't much...but I have been buying things almost everywhere I go. I recently made my first order from CherryCulture.com and BHCosmetics.com. I'll be sure to post what I got sometime next week...for now hope you enjoy this little haul!

Just a heads up...this house has TERRIBLE lighting. Therefore after the first couple swatches shown I started to get irritated because in the pictures the color of the lipsticks were not coming out as well as I wanted. *note to self: start taking pictures during the day)*

BUT BESIDES THAT...

I didn't get much... but I have been wanting to try the Revlon Photo Ready Foundation (in 007 Cool Beige). It is a little bit too dark for my face complexion so next time I stop by Target I will be picking up a tad bit lighter shade to maybe mix the two foundations together. I really have not tried it out just yet...but I will post a review on it once I have. I like that it does have a pump so it doesn't get dirty so easily.

Left: Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Candy Pink

Right: Revlon Super Lustrous in Siren.

Let me just say the color pay off is GREAT! Cute bubblegum pink color & fierce orange color. Perfect colors for the summer!

*sorry the lighting is the worst!*

$16

Jemma Kidd Liquid eyeliner in Covert.

I gave into getting this Liquid eyeliner by Jemma Kidd. It is so vibrant and the prettiest turquoise color for this summer. I swatched my hand about 4 hrs ago and it still looks the same even after washing my hands twice already.

Sonia Kashuk Full-Lash Set w/ glue

I wanted to try these lashes out, usually I use Ardell lashes...but I figured I'd cut these in half and use them as demi lashes.

ONTO MAC...

I only purchased two things that I have been wanting to try out...

bottom half shows swatch

$16.50

Cream Colour Base in Shell.

I just couldn't resisted getting another illuminator and you can always use this as a based on your eyes when using shimmery shadows!

$14

Lipglass in Florabundance

This is a nice peachy-pink/nude color. I have been looking for a color like this to wear for everyday use.

$19.50

Pigment in Melon

Lastly, I purchased this pigment in Melon. I was watching Dulcecandy87, and she mentioned that it brings the prettiest glow to your face in pictures or when your out. So i figured I would give it a try! I applied this in the MAC store to the highest points of my face (i.e: cheekbones, temples, cupids bow and bridge of nose) and it automatically illuminated my entire face! This would look perfect on bronzed skin during the summertime.

Well I really hope you enjoyed this haul!

Hey everyone! First off, I wanted to apologize...I've been extra busy so I have not been posting much. But I'm back to posting! : ) This one is more on a personal note...

For Mothers Day I wanted to post something, but did not have the time to. I decided its not to late to write about something that I love... no not makeup or music... no not clothes or shoes...

I only thing that I love more than life itself is my baby Cam...

I never knew I could love someone so much. At times I never imagined myself being a mommy, but it is a true blessing.

On Mothers Day, I really did not do much... stayed in and in the evening we went to the playground. To me, Mothers Day is everyday! The moments we get to spend with our love ones should always be cherished. I wanted to show you some of the pictures of Cameron that I love.

Throw It Out Already!

2011-05-03T19:03:00.000-07:00

Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind when going through your makeup and how to tell when its time to through out your OLD makeup.

ENJOY!

TIPS

Concealer: Up to 12 months, no longer then 12

Powders/Bronzer/Blushes: Can last up to 2 yrs.

Pencil and lip liner: When sharpened regularly and sanitized (by dipping it into alcohol) before each use it can last up to 3 yrs.

Eyeshadow: Typically last up to 3 years

Brushes: Last until they've become worn out. They should be washed at least once or twice a week with mild baby shampoo or makeup brush cleaner (I use Sephora Makeup Brush Cleaner, $14 or E.L.F. Brush Shampoo,$3). Also, in between use a daily brush cleaner so it can eliminate some of the bacteria trapped in the bristles after your last use.

Foundation (this one is VERY important): An oil-based foundation can last up to 18 months. A water based foundation should last up to 12 months. If your oil-based foundation begins to separate its normal (thats what oil tends to do.) If a water based foundation begins to separate it is time to throw it out. Remember to always look at expiration dates (this goes for everything you buy). When using your foundation make sure to use a brush or sponge applicator and ALWAYS keep your fingers away from the opening of the bottle. The best types of foundations are the ones that have a pump, this allows less bacteria to enter the bottle.

*Reminder: When using foundation you should always use one for spring and summer (when your naturally darker) and one during the fall and winter season (when your naturally lighter).

Lipsticks: Should last up to 1-2 yrs. depending on how many times you use it. Experts say 4 yrs... (keep clean in between uses by dipping in alcohol).

Sponges and other applicators: Wash weekly and discard monthly.

Cleansers and Moisturizers: Throw out after 6 months.

Mascara (this is VERY important too): Should be tossed out after 3 months. NO ands, ifs or buts! : ) The tube can harbor a ton of bacteria.

REMINDERS

Toss away anything that has a change in color, consistency or odor.

Store all cosmetics in a COOL DRY place. Never keep products in your bathroom, where it can't be exposed to steam and water.

DO NOT share makeup with anyone. NO EXCEPTIONS.

I hope these tips & reminders were able to help you with your makeup cleaning!

PLEASE NOTE: ALL products were purchased with my OWN money. I am not sponsored.

PURPLE PROM MAKEUP LOOK/EASY EYE

2011-05-01T13:53:00.000-07:00

So Spring is finally here and what a better way to celebrate its arrival!? A PROM make-up tutorial featuring my little sister! For most of us, we all look forward (or use to look forward) for prom. Getting GLAMED up in our pretty dresses and getting beautified for an important night that will become lasting memories for years to come!

After a long weekend... I decided to spend my LAZY Sunday with my sister. We started playing around with the makeup I have...I ended up doing her makeup. I was not thinking about making a post at all... but I figured, WHY NOT? Its spring! These colors (pinks and purples) are perfect as a everyday flirty look...and best of all..a look for that smokin' dress for prom. I made sure not to use to much heavy makeup on her eye and a cute pink lip... and VOLIA! This tutorial is yours to try! Have Fun!

P.S. I used my own products and Sigma brushes...I am not telling my viewers you have to use the same products or brushes. Whatever you like feel more than happy to use them to create a similar look! :)

THE LOOK

THE PRODUCTS USED & STEPS

*in the order they were used*

Step one: I primed her eyelid all over (brow-bone, crease and waterline)

I'm using this E.L.F Concealer (it works wonderfully-its $1, can be found in target or on there website). You can use any primer you like typically when I go out, I use the UDPP Primer Potion, but being that I was only playing around I figured I would use this primer, which works exactly the same!

Swatches of the colors I will be using by BH Cosmetics

(from left to right: WS07, CM06, CM16 CS16)

BELOW: as the highlight I used WM16.

*you can use anything you have that is similar or whatever you may prefer* :)

(Top to bottom: WM16, WM07, CM06, CM16, CS16)

Step 2: Using a Short Shader Brush from Sigma (E20). I took the light baby pink color and applied it to her inner eyelid (not going above the crease).

Step 3: Using the same E20 brush, I used the purple (CM06-middle color) and applied it to the outer lid (sightly bringing it upward above the crease).

Step 4: Using a Small Tapered Blending Brush (E45), I took the periwinkle shadow onto the brush. Blended that into the crease towards the middle of your crease, you can extend it further toward the inner lid if you'd like (make a V on the outer corner of your eyes upper portion should be traced in your crease). BLEND...BLEND...BLEND!

Step 5: Using the same E45, I took a tiny bit of the CS16 and blended in a little bit above the crease and blended it down ward towards the crease (so it doesn't look so blocked-off). As well as, on her outer bottom waterline (bringing it halfway towards the middle).

Step 6: Taking a Sigma Pencil brush (E30), I applied a highlight color into her inner eye duct and brow bone.

Step 7 (final step): If you need to touch up any parts of the eye or blend out, do so...not to much... I ended up taking the first pink shadow and reapplying them into the inner lid.

THE FACE

For the rest of her face: She had her own foundation on (shes growing up so quick! I gave her, her first foundation brush today! LOL). For her cheeks I used Sonia Kashuk Pink-14, I purchased at Target.

On her cheekbones: Benefits Moon Beam (applied to upper cheekbones, tiny bit under brow bone, bridge of nose and her inner upper lip).

I applied a tiny bit of bronzer to temples of her forehead and under cheekbones...to add a little tan to her face.

And lastly, I applied the lipstick by Rimmel in Pink Blush and topped it off by adding a lip gloss by Sephora in #15.

I wanted to keep everything really simple considering her age and the occasion. If you were to wear this look wear your gonna to be taking a lot of pictures...you don't wanna have a cake face and REALLY heavy eye makeup.

FINISHED LOOK!

So, I hope you enjoyed this tutorial...Youtube videos will be coming soon. Sorry about the quality of my pictures they are not the best, but I am new to this soooo...I promise better quality is to come soon.

Please note: ALL of the products shown or listed on this blog I have paid for with my own money. I am not sponsored by E.L.F OR BH COSMETICS OR SIGMA BEAUTY. I have used my personal money to purchase these products. Please DO NOT consider this a review. Thank you!

BLOCK IT OUT

Camille Belle

Olivia Palmero/Leona Lewis

This season color-blocking has become an exciting and DARING trend that is sure to catch attention. This is something everyone is able to try because your not restricted by your expenses and/or body type. Bold colors can be easily put together, just as long as you choose colors that flatter you and pieces that fit your body nicely.

INSPIRATION FROM OUR ANCESTORS

Blending traditional with the exotic. Making a BOLD statement with a piece of clothing, is sometimes very hard and most of the times a tragic fail. But this tribal inspired trend is fierce... If you ever notice each piece of artwork has a story behind it...consider it the same for tribal prints. The simple shapes and colors all have a beautiful story...you can be walking piece of art. Some may consider it too busy or loud, but its all in the way your able to piece it together.

FLORAL ME PRETTY

Paul Smith

Steve Madden

Forever 21

Okay so you all know I am a shoe ADDICT, so you know I had to dedicated time to them. Floral shoes are one of the best spring trends yet! You can easily wear a simple v-neck tee, cute pair of skinny jeans or shorts (whatever you feel comfortable in) and throw on some cute floral wedges or platforms.... Its fun and cute...not to mention FLIRTY.

Stay tuned for...SPRING BEAUTY TRENDS...soon
