Beauty Trend: Red Lips

2011-10-16T22:58:00.000-04:00

Hello beauties!!!

What is the biggest beauty trend of this fall? Red lips! And I just couldn't ignore it! The truth is, never before I ever tried to sport bright colors on my lips. But this autumn i thought, hey, why not? I have to admit though, first time I colored my lips red, it was so new and shocking to me that I calmed it down with some light pink lip gloss. But now? I just love it! So here some of my favorite products!

REVLON Colorstay Lipliner in RED

L'OREAL Infallible Lipstick in REFINED RUBY

And here is me with my new obsession: red lips

Little tip: don't forget to put some lip balm before, when you bringing all the attention on your lips, you don't want them to be chapped. Plus these products could be drying over time, so your lips will thank you so extra moisture.

So go ahead and have fun!

I hope you enjoyed!
See You Soon!

P.S. Red lips is not the only red trend i am following... You will see it soon!

Selena Gomez Inspired... DIY Glitter Heel Shoes!

2011-08-04T00:48:00.000-04:00

Hello Dolls!

Ok, I am sure that every girl who saw "Who Says" video by Selena Gomez envies her glittery shoes. At least I am. So after being exited and doing a little research, I found out that the shoes were made by Italian designer Guiseppe Zanotti and specially for Selena. I know not everyone of us has the same budget as Selena Gomez, neither am I. So here I come with Glitter Heel DYI! And since I don't have peep toe shoes like in the video, I basically recreate the original Zanotti's Cindy Pumps. (Excuse my bad pictures quality, I had bad lightening)

That's Guiseppe Zanotti's Cindy

What you need:

Black Leather (or fake leather like me) shoes (from Sirens)
Lots of glitter (make sure they sparkle!) (from Omer Des Serres )
Super Glue! (it's best if it has a brush) (from Omer Des Serres)

Before you start, make sure to prepare your work place. You can put lots of papers like I did. There will be major glitter rainfall happening!

So here it starts! Apply your SuperGlue on little areas ( because it dries super fast). And then put a mountain of glitter on in. I am not joking, it has to be literally a mountain, so you can press it down without your fingers getting glued also. (Believe me, learned hard way, my fingers are still sparkling:) )

Now shake down the excess of glitter and go on with the rest! Best part is that it is very easy to repair if too much sparkles fall down, simply pass glue and apply some more glitter. It is not too difficult, but may be time consuming. But the result is totally worth it!

Hope You Enjoyed!

See You Soon!

Celebrity Outfit 3: Kristen Stewart

2011-08-03T23:36:00.002-04:00

Hello my Ladies!

I really liked this Kristen Stewart's outfit, it looks very casual but still preppy. We can wear it everywhere, school, work or even going out. Best of all? You probably have all the elements already! If not, here are some findings!

P.S. I just love how her skinny jeans look rolled up. I am totally into it :) (I am short, that's why!)

Basic black T-shirt and dark Jeans rolled up (Forever 21 both)

From seeing up close, Kristen's shoes are evidently satin. The alternative is Steven Madden's shoes Shimma.

Hope You enjoyed!

Have A Good Day!

Spring Favorites

2011-06-09T19:17:00.000-04:00

Hello my Ladies!

Long time no see, and i am sorry about it. Since i missed last couple of month, i am doing one collective Spring Favorites post. All these things i am using every single day or so since i got them, and i absolutely love them!

Aveeno Positively Radiant Tinted Moisturizer (color Fair to Light)

My skin got very dry last couple of month, so i wanted to try something more moisturizing than heavy foundation. Plus it is spring, getting warmer, so we always tend to go lighter. From jackets to t-shirts, from foundations to tinted moisturizers, why not? What i love about it? First, it has SPF 30, which is always great to have. Then, i just love this dewy finish it gives me. It makes my skin looking shiny and healthy. But then again, my skin is dry, so seeing some shine makes me happy, but girls with oilier skin may not be that thrilled. Coverage is light to medium. Well, i don't really expect full coverage from moisturizer, so i am happy with what it is. Overall : i recommend it to anyone tired of foundations and stippling brushes...

Smashbox Blush Rush in color Chiffon

I just love this color! I would call it bronzed peachy pink with golden shimmer, if that makes sens. I am light and it goes well with my skin tone. But i think that it can compliment any skin. It's just so pretty, warm and summerish!

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion (original)

Ok, that's my first real eyeshadow primer ( i was using concealer before, which is not good, i know). And yes, it is amazing. My eye makeup stays all day, no worries. Consistency is so creamy and doesn't dry my eyelids. Just perfect!

M.A.C. Satin Lipstick in MYTH

I was willing to try this lipstick for months, if not years. Some reviews i saw said it's too light and makes person look sick, some said it was too drying... I can not totally disagree, but i am definitely the lucky one who can wear it and love it! No, it does not make me look dead, just pretty :) And it is not more drying than any other lipstick i tried (a lot of them so much more drying than Myth). Little lip balm and problem solved! I am just so pleased with it and happy to share it!

That all for now! Hope you enjoyed!!

Feather Trend (EARRINGS)

2011-03-04T20:55:00.000-05:00

Hello Pretties!

More and more i see feathers in magazines and stores. I have to admit, at first it puzzled me, especially one side earrings. It didn't look like something i would wear personally (but i liked it on others though, e.g. Kandee Johnson, youtube guru), it looked like something new and daring, tribal style. But now feathers coming in more variety of styles from tribal to casual to classy. I actually fell in love with it now. I guess it comes with time and depends if you can find the right fit for you. Since i found it hard at first for myself, i decided to give a little help for whose who wants to try it out but a little confused.

First, what i call the tribal style. One big feather earring. If you feel daring, you can try that. Miley Cyrus, Ke$ha and Kandee Johnson are already doing it!

As you can notice, it goes better with big baggy top and feeling of freedom :)

Next style is more casual. Both earrings are equal. Vanessa Hudgens, Christina Milian and, hm, me, prefer this.

Since both earrings are the same, you don't have to go to the extreme, and prepare yourself for extra attention. You can wear it everyday with any of your outfit, like jeans and simple top. If you actually want some attention on your earrings, you can put a plain top and skip necklace.

Classy now. If you have a perfect dress but still can't find perfect earrings... Why not to try feather earrings? Blake Lively did it already!

Feather earrings will make your dress look a little more, let's say, casual, it will save you if you are afraid to look overdone. I find that it is the perfect ( and a lightweight too!) alternative for those heavy gems.

So that's my two cents! Hope you enjoyed!

See You Soon!

February Favorites

2011-03-02T16:16:00.000-05:00

Hello Pretties!

I guess it's time for February Favorites! But same as in January, i didn't really have the opportunities to go out and shop new things to try out. So this Favorites blog will be short, but i promise lots of new stuff in march!
So, let's get started!

Estee Lauder Double Wear Light (#1)

Basically, i was in desperate need for new foundation. I used to use Revlon Colorstay in Buff for a long time, about a year and i truly loved it. But then something strange happened to my skin and Revlon foundation started to dry my skin so badly. Literally, my skin got so dry and Colorstay just made it worst and accentuate all the flakiness. Well, it's winter, so i guess that was still the main factor for my dry skin, but i needed new foundation that won't look that bad and flaky. And so i went for Estee Lauder DW Light, since i heard a lot of good things about it. And i really like it! It didn't necessary help my skin, but it didn't make it look bad neither which i am really happy about. Unfortunately i can't say much more for now because i still use a little sample (couldn't choose the right color so had to take two different samples) and i also try to avoid wearing foundation as much as i can (which i will explain later). So it is not really a conclusive review, but for now i love it!

Clarins Wonder Perfect Mascara

Again, this is the sample that i got when i bought my favorite cream, so probably it is a little different from the original one, but i love it so much! It gives good amount of volume and some length. And those factors are important for me, i love to accentuate my lashes. And also what i was really happy about is the staying power, it holds well, didn't flake with me and didn't transfer to my lids. Last, but not least, it is very easy to take off! Maybe it's not the factor for many girls, but after hustling with L'Oreal's Voluminous Carbon Black, that was such a relief! ha ha! Overall, i am going to buy a full size!

Benzoil Peroxide from Acne.org

Oh my... This product deserves full review. I think i can't live without it. I love it! Not that i had disastrous skin, but i always needed a full coverage foundation. This product cleared me up! I couldn't believe it, i was fighting since teenage, tried so many things, and just gave up on anything. Then i tried this.... I am just amazed. I was able to go out without any foundation! That never happened before in many years.... So that is why i was avoiding putting on my foundation, i was on regimen. I have to say only one bad thing about this product, it took almost 4 weeks for my skin to accommodate to it. Before that... dry flaking hell... Seriously, this is another reason why i couldn't put any foundation... Winter, cold, BP... this month my skin was so dry, it's hard to imagine. But that's not the big price to pay for clear skin, really. This is one life changing product.

That is it for the month of Febuary. Hope you enjoyed!

See You Soon!

January Favorits (random)

2011-02-07T20:57:00.000-05:00

Hello Ladies!

It's time for January favorites! I love watching this things and now i decided to do it myself! Only one thing, i realized that i didn't get much new things last month... So i decided to make it random! Enjoy!

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Hot Magenta

I love the color and wear. In fact, this is one of my favorite nail polish brand/collection. Easy to apply, fast to dry and stays for the longtime. Amazing!

Travalo: Refillable Travel Perfume Bottle Atomizer Spray (that's a long name... :) )

As a matter of fact, i was travelling, so the idea of this Travalo was appealing... And i actually ended up loving it! Super easy to transfer and it is allowed on the airplanes! But even if you don't travel, it is still perfect for your purse, no need to carry any heavy bottles.

Johnson's Baby Oil with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E

First time when i got it for my son, i said 'no way, i can't stand the smell'. So the bottle sat in the cabinet for about a year... Until i tried it on myself last month. And i fell in love with it! Even with the smell, that i love now!

Febreze Flameless Luminaire

That was the love from the first sight... Since it is flameless, it is easy to transport. I always carry it with me in every room i go! ha ha, i use it so much i had to change batteries already. The sent i have is Pomegranate Mango. And the flame effect is so pretty :)

'Simon's Cat Beyond the Fence' by Simon Tofield

This is just hilarious! If you ever had a cat, you will have a ton of fun. I had cats since i was born, so i loved that book! Recommend!

So that is it! Hope you enjoyed!

See You Soon

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss

2011-02-07T19:29:00.000-05:00

Hello pretty ladies!
Since this is the first blog post (yay!), i decided to talk about something i really like. Revlon Super Lustrous Lip gloss in Pink Whisper. I love it!

That's how it looks

The applicator

Now why do i love it? Well first of all, it is lustrous, meaning really shiny! Not only glossy type of shine, but it also has tiny, like VERY TINY, glitters. Like most of the Revlon products, at least the ones i tried, it lasts good amount of time. Not crazy long, but good for lip gloss. It is not that sticky, but again, it's a lip gloss, so some little stickiness will always be present :) But what i really love, is the color and a good amount of it. I can easy wear it alone, it gives pretty light pink color. Wearing over a lipstick is pretty too.
And a BONUS! ( ha ha, i just noticed it while making this post) It has SPF 15 in it! What not to love!
Overall, this is the lip gloss that is pretty good at everything (forgot to mention i like the packaging too), and is perfect for those sexy shiny pouts. :)

Hope you enjoyed!

See You Soon
