GOOD BYE SUMMER

SUMMER OBSESSIONS...

Good bye Summer,
It was nice while it lasted but, I'am oh so happy to see you go and, to welcome my favorite season... FALL!!! I love the Fashion of Fall and I CANNOT wait till the nice chilly weather is here!

So here are a list of products I used religiously when ever I did wear makeup, I know there is no point to write about it now since summer is basically over but these products I will use during the fall season as well (:

HARD CANDY: GLAMOFLAUGE HEAVY DUTY CONCEALER.

So I know i may be supper late!, but OMG I have been missing out so much!!!

First of let me tell you guys whats my skin type...I have supper DRY SENSITIVE skin! and very few products work for me! and especially under my eyes...Even at my age of 19 years I have under eye wrinkles, ISN'T THAT INSANE! ??? I absolutely hate how hardly any concealer ever worked for my skin type.

Every time I try a new concealer either it will irritate my eyes, make them water, or crease on me like crazy and really make my wrinkles and fine lines show up even more :'( The only concealer that i have ever been happy with is Mac's Select cover up concealer, and that is 17+tax its so pricey for a concealer.

But it is NOT the only concealer that I have every tried that was too pricey! I have tried the Bobbi Brown Concealer and Powder duo, Coastal Scents Concealer Palette (great for your makeup kit ), Cover fx concealer, Lancome water proof concealer, Maybaline, KatVonDs Concealer, Amazing, LM, and MORE.

But I found an awesome one for only SIX bucks...Hard candy is great and for the price come on!!! as long as you set it with a good loose powder your good to go!!! =] its so creamy and HEAVY a little goes a long way for sure I give it 4 Stars, I would give it more but I wish there was more colors.

REVLON COLOR STAY FOUNDATION.

This is my absolute favorite foundation for the summer time, why?....Because it lasts ALL DAY!!!! EVEN THROUGH SWEAT! is blend-able plus medium to full coverage! AND there is a wide rage of colors! theres so little I can say its just that good!! only down side is there is NO pump but i believe a mac pump fits I haven't tried it yet. Recently I saw Revlon came out with a whipped 24hr foundation, but only problem with that is I hate digging my had into a jar...wish is had a mini spatula or something. So anyway I am In love with Revlon products its by far my favorite drugstore brand...and if you compare to Mac foundations which are around $29+ Revlon is only the most $12.00 you can't beat the price difference.

SETTING POWDER.

My Favorite Setting powder is CoverFX Translucent powder in light. Now the way I like to use this is to set my under eye concealer and lightly dusting is on my T zone but mostly for my under eye...it is PERFECT for it...and on hot days when I know I'm going to be in the sun and melt I will use this to set my makeup and right after use my Fix+ from Mac which will leave your face looking amazing and I find that when i set my makeup with the powder it make it almost water proof! And I almost forgot, if you want a nice laminating glow this will give it since its meant for dry skin types.

MAC FIX PLUS+

This product was my absolute secrete weapon!!! How I used it was to spray this directly on my brush and then dab my foundation on my brush and apply my makeup with a dampen brush, What this does is it will help water down your foundation so it is lighter with a sheer coverage, sets evenly and, I find it to become almost water proof. I also love to use this after my night skin care routine right before bed to help set my moisturizers.

SIGMA FLAT TOP KABUKI BRUSH.

This brush is AMAZING!!!! its the best thing ever created!!! I love this brush out of all of my other brushes its so incredible. This brush is synthetic and I love using synthetic brushes because the foundation wont get all socked up by it. because of how dense and soft it is it will distribute everything evenly and with minimal effort when it comes to blending.

SKIN CARE

As for my skin care during the summer time I fell IN LOVE with this sample bundle from LANEIGE at THE AMORE in queens, its a Korean skin care store and I absolutely love the store, I will definitely be purchasing the full size bottles of the samples I received which was the Water bank eye gel - AMAZING if you have dry sensitive eyes, The WATER BANK SLEEPING PACK so extremely light but yet so refreshing if you have dry skin it feels like your skin drank a gallon of water...best way i can describe it lol although it may sound weird and the set of the STRAWBERRY SCRUB & MASK If you didn't know strawberry is great for people with acne prone skin, I loved it because it isn't a harsh scrub it felt nice and my skin was so smooth...it claims to take the dead skin of and I definitely agree! -

-Side story, I fell in love with the store THE AMORE when I went in to just look around on mothers day after me and my bf got dim sum, and this nice lady was making conversation and noticed my all saints bracelet, she made a comment about how nice it was and where I had gotten it from, at the time my mother had a store and sold these bracelet, so I said if you like it you can keep it...She was so happy and emotional over a bracelet that I could have easily gotten again and to me it really wasn't a big deal but for her it was an amazing treat! She was so sweet and I felt good giving it to her, I wasn't planning to buying anything that day but she was so happy she gave me a goodie bag of samples to try I was not expecting that after just a bracelet...Thanks to her I was able to try Laneige and fall IN LOVE with the skin care line <3

If your in the queens are in NY you must stop by THE AMORE if your looking for awesome KOREAN skin care and makeup the store is small but absolutely lovely :)

My latest nails!

I did these nails for my first mothers day!! =D and I've gotten so many compliments <3 These nails are my twist on the everyday french acrylics...and I got the inspiration again from gyaru girls nails but more toned down =]

Are you happy?

2012-04-23T01:36:00.000-07:00

Are you happy... or not?

So this is a random post that I just decided to write about, I was just lounging around my room and i felt this emotion of sadness over whelm me out of no where...I started to think about everything in my life that was not right and that was not making me happy...I'm pretty sure theres a lot of people out there who feel the same way.

BUT THEN...

I just snapped out of it and got annoyed with myself because I made myself feel like Sh*t ! no one did but me! Every one gets upset at one point in their lives and theres always something going wrong but its so simple to just be happy its common sense, instead of thinking about all those things that are not going right in your life why not think about everything that IS going RIGHT in your life, and I can assure you, your list of cons in your life is not as long as the list of pros, Anything as simple and being able to communicate to some one with a simple phone call is something to be grateful of and get happy. There are so many people unhappy with how much money they have, or stressed about there future. Your future is not set in stone you make and control your future.

I then started to think about all the things in my life I am soooooooooooo grateful for...

My beautiful healthy daughter!

A boyfriend who has the patience to stick with me and support our daughter.

My faith in God!

my Family

my friends

the air I breath

The country I was born in

and so much more!!!

Start thinking about all the things that make you happy everyday and CHOOSE to be happy!

STRESS CAN BE THE CAUSE OF WRINKLES, WEIGHT GAINE, GRAY HAIRS, SICKNESS, UNHAPPINESS, RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS, ETC.!

NEW NAILS! =] EASTER INSPIRED NAILS <3

Nails, nails, nails...nails!!

2012-03-19T00:57:00.000-07:00

So these are the nails i've done myself!!

I LOVE THE COLD BUT THIS IS NUTS!

2012-02-29T17:24:00.005-08:00

I dont have a clue what the hell I'm going to do about my skin!

I'am very upset that Sephora doesn't carry Rexaline anymore it was the only cream (out of allllllll the creams I've used) that soothed my skin! I have such dry, patchy, red, ANNOYING skin ever!!! Yes I know at least i don't have acne but OMG my face even hurts when i get out the shower -__- what else is there left to try???....Even Vaseline isn't enough like come on! :(

My skin is so dry its about to break and look like this...........

OK MAYBE NOT LIKE THIS.....

But anyway the point to this pointless blog...is how upset Iam that i cant find a store other than amazon that sell rexaline!...

BUT!... Yogurt has been very kind to me! it is soothing and refreshing and i recommend anyone with dry skin to try PLAIN yogurt on their face! sadly thought if you have dry skin like me you would have to do this treatment more often than usual but very worth it!

P.S. CHECK OUT MY KAWAII NAILS!!! =D I did them myself =P

Why I love what I do...

2012-02-18T22:50:00.000-08:00

So a lot of people probably wonder, why go to beauty school and not college? why waste you time and not just get a "REAL" career and actually do something with yourself?

WELLLLLL.....

Here is my cheesy excuse of why I fell in love with this industry...and yes it is considered an industry!

First of all my MAIN job is and will always be to be a great mother to my daughter! Just making that clear but anyway back to the topic... I fell in love with Cosmetology because hellooooo not only is it everything a girly girl loves but it is rewarding! I've never been a scholar and I admit Im an idiot when it comes to certain school topics...for ex: MATH, SCIENCE, HISTORY, MHHH pretty much EVERYTHING!... well except english, I actually really enjoyed it...um duh hence the blogging :p but no seriously I never enjoyed school as much as a book worm but I always enjoyed making someone feel better about them selfs.

I've been bullied for at least 50% of my student career and I know what its like to feel like you don't belong, especially since I was never girly until I hit my teen years, But even though I was never the "girly" I always enjoyed giving my family members a "makeover" and I loved playing with hair and makeup etc. It was either music teacher or this! and I have not given up on music but this is more of a passion for me. I absolutely love it when I do something for someone and they go from blahhh to OMG! Its so incredibly touching to me when they look in the mirror and in they're eyes you can tell they are happy to be in the skin they are in! God made you who you are not to be ashamed to but be proud of yourself no matter what, and for me to give them a little boost is very rewarding to me!

My dream one day is to have my own business in an environment where men and women can feel great about themselves and feel happy in their skin and hopefully even teach others about the are of Cosmetology.

REMEMBER MAKEUP AND ARTIFICIAL NAILS AND FALS EYELASHES OR CONTACTS OR WHAT EVER THE CASE MAY BE, ALL OF THESE BEAUTY STUFF IS JUST A FORM OF ART, FASHION, ACCESSORIES, AND A WAY TO EXPRESS YOUR SELF...IF SOMEONE DOES'T LIKE YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE "FAKE" WELL SO IS THE AVERAGE PERSON WHO WEARS JEWELRY OR STRAIGHTEN THEIR HAIR OR DO TATTOOS! PEOPLE SHOULD LOVE YOU WITH CAKE ON YOUR FACE AND WITH OUT IT!

COVERFX MAKEUP

2012-01-24T22:04:00.000-08:00

COVERFX:

So this skin care line was not what i expected it would be! i absolutely love this cosmetic line its great for those who have supper sensitive, dry,oily, acne prone skin, and even rosasia.

Lee Graff the founder of CoverFX teamed up with Dr. Neil Shear and Jenny Frankel to create a makeup line that was safe for her clients with burns, discoloration, etc since she was unsuccessful with finding one she created CoverFX which is now dermatologist #1 cosmetic line...

SO my story is that i have dry, sensitive, irritated skin and coverFX really and truly is the first product i tried that hasn't broken me out, irritated my skin, and this product actually kept my skin moisturized and lasted an entire day! I absolutely love this product and I highly recommend it! if you have any of these skin problems this foundation is for you!

PROS:

GREAT COVERAGE
LONG LASTING
SPF
PHOTOGRAPHS GREAT
DOES NOT BREAK OUT (MY SKIN)
GREAT FOR ALL SKIN TYPES
NOT CAKY

CONS:

MUST USE SET FX SO MAKEUP LAST LONG
CONCEALER SEPARATES ( THE OILS SEPARATE FROM PRODUCT)
IF NOT SET IT WONT LAST

WHY BOTHER???!

Well Im a very young mom to a little girl who is going to start school and still looking for work, and even though Im home with my mother still i find i never have time to do anything and when I do go out Im so tired I sometimes don't feel like doing anything with my hair or putting makeup on...I've seen plenty of moms who don't worry about their image and don't care what others may say about how you look but you should care! I have to remind my self that mommy time is very important!!! It's soooo important to have time for your self in your crazy schedule, Im always busy taking care of my little princess but its important to take care of myself too!

I know its extremely hard especially for breastfeeding moms, trust me I KNOW! It can get crazy pumping every 3 hours and then feeding your baby and keeping the house in order and playtime with your baby and laundry and etc BUT you must have MOMMY TIME! even if its a manicure, pedi, getting your hair done or what ever find the time to look great...your baby can sense stress or anger and tension from you and that will give you a fussy baby its so important to keep your self happy to have a great time with your baby.

My experience as a first time mommy not to mention a breast feeding mommy was so stressful and hard for me! I got pregnant at 18 and did not have a clue on what i was getting myself into...me and my boyfriend did not know what we were having nor did we want to know (although I had a feeling it was a girl) so we didn't even know where to start! I didn't have much help from my mother because she is a hard worker and hardly ever has time for herself, so i was basically clueless. I had a lot of advice from other mommies I knew and i was so grateful...BUT no one ever told me how hard it was going to be to breastfeed!!!

The morning my LO (little one) was born from a c-section i was in a daze everything went smoothly and fast she was born 7lbs and 7 oz and the procedure only took 50 mins i went in at 8 am and she was born at 8:50 am. i knew i wanted to bf (breast feed) but i did not know how hard and painful it was going to be! The very first latch was PERFECT no pain no nothing i thought "awesome! no sweat!! this is EASY!!" but i was WRONG!!! little did i know it was because of the pain killers and everything i had gotten for the procedure the next day i was in tears and thought what am i doing wrong! i met with the lactation consultant and she helped me for 3 out of the 7 days i was in the hospital but i still scabbed and bled and swelled up my milk came in the 2nd day of my stay at the hospital and it was a relief i had gotten depressed and thought i wasn't feeding my baby enough and i thought i was a horrible mother! she had lost 7oz (which is normal for bf babies) but i panicked i was almost going to give up but everyone said to keep going it will get better. At home i was happier and had less anxiety but i was still depressed and stressed i started to give her Similac advanced because i felt i wasn't producing enough milk but i was and the problem was just that i had a sleepy baby. When me and my boyfriend got the Medela pump in style advance it was the best thing we could have ever done! i pumped for 15 to 20 mins every 3 hrs and it was wonderful my LO was already eating 4 oz when i got the pump and at first i was only pumping out 1 oz per session so i had to BF then bottle feed my pumped milk and on top of that give her Similac advanced.

Through out all of this it is very important to treat yourself to mommy time it helped me through my post part-um depression to just see myself with my hair done or nails done or even just mascara and lipgloss, even though i felt horrible from the c-section and soreness on my boobs it made me feel better to look a little pretty! and trust me it will make your process go more smoothly!

Pump hands free like me=] I got a medium and white and it was so comfortable to pump and read or be online etc!!
