A Day of Make-up in Natyville

The most comfortable outfit yet.

2010-12-21T00:36:00.005-05:00

Long over-sized gray cardigan from Forever 21, Black tights, plain long white t-shirt from H&M and gray suede ankle boots from Tjmaxx. And this ladies & gents has been the most comfortable outfit I have worn lately. I'm sorry for the lack of posts but I have been super busy with school and work these past months. I wish I had the time to blog as much as I'd like but making videos is sometimes a lot quicker and easier than having to take pictures, edit, write and post. I think from now on I'll dedicate my blog to posting more fashion and eye make-up looks versus reviews, which I haven't done in a while either. Although I am not the best dressed nor most fashionable person, I still enjoy taking pictures of the outfits that I think are trendy or my favorites that I've worn. I do still look at a lot of fashion blogs for inspiration on what pieces to put together, since I was not born with the gift of knowing what to put together without having to look at inspirational pictures. Anyhow, how are you girls' doing? Anything special planned for the holidays? I'm going away to Cartagena, Colombia for two weeks! It's my mothers hometown and I'll be in 85-90 degree weather, of which I cannot wait! P.S. I always read and appreciate all the comments you girls post! I try to check out as many blogs and comment on your posts but sometimes I forget, please forgive me.

Amazing night!

Words alone cannot explain how amazing that night turned out to be. I love that youtube has brought us all together because at times I feel like some of you guys are seriously better friends than those I have known for years. Kat Von D was also beyond what I had anticipated, she was so chilled and sweet. I had no one that I knew next to me to take a picture of us so she actually took my digital camera and shot the picture of us!

Celebrity love

2010-08-31T21:54:00.008-04:00

I love Megan Fox's style. I think this orange-y/ golden dress really compliments her and best of all I love that she is smiling for once!

Yup, I love her! Its funny because she actually doesn't use much eye make-up besides liner and a basic shimmery ivory color.

I find this picture so breathtaking, I love make-up but she looks flawless with barely anything on. As much as I love lipstick, liner and gloss I find bare lips or almost bare so beautiful (not crusty, dry lips though lol). Side note, I love Carmex cherry lip balm SPF 15 it is so moisturizing!

Bedroom eyes look without using black eyeshadow!

2010-08-19T17:34:00.012-04:00

J.Lo with subtle bedroom eyes since they aren't too dark

Hello ladies and gents, my friend Karen (above) came over my house recently and we decided to film a make-up tutorial for youtube. I decided to create subtle bedroom eyes, which is basically just a smokey eye but its subtle in the sense that I do not use black eyeshadow which can be to harsh or too dramatic for some people. I googled "bedroom eyes" and this is what I found, "Bedroom eyes are sultry, usually with heavy or sleepy-looking lids that call to mind the boudoir because they make you look like you just emerged from a romp in the hay".

Products used:

M.A.C "Warm Grey" Limited Edition but Scene is really similar.

M.A.C "Soba"

M.A.C "Mulch"

Victoria Secret "Risk"

Maybelline "Champagne Frizz"

Stila Smudge pot gel linger in black

Shimmery gray/blue with green and an electric purple liner!

Eyes & Brow Tutorial!

2010-08-02T23:16:00.004-04:00

I found the image above on another blog and I absolutely fell in love with her eyebrows! I only wish to have beautiful eyebrows like her but mine are very sparse and light. I think the arch and thickness of her brows are what I would consider perfect eyebrows since they aren't too thin nor too thick. Anyways, here are my eyebrows filled in and if you'd like to see what they look like naturally just watch the video.

Both my top and my shirt are from Express and although my shoes were cut off I just wore a pair of patent leather heels. To the right is me standing in front of the MAC Pro store on Lincoln Road; my top is from American Eagel, shorts & bag from Abercrombie & Fitch and my flip flops from Nine West.

Extensions!

2010-07-03T11:20:00.005-04:00

OMG! I have been wanting clip in extensions for the longest but did not know anyone who had purchased a pair so that I can inspect them in person, lol. Yesterday I went over to my friends Karen's apartment and she let me try on her Foxy Locks extensions. I fell in love, they give me so much volume and some length as well. These are in soft black and are slightly darker than my hair color but at least I know I will love them when I order them. I will be getting mine in darkest brown, 20 inches and 160 grams. I might not need all the clip in's but it is better to have a few extra than be missing any. I have not ordered them yet because they are pricey and I need save up but when I do, I will most defiantly be reviewing them and doing a blog post. MUAHS ;]

Ps. These were put in without sectioning my hair off evenly so they are a bit sloppy but this was only a trial, lol.

Recent Youtube tutorials

2010-06-10T13:37:00.002-04:00

These are two of the recent tutorial I have put up on my youtube channel. I stopped embedding videos onto my blog because it makes my page slower but my user name is naty1129, you can click on it and it should send you to my channel. Since the big move my PC has not been working so I have no been able to photoshop any of my pictures, which I always photoshop the skin around my eye just to smooth my skin and bring more focus to the actual look and colors. I hope you girls check out my tutorials and comment them, until next time mauhs! xoxo

Update time!

2010-06-06T22:28:00.001-04:00

I have been a very, very bad blogger. I am so sorry you guys but I have been super busy. I finally finished my classes and in the mist of all that my family decided we'd move for the first time since I was like 9 or so. I will be updating my blog more often now that I will not be preoccupied with school work, so hooray for that! Anyways, if you follow me on Twitter and reply to anything I Tweet, chances are I'll end up building a sort of friendship with you lol (I am a friendly person). So I noticed this girl (Karen), who happens to be one of my subscribers on my youtube channel, kept replying to my Tweets. I asked for her personal facebook to add her since she seemed pretty cool- turned out we knew someone in common. We decided to meet up on Friday and brought our boyfriends along to go watch Take Him To the Greek, which was pretty funny. We had a really great time and our boyfriend got along, which is defiantly a plus! We also stopped by into the new M.A.C store on 42 street...so tempting not to buy anything lol. Ps. Feel free to request looks or anything you girls want! Here are some pictures:

Blush and Gel liner

2010-04-29T19:36:00.003-04:00

NARS blushes are so worth the price. My amazing sometimes cranky boyfriend surprised me with a gift card to Sephora and I had been wanting another NARS blush badly. I currently own three with this new one and the other two are the infamous Orgasm and Deep throat. Desire is a beautiful bright/hot pink and it has absolutely no shimmer, which I prefer. The texture of NARS blushes are so soft and silky and are highly pigmented (I'd would hope so since they're expensive, lol). A little goes a long way with these blushes, they will last you forever since you only do need a tiny amount specially with this color in particular. Only thing that I wish NARS had was a larger color range for there blushes!

I have also been wanting badly to purchase a gel liner. I was planning on purchasing M.A.C's Black Track Fluideline but being that I still had money left on the Sephora gift card, I decided to try out Stila's Black gel liner. I always had trouble getting a very thin line over my lid when I applied liquid liner with a felt tip thus I opted to buying Sonia kashuk's bent liner and used it with this gel. So far I am loving how thin and natural looking I can get my eyeliner to look, which is what I wanted specially for the daytime. I cannot compare this gel liner to any other since I have not tried another but I like the staying power thus far.

Fridays FOTD (Face of The Day)

2010-04-10T23:08:00.006-04:00

I'm always afraid of wearing bright colors during the day but I said to myself what do I really have to lose or be afraid of! I actually got a lot of compliments from several girls in my class on Friday and at a fantasy jewelry store I went into.

Where did you go- Valencia

2010-04-08T13:24:00.006-04:00

What's up guys! So, about almost a year ago I encountered this guys youtube page and found he had done an acoustic cover for a song my boyfriend dedicated to me:

Anyways, so after that I requested "Where did you go" By Valencia and yea, a year later lol well, almost a year later he did it. YEY! I just felt like sharing since I like acoustic-zied hahaha (not a word) versions of songs. Hope you guys enjoy as much as I did.

M.A.C 'Painterly' Paint Pot

2010-03-28T19:17:00.011-04:00

"Painterly" Paint pot by M.A.C, this product is one of the most raved about products within the blog and youtube community. I first purchased this product about a year ago and as you see above I still have a lot left. I use this product maybe 3 to 4 times a week on my lids to create a base so that my eyeshadows can adhere to the lid better and to intensify the color of any eyeshadow that is similar in color to this specific paint pot. The color of this product is a pinky- nude and it does a lovely job at covering slight blotchy-ness on the lid or any light marks if your light all the way to a medium/ tan complexion. This products is not meant to be a concealer so keep that into consideration, this is a cream color that is meant to intensify the color of the eyeshadow you apply. A lot of people use this product to prevent creasing but this really does not do that if you have oily lids. If I apply this, which dries to a nice matte nude color and I add an eyeshadow on top, the eyeshadow will crease within 2-4 hours (on a regular fall/cold day). I would assume this wouldn't be the ideal product for a hot summer day since it is a cream and creams tend to melt away with heat.

My overall thoughts about this specific product is if applied alone with some mascara it gives a nice, slight coverage to any blotchy-ness and it defiantly adds life to your lid but if used with an eyeshadow on top you might experience creasing if you have oily lids. In that case, I would suggest using Urban Decays Primer Potion and then the Paint Pot if you plan on wearing eyeshadow. The price of this is 16.50 for 0.17 oz and it also comes in other colors such as brown, black, bronze etc
