Hi guys! it is FRIDAY!!!! How awesome is that?

Hello guys!
The weekend is getting closer!! What are you guys planning to do?

Today I come with another first impression thoughts about 2 Loccitane products. As I have mentioned before here and hereI've been little by little adding more products from this brand to my skin care routine.
 I've been using their Red Rice  Ultra matte moisturizer and cleanser with really good results.

I went this past weekend to pick up another cleanser since I ran out and I decided  to finally give the Red Rice toner a try. I haven't been a fan of toners in the past because they would irritate my skin. I have used this one 2 days in a row, morning and night and so far no irritation or tingling!. After washing my face, I use the toner and then the moisturizer. My face feels clean and moisturized. No tightness, just the right amount of moisture that I need since I am combo/oily skin. I will be updating you guys for sure on how the toner is working for me. The toner was $4 at the outlet/travel size/ 1.7 oz


Product details

Purifying Rice Toner

A super fresh bi-phase toner that provides a perfect matte finish! Recommended for combination and oily skin, the first phase of this toner purifies and the second phase mattifies, leaving skin fresh, perfectly clear and light!



Another product that called my attention was the Shea Butter cleansing water. I was using the Almond Pomme oil and it was working great to remove make up but since it is an oil and I have combo/oily skin I was not feeling comfortable using  and I started to break out and I kind of blame the product! lol If you have normal to dry skin this will work best.
When I saw this one, the description of the product caught my eye and bought it. It was only $4 at the outlet/ travel size/ 3.4oz

I've used this product for the past  2 days also and I think it is going to be a keeper. Not greasy feeling at all! When you spray it on the face it feels cool on the skin therefore very resfreshing. What I did: I sprayed like 2-3 times a cotton pad and rub the pad all over my face and it removed all traces of make up: face, eyes, and lips! Now I have to see how long the bottle lasts to see if it is worth it. But I just loved how my face felt. I will also give you guys and update on this product later on.

Final thoughts? I really recommend this brand!  It could be a bit pricey but if you have a Loccitane outlet close to you, the products are much less pricey than in their boutiques.

Product details:

Shea Butter Extra-Gentle Cleansing Water (Travel Size)

A unique multi-purpose product, the Extra Gentle Cleansing Water is appropriate for even the most sensitive skin. This non-greasy formula can be used as a gentle make-up remover, facial cleanser, facial toner and midday refresher. It will leave skin clean, nourished and moisturized.

 Have a great day!!

As I mentioned here. I got the Maybelline Define a brow pencil a week ago with the hopes of filling
my eye brows in a natural looking way. I bought it at Walmart and payed only $5.50 + tax which is a great deal!

After using the pencil for a week I have to say that I love it! It is waterproof and the formula is just great, very natural looking, you don't have to press hard to get a nice color payoff :-) The pencil comes with a comb too, very handy! I'm still getting the hang of it since I've never done my eye brows like that. I'm liking it so much, I think it gives the eyes a complete look. Will be posting pics soon :)

Product Description

Micro-mechanical pencil delivers precise application for evenly defined brows. Smear-proof formula wears all-day, and convenient all-in-one tool includes a comb to seamlessly blend color for a natural look.

• Blends easily with brow hair
• Waterproof for all day wear
• Safe for sensitive eyes
• Contact lens safe and ophthalmologist tested

 Final thoughts, I highly recommend it!

Hi guys!
I'm staying at my in law's house located in Orlando and we are having a great time. Today  we went to a Thrift Store. I do it every now and then since my mother in law loves it and it's so much fun. For me it's like a treasure hunt, when I come in to the store I always think, what cool thing I can I find?!!

After searching throughout I got a cute A line, green and white polka dot dress( $10), a cool gray, vintage looking purse($2.92), and my favorite, a gorgeous pair of Camel Steve Madden shoes!! They looked fantastic and cost only $11!!

I'm excited with my goodies and I will be posting pics for sure once I go back home :-)

How's your Thursday going?

Hello lovelies!

Filling my  brows is something that I've tried on and off. I've never liked the results. I tried different color shadows and I was never happy. I do like when people fill their eyebrows, it gives the eye make up a finished touch still looking quite natural.
Today I was at the Walmart cosmetic isle and I remember a girl from YT doing an eyebrow tutorial using  the Maybelline Define a brow and it looked pretty good.  Since it was only $5.50 I thought why not?

This is the first time that I actually filled my brows with a pencil and I have to say that I really liked the results! The formula is great. The packaging says that the color blends with the hairs and it is so true. I know this is only my 1st time using the product so I will be updating you guys for sure. But overall I'm happy and I can't wait to do my eyes and the brows and see the overall result!

Hope you guys are having a great Wednesday! Today I'm looking forward America's Next Top model..hehehe

A shaft of sunlight through stained glass…
The syrupy freshness of peach juice…the swirled, translucent tints in a murano vase…tinted filters over a camera lense: for colour this summer, think multi-dimensional, soft-focus and super-blended in a succulent palette. It’s about optimistic, upbeat shades applied with the very lightest touch “in the ongoing trend for colour that looks airbrushed with the softest edges,” says Terry Barber. Not that its attitude is hippie-dippy or costume drama. “It’s more about taking pretty colours, yet giving them a rebellious edge so that they don’t come across as too bridal.” Whether that be the subtlety of a dégradé chromatic shift over the lip or eye or the juxtaposition of upbeat colours against a raw skin or bare lash, as Gordon Espinet explains, “It’s really about wearing colour with a cool factor.”

This is one of this year's MAC trends. I love color and I am always experimenting with new combinations.
It's so much fun!
Like a lovely blogger said (Zoffen), You can get away with color if it is well blended and also I have to add, if it is the right shade. There are soo many different shades out there that if you get the one that suits your skin tone you can have a splash of color in your eyes and look amazing. It's all about trying different ones.

In this FOTD I wanted to embrace wearing color with a cool factor.. so hopefully I did! I love my purples but this time I wanted to mix it with different blues. In the pictures it came out as a vanilla shade but above the crease and as a highlight I had a very light shade of baby blue.

Hello Everyone!
How's your weekend going? Mine is going great, I sang at church which I love and I got in the mail another pair of PixiEGlamouR's earrings!! This pair is absolutely fantastic.
I talked about this Etsy seller in another post here
I got the package Friday afternoon so I thought.. I'm gonna wear them on Saturday night! I loved the touch of green and the warm tone of the feathers so I translated that into my make up. I really liked how it turned out. Green is a color I do not wear a lot so it was fun to play around with it.I also got to use my melon pigment which I am loving to pieces.

I have another pair of earrings with Peacock feathers and other vibrant colors and I can't wait to do another inspirational FOTD with that pair!

If you are interested in this kind of jewelry you can go here 
She is so sweet, great customer service!

Hello guys!
Hope you are having a great Thursday! This week went super fast!!
Today I want to share this yummy snack. This is what I've been eating instead of the lovely chocolate bar or ice cream lol. I'm trying to change my eating habits because of my health and also because I would like to drop a few pounds.
As you guys know I am in Cancer remission so I really need to work hard so I can stay cancer free. Sugar is something that this disease loves so little by little I need to eat less of it. This, of course is super hard since I have a super sweet tooth!

My hubby introduced me like 2 months ago to this lovely greek yogurt. It comes with a side honey so when you mix them together is super delicious! There are other flavors but I haven't tried them yet :-)
To make it even better I like to add this Honey/ almond granola and some strawberries and bananas!


Hope you guys try it!
You can find these items at Publix. If you do not have a Publix around check at your local grocery store :-)

I'm so thankful to know that I'm close to having 100 followers!! I can't believe it :-)

Hello guys!
How is your Tuesday going?

Today I wanted to share a bargain I found at Target. When I go to this store I always like to look at their $1 corner. You never know the things you can find!

This is supposed to be a candle holder but when I saw it I immediately thought: Brush holder! I found it super cute and liked that it was black. Check your target for availability!

I've been wanting to do though the Sephora style holder for a while, but my baby is in the stage where he wants to touch everything and climbing into everything so I have the image in my mind of him just throwing the thing on the floor.. so I think for now this holder looks cute and I am even thinking right now that I could add a ribbon in middle and maybe look even cuter!! :-) This is it:

Sorry for my English speakers!! but this is something I wrote a few days ago and I just wanted to share. It's been months since I wrote something so I felt kind of happy after wards. My first language is Spanish so that's why :-)

Ella se fue caminando por las nubes buscando...
ella se fue sin avisar, mirando..
ella quizo entender cantando...
pero nunca entendio lo que vivio soñando.

Ella corrio, sonrio a ratos,
ella busco colores, se canso del blanco.
Ella se frustro y cayo hablando,
con todo su dolor y con las dudas en sus manos

Ella grito, lloro y llamo
ella creyo que no habria voz,
de repente en el cielo una luz la alumbro,
ella no podia creer lo que su mirada vio

Ella descubrio a su creador!
ella alli cambio su corazon!
Del negro al blanco, a mucho colores paso..
ella ahora entiende lo que nadie entendio..

Ella bajo de las nubes con una nueva cancion...
ella bajo de las nubes con un nuevo AMOR..

Ella esta con DIOS.

I wanted to shop my stash today and I picked up my MAC/ Hello Kitty Lucky Tom palette!
This is such a lovely palette. I remember when I got it, I could not stop using it. Eventually I did becasue I did not want to get bored with it. I put it away and after months, today I decided to use it. I also used my MAC Beautiful Iris which is my fave shadow ever!!!

If you look at my headband I added the silver charm and purple leaf. It was an 11:00 pm project last night. I had a charm that was part of a necklace that broke and it was so pretty that I wanted to do something with it.. I used the feather and one of the charms.. and this is what came up!! loving it to pieces

Thank you, Marie, for this wonderful blog award! 

Check these lovely ladies out and their blogs, you won't regret it!:D

Well today is for sure a very special day to celebrate. Today is God's resurrection and we can rejoice in HIM!. We have so an amazing God and we really need to be thankful because I know everyday we receive blessings from Him. Sometimes are big blessings but sometimes are little blessings, and because they are little, sometimes we do not even see them... I am learning to see the small ones. I am learning to be happy and not to be bothered for the little things. I'm learning to see the big picture: HEAVEN.

I wanna share a little anecdote. Today before going to church I stopped at Starbucks and order a White Chocolate mocha. I got the coffee, stepped out, and got in my car. While I was on my way I started talking to God. Just telling Him that today was a day to rejoice and that I did not wanted to be angry or upset for little things.

I arrived at church, got my purse, laptop, and coffee and when I closed the car's door with my hip it failed to do so. I put the coffee on top of the roof and don't ask me how but when I tried to close the door the coffee dropped and spilled on the car, on myself and of course on the floor. I lost my $4 dollars drink. I got a tiny upset but because I had that talk with God in the car I just went inside the church, went to the bathroom, and cleaned my clothes and shoes. I was proud of myself. I did not burst in anger, I was relaxed.

After we sing in the first service on Sundays, we usually go to the back,( the ones that already saw the service on Saturday, or the ones that will see the next one) there is a room there and the singers and the band members can just chill.

One of the ladies was so sweet to bring food, coffee, and juice. After serving my coffee I saw that there were two coffee creamers and when I saw one of the flavors it was WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA! Two of the singers knew about the coffee accident so I told them: "I guess I'm gonna have my White chocolate mocha after all!" We all started laughing.

I felt like all was part of a mini test from God and I'm glad. When we keep our promises to God, even if things turn wrong he never forgets about us. He knows about our needs and he fulfills them.

Have a blessed Sunday!

-Sue

Hello guys!
 Several months ago I decided that I wanted to give my hair a rest of chemicals so I stopped dying my hair. I started dying it since I was 17 years old. I've tried so many shades lol but my faves are red and black. I was kind of bored with my hair so I talked to my mother in law and she agreed to dye it. I picked up the Loreal Feria in Starry night and I am loving the color!!

On the eyes I did a neutral look with some blue using my 88 palette :-)
