Maybelline Define a brow


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

MAC/ Spring/ Summer Trend: Dye-A-Tribe

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.

Inspirational FOTD: Exotic greens and browns

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!

Healthy snack!

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 :-)

Almost a 100 :-)

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