MAC Made with love
This is my go- to lipstick. If I am not doing my eyes, and I am going for a quick look, this is the one I use since it is such a beautiful shade of coral.  This lipstick was part of the Color Craft collection and  it was a limited edition though, sorry guys!


MAC Fun and games
This blush came with the collaboration of MAC and Hello Kitty. I really love this one! It is a peachy slightly shimmery blush. It is not super pigmented so I need to pack it on but when it shows, it is a dream!
I love to pair this blush with Made with Love.

MAC Smoke and Mirrors e/s
I have been using Maybelline define a brow  pencil to fill in my brows and I still love it but I one day I decided to try a shadow instead and I used the shadow called Smoke and Mirrors (medium brown in the palette) from the MAC Smoke and Mirrors palette. I am liking a lot so far so now depending on my mood I use either the Maybelline pencil or this shadow or both!


Bobbi Brown concealer
I like this one to get that clean and defined brow look! I also love how my highlight  color pops even more.

Ardell Wispies
 Since I decided to cut my lashes and make them more into accents I’ve been loving it!
I’m sure you guys have noticed that I have been using these a lot. I really like how natural they look.
I think lashes are very important since they complete the eye make up. My lashes get lost as soon as I apply my upper eye liner  so using false lashes on my outer corners is something that  I have been enjoying.

 Clinique Stay Matte powder
I always keep coming back to this one. This powder does not break me out and it's really good to use for toch ups. This time I got a shade called invisible and it's supposed to work on all skin tones. I am loving it!

Well these are my faves!
Thanks for reading and commenting loves :-)

Eyebrow definition: quick tip!


Hello lovelies :-)
Today I want to share a quick tip for eye brows!
This is something that I've known for a while
but for some reason did not try. 
I was watching a tutorial last night on YT and this girl was doing it so I wanted to try it finally.

I think most of us are obsessed with eyebrows. I know I am,.. lately
I used to wax them before because eye brows was not my thing.
Getting them waxed though was always a hit or miss thing since some people
would not do them the way I liked.
It is also quite expensive, so one day I decided to wax them for the last time and maintain them myself. 
It's was hard at first but I learned .
I've been loving really defined eyebrows and the tip that I am going to share is
to help your eye brows look more defined.

I haven't been using my bobbi brown concealer since I didnt like it. 
It's been sitting in my traincase so today I decided to use it for this.

I took an angled brush, dip it inside de concealer and got a tiny amount on the bristles. 
With this concealer, a little bit goes a long way!
Then I started basically drawing a line starting from the inside of the brow all the way to the tail.
I did the same on top of the brow as well and then I blended the lines.
I really liked the result!
I got a very clean, defined brow.
This also helped my highlight to pop even more!
Prior of this, I had my brows filled in.

I'm sure some of you will know about this, but I am posting anyways just in case someone doesn't know, 
or maybe knows, but haven't been motivated to do it :)

The creamy Bobbi Brown concealer really worked like a dream to do this.

Hope this helps someone!
Have a great Tuesday :-)


Urban Decay finally heard us!

finally heard us and there is a primer potion in a tube!

They call it a professional size and it comes with .85 oz of product. 
Unfortunately it is a limited edition! I know! Booooo!!!!
It should be permanent, but there is a buzz going that for the fall / winter the'll have the tube available  in a smaller size.

Peachy Neutral

Hi guys!
Ok, so let me start saying that this is the kind of make up look that looks great in person but it does not translate well in camera :(
I really tried to get good pics but this is the best I could do. 
I wanted to do something peachy and neutral.
I grabbed one of my Wet and Wild palettes as well as
Naked pigment since is one of my favorites!

Hope you guys like it!

Review: Clean and Clear Dual moisturizer





Hello guys!
Today I come with a quick review from one of the Clean & Clear brand products.
Around 2 weeks ago, I ran out of my Loccitane moisturizer. Even though I love it, it's quite pricey. 
I've been looking for a cheaper alternative so I can alternate.

I went to Walgreens and browse all the different moisturizers. I have oily skin, and it is difficult to find a good moisturizer that is not going to make me feel even more greasy.

After browsing for a bit I noticed  the Dual Action moisturizer from Clean & Clear.
It caught my attention that it was a  moisturizer and it had  acne medication to help treat blemishes as well.

This is the drescription on the website:
"Moisturizer combines oil-free moisture with a proven acne-fighting ingredient. It can help to moisturize dry skin while treating and helping to prevent breakouts. It leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth."

Even though I never have luck with drugstore acne products, because they end up irritating my skin,
  I decided  to give it a try.
So far, I do like a lot!

It  is oil free and it has a 5% of Salicylic Acid and you can tell when you apply it.
You feel like a tingling sensation but it's not bad at all and it goes withing a minute.
I like that my face feels smooth and not greasy.It is a very light weight formula.
My skin absorbs this moisturizer really quick too.
I still want to get my Loccitane moisturizer so I can alternate because I have seen some minimal dry spots, mostly on my chin area.
I have been using this for 3 1/2 weeks with good results.
I am still having little break outs but I think it is because I was using a powder that it was not right for me. I stopped using the powder so now I am just waiting to see what happens.  I do have to say that even though I have been breaking out, I've noticed that the acne heals faster.
I want to add that I am using the New Neutrogena Pink grapefruit cleanser so maybe a combination of using this cleanser and the moisturizer is what is helping my acne heal faster.

The Clean & Clear Dual moisturizer costs: $6.49 for 4 oz
If you have oily-acne prone skin and want a good cheaper moisturizer alternative give it a try!
See ya lovelies <3
