Summer Glow

Hey everyone i did a neutral look with a pop of color for my daughters moving up ceremony and i wanted to share with you all. i haven't used my pressed pigments in a while. i just grabbed mac's melon pigment i love using this color during summer time.also i didn't get the chance to do my brows so please excuse them but i think i did a good job making them look decent one of my fave thing to do when it comes to applying makeup is doing my brows.
 p.s. i think I'm finally warming up to blue color  =)

Sephora Haul

It's Haul time !!! so i really wanted to try out some products and purchase some items from my long and never ending list.i purchased ysl foundation but the shade i was matched with is completely off color so went back to sephora hoping i will get a perfect match but that didn't happen so i ended up returning the foundation.i really wanted the foundation to work for me cause the texture was amazing it blended so smoothly and felt weightless I'm really bummed out =( 

 

Origins Skin Protecting Facial Kit (Price $39.50)

I'm seriously getting hooked on origins i bought this little kit mainly cause i want to try out the charcoal mask and skin guardian .so i thought why not go for this kit and try out the products before i purchase the full size products.i will do a review once I'm done testing them out.

Sephora By Opi I Gotta Blush On You (Price $9.50)

Origins Ginger Hand Lotion (Price $16.00)

My husband introduced me with this hand cream he goes out of town for work purpose and the hotel he was staying at last year they had all origins and aveda products and he was telling me how awesome this hand lotion feels and he bought me the lotion ever since then i have been using this lotion and i love it thanks to my hubby he is the best !!

 

Dior Skin Shimmer Star *02 Amber Diamond (Price $45.00)

Mac Heaux Lipstick

Mac Heaux Lipstick (Price $15.00 3g)
Retro Matte Finish

Mac Heaux is a retro matte finish,berry shade lipstick from RiRi <3 Mac Summer Collection.i really like this raspberry shade lipstick perfect for fall but i will be rocking this during summer as well.if you own Mac's Ruby Woo then you are already familiar with the consistency of these lipsticks but this new retro matte finish lipsticks are little less drying than ruby woo. i see people comparing this to Mac's Rebel lipstick but i lost my rebel so i couldn't do a comparison =( also check out RiRi Woo if you are wondering how that looks.i skipped everything else from this collection cause i don't know i wasn't impressed =\ i wanted to get the lustre drops but i changed my mind on that and i skipped RiRi Boy cause i have way too many violet/lavender color lipsticks so i ended up purchasing Heaux and a backup for RiRi Woo.next time I'm definitely getting a back up for Heaux as well.

Summer Season

MAC Lipstick (Price $15.00)

Its official summer is here so for the first day of summer i want to share my fave summer lipsticks with you all. i tried to keep it up to 10 but that didn't happen so its total of 11 lip sticks.

*Mac Candy Yum Yum & Mac Pink Nouveau 

I love candy yum yum i will admit i was afraid of the bright neon pink color at first but i got over it.pink nouveau is one of my FAVE pink lipstick of all time i wear this lipstick all around the year .

*Mac Vegas Volt & Mac Viva Glam Nicki

Vegas volt is a creamy bright orange coralish color it looks great on tan skin.viva glam Nicki is a bright pink with yellow undertone its a gorgeous shade.

*Mac So Chaud 

I cant rave enough about this lipstick its my all time fave this is a bright reddish orange color love love love it!!

*Mac Ravishing

this is a light peachy coral its super creamy its very moisturizing on the lips .another shade that will look gorgeous on tan skin.

*Mac Shy Girl

this is a bit more toned down than ravishing this looks great with a smokey eye look.its describes as a creamy neutral coral beige color.

*Mac Yash 

I don't know about you but i have to have my nudes even during summer and yash is the perfect nude lippie for me.with a peachy lip liner this turns into a beautiful color love this.

*Wet n Wild #905 D Smokin' Hot Pink (Price $1.99)

Ever since i purchased this lipstick i have been wearing it non stop i don't think i have any shade like this.its super pigmented long lasting not to mention its only $1.99 now that's what you call a bang for you buck .

*NYX Round Lipstick Fig (Price $3.99)

This is such a sweet color i love this one and wear it all the time 

*NARS Dragon Girl Velvet Matte Lip Pencil (Price $25.00)

This is a rich vivid red and i love that it lasts so long i actually wore it out one night and it stayed on all night although i love macs ruby woo but ruby woo makes my lips very dry and chapped with this i didn't experience that.

so this concludes my top summer lipsticks hope you enjoyed please share whats your fave colors for summer i would love to hear from you all =)

Louis Vuitton Alma BB

Hey guys i purchased a bright color bag for summer i was really confused i had to choose between rose velours which is a nude ish color and rose Indian which is a deep pink i went with rose Indian.this comes with a removal shoulder strap I'm 5'3 and the straps is perfect for me not too long not too short. I'm happy with my choice its super cute and perfect for summer.i like the size of this bag even though it's small it's perfect for me i'm not a big bag type of girl i love medium to small cross body bags. but i had to search and hunt this bad boy down i got the last one from Macy's but there was some spots on that bag, so i had to exchange & wait blah blah after all the hassle i finally got a brand new one its made in France =D please watch the video for more pictures =)

 

because of the flash the color looks different but in person its really more of a deep pink color

Lucky Green

 Hey guys i did a quick look and wanted to share with you all. i went with occ lip tar in narcissus first then i changed it to mac pink nouveau lipstick and topped it with mac fashion fanatic plush glass.

Chanel Le Volume De Chanel Mascara

 

  

Chanel Le Volume De Chanel Mascara 10 Noir (Price $30.00 6 g)

I think i finally found my HG mascara i have had my fair share of trying out mascara's thanks to sephora .none of them gave my flat lifeless lashes the amount of volume like Chanel's LVDC did.let's talk about the packaging its slick and glossy with Chanel CC's on top of the mascara tube.i love one thing about this mascara is when you close it you can hear a click which means theres no air going in so the mascara will last you longer without getting dried out. the bristles of this mascara is straight and shorter in length which makes it easier to get to those hard to reach corners.this mascara is not waterproof which is a another thing i love about this mascara I'm not a big fan of water proof mascara's .this mascara is extremely black i mean really really jet black ,when i applied this the first time i was just amazed and surprised with just 2 coats of LVDC my lashes looked super long and volumized i have never seen my lashes look like this I'm definitely sold.

Here's how it looks after applying 2 coats of LVDC with out using a lash curler,seriously i couldn't stop looking at my lashes cause they never looked this long and thick (pictures don't do justice) and i didn't even need a lash curler!! thanks to Chanel LVDC.the pigmentation of this mascara is amazing doesn't smudge at all this instantly gives your lashes volume the name speaks for it self.if you are looking for a mascara that gives your lashes long thick volume look than you must try out Chanel Le Volume DE Chanel mascara I'm totally in love with this mascara i will gladly spend my $30 bucks and repurchase this =)

Tarte Maracuja C-Brighter Eye Treatment

 

Tarte Maracuja C-Brighter Eye Treatment (Price $38.00 0.35 oz )

*Formulated Without Parabens,Mineral Oil,Sulfate,Phthalates

I purchased this eye cream with high hopes based on the reviews it looked promising.this is a very thick  eye cream it moisturizes really well. a little goes a long way didn't irritate my eyes,i don't use this during day time due to the thick consistency i only use this at night time.I'm really not happy with this eye cream cause it just didn't perform as well as i want it to.i don't have major issue with  dark circles i was hoping this would work for fine lines which i don't have a lot either but i want it to somewhat fade the lines that i do have.basically i have been using this for couple of months now and i didn't notice any change on the fine lines this didn't do anything for me beside keeping my under eye area moisturized.if you are looking for a eye cream that does a great job hydrating then this is the eye cream for you.other than that this doesn't do much i don't recommend this to those who are looking for a brightening effect. I'm still looking for a better eye cream hope i find one soon.

Ravishing

 

I think i did a similar look before but this time i paired it with a coral pinkish lip color.this was super easy and fast perfect for summer.all thought I'm not a fan of shimmering eye shadows i enjoyed this look 

hope you enjoy as well =)

p.s. please excuse my shiny nose i didn't use any primer,that's why my t zone was extremely oily =(
