2010-08-24T22:27:00.000-07:00

fall.

i try to stay trendy

as well as have my own lil twist.

although grey nailpolish may be in,

i don necessarily rock it

if i find i don find it chic or attractive

its not for moi :)

here's a few trends i find beautiful

& hopefully these will be of use to u this fall =)

dark or metallic blues/purples/reds

knee high & thigh high boots

these were seen @ multiple fall shows

stud & chain detail

purple/brown smokey eye

leather jackets avec personality

sweater dresses & heels

hope this was helpful, ladies (:

stay beautiful,

Summer Loves

2010-05-18T12:16:00.000-07:00

UD Score blush, Body Shop 'Yes yes yes'

Stila Cranberry lip glaze, Mac Posey cream blush,

mini PINK fresh & clean body mist, Stila sheer pressed powder.

must haves atm :)

why?

UD Score blush is summer in a compact !

a gorgeous blend of peachy pink & gold,

smooth to the touch & also makes for a lovely

eyeshadow.

the combo of Stila's cranberry (juicy berry red)

avec Body Shop's yes yes yes = a slightly more wearable

berry/bright lip- very summer yet very everyday.

Mac's posey cream blush is sucha nice product..

i really don't see why many have said they dislike

Mac's cream blushes, they last really well on my oily skin!

use a lil on tha apples & you look fresh & summery!

PINK fresh & clean body mist <3

this smells amaaaazing!

i carry it with me in my purse

& i always get compliments when i freshen up

plus its just so cute :) lol

Stila sheer pressed powder..

this is the best powder i've ever come across!

no joke.. when i'm shiny in my t-zone,

all i need is a small amount of this & i'm good

it doesn't look cakey & the compact is adorable.

there is also my chanel lip balm..

which i do not reccomend, as it's totally not worth the cost

i'm jus usin it up & it accidently made the pic :P

ps so sorry i've been MIA, jus haven't been feeling too great!

hope you're all well, girls :)

but it is a gorgeous golden peach,

that makes me look o so sunkissed. :)

Rimmel Volume Booster gloss

but its a bright coral + tiny sparkles

it plumps a bit, and lasts long!

swatch of the blush (up) & lipgloss

this pic doesn't do justice for the blush :/

Mac 'Woodwinked' e/s

i'm sure u've heard everyone & their grandma

rave about this.. lol!

embracing my 'anything dark' obsession,

this particular one is a dark, rich purple

it says '12' under the bottle,

i carry your heart with me

(i carry it in my heart)

i am never without it

(anywhere i go you go, my dear;

and whatever is done by only me

is your doing, my darling)

i fear no fate

(for you are my fate, my sweet)

i want no world

(for beautiful you are my world,

my true)

and you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;

which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

- ee cummings

current obsession;

2010-02-17T20:35:00.000-08:00

2010-02-03T18:38:00.000-08:00

hi girliess..
i have great news -
I GOT A JOBBB ! :) :D
omg, i'm so happy.. lol
thus i'm in that 'bloggerish' mood ;)

so for two weeks or so..

i've really been enjoying a few things

korres lipbutter in

pomegranate

rimmel 'gloss over' - the pinky one

rimmel lasting finish in

'pink blush'

korres lip butter

j'adore this..

it makes my lips feel so great,

smells like sweet.. something, lol

and has a really pretty color to it!

i got this in a deal of 3 @ sephora..

wanted to use up the least pretty first,

and even THATS pretty.. lol dammit

rimmel 'gloss over'

i rediscovered this in my stash &

its uh-ma-zingg..

it has a fuschia gloss, medium pink,

baby pink, coral pink & reddish pink..

?! what more do you neeed

it always matches my make up..

cus it has like every color for every look :)

no smell to it,

not opaque but not too sheer..

just right, i'd say

esp for its cost!

i'm really loving this atm..!

andd rimmel 'pink blush'

this is a very pretty baby pink

it smells like candyy, yum!

as it can look a bit barbie-like..

i put a bit o' 'yes yes yes', bodyshop over

and VOILAA :) gorgeous..

wonder if they'll come out with anything similar

hopefully this time-

with that conditioning ability it advertises? :)

xoxo

The Bronzed & The Beautiful

2010-01-27T14:12:00.000-08:00

such great things to say about this little gem!

comes in:

an adorable, summery box + mirror

it contains:

2 blush/highlighters & a light & dark bronzer

adorable, useable, soft kabuki

sooo..

i've been using this for about 8 months..

and STILL have lots to go!

it's soft and pigmented

all the products have a pretty sheen

it brightens up the face & makes you look like..

u just came back from vacation!

i'd def reccomend if you like sheen & glowyness

although its a wonderful product,

one thing doesn't make sense to me-

2.5 grams of the bronzer,

2.5 of the blush..

4 g of other highlighter/blush?

it'd make more sense if it were 4 g of bronzer, right ?

even still, i find it has a lot of product & i love it :)

& hey, maybe they had their reasons?! lol

just opening it makes me happy..

it's all just so cutee!

its suppose to be limited edition but i see it like

everytime i'm in sephora.. lol

don't ask why i still bought a back up :)

2010-01-19T23:16:00.000-08:00

a review.

2010-01-19T19:22:00.000-08:00

rimmel lasting finish lipstick in 'pink blush'

so i walked into walmart last night

looking for 'pink champagne'..

thought i picked it up,

brought the lipstick home

and supriseeee -

pink blush? what the? lol

luckily it was a cute color :)

so my first thoughts were barbie pink..

and i still feel its veery barbie

i'd never apply this perfectly onto the lips,

just dabs..

as this could be too much -

its very pigmented and very pink..

kinda like mac color crafted

the formulation is very nice,

it doesn't dry out the lips &

actually feels a bit moisturizing!

it smells like vanilla fudgish

lasts pretty well too

esp for its price :)

def wanna see into more colors..

rimmel lipsticks = <3

xoxoxo

=]

2010-01-16T22:04:00.000-08:00

cheek combo :)

2010-01-15T13:13:00.000-08:00

heeey lovelies..

thought i'd share a prettyy sweet cheek combo :)

i'm sorry about tha quality of my pix

i kno its kinda poop.. :(

i'm working on improving that tho so plz bare with

Rimmel Santa Rose blush: soft pinky coral

Mac Well-dressed blush: baby pink with sheen

Mac Shell cream color base: pinkish with silver sparkle

gorgeous baby coral pink with sheen

& a pinky, silver sparkle hightlight

top - Rimmel Santa Rose

bottom - Well-dressed

right - comboo :)

excuse my head in the back.. lol

i tried to swatch shell but it didn't turn up :(

however the colors fit so perfect

very soft & feminine yet noticeable.

i'm loving it <3

this picture of the combo -

doesn't even do justice tho!

i am the biggest sucker for cheek products..

hugeee obsession of mine..

has a huge effect on the face, in my opinion!

hope you enjoyed this post ladies =]

<3

be a fashionista..

2009-12-27T12:31:00.000-08:00

what do you love about the exciting world of fashion?

for me, it's all about mixing it up.
and by that i mean not fitting into a category
such as punk, preppy, etc

i love brands like michael kors, coach, gucci
cause they really add a bit of everything into their products.

when i walk around in tha mall,
almost immediately i spot girls that fit into the categories..
i admire people who step out of the typical thing to wear
i myself do my best to spice it upp,
though without over powering it..
thats a big no no!

spicing it up means adding a little somethin' somethin'

a studded bag, heels, hoops and a smokey eye?

hot

a sweater, jeans, studs and a neutral eye?

gets boring fast

here are some great celeb examples of what i mean

now if i saw these ladies at tha mall,

i'd def think they belonged in a magazine..

not cause of who they are,

but how they wore what they wore :)

here are a couple of tips on how to spice it up!

i own this bag from f21

it adds a special something to many outfits

don't you think?

not neccassarily to this extent,

colorful nails or over accessorizing

plays a major role in the world of fashion

don't over do it, but have fun :)

style is a major part of other people's impression of you

you wanna look interesting, classy, sexy and smart!

(i do anyways)

i hope you all have a faaab sunday!

<33

what's in my bag ?

2009-12-26T21:54:00.000-08:00

yees, cupppcakes :)

for no reason, i've decided to do a

'what's in my bag'

lol..

it may not be of anyone's interest,

but here it goes :)

bag of tha moment..

f21

love it! its droopy,

some chain detail

& gold hardware

and here's all tha good stuff in it..

well, good for me :)

ipod, phone, keys, wallet,

make up bag,

mini berry flavor sanitizer,

body shop 'yes yes yes',

emergency brush, clinique moisturizer,

pink shell hair clip,

'lovely' by jessican parker spray

anddd 5 gummm.

la make up bag

- a little dior envelope looking bag i got from my besty

rimmel volume booster (not really)

beauty rush lip gloss

gosh darling

clinique, violet berry

nyx strawberry milk

rimmel soft coral

burt's bees champagne

swatches anyone?

(in order as mentioned above)

if i go to say.. the gym..

i will bring studio fix powder,

eyeliner, blush

but most places...

a handful of lippes does it :)

well, i hope this was fun to read..

i tag all fellow bloggers :)

hope you all are warm & cosy!

kisses

i heart people with style.

China Glaze

China Glaze's "Tantalize Me" is Mac's "Stars n' Rockets" in nail poish form almost exactly.

It's a lighter lilac with blue reflects..!
l o v e :)

baby haul (:

2009-09-18T19:21:00.000-07:00

heey pretty ladies..

well, i just came back from a huge sale at walmart, and anyone who knows me will tell you exactly what i would do at such an event.

make up shop
:)

i bought 3 lippes, and my beloved wet n wild liquid liner (i do have others i love, but this is $5, long lasting and a very dark black; can't go wrong!)

top to bottom: maybeline, revlon, rimmel.

the lippies.

* rimmel - soft coral
a really pretty buildable coral color with little silver sparkles which feel a bit gritty, but worth it in this case due to 1) gorgeous color 2) price.

* revlon - persian melon
a gorgeous, buildable, deep, hot pink. i'd call this a rasperry.

* maybeline - coral crush
a gorgeous vibrant coral... which reaks of play dough! umm, no more of these for me, thanks..
i don't mind a lip product that doesn't smell very pretty, but one that stinks is just too much for me.. that being said, it shall be a little gift to my sister :)

and now the break down..
my favorite lipstick was the revlon, really soft and great pigmentation.
the rimmel one is gorgeous but i feel like i have sand on my lips. i'll see about a future re-purchase, lol.
and as for the maybeline, gorgeous coral.. i just can't get over the very strong smell of play dough though, so thats a definate no no, it now belongs to my sister..!
i mean i have nars lip glosses which smell ever so slightly of plastic (not a horrid smell to me) but this stuff.. ew.
so thats my review :)

i hope the picture helped..!

have a fab friday night, girls =)

<33<33

a review.

2009-09-17T10:14:00.000-07:00

hi girlies :]
so i'm about to get ready for work, but before that..
i thought i'd share my love for this product with u :)

this here, ladies.. is my favorite moisturizer :) i know there are very nice high end moisturizers (clinique was okay, better in the winter for me), but for now, for me.. this is it! it works greaaat with my skin.. my skin can be dry but tends to get shiny through out the day, so before i do my make up, i need a moisturizer that will take care of my dry bits & will not encourage the shine!

for those of you who have tried the chanel hydramax moisturizer.. this is very similar, for about five times less the price! why spend so much money on something that you will need all the time, is hidden under your make up and will finish quickly? its like going out and paying $60 for a deodrant. :) i'm not saying we shouldn't pay for good skin products, but i think if there is something similar that will save you money for clothing, accessories and make-up, i'm ohhkaaay with that.. :)

this is what i use, and have been using for a while now and my oh my, does it work.. it has a very fresh, cool, light weight feeling on the skin and smells really fresh as well. its not expensive, and very easy to find for me.. I would recommend this to tha ladies who like something light weight, affordable and effective..! my mom brought me on to this, and then we both brought it on to my sister :)

its true love.. <3

dream a little dream of me.

2009-09-16T21:41:00.000-07:00

heeey bloggers..

well, my shopping addiction is really getting to be a pain in the butt !
its like everytime i come home from buying everything i thought i wanted/needed, i come up with like 10 more :(
not for long..!

my goal this month:

less purchases and more learning new things.

although i love fashion, and had so many plans about becoming a designer, i think i wanna go into something totally different.. food.

who doesn't love a good cook?

i know i do :)

but since i will be trying to buy less.. i have come up with a small wishlist before i go for it :)

(i know, im sucha cheater :P)

* Nars Desire.. are we a little too old for the dolly bright pink blush, or can we still have fun with it? still thinking about this one.

* i really want fawn over me and dandy brandy by benefit's velvet eyeshadows. so happy i have rich beach and bikini line.. and oooooh myyyy.. so creamy, so dreamy :)

* nyx blushes.. i need about 2 more so i can be satisfied, the price makes it so easy to let myself.. loveee

* silver hoops, real ones - i get infections when i use fakes :(

* blah, sooner or later.. winter shoes.. should i go ugg or moccasins?

yaah, so please do tell me what you think..

is a cook a good way to go? bright pink blush not allowed?

much love,

xoxoxo

i love to read & watch..

2009-09-16T14:34:00.000-07:00

2009-09-16T13:46:00.000-07:00

so this is my first entry into blog world.. hi :)
i thought i'd start off by doing one of my favorite types of blogging,
f a v o r i t e s of the moment :)

1. rimmel lip gloss - yes, we all love our pricey lip glosses, but some of these rimmel ones are so nice, very affordable and great to carry around during the day!

2. my Dior Original Tan bronzer.. It is beautiful.
i have it in 002 honey tan, and the color is not only gorgeous, it gives a lovely sheen..
=)

3. my st ives apricot srub.. so effective, very pretty smelling, and cheap!

4. benefit velvet eyeshadows - these things are amazing.
they just go on so smooth, so pigmented..!
i think i might look into more colors :)

so thats it for now, i hope this was somewhat interesting, lol :)
xoxo
