Cute or complete miss?


So I'm sure you guys have seen pics of I guessing the newest trend, how to turn your boyfriends dress shirt into a dress. Personally, I think it's cute but I don't have the body type to wear it, if I did I would totally wear it, maybe. Although it is a daring trend because not many women would wanna be caught in it since it is short and the fact that it's a shirt and not dress.

I would love to hear y'all's thoughts on this.  Would you wear this?

Influenster Latina VoxBox 2012

So a couple of weeks ago I was notified by Influenster that I was picked to review products for their Latina VoxBox. Acouple of weeks ago I recieved my box and I couldn't wait to open it. I received six products: Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen SPF30, Veet Ready to use WaxStrips: leg and Body, Tampax and Always Radiant Collection, NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine, NEW Bath and Body WOrks Shea-Enriched Signature Collection Shower Gel and Always Radiant Infinity Pads. I decided to test these products for a couple of weeks starting with the day I got them. So without further to do I shall tell you guys what I think of them. :)



I shall start off with the Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen SPF30. I received this with my summer voxbox and my feelings toward it are the same. The bottle I received is a 2 Fl. Oz bottle, the price for ,I'm guessing, a regular 6 Fl. Oz bottle is $8.99. I think for that price is pretty good considering that this sunscreen is a lotion as well and will definitely keep your skin hydrated as it protects you from the sun. I definitely must admit the best thing about this sunscreen lotion is the smell, I absolutely love it! It's not very strong if your one of those people who are picky about smells.This lotion Sunscreen has 12-hour moisturization when out in the sun. Overall I would say this is a good product, and if you don't believe me you should try it yourself. :)


The next thing is the Veet Ready to use wax strips: leg and body. This product is suppose to remove hair and keep your legs feeling smooth for 28 days. The package contains 40 wax strips and I believe 10 wipes to remove the wax residue from your legs. A box cost $9.99. I did not like this product at all. It removed some hair but not all of it. It isn't painful at all,but I rather stick to shaving after all I'm just going to have to shave the parts where the wax strips didn't remove the hair. The wipes did not remove the wax that much from my leg. 


Moving along, the next product I received was another Tampax and Always radiant collectionThis collection consist of tampons, pads, and liners that tailor to a women's need. This collections also consist of a cute pouch. I love that the pad wrappers are re-seal-able making it easier to "disguise" your period. This was a bonus product to share with a friend or any other female. I gave the product to my mom. She loved it except for the fact that the pads had a scent, which was my whole dislike towards them. Of course, she loved the little pouch that came with it, she is now using it as a make-up bag. The price for the collection depends on which box you get. 


The next product is my absolute favorite from this voxbox and it is the NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine. It keeps your lips soft. It's pure pigments ingredients create 1 3-D gloss effect while Vitamin E provides shine and moisture. The non-sticky formula creates the ultimate creamy and soft textured feel. Available in 10 on-trend shades from neutral nudes to berries and fuschias. I love this product because unlike other glosses it doesn't have that sticky feeling. It also smells really good kinda like cotton candy. The one I received is in Nude. The price for this lipstick is $2.49.


My next favorite product is the NEW Bath and Body Works Shea-Enriched Signature Collection Shower Gel. The new exclusive formula is now enriched with Shea Butter, making it their richest, bubbliest lather that gives you softer, cleaner skin. Moisturizing Aloe Vera and skin-loving Vitamin E combine for lather that bursts with fragrance. The one I received is sweet pea and it smells so good. I love using it cause everytime I get out the shower my skin feels softer. The size of the one I received is 3 oz and the cost for this bottle would be $5 and for  a full size (10oz) is $11.


And finally the last product that was in my influenster box was Always Radiant Infinity Pads. These pads feature a unique technology, Infinice, that conforms to each individual shape delivering premium protection and performance. The pads offer a light, clean scent and Microdots for fast absorption to help women stay feeling fresh. A wider back and flexible wings provides increased coverage where you need it most. Even those these have a scent I like them. The scent is not noticeable at all which is cool. The cost for these pads are $6.99.

BH Cosmetics


I had purchased many items from BH Cosmetics a couple of months of go through a sale they were having. I've been trying to review them but every time I am going to something comes up and I have to delay the review. So with out further to do let's get started.

 The first thing I'm going to review is the 120 4th edition pallet. This pallet consists of mostly shimmery colors. However, some are not as shimmery as others. These colors are so vibrant and gorgeous. When you put a white base under them the colors becomes even brighter as you will see from my swatches. I will admit I  have not used all the colors from the pallet. I give this one two thumbs up it is worth the buy, especially when they are on sale.

L: Without a base R: With a white base



The second pallet I bought was the 88 Matte pallet and if you seen my tutorials you'll know that this is my favorite pallet. I love the colors they are so bright and just gorgeous. A little goes a long way. When used over a white base the colors become more intense. The only disappointment with this pallet is the yellow isn't as bright as I would want it to be. Also,another thing that is a disappoint with all their pallets is that the glue that holds the eye-shadows in place isn't very good I have two eye-shadows, one in each pallet, that pops out, but if you can live with that then the pallets are amazing. This is also another great buy since the colors are so amazing.
Swatches:
L: Without Base R: With a white base












I had gotten three eyeliners from them as well. The gel eyeliner is amazing it stays all day and doesn't budge at all,which is awesome the one I got is in onyx. However,the only thing that I do not like is that it is not as dark as I want it to be I have to go over it with an eye-shadow to make it dark.



I got the liquid eyeliner pen. That one is my absolute favorite. It easy to use and can give me a thin line when I want one or a thick line. It is amazing. It's budge proof as well which is good for this crazy Texas weather. I would say it is a must buy from them.




Finally,the last eyeliner I bought was their pencil liner in frost. I regret buying this. It doesn't show up on my waterline when I use it. So I tried to use it as a base to get my money's worth out of it. It hurts to do so, but of course I would probably keep trying to find some way to use it. I don't like this liner I don't know if the other ones are good so I can't speak for their whole collection all I know is that Frost isn't worth the buy. It's completely awful!
Swatches: Gel, Liquid pen, Frost






The last things I bought were two of their lip glosses. I got Studious and 80's Diva. Studious is more of a very light almost nude pink it's super pretty. 80's Diva is a very hot pink color, more or less and I love it.Out of these two my go to color is Studious. Both glosses are great in terms of color payout. The only things that I do not like is that they have that sticky feel to them and the colors don't last that long. I think they are great for the price they are sold at. I would probably try other colors from their collection.

Updates

Hello Peoplez, 
So ever day this week I've made a tutorial. The looks are different but they all have one thing in common they are colorful! I've been hard at work trying to get a video posted. I've been trying since Tuesday and I don't know why youtube wouldn't take it but anyways it is up now. So I've been busy making tutorials and I wanted to blog today but didn't really have anything to blog about so I thought I would just update y'all on my current activities. Oh, before I forget I posted my BH Cosmetics Review, you can find it in the review section, but let me know if it's now showing up. I've been having problems with it, but I think I fixed it. Changing topics, I've been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award by Dani Duffy of My Make-up and Beauty Obsession! It's such an honor! Well changing subjects again, I'm super excited about my up coming looks! If you are excited to see them follow my twitter I usually release a preview of the looks the night before upload the videos . Also, I have been hard at work creating a header and an ad button and if you would like to swap ads/buttons let me know. Well have a great day everybody, I'll talk to you soon.

Opposites Attract: Blue & Green

I came up with this super fun, colorful look. I use two colors and they are reversed in order on each eye and also are a different shade.

Products used on eyes:
  • Elf eyelid primer
  • BH Cosmetics 88 Matte Pallet (Grass Green, Dark Blue, Baby Blue, Dark Green)
  • Color Workshop Pallet (Highlight: Cream)
  • JLB Eyeliner in Black
  • Santee Mascara
Products used for the face:
  • Clean and Clear Moisturizer
  • True blend Mineral Powder
  • Elf Bronzing Powder
  • Color Workshop Peachy blush

Lips:
  • NYC Liquid Lip Shine (Nude)
Brushes Used:
  • Elf  Eye-shadow brush 
  • Elf Crease Brush
  • Mini Kabuki Brush
  • Elf Contour brush
  • Color workshop blush brush
Get the look:
  • Apply an eye-shadow primer or if you don't have one apply a concealer and go over it with a bit of powder, in this case I've used the concealer and powder.
  • Using a flat eye-shadow brush begin to apply a grass green color all over you lid.
  • Wipe off the brush and apply a baby blue to your other lid.
  • Moving on to a crease brush apply a dark blue to the lid that has the green, blend into the outer corner taking it into the crease. Do this for the other lid but using a dark green.
  • Apply a highlight color and blend into the crease colors. Apply some to the inner corner.
  • Tight line your top lid and line your water-line.
  • Apply Mascara
  • For the face I just applied powder over the moisturizer that I applied earlier.
  • Taking a contour brush and elf bronzing powder begin to contour your face, place it at the hollows of your cheek, temples, both sides of your nose (optional) and along your jaw line. This of course if optional and it will make your face appear slimmer.
  • Now using your blush brush begin to apply blush to the apple of your cheeks.
  • Apply a nude lipstick or lip gloss.

Wet n Wild Lipstick








A couple of weeks ago I went to Houston and my aunt had bought me a Wet n Wild Lipstick and a make-up sponge but I'm going to write a review for that tomorrow. I have never tried any of their lipsticks, so I was ecstatic to finally be able to try one. The one I got was 903C Just Peachy. I am in love with this lipstick! Ever since I've gotten it, I have been wearing it. The color is so pretty and I just absolutely love it. I t doesn't have that sticky feel that some lipsticks have when you wear them. Overall, this lipstick is amazing and if you haven't tried it you should

ifabbo Endorsed/Weekend Plans

Hello Peoplez,
Yesterday I was notified that my application has been approved and I am now endorsed by ifabbo! I'm so happy about it. I have no idea what else to say but I'm totally looking forward to this experience. :)

Finally the weekend has arrived! This weekend I was planning on putting up more reviews but my friend/sista from another mother is coming over today and I haven't seen her in what feels like forever. So my original plans will be put on hold until tomorrow. Today we might end up doing a "photo-shoot" maybe, who knows but if there is one I will definitely put pictures up. What are your guy's plan for the weekend?

I think that's enough blogging for the day I'm gonna go take a nap since I'm running on 4 hours of sleep.

Have a super fantabulous weekend!

London Soho New York Beauty Sponge

London Soho New York Beauty Sponge


As mentioned in yesterday's post while I was in Houston my aunt had bought me a lipstick and make-up sponge. I've been wanting one for the longest just to try it out. I love this sponge I think it's better to use than a brush, since it can better apply foundation under your eyes and around your nose. The only thing that I do not like about it, is that is easily stains. No matter how much I clean it I still have stains from my foundation on it. I can totally live with that but I rather it maintain it's pinkness. I know there are different one out there but I think this is the cheapest. I believe it was $7.99 at Wal-greens.
