Hello you beautiful stalkers!!!! It's Halloween and I hope you had a fabulous one with friends, family and those you love to be silly with. I am working on several things to get back into blogging mode. I know I have been lost for a while and I am missing all the random stuff I want to share. I will also be working on my Youtube channel as well, so don't fret. So I wanted to share a little bit of what I did on all Hallow's Eve. I had a fabulous time tonight in my neighborhood giving out candy. We have a lot of children that come by and it is so fun to have them come to the house looking so cute and excited about collecting candy! :)
I just love the fall, It really is one of my favorite times of year. So as for myself, I really didn't do a traditional costume and that was pretty much the plan all along. I have this cute little outfit to lounge in that is specific for halloween with pumpkins, black cats and candy corn all over. It's super comfy, so I knew I was going to wear that to give out candy. Marlena, the makeupgeek had done a tutorial on candy corn makeup and it blew me away! I love we she and I have so much alike and I feel in love with how the look came out on her. So I decided that I definitely wanted to do my makeup like that for tonight. I will be adding some pics, but wanted to share the products I was wearing:

Primer: Mally Perfect primer for face
Foundation: Dior Nude liquid foundation in Medium Beige - 030
Concealer:  It Cosmetics Bye Bye under eyes
Eye primer: Urban Decay Primer Potion
Shadows: Sugarpill's Buttercupcake (yellow) and Flamepoint (Orange). Magnolia Makeup in Orb (White)- Review for Magnolia Makeup coming for Curvymag! :)
Black Eyeliner: Mally Evercolor Liner in Midnight
Brows: It Cosmetics Brow Power
Lashes: Model21 - (Review coming for those on Curvymag, so stay tuned) :)
Mascara: Voluminous Million Lashes WaterProof
Finishing Powder: Mally Skin Finisher & Face Defender for touch ups (A MUST HAVE)
Blush: Vapour Cream Blush in Torch
Highlighter: Smashbox liquid shimmer

So that seems to be everything, I hope you like how this came out. I was really happy and it was so fun to do! Have a fabulous week my loves and remember to stay beautiful! Xoxo

Hello to all my gorgeous stalkers!!! I know it has been a while since I have posted, but I am coming back. I have truly been dedicating all my time to Curvy Magazine. I have now been made the new Beauty Editor and it has become one of the all time best experiences of my life. I get to combine my two passions: Writing and Makeup. I truly feel blessed and am working my hardest to do my best and succeed. Anyhow, so back to the topic at hand: I have a product RAVE!!!! Today I am sharing my new all time favorite powders: The Diorskin Nude natural glow fresh powder. It is the most finely milled mineral pigment powder blended with 100% natural pigments and Dior's exclusive active mineralized water to deliver flawless, glowing skin. This powder is truly everything it says to be and more. After applying this as finishing powder you really don't even need anything else. Not even a setting powder, it truly does all the work and leaves your face looking amazing. The first time I used it, I felt like my skin looked airbrushed. Even with the humidity of being in South Florida in the summer didn't affect the look of my complexion. I am truly in love with this powder and can tell you from experience that the finish will change how you see your face FOREVER.... I got it at sephora on one of my stalking adventures. You can also get it at any Dior counter in your local department stores. I hope this review was helpful and I can't wait to bring you another awesome product!!! Until then remember, Peace, Love and Beauty always.... Xoxo

Hello my gorgeous stalkers!!!! I know it has been awhile since my last post, but I am here and very excited to be coming to you with this review. Lately within the past month I have been on a foundation hunt and had a list of different ones I wanted to try out. I am still working on the ones I have gotten and will be writing and reviewing each. There are also a few that I am still on the lookout for. In my last sephora haul I actually purchased two high end foundations that I had heard good things about and wanted to try. The one that I am going to talk about today is the Josie Maran matchmaker serum foundation. It of course is made with Argan Oil as all of the line's products are. You basically have two choices when purchasing the foundation. You can either get the light to medium and the medium to tan. They are formulated to match your skins tone to give you wonderful coverage and a flawless finish. They are designed with chameleon pigments that work to match your skin as soon as it is applied. The liquid comes out white and then matches your skin tone while nourishing it.  It is really cool and when applied with the proper brush, it can leave a gorgeous finish. I was a little hesitant at first, wondering if it might blend too light or even have too much pigment that would leave it darker on my skin. I honestly found that it is very true to its claim and is a really fabulous product. It doesn't feel heavy or thick and has an amazing and buildable coverage. I see it starting as a tinted moisturizer feel, that then can become a medium coverage foundation.  Since I have combination skin with some dry areas, I love the feel of this serum on my skin. I also felt it to be pretty long lasting after I wore it for about ten hours. It didn't oxidize or fade throughout the day. I have been a fan of this line for a while having tried a few items, but this was one that I can see myself using and repurchasing. It can be a little pricey  at $42 for the size of the bottle(1 Fl Oz), but it is worth it. You can keep it for your special occasions if you like. I truly suggest you giving it a try to have as one of your higher end foundations. The consistency, color payoff and longwear are the best reasons I can give to give a try. You can purchase this at Sephora stores or sephora.com as well as through QVC.com.  I hope this review was helpful and I will be doing a video for my YT channel soon, so be on the lookout. Until then, always remember: Peace, love and beauty always!!!! Xoxo

Here is the video on my favs for the month of April! Be sure to check out product reviews on www.curvymagazine.com!! Xoxo

Here is the second part of my haul sweethearts!!! Sephora it is, enjoy!

One of two videos going up today!!! Check it out...

L'Oreal Paris Announces the Sixth Annual Women of Worth Awards - Call For Nominations Begins April 11th

 

Honoring Extraordinary Women Dedicated to Volunteerism and Community

Nominate a Woman of Worth: April 11 - June 30 at womenofworth.com

I just wanted to share this on my blog, because Dani was kind enough to recognize and award me! :)

makeup by danisaddiction: The Versatile Blogger Award! :): "My first blog award! Yay!! ;) I was surprised to see this...my blog is so new. So first I would like to thank the ..."

These blushes are amazing, long wearing and do not fade or oxidize! Baked in the sun from Amazonian clay, they have a true, amazing pigment, fabulous packaging & look beautiful. The best part is that they are good for all skin types and the color range is great for all skin types. For oily skin types, Amazonian clay minimizes oil in and around pores to balance skin and keep product in place. They are also matte and give a beautiful finish! Those with dry skin will benefit from the clay's nourishing and hydrating properties, which naturally restore skin's moisture. These can be bought at Sephora stores, Sephora.com or tartecometics.com & Retail at $25.00 USD.

***Please note that there are certain colors exclusive to Sephora***

· Benefit’s Coralista – Who doesn’t love Benefit? They are a gorgeous brand and their boxes have become infamous within makeup artists and the beauty community! With the rising trend in Corals and Oranges for Spring, Coralista is a classic. It is described as “Take a tropical pleasure trip with CORALista. Sweep this warm coral pink powder onto cheeks anytime, anywhere. Move your brush to the beat & turn up the heat... bikini optional! These can be purchased at Sephora stores, Sephora.com and Benefit.com and retail for $28.00 USD.

· NARS Super Orgasm- One of my favorite lines and colors, Super orgasm is a highly pigmented, shimmery peach/pink. It gives a gorgeous glow on the skin and adds that touch of shimmery light. Definitely a staple for my collection and not for those who aren’t fans of shimmer. It is best described as: “NARS Super Orgasm Blush: NARS amps up their legendary NARS Orgasm to bring you Super Orgasm - the universally flattering shimmering peachy pink blush with an extra dose of golden sparkle. The super sexy pink flush gives the effect of an ultimate super, uh hum, afterglow.” This can be purchased at Sephora stores and Spehora.com

· Urban Decay Afterglow Glide On Cheek Tint in Crush- My current holy grail of cream blushes. I have tried a few different types of cream blush always with the same results. They can be way too thick in consistency and feel heavy on the skin. They can also cause me to breakout because I am prone to oily/acne type skin. This stays true to its name because it literally glides on the cheek with amazing pigment and gorgeous finish. Plus it is good for the skin! It is light and beautiful on the skin and gives the most amazing flush! It is described by Sephora as: This cheek tint can be applied on top of foundation or bare skin without that powdery, cakey effect that can result from use of powder blush. The formula is loaded with good-for-you ingredients like Vitamins E, C, and A, so your skin gets nourishment and protection along with a dose of healthy-looking color. This can be purchased at Sephora stores, Sephora.com and Urbandecay.com and retails for $24.00 USD

Now I know that the blushes that I have listed in this blogpost and on my video are mainly high end. That does not mean that I don’t like drugstore brand blush. These are just my current top five. I did get some in my last haul, which you can see on my Youtube channel, and I am love them. I just wanted to share the ones that I am reaching for the most right now. Milani and Neutrogena I hope this information and review was helpful for you all and please feel free to comment on your favs and opinions!!! Never forget to use your "Cheesy smiley face” when applying your blush and remember Love, peace and beauty to you always….. Xoxoxo

To all my gorgeous stalkers,

Have you been on the lookout for the perfect mascara? Are you trying different brands both high end and drugstore only to find that they leave you dissatisfied? It leaves those lovely black rings under your eyes and flakes on your cheeks. If you suffer from teary eyes like I do, it can be very annoying. I have issues with keeping shadows on in my inner corners of the eye and if I have allergies, my mascara usually hates me. The interesting is that we all want to have those luscious, long, voluptuous lashes. I think that is one of the very few parts of our bodies that we want to be big and we do all that we can to make it happen. We curl them, plump them, add serums to make them grow as well as prime them to hold whatever mascara we use. This is when we aren’t using fake eyelashes of course. ;) It can be a siege to find the right one and as a true to heart makeup stalker, I can admit to how tough a journey it can be. I have had mascaras that flake and by the end of the workday, we almost gone. I don’t have the blessing of having naturally long lashes. It’s kind of like how my friend who is a guy has these long, flowing lashes that are jet-black and go on for days. Really??? Are you serious?? Is there any reason why I should find that fair? Lol Oh well, we have to play with the cards we are dealt, so back to the matter at hand. This was hard for me to choose only five. I have a few different brands, but these really work well for me and are great when I only want to go for a natural look with mascara and gloss only. So, without further delay, here are the top 5:

· Fiberwig LX – This is a latex binding mascara that has little fibers on the brush. It forms tubes around the lash to create a lengthening effect. It does not smudge or fade and can be removed with warm water. This is sold at Sephora and retails for $24.00 USD

· Bare Escentuals Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara- It has a tapered wand built to lengthen the lash and make it long and luscious. It is also pigmented to darken the lash as much as possible. This is sold at Ulta, Sephora and bareescentuals.com and retails for $18.00 USD

· Mally Beauty Volumizing Mascara- This mascara was created to make your lashes long and thick. One of the top mascaras sold today and it was acknowledged as a top rated choice by QVC consumers. It is sold solely through QVC and QVC.com, it retails for $20.00 for one or you can save by getting 2 for $28.00 USD.

· L’oreal Double Extend Illuminator Mascara- This is a gorgeous two-step system meant to lengthen and illuminate your eyes. They are developed to enhance your particular eye color. It is doubled ended mascara with a regular lengthening mascara on one end and an illuminator on the other. It is sold at Wal-mart, Ulta, and most drugstores and retails for $9.99 USD.

· L’oreal Voluminous million mascara- With it’s gold and luxurious packaging, this mascara was developed to volumize and separate lashes flawlessly. Formulated with the patented millionizer brush that makes lashes look amazing! It is sold in drugstores nationwide and retails between $7.99 - $11.99 USD.

I hope this was fun and informative for you all. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment below!!! Love, peace and beauty to you all…..Xoxo

Hello all my beauty stalkers.....

Hello all my gorgeous stalkers:
I wanted to do a follow up post to my Haircare 2011 video that I have posted on my YT and shared here on the blog. There are so many amazing brands of hair care out in the world today. Women and men live to go to the salon to get their hair cut, colored and treated. The beauty of these brands is that they allow for you to take care and maintain your color and quality of your hairstyle. Like I said in my video, I have very fine hair. When I was in high school, it was a lot thicker and big in curly. If you watch my video, you can see a fun little flashback of me rocking some big 80's curls. I always loved to get my hair done since I was very young. I lived in the salon with my mom watching her get beautiful haircuts and color. I always tried to be trendy with my styles and remember some crazy styles & colors I had. :)  In my twenties, I used to live to get my hair done with one of my bestest friends. We worked together and lived to plan when we were going to the salon and what we were going to do! Remember Susie Lol?? Anyhow, these days I am just as obsessed with keeping my hair healthy because I have done so many things to it. Here are some things that I mentioned in the video, but didn't really press upon too much. I am a firm believer in vitamins and it is essential to take biotin as well as vitamin E to promote strong hair, skin and nails. The most important thing is to drink a lot of water all the time. Water isn't only good for your hair, but also for your body in general. I really try to force myself to drink all I can. I also believe that deep conditioning is a must for all hair types. Even someone like me who has a tendency towards an oily scalp, I try to deep condition my ends once a week. That is where all the breakage is. It is also imperative that when you blow dry that you to it on warm heat. Heat is the biggest stress that we put on our hair and high heat can damage the follicles. Look into sulfate free shampoos such as L'oreal Ever Pure and Ever Sleek. They are great lines for clarifying once a week. One vital thing as well is to ALWAYS use a heat protector if you are going to flat iron. I cannot stress this enough. It is a great preventative for damage to your ends. Always keep in mind that the products that you use do not always have to come from the Salon or be very pricey. There are so many amazing brands that you can find in the drugstore, wal-mart, kmart, etc. In my video I did mention a little of each. I am big on Moroccan and Macadamia Natural oil lines because I do have sensitive hair. I also use L'oreal for purifying and organix to mix it up. That is something that is very important, you can change up your lines every month or two so that your hair gets the maximum benefits. Just don't be sold by one thing, go with what feels good for you and what you can afford. I hope this was helpful for you and I will include some pics of my products that I am using now! Until next time....Love, peace and beauty always!!!! Xoxo

Hello to all my beauty stalkers!

 Do you spend your life planning, worrying and stressing about anything and everything in your life? Do you wake up and get out of the shower only to look in the mirror and not like what you see? Do you look at yourself thinking that you look tired, haggard and not happy with yourself? You are NOT the only one! This happens everyday and this post isn't to tell you about what new product is out and send you buy anything. This is to tell you that you the most imperative item is in your beauty collection and you overlook it every single day: Your confidence!!!! That love for yourself that you need to make you smile and not care about what the world can throw at you. The best gift we have as human beings is the ability to change who we are. If there is something that we are not happy with, we can just take the initiative to make it better. It can be anything, emotional, mental or physical! The most frequent occurrence is when we let others affect how we live OUR lives. That is the hardest thing to overcome and it is vital to look at ourselves and make a stand to change that. NO ONE can dictate who you are or who you will become. You are so amazing and unique in your own special and were made for greatness!!! You have to tell yourself that every single day: You were made for GREATNESS! The most important saying is the truest of all: "In order to love someone, you must love yourself first". This is so true because so many get lost trying to please others and they are never happy. When I was planning my first filming of my videos, I was scared about how I would "like" myself on camera. I even stated it on Twitter asking my followers to say a prayer for me. It was then I got the best message from a very special person that told me that if I didn't believe in myself, no one else would. She was completely right! I mean your inner voice is imperative to accomplishing even the smallest task. Only you can tell yourself that you can do something and actually be confident enough to do it. This post is so important for me because I have been intimated so many times when starting this blog and my YT channel. Society is very complex and judgemental these days and with the Internet, those of us that are out there are exposed to everything! I created this for myself and my YT channel is all for me and those who believe in me. I know that I can do anything and I will do all I can to give myself a positive boost everyday! Are you up to the same challenge? I leave you with one of my favorite songs that is so true in its lyrics. Enjoy my gorgeous people...... <3 <3 <3 always and laugh often!!!
