The Makeup Eraser Review!

I finally decide to try the Makeup Eraser and I'm SOLD! My hesitation was obvious, I thought it was another "trendy" product that popular bloggers where talking about that would eventually end up being another too good to be true product. Well I was walking in sephora completely uninspired and unmotivated to buy makeup, yes one of those very uncommon days..... I decided to pick this and another product. If you follow me on Snapchat you know I have been on a no makeup month and so this sat on my vanity for a few weeks. 

Today I took the dust off my makeup brushes and decided to look put together, and I finally got my chance to try this makeup eraser towel. I had a full face of makeup and after wiping my face a few times with the towel wet my makeup was completely off. I was impressed but not completely sold, it still had to pass the toner test. I could not believe it guys The cotton pad was completely clean!!! I swear even after washing my face with face wash a few times I never had pass the toner test. 

If you don't already make sure you follow me on Snapchat (steffschoice) so you can see makeup hauls, reviews, makkeup tutorials and so much more!

Drugstore Product Of The Week: Neutrogena Makeup Remover Towelettes

I think we can all agree when I say the makeup companies have finally figured out how to make some of our makeup last ALL DAY!! While this is great, it does suck when it has to come off at night and all the rubbing and scrubbing won't remove it completely. I have tried a lot of wipes and while some have been ok the Neutrogena one is really THE BEST so far. The cloth is super soft and doesn't irritate my sensitive eyes and gets all of my makeup off. 

Las compañías de maquillaje por fin encontraron la clave para crear maquillaje resistente al agua y eso por la mayor parte es bueno pero no al momento de removerlo para acostarnos. Aveces me daba tanto pesar tener que lavarme la cara hasta tres veces para poder completamente removerme toda la mascara, y lineado de ojos. Por suerte encontré unas toallas que no solo me remueve el maquillaje sino que no me irrita la piel y mucho menos los ojos. La mejor parte es que son económicas y se consiguen en la mayoría de farmacias y hasta supermercados!

I had all waterproof makeup!

Stretch Marks? Saggy Loose Skin? Try This...

 I decided to buy this product even thought I have already faced the fact that no product out there can make my now 10 year old stretch marks magically disappear.... I have seen a lot of improvement in texture and depth after using this product and they are staring to look less noticeable or maybe I'm just used to seeing them. 

This however is not the reason I want to share this product with you all. My weight is always up and down, I can go from 125 to 140 in a matter of weeks, luckily I can loose it very easy too. This however is terrible for my skin as I'm loosing tone and this is no good. I have been using this product for a month now and I can really see a difference, especially on my lower back where I was really starting to notice the skin starting to sag a bit. I will definitely continue to use this and I'm trying my best to keep my weight in control (keep my grandmother away from the kitchen) as I know the older I get I might not be able to reverse the effects as easy.

Me decidí a comprar este producto a pesar de que ya he enfrentado al hecho de que ningún producto  puede hacer mis estrías de ya 10 años desaparecerán por arte de magia... He visto un montón de mejorias en textura y profundidad después de usar este producto, y se miran con una apariencia menos perceptible o tal vez sólo estoy acostumbrado a ver. 

Sin embargo, esto no es la razón que quiero compartir este producto con todos ustedes. Mi peso es siempre hacia arriba y hacia abajo, me puede pasar de 125 a 140 en cuestión de semanas, pero por suerte la puedo perder muy fácil también. Sin embargo, esto es terrible para mi piel como estoy perdiendo tono y no es bueno. He estado utilizando este producto desde hace un mes y yo puedo ver realmente la diferencia, sobre todo en la parte baja de la espalda donde realmente estaba empezando a notar la piel comienza a guindar un poco. Sin duda, me siguen a usar este y estoy tratando lo mejor que puedo para mantener mi peso en el control (mi abuela fuera de la cocina)  los mayor que me ponga  no va a ser tan fácil de revertir los efectos de engordar y rebajar tan rápido.

Get Rid Of Dark Circles With This/ Desaparece Tus Ojeras Con Esto...

If you are wondering why I haven't done any fashion posts, or makeup the reason is  I look like I haven't slept in weeks! And i kinda haven't, between home repairs, and my beautiful three year old sleeping with us every night I haven't had a beauty sleep in weeks.  Dark circles along with large pores and acne scars, is one of the most annoying things we come across as women (and even men) A super easy and effective way to remove dark circles and even lighten skin all over your face and body is using potatoes! Potatoes have catecholase which are in all of those really expensive face brighteners you buy from department stores. All you need to do is use the purree of one raw potato and apply it all over your eyes. If you are applying to your eye area make sure you don’t get any in your eyes! Leave on your face for 15 minutes before washing your face as usual! You can repeat this 3 times a week if needed! If you find you need a little moisture, try adding just a few drops of honey or Vitamin E oil. Good Luck Xxx

Si usted se está preguntando por qué no he hecho ningún look de moda, o maquillaje la razón es que me miro como no he dormido en semanas! Y la verdad es que no, entre las reparaciones del hogar, y mi hermosa niña de tres años durmiendo con nosotros todas las noches no he tenido un sueño de belleza en semanas. Los círculos oscuros junto con grandes poros y cicatrices de acné, es uno de los más molestos que nos encontramos las mujeres (y hasta hombres) UN super fácil y efectiva de eliminar los círculos oscuros e incluso aliviar piel de la cara y el cuerpo es con papas. Las papas se han catecholase que están en todos los blanqueadores cara realmente que venden en tiendas por departamento. Todo lo que tienes que hacer es utilizar el purree de una papa cruda y aplicarlo en toda sobre los ojos y rostro. Si usted está aplicando a su área del ojo asegúrate de que no caiga ninguna en tus ojos. Dejar en la cara durante 15 minutos antes de lavarse la cara como de costumbre! Puede repetir este 3 veces a la semana si es necesario. Si necesita un poco de humedad, pruebe a añadir unas pocas gotas de miel o la vitamina E.

Estrias? StretchMarks?

 Stretch marks are a nightmare, I hate them so much and I would just do about anything to make them disappear! Unfortunately there is no such thing that will remove them completely, once the skin is stretched and marked you are pretty much just going to have to deal. There are however lovely treatments that will help diminished them and make them less visible. Here I made a list of my favorite proven treatments to help fade stretch marks. 

 Las estrias son una pesadilla. las odio tanto que honestamente haria lo que fuera por desapareserlas por completo de mi cuerpo. Desafortunadamente esto no es posible, despues que la piel se estrecha hasta este punto que marca estrías ya no hay nada mas que hacer que lidiar. Lo que si hay es muchos tratamientos y tips que te pueden ayudar a que no se noten tanto y se aclaren con el tiempo. Aqui les tengo mis tips favoritos!

Tips
Exercise: This is probably the best tip I can give you, I honestly saw such an improvement from exercising. And in all honesty who's looking at stretch marks when instead they can be looking at toned abs and a sexy butt?   
                                                                       
 Ejercisios es probablemente el tip mas importante que les puedo dar. Al tonificar tu cuerpo la piel se te notara mas firme y las estrias ni seran vista     
                                                                                         
 Diet
What we eat is so important, it wont only make us feel better but it definetly helps us look our best too. Eat all your veggies and fruits and drink half you body weight in water daily and you will see a big difference in how your skin looks. 

Tu dieta es otra cosa muy importante para obtener una piel saludable. Asegurate que estas comiendo todos tus vegetales y frutas y que bebes mucha agua durante el dia. Comensaras a sentirte mejor y con el tiempo tu piel se vera espectacular también.

Exfoliate

Exfoliating and/or dry brushing removes layers of dead skin to unveil soft, fresh skin. Some marks may be difficult to reach and areas like the breasts are more sensitive, but do what you can.

Use a loofah or an exfoliator, bought or home-made -- sea salt, oatmeal, baking soda, ground coffee or apricot scrub, with a wet washcloth. Add any of them to olive oil to make a paste and then massage the stretch marks for 10 minutes in a circular motion while you are in the shower.

Or use this as your exfoliator:

5 tablespoons of scrub

1 teaspoon aloe vera gel

1/2 teaspoon vitamin E

1 teaspoon cocoa butter

Rinse off afterwards.

Apply lemon juice which helps stretch marks fade. Allow it to dry, then rinse with warm water and towel dry your skin.

A derma or skin roller helps oil penetrate more deeply. If using one, use it now before you moisturize.

Exfoliante o cepillado en seco elimina capas de piel muerta para revelar piel fresca, y suave. Algunas marcas pueden ser difíciles de alcanzar y zonas como los senos son más sensibles, pero haga lo que pueda.

Use una esponja o un exfoliante, comprado o hecha en casa, sal, harina de avena, bicarbonato de sodio, café molido o albaricoque friega, con un paño húmedo. Añadir cualquiera de ellos a aceite de oliva para hacer una pasta y luego masaje las estrías durante 10 minutos en un movimiento circular mientras estás en la ducha.
O utilizarlo como tu exfoliante:
5 cucharadas de scrub
gel de aloe vera 1 cucharadita
1/2 cucharadita de vitamina E
1 cucharadita de manteca de cacao
Enjuagar luego.
Aplique jugo de limón que ayuda que la marca se desvanecen. Deje que se seque, luego enjuague con agua tibia y toalla seque la piel.

Moisturize and hydrate

The more you infuse your skin with moisture the better.

Massage any natural oil into your stretch marks. What oil you use matters less than that you regularly and vigorously massage these areas, thereby improving circulation and promoting rejuvenation.

Cocoa butter

Rose hip oil

Extra virgin olive oil

Castor oil

Emu oil

Lanolin oil

Vitamin E oil

Vitamin A

Vitamin C

Vitamin K cream

Jojobo oil

Natural shea butter

Aloe vera

Masaje cualquier aceite natural en sus estrías. ¿Qué aceite utilizas importa menos que te regularmente y masaje enérgicamente estas áreas, lo que mejorará la circulación y promover el rejuvenecimiento. Estos aceite son mis favoritos que promueven la rejuvenecimiento.
Aceite de rosa mosqueta

Aceite de oliva virgen extra
Aceite de ricino
Aceite de emú
Aceite de lanolina
Aceite de vitamina E
Vitamina A
Vitamina C
Crema de vitamina K
Aceite de Jojobo
Manteca natural de karité
Aloe vera

My Favorite Combination Of Oils

Mix almond oil, castor oil, avocado oil and vitamin E oil together.

Combine vitamin E oil and cocoa butter.

Make a paste of vitamin E rich oil such as olive oil or castor oil with aromatic herbs like mint, lemon grass, lavender, thyme, and massage for 20 minutes before going to sleep.

Bio Oil is great.

Mezclar aceite de almendras, aceite de ricino, aceite de aguacate y vitamina E aceite.

Combine aceite de vitamina E y manteca de cacao.
Haga una pasta de vitamina E de aceite rico como aceite de oliva o aceite de ricino con hierbas aromáticas como la menta, hierba de limón, lavanda, tomillo y masaje durante 20 minutos antes de ir a dormir.
Bio Oil es fantastico.

I hope that these tips were helpful for you, in the meantime learn to live with them. Being proud of your body, stretch marks and all, is a very appealing quality. 

Espero que estos tips los allan ayudado, mientras tanto aprendan a vivir con sus estrias. Estar orgulloso de su cuerpo es halgo que lo hara lucir mas bello.

How Are You Removing Your Eye Makeup?

I was just getting ready for bed, and as I removed my makeup I though... how many people actually remove their eye makeup the right way? Some of you might think it doesn't matter how you take it off, as long as its off. Well I love to be the one to tell you differently, it actually matters more how you take it off then if, and with what. Why you ask, well I think I'm can speak for everyone when I say even though some of us are dealing with other issues as our primary skin concern right now, like acne, hyper pigmentation, and sensitivity. We ALL want to look as young and wrinkle free as human possible, and this is exactly why HOW you remove your makeup is so important. Look at it this way, we go to the gym and exercise regularly so our body looks the way we want it to look, Well every-time you touch your face think of it as an exercise and that the way you handle your skin is the way you want it to look 10 years from now. 

Me estava removiendo el maquillaje y pense.. Cuantas personas sabrán la manera correcta de removerse el maquillaje. Algunos de ustedes pensaran que esto no es importante, y que lo unico que importa es que se lo quiten. Bueno lamentos decirles que esto no es cierto y que es mas importante la manera en como te lo quitas que lo que uses. Creo que todas podemos estar de acuerdo en que aunque nuestra metas ahora mismo sean combatir el acné, manchas, o sensibilidad, al final la meta de todas es vernos lo mas joven y libres de arrugas posibles. Yo las voy ayudar! Lo primero es que piensen que cada ves que tocas tu cara estas causando un efecto, como el ejercicio constante al cuerpo. 

1.  First and most important is the tool you use, remember the skin around the eyes are so thin and delicate and you don't want to use anything thats going to irritate or drag this precious area. Cotton square, balls or q-tips are all perfect choices. Antes que nada elige el instrumento que usaras, recuerda lo delicada y fina que es la piel alrededor de tus ojos y no quieres usar nada que te haga irritar oh jalar esta área. Usen algodon o isopos. 
2. Second is really what you use, my personal favorite right now is Mary Kay oil-free eye makeup remover. It really does an awesome job at removing my most stubborn waterproof makeup and without ever having to rub or irritate my eyes. You can also use Olive Oil to remove your makeup, it will double as a eyelash conditioner and is cheaper! Segundo es un buen producto que rmueva tu maquillaje sin tener que estrujar o irritar tus ojos. Mi favorito ahora mismo es el de MARY KAY eye makeup remover. 
3.  Now to the really important part, the HOW to remove your eye makeup. If you wear a lot of eye makeup simply soak you cotton pad with eye makeup remover and place on top of your eyelids, by letting the formula sit on your eyes for a few seconds will help loosen up all the products making it more easier to wipe off. then take the cotton ball and starting from the otter corner of your bottom lashes start to remove your eye makeup by going up and around always using light pressure especially when going down on the eye. when all or most of your makeup is off simply take a qtip and wipe off and remaining eyeliner or mascara. Ahora la parte mas important, la tecqnica que debes usar es simple. Fijate en la imagen del lado, la dirrecion en la que empiesas a quitar el maquillaje y siempre usando precion ligera. si usas mucho maquillaje siempre empiesa por colocar el algodon surtido de producto y dejarlo en los jojos cerrado un ratico para suavizar el maquillaje y salga con mas facilidad.  

On the face you wanna make sure you alway go in linear movements alway moving up and never down, remember we want to look lifted never drag down on your face. On days when I wear a lot of makeup I always like to take off some of the makeup off with a wipe I personally love NO7 quick thinking wipes. Then I just wash my face as I would regularly. Para removerme el maquillaje de cara simplemente me limpio el exceso de maquillaje con una toallita desmaquillante y luego me lavo la cara con mis productos regular. Recuerda siempre usar movimientos lineares en la cara y de nunca arrastrar la cara hacia abajo, siempre la meta es vernos joven!

Drugstore Find: Yes to Cucumbers Eye Makeup Remover Pads

 As much as I love a smokey eye or my super black eye liner makeup, I hate the taking it off part! Some removers are so harsh on your eyes or too gentle that they don't remove any makeup at all. And being obsessed with having "perfect" skin like I am, means I don't rub my eyes no matter what! I rather leave the makeup on then to cause any premature aging or break my lashes, I know extreme but I can't help it. Well luckyly I found an eye makeup remover pads that were made for me! This pads are gentle on your eyes so they don't sting, I even tried them with my contacts on.  They have aloe vera, chamomile and cucumber all soothing and super good for skin ingredients. And most important they remove my eye makeup with out the excessive rubbing. These are definitely a keeper! Good Luck Xxx
