For The Smoothest Skin: fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish Review!


   Smooth skin is life and a good scrub will give you just that. A good scrub needs the best combination of exfoliation and hydration. A scrub with no hydrating ingredients can over exfoliate which irritate the skin, one with too much oils, soaps, or other add ons can be too hydrating but not aid in the skin turnover we want from a scrub. 

What I love the most about this scrub is how soft my skin feels, and not a super oily and tacky feeling that some leave behind. A baby smooth softness that very few scrubs give. The best part is that the feeling lasts for days. Moisturizing after is really not necessary at all! 

The best way to describe the scent is "Sweet citrus" with a hint of peppermint, its smooth and not overpowering. I got a good 4 uses out of the 7oz size container and like to use it once a week, as the last step in my shower. I love it and recommend it to anyone wanting smother, healthier, and more vibrant skin.  

Heres The Description On Fresh.com: 


Brown Sugar Body Polish is the original, natural sugar exfoliant and the unrivaled treatment for supremely soft skin after just one use.

Dupe Of The Week: Lime Crime Babette

NYX $6 VS Lime Crime $18

I get so excited when I come across a great dupe, specially when the price difference is so big but theres no sacrifice in the quality. Lime Crime makes some really gorgeous products and the color Babette is definitely on of their hottest best selling lipstick. I don't know about you but  if I hadn't applied it myself on my arm I wouldn't be able to tell them apart. What do you guys think about this dupe? 

Me emociona descubrir un clon a mis productos favoritos y mas aun si son mas baratos y asequibles. La marca de cosméticos Lime Crime tiene unos del los productos de labios mas hermosos que hay en el mercado y uno de esos sin duda es el color Babette. Por suerte les encontré uno que sin duda casi idéntico pero $12 Dólares mas barato. La marca NYX no se queda atrás en crear productos excelentes pero a un precio mucho mas comodo y se consiguen en mas lugares. Que opinan ustedes de este clon que les encontré?

Steffany's Choice Best Of Beauty 2013: My Favorite Concealers!!


I cant believe 2013 is almost over this year flew by so fast! This year has been huge for me personally and professionally, I also tried soooo many products that it was hard to keep up with he reviews. This year I went concealer crazy I just wanted to try every single raved about concealer out there and test them my self and while a few were really good most sucked for me! I did however find five amazing concealers that do an excellent job at concealing! 

No puedo creer 2013 está casi terminado este año pasó volando tan rápido! Este año ha sido muy importante para mí personalmente y profesionalmente, también probé muchos productos que era difícil mantenerse al día con él. Este año me dedique a encontrar buenos correctores y ponerlas a prueba y mientras algunos estaban muy bien otros fueron fatales! Sin embargo he encontrado cinco correctores increíbles que hacen un excelente trabajo en ocultar las imperfecciones.

 Cle De Peu has been my favorite concealer for two years now and I 'll tell you why; it conceals and brightens like no other! What makes this concealer even better is that it seriously does not crease or fade! I have used it alone, over and under foundations and its just flawless. 

CLE De Peu es el primero en mi lista porque es increíble en serio! Este ha sido mi favorito corrector hace dos años y te diré por qué; ¡ oculta mis ojeras y aclara esta area! ¿Qué hace este corrector mejor es que en serio no arrugue o se desvanecen! Lo he usado solo, sobre y bajo base y su impecable solo.

Pros: 
The coverage
No Creasing
No Fading 

Cons:
Price!!
Color Selection





Another one on my favorites is MAC pro long wear, this is a great concealer the coverage is excellent, and its just a tad bit lighter then my skin tone but the same undertones which helps it look flawless but 'natural'. Its also my favorite to use on brides and on my self when taking flash photography since it has no flashback!

Otro de mis favoritos es MAC pro long wear, esto es un gran corrector la cobertura es excelente, y es un poco un poco más claro que mi tono de piel pero el mismo trasfondo que ayuda a una apariencia impecable pero 'natural'. Es también mi favorito para usar en las novias y en mi mismo cuando se toman fotografías con flash ya no tiene ningún retroceso!

Pros: 
You get a lot for your money
Coverage
Longevity
Color options! 

Cons:
Product waste; The pump makes it hard to control how much product you use, I always end up taking too much! 



Maybelline really outdid themselves with this concealer its honestly one of the best and the fact that its "drugstore" product is what makes it even better. This product also claims it conceals but also "corrects" meaning that with constant use it will help fade dark circles. I dont know if its true but if it does even better! 

Maybelline realmente superó ellos mismos con este corrector sinceramente uno de los mejores y el precio es lo que la hace aún mejor. Este producto también afirma que oculta pero también 'corrige' lo que significa que con el uso constante ayudará a desaparecer ojeras. No sé si es cierto pero si lo hace aún mejor!

Pros: 
Coverage
Brightens
Added Benefits
Price

Cons:
Doesnt look "natural" on pictures



Can you tell how much I LOVE this concealer? well lets just say this is my second one this year I empty out completely. Bobbi Brown know her stuff she really makes some of the best makeup products and this might be one of my favorites from her. I love this for how natural and perfecty matches my skin tone, but has a hint of salmon which helps cancel out the hideous HUGE veins around my eyes! This is my makeup bag essential!! 

¿Pueden ver cuánto amo este corrector? Bueno digamos que esta es mi segunda en este año que uso completamente. Bobbi Brown sabe sus cosas realmente hace algunos de los mejores productos de maquillaje y esto podría ser uno de mis favoritos de ella. Me encanta esto para partidos como naturales y perfecto con mi tono de piel, pero tiene una sugerencia de salmón que ayuda a cancela las venas enormes horribles alrededor de los ojos! Este es mi bolso de maquillaje esencial!!

Pros: 
Coverage
Packaging
Color range
Longevity
Natural Look 

Cons: 
Price



I slowly but surely fell in love with this concealer its excellent at covering my dark circles and it really doesn't crease! My only problem with this is the packaging is not to my liking, the tube feels like its empty and when you squeeze it sometimes more product then you need comes out! But this baby right hear COVERS so much you really wont believe just a little tiny drop of this stuff is all I use an it just covers and brightens my tired eyes! 

Lenta pero seguramente caí enamorado con este corrector su excelente a cubrir mis ojeras y realmente no arrugue! Mi único problema con esto es el embalaje no es de mi agrado, el tubo se siente vacío y cuando aprietas suele a salir mas producto de la cuenta! Pero este bebe con sólo una pequeña gota cubre mis ojeras y aclara mis ojos cansados!

Pros:
Coverage
No creasing
Waterproof
Looks great in pictures
A little goes a LONG way!
Added antioxidants and benefits

Cons:
The packaging 


Good Luck/ Buenas Suerte! Xxx

Chanel Soleil Tan Bronze Universal!


  I had heard so much about the Soleil Tan De Chanel, that I thought it was time to try it out! I had wanted to purchase it before, but it’s always sold out! At one point a lady at a Chanel counter told me that it had been discontinued. While I was in New York a couple weeks ago, I finally got it! Truth is, it’s just as amazing as I have heard! It is soooo velvety and smooth, it blends perfectly on skin and works great for very light contouring or all over bronze, if you just mix a small amount with your foundation. However, it is definitely not a strong bronzer, it’s very subtle and natural, which is why I love it! It actually just looks like a subtle bronze, not orange, just tanned! I love it! Do you have a favorite bronzer?

Good Luck! Xxx

Había oído tantas cosas sobre el Soleil Tan De Chanel, que pensé que era hora de probarlo! Hubiera querido comprar antes, pero siempre se agotaron. En un momento dado una señora en un mostrador de Chanel me dijo que había sido descontinuado. Mientras yo estaba en Nueva York hace un par de semanas, finalmente lo conseguí! Es verdad, es tan sorprendente como he oído! Es tan suave y aterciopelada, se integra perfectamente en la piel y funciona muy bien para el contorno muy ligero o en bronce, si sólo usas una pequeña cantidad y la mezcla con su fundación. Sin embargo, definitivamente no es un bronceador fuerte, es muy sutil y natural, por eso me encanta! En realidad parece un bronce sutil, no naranja, sólo bronceado! ¡Me encanta! ¿Tienes un bronceador favorito?

¡Buena suerte! XXX

I Cant Live Without My/ No Puedo Vivir Sin Mi: Ben Nye Banana Powder! Vol 3


 I dont want to pretend with you, I love me some high end products. I can't help it I was born with expensive taste. Ask my mother, I think I was the only eight year old asking for lobsters in a restaurant. Chicken nuggets? no thank you! lol but by NO means translates into me not enjoying the simple things in life. I actually love me some bargains and love when i find products so amaizing that beat the high end products! I’m going to let you in a makeup artist (and beauty blogger) secret, Ben Nye Luxury Powder is the shiznet and costs about $10 for a years worth!  

Im not much of a powder lover, I find that sometimes instead of setting, powder just made me look cakey and took away the warmth of my face. I have noticed that this powder in particular is Ahhhmazing! It is seriously finely milled and looks gorgeous on camera! And the yellow tint helps highlight my face in such a beautiful way. If this powder were $100 it would be worth it, so the great price is really the icing on the cake!

I love using this with a powder puff and just adding a nice amount to the entire skin! It kind of creates a flawless complexion and just makes everything look incredible on camera and off! They come in different shades too but I haven't tried them yet! Have you tried this powder yet?


Good Luck! Xxx

Dupe Of The Week: Nars VS e.lf

Left To Right: Nars Duo Palette/ e.l.f Contouring blush & bronzer
Left To Right: Nars Duo Palette/ e.l.f Contouring blush & bronzer

Left To Right: Nars Blush In Orgasm, Elf Blush, Nars Laguna Bronzer, And Elf Bronzer.

I am so happy to share this amazing dupe I found for one of my favorite blushers and bronzer and at such an amazing bargain! The similarities between these to products are insane, the only difference I can clearly see is that orgasm has a more golden peachy pin finish and the elf has more of an obvious coral with less gold to it. Also the bronzer from elf is a lot more pigmented then Nars laguna bronzer, Laguna also has more of a golden tone to it. Either one is beautiful it's just a matter of your budget when it come to these two, but there is definitely not much you will be sacrificing as they are so similar. 

Nars Blush/Bronzer Duo Sells For: $41.00
e.lf Contouring Blush & Bronzer Sells For: $3.00

Good Luck! Xxx

Dupe Of The Week: MAC vs L'OREAL

Left To Right: MAC Up The Amp, Loreal 175 Violet Chiffon

 Hey my loves I decided I'm going to start finding dupes of some of my favorite products and share with you guys. I love me some high end products but nothing is more exciting to find the same quality and sometimes even the same shades or feel in a more pocket friendly version.  
Left To Right: MAC Up The Amp, L'Oreal 175 Violet Chiffon
As you can see above the colors are so similar its even hard to tell them apart, and for a the price of MAC you can buy yourself two L'Oreal lipstick. They both go on beautifully, they both smell good, and go on super smooth. MAC is more pigmented then Loreal and more on the bluish side. But other then that I can't tell them apart. Good Luck Xxx

MAC: $15
L'Oreal: $7.49
