Too Faced Hangoverx 3-in-1 Replenishing Primer & Setting Spray Review!

Setting sprays have become a vital product in most of our makeup and for some even their daily skin care routine. In case you didn't know, I would love to tell you what a setting spray is and why you might be missing out. 

The main purpose of a setting spray was to help "set" your makeup more flawlessly helping you avoid the "cakey" look. Thanks to brands packing so many skin benefits you have so many to choose from and there are options for oily skin, dry, dull, dehydrated and more. 

 Too Faced created  Hangoverx 3-in1 Replenishing Primer & Setting Spray. It can be used to Prime, Set, and Refresh. Its a weightless mist infused with Coconut water, probiotic based ingredient, and other great skin reviving ingredients. I have been using it daily on my skin for exactly for all 3 things. They created such an amazing product. I love it, my skin loves it, and you might too so give it a try! 

  Too Faced also has the Hangover primer, it came out a few years back, check it out HERE.

I Used Carbon Coco To Whiten My Teeth And This Is My Results!

I know by now we have all heard by now about the efficiency of charcoal to whiten teeth. However I had never used it before so this is my review.  I was sent a little package from Carbon Coco to try and give my honest opinion to my readers!

A description From their Website:  

Made from 100% certified organic coconut shell charcoal, Carbon Coco not only brightens your smile, but also improves your overall mouth health.Our medical grade activated charcoal powder removes toxins, stains, and plaque from your teeth through a process called adsorption, in which activated charcoal binds with these particles and flushes them out of your teeth and mouth.The super finely milled polish won’t damage your enamel or gums and also contains bentonite clay, a natural ingredient that helps remineralise teeth plus a hint of lemon myrtle, which has gentle and non-acidic antibacterial properties.

How do I use it?

Wet brush in small and dip into the carbon, gentle circles (no need to brush hard!) for 2-3 minutes. Rinse, then brush with Carbon Coco toothpaste for 3 minutes. This is best used before bedtime to allow residue (if any) to dislodge overnight.

My Review

I have been using Carbon Coco for five days in a row now and I'm ready to give my review. I used it as recommended and can say it works! Its definitely not an overnight thing were you will get instant results but every day my teeth look whiter. 

       The Pros:                                            The Cons: 

         All natural                                              Messy 

        No Sensitivity                                 Time Consuming   

I have to say, the charcoal can get messy, when opening the jar no matter how careful I was there was always fallout on the sink. Also it takes about 7 minutes to the whole process and add 5-15 minutes if you add the oil pulling which I did not receive to try and review. 

That being said I prefer to use this versus other methods that make my teeth sensitive and only targets the color. Carbon Coco has so many more added benefits that really gets me excited about brushing my teeth! 

Product: Carbon Coco 
Price: $59.90

 I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my viewers. This review is not sponsored by Carbon Coco but they did send me the products to try and give my honest opinion. 

I Cant live without/ No Puedo Vivir Sin Mi Vol 7: Too Faced Better Than Sex

I LOVE this mascara so much I keep repurchasing it again and again. As you all may know by now I wear glasses so as much as I love wearing some fab fake lashes this is not always an option. I need a mascara that makes my lashes darker, longer and thicker. This mascara is the bomb and I love that it doesn't dry up my lashes and break them like others. 

Me encanta esta mascara de pestañas tanto que la eh comprado varias veces y la seguire comprando. Como quizás se han dado cuenta uso lentes hacia que para mi es muy importante una mascara que pueda alargar, oscurecer, y hacer mis pestañas lucir mas gruesas. Esta mascara es espectacular y lo que mas me gusta es que no me reseca mis pestañas y no me las parten. 

Good Luck/ Buenas Suerte! Xxx

Last Minute Or Low Budget Valentines Day Gift Ideas!

 I'm sure we have all been in this awkward situation, you forget to buy your loved one a gift ore this one  even more common you aint got no money to splurge on your honey... Well I have been on both ends and its not a position I liked to be in. I did however learn that some of the best gifts are really inexpensive but filled with love and attention. I want to share with you some very low budget/last minute gift ideas for this Valentines day. 

Estoy seguro de que todos hemos estado en esta situación difícil, te olvidas de comprarle un regalo a tu amada/o este uno más común no tienes ningún dinero para derrochar en tu cariño... Bueno, he estado en ambos extremos y no es una posición en la que me gustaba estar. Sin embargo aprendí que algunos de los mejores regalos son realmente baratos pero lleno de amor y atención. Quiero compartir con ustedes algunas ideas de regalo muy bajo presupuesto y al último minuto de este día de San Valentín.

1. Coupons: This is probably my favorite one as I can still remember the first time my husband made one for me I really felt so special. I love this idea because it can be made on the day of but still feels like it was thoughtful and since you are making the coupons you can make them unique to you partners tastes and what you can afford to give. Example: One coupon for a $50 shopping spree or One hour of full body massage! 

1. Cupones: Esta es probablemente mi favorita como recuerdo la primera vez que mi marido hizo uno para mí realmente me sentí tan especial. Me encanta esta idea porque puede hacerse en el día de pero todavía siente como fue considerado y puesto que están haciendo los cupones pueden hacerlos únicos a los gustos y lo que pueda darle. Ejemplo: Un cupón para un día de compras de $50 o una hora de masaje de cuerpo completo!

  2. Breakfast In Bed: This one really never gets old specially when the one being served the breakfast is usually the cook. Try to make it extra special and add some creative touches I don't know about you but this alone makes me feel spoiled for the day.

2. Desayuno en la cama: Éste nunca pasa de moda especialmente cuando uno le sirve el desayuno al que suele ser la cocinera. Trata de hacerlo muy especial y añadir algunos toques creativos  no sé de ti pero esto hace que me sienta súper especial!

3. Spa Day: This is a great last minute gift idea because seriously who doesn't love a spa day? Find out whats her favorite spa or one she has been wanting to go and buy her a gift voucher and boom you have yourself a great last minute but very lovely gift! If on a low budget make the spa at home, there are so many great ideas for diy, just take the kids (if any) to the grandma for the day and pamper her or him from the comfort of your home. 

3. Día de Spa: Esta es una gran idea de regalos de última hora porque en serio a quien no le guste un día de spa? Descubre cual su favorito spa y comprar un bono de regalo. Si con un presupuesto muy bajo crea  el spa en casa, hay tantas buenas ideas para el consentirse en casa, al igual que los niños (si los hay) llevalo a la casa de abuela por el día y a mimarse desde la comodidad de su hogar.

4. A Super Muchi What I Love About You Book: Like the coupons this is a great gift to give your love one, its not only very unique to your feeling towards your partner but its also not expensive to purchase or even better make one yourself! 

4. Un Libro Sobre Las Cosas Que Amo De Ti: como los cupones es un gran regalo para dar a su amor, no sólo muy singular a tus sentimientos hacia tu pareja, pero es también comprar uno no cuesta mucho o incluso mejor  

aun lo puedes crear. 

5. A Monthly Beauty Box Subscription: This one here is such a nice gift because not only will your partner feel special on Valentines Day but also every month she receives her beauty box. There are some boxes that offer boxes for men too, and  there is one for every budget too! 

5. Una Suscripción de la Caja de Belleza Mensual: Éste aquí es un regalo tan agradable porque no sólo va su compañero sentirse especial durante el Día de Valentinos sino también cada mes recibe su caja de belleza. ¡Hay algunas cajas que ofrecen cajas para hombres también, y hay un para cada presupuesto también!

I will honestly say that I really enjoy a DIY gift more then anything, and lets not forget flowers! I really love flowers, they bright up my day. I feel that these "holidays" have become more and more about the materialistic stuff than the actual meaning of the day. There is no need for valentines day to become another big expense in your life, just enjoy yourself make your loved ones feel special! 

Voy a decir con toda sinceridad que yo realmente disfruto de un regalo hecho a manos y no olvidemos las flores! Me encanta las flores, alegran mi día de una manera inexplicables. Creo que estas "celebraciones" se han vuelto más y más cosas sobre el materialista que el significado real del día. No es necesario para el día de los enamorados se convierta en otro gran gasto en su vida, relájate y solo dale atención que sus seres queridos se sentirán especiales.

Splurge Of The Week/ Derroche De La Semana!

I love me some blush, I truly believe this one product can change your whole look. I do how ever very rarely splurge in this type of makeup. I went to purchase my all time favorite foundation for the winter from Chanel and came across this beautiful blusher. I just love it so much and have seriously used it everyday since I got it. It gives me just the right amount of coral and pink that my skin tone can handle and stays put all day. 

Me encanta el rubor, creo de verdad este producto puede cambiar tu aspecto. Yo cómo era muy rara vez derrocho en este tipo de maquillaje. Me fui a comprar mi favorito de todos los tiempos para el invierno de Chanel y encontré este hermoso colorete. Simplemente me encanta, y lo he utilizado seriamente todos los días desde que lo compre. Me da justo la cantidad de coral y rosa que mi tono de piel puede manejar y permanece puesto todo el día todo el día.

My Can't Live Without/ No Puedo Vivir Sin Mi.... VOL 5

 Nothing is worst then creating a beautiful flawless makeup look to only have it ruined by sweat, and moisture. I am so in love with this setting spray this is actually the second bottle I own and I will always keep this in my makeup kit. It sets your makeup, and has color dispersing technology that keeps makeup even so it always look fresh, and never caked. This formula works excellent on all skin types, it helps control excess shine but keeps a healthy glow! All yo need to do is shake well, hold the bottle arms length and mist face 2-4 times. Good Luck Xxx

Purchased: Amazon
Price: $42.50

Nada es peor, crear un hermoso maquillaje impecable y que se te arruine por el sudor y la humedad. Estoy tan enamorada de este ajuste aerosol esto es en realidad la segunda botella que tengo y siempre voy a tener esto en mi kit de maquillaje. Se fija el maquillaje, y tiene la tecnología de dispersión del color que mantiene el maquillaje, incluso por lo que siempre luzca fresca, y nunca apelmazado. Esta fórmula funciona excelente en todos los tipos de piel, ayuda a controlar el brillo superior, pero mantiene un brillo saludable! Todo lo que hay que hacer es agitar bien, mantenga la longitud a brazos y exprima la botella en la cara 2-4 veces.

Buenas Suerte! Xxx

Want Longer Stronger Lashes?/ Quieres Pestañas Mas Largas Y fuertes?

I'm going to be honest with you guys, as much as I love makeup I was never into wearing fake lashes. That is until a few years ago and boyyyy am I obsessed with them now. But they can also thin out your own, the applying and removing can weaken your own lashes and we don't want that! I mixed up this little recipe and I can't recommend this enough, I truly love it and it has really made a difference to my own lashes. Try this and let me know how it work for you. 

Lash Repair:

Ingredients

2 parts Vaseline
1 part Coconut Oil
1 part Castor Oil

Mix all ingredients together, and then with a disposable mascara wand (you can get them at most cosmetic stores) or a toothbrush, gently brush the mixture onto your lashes. Let sit for about 15 minutes then again gently remove excess mixture. If you have any residue from the mixture left on your lashes, it’s ok, just make sure that it won’t move into your eyes as you sleep! You will start noticing a change after a few weeks! 

Good Luck Xxx

Voy a ser honesto con ustedes, tanto como amo siempre e amado el maquillaje nunca me gustó usar pestañas falsas. Eso fue hasta hace unos años y hoy soy que obsesionada con ellas ahora. Pero puede también maltratar su propia, la aplicación y eliminación pueden debilitartsus propias pestañas y no queremos eso! Mezclé esta receta y no puedo recomendar este suficiente, realmente me encanta y realmente ha hecho una diferencia en mis propias pestañas. Probar esto y quiero saber cómo funciona para ti.

Reparación De Pestañas
Ingredientes:
2 partes de vaselina
1 parte de aceite de coco
1 parte de aceite de ricino

Mezclar todos los ingredientes y luego con una varita del rimel desechables (usted puede conseguir las tiendas de cosméticas en la mayoría) o un cepillo de dientes, cepille suavemente la mezcla en sus pestañas. Deje reposar durante unos 15 minutos después otra vez suavemente quite exceso mezcla. Si usted tiene cualquier residuo de la mezcla en tus pestañas, es aceptable, sólo Asegúrese de que no se mueve a los ojos mientras duermes! Empezarás a notar un cambio después de un par de semanas!

My Holy BB!

I'm sure must of you know what a BB creme is, or what its supposed to do for your skin. For those of you who don't, in short BB creams are all-in-one product meant to save you multiple steps and help you achieve a "flawless" healthy look by providing, sun protection, anti oxidants, moisture, and color. To be completely honest this is not always the case, as the amounts of bb creams I have personally tested I can tell you that I had almost given up on the BB cream hype. That is until I came across Dior's BB Creme. I hesitated at first but still asked for a sample to take home and try, I figured why not! I am so glad I did, I am honestly in love with this BB cream, more in love than any of my other foundations to be honest. It's so pigmented that it almost looks like a foundation, but it feels so light on I cant believe I have anything on. It only comes in four shades, and I happened to match 003 perfectly, I cant wait to try more of Dior Nude collection and hopefully you can too! Do you have a favorite BB Cream I should try?

Estoy seguro que deben de saber lo que es una BB crema, o lo que su supone que va a hacer para su piel. Para quienes no lo conozcan, en resumen BB cremas es un producto todo-en-uno destinados a ahorrar varios pasos y te ayudará a lograr un "impecable" aspecto saludable en tu tono de piel, protección solar, anti oxidantes, la hidratación y color. Para ser completamente honesto, esto no es siempre el caso, dado que las cantidades de las cremas bb que yo personalmente he probado puedo decirle que casi había renunciado. Esto es, hasta que me topé con Dior BB creme. pedí una muestra para llevar a casa y probar, me di cuenta por qué no todas estavan mal. Yo estoy muy contenta de haber encontrado esta BB Creme.  Es muy pigmentada que casi parece una base, pero se siente tan ligero en la cara que pensaras que no te pusiste nada. Sólo se ofrece en cuatro colores, y me coinciden con 003 perfectamente, no puedo esperar para probar más de Dior Nude. ¿Tiene un favorito BB Crema que deba probar?

Good Luck, Buenas Suerte! 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
