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!

Drugstore Product Of The Week: Revlon Photoready SkinLights!

Right To Left: 300 Peach Light, 400 Bronze Light

I love face illuminators and coming from an oily skin girl it might even be weird since my face can look shiny naturally! There is however a very different glow that can be achieved with the right type of products and these babies are so beautiful I will definitely be getting a lot of use out of them. The bronze is so gorgeous to use on darker skin tones for an all over glow and on lighter skin to add a "bronzed look' by applying only where the sun hits and blending. The peach light is really lovely to use as a highlight or add a few drops to your moisturizer or foundation to add a glow to any look!

Me Encanta utilizar iluminadores y eso que yo ya tengo la cara brillosa, pero cuando utilizas los producos correctos el resultado es hermoso. Estos iluminadores de Revlon son preciosos y los voy a utilizar mucho pues los dos pueden ser utilizados de varias maneras por ejemplo el bronze light lo puedes usar en tu rostro completo si ya eres morenita, o en pieles mas clara para dar un look broceado. El peach light lo puedes mezclar con tu base o crema, y también se pueden usar para darle un brillo al escote también! Quieren ver un video de como yo los utilizo?

Purchased: CVS
Price: $12.99

5 Beauty Myths That Could Be Making Our Skins Worst And Our Wallets Thinner!



Myth #1  Acne Can Be Outgrown

The truth is not everyone who has acne as a teenager will grow out of it and even if you had clear skin as a teenager, the's no guarantee you wont suffer from acne later in life. That being said woman can get acne in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s just like teenagers, and the treatment options are the same regardless of age. It is true that men can outgrow acne, because after puberty mens hormone levels even out, while woman's hormone levels fluctuate throughout their lifetime which is why many woman experience breakouts around their menstrual cycle.

Myth #2 Products That Make Your Skin Burn Or Tingle Are Good

Fact: A cooling or tingling sensation is your skin telling you its irritated and irritation most times result in inflammation. Products that produce this sensation can actually damage your skin and make scarring worse, cause collagen and elastin to break down and even increase the growth of bacteria that causes acne.

Myth #3 Blackheads Can Be Washed Or Scrubbed Away

Blackheads may make skin look dirty, but they are not related to dirt or how often you wash or scrub your face. Blackheads develop when a clog forms within the pore and prevents oil and cellular debris from exiting the pore normally. clogs can form for many reasons but the main reason is dead skin accumulate and get in the way of the oils begin produce. To prevent this try using salicylic acid (BHA) it can penetrate the oil and exfoliate inside the pore, dissolving oil and dead skin cells that lead to blackheads.

Myth #4 Expensive Products Are Better Than Inexpensive Ones

The truth is that there are good products and bad products in all price categories. Remember that there are many reasons why a price is expensive and that doesn't necessarily say anything about the actual product. You would be shock at how many expensive products are little more than water and wax and at how many inexpensive products are beautifully formulated.

Myth #5 You Must Only Use Anti-Aging Products After 30 

I like to think anti-aging skin care like a healthy diet: whats healthy for you to eat as a child will be just as nutritious throughout your life. It doesn't make sense to wait until you have the signs of aging to start using anti-aging products. Remember that all this is just preventative and ideally, anti-aging is about giving skin of any age more of what it needs to repair past damage, produce healthy collagen, and function properly so that it looks and feels healthier and I don't know about you but I want to always look at least 10 years my age ;) Remember that the best anti-aging product is sun protection, and this you need from birth!

Good Luck Xxx

5 Mitos De Belleza Que Nos Puede Estar Costando Dinero Y Empeorando Nuestra Piel!

Mito #1 El Acne Es Algo Que Solo Ocurre En La Adolecencia

La verdad es que no todos los que tienen acné como adolescente no lo tendran como adultos e incluso si tienes piel clara como un adolescente, no hay ninguna garantía de que no sufre de acné más adelante en vida. Dicho las mujeres pueden sufrir de acné en sus 20s, 30s, 40s y 50s como adolescentes, y las opciones de tratamiento son los mismos independientemente de su edad. Es cierto que los hombres pueden superar el acné, porque después de la pubertad los niveles hormonales se nivelan  mientras que los niveles hormonales de la mujer fluctúan a lo largo de su vida que por eso muchos brotes de experiencia mujer alrededor de su ciclo menstrual.

Mito #2 Los Productos Que Hacen Que Tu Piel Arda O Pique Están Funcionando

Hecho: una sensación de hormigueo o de refrigeración es la piel que indica su irritación irritación y la mayoría de las veces como resultado de la inflamación. Los productos que producen esta sensación realmente puede dañar la piel y hacer que la cicatrización es peor, provocar el colágeno y la elastina para romper e incluso incrementar el crecimiento de bacteria que causa el acné.

Mito #3 Los Puntos Negros Se Pueden Desaparecer Con Scrubs O Jabones

Los granos negros pueden hacer que la piel parezca sucio, pero no están relacionadas con suciedad o con qué frecuencia usted lava o limpiar la cara. Los granos negros se desarrollan cuando forma una obstrucción dentro de los poros y evita que los residuos de aceite y celular salir normalmente el poro. Zuecos pueden formarse por muchas razones, pero la razón principal es muertas de la piel se acumulan y ponerse en el camino de los aceites comenzar a producir. Para evitar esto trata de usar el ácido salicílico (BHA) puede penetrar el aceite y exfoliar dentro del poro, disuelve el aceite y las células muertas de la piel que conducen a los puntos negros.

Mito #4 Los Productos Caros Son Mejores Que Los Baratos 

La verdad es que hay buenos productos y malos productos en todas las categorías de precio. Recuerde que hay muchas razones por qué un precio es caro y que necesariamente no dice nada sobre el producto real. Estarías sorprendida en cuántos productos caros son poco más que agua y cera y en cuántos productos baratos se formulan maravillosamente.

Mito #5 Solo Se Debe Husar Productos Anti-Edad Despues De Los 30 

Me gusta pensar que el cuidado de la piel contra el envejecimiento como una dieta sana. No tiene sentido esperar hasta que tienes los signos del envejecimiento para empezar a utilizar productos anti-envejecimiento. Recuerde que todo esto es sólo preventivo e idealmente, anti-envejecimiento es acerca de dar la piel de cualquier edad más de lo que necesita reparar las daños, producir el colágeno sano y funcionar correctamente para que se ve y se siente más saludable y no sé de ti, pero quiero mirar siempre al menos 10 años mi edad ;) Recuerde que el mejor producto anti-envejecimiento es protección contra el sol y éste se necesita desde su nacimiento!

Buenas Suerte!

Drugstore Product Of the Week/ Producto Ganga De La Semana: L'Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder


I have been on the hunt for a great drugstore foundation to use to contour. I find that using a foundation instead of bronzers to contour really gives you the most flawless and natural finish. It's also easier since all you are doing is using the darker foundation on the outside of your face and everywhere you want to contour then you just apply the foundation that matches your skin tone in the center of your face and blend outwards to meet and blend the darker color. 

This foundation is really nice, so nice that I'm going to go purchase another one but in my actual skin tone to see if I like it as much. To contour, this color and the concistency of it works perfectly. The foundation is truly liquidy and after you apply it and blended it out it sets into a flawless matte smooth finish. The only complain I have is that the container is glass, Which means I have to be extra careful in not dropping it. 

This foundation comes in 12 shades, and offers an spf of 18 which its also a plus! Have you tried this foundation before? I also want to know whats you favorite technique to contour. 

He estado a la caza de una base para el contorno. Me parece que el uso de una base en lugar de los bronceadores de contorno realmente le da la más perfecta y acabado natural. También es más fácil ya que todo lo que tiene que hacer es utilizar la base más oscuro en la parte exterior de su cara y cualquier lugar que quiera, a continuación, que acaba de contorno aplicar la base que coincide con su tono de la piel en el centro de su cara y mezcla hacia fuera para reunirse y mezcla el color más oscuro.

Esta base es realmente bonito, por lo bien que me voy a ir comprar uno pero en mi tono de piel para ver si me gusta mucho. En contorno, este color y la consistencia que tiene funciona a la perfección. La base es verdaderamente bien aguada y después de aplicarlo y mezclado que establece en un perfecto acabado liso mate. La única queja que tengo es que el envase es de cristal, lo que significa que tienen que ser más cuidadosos en no dejar caer.

Esta base viene en 12 colores, y ofrece un spf de 18, que es un plus! ¿Has probado esta base antes? yo también quiero saber que técnica es tu favorita de contorno.

Product Rave/Product Del Delirio: Sonia Kashuk Undetectable Cream Bronzer!


I want to share this review for the Sonia Kashuk undetectable cream bronzer. I'm seriously obsessed with this cream bronzer since I purchased it three weeks ago. 

Quiero compartir este examen de la Sonia Kashuk crema bronceador indetectable. Estoy muy obsesionado con esta crema bronceador desde que lo compré hace tres semanas.

 A great cheap alternative to Chanel's Soleil Universal Cream bronzer and it works better for people who have a medium to tan skin tones better. This cream bronzer is sooooo creamy and blends like a dream. I like to use it over my foundation to contour and then set it with a powder bronzer for longevity.

Una gran alternativa barata a Chanel de bronzer Soleil Crema Universal y funciona mejor para las personas que tienen un medio de tonos de piel bronceado mejor. Esta crema es taaaaan bronzer cremoso y mezclas como un sueño. Me gusta a mi fundación de contorno y, a continuación, colocarlo con un polvo bronceador para la longevidad.

It comes in two shades warm tan and rich bronze, I purchased the darkest of the two which is the rich bronze. 

Viene en dos tonos cálidos y ricos de bronce, he comprado el más oscuro de los dos, que es el rich bronze.

It's very pigmented yet blends out to a more sheer yet even consistence color. I love to use it as a contour cream as is really natural looking and less harsh then most contouring powders. It sets into a silky smooth finish not sticky or "wet" like other cream bronzers. I have been using my real techniques expert face brush which is best for cream/liquid products and the hairs are so tight and packed together so it blends better.

Es muy pigmentadas y un más elevado aún consistencia color. Me encanta que los utilizan como crema contorno como es realmente natural y menos dura, la mayoría de los polvos. Se establece en un suave como la seda no pegajosa o "mojado" como otros crema  bronceadores.

Overall I really love this awesome product and highly recommend it. I did all the usual testing I do before I review a product and this product delivers. I used it on my clients with different skin tones and types and they all loved their contouring.

En general, me encanta este producto increíble y lo recomiendo encarecidamente. Yo hice la habitual de pruebas hacer antes un producto y revisión este producto ofrece. la eh utilizado en mis clientes con diferentes tipos y tonos de piel y todos les encantó su contorno.

Price Paid: $11
Where? Target

Product Rave/ Delirio Por Este Producto: Dior Mystic Metallics 5 Color Eyeshadows

5 Couleurs Mystic Metallics: Bonne Etoile (384)
 I cant tell you how many times this has happened to me, I see a beautiful makeup palette and I buy it to then only have it decorate my makeup vanity. As cute as some packagings are they really dont offer anything else. But Dior always deliver, they not only have some of the prettiest palettes they are so pigmented and all the colors are wearable. 

 This palette is no different the colors are sooo pigmented and I will get so many uses out of it. I was freaking out because this palette was sold out everywhere online. I bought the last one they had at Macy's.  Right now as I speak I'm working on a few looks to share and possibly do on a blog post. I cant wait to share the looks I come out with this palette, it will work for every season! What do you guys think of this beautiful palette? 

Purchased: Macy's $61

Product Rave: Benefit Fake Up/ Delirio Por Este Producto: Benefit Fake Up!

Medium Shade (02)
Unblended applied straight from the stick 
(Blended In)
 I've been in the hunt for a concealer that won't crease for ever now. There are so many concealer a out there that promise to be creaseless bug that's never the case. Untill the Benefit Fake Up Concealer that is pretty amazing! It actually does not crease, words I never thought I would say about a concealer! The pigment in this concealer is wrapped up in a layer of vitamin e and it works to not only nourish and protect skin, but also somehow magically keeps from creasing! I was really impressed that at the end of the day under eye circles were barely noticeable! The only thing I will say is it definitely streaks when you apply it, so you should stipple it with a sponge to prevent that from happening. I would also avoid using this any other place then under your eyes since it can be a little oily for the rest of your face. 

This concealer also completely banished my dark circles and gives you a beautiful appearance in photos! Again Don't  apply too much, since it does have that moisture layer, it can look greasy if you over do it! Keep it light, you really don’t need too much! So far, I am in love with this concealer! It’s almost too good to be true!

Hermosas Hondas Utilizando Mi Varita de T3/ Beautiful Waves Using My T3 Wand!


Probablemente soy una de las peores personas en estilizar mi cabello, largo o corto no importa nunca sé qué hacer con él. Un estilo de pelo que realmente me empeñe en aprender es ondas voluminosa . Después de mucho ensayo y errores y el dinero gastado en productos inútiles, he encontrado que funciona para mí, por qué, pues su prácticamente imposible no saber husarlo! puedes sostener la varita, envolver el cabello alrededor de él en secciones, cuente hasta 10 y tiene usted mismo un rizo precioso. Sé que hay un montón de varitas que estan a la venta pero me encanta mi varita de T3 que se calienta tan rápido, puede controlar la temperatura y establece mi pelo en un rizo perfecto. Yo he tenido esta varita para más de un año y me encanta. Trato de no usarlo a menudo y sólo en ocasiones especiales, cuando no quiero usar mi pelo plano o con sus ondas naturales. Recuerde que utilizando herramientas calientes en su cabello  puede dañar sus melenas preciosos. 

 I am probably one of the worsts persons at styling my own hair, long or short it doesn't matter I never know what to do with it. One hair style I was really determined to learn was gorgeous bouncy waves. After much trial and errors and money spent on useless hair curlers and products I found the one that works for me, why, well its pretty much hair idiot proof! you hold the wand wrap your hair around it in sections, count to 10 and boom you have yourself a gorgeous curl. I know there are a lot of wands out there but I love my T3 wand it gets hot so fast I can control the temperature and sets my hair in to a perfect curl. I have owned this wand for over a year and I love it. I don't use it often thought only on special occasions when I don't want to wear my hair flat or with its natural waves. Remember that using hot tools on your hair too much can damage your precious locks. 


Productos Usado/ Products Used:
  1. Miss Jessies Curly Meringue
  2. T3 Single Pass Whirl
  3. Loreal Elnett Hair Spray

Pasos/ Steps:
  1. Me lavo mi pelo regularmente, al salir del baño me coloco Curly Meringue en el pelo y me lo dejo secar al aire, si no tengo tiempo le echo aire con un blower.  1. I wash my hair like i do regularly, take out the excess water out and apply Curly Meringue all over my hair and let it air dry, if I'm in a rush I blow dry it with a diffuser. 
  2. Me divido el pelo en secciones y empieso a sisarme el pelo empesando por la parte de abajo, recuerda no dejar colocado la varita por mucho tiempo pues puedes causar daños. 2. Devide your hair into section, I start from bottom to top. Make sure not to leave the wad to long in your hair to avoid damage. 
  3. Para terminar me ago la parte de arriba con mucho cuidado de alejar los risos de la cara para que me queden como quiero, de pende de tu pelo te puedes sostener los risos con pinchos hasta que estes listo a salir. Solo echate tu spray favorito y pasate las manos para que no se te vean tan perfectos, y listo estas lista. 3.When you are getting to the top and front part remember to curl your hair away from your face and at this point you should decide where your part will go. Depending on your hair you may hold the curls in with a bobby pin until you are ready to leave. Spray on some of your favorite hair spray and enjoy your lovely waves/curls. 
Buenas Suerte/ 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

Product Rave: Moroccan Oil Hair System



 I can't believe I haven't posted anything on the moroccan oil line, I started using it about 2 years ago after I had one of the worst hair procedures in my LIFE! I had to cut off most of my hair and outgrow the most hideous shades of blondes, my hair was so weak it would literally break in my hands. A hairstylist i went to for help told me about these products and I fell in love right away. I LOVE this line and always end up coming back to it, everything from the shampoo is so luxurious and rich, I immediately see a difference just from using the shampoo, and their Repair mask is no joke it really is intense and I see it working immediately. I recommend this line to everyone its a little on the expensive side but for me its worth it. Good Luck! Xxx
