My love for Neutrals






Hope you all had a fun and safe Christmas with your loved ones, I know I did specially since this has been the first year that I have actually helped cook Christmas dinner.  Days before the 24th I created this look thinking that I would be able to post it before Christmas Eve but the days just flew by and I had so much to do that I just couldn't keep up. Know that the Holidays are almost over I'm very excited because I should have time to post about 5 times a week and I should be receiving my new camera any time know so the quality of my pictures will get better.

A Pop of Color Holiday Makeup





 


 During the colder months of the year we forget that all about color, and we focus mainly on neutral darker colors.  You know that I love love my browns, golds, and bronzed color but its nice to add a pop of color I specially love pinks, purples and green because it makes my brown eyes pop. I would totally wear this look to a Christmas party or to a Christmas Dinner with my cousins.

Nude Holiday Eyes


 






There is only 14 days till Christmas and I am very very happy I can't believe it, for the next 2 weeks I'll be posting different makeup looks that you can wear while doing some Christmas shopping, to a Christmas Party on Christmas Eve or just to any event that you might have coming up.  It's no secret that I love neutral colors for my eyes, lets be honest I don't always have an hour to do my makeup and I've found that the easiest and fastest way is with a neutral eye that can be paired with different shades of  lipstick.  It takes me no more than 5 minutes to do my eyes and when I add the lipstick it just makes it seem that I took way longer to get my look together.  But here are some options I would wear this to any event as you can see every lipstick gives it a different look perhaps you want to wear the nude lipstick to go shopping but then come home and put on the red if you have a last minute Christmas Party.

Review: Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm

             




 


Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Elusive (here)

Price: $6.49 


First Impression:  

The first day I put this on it look very splotchy on the lips and just for this first time I thought that I was because my lips were chapped really bad.  The second day it looked better since I did use chap-stick before I started doing my makeup. After about 15 minutes the balm sets in your lips and the little shine that was there from the beginning it goes away, and you are set for the next 3-4 hours without touching up.  


Overall: 
 

I was looking for a Matte lipstick that was in a everyday color but that also had a long lasting power.  This balm is a nice wearble color and it did last on my lips for about 4 hours without touching up, and need less to say this has become my everyday lipstick and  would recommended to everyone to try it out. 


PS. I did have lunch during the time I was wearing this balm and it held up pretty good.

Michael Todd True Organics Final Update




When I began this system I had high hopes, I really believed that it would help my acne go away and stay away.  As you an see although my acne has been less over the past 3 weeks at the beginning of this regimen my acne was horrible worse than it had ever been.  I had huge break outs in my cheeks and chin, they were so big and hurt so bad that lots of nights I cried my self to sleep because of the pain I felt.  As I mention in my update post here I contacted Customer Service to get help trying to figure out what was going on, and we came to the conclusion that the Charcoal Detox Deep Pore Gel Cleanser was drying my skin out and was causing my breakouts.  They sent over a new Cleanser that to be honest I've used once and my face got so red that I didn't want to use it again.

After that day I decided to use my Olay Cleansers along with the Jojoba Charcoal Scrub, toner, and Kaolin Clay Detoxifying Mask. With the cleansers along with the products from the kit my skin has been getting clear and feels so much better. 

I have to say that I will not repurchase the whole system I will most likely repurchase the Scrub along with the Mask.  Other than that I will continue to use what I am currently using until my skin gets used to it.  I must add that I have been using the Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Corrector to help out with the dark spots that were left on my cheeks and chin from the breakouts I had.

November Favorites






This are my most used products this past month of November.  I could not be more happy with my Pixi Corrector I discovered it thanks to Emilynoel83 she mentioned it in one of her videos and at the time I was looking for a salmon colored concealer for my under eye circles.   I also have been using my Lorac Eyeshadow Primer, I got it with my Lorac Pro Pallet and at the time I just put it away and forgot about it.  I rediscovered it and I love it my eyeshadow doesn't crease at all, and I have worn makeup for up to 10 hours and my eyeshadow stays put.


What have you been loving this month ?

Black Friday






I did a little Black Friday Shopping to take advantage of some really good sales and well to add a couple of items to my Fall/Winter wardrobe.  With this items and a others that I just purchased last month I should be set for the rest of the cold months. 


The only thing that I'm missing is a great pair of Black Leggings, but I wont buy them unless there at a great price.
