Oxblood and Chambray

Simple outfit that I wore today to go get some groceries after I dropped off my daughter at preschool today. Im in love with these booties they are so comfortable to walk around, I'm very basic when it comes to clothes specially when I have not much to do. 

Hope you have a wonderful day I'm enjoying the beautiful fall weather we have today here in Phoenix.

What I Love:

Buffing Brush: I am so in love with this brush it makes my foundation go on so effortlessly giving me an airbrush finish that no other brush that I have used has given me.  With this brush I feel like my foundation in flawless but without it feeling heavy on my skin, it helps the foundation cover all my imperfections but you are still being able to see my skin underneeth.  I also really appreciate how fast this apply my foundation specially when I'm running around in the morning.

Pointed Foundation Brush: This brush I mainly used to help me blend in my concelear and for that it's great.  I personally don't feel like this brush is big enough to put on my foundation plus im pretty sure it would take me so long. Like I said this brush works great to blend in my concealer specially because it's pointy and really gets inside the inner corner of my eyes. 

Contour Brush: This is my second favorite brush in this set it does exactly what it says, it helps me contour my cheeks right where the contour is suppost to be. This helps me get a straight line in my cheeks and also blend it in just enough so it looks seemless and more natural. I have yet to try it to highlight but I'm pretty sure I will be just as good for that too. 

Detailer Brush: This brush I have yet to use to be completly honest with you, but I do see myself using it for dark lipstick to conceal around my  lips to make my lipstick look perfect.

Panoramic Brush Case: The case is very sturdy and keeps the brushes in just one place, I personally keep my brushes in a Brush Holder that I made out in my vanity therefore the case for me is unnecessary.  The case is perfect for when you travel it keeps them in one place and prevents them from getting damaged.  Other than that I really don't have much use for it.

What I don't Love:

I just feel that two out of the four brushes will be getting the most use out of them since most of the time I use my finger to blend out my concelear and you know that I don't use dark lipstick all that often.  The case probably wont use at all since most of my brushes stay out on my vanity, its usefull for someone who travels alot and needs to protect there brushes. 
 
Overall Thoughts: Im very satisfied with the quality and how soft they are, I love how you can use them for different purposes not just what there intended for.  The brush case is something that since I have not much use for I would have really would have appreciated maybe another brush like a brush blush or setting powder brush.  I love the price you get four brushes for $17.99 I had a 20% off coupon that made them even more affortable.  Other than that I'm really in love with the brush set and I know I'll be using at least 2 of them non stop.

Sunday Quote: Believe

Sometimes I'm my worst enemy, sometimes I over think and I put myself down becoming my own worst enemy. Sometimes I'm too afraid other times I just don't have the guts to stand up for what I believe and I just stop believing. 

Today I promise my self to stop, to stop criticizing myself so hard. Stop analyzing every step and just take it, I promise to believe in my self and let god guide me to where I need to be.

Fall Friday: Makeup Inspiration

Unfortunantly I have no makeup look this Friday it makes me so sad because it's the day that I look forward to every week. The reason why I have no makeup it's because since I have been using the Michael Todd True Organics system I have been breaking out like crazy and I don't feel comfortable right know showing my skin right know, but I really hope that by next week I'll have some more looks up and some outfits aswell.

Overall Thoughts: 

My October Ipsy Glam bag has been one of my favorite bags ever, it had samples of my favorite things hair and makeup. The eyeshadow pallet has the perfect  color for fall I'm completely in love with the bronzed color on my lid and just eyeliner (look should be up later this week), the brush is really nice and soft and packs in color very nicely.  The Zoya nail polish is actually the first one that I have ever owned, it goes on very smoothly. The only thing that was not much of my linking was the gel it made my hair feel hard and stiff even after it was dried and styled. I love the little makeup bag and I can already see my self caring it with me from know on. Overall I'm very happy with this month and I can't wait for the next one.

Michael Todd Acne or Oily Sentitive Skin Regimen: Day One

To start let me give you a little back ground of my skin:

I have Oily combination with a very oily t-zone, I have some what sensitive skin since there is some products that will cause an allergic reaction but at the same time I can exfoliate my skin every day twice a day without it getting dried or damaged.  

Purchase the complete system: (Here)

 Why I choose this system: 

This system was something that I considered because its something that I hadn't tried and believe me I have used anything and everything from Proactive to Drugstore and nothing has really worked I would consistently have to change products because my skin will get used to them really fast.  I did get a sample of the Jojoba Charcoal Facial Scrub in one of my Ipsy Bag. At that time that I was using the scrub along with another cleanser my skin was the most clear I had seen it in a while.  To be honest with you I choose the system because  of the scrub.  

First Impressions: 

Charcoal Detox Deep Pore Gel Cleanser: 

Gently Removes dirt,oil, makeup and impurities without residue or irritation

* Removes all my face makeup with out having to scrub 

* This really gets inside my pores and makes them feel clean

* One pump is more than enough 

* Love the Citrus Scent 

Jojoba Charcoal Scrub: 

Exfoliates/Removes Impurities for all skin types

* It takes off all the dead skin away

* Very gentle on the skin 

* Love the Citrus Scent 

Kaolin Clay Detoxifying Mask

Extra absorbent 

* It feels very cooling on the skin 

* Skin feels clean and very refreshed after you washed it off

* It was on my skin for 15 Min (as indicated) 

* Used it as a spot treatment and noticed that it dried out the Pimple

Blue Green Algae Antibacterial Toner:

Highly moisturizing anti-inflamatory and anti-bacterial for all skin types

* Took away the whatever was left on my skin after the cleanser,scrub and the face mask 

* I didn't notice anything different than any other toner

* Scent is very strong (very old man like) 

Antioxidant Carrot Serum: 

Repairs and prevent future skin damage 

* Sinks into the skin easily

* Scent is very light but once applied on the skin it becomes stronger

Overall Thoughts: 

I love the way this system makes my skin feel, it calms down the redness and the bumps that I may have have significantly gone down.  I'm so in love with the gel cleanser I really like the way it removes all my face makeup and combined with the Scrub my skin feel amazingly clean.  The toner is the one thing that I have not yet seem to find anything that makes it unique keeping in mind that I have only used this system for 2 days maybe in a couple of days I'll notice something.  I also really enjoy the mask I used it the first day as indicated and it felt like it did pull out all impurities that I had, the second day I used it as a spot treatment and it did dry out some on the pimples that I treated.  The serum is very nice I don't feel the need to add a moisturizer afterwards since it gives me the right amount of moisture at night during the day I do use my Cetafyl Moisturizer. 

I will continue to use this and will update you after a month or so and show you an after picture like the one above. 

Thanks for reading, 

(I had been breaking out so bad for the past 2 months, even though I've been struggling  with acne for years it still messes with my head and affects my self esteem. )

I bet you can tell that I love this clutch since I got it on Sunday I have paired it with every outfit for the past 3 days. I wore this outfit out to have coffee with my friend on Monday morning which are finally chilly enough that I get to wear a sweater, we sat for hours just talking about our lives know and how much has changed since high school.  We also talked about our plans for the future, school, kids, family and of course this blog that to me is my priority at the moment, she asked where I see myself in 5 Years and I said that I'll love to see my blog grow and reach lots of people that hopefully I could inspire in someway.

The clutch was $49.98 plus the 50% off, plus I also got a sweater that was $19.97 plus the 50% off,  at the end of the day I walked away with three pieces that I love and spend less than $40.00.

Sometimes people will ask why you wear so much foundation but people don't know that having makeup on boosts up you self esteem since not all of us are blessed with perfect skin. I personally have dark spots from acne, I have really bad under eye circles that no matter what I do there not going no where because they are hereditary.  This is my current foundation routine from using all drugstore products I wear this at least five days a week the other two I eighter dont wear makeup or I use a BB Cream.  I personally dont feel that the Covergirl Outlast is a heavy foundation with just one pump I covered all my face and just added concelear to the areas that needed more coverage, and I just set with powder and I'm set for the rest of the day.

What's you favorite drugstore foundation?
