Back to school Makeup & Maybelline products Review!


Is it me or this summer flew by? I cannot believe it will be September in less than 10 days. But that means it will be my birthday month, yay! Although some of you are not as excited because this means back to school. (I know the dreadful feeling).

After having such a great summer of staying up late it can be hard to get used to the new sleeping routine and waking up early, especially the first day! Since you are not used to this routine yet you might notice puffiness in the eyes and some swelling in the face that morning. Of course you do not want anyone to see that. So I will show you how to cover all of that and give yourself a nice fresh face look for your first day of school with these affordable drugstore products. I hope you all like! Xoxo




These are the Products I will be using. I tried to keep it simple because the ideal girl getting ready in the morning will not have time to apply 15+ prodcucts, at least I can say I always ran late for school!

-Maybelline Great Lash Big (brownish black)
-Maybelline Eyestudio Palette (50 taupe temptress)
-Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream (light/medium Sheer)
-Maybelline Eyestudio Gel (blackest black)
-NYX Blush (PB01 mocha)
-NYX Butter Gloss (tiramisu)
-Rimmel Scandal Eyes Eyeliner (black)


before and after
There is 2 reviews I wanted tell you guys about and one of them is the Maybelline Pure BB cream. For a while I have been using L’Oreal’s Magic Skin Beautifier, I still love it, but I decided to switch it up a notch.

The Pure BB cream is said to be 8-in-1 Beauty Balm Skin Clearing Perfector with 2% Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment. When purchasing this product it was sealed so I had no idea of which color tone to pick, I decided to go with the Light/Medium since the tone followed by that one appeared to be too dark for me. When trying this as soon as i got home that day I turned out to be very happy with the results. The tone blended out evenly with my skin, I did notice it reduced redness in my face; it minimized most pores, hydrated, and has a very lightweight feel. This product I would definitely recommend to anyone!



 The 2nd review is on the Maybelline Eyestudio Eye Shadow Palette (Taupe Temptress). Being the fact that these are drugstore eye shadows, I have to say they are somewhat pigmented. When applying them there were no fall outs. The only downfall is that they are very shimmery, so if you don’t like shimmer/glitter this is not the product for you. The colors consist of a shimmery champagne, shimmery bronze pink, shimmery silver, and a shimmery copper. And as always for best results do use a good primer as your base! 


TUTORIAL


On the top picture I had already applied the BB cream so now I am going to start with the eyes. Use the shimmery bronze pink as your base and apply all over your lid.



Apply the shimmery copper over your crease.

In a circular motion with a blending brush, blend the 2 colors you have applied to get rid of all harsh lines.
Apply the Shimmery champagne over your brow bone.

Apply the shimmery silver on your lash line.
Apply your top liner, I used Maybelline Eyestudio Gel. (I find it the easiest to work with)
Apply your eyeliner, I used Rimmel Scandal Eyes in black.


Finish off with your favorite Mascara, I used Maybelline Great Lash BIG in brownish black.




I added on NYX Blush in Mocha and Butter Gloss in Tiramisu, and this was my final look!


Have a great First Day Of School!

Lights,Camera,Flawless!

First off Happy New Years to all! I hope everyone is off to a great start for 2015! I am so ecstatic about this year already because great events have taken place in so little time. One of the events happened to be doing hair & make-up for the models of the new online woman apparel store, Lush Rebel. It was such an honor and so much fun working with the team who happen to be my closest friends. Knowing it was pretty much everyone's first time for their part of the project made it nerve wrecking, exciting, yet so accomplishing all at the same time!  Surely this was my first time doing hair & make-up for a photo-shoot, I tried to keep it natural, since the whole purpose of the photos is for clothing. The models were definitely looking flawless and stunning! Below are some head-shots of the models.

August Favorites

My very first “Favorites” is here!!! This month I made some great beauty discoveries that have left me with great satisfaction. I couldn’t wait to share my enthusiasm with you guys! I will tell you all about the details below! Lets start. Do you love the smell of coconut and love to feel the touch of soft hair through your fingers? Then you need to make your way over to these lovely creamy Herbal Essences Hello Hydration moisturizing shampoo and conditioner! I have not been using these products for long, but 2 weeks was all it took for me to fall in love. The smell, refreshing feeling, softness, and most importantly moisture and hydration this leaves me with has me smitten. Everything the bottle says around such as 100% softer hair within 1 wash, is true. Also since this contains coconut, a fun fact to know about the fruit is that it benefits your hair to grow! I will definitely stick around these products for a while.   When it comes to face cleansers I am ve...
