"Makeup"

A girl's best friend!

Looking at yourself in the mirror, a reflection of your face is staring right back at you. You keep looking at yourself and all you see is a pale complexion. A dull, lifeless face. You wonder how you can look as beautiful as other models on tv, runway shows, even actresses. Well, no more worries...

Grab a friend and head to the drugstore and pick-up some makeup essentials. Every girl should have on her vanity, or purse a good starting foundation. It evens out your skin tone. A good face primer before applying your foundation is the secret but for starters you can skip it. Next use some blush, eyeshadow, mascara and you are good to go. You will look and feel fabulous. A nice, healthy complexion is what every girl wants.

My favorite makeup items are the Clinique Even Better Makeup SPF 15, Cover FX Pressed Bronzing Powder, Jemma Kidd Blush Duo. I don't know what I would do without them. All it takes is about 5 minutes in the mornings, after I wash and moisturize my face. I apply my makeup, and I am ready for the day.

Fashion: Hospital Scrubs

This post if for the career minded people who are in or who are studying in the medical field, and need a proper attire to wear to work or for students who attend class. As we all know, doctors, nurses, dental assistants, dentists are just some of the people who need to wear scrubs to work. Plain, simple outfit as they deal with many people and different situations in operating rooms, or whatever the situation may be. So, why ruin our nice everyday clothes? This is why they wear scrubs. You can get dirty and it doesn't even matter.


Finding scrubs can be hard. Most stores don't sell these items, as they are most specialized. If you live in the United States you will love this website I came across. http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/. They carry a large variety of scrubs. Woman's wear to men's wear to children's. They can make custom scrubs to suit your needs. They carry coats, shirt's, pants, lab coats, even hat's. They are based in Austin TX, and offer free shipping on orders over $155. 


I would definitely recommend this site as they have cheap hospital scrubs at low prices.

SummerTime Fun-Wear!

With summer in full swing, the days are longer and the nights are shorter, most people love to hang out and enjoy what the weather brings. Happiness, enjoying the outdoors, and spending lovely evenings outside on patios. Whether your downtown or just enjoying a cup of coffee on a beautiful terrace you should definitely still dress to impress.

Here are some of my favorite designers and things that I love.

First off, everyone should own a nice lovely dress. Summer is all about showing off your curves, sexy legs, or decolletage. Some of my favorite evening dresses are by BCBGMAXAZRIA. The "pink flush pleated organza strapless bustier dress" is something that catches my eye. It is short, cute, and so much fun if your going out with friends to a party. Another one that every girl must own should be the pink silk metallic stripe strapless dress by Nicole Miller. Long, sleak, sofisticated, yet free-flowing. Suits every girls figure, a total must have in your closet.

Not only would an evening dress look great, you should check out my top favorite designer handbags. No outfit would be complete without one or two. :) Check out the "black leather Chandra crystal jeweled clutch", by Jimmy Choo. All I know is that is going on my wish list. :) If you're looking for something must simpler for a daytime look, my advice is to check out: Yves Saint Laurent. Simple, yet perfect to storage all your makeup, wallet, phone, and keys, without it being too small. From Prada to Fendi there are many choices and styles with which you can achieve your desired fashion look.

Hope this helps, and remember girls put your best foot foward! :)

Etsy Site

While surfing the Internet and watching YouTube videos one day, I came across a website mentioned on YouTube called Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/). The site has a lot to do with buying and selling items. People selling handmade items, clothes, beauty items, bath & body products, etc... If you're into fashion and would like something original and made with lots of LOVE you should definitely check it out.


I, myself created a store where I'll be selling my homemade bath products. Ranging from bath bombs, to soaps. I have found a passion in soap making and enjoy what I do very much. I will be putting up some items shortly in the upcoming weeks. Here's a link to my page.

Check out some of my creations...
More will be coming soon....

HOMEMADE Bath Bombs

After discovering LUSH and all their wonderful bath bombs, I became obsessed with them. So, one day I started to create my own bath bombs, and boy can I can tell you how much I enjoy making them. Of course, I love using them just as much!


They are all natural, hand-made. With the best oils for your skin and essential oils to help you relax and feel calm. Your skin feels so smooth and soft and its getting fed with good nutrients from the oils. Jojoba, coconut, aloe, etc..the list can go on. Some have surprises in them: flower petals, toys, seeds.. The best part is they smell good and feel great on your skin.


My collection started off with a few simple scents. The Classic "Rose", "Peppermint", "Jasmine". Most are made with natural, glycerin skin safe colorants. They give a hint of color to your bath water and wont stain your tub.


I am in the process of making many more. Some with fragrance oils and FD&C colorants, which turn your water into a nice color, to further promote your relaxation experience.

BLUSH

Here is my BLUSH COLLECTION.... ENJOY!!!

My all time favorite blushes are from Rimmel London. I love their whole line of cosmetics from face foundations, to powders, mascara's, blushes, you name it...I Love them all.

I honestly don't have a lot of MAC products, but I do have to say that this blush from them is great. When you want that extra punch of color this one will do it for me. I am fair skin toned so I have to apply it with a light hand or else it can get a little heavy. I use this blush when I want to look more tanned and especially in the summer.

Here I have the L'oreal True Match blush in Neutral on the left. It's a peachy color and looks great when you want to look more natural. True Match has many products where you can match your overall makeup to your skin tone. Let's say you are cool tone, they have colors example: C1, C2, etc.. C meaning COOL. The same goes for warm colors. W1, W2, etc...or they have neutral. N1, N2, etc. Once you find your perfect skin tone shade it is easy to find which blush or foundation will work best on you.

In the middle we have the NYX blush. I picked this one up when it was on sale at my drugstore and have not regretted it since then. I love it! It is so girly...PINK...What's not to love?

The one on the right is my "Blend n' Glow" blush, by Bonnebell. It is very light in color, almost blending right into my skin. But I really do love it, depending on my mood that day I sometimes do like that "barely there" makeup look.

I hope you enjoyed my blush collection, although I don't know the prices of these products I do know that they weren't expensive at all. Between 5-8 dollars I would say. Depending when you purchase them, you can get most of them when they are on sale.

So, keep on BLUSHING...till next time!!!
