FAVES Products of the moment!!


These are the products that I constantly use the most plus one more that I forgot to take a picture of.

1) N.Y.C Smooth Skin Pressed Face Powder- I REALLY love this powder to the point that I am almost hitting pan on it, it glides on easily, eliminates shine and delivers a silky finish. Helps reduce the appearance of lines and imperfections. Wear alone or over makeup. Great for quick touchups throughout the day. I kind of compared it to the MAC pressed blot powder which I also have but I always come back to this one. It's translucent which means since it has no color it will not add a specific color to my face after I apply my foundation which is a plus to me. And the best part is the price which retails at about $2.00.

2) MAC Face & Body Foundation- Now this is one of the foundation that is not liked by most people those I've heard that is, Simply because is not a full coverage foundation it is a light to medium coverage but you can also build on it as much as you like without looking cakey. It's waterproof with that being said it's great for summer time cause you know you know it won't melt off your face and you can use it on your body withouth being transfer into your clothes. I like that it feels light on my skin since I am not the one to like heavy foundations on so it almost feel like you have no makeup on.

3) MAC Paintpot in Soft Ocher-  Now first of all Soft Ocher is great with people who have yellow undertones skin ME but if you have Pink undertones you can use Painterly Paintpot and it's perfect for you. I was using Urban Decay Primer Potion and TooFaced Shadow Insurance but I found that just using this particular paint pot does not allow me to crease and my makeup last for a very long time. Now from UDPP and TFSI I prefer UDPP and I will continue to buy it to use it on clients but as for me I am loving this paintpot.

4) MAC Powder Blush in Buff- This is the one thing I don't own many of, This is my third blush from MAC but I really love this color it's a matte finish with a pink and peach color to it. Very pretty and soft looking.

5) MAC eyeshadow in Grand Entrance (LE)- I should not review this product simply because it's a limited edition and most of the time they will be gone and never know when they will come back if they do at all. But I really love this color and I have to talk about it..MAC website still has it in case you want to get your hands on it. It's a frosty neutral beige. You can pair this eyeshadow with just about any color, Pinks, Purples, Browns, black ect. It works great with anything...A truly everyday eyeshadow.

6) MAC eyeshadow in Mulch- This one is not a limited edition and it's an Intense golden reddish brown flecked with golden bronze shimmer (Velvet). Another everyday eyeshadow which I love to pair it with Grand Entrance.

My list is not always going to be the same so always stay tune for a new list.

My New Hobby



Recently I have found myself going nuts for small/miniature perfumes. I love collecting them. I don't like buying big bottles of perfume just because I know I will never get to the bottom of them...And since I can never stay in one fragrance at a time I prefer to buy miniatures and my do they last. I mean I don't know if it doesn't happens to you but I never make it to the bottom of a perfume. I find this little things at Walmart, Target, Ulta, Sephora even Ebay. The one...well I should say two I am loving as of right now is Tresor from Lancome and Juicy Couture. They have become the ones I reach for the most. To me Tresor from Lancome has a very soft baby powder smell to me that I just love and Juicy Couture has a flower smell it almost reminds me of the perfume Sung by Alfred Sung it has that Jasmine smell to it very classy. Also my winter go to perfume Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker...My do I love using this perfume during winter times..Don't know why but I do. So these are my favorites as for right now.

Dream Cream Updated Review


Ok I have done a review before here on my blog about this cream. So, this will be a re-review of this product just because I have found better use for it then just my body.  I had mentioned on the last review that I was told by one of the Lush associates not to use this on my face simply because since the cream is so thick it might clog my pores..but I have been fighting this skin issue (face)..which I would called a rash turn acne on the side of my cheeks...I decided I have tried anything possible to make this go away except the Dream Cream...I told myself " Well let's go for it what else do I have to loose" So I started using it only where needed just to begin with and see how it went..So after cleaning my face and patting it dry I would use it on the side of my cheecks where I have been breaking out and to my surprise this is THE ONLY product that made my skin way much better..is not completly gone but is surely way better then it used to. I started reading the ingridients and the one that caught my eye was Tea Tree Oil.




So I research on it and find that it's used in medical and cosmetics as an antiseptic, antifungal and antibacterial read on it right here: http://tinyurl.com/y3as33
So this even got my skin even better with almost everything gone. Now please note before you start using Tea Tree Oil read all labels, Do research ect...Just because not everyone response well to 100% pure Tea Tree Oil so make sure you check all before you decide to start using this product. Also check http://www.makeupalley.com on what other people have to say about it. I have read that is better then using 10% Benzoyl peroxide a product found in acne treatments ( Clean & Clear) among others. However it does not work as fast...So they say I think it works just as fast..I saw results in about a week. I personaly I like it and will continue to use it. I got mines at Target..Walmart also has it. If you have used this product before leave me a comment and let me know what you think of it.

Dream Cream from LUSH Review!!



I recently visited my local LUSH store and I found my new love cream. It's no new news that my skin is very dry and Dream Cream is the best I have ever tried. I think I have used all lotions and creams from stores and never found THE one that leave my skin feeling SO soft and Moisturized. This is one of LUSH best seller and I can see why. It cost $22.50 for 8.4 oz and all well worth it. I apply this soon after I showered all over my body and believe me when I say a little it goes a long way and or I use it before I go to bed. It smells freshly clean although I don't think is a smell just anyone would like but I definitely love it and It leaves my skin baby soft with a beautiful healthy glow. It is thick but not sticky or oily at all. Depending on your skin type since is thick it's not recommended to use on your face as it can clog your pores but if you decide to use ask the SA at the store or do your research. I got many complimens from my husband :o) . So I would definitely buy this again. Here is some information on the ingridients:


Oat Milk (Avena sativa), Rose Water (Rosa centifolia), Olive Oil (Olea europaea), Fair Trade Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Glycerine, Stearic Acid, Triethanolamine, Tincture of Benzoin (Styrax benzoin), Rose Absolute (Rosa centifolia), Chamomile Oil (Anthemis nobilis), Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia), Lavender Oil (Lavandula hybrida), Cetearyl Alcohol, *Geraniol, *Limonene, *Linalool, Perfume, Methylparaben, Propylparaben. *Naturally occurs in essential oils


Its Natural, Not tested on Animals and It's Vegan.


The unfortunate part is that they don't ship to P.O Boxs, APO/FPO and International Addresses.
Check out their website for a store near you. http://www.lush.com/
