New boots for fall & winter

2010-11-01T15:52:00.000-06:00

Fall is here and Winter is right around the corner, I have wanted a pair of gorgeous and kick ass riding boots since the style came out in stores. Today I went on a mission to find the perfect wide calf black riding boot, now if you are a wide calf girl you know how frustrating it is to shop for boots (more like a really big pain in the ass.) I googled my life away =) and found the perfect pair (refer to the picture below), I believe these fit up to 17" inches in width and they were $25.00 (SAY WHAT) they have 30% off all boots on this awesome website. Definetly check it out ladies, they have some gorgeous boot styles.

Here is the link to them: http://www.avenue.com/clothing/Jacqueline-Stretch-Riding-Boot-Wide-Width.aspx?PfId=194913&DeptId=21037&ProductTypeId=1&PurchaseType=0&pref=pvp

Next up the brown ones!!!!!

Nailpolish I'm Loving

2010-10-08T10:33:00.000-06:00

Im guess I can start doing some nailpolish posts, I've really been loving painting my nails again and I recentely purchased some ELF polish for the first time. These nailpolishes are $1.00 each =) and boy are they good for the price...nothing close to OPI but not bad at all, good pigmentation and pretty good staying power, check out the pics below:

Playing around with Neutrals

2010-09-13T11:52:00.000-06:00

Hello lovelies =)

So I was playing around with some neutral eyeshadows the other day and it's amazing how many different looks you can get from just plain ol' brown eyeshadow. I'll leave you with some pictures of my day make-up look and hope that you guys enjoy!

Is it just me or am I getting better with make-up pictures . . . I hope you for my Video's sake =)

Overview - Maybelline Dream Products

2010-09-10T17:38:00.002-06:00

Ok lovelies =) I have a wholeeeeeeeeeee overview of some Maybelline Dream products for all of you, I thought it might be easier to just group them all and I can give you guys my opinions on more products at a time. Yayyy!

So let's get on with my actual opinion of there items:

Dream Smooth Mousse Foundation

I must say that I really enjoy this compact foundation, now I'm not a big drugstore foundation buyer I usually end up buying department store foundations. This foundation really surprised me and is a staple in my make-up kit now, I love the smooth consistency of the product and the fact that the coverage is medium to full. Just be carefull and don't apply too much because it could look cakey (Just sayinn!) It dries not completely matte nor satin but just the perfect amount of both and for $8.00, heyyy gimme some more =)

Dream Mousse Concealer

The Concealer is my favorite product from the bunch, it is so light and airy but man can it cover. I have a lot of acne scars and this concealer covered them really well without applying too much product, I also used this puppy under my eyes and I didn't even need to set it with powder. It dries to a matte finish and a little products goes a really long way. My top pick and I definetely recommend this to ANYONE =) (hmmm love!)

Dream Mousse Blush - Peach Satin

Dream mousse blush is a very nice cream blush (one of the best I have tried as far as application) the colour is subtle but beautiful and the mousse consistency is what makes it glow. I have tried more pigmented cream blushes like the NYX ones, but this cream blush holds it's own. This particular colour is perfect for Light to Medium skintones, me falling somewhere in between, but it gives a touch of shimmer and peachyness (that's a word right?) to your cheeks and it stays put all day.

Dream Matte Powder

Last but not least is the setting powder in this category, It is a very good setting powder giving you a small amount of coverage without adding too much product on. It is very matte and has decent staying powder but I tend to use it more with lighter coverage foundations rather then full coverage ones. If you have oily skin this is a good product to try to keep your skin looking matte throughout the day!

Smokey Cat-Eye

2010-08-29T14:04:00.000-06:00

This is one of my favorite eye look, it's dramatic enough but not too over the top! I love this eyelook so much and I hope that all of you enjoy it as well.

Different Make-up looks I loveee

2009-12-08T01:11:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted some make-up looks in a little while and i always take pictures of different ones I do everything & forget to post them as always, I'll put them all together into this one blogpost, I've been having so much fun with different make-up techniques and color combinations, I love make-up so much . . .it really is my life and I put so much passion into it ( I loOooOove it) check out some of the looks below, also I'm filming a make-up tutorial tomorrow as well and hopefully it will be up on my Youtube channel very soon. Have a goodnight everyone!!!

This look is awesome, I love the sharp outer edge & as soon as I stepped outside everyone was complimenting this look, I think purple is a great color to play with, one of my favorite looks.

I recreated this look from another youtube guru but toned it down for work and I'm in LOVE with it, it's so soft but the brown in the crease really warms up the look alot. It's one of my faves right now!

I wore this look today, I love to wear a neutral eye but spice it up with a darker color in the outer V from time to time, you can never go wrong with a look like this!

Nyx Round Lipstick Swatches & Review

2009-12-03T00:46:00.003-07:00

I received my NYX round lipsticks a couple of days ago in the mail, I ordered a couple of them along with some of the round lipglosses from cherryculture.com (purchased with my own money) I wanted to put some swatches of the colors that I did get so hopefully it will help anyone who is contemplating in buying some of these lipsticks, they are extremely affordable and nice quality lip products for the price. I will definitely be re-purchasing some more colors, the pigmentation of the lipsticks is amazing and they are beyond smooth and creamy. The staying power is not as long lasting as other lipstick brands like MAC or Nars, but it doesn't really bother me . . . . enough rambling and lets get on with the Swatches:

Louisiana

Narcissus

Strawberry Milk

Circe

Iris

Iris with Nyx round lipgloss in Whipped = Love<3

Some Random Make-up Looks =)

2009-11-06T00:51:00.001-07:00

I just wanted to post some random make-up looks that i've been wearing the past couple of days, I wan't to film some upcoming tutorials with these looks possibly, Check them out:

Simple Neutral look =P

Gold & Green. . . Love it!!

Purplee eyeshadow makes me happy*

I really love playing with colors and wearing darker eye looks in the daytime . . it just makes me smile* I love neutral looks because you can pair them with any clothing or accesories but i'm a sucker for playful smokey eyes. I think i might do a daily MOD (Makeup of day) . . . . I can't wait for the tutorials to be up on my channel. I think it's enough make-up talk time to go to bed.

Who Am I?

2009-11-05T09:44:00.002-07:00

I wanted to quickly introduce myself to myself I guess, since i'm the only one reading this blog hahaa*
I wanted to start this blog for the sole reason of my Weightloss Journey, I'm giving it another go, just last year around the same time I lost 60 pounds, managed to maintain the weightloss but regardless ended up gaining it all back ( Don't we all, when we really don't put 100% of ourselves into the transformation) Well I'm ready to put 100% into my transformation this time, I'm 20 years old (I think it's now or never)

Today is November 5 - 2009, I weigh in at 259 lbs
My Chest Measures. . dum dum dum dum . . 44 Inches
My Waist Measures . . 40 Inches
& My Hips Measure 55 Inches

I used to be on the herbal magic program, but stopped going because first I was LAZYYYYY and not motivated and second because it was very pricy ($300 a month just for their pill products) Well I must say that their nutrition program and meals are AMAZING* their structure is simple to follow and it's well balanced. With exercise and nutrition i'll attempt to do it on my own, from the support of my family of course. So today is the first day of a very long and painful journey and i'm extremely excited for it.

I'm off to exercise but stay tuned for Beauty Posts, i'm obsessed with make-up, hair and skincare & having worked retail in a cosmetics department store and obviously being crazy obsessed I believe I have alot of knowledge I can pass on to everyone here. I mean if at least it makes someone happy or smile then I know i've done good =) 'till next time

Goofy Picture =D
