FOTN, Contacts,and Hair Rut

Hello chicas! Here is a quick look I did the other night mainly using bronzer, purple, and brown eye shadows. I think these colors are subtle and they complement brown and hazel eyes.

Another I am giving colored contacts another shot as the ones I got this summer were not very comfortable and looked funny. I got these Pure Hazel colored contacts and they are not as dry as the previous ones. I think they look decent what do you girls think?

The below images are a few snapshots of the look and hopefully you can notice the contacts. One thing that I am dealing with is the fact that I am tired of doing my hair so that is why I have this messy hair bun. I am not sure what to do with it. Any suggestions or ideas for my hair?

I love spending time with my momma and she ALWAYS has wonderful gifts for me everytime we meet. She has such a keen eye for detail and unique things that I will like. As was the case with these wonderful little treasures she got me this weekend from her shopping trip. Hope you like. xoxox

New Boots and a Semi OOTD

Hola chicas! I swore to myself that since winter is almost over I would not buy any more sweater, scarves, and BOOTS! While I have refrained from doing most of this I could not resist to but one more pair. lol.
I saw these boots and saw the little flower embellishment and thought they were a bit different.

I know they are just another pair of simple black boots but I beg to differ as these look different with the flower and the small heel that makes them so comfortable. Well at least that is what I tell myself to justify another aimless purchase ; )

Here are some quick snapshots I took that may not be so good as I was the one taking pics while I was wearing them, so please excuse the picture quality girls.

Look at the cute little flower.

Hello chicas! It was bit breezy last night and I decided to take advantage of it by layering. Did I say: LAYERING? Yes! Here in the desert that  is a rare occurrence but lately we have been blessed with cool weather where it allows us to have more options. Hence I pulled some random things and came up with this little outfit, hope you gals like.

Review: Urban Decay All Nighter Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray

This is a product I purchased at the end of October through Sephora. I have oily skin and even with face primer my face looks a bit oily at the end of my work day and that causes my foundation to look darker. I totally dislike this about my skin as it makes my foundation look muddier with the intensity of the oils. I do like a semi dewy look but my preference is a matte face as I can achieve the dewiness with bronzers and shimmers on the cheekbones.

I have tried MAC's Fix + but I do not like it on my face as it creates extra shine and glossiness like a reflective paper.heehe. I mainly use MAC's Fix + for pigments and eyeshadows.



Ok enough of the chatter and on with my mini review and how I used it:

Step 1: I moisturized my face and let the moisturizer absorb, I skipped face primer to really challenge the product and see if it will hold up.
Step 2: Applied my liquid foundation, blush, bronzer, etc.
Step 3: Shook the bottle and misted 2-4 pumps (I do 2-3).
Step 4: Set this with MUFE HD Powder.

The result: I work about 8-10hr days and I must say that my makeup was still in place and I even had blush and eyeshadow on still after the end of the workday with just slight oiliness and this was excluding my face primer. I believe this held up well for this duration but the product claims it lasts 16 hours wow momma! I don't think I have ever worn makeup for that long consecutively without a break or washing my face but this is good enough for me.

Price: $29.00 USD
Size: 4.0 US Fl. Oz.

Part 2: Sunday- Burlesque Show

After Lucky Strike we met with with a few friends at a bar for a Burlesque show. My was it fun, the dancers were so graceful with their seductive moves and their makeup and hairpieces were to die for. I only wish I would've not been so casual so I would not have felt so plain but eh what the heck it was a spur of the moment thing. So here's a quick photo recap of the rest of the night.






Part 1: Sunday OOTN

On Sunday my hunnybun and I were undecided as to what to do so I was thinking something casual. We went to Lucky Strike for happy hour and to watch the game. I didnt have a chance to style my hair and just simply pulled it back with a few bobbypins. Here is my outfit of the night and barely there makeup look. See what you girls think.
