Lip of the Day: Plumful

Hola chicas I got this MAC lipstick since I have quite a few of their must have shades. The shades I have are the standard that most beauty fanatics have from the very dark to the party bright pink and tropical reds.

Sometimes I want a "normal" lip shade with a hint of color not being pink or nude. I chose Plumful as this gives just a slight punch of color and enhance most of our lip colors which can have a hint of red or mauve shade. I was quite impressed at how smooth this lipstick was and it enhanced my lips just the right amount perfect for those days when you don't want to have the full tranny makeup face. Yes! there are days when I want to breathe! Very few days since I love makeup but I would def recommend this shade as it is perfect for the office or for the weekend.

Lip Of the Day: Just Peachy

I decided to wear a soft but bright color on this day to mix things up a bit.

This is a great color to warm up your face and get airing ready. Wet n Wild lipstick in Peachy is a creamy peach matte shade that lasts throughout the day.

Con: The formula is very dry and can chap your lips if you do not apply a lip moisturizer.

Below is a quick picture and a swatch I did since I made a video on this day and a few of you asked for a swatch of Just Peachy. You can't go wrong with a $1.99 lipstick.

FOTD: Face of the Day using Mac's Faux Lipstick

I recently picked up Faux which is a Satin finish lipstick from MAC. Most of my nude lipsticks are beige, orange hued, or very light to wear on a daily basis. I normally reserve the super nude lip for evening with a simple smokey eye or use it for daytime with a dramatic liner.

This was a very soft consistency lipstick and applied true to its color as I was worried the red of my lips would prevent it from showing so much. I used it after moisturizing my lips and decided to do a flawless makeup look to really showcase the lips. I am surprised that this brown hued lipstick showed up and blended very well for my skin tone. This will now be added to my arsenal of daily lipsticks. Hope you like the swatch I did and showed it on my lips so you can see how it looks on similar skin tone like mine.

Here is how it looked later on in the afternoon without reapplication.

August FOTD (Faces of the Day)

I decided to put this post up as I noticed face pictures in my camera roll. I have noticed that through the month of August it has been all about a clean simple face with just a variation of lip shades and balms. In regards to hair I have to admit that with the weather I have maintained my hair in a back or top bun or straigh sleek with no volume. With this hair regimen I am keeping myself cool and my hair healthy since it has gotten very very limited styling and heat as well as chemicals from products such as hair spray and gels.

Want to look like you spent tons of time getting ready? Want to look different everyday? 

• Use studs, dangly, and various types of earrings (Have them handy for choices)
• Change the position of your ponytail, do the top bun, back bun. Or play with a center or side part it makes a big difference.
• Have a bowl with different lipsticks, balms, or glosses for easy grab and on the go. A new shade everyday makes you feel like a different person and can lift your mood.
• Use scarfs, necklaces to change the look of your top. A simple white top can look totally different if worn with a necklace one day and a scarf later.
• Be comfortable and smile.

I hope you will like this post just a reminder to give ourselves the time of day and display our beauty.

OOTN: Birthday Night 2012

Last week Thursday Aug 9th was my official birthday but somehow I have been celebrating and just barely recovering  from the last part of it this weekend. I sure don't recover from a hangover as fast as I used to lol.

For my birthday night look I wanted to keep it clean and simple as I am getting a bit pickier about what flatters my body. Opted for this peplum style look with a creme top and creme and black shoes to tie into the the look.

I hope you can see the peplum has a long tail in the back I loved that about it.

Collar necklace: Charming Charlie

Highlighter: NARS Albatross, Miss Adoro Lashes, Maybelline Bold Gold Color Tattoo and  a black brown shadow on the crease.

OOTN: Pastels and Neutrals

I almost forgot to post this simple outfit of the night. Its a neutral butterscotch colored sheer button down paired them with some mint jeans last worn HERE.

The last thing I decoded was on the shoes and instead of choosing a dark or taupe pair I said why not add another pastel shade to make this more fun along with same color lipstick. I was pleased with the way the pops of color complimented each other and like pastels, plus it was only my second time wearing these jeans which I think I need to wear more. The pictures were rushed and not the best but you get the idea lol.

I found this blazer with cute off white and black stripes to offset the neon Cami and fuchsia lips. What i was wearing on my lips and my outfit reminded me of the club we were in that very night so also included an inspiration picture here.
