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.

OOTD: Weekday Simple Girly

Hola ladies been away for a little bit due to some work related travels. I thought I may not have anything to post but looking today I was super duper casual and thought why not share this. We don't always have to be decked out in the latest clothes and shoes to feel and look pretty. At least that is my thought on it. This is a very simple laid back but girly look. You can look great at school, work, store, or running errands.

Shoes: Toms, Necklace: Vintage Top: Old Nave Skirt: Target

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.

OOTD and Friend's Bday Celebration



We ordered The Mulberry and boy did this get us going early that is all I can say.



The Wilshire view on the rooftop

This past weekend was my dear friend Candy's bday celebration and what better way to celebrate then to be together and celebrate all the good times of another year. This occassion was celebrated at The Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles which is a modern boutique hotel in the midst of the metropolitan LA area. The room had a soft bed and flat screen TV perfect for a girls night weekend or a romantic getaway as well. There are no complaints of the staff who were very accomodating to our requests for parking and even moved our reservation at the roof to their inside section to make sure we did not get rained on. I would definitely reccommend this hotel since it was so convenient to check in check out and get your car so quickly.

I decided to wear a LBD you can never go wrong with that and to match that some stellar Dream Come True pumps that were so sparkly. I loosely curled my hair and topped it off with a chandelier necklace which I had not worn at all. This is only the beggining of our weekend so stay tuned for more pics later on.

OOTD and FOTD: Casual Afternoon

Hola chicas so sad to see the weekend come to an end. Well here is a look that I wore this weekend I went shopping with my sister and my mom.  I didn't want to have perfectly styled hair and since I would be potentially trying things on so the straight hair is easy and a loose fitted print top was perfect for the warm weather as well.

Mini CVS Haul

Hola chicas I have not been keeping things organized and track of the things I buy too consistently. Part of this is to blame YOU ladies on the blogs and on Instagram keep feeding my buying when you post some enticing beauty products lol.

Well I have been popping into drugstores during my lunchtime or when on an errand and usually these are FLASH trips about 12-15 minutes in duration that usually consist of grabbing things Im curious about or my good 'ol faves.

I had a 25% off coupon loaded on to my CVS card electronically so this is even more ressure to go on my guilt free drugstore runs.

I picked up:
Broadway Nails that were on sale french manicure and a zebra trimmed tip pair.
Ambi Even Tone SPF Face cream
Studio 35 Buffing Brush (I like the small size and how thick it is)
Sinful Nail Polishes (3 of them green and green glitter flecks, also lavender)
WetnWild nail polish (1 forgot the name)
Jordana Easyliner Retractable Eyeliner (I wear this everyday on my lower lashes $1.99 for YEARS)
Kate Moss for Rimmel Lipsticks in 04 and 01 (These were the last two of the collection I needed)
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Foundation and Concelear (This has been my March foundation I am still using it now to test it out)
Hershey's Milk Chocolate and Almond (Not for me someone else ate it as a pm snack)
Stride Spark with B6 and B12 vitamins (Flacro Kinetic Mint woa)

Oh and almost forgot these Revlon lip butters Candy Apple and Lollipop were on sale $4.49 instead of the usual $7.50 or $8.00 last week at Walgreen's and picjed these up on another trip. I know you can find some great deals at Meijer and their beauty supplies

Even with a small to medium loot I walk out feeling good when I go on these flash drugstore hauls plus they have a great policy about exchanging and returning items you are not satisfied with (which I never do) and coupons to top it off.

OOTN and FOTN: Swallows

Hola chicas! Here is an outfit of the night. It was super casual but I tried to make it a little bit more stylish by adding a scarf that had these neat swallow birdies printed on it.

I went out to dinner with my hunnbunn so I guess you could say it was a casual date night and I was trying lol. I added a teal blue batwing top and my scarf. Underneath the scarf a long necklace that came in a set but only used one.

Makeup a soft bronzey look and peachy cheeks nude lip. Please excuse some of the images they were at night so they may not be very clear.

Top: Wet Seal Leather Jacket: Georges Marciano Guess

Not a good shot as I was walking. Wow you can really see that Sunset Beach Milani blush!
