Ruffian Nail Lacquer

Ruffian "Hedge Fund"

The only reason why I get excited that fall is coming is because I can finally start painting my nails “fall friendly” colors! Don’t get me wrong, buying fall clothing is the best feeing ever but when your “fall” doesn’t start until December... that’s when its time to choose another reason to fall in love with the season. 

The minute my Birchbox appeared at my doorsteps, I knew my Ruffian Nail Lacquer arrived. It’s such a beautiful olive green tone, perfect for any color skin and it applied beautifully. Two coats is all thats needed. What I’m mostly impressed with this is that it last longer than most of my other nail polishes. I’ve had this nail posh on for quite some time now- 5 days to be exact (not that anyones counting...) and not a major chip has happened! 

You can purchase the Ruffian Nail Lacquers individually for $10 each or as a trio in either the Crowdsourced Collection or the Classics Collection for $24 at Birchbox!

Ecuador Trip 2013!

I had a little trip to my native country Ecuador this past summer and I'd like to share some photos I took! I know this is somewhat differently from my usual posts but once in a while something different is good. I've always taken trip there but it was usually to visit family. Well this time, thought it was mostly that what I did, I was able to sneak out and have some adventure time ;)
 If most of you guys didn't know, Ecuador is on the west side of South America. Its mostly known for the Galapagos Island that is towards the coast of it. This is the day I just landed at the capitals airport. Their new locations is very close to the mountains, which makes an amazing view when your landing.
 The equator splits Ecuador in half, where the yellow line is drawn is where the equator passes. It's actually pretty neat because literally be standing on two hemispheres at the same time!
 I also went to Mindos, its a small little city north from the capital, where you can scale down cascades, go tubing, and do other crazy outdoor adventures. It took about two hours to get from Quito to Mindos in car, and let me tell you something, when your body is used to flat, straight roads and then you do this road trip, you'll need a garbage bag. Ha ha! The white "fluff" you see there near the road is actually clouds! Quito is really high up in altitude and driving to Mindos in the weee early morning, you see this beautiful view!
 That, my friends is Mount Chimborazo (which is currently inactive). Its the only mountain in Ecuador with ice caps at the tipity top of it.
Now this is the city where my entire family was born, Loja. Its located all the way south of Ecuador, near the boarder of Peru. Its a small city, but probably the coldest city of all! Though sunshine was shining, it was absolutely freezing! I mean since they are located south of the equator (currently in winter) and surrounded by mountains its explainable.
 This is Zamora, another country/mointany city west of Loja. We spent the day there in a villa by the mountains eating delicious food and watching the Ecuador vs. Spain soccer match! This is probably my favourite picture of all that I took on this trip. It was breathtaking there.
This is on the plane ride returning back to Florida. I believe we were about to hover over Cuba.

And that's it folks! I absolutely loved my trip there and definitely recommend anyone that can to go there! Its such a beautiful country to visit! Now that I'm back I'll definitely be uploading more frequently than before.

Revlon ColorStay Longwear Nail Polishes


This year, Revlon has been on point with their amazing products. From their Nearly Naked foundation to their Just Bitten Kissable lipstains and now nails! I have been absolutely been head over heels with their amazing nail products (and this is coming from an only Essie nail polish owner). I recently bought these two from their ColorStay Range. The orange redish tone is called Marmalade and the nude one is called Bare Bones. What I love about them is that, unlike the Essie polishes, this is a double barrel brush that is nice and big! You can easily use one brush motion to cover the entire nail. Once its applied, it dries quite quickly. Though it claims to last you for 11 days, I believe it wont last you for that long. It's last me for about 4 days before it starts chipping. I really suggest you get your hands on these! They are just really great.

Glossybox: June 2013


This months Glossybox was inspired by American Beauty Dallas Shaw. She sketched the design outside the box itself as well as the card that comes with it. I was really excited for this box because in theme of American Beauty, Glossybox has 6 samples of Oscar de la Renta Essential Luxuries frangrance collection!

Let me just start off my saying that he minute I opened this box, a smell of something freaking amazing was the first thing I noticed. My hands immediately went for the small, navy Oscar de la Renta goodie bag where all 6 samples were. Once I got a good sniff from all of them, I concurred that "Mi Corazon" and "Caralina" are my personal favorites! 

The Complextion Enhansing Lipstick from Tarte is suppose to help you have the appearance of bigger, fuller lips. It's a tinted gloss, a nude color with a pink color inside. They shade they give you is design just for my lip color. Cannot wait to try it out! 

Another product from the box was the Honey Almost Nourishing Dry Oil Mist from C.Booth.  Its a dry oil that absorbs the into the skin leaving that area glowing and its provides hydration. Since I'm going on holiday to South America in a couple of weeks, I'll be trying this out then! I just hope its doesn't make my skin really shiny and greasy.

Glossybox included one of the many products from Philip B. I got the Philip B. Styling Gel. It's made of Sea Weed Extracts of Irish Moss & Anori and Vitamin B5. The Philip B. Hair line is meant to revitalise your hair and help it become healthy again. The packaging is really cute and simple and smells really good, kind of like fresh flowers.

The last product that came in June's Glossybox was the SpaRitual Nail Polish in "Whirlwind Romance" which is like a light pink with shimmers on it. Very cute for summer. What I like about this brand is that their nail polishes are long lasting and hardly ever chips. I tried it on one nail when I first got it, and I can say that its a really good nail polish. Didn't chip, stayed the same color and its just looks very pretty!

That's it for June's Glossybox! I really like all the products that came in it and I'm so excited to try them all out! You can sign up for Glossybox on their website, its a monthly subscription of $21. They ship to Uk, US and Ireland.

June Favorites


Another month has passed, another monthly favorites post! I am in utter shock that were half way through the year O.O Anyways, here are the items I've loved using throughout this month!

If you cant tell from previous posts, I am obsessed with cream eyeshadows. They are so easy to use and take no time! I've been loving MAC's Paint Pot in Constructivist and Maybelline's Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze and Pomegranate Punk. They go on smooth and stay put once they dry. Xtreme Lashes in Xpresso has been my all time favorite eyeliner this month. It glides on like a gel liner and won't move! With the summer heat and humidity that Florida has, this is just perfect. Maybelline has never let me down with their range of mascaras. The Mega Plush Volum Express mascara by Maybelline is being put to good use! From their range, its the one that makes my lashes thicker and I've been loving using it this month just by itself or with a bit of liner.

For the lips, I've rekindled my love for MAC's Velvet Teddy Lipstick. Its a matte, neutral color with brown with pink tones in it. Its simple and very similar to my natural lip color and stays on for a while before the need to do touch ups. I bought The Body Shop Shea Body Butter at Ulta a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I bought the small one because I mostly use it for my hands and carry it around in my purse but definitely buying the bigger one soon! I am absolutely in love with the smell. Lastly, Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant is probably the best purchase I've made this month. I still have no clue what is causing me to have dry patches around my nose and mouth but every night, usually before I go to sleep, I've been applying this around my lips and mouth and it's helped so much! Its still dry but its gotten a lot better now and I just love how it leaves my lips nice and moisturised! Though the smell is a little funky, it is definitely amazing.

Obsession: Cream Eyeshadows and Smokey Eyes


I can't put my finger on when, how or even why I started becoming obsessed with cream eyeshadows. Maybe because they are just so darn easy and fast to use or just because I can create a quick smokey eye makeup look with it. So why not combine the two?! I've been recreating this look for a while now, tweaking it here and there, and I'll like to share it with you lovely people what I've been doing so far this summer!

Since it's officially summer and Florida can become.... quite... hot & so freaking humid, I've stepped down to using tinted moisturizers and BB/CC creams. To start, I apply with my fingers Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturizer in shade 03. It adds just enough coverage for certain spots but still leaving my skin looking natural. I then use the Laura Mercier Undercover Pot in UC-2. For day time, I usually avoid using the corrector and secret camouflage and just use the translucent powder that comes with it. It's amazingly light weight and doesn't leave my face looking cakey throughout the day. For the cheeks I apply Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush in Coral Reef with a Real Technique Stippling brush. Its a really nice reddish coral tone acts like a cream but dries as a powder. What I like about it is that its very sheer; you can apply as much as you want but it will never make you look like a clown.

For the eyes, its pretty much applying the product and blending it out. I start off with MAC's Prolong Paint Pot in Constructivist -applying it with my ring finger and blending it all over my lid and crease and on the lower lashes of my eyes. This is the perfect base; doesn't crease and lets the rest of my makeup last. I then apply really close to my top lashes Xtreme Lashes GlideLiner Long Lasting Eye Pencil in Xxpresso/145 and smug it out with either a MAC 217 or the Base Shadow Brush from Real Techniques. This eyeliner is amazing because you can use it as a liner (literally glides on your eyes- so soft!) and it dries like a gel making it smudge-proof. If you want to add a little more definition to your eyes, add a black liner really, but I mean realllllly close to the top lashes (I used Carbon Eye Shadow from MAC). What I discover is best to apply any eyeliner on the top of you lashes is to grab a mirror and look down at it; it makes applying eyeliner so precise and close to the lashes so much better than just pulling on the side of your eye. For the bottom lashes and waterline, I prefer Rimmel London Soft Kohl Kajah Eye Liner in Sable Brown. Maybelline never lets me down with any of their mascaras; I honestly love them! I'm currently using Maybelline's Volum' Express the Falsies Mascara which just extend my eyelashes and makes my eyes look bigger and fuller.

I tend to do my eyebrows last so that I can see what kind of look I'm going for; if I'm doing more of a dramatic eyes then I make sure i just fill in the gaps and keep it simple and clean. If its more of a softer look, I'm able to play them out more and make them more darker and bolder. I have the Anastasia Brow Genius Kit in Medium Brown. Comes with the waterproof gel, the compact powder and the applicator that has a spoolie and an angle brush to apply. To finish of the look, I apply a NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Sponge Cake to just add that bit of shine to the lips.

Thought this look may be a strong look for certain people, I really enjoy this look because I know it will last me for a while. No creases, no looking like a raccoon at the end of the day, nothing. Just a little touch ups on the cheeks and lips and call it a day.

New Origins GinZing Moisturzer


Origins GinZing Energy Boosting Moisturizer $26.50
Finding the right moisturizer for anyone can be tricky. For me, its been one hell of a journey. They are either too think and leave my face oily or they don't moisturize enough and leave my face dry. Origins GinZing energy boosting moisturizer is probably my favourite choice of face product for the summer. Its light-weght and oil free but it leaves my face so soft and makes my skin more radiant and glowing throughout the day. It can be used throughout the morning or at night time. What I love most about this product is the smell. Before I apply it, I usually take a good whiff of it and it makes me smile from ear to ear. It has the smell of fresh oranges with a little bit of a gin to it. AND the scent doesn't stay with you, so your not smelling like oranges all day long. It's just the perfect moisturizer for a summer day.

Have you tried any other Origin Products?! What's your favourite one?

Glossybox: May 2013!




This months Glossybox is the first time I have ever received any of their boxes (or any beauty boxes at all!). I was so excited to receive it that I actually counted down the days until it came and tracked it day by day, a bit obsessed I know. It was really excited because for this months theme was their one year of celebration here in the States!

The first item I noticed after opening the box was the Etre Belle Collagen & Aloe Vera Hydro Mask. This mask provides skin with intense moisture and it improves its elasticity. I've heard the wonders that Aloe Vera and Collagen have, so when I saw it I had to give it a go! It was absolutely amaazzzing. Put it on before I went to sleep and woke up with the most amazing skin ever. Very moisturizing and very hydrating. Only problem is that when I was looking to buy it, I could only order it if I lived in Europe :(
Full Size: $39.50 / 10 masks

There was a small sample size of the Epionce Intense Defense Anti-Aging + Repair Serum. Its a Anti-Aging serum that has multivitamins for the skin. It helps skin rejuvenation and prevent visible signs of aging. Has vitamins A, B, C, D and E. Claims to give you beautiful, radiant skin that functions at its best. Since its a really small sample, it will be hard to see results overtime but very excited to try it.
Full Size: $136.00 / 30mL

The Sebastian Professional Volupt Spray caught my attention soon after the mask. The Volupt Spray is a volume spray gel that provides the hair with volume and softness. Shake and apply on damp hair. You can blowdry for extra body or leave it to air dry to show off your waves or curls. It's freaking amazing. Pop this before blow drying your hair or on natural hair and this won't leave that sticky or hard like a regular gel would! I have fine hair and after using this, it gives my hair that extra oommf it needs for the day.
Full Size: $19.95 / 5.07 fl oz

I got two of the three samples they had for the European Wax Center. The body wash and the body lotion helps prevent ingrown hair after shaving and prevents those red bumps and blemishes. I'm definitely excited to try this out since its summer and legs are the main things to show! 
Full Size: $20.00 / 8 oz

 Swatched this on my hand and its really really pigmented! Xtreme Lashes GlideLiner Long Lasting Eye Pencil is kind of a mixture of an eye liner gel and an eye pencil. Looks like a pencil and dries an gel liner! States that its smudge-proof and lasts all day. I got the color Xpresso and I realized that you really didn't need much pressure to put this on. Its literally glides on your eyes making your eyelashes fuller
Full Size: $29.00 / .04 oz

The last item on the box was the Nicka K New York Absolute! perfume stick. The packaging is really nice and very eye catching. Smells absolutely amazing as well. Its perfect to carry around your purse. The scent is very subtle, like not all up in our face where your going to suffocate but also not like your not wearing any perfume at all. 
Full Size: $14.99 / .29 oz

That's it for this months Glossybox. Let me know what you guys think! You can subscibe to Glossybox on their website (www.glossybox.com) for $21 per month. They ship to Ireland, UK and US.

May Favorites!



This month has been quite a whirlwind; my skin has been acting up, I’ve been sick and its been so crapy outside that I just don’t feel like doing absolutely anything! I’ve kept everything minimal this month and just healthy and light.

For foundation, I went back to my first foundation that helped my skin Neutrogena SkinClearing Liquid foundation in Nude. First foundation ever used and first to not make my skin act up. Its not heavy at all and have an average coverage. I know its not the best one out there in the world but I just trust it since I’ve used it before.

Another product that I’ve been reaching out to is the NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Sponge Cake. Its a nude gloss with a little bit of pink and has shimmer. Perfect to use everyday. Its not sticky on the lips and it smells absolutely amazing! Never thought a lip gloss can smell and taste so good!

Hair product I’ve been using a little sample bottle of Beauty Protector Protect & Detangle that I got from May’s Birchbox. Its a small leave in conditioner, similar to the Its a 10! Miracle Leave in Product. I like it a lot because being in Florida, my hair gets really frizzy and knotty so I’ve been just praying this after towel drying my hair. What I love about it is that it doesn't leave my hair greasy or heavy and it smells like coconuts!

Lastly, I’ve been loving the Ponds Evening Sooth Wet Cleansing Towelettes. Its wipes that removes most, if not all, makeup that I’m wearing but is also very gentle. It makes cleansing much easier and quicker than before. It has Chamomile extract which helps sooth and calm any irritated skin or skin problems, so that’s a plus! 

Also, I decided to include this into this blog because I have been using it a lot and has help me so much. At the beginning of the month I decided to do a detox of my body because i was just not feeling the best and everything was irritating my skin and my stomach. I’ve been drinking about 2 tbsp of Aloe Tree Concentrate with a glass of water everytime I want water or anytime I’m eating with something for 3 days out of the week. Its a 16 fl oz bottle that you can choose from any brands on the supermarket and it works wonders. Firstly, Aloe plant helps heal any scars or bumps or injuries that the skin is involved in. It dries it and works like magic and helps prevent any scarring! But I’ve been drinking it and it has helped me not only with my skin and my stomach but my entire self being! I feel light and healthy and finally just comfortable again :) If you can, go to the nearest supermarket store and see if they have aloe water or aloe concentrate and give it a go. The taste is not THE best but you get used to it after a while. Let me just finish by saying that I’m no doctor to tell you what you need to take or not. But its something that has helped me and maybe this could help.

So there it is. those are all my May Favorites. I am still freaking shocked that may is over and we are in june. CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THE HELL TIME IS FLYING BY SO FREAKING FAST!?

Review: L'Oreal Studio Secrets Magic BB Cream

Retails at Target for $15.98
Going into Target is probably the worst place for my wallet. Ever. Snooping around the cosmetics department "just to look" (honestly, that just never happens) and this caught my attention. Its the L'Oreal Magic BB Cream in the color light. I've heard of other BB creams from other brands but what caught my attention was that there are only 4 shades. 
First Impression: when I applied some on my hand, I was a little confused because it came out white with purple little microbeads. As I kept on smoothing it out, it slowly started turning in to a light nude color and finally completely blended in with my skin. 
Pros: It does what it says; its a perfect consistency to use as a primer for combination skin types. Also helps corrects and adds a bit of glow to the face. If you don't have much problem with your skin, this is great to use alone on a daily basis; its very light and with time doesn't make the skin oily.
Cons: When I was applying it to my face, it does attach itself to dry patches around my hairline and around my temples. Also, when applying with bare hands, I really had to blended around any part of my face that had hair (mostly my eyebrows and hairline) because that is where it mostly stayed and was really noticeable. 
Overall: I really like this as a primer. Though it says it hydrates the skin, its better when I moisturize my skin and then use it. Its very lightweight and its easy to use. Its great if your on the go and in need of something quick or you just want a little bit more coverage without using so many products on your face. 

Hope you guys had a lovely weekend! :-)

April Favsss!


Late, I know but here it is My April Favorites! This month has been one hell of a trip; stressful, really exhausting and exciting. You guys might have known by my previous post, but exams were hard and stressful and really took a toll on my skin. So I've kept everything simple and light. 

This is probably my all time favourite scrub of all time. Its a sea salt scrub with mimosa that leaves my skin smooth like a baby's bottom. Its so to rough on my skin and actually helps sooth any discomfort on my skin. Also perfect to use before shaving!
I really like to pair this one with Rub Rub Rub because it helps moisturize the skin a bit more. Its smells like mandarin and slides on to the skin really easily. After pat drying my skin, I barely have to put on moisturizer because this literally does the job for me. 

This mascara is very different from any other ones I've own. First its a gel like texture that holds in place. It definitely gives my lashes volume and the is so easy to guide. Love it!
L'Oreal Infallible 24 Hr Eye Shadow
I made a post about this eyeshadow that I've fallen head over heels this month. Go check it out here!

Rimmel' Soft Kohl Eye Pencil in Brown
Its a really soft eye pencil that does not bother my eyes. Its really pigmented and its really easy to smug it on the eyes. Since its pigmented, it may be a little difficult to remove with just water and a cloth.
Covergirl LipPerfection Lipsticks
When I bought this, I was really surprised that the color that it shows at the bottom was not the real color that displayed on my lips. Though I was unsure, I just ended up liking it even more and its perfect for the spring time. It moisturizes and it stays on for a good couple of hours before you actually has to reapply more.

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation
I absolutely love this foundation for daytime. Its similar to a BB cream but it glides on smoothly. Surprisingly they have a variation of shades and it was really easy to find the right one for me. Very sheer but perfect for an everyday foundation.

So there you have it, my April Favorites! I am still in shock that April is over and we're already in May.  See ya later alligators ;)

L'Oreal Infallible 24 HR Eye Shadow



Hey guys!
I want to start off by saying that I've been AWOL due to so much studying for finals but SCHOOL IS FINALLY OVER! :-)

Anyways, since school has taken over my life for the past couple of days, I haven't really put on much makeup (I just didn’t have the time to) but I have used been using the L’Oreal Infallible 24 HR Eye Shadow in “Amber Rush”. 



 
I had this for quite some time now and for some reason it didn't catch my eyes now and I cannot stop using it! Its a shimmery pinkish amber creamy color that does not crease at all and that it can either be worn by itself or it can become the base to the eye makeup. 

I've been using it alot lately because its also a nice spring color. Just dab a little on my eyes with my finger and blend it across my lid with a blending brush. It looks really natural and just enough color to my face. What i also like about it that it complements my skin. I have lightish tan skin and light brown eyes and this product makes them pop more. 

Blush: Maybelline Fit Me Blush in "Deep Rose"
Foundation: Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation in shade "150 Nude"
Mascara: Clinique High Impact Mascara
Overall its a good eyeshadow to keep; can either be used in the day time or evening. Its roughly about $8 and can be bought at any drug store or supermarket store.

Do you like L'Oreal? What other products should I try from their brand? Comment below and hope you guys have a lovely day!
