Review: Kardashian En-Joystick Lip Lacquers.

It has been way too long...and I am back with some new goodies from the Kardashian's Beauty line. This winter has been horrible and my lips have been suffering the consequence. 

 I am in LOVE with their lipstick in a stick form, not only are they moisturizing, but they have a matte finish. Can you say perfect for this tundra weather? 

Keep reading for an in depth review on four of the shades I picked up from Ulta and Duade Reade. 

How to Style: Unisex Tees

I personal love unisex tees just because they can be styled so diversely. You can change a graphic tee from a day to night look with adjusting some of your favorite stable pieces!

Todays post features one of my favorite graphic tee from A.Marie Clothing 

Amanda is the CEO of A.Marie clothing which offers amazing styles for men and women. The material is super comfortable and light weight. Definitely check out the site for more styles and info. Here are some of the featured looks from her clothing line A.Marie Clothing.

BECCA Cosmetics.

I was intrigued by Becca Cosmetics after seeing these products featured on various blogs and motd. Since it is summertime the water-resistant color beach tint in Peach grabbed my attention along side the pressed bronzing powder in Salsa.
The bronzer is a very nice brown/golden color but I will be using it in the winter time since I am pretty tan now. The beach tint in Peach can be used for the cheeks and lips making it a versatile product during these hot summer months. 

Dupe for Mac's Whisper of Gilt MSF?

Thanks to my beautiful friend Jasmine I have found a pretty close dupe for the beloved limited edition M.A.C.'s Whisper of Gilt MSF. First released with M.A.C.'s highly anticipated Extra Dimension collection and then repromoted later on. M.A.C describes this shade as  “light soft white gold with shimmery sheen." The closest drugstore dupe I have found is Physician's Formula Shimmer Strip in Vegas Strip.

The Makeup Show NYC 2013

I feel dreadful for being absent from the blogging world for so long but school really kicked my ass this semester. I will be blogging more frequently this summer so stay tuned :)
I attended the Makeup Show this year with my sister and friends, we had an amazing time! It was extremely crowded compared from last year but the discounts were all the same.
There are some pictures I wanted to share with you all. I hope you enjoy them xo

The Balm Cosmetics.

When I found out The Balm Cosmetics was going be on sale on HauteLook 

I was stalking the site for these two products. I've heard the Balm can be found at TJ Maxx but unfortunately every time I go the products are destroyed :/ The Balm's packaging is so pleasing to the eyes, with their pin up looks and retro flare it's hard for any girl to resist, especially this one :) I just ordered two products since I'm going on a no buy soon. 

Archie's Girls.

Hey girls !
I'm sorry for slacking on the blogging but I wanted to share with you all the products I got from M.A.C's latest collection!
I'm sure you've seen all the products and swatches of them so I decided to show ya'll the packaging!
I am in love with the packaging! The lipstick compact feels like it's better quality then the regular.
I picked up two lipsticks: Betty Bright & Ronnie Red.
Both are matte, long lasting and highly pigmented! You cant go wrong with these girls!
I was gonna pick up Prom Princess blush but I didn't like how it swatched on me, but I'm very content with Cream Soda. I'm an NC42 and this blush does show up on my skin which I was really happy about :)


What did you pick up from the collection? xo Catalina

Jessica Alba: Street Style

Jessica Alba's street style can be described as comfortable, chic, and effortless. I decided to recreate this look due to its versatility. For a night look you can add a statement necklace, put your hair in a bun, and add some dark lipstick. I love the chunky heels with the red laces tied around them! I have seen this trend starting up in various magazines. I do not know the designers or labels she is wearing, but the items seen here are currently available online, and in stores. 

Favorite Fall Blushes.

It's that time of year and my fall blushes are coming out to play ;)
These are my top five favorite fall blushes. I tend to wear these blushes mostly during fall and winter since they look amazing on those chilly days when you want a pop of color to 
warm up your face. 

Sephora Haul.

So I couldn't resist the Sephora Friends and Family Sale. I did try to limit my spending but makeup will always have my <3

Here is just a short video on what I purchased.

I hope you like it!

What did you pick up during Sephora's F&F sale? xo Catalina

Top Fall Nail Lacquers.

Happy Autumn! 

I want to share with you all my top picks of colors to rock this fall.

Fall nail art that encompasses glitter are on trend currently.

These are just some inspirational colors that I think would suit many different skin tones.

Metallics are definitely in this fall, but a down side for me is they weaken my nails so I dont purchase them as much.

Elizabeth Arden: Rose Illumination Highlighter.

Hello! I have been absent from the blogging world but I will be featuring new fall post including makeup storage, hauls, fall nail polish trends, etc. So please stay tuned!!

On another note I did a review on this fabulous product if you wanna learn more please check out Kimber Stefani website. Thank you so much and here is a little preview of the post xoxo

M.A.C By Request: Candy Yum-Yum Lipstick.

Back to Fall: Fashion Edition.

I've grown quite tired of summer already, but I'm not looking forward to school. What I am looking forward to are the fall trends!
I will share with you all fall trends/looks that never go out of style. I have continuously seen them magazines and etc. These trends give you that effortless chic look.  

*All of the following items were purchased from Forever21

How To:Summer Glow.

I want to share with you all some products that aid in achieving a healthy glow during the summer.
Summer is the perfect time to bring out those shimmery products!
Here are some products that really help bring out that healthy glow when your skin is tan.
For reference I am an NC44 during the summer and all of these products compliment my skin tone perfectly.

OOTD: Summertime Sadness

I hope everyone is having a safe and amazing summer!

I was fortunate enough to go on holiday in the Iberian Peninsula and visited other countries along the way.

I had a fabulous time with my family...I couldn't have asked for more.

I wanted to share one of my favorite outfits from my trip.

These pictures were taken in Malaga, Spain.

I was going to wear a tank top under but it was extremely hot, so I opted for a plain old black bra.

With only wearing the bra under neither, the pattern of the shirt really popped which I loved!

The shirt is a see through chiffon material. I love the pattern that runs all along it. What drew me to the shirt was the cascading affect in the back.

I wanted to give the outfit a pop of color, since the top half was composed of dark shades, so I went with cuffed pink shorts.

The bag was bought in Spain and I had to have it since it reminded me of a Chanel bag I've seen in NYC about a 1,000 times. lol

It is a round bag with a quilt design. The zippers are two tassels which cut the bag in half. The original Chanel bag has just one tassel, I believe.

TheBalm Cosmetics.

I've had my eye on these two products for some time now.
I patiently waited for a sale on HauteLook since none of the TJ Maxx or Marshalls by me carried TheBalm.
TheBalm is known for their vintage, ultra cute packaging and products.
They are carried in Sephora and are priced  high end.
I definitely want to pick up other products from the line such as Hot Mama! blush and some Lady Shady eye shadow palettes.
For now I am very content with these two fabulous products :)

FOTD: Jennifer Lopez Edition.

In Hollywood, Jennifer Lopez is known as a triple threat. 

I personally love her flawless makeup and her style.

She is absolutely stunning and has a certain glow to her that I envy!!

She seems very sweet and down to earth as well <3

I have been dying to recreate this look for some time now.

It is not exactly the same because I used darker colors, but I was truly inspired by her makeup in the "Ain't It Funny" video. 

This is my personal interpretation of the look from that video I hope ya'll enjoy it <3  

Makeup Haul.

It has been two weeks since the Makeup Show and I have used all of the products I've purchased since than.

I am in love with everything and I will be going in depth with each product.

I can verify that all the hype about The Beauty Blender is true! I have been using it non stop for all my foundations. I would highly suggest waiting for a sale. I picked up two for $21 which I believe is the original price for one. 

The Eyelashes were 7 for $10! I selected full and wispy ones :)

Disclaimer* I did purchase all of the products with my own money.

For reference I am a NC 42-43 in M.A.C 

The Makeup Show NYC 2012

The Makeup Show took place May 13- 14 2012 in NYC.
For more info on which cities it is held and etc click on the link :) The Makeup Show
I went with my sister and we had a blast! 
It was Mother's Day so we arrived around 1ish and luckily everything we wanted was not sold out.

• M.A.C Pro was there and they had 20% off. Applications for the Pro card were being given there as well. Their system was organized considering it was crowded.
• NARS had 30% off and of course I went a little cray cray! The sales people were so nice I was chi chatting it up as I waited on line with my product sheet.
• MUFE had so much of their merchandise for 40% off! They had a great system, you waited in line but each person filled out a paper of the products you wanted and a sales person would go around collecting it. With in no time you were paying for your products :)
• Inglot was there and the prices are in one of the pictures I took. 

So many different companies were there and a variety of classes were being offered as well. 
I had a fabulous time. I do regret not purchasing some products but there's always next year <3
