Apples!

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” a phrase my Dad use to tell me when I was a kid and come to think of it I never really understood why a simple apple can do that, until I finally did my research. So if your game let me share with you its nutritional benefits so you can consider incorporating an apple (a day) in your diet.

Mac Eye Shadow Haul

Alright, alright I may have gone a little overboard building my make up collection but I figured if I'm going to do this then I have to commit myself completely (wink, wink) so I went ahead and bought thirteen (yup, 13) Mac eye shadow, technically 20 but I'm still waiting for the others to come in the mail. The colors I picked are Black Tied, Carbon, Brule, Sumptuous Olive, Omega, Satin Taupe, Smut, Electra, Electric Eel, Fresh Water, Deep Truth, Moon’s Reflection, Contrast and Gesso. All gorgeous color and very pigmented so you don’t really need to use a lot. Yeah, yeah you can I say I was a bit carried away but in my defense (hmmm this is a tough one) fine! No defense except this made me very happy. Well I am off to try blending different colors, now if I can only figure out how to convince my boyfriend to be my eye model (hahaha, fat chance I know). Till next time…end your day with a smile.

Sephora Visit

The same day I went to Mac I also stopped by Sephora. They carry the face primer that I like which is the Smash Box Photo Finish and I also picked up Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide-On eye pencil in bourbon (already have zero & lust). I have over 600 bonus points so I was able to score this Tarte insider collection for 500 points. It has mini goodies like face & eye primer, different types of mascara and lip gloss. This gal is a happy camper :)

Mac Cosmetics Haul

My First Make Up Acquisition.

Bare Escentuals Buxom Lip Gloss

This is my new addiction! This is by far the best lip gloss I have ever used. It makes my lips look naturally fuller and very voluptuous (how ridiculously awesome is that). I have used and tried different ones and I always found something I didn’t like about it…not this one. This product gives me a great shine, no sticky feeling (hate that) and it gives my lips a cooling sensation (love it). The infusion of vitamin A and E doesn’t hurt too. It does keep my lips softer, smoother and it even feels like its moisturizing my lips as well :) So if you happen to be looking for a new lip gloss you can try checking out this product.

My favorite is Destiny…

Clarisonic Plus

Late night TV has the immense power of persuasion, and this I experienced first hand last year. Late one night when I was flipping through channels I happened to stop at the QVC channel, suddenly I found myself being mesmerized about this product, and by the end of the segment I was hooked. I was literally salivating about the idea of trying one out to see if the hype is true, until I saw the price tag – a whopping $225. Don’t get me wrong I have known about Clarisonic since it first came out, but I am one of those women who don’t pay too much attention to new products unless I read a lot of reviews from women who have tried it. Reviews are a great way to see if you can be leaning toward trying the product, or it can affirm the fact (that you were already thinking) that the product will not work for you. With that said, I was now faced with the dilemma whether to buy or not. Luckily Christmas was on the horizon, needless to say I was dropping hints to family members what I wanted for Christmas (one way for it to be a guilt free purchase, I’m bad I know). I was more than ecstatic to find it under the Christmas tree and after opening the box the love story began…
