Products I Regret Buying

If you've guys have noticed, the last few days including today, I have been getting 2-3 blog posts up. And that is because I just feel like doing so, or else I will get carried away again like last time to not put any posts up. Anyhow, this post will be about beauty products that I regret buying. I don't have that many, because I am very cautious on what I buy. I do a lot of research on the products if not a person that I really trust recommend me the products like my friends, family and YouTube beauty and makeup gurus.

1.) MAC "Myth" Lipstick- I have never loved this lipstick, but seriously every single guru that I watch all rave about this lipstick. I don't think that it deserves the hype it does received. I am very light skin and I first thought that it would suit me since one because of my complexion and second my favorite gurus rave about it. But seriously, it makes me look dead and it goes on very chalky no matter how smooth my lips are. I sometime will try my best to use it, since I've already waste $15 on it.

2.) MAC "Mystery"  Eyeshadow- My older sister Samantha love this eyeshadow and I thought that I would love it too since she uses it seriously every single day. And when I swatched her shadow on my finger it looks fabulous, so I drove to the MAC store and bought it for myself thinking that I was loving it. And I mean it looks great on Samantha, but it looks so blotchy and, messy when I put it on my own eyes.

3.) Aveeno Positively Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30- I truly hate this product, because it absolutely give me no coverage at all. And it feels very heavy on my skin, which a tinted moisturizer wasn't suppose to do. And I've tried it twice the end of last year and I've never touched it again.

4.)  YES to Cucumbers Cleansing Wipes- Gurus that I watch love the Yes to... line from the drugstore and many of them like the YES to Cucumbers makeup wipes. So I decided that it was going to be my holy grail makeup wipes, but sadly it disappointed me. I seriously love my typical Neutrogena wipes a lot better.

5.) Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner- Many gurus that I watched and actually even one of my best friend love Organix brand shampoos and conditioners. That is why I decided that I was going to hit the drugstore and pick up a pair of their shampoo and conditioner. And I would say that this is the worst shampoo and conditioner I've ever tried. It made my hair very crunchy and I've noticed that it also made my hair falls off more than usual. After I've been using it for about a week or two I saw the bad results and stay away from it, but I've kept it under my bed so that I could do this post for you guys.

My products that I have regretted buying is over. And I am sure there are more products that needs to be in this post, but I just cannot think of it right now.

Makeup That Suits ALL Skin Tone

Hey everyone! So today's post is inspired by InStyle magazine that was from months ago. I was reading it the other day of their beauty section and they had an article on the best makeup for all skin tones, cheeks and eyes. Basically what they had was different colors that would suits a variety of skin tones that would cover from the palest to the darkest complexions. So I decided to do a post on it and a lot of the products that they mentioned I had. I thought that it would be cool, because some of you guys might have the same products and you can see how it will work on your specific skin tone. I'm going to go into lipsticks, cheeks and than eyes and I added three lipglosses and two bronzers that might interests you.

Lipsticks:

1.) Maybelline Color Sensational " Warm Me Up"- Rosy Nude Color
2.) Revlon Superlustrous "Cherries in the Snow"- Bright Reddish Pink Color
3.) Chanel "Mademoiselle"- Neutral Rosy Tone Color
4.) Guerlain "161"(i think it's called Cherry Blossom)- Pinky Color
5.) Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters "Candy Apple"- Perfect Red Color
6.) NARS "Dolce Vita"- Dusty Rose Color

Lipglosses:

1.) Burberry "Cameo Pink"- Good all around lipgloss.
2.) Le Metier De Beaute "Summerland"- Gorgeous Bronze Peachy Color
3.) Chanel "#11"(can't remember the name)- Goes really well with peach or pink lipstick.

Cheeks:

1.) Covergirl Cheeker "Rose Silk"- Pretty Corally Orgasm(NARS) Color
2.) NARS "Orgasm" Illuminator- Universal coral color
3.) NARS "Penny Lane"- BEST Cream Blush ever, my favorite blush
4.) Illamasqua "Ambition Shimmer"- Neutral Pinky Peach Shade

Bronzers:

1.) Edward Bess "Ultra Luminous"
2.) Chanel "Poudre Universelle Compact"

That is the end to my "makeup that suits all skin tones" suggestions.

My Favorite Drugstore BB Cream Routine

Summer is here in less than a month, so this post is going to be very helpful and exciting for both me and you guys. In this post I will be presenting my ALL TIME FAVORITE foundation(bb cream) routine for my face. It is light weight compare to a real foundation routine. I will be using all and by all I mean "all" drugstore products, from brushes to concealers. I love this routine, because since it's Spring it's very suitable, but when it's starting to get chilly again I can build it up; since I don't have to worry about the makeup meltdown. I also love this routine when I go traveling, because I don't have to worry about the products getting lost or breaking since it's not that expensive.

Steps:

1.) I first start off by moisturizing my skin with my current favorite moisturizer, and it is the Olay Complete All Day UV Moisturizer Combination/Oily SPF 15. I know that I used to rave about the one by Clean & Clear, but I honestly love Olay moisturizers and products a lot more. And since my mom love Olay, I decided to go back to it again. I would recommend this moisturizer and to be specific, Olay to anyone that is interested. Although, the bb cream I am going to use has both SPF and moisturizing properties in it, I still like to use a separate moisturizer. I don't think that the moisturizer in any BB cream works as justice as a real actual moisturizer.

2.) However, a BB Cream does cut a step for me and that is priming. A BB Cream is many products in one, it's design to be a moisturizer, primer and foundation and I think that the primer part of it works wonders. So I do not prime my face whenever I am using a BB Cream. The BB Cream I am using is the Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream. I squirt out two dime size of the product and put two dots on each sections of my face and put whatever is left to my neck and my ears. I then just use the warmth of my finger to blend the bb cream into my skin.

3.) My favorite concealers are by Maybelline and Revlon. But my favorite for Spring to perfect my blemishes is the Revlon Colorstay Concealer. It is lighter than the ones that I like from Maybelline, so it's very appropriate for Summer and for any season overall. I put it on the back of my hand and use my finger to place it on any imperfections and blend it in real well by using my fingers to tap it in.

4.) For under my eyes I like to use a separate concealer and my current favorite is the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer. I basically, just twist the product up and apply it in a triangle shape under my eyes. Doing this will counteract the dark circles and make my under eyes areas glow a whole lot more. And I just use my ring fingers to blend the concealer in.

5.) I don't have a favorite setting powder. So I basically, just use any drugstore setting powder that is translucent since it's summer and that I like with a big fluffy powder brush from Essence of Beauty.

6.) The last step of course for my drugstore BB Cream routine is to set my face with the ELF Set & Mist Spray. It is I think $3-$5 at Target.

* I don't have a favorite routine for my eyebrows, which I know should be in this post. But if it's not my favorite I don't want to talk about it. Although my favorite eyebrows routine is using the Anastasia Beverly Hills products. But that of course is not drugstore, you can get it at Sephora tho.

And to pump up the intensity of the coverage, I suggest to use more of the concealer and pack on more setting powder. If you do it correctly, it will not look cakey and plus with the help of the ELF spray, it will definitely not look cakey. I suggest to go in with a flat top kabuki brush after spraying your face to help ease the cakeyness if your face does cake up.

That is the end to my Favorite Drugstore BB Cream Routine.

How To: Wear Bright Eyeliners

I've been longing to do this specific post months ago, but I just haven't found the right time to do it. Since Spring is already here and the Summer season is about to arrive, I decided that it is very appropriate to do so.

Base:
You can the eyeliner as a base for your eyeshadows. The eyeliner will make the eyeshadow(s) more vibrate and stick more to your eyes. I suggest a pencil eyeliner.

Winged:
Another great way that is more tone down to use it as a liner on your upper lash line and wing it out. I suggest any kind of eyeliner from pencil to cream and liquid.

Waterline:
Putting the liner on your waterline is the most tone down, because it will give a settle pop of color to your eye look. So you'll look awake and it will open up your eyes a lot. I suggest a pencil liner for sensitive eyes and if not I suggest a gel or cream liner, because they are more vibrant and last a lot longer.

Lower Lash Line:
The last great way I can think of is to line it on your lower lash line and set it with a settle color. I suggest a pencil liner for this look.

WARNING!!!
Stay away from PINK eyeliner, especially bright and neon pink. It will just make you look asleep and like you have a red eye.

TAG: 5 Things I Want In A Guy

Hi my fellow beauties lovers! Today's post has nothing to do with beauty, makeup or fashion at all. Although, I thought it would be a fun idea to do a tag that is something rather than beauty related. I'm not sure if anyone has made or done this tag before, but as of I know, I am the first one to do it. So I guess I am creating this tag, and I am tagging everyone that wants to do it.

Basically what this tag is going to be about is what "my dream guy" is, by going through a series of 5 questions.

1.) What level of education?

A: At least graduate from a college or a university with a diploma. I am an incoming sophomore in college.

2.) How old compare to your age?

A: I prefer guys that are older than me, but if he's late by a few months or a year that's fine.

3.) Family background?

A: Make sure his family doesn't run any hereditary diseases.

4.) Body Image?

A: Taller than me when I have at a 4 inch heel on. I am 5'10. So I prefer a really tall guy probably around 6'1 to 6'5.

5.) Personalities?

A: Funny guy on the inside and has no bad intentions on anyone.

This is my version of the "5 Things I Want In A Guy" tag. Hopefully, this tag will be spread out web-wide. I TAG everyone!
