Milani Face Powder

Double duty! This face powder can be used as a face powder or bronzer!

 Hello there, long time no see! This post is a review of the Milani Face Powder. Milani has little by little become one of my favorite drugstore brands. Their concealer is my favorite for full coverage! So it was no surprise to me when I instantly fell head over heels for this face powder. ( I bought 06 Medium Tan)

Hola, ¡Mucho tiempo que no nos vemos! Este post es sobre el Polvo De Cara marca Milani. Milani poco a poquito se ha convertido en unas de mis marcas favoritas de maquillaje. ¡Su corrector es un de mis favoritos para una cobertura completa! Entonces, no me sorprendí cuando me enamoré de inmediato con este polvo. (Compre 06 Medium Tan)

3 Winter Coats To Try!


Winter Coats Wish List!





Hello everybody! Today’s post is all about winter coats. Like with lipstick, I get in a coat rut every winter, sticking to one coat for days. To offset this, I decided to play around on Polyvore and look for more winter coats to try. Here are three of my favorites for this winter season! Each one has a unique feeling to it and can be worn dressed up or down.

Hola! Hoy les traigo un post sobre abrigos para el invierno. Como con pintalabios, siempre uso solo un abrigo por días sin parar. Para cambiar esta costumbre, decidí ir en Polyvore y buscar más abrigos que pueda usar este invierno. ¡Aqui les tengo mis tres favoritos para esta temporada! Cada uno tiene su propia cosa que los hace único y pueden ser usados para una ocasión festiva o dia regular.

Halloween in California | A sneaky post!


The skeleton garland I picked out ended up looking better than I expected!

Happy early halloween! I know I usually  post on Friday, but I couldn’t resist uploading this post early! Once in a Halloween, my sisters and I get really, REALLY, into decorating. Well, this was one of them years. Just a few days before Halloween (oct. 26) we, cough, I kept insisting we get started decorating. What can I say? I guess I was bitten by the halloween bug. And after insisting and insisting my sisters finally agreed to help me decorate. They even ended up enjoying it!

¡Feliz halloween temprano! Se que usualmente hago post los viernes, ¡pero no pude resistir poner este post temprano! En algunos Halloweens, mis hermanas y yo nos emocionamos MUCHO en decora. Bueno, estos era unos de estos años. Solo unos días antes de Halloween (oct. 26) nosotros, o mejor dicho yo, insistí que empezaramos a decorar. ¿Que puedo decir? Supongo que estaba entusiasmada por halloween. Y después de insistir y insistir les ha mis hermanas, finalmente se convinieron a ayudar me. ¡Al final, haste les gusto!

Get Ready With Me | My Sister's Sweet 16, Quinceañera!




Hello everyone!! I’m really excited to be able to FINALLY, share this video and post with you! This video has been almost a whole month in the making, and I’m not joking… at all.

¡¡Hola!! ¡Estoy muy emocionada de finalmente poder compartir este video y post con ustedes! Este video ha durado casi todo un mes para editar, y no estoy exagerando… YouTube tomo muchas semanas para subirlo y tuve que tratar un montón de veces. Pero ya me queje mucho. Ahora les voy a mostrar como me arregle para la ¡Sweet 16, Quinceañera de mi hermana!

My Sister's Sweet 16, Quinceañera style!


September 6th was my sister Amie’s Sweet 16! Although it was her Sweet 16, we celebrated it as a Quinceañera. A Quinceañera is a coming of age party thrown when a girl turns 15 and is celebrated in many latin american cultures. If you would like to learn more about this tradition click here. (I already wrote a more indepth post a while back)

    The whole celebration was wonderful, from the religious ceremony to the celebration afterwards. We had wanted to throw my sister a big Quinceanera last year when she turned 15 but did not have the means. That is why this year she got a Quince/Sweet 16 because she turned 16… LOL.

My Furry Friends!


Instagram Pic

Hello everyone! Today I have a slightly different post. I know my blog title says Makeup, Lifestyle y Mas, but I rarely post anything lifestyle related… So to end this irony I decided to write a somewhat more personal post then my usual reviews. Here I bring to you! Dun, Dun, Dun! Instagram and non instagram photos of my pets to go along with my Furry Friend Tag! video on YouTube.

Yes, I have a lot of pets… Some have been know to call our house a farm! Can you believe that? Lol. Okay, I can kinda, kinda see why. Yet, even though it can get hectic having so many pets to keep track of with feeding, medication, showers to name a few, I love having so many around. I always have someone to cuddle with when I’m feeling down. And my favorite thing about having so many pets? You get to see just how different they can be from each other! I love seeing their personalities and it makes me realize how alike they are to humans. Each one is it’s own unique individual.

African Black Soap!



Yes, you read it right! This soap is black, and it is perfect for acne prone skin. I learned of this product through my lil’ sis, so I have to give her credit for this discovery. Thank you Emily! Ever since, about a year ago, I have included this in my skin regimen. I have noticed great improvement and no major acne breakouts. Yup, no big acne breakouts for almost two years now! I use this soap to wash my face in the morning and at night. You can purchase this soap at Target or on amazon, but it is more expensive on amazon.

___________________________________________________

    ¡Si, lo leistes correctamente! Este jabón es negro y perfecto para la piel que tiene acné. Aprendí sobre este producto gracias a mi hermanita chiquita, y le tengo que darle crédito por descubrir lo. ¡Gracias Emily! Desde entonces, como por un año,  lo he incluido en mi régimen de piel. He notado gran mejoramiento y menos acné en la piel. ¡Si! no he tenido acné terrible por dos años. Uso este jabón para lavar mi cara en la mañana y en la noche. Puedes comprar este jabón en Target o en amazon, pero cuesta más en amazon.

Rimmel Lipsticks | Fancy & Pink Chic



Yes, I still have these lyrics stuck in my head! I can’t get over this song, I think it will be the song that will for now and forever reminded of the summer of 2014. I promise this has to do with Rimmel lipsticks!
    Even though it is still summer, it feels over to me, I guess because everyone is heading back to school. All the vacations are over, and we’re all returning to the daily grind. It seems I have an early case of summer ending nostalgia… So off course when passing by the makeup aisle I decided to buy some summer lipsticks! I was so excited to buy these because they were half off, I got both for $3.99 each! BUYA!
    I bought two Rimmel lipsticks, Fancy and Pink Chic. Can you guess why I bought Fancy? Well it wasn’t just for the name okay! I really like both colors for summer and wanted to experiment with pink lipsticks because I mostly buy purple colored ones more.


¡Si, todavía tengo las letras de la canción en mi cabeza! No puedo aburrirme de esta canción, creo que será la canción que por ahora y siempre me recuerde del verano 2014. ¡Te prometo que esto tiene algo que ver con los pinta labios de Rimmel!
Aunque todavía es el verano, para me se siente como si ya se acabo, porque todos han regresado a la escuela. Todos los vacaciones se han acabado y estamos regresando a los días de trabajo. Aparece que he agarrando nostalgia prematura, del fin de verano… Entonces, por supuesto, cuando pase por el pasillo de maquillaje decidí comprar pinta labios para lucir en el verano! Estuve muy emocionada para comprar estos dos porque estaban a venta, solo pague la mitad del precio, $3.99 por cada uno! AHA!
    Compre dos pinta labios de Rimmel, Fancy y Pink Chic. ¿Puedes adivinar porque compre Fancy? Bueno, ¡no fue solamente por el nombre! Me gustaron mucho los dos colores para lucir en el verano y quería experimentar con colores rositas, ya que siempre compro colores más morados.

DIY: Quinceanera & Sweet 16 Photography

One of the photos I took of my sister for her invitations, my personal favorite though she choose another. / Este es uno de los fotos que le tome a mi hermana para sus invitaciones, personalmente mi favorito pero ella escogió otro.



After a deafening silence on my blog, I am here by going to blog regularly!! (or at least to try to agian, lol. It’s hard to get back into the rhythm sometimes.)

Today I bring you tips for Quinceañera or Sweet Sixteen DIY photography!!

         But first...
   
What is a quinceañera? Like a sweet sixteen a quinceañera is a coming of age party. However, a quinceañera is celebrated in latin american countries or by people with a latin heritage when a girl turns 15. It also seems to be a greater occasion than a sweet sixteen. I say this because for a quinceañera, unlike a sweet sixteen, a hall or other type of venue is rented, their will be live music, dj and even a church ceremony. Nonetheless, every country has its own unique way of celebrating a quince. The quinceañera I’m describing is of Mexican/Mexican American tradition.  

There is technically no “Quinceañera” season per se, like a wedding season. (at least that I know of…) This is because a quinceañera is given to a girl when she turns 15. She will usually have a court of “damas” and “caballeros.” Girls and boys her own age who will accompany her on her big day. They will usually do a waltz with her and more recently even a second surprise dance. The surprise dance can be of any type of music!

My Room Decor! / Las decoraciónes de mi cuarto!


Hello! Rooms are one of the most personal of spaces. It’s like decorating a locker in high school except ten times better. Yet for some reason… I wasn’t very into decorating my room until three years ago and even then I wasn’t sure where to start! I’m a newbie at this… But here is what I have so far! I hope you enjoy these pics and get some inspiration! :D

Rimmel Scandaleyes! Review/ Look

003 Bad Girl Bronze & 002 Bulletproof Beige


Hi! Today I have yet another wonderful product to share with you! Perhaps you have tried them already, I feel like I’m late on the bandwagon, hahaha. Well, I’m talking about the Rimmel Scandaleyes, they are amazing drugstore eyeshadow pencils! I would go as far as to compare their quality to that of department stores, like Urban Decay!


¡Hola! Hoy les tengo otro producto maravilloso para compartir con ustedes. A la mejor ya los han tratado, creo que ya todos han descubierto este producto, jajaja. Estoy hablando de los Rimmel Scandaleyes, ¡son lápices de sombras increibles! Hasta fuera tan lejos como para decir que son de la misma calidad que los de las marcas más caras como Urban Decay.

Milani Secret Cover Concealer Stick!




Review & Demo:


Hi everyone! I HAD to make a post about this amazing product because it has become more than just my makeup staple but a holy grail product. I usually try out different products even when I already have a favorite but I can’t see that happening with concealers ever again! I highly recommend this product, especially if you have dark spots/hyperpigmentation like I do.


Hola! Tenía que escribir un post sobre este producto extraordinario porque se ha convertido en más que mi favorito corrector pero un producto “holy grail.” Usualmente me gusta tratar diferentes products aun cuando ya tengo un favorito, pero no puedo ver esto pasando nunca más con correctores! Recomiendo este producto con todo mi corazón! Especialmente si tienen manchas en la cara como yo.

Journal Tips & Things… Cosas de diarios...





Hi everyone! This post is about my love for writing but more specifically journaling. I have had a journal in some form or another off and on since 3rd or 4th grade. What’s so great about journaling is you can get everything out of your system whether it’s happiness fluttering through you or anger raging in your blood. Either way, I always feel more at peace with myself even if I haven’t come to a solution to a problem or answer to a question. It’s a way of relaxation and reflection. Dare I say meditation?


¡Hola! Este post es sobre mi amor de escribir y más específicamente de escribir en mi diario. Yo he tenido un diario en una forma o otra desde el 3 or 4 grado. Lo maravilloso de tener un diario es que puedes sacar todo de tu sistema, ya sea felicidad como las mariposas en el estomago o rabia en la sangre. De cualquier manera siempre me ha ayudado a estar en paz conmigo misma, aun cuando no llego a una resolución a un problem o con una respuesta a una pregunta. Es una manera de relajo y reflexión. ¿Hasta de meditación?

2013 Recap?

I was recently reading one of my favorite blogs, Sprinkle of Glitter, when I got super inspired to do a similar post. On it, Louis did a recap of 2013 and I thought, “What a great post! I would really like to do that too!” But as I tried to remember the happenings throughout 2013, I couldn’t remember a thing! Where did 2013 go? Literally! I can’t remember anything from January or May… or most months. So here I go, trying to put together a year I can’t remember through my journal and social media.


Recientemente estaba leyendo uno de mis blogs favoritos, Sprinkle of Glitter, y me inspire mucho para escribir un post similar. En su post, Louis hizo un resumen de 2013 y pensé, “¡Que post tan maravilloso! ¡Me gustaría escribir uno semejante!” Pero cuando trate de recordar lo que pasó en 2013, ¡no podía recordar ninguna cosa! ¡Donde se se fue 2013! ¡Literalmente! No puedo recordar ninguna cosa de enero o mayo… o casi todo los meses. Entonces, voy a empezar a tratar de recordar el ano que no recuerdo con mi diario y los medios sociales.

ME! :D
