How to.. Sultry eyemakeup

Who doesn't love a sultry and sexy makeup look?

Here are a few steps on how to achieve this look!
The products I used are Revlon photo-ready eye shadow palette in graffiti and tarte bon voyage palette.




We start of with a fresh clean base, I applied my Urban decay primer and then applied the gold copper shadow on my lid from inner to outer corner.


After that I applied a transition shade. What is a transition shade you might ask? A transition shade is a soft brown color, which is applied to the crease and when you apply the darker shade it wont look as harsh.
Blend, blend, blend!!


  Now I applied a Deep plum shade, on the tarte bon voyage palette, the shade on the upper right corner. On my outer corner in a sideways v shape, I went along the lid and up and over the crease
Now start blending in little circles and just blend, blend, blend!!! To the inner and outer corners of your eye, Make sure you don't apply to much eye-shadow before blending otherwise you will struggle with blending. Remember, its better to start of  with less color and build up then apply to much and struggle with your eyes. It is easier to build up, less is more sometimes.
You can see how the deep plum shade blends into the transition shade very effortlessly,  giving it a softer look.

Now apply the same exact color on your lashes towards the center. Make sure to blend it out creating a soft and smokey effect underneath your eyes. 


Pretty simple right? I lined my eyes with Nars "Longer  Then Life Eyeliner". I decided to go with a wing liner then lining my water line. Then taking my MAC "Shroom" and adding to my brow bone.
After you have applied your eyeliner, apply some mascara on your top and bottom lashes. 
Then I added some false lashes from Ardell. i forgot the style number name.


I decided to blend out the edge of the wing for a little bit of depth and not having so much harshness for this look.
After you are finshed apply your foundation and under eye concealer and clean up under your eye if you have fall out. blend in the under eye concealer with the color on bottom of your eye.
And the eye look is complete. I finished it off with some Dior Blush in 763 Corail and  Nude toned Gloss from Revlon in the color Bellini.

Milani Lipstick Review


Milani is a well known company and has been out for more then a decade, or since I can remember. This lipstick I am reviewing for you guys has been the latest craze and it is highly reviewed by a lot of people. I purchased it in my local Walgreens for $3.79. This lipstick is Cabaret Blend, a cool toned red lipstick, when in taken a photo with flash you can see it really looks a lot different then when it is in natural lighting..When you first open up the lipstick you can smell a sugary candy sent. Which kind of reminds me of the 99 cent lipsticks I used to purchase as a child. The color is gorgeous but I didn't like it when I applied it was very patchy.....One little problem! It bleeds! ah I know, for such an amazing price you think you were getting a great steal but not really. Here is a picture.  Unless I put lip liner on it does bleed threw the crack into my face! It leaves a stain for quite a while which is great if you dont want such a dark look but love the color, just blot the lipstick on a piece of tissue or napkin then you will have a nice burgundy stain on your lips. Overall I do love the pigmentation and the shine it gives but not how it can bleed so easily. I did test it out when my lips were covered in foundation to give it a fresh base and it still bleed. The only time it didnt bleed as much is when I used lipliner with it but it did later on... Sad to say I won't be purchasing another lipstick from this company, unless they formulate it better.












I had waited about 15 minutes and you can see it already started to bleed on the bottom. (Excuse my peach fuzz!) And the lipstick seats deep into the crevasses in my lips.



And this is the final result after I had kissed my son, drank my coffee and etc... It left a deep stain which I love but it isn't such an apealing look. Look at my bottom lip!

Loreal Manga Mascara Review! Love or hate!


Lets talk and  blog about Loreal Manga Mascara!




I love the color scheme and the pop of color!



When I saw this mascara on the television I wasn't all to thrilled about it and then when I saw a lot of beauty gurus raving this product i thought i would give it a go! and so I did.
I bought this at walgreens for $7.99! And it was the last one in stock!
lets talk about the design! The little bendable wand is suppose to make it easier for you to remove mascara of the wand before application and is suppose to bend while being applied.
In my experience with this product that the bendable part is totally useless for me, just makes it harder to apply on the lashes. The wand itself is not my favorite, the thicker part i like but towards the end the combs seam to disappear into a stick! I just don't get that part and it makes it harder for me to apply on my bottom lashes.



You can see here on the bottom picture that at the tip there is no actual wand spikes on the tip!






My nude lashes!
Did a simple nude look for this demonstration!
With one coat!
You can already see that it really makes my eyelashes alive!
(I love the spidery lashes!)
Two coats!!!
By the time I did the second coat, there was a lot of clumping, but i separated the clumps with a little comb for the eyebrows.
 Now three coats!!!
Now you can see my eyelashes are like vavavoom!
Really defined and i can say it was a lot easier to get the little lashes in the corners but you really do have to wipe away a lot of mascara or you will have panda eyes!


Overall it does have a good formula I think you just have to get used to the wand itself; after a while i got used to it. You do have to take off a lot of mascara before applying it to your actual lashes or false lashes because it will clump up your lashes horribly. I am not a fan of clumpy lashes so if I do have clumpy lashes i take a clean spooly or eyelash comb and separate them,.
towards the end of the day i have noticed that the mascara seamed to crumble off and have little dried mascara clumps under my eyes which was a total fail!. The mascara does seem to come off quite easy with a little bit of warm water or any makeup remover.
I love the overall idea and how they are suppose to give you very big lashes!!!!
If you do already have this product and love it then kudos to you but I wouldn't really repurchase this product again! Sadly! I love the idea and the attempt!!!
Tell me your opinion on this product if you love it or hate it!

Dooney and Bourke Lexington shopper croco Bag review!

Hey guys I am blogging about the Dooney and Bourke Lexington Croco Shopper Bag!
Wow, thats a long name for a bag but lets me just tell you all this bag, It is perfection!!!!!
It isn't a Louis vuitton bag or Hermes; lets just say for a middle class house wife its good enough for me! A Big thank you to my amazing husband!!!!  Thanks so much and you rock! 
He bought this bag in the Venacain in Las vegas while on business tour. He knew how much I loved Dooney and Bourke bags and how much I adore the color yellow! So when he was walking i the Venacain he saw a Dooney and Bourke store and went inside browesed through a couple of bags called me and asked to pick which one appealed most to me! It took me a while to decided but the decision was made! I just love this bag so much I have been carrying it for the past 3 weeks. One thing I didn't love about the bag is that the zipper was kind of hard to use but I broke in to it and now its better. 
It has several Pockets on the inside, one side has a double zipper, and I feel like you have to wear this bag for a good week to break into it and have it work with you. One thing I really love about this bag even though it might not look like it has a lot of room it actually does! I stuffed two pairs of flip flops!!! A water bottle, two small books and much more as you can see in the pictures!
The bottom has four semi golden buttons that help the bag stand up and prevent the floor from touching the actual leather! Another big detail that I love about this bag is that is doesn't flop over every time you put it down. A lot of bags are like that but this bag stands up and keeps everything in its place inside of the bag.
It has two exterior vertical pockets that i put my keys and phone into and other stuff that I can stuff dow when my son is crying and I am running out the door. 
Its made out of real calf skin ( Sorry Animal lovers!! I felt bad to when I found!! Lets not go to crazy!) It has this brick like texture on the outside and on the inside is lined with red cotton fabric and those two colors together makes me fall in love with the bag even more! It has golden zippers and detailing that add that little vavavvoom!  You can see all the little detailing in the pictures after this whole monologue!
The latest color is the brown one! Which you can check out on the link on bottom!
You guys can purchase this product (That I am not affiliated with!) on Zappos.com I provided you guys with the link! Zappos.com/Dooney-Bourke <<<
Tell me what you guys think of this bag and why you would and wouldn't purchase it!
Leave me your comments!!! 
Love ya!!!!!!!!

















Just look a this amazing zipper detailing!!

Just Fab to Just Drab!

Lets have a little blogging chat about Justfab.com, after 2 month of being signed up to their memebeship program to get everything for only 40$ I noticed an additional 39$ per month charge. The site is totally not worth it, apparently I found out that for VIP membership is 39$ a month! And the only way you can purchase the 40$ deals for any shoes is through the VIP membership, so it wasn't worth it. I am not going to be buying shoes every month or accessories and bags. I am not that obsessed with fashion I have a little baby to dress fashionably. Some websites definitely know how to get money out of their costumers..... The shoesthat I loved so much ended up expanding so now they are wide on me! Tears are coming down my face, (not really) but its a bummer. And the bag could of been better after using it for  a whole month, I wont complain about the bag to much because I did use it with alot of satisfaction for my sons daipers, bottles and my stuff of course; it was my new diaper bag. Basically summing this all up my amazing experience with just fab was just drab!

Clean and Clear Morning burst! Review!

Clean and Clear Morning Burst Review. 
I have been using the Clean and Clear Morning Burst for almost two months and I am hooked on it! This cleanser is not only for the morning, its for the afternoon, late noon, midnight, whenever.  This product takes off all of my makeup and wake up your face, giving it a fresh and radiant feeling. It comes with a little pump which is very convenient and the bottle is see through plastic so you know how much you have left before you run out. I use this product at night when I'm to lazy to start wiping my whole face with a little cotton pad and makeup remover so I just wash the makeup off this way. I absolutely adore washing my face with this cleanser in the morning, it gives boost to wake me up from my slumber. It contains Caffeine, lemon and papaya, so it will make anyone feel more awake after one wash. A bottle will last me about 4 to 5 months and you only need one to two pumps to wash the face. I mostly use this in the mornings and one pump will do it for me. I did buy this in my local walgreens, any drugstore should carry this product. 





What is your favorite Cleanser to use?
