GLAMLARICIOUS: 2011

December Favorites

Hi Lovies!

Hope everyone is enjoying the month of December with their family and loved ones. As mentioned previously, be around your friends and family, and cherish these moments with them.

Here is a list of my top three beauty pieces, I have been enjoying and honestly swearing by the entire month:

These three items are different from what I was previously using.

****THE Gold medal goes to.... tun tun tun.......

:: Sonia Kashuk concealer palette in hidden agenda

Contains: two concealer shades, one neutralizer and one translucent powder.

With the holiday season and all the stress, my hormones have taken over and this has helped conceal all those obvious spots on my face.

The Silver medal of the month goes to:

Maybelline's color sensational in ::are you ready?::
A red lipstick thats not really red!

I just can't explain how much I love this color. You must see for yourself.

And the Copper medal goes to::
Maybelline's unstoppable eyeliner in ::onyx::

A co-worker of mine has been using this eyeliner and I have admired how dark it transfers against her skin. Mistakenly, I picked it up at target and she asked how I liked it? I absolutely love how dark it is and the fact that it is easy to use on the waterline, and it dries easy on my skin. This product will be repurchased.

Last but not least, here is a picture of what my white christmas tree looked like with most of my gifts(of course)

December

Hi lovies, I apologize for the lack of posts for the month of December but promise next month will not be the same. December in retail is a super hectic time of the year and that is where my career has began. One more week and it will be over, but for now I must enjoy the ride. Once again, make sure you are all enjoying this season with those closest you. Wish you all a merry Christmas, feliz navidad, a happy hanukkah and a very safe, successful new year 2012. Xxoxx

New Shoes!

HI Lovies,

On my Holiday gifts idea (for her) I posted many shoe styles to purchase for either yourself or one of your family members. Of course with my shoe obsession I went on and purchased a pair. From Aldoshoes.com, these shoes are perfect for holiday parties and even for New Years! I wore them with a gun medal color dress for a holiday party. Let me know what you all think.

Durling $100

Adding to the Accessory Collection

After posting my Jewelry Armour collection I went to Aldo Accessories and purchased a few new pieces. I love shopping there since the ideas are absolutely amazing but some times the golds tarnish very easily for the price points. Forever 21 and H&M are stores I love to shop as well since they carry similar items and lower price points.
Here is what I found:

Goody bag.
The Bow on the tights fall above the back of your ankles
earrings (chanel dupe) $10
Beanie hat $18

One of them is real, but I wanted to add extra bling. $18

Love the Colors $18

Can you tell how much I love statement rings!? :)

$25 for the out side ones and the leaf $18

Snake which wraps around $45

my favorite piece purchased. Austrian crystals

This was what I looked like while trying to tape my 1st video, but did not upload it

My jewelry Armour

Teddy is so photogenic

Share with me where you guys find awesome Inexpensive jewelry. I love Accessorizing outfits.

November Favorites (2011)

Hello Lovies,

Here are my favorite items for this month. Number ONE fave has been lip color! You will see below my great selection of my favorite colors

Clarisonic-skin cleanser. I love the fact that even after using the make-up removing wipes, the brush removes the make-up underneath my skin.

Cetaphil-Facial cleaner. Works great without drying my skin.

Witch Hazel- Used as a toner at night time with..

Josie Maran-Cleansing oil. The mix of these have really helped my skin fight break outs

Ponds make-up remover wipes- The best thing about these vs. the Neutrogena ones is that these are quilted and they smell great!

The Body Shop Brazil nut hair mask- This smells great and works wonderful. Since, I have curly hair all sorts of moisture help fight the frizz.

Elf brow gel and mascara

Sephora's brow pencil(medium)

Mac strobe cream-this moisturizer works really great paired with my tinted moisturizer for a natural glow

Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer- For every day this tinted moisturizer helps my skin stay lightweight

Make Up For Ever HD foundation- This is one of my favorite foundations I use for special occasions since it is full coverage I choose not to use it every day.

Mac Mineralized skin finish-This is newer to my make up collection but I have been enjoying it over the tinted moisturizer to set it.

Bare mineral loose powder(veil)-I have used this for a couple of years, and love putting it on after placing my bronzer, and blush on to set them.

Urban Decay eye shadow potion-Works wonders to prevent smudging

Wet n Wild cream liner-Used for my water line or to wing my eyes

Revlon Color stay liquid liner- Use this one every day with a felt tip(easy to apply)

"Today is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that's why its called the present"(kung fu panda)

Many times, we forget what is important in life.
Being grateful for living, breathing, and being healthy are great reasons to appreciate life.
Work, money, and materialistic things will only bring temporary satisfaction.
Friends and family will bring eternal happiness.
During the holiday season, try to spend as much time as possible with your loved ones and remind them how much you love them.
Grudges can turn into a regret if something terrible happens to that one person you honestly love and held a grudge over something that could have been prevented.
Even if it was something major, "let it go" and remember that there are others out there who wish to have that special loved one sitting next to them, holding their hand or even hugging them one more time.
Be grateful for what you have today because tomorrow is never promised.

INSTYLE (nov. issue)

Hi lovies,

Every time you walk into a convenience store, wal-mart, or a drug store we always come across the magazine isle. Even when your ready to cash out there will at least be 5 different titles, and of course I got suckered into my favorite magazine which is INSTYLE. Here are a few pieces that caught my attention due to the correct marketing or even my favorite child hood icon.
