EOS Love

Hey everyone! :))

So today's post is about something that I have been truly loving for the past year or so!

Honestly, these balms are a life saver for me because my lips tend to get really chapped at times. I keep one in my makeup bag, another by my bedside, another in the bathroom, and one in the pocket of a jacket.

The ones that you see above in order from left to right are:

1.Sweet Mint

2.Honeysuckle

3.Medicated Tangerine

4.Summer Fruit

They not only leave your lips super smooth, but they look adorable!

Visit EOS for more balms and for other products as well such as body lotion and shaving cream.

Have you guys tried these out? Which one is your favorite??

How I Clean my Makeup Brushes

Hey everyone! :)

So cleaning your makeup brushes regularly is a must! Dirty brushes not only have the product that you used just sitting on the bristles and getting old, but it also collects oil from your skin, and that can be the cause of breakouts! Everyone has their own way of cleaning their brushes, and this is mine. It's very simple, all you will need will be:

1.the brushes

2.warm water

3.Soap

4.Your hand

5. Olive oil (optional)

Some people like putting the warm water inside a cup, I prefer just cleaning everything in the sink.

Put a little bit of soap in your hand. It's up to you what kind of soap you use, just remember that if you have sensitive skin (like me) it's best to use baby soap or baby shampoo because it doesn't have any harsh ingredients. Most people actually just use dish soap, which is perfectly fine.

Wet the brushes one by one in the warm water and then clean it in a circular motion on the hand that has the soap (obviously).

The Olive oil is optional, but if you want to use it, it conditions the hairs on the brushes after you washed it. If you do use it, mix a little bit of the oil with the soap your using and clean away. Make sure you rinse it thoroughly.

To dry the brushes, I put them side by side on top of a clean towel. The proper way to do it would be to put them hanging, bristles facing downward, so that the water doesn't unglue the hairs that are being held together.

If putting makeup on is part of your everyday routine, make sure cleaning them becomes part of your routine as well. Your skin will thank you! :)

Hope you all enjoyed!

Gisele For H&M!

Hey everyone!!

So the other day I was at home, watching something on T.V, and when it went to commercials, I finally got to see H&M's new commercial with Gisele Bundchen singing AND modeling the new Fall campaign for H&M!!

The collection has great Autumn pieces that actually include some Fall must haves I mentioned on my last post such as emerald green and leather! 

*Picture credits: H&M*

Being that this is Gisele's first song, she was asked in an interview what made her want to do this campaign. She simply responded: "I thought it would be a fun experience. It’s not everyday someone invites you to record a song – I couldn’t pass that up! "

You can actually download the song on Itunes! She did a great job singing it!!

Click here if you haven't seen the video yet. :)

What do you think of the collection?? 

Hope you enjoyed! <3

Three Fashion Trends for Fall 2013

Hey everyone! :)

So Fall/Autumn is here!! I'm actually surprisingly excited because that only means comfy sweaters, boots, hot chocolate etc..

As this is mostly a fashion/beauty blog, I am here to tell you 3 important trends for this Fall that you can't miss out.

1.Leather

Leather is still big this Fall, so don't be afraid to play around with it. Also, take a risk and go for colored leather, it will make a huge difference in your Fall outfit.

2.Emerald Green

This is the go-to color for this fall. If it's too out there for you, try wearing it with accent pieces such as jewlery, scarves, bags, shoes, etc.

3.Hats

Hats are a great way to either make the look casual, or glamorous! With so many choices out there such as Fedoras, baseball caps, and floppy knits, you will be set for this Fall.

There are so many other Fall trends out there for you to play around with this Autumn. 

What are some of your favorites that for sure you will be trying out??

Weekend at the Beach

Hey everyone!!

So I hope everyone had a great weekend! I know I did! 

I spent my weekend at the beach in a really nice Hampton Inn. Being that summer is practically over, and it's Autumn already, I wanted to enjoy every last bit of it.

I live in Florida, so it doesn't snow, but when winter comes around, it does get cold (at least in my opinion it gets cold haha) so during summer time, all I want to do is be at the beach!!

These were the only makeup products I used this weekend. 

Revlon BB cream: Review

M.A.C Studio Finish Concealer: Review

Covergirl LashBlast Mascara

Nyx nude lipgloss and Maybelline's Baby Lips

Elf blush in Pink Passion

Revlon Nearly Naked Powder

We stayed in Daytona Beach Florida, which is about an hour away from where I live. Like I said we stayed at a brand new Hampton Inn right in front of the beach, if you are interested in looking at the hotel pictures and prices click on the Hampton link.

I am soo exhausted and it seems like I have been working on this post the whole day because I'd start and then take a break because I couldn't keep my eyes opened! haha 

The mini getaway was definitely worth it though, I spent it with my family and we had lots of fun! :)
