CHRISTMAS INSPIRATIONS

Hey Everyone! :))

Hope you all had a really good Thanksgiving! I had to work, but when I got home, I still got to eat some really good food! :)

So being that it's the 2nd day of December, and my favorite Holiday is almost here, I thought I'd leave you all with some Christmas Inspirations! 

Follow me on Pinterest for more Christmas Inspirations! :))

MAKEUP PRODUCTS YOU SHOULD INVEST ON

Hey Everyone!!

Makeup is something almost every girl has and loves. Some girls only buy drugstore products, while others, only buy high-end. I for one, feel that there are makeup products that you should invest on, if you want the best results, and there are also makeup products, that it doesn't really make a difference if you buy it at a CVS or a Sephora.

Here are TWO makeup products I feel you should invest on and pay a little more, and remember, this is if you're the type of girl who really likes makeup. :)

Foundation is something that IN MOST CASES you will see best results with the expensive high-end ones. I own both high-end AND drugstore, and I love them both, you all know I rave about my Nearly Naked, but, expensive foundations tend to last longer, feel better, and they tend to have full coverage.

Concealer, just like foundation, is something I feel you should also invest on. Good concealers will not only hide your imperfections, such as redness, zits, dark circles, etc, super good, but they also have a high percentage of not leaving your face full of cracks by the end of the day.

So I'm not saying here that drugstore foundations and concealers suck, because a lot of them don't! But if you are looking for really good results when doing your makeup, invest on these two products!!

REVIEW- ARGAN OIL

Hey everyone! :))

Today I'll be reviewing for you this Moroccan Argan Oil I bought about 2 months ago at CVS. 

I was looking around for  an oil hair treatment because my ends were looking super damaged, and I also wanted more shine in my hair. I picked this one up and have been trying it for the past 2 months, and I'm in love with it!  It's super affordable, I think I paid like $4.00 on it because CVS was having a sale, and like I said, I've been using it for a while now, and it's not even half way through the bottle! It smells super good, and I believe it really did help my hair a lot.

I use this two different ways.

1. After I wash my hair, and it's towel tried, I'll put A LITTLE bit of this on and let my hair air dry.

or 

2. I'll wash my hair, let it air dry, style it, and then put this on.

It is very clear, and it has a very nice consistency. 

AND as promised, I told you on my Loving this hair color post that I wanted to dye by hair a reddish/brown color...and I did!!! 

It was exactly the color I wanted. Just a subtle auburn color! :)

PRETTY & FIT- MOTIVATION

Hey Everyone!! :)

Today I wanted to do another Pretty & Fit post, telling you guys what I've been doing on my workouts, and what motivates me to go to the gym.

So on my last Pretty & Fit post, I told you guys I'd be working out 3 days a week which is usually a Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, because of the fact that those are my days off from work. 

So here is what I did this week:

Monday- Arm Day. Ran/walked for 20 minutes (which is like a mile and a half). Worked out my Biceps, Triceps, and abs.

Tuesday- Leg Day. Ran/walked for 20 minutes (mile and a half). Worked out my legs and abs.

Wednesday- Arm and Shoulders. Ran/walked for 20 minutes (mile and a half). Worked out my biceps and shoulders, and abs.

I can definitely say that I feel this week's workout! haha I'm SUPER sore!!!

So what motivates me to workout??

I follow a lot of workout blogs, and a lot of girls on instagram that are always posting their workout pics! It really works!! 

I particularly like this instagram: @Fabulousfit She's a Brazilian woman who workouts everyday, and her workout looks are adorable as well! She is also always posting what she eats.

And I can't leave this out, because I think that this is what motivates me the most!! haha

Victoria Secret angels are gorgeous, and being that my dream is to be one, this sooo motivates me!! haha

Soo have you girls been working out??

Tell me how it's going and lets motivate each other! :)

REVIEW: INSTANT AGE REWIND

Hey everyone! :)

Today I want to review my fav drugstore concealer at the moment which as you can see, it's the Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser by Maybelline! :)

I bought this a couple weeks ago after watching a makeup video on YouTube, and the girl said really nice things about it, so I decided to try it out for myself.

As soon as I got home from the store, I sort of tested it under my eyes, and even my husband noticed a difference! HE said it looked super smooth. haha

My shade is Neutralizer, and it couldn't have matched more perfectly with my skin tone. What I usually do is if I'm doing a super high coverage makeup look, I'll put this on first, and on top I'll put my Mac Studio Finish concealer. If I'm just doing a quick makeup to be out of the house fast, I'll use it by itself, and it still looks great!

This is super affordable, cost me about $8.00 at Walmart, and I'll definitely be going back for more once this one is finished! 

I did a Foundation Routine post here on the blog not long ago, and I did use this concealer, so check it out! :)

Have you girls tried this yet?? and what did you think?

MINI TARGET MAKEUP HAUL

Hey Everyone!

I went to my favorite store EVER yesterday..Target, and I did a little makeup shopping. :)

These weren't necessarily things I needed, except for the bronzer, because my Physicians Formula bronzer is pretty much done. I got Elf's Golden bronzer to try it out, since I do really like Elf products. It is very shimmery, but then again, so was my Physicians one, and I didn't have a problem with it. I also got Elf's Cream Eyeliner, which I'm super excited to try it out. 

Honestly, I can't believe I've only decided to buy Maybelline's 24 hr color tattoo now...but better late then never. Since I bought these two to try them out, I decided to get subtle colors, Tough as Taupe, and Barely Branded. I kind of tried them out yesterday on my eyes, and it was love at first application, and that's why I say I can't believe I'm just getting these now!

I will be doing reviews on these as I test them out so be sure to keep coming by Pretty & Pearls! :)

Also, just want to remind everyone that the Dressale giveaway is ending soon, and there will be TWO winners! CLICK HERE to enter! :)
