Maybelline Chai Latte Quad.


Yesterday when i went to Wallgreens i was looking to buy the Maybelline Natural smokes quad. But when i really looked at it i didnt think that the colors would look good on me. Another palette that i had in mind was the chai latte palette from Maybelline. I looked at it and completly loved it so thats the one i got. I havent worn it out yet but i did try it out on my eyes last night. I love the whole thing except the crease color. In the pan it looks like a really pretty copper color except when you put it on its just a bunch of copper sparkles and doesnt really come out nicely. Blended with the dark brown though it looks awesome so thats a plus. :)

I really recommend buying this quad if you havent already!

NYX Trio



So i recently got the NYX Trio in Nude, Taupe, Dark Brown. Which is really pretty trio. The colors are really pigmented and they go on really smooth. The best part is there so blendable. Alot of cheaper eyeshadows tend to be unblendable but not these. I love the packaging on the palette its just so sleek and pretty. I did a look with the colors yesterday and i was really happy with the results.

Have you guys every tried the NYX trio's? Do you like them? which ones have you tried?

The secret to weight loss.

So everyone wants that perfect secret to weight loss. But when you think about it if there was one main secret then everyone in this world would be fit and no one would be over weight. Although there may not be one main secret to weight loss there are some things that you could change in your habits to help jumpstart your weight loss. 1. drink more water. Water is the key to weight loss. If your not drinking water your going to have more trouble loseing weight. Now im not saying you wont lose anything but its easier if you drink tons of water. You will be alot but we all want to get rid of that water weight. 2. Watch what you eat. Dont just get chinese food and eat the whole container. Watch what your putting in your mouth. You should be able to eat what ever you want as long as you do it in moderation. 3. Be active. Being active is very important when wanting to lose weight. Even if you dont have an hour a day you can always do 20-30 mins a day. Do cardio guys its an amazing thing. Doing cardio (in my opinion) just makes me feel awsome through out the day. I feel like im closer to the goals i want to meet. If you just learn how to do those three things you will be even closer to your goals :) Tell me what you guys have done to lose weight??

Envy Girls. Workouts for the spots that really count.

So i just received this in the mail today and its the envy girls workout dvd. Bascially the dvd is 4 different disks and each one focus on a different part of the body. There is the arms, legs, abs and butt. The girls are totally hot so to me its a bit of a motivation. Im going to be doing a review of this dvd for you guys and let you know how i like it. Im going to start today in doing the abs and butt dvd. Ill let you guys know how it goes.

Urgent! Help! Only 3 weeks to LIVE!

Review: H2O skincareeee!

About two weeks ago a saw the UPS guy pull up in front of my house and i instantly knew what he was bringing to my door. I got super excited because this was the package i was waiting for. I Grabbed it from him and started to just open it as fast as possible. What was in the box you ask? Well thats what i'm here for today. I will be reviewing some products for you guys. The items i will be talking about today are skincare items from the company H2O+, they sent me the items from they're line called Sea Pure. I did receive these items complementary from BeautyStat. These are my personal opinions about these products.



The first thing I noticed when i opened up the package was the way everything was wrapped. I dislike when companies just throw the products in a box and call it a day which is why i loved the way H2O wrapped their products. Each skincare item was individually wrapped in tissue paper which assures that nothing happens to the products, that was a big plus for me. On to each individual product.

First up are these three products right here. These are three sample size products from two different lines. The silver and blue bottles are from their "Sea Results" line and the Light blue bottle in the middle is from their "Face Oasis" line. My favorite out of the three is the Face Oasis hydrating treatment. This product can be a lotion or a mask which is awesome. It hydrates my face and leave it feeling fresh. The dark blue bottle is their deep sleep recovery cream which you put on before you go to sleep. I love this product, everyone mourning i feel good and my face is nice and smooth and not oily which is a plus. The silver bottle is their line mender which helps with wrinkles and lines. I personally don't have any of that but i let my mom use it and she absolutely loves it.


Next is from their Sea Pure collection. This is my all time favorite product from the whole collection. This is their renewing prep tonic which is basically a toner for your face. I put this on after i cleanse my face, as well as in the mourning before i put any makeup on. This product is amazing for making my face feel fresh and clean and it really picks up any dirt or oil that you cleanser does not. The best part about this product is it doesn't dry out my skin. Most toners dry out my skin and make my skin burn, but not this product. Its amazing i give it two thumbs up!


Next is their Gentle refining polish. This is a gentle Exfoliating scrub, it will lightly massage off any dead skin and leave your face feeling super smooth. I love to use this product 2-3 times a week either before or after my shower. I feel like this product makes my skin brighter and just glowing. I love to use this before the renewing prep tonic.



This product was one of the ones i couldn't wait to use and its their perfecting eye cream. I could never find a eye cream that doesn't make my eyelids oily or one that wont leave me with a rash. This product is amazing and very fast absorbing. This product is supposed to repair your eye area and after two weeks i really see a difference. I don't have crazy dry skin around my eyes and the skin just seems firm and bright. I love this product.

This is their Deep Moisture Cream. This is a nourishing cream that is supposed to repair signs of ageing and just make your skin brighter and younger. This was one of the products that i was scared to use. Most lotions make my face really oily and even make me break out like crazy. I used this lotion after the prep tonic and right before i started my makeup. I have to say i'm truly impressed by what it did. It moisturized my face without making me oily. I have yet to find a lotion to keep my face from becoming oily or breaking out but im happy to say i finally found my new favorite lotion. This product kept my skin feeling smooth and i personally think it even helped my makeup stay on longer.

Last but not least is the Creamy Facial Cleanser. This is another product that i was scared to use because allot of cleansers that i have used in the past made my face really dry and my skin sometimes even peals. Its not attractive when that happens. I used this product after my shower and before the prep tonic. I will honestly say the first time i used it it made my face really red and i got really worried that the next mourning i was going to wake up with a pealing face. About 5 minutes later the red face went away and my face felt really smooth. I gave it another chance and used it before my shower. It didn't make my face red at all and i felt my skin looked better afterwards. I Use this product everyday now before my shower and i love it.

So thats my review on the H2O skincare line. I love the way all these products smell and i love the packaging. Im a sucker for a good smelling product with cute packaging so this would really be something that i would buy over and over again. Another thing i forgot to mention was each product that came in a box came with a little paper with information on the product which i found really helpful.

Thursday, October 28, 2010


so i went out today and i picked up a few random things and some stuff for Halloween. First i guess i will talk about what i picked up for Halloween. I picked up the ScareCrow Small sexy Delux Vampire Fangs which were $15 from Hot Topic and then i picked up some blood from the Halloween store for about $2. So yes I am being a vampire for Halloween but not like a white face vampire more like a "True Blood" vampire. :) Next things i picked up were from MAC. I just picked up another Painterly paint pot since my dried out as well as a studio fix powder foundation in NW25. I have only just used the powder foundation at the MAC counter but i love it already :) And just really quickly before i went home i picked up two boxes of hair color to dye my hair tomorow. The color i got was the Revlon color silk in Auburn Brown #49 which is like a really pretty red color.

So yea thats it nothing to special just wanted to share that with you guys hope you enjoyed :)

ashamed

It hasnt even been 2 days and i have already screwed up. ughh idk what the hell is wrong with me. Im so stupid i cant do anything right :/

Day One: Lifestyle change

So today was day one of my lifestyle change. There is no limit to how many days because i feel like that makes things harder. But i do have certain goals. To update you guys with that i am trying to lose about 30-40 lbs. I am over weight i may not look like it but i am. I have always been a terrible eater. I eat when im sad or angry which is horrible thats probally the main reason for me being overweight. I dont eat well either i eat wayyy to much junk food. so pretty much my lifestyle change is going to be to workout at lease 5 or 6 times a week and starting eating alot healthier.  I want to be eating every 2-3 hours to boost my metabalism as well.

So today i woke up and had a piece of toast before my workout. I did the Jillian Michaels Banish Fat Boost Metabolism DVD for about 30 mins. Now the DVD is about 45 mins but i really couldnt handle the whole dvd and i know thats bad and i shouldnt say i cant and i should be giving up but i did ill admit it. After my workout i had a bowl of cereal. (raisin brain cruch) and a glass of ice cold water. About 3 hours later i was hungry so i had a nut and fruit bar which is only 100 calories which is great. About 2 hours after that i was hungry again so i had some yogurt (activia). For dinner i ended up having a salad with barely any dressing a cheeseburger (i know its horrible but im not going to starve myself) and half a stuffed mushroom. MmMm it was yummyy.

Im thinking of something i can do tonight to try and work off that dinner because i hate feeling full. Rawr 0_o
