I Got My First Allure Beauty Box! | HIT OR MISS?

I am a fan of subscription boxes and I will admit that until the death of me. It's like a little gift from you to you every month, lol. I have tried boxes such as Birchbox, Boxy Charm, Bark Box and now the Allure Beauty Box. I typically aim for boxes that have reasonable value. For example, I love deluxe size products or full size product boxes simply because I feel like you get your moneys worth. If you haven't read my blog post on Boxy Charm, check it out here!

Favorite Beauty Masks At The Moment

Ever since I passed the age of 21 (which is not too long ago!) I obsess over taking care of my skin probably more than I should. Nah, who am I kidding, one should always be obsessed with their skin! Honestly though, if your base is healthy (skin) then either a. your skin will be so bomb you might want to opt for zero makeup, or b. your makeup beat will be absolutely stunning and flawless! I choose both.

Acne has always been a battle for me and I try to focus my skincare ventures on fighting that issue. Now, in my experience, many anti acne products result in over drying of the skin. Overly dry skin is something you do not want, or at least I run away from. I hate the tight feeling as well as the itchy feeling. If you follow my journey through instagram (which you totally should! ... please?) you will always see me trying a new mask or just a mask that I love. One might say "ok, you mask too much!" but in reality, when I mask I tend to spot treat. What that is - is me simply applying the mask to the area where it is focused to tackle or at least advertised to tackle and where I want it to work. I will be showing and talking a little bit about my go to face masks and how I normally use them. Now, shall we?

Miami Tropical Vibes | DREAMER X SEPHORA POP UP EVENT

Hello, hello!

Long time no talk! It's summer time in Miami and that calls for TROPICAL AF outfits! Lately I have been in the mood for colorful and very loud outfits. That means that I am all in for prints, neons and maybe both combined? Haha! After all... it is Miami and if any city knows about loud colors in clothes it is Miami! Spending money on tropical-ish outfits here is cool because it is something you can technically wear all year long (uh yes, all year. I have seen people go to the beach on Christmas Day!)

Please keep in mind that I will always try to list the exact same look but in the event that the store no longer offers the look I will give you guys other alternatives!

But wait, you still cant find that you need? Message/email/write to me on my instagram and I will help you style the look to accommodate your needs!

SEVEN Beauty Products Every Beauty Lover Should Own!

As a beauty lover who is always on the go, whether on my way to class or work, there are SEVEN products i just cannot seem to live without. The products I will be showing you lovelies are products that help me get a kick start on my tired face in the morning and also help me on those long 10+ hour days!

Glide through the day, sprinkling confidence with these essentials:

1. The Face Cleanser:

What a better way to wake your skin up than with a nice citrus-y face cleanser! I personally have been loving the Ginzing Scrub by Origins. It not only purifies my face every morning but it exfoliates my skin and preps it for a smoother makeup application! The GinZing Cleanser can be found on Sephora.com, you can also ask for a free sample at Sephora locations.

HIT or MISS: Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme's (two shades)

Hellooooo!

Today I will be discussing the new (well new for me) Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme's. The new trend seems to be "liquid lipstick this, liquid lipstick that", so I thought "why not give these a try?". I was recently introduced to these by my dear blogger friend Sunflowerviews, she had the shade Adorable on and I immediately fell in love with it. Now, these are not that easy to find I had to hunt a bit for them until I came across them at my local CVS Pharmacy. I would say your best bet would be to order these online directly from the Milani website.

The two shades I purchased were: Adorable & Striking 

(striking for some reason cannot be found on their website, perhaps it has been discontinued, although these pictures are from the website...strange.)

Bring your favorite products.... BACK TO LIFE!

Hello Trend Setter!

As a beauty and fashion enthusiast I thought it was only right to give you all a little insight on my makeup tricks. I am big on brows! Brows are life, brows are the center of every makeup look I create, BROWS ARE EVERYTHING!!!!! Now, to create the perfect brows, of course you need the right products. I personally use the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pomade, it works great and gives me those bold brows I so deeply crave! Don't get me wrong I live for their products but there comes a time when their pomades or any pomade like product (gel liners, too) dry out.
