WELCOME! / ¡Bienvenidos! Thanks for visiting my BLOG **Let me hear from you! (EMAIL ME)** ♥NOTE: If you like my pics and would like to use them, ask for permission first! My pics are copyrighted♥
These swatches are for the Shiseido Perfect Rouge Tender Sheer L/S in RD629 'Natural Red' Sheer L/S ($25, 0.14oz). This l/s is super moisturizing, almost like a lipbalm but wears as a lipstick (i.e., longer wear). Just as its name states, it looks very natural on my lips and gives them a glossy, healthy look. Price is a bit steep, but I consider its quality is superb. I really like it.
So last night was the Britney Spears concert here in Puerto Rico. EXCELLENT SHOW! Love her!!!! (Yes, I'm a fan). She even brought her whole family to the stage: kids, boyfriend, Mom, sister, niece...OMG her sons are so cute, they just kept jumping and dancing (she was singing 'I wanna go').
Someone posted this clip in YouTube:
I wanted to wear nice makeup, so I decided to finally put my UD's Naked Palette to use. I applied 'Virgin' as a wash and well into the inner corners/tearduct area of my eyes; 'Shog' in 2/3 of the eyelid and lower lash line; and 'Darkhorse' in the outer 1/3, outer lower lashline and also blended it well in the crease. I ended up applying 'Creep' in the 'outer v' for some depth. I then just finished the look with eyeliner and mascara.
I'm sorry these pics don't show the true colors of the e/s, my camera battery died so I had to use my Iphone. Oh well.

Concealers are one of the most important beauty products you can own. With the right concealer, anybody can have flawless skin -- or at least look like they do. Our readers tried and tested a slew of them so that you could have 19 amazing concealers to choose from.
Once again, I'm under one of those 'un-inspirational' spells. That and that basically, the makeup I wear for work is very simple. I basically try to even out my skintone (because of my melasma condition, I have some darkspots on my face). And I say 'try' because I hate to go to work with lots of foundation, considering I work at a construction site and sometimes I sweat like crazy. One day I looked in the mirror and, ugh, didn't know what I was thinking...Anyway, I'm trying to keep it as simple as posible.
I've bought lots of great cosmetics and brushes a few months ago but I don't feel like doing a 'haul' post--I found them useless if they don't include swatches. Since I haven't made swatches or taken pics, I don't want to post anything. But I'm working on that...
In the next pics I'm wearing MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF15 in 'Medium Dark' ('rediscovered' it in my makeup drawers and I'm loving it) topped with NARS Loose Powder in Beach (<---love love LOVE it); MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NC35; NARS 'Amour' Blush on the cheeks; on my eyes--UDPP in Sin with some loose powder on top; Maybelline Define-a-Brow Eyebrow Pencil in Dark and Medium Brown and CG LashBlast Volume Mascara in Very Black. The l/s in these pics is Revlon's Matte L/S in 'Stormy Pink' which now I absolutely hate. (It was midday when I took these pics and hadn't reapply my l/s).
All these products for this (LOL!):

So there you have it. I do have to mention, I wear a different foundation per week. Since I'm a foundation freak, many of them were not being used for a long time and that had to change. But this MAC tinted moisturizer is really good.
You know, I just need to concentrate on the blessings in my life and try to keep focus on what's good. Find joy in the little things. Try to remember my 'motto' all the time --Live, Love, Laugh. =)
Thanks to all of you who keep commenting on my posts and please, if I have not answered your questions just send me and email...sometimes I just forget =/
Well, gotta go. Lunch break is over.
God bless and hey...Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you!
