Inspiration In Small Corners

Over stacked with fashion magazines on my living room side table. So much inspiration in one little corner. 

Though I often get tiered of wearing the same polish on my nails, and change it about every three days, I really liked this fun design I made on my nails. This was inspiered by a dress a saw in May's Elle magazine. I used a dotting tool to make the dots and free handed the "roses". I failed at the roses, but from far away you can guess they are some type of flower. Due to today's event I have to change my manicure to a classic red.

I will be taking lots of pictures from today. My Fiance and I will be attending the annul 50th Anniversary Gala for his job. I finally found an elegant evening gown which I can't wait for him to see. Time to get ready!
Much love,

Great Amazon.com Finds!

Hello beautiful! Just had coffee with my momma and we had conchas to dunk in our coffee yummy.  My Sister is so cute, since Ricardo and I are already starting to plan the wedding she got me this magazine to get a head start.

For today's post, I wanted to share a new item I am so obsessed with and highly recommend! It is the Seche Vite top nail coat. Ommgahhh it works wonders. After using one coat I instantly felt a difference in the strength of my nails, as well as how long my manicure lasted, and it's gloss. One of my good friends, Liz from Instagram (and real life) recommended this magic in a bottle. 

 

I like to get inspired by everyone just like you do! And once I saw Heart have this on her nails. (Essie Limited Edition 2009 Lovie Dovie.)  I had to order it off Amazon. I found it for less than $6.

Make sure to follow two of my favorite Instagramers.

Other goodies I recently purchased. Once I saw that Selena Gomez was part of Nicole by OPI's nail polish line I had to get one! That's my girl right there.

Exciting Collaboration!

Ahhh I can't wait! I am a very big fan of HaulerDeals and feel very honored that they contacted me! I couldn't have done it without you guys! Thank you and love you!

 You know I always tell myself,  "I have 10mins to to write a quick post...", and 30mins later.. still working on it. Ha ha! I just get so into it and the time flies by. The weather was not my friend today. You know what that means...

I Gave In!

Tory Burch robinson

Meet the newest addition to my wallet family. I have been lusting over this baby since July of last year. I was going to buy it for myself for my birthday but decided not to for a while. But, once I started getting more into small crossbody bags it made me want it more. Ever since I purchased my everyday purse, Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac,  I needed a smaller wallet in order to be able to fit more necessities. I finally gave in a couple days ago, and I think it was so worth it. It's my very first Tory Burch purchase.  It's amazing quality and it's the most beautiful color in the world! PINK! At least in my opinion hee hee. We work hard for our money and deserve to treat ourselves once in a while.

 Essie - Mochacino

A couple days ago, as I was walking past the nail polish isle at Target and this little baby caught my eye. That doesn't happen very often just walking by with nail polish, so I had to get it. It has beautiful microscopic shimmers which make the color a bit brighter. I don't like dull greys, they make your hands look dead.  I wanted to amplify those little shimmers. I added silver sparkles, Milani Jewel FX Silver and Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty, to the left edges of my nails. I really like how it turned out :)

Time to shoot a video! I'm thinking... "How I clean my makeup brushes". Before I do, I'm going to eat lunch I'm super hungry! 

Much love,

Current Obsessions!

(Left to right.)

Elf Contouring Blush and Bronzer $3.00 | Too Faced Teddy Bear Brush $32 | Sedona Lace Flat Top Brush 928 $14.95 | Essie Nail Polish "Where's My Chauffeur" $7.49 | 3D Hello Kitty Case $8.50 

 

These cuties have been my current obsessions. They are all beautiful! When they are pretty and functional it's always a winner in my book!  

Not too long ago I picked up this Elf nail polish since it looked great on my friend Alex. They were limited edition, not sure if they are still available. I thought the gorgeous color by Essie along with the Elf nail polish, would make this bright color more Fall appropriate ;) I also added cute rhinestone stickers from Sephora that my friend Artie gifted me a while ago.

 I have been getting so many compliments lately on how great my makeup looks and I have to give all the credit to this little duo! Hardly any of the Elf blushes show on my skin tone. I'm a dark olive/natural tan. This one is beautiful and it has shimmer which works as a highlight. Now that I get less sun, the bronzer really helps me out.

I use the Sigma Large Angled Contour F40 for the blush.

I use the Sigma Large Powder F30 for the bronzer.

You don't need to splurge on expensive foundation to get good lasting results, you just need the tools. My sister took my favorite Sedona Lace brush, so I have been using my back up and I love it!

You know I'm a sucker for packaging. I had to add the Too Face Teddy Bear Brush to my collection! I love bows!

Holy Grail Foundations

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation 310 SunBeige $5.94

L'Oreal True Match Foundation 468/W6-7 $10.99

Whenever I get a new phone the first thing I look for is a case to protect the poor thing. I drop my phone at least once everyday butter fingers! I simply searched for it on Amazon and after seeing the great price I immediately bought it. 

My mistake is that I didn't look a the size, and when I got it in the mail I was barely able to hold it with one hand ha ha! It's okay though I still love it! What girly girl doesn't love HK?

It's election day today I hope you voted! Just came back from a meeting, good thing it involved dinner, the four course meal is putting me to sleep a lot faster. Good night lovelies! 

Much love,

Belinda
