Chic Studs

Pink and Pepper Hinder Flats $49.00

Up late tonight  catching up on my work. I love what I do! I wanted to share with you loves some cute/rocker flats that spice up a casual look. Ordinary flats tend to bore me at times, I prefer wearing something with detail if I'm just wearing some skinnies and a cute simple sweater. 

Revlon Urban $3.99

I also love wearing studs on my on my nails. It makes your mani look professionally done. I have gotten so many compliments on this nail art lately. The application is really easy. Just dab a dot of a clear top coat nail polish, I recommend Seche Vite, where you want to place the stud. Then coat the entire nail with the clear coat. Depending on your activity they may fall off. The studs on my thumbs fell a lot faster. Regardless they are glamorous and worth the extra time to apply them. 

Revlong by Machesa 3D Jewel Appliques

How fabulous are these nail wraps? Ahhh! Supahhh cute! I haven't seen these in stores yet, but you bet I'm heading to Target or CVS tomorrow. I don't know how much they are since I couldn't find them online. They might be on the pricey side but as long as they are under $10 I'm getting at least two of them, the 24k Brocade and Gilded Mosaic . If you think about it people pay $20 for a single manicure so it doesn't hurt me to get these. Which ones are your favorites? 

It's way past my bed time. I have to get up early tomorrow and film my glamorous favorites wink wink. I'm also going to try on wedding dresses for the first time. I'm already starting to get emotional. I'm going to be a mess ha ha.

Blogs You Have To See!!! My Fav Bloggers!

FromAPurpleChair

This has to be one of the most gorgeous and addicting blogs known to beauty lovers! It is extremely glamorous, classy, and girly! All of my favorite adjectives hee hee. I love how Liz incorporates affordable and luxurious items to her posts. Her pictures are purely eye candy! 

DotLash

My gorgeous YouTube bestie! Definitely a trend setter!  She has this rocker, sexy, and sometimes feminine/grune style appeal that is extremely unique and classic. She has the cutest personality and is down to earth.  Rhonda can you be my personal stylist? I can always count on her to find my staple pieces. Don't just take my word for it you have to check it out for yourself. 

Beautezine

A blog where you get more answers than you thought you could ask. When I want to splurge on any beauty product this is my one stop for full details. Usually when I want to reach a little deeper into my pocket for high-end makeup I research the product to make sure it's worth the extra money. I feel like I have the actual product in my hand with her descriptions and reviews. 

FashionCoolture

Her style screams high-fashion couture, but what you may not realize is how ridiculously affordable her wardrobe is. I love how you can shop every piece she's wearing in all of her posts. She adds links from  head-to-toe.  I wish I could put outfits together like her. Though I can't find myself pulling off what she pairs together at times. Hee hee. If you have a rare garment in your closet and need inspiration to rock it, you can always count on her blog for ideas. 

One of my favorite past times is reading fashion, beauty, and home decor blogs! I would love to see yours! Comment below if you have a blog ;)

L'OREAL - La Laque

I have found my new everyday go-to lip color! Thank you L'OREAL for making this product! I love how I can rock this lippie early in the morning having brunch with my girlfriends, to work, and even to run errands. I just can't go without some kind of tint on my lips. I'm a lippie product junkie. Aside from my favorite lip stains from Tarte this is my new favorite shade of rose. The best part is that it's affordable! Love me some drugstore goodies!  It doesn't budge. It's very low maintenance. 

Follow me on Instagram @MissBelindaxox

Earlier I was drinking hot chocolate and through all of my sipping it still stayed on my lips. You don't have to worry about re-applying it, because it leaves a gorgeous stain on your lips. 

I usually prefer matte lip products since they tend to last longer, but I love low this has a glossy consistency which allows it to be moisturizing on your delicate lips. I didn't feel the need to add a lip balm throughout the day to keep my lips from chapping. This lip stick/stain rates at five stars for me! I will probably make my way to Target soon to pick up more shades of these! Do you lovelies own any? What are your thoughts? 

Much love,

Belinda Selene

P.S. I also uploaded a cute up hair-do for Fall. Hope you guys enjoy it!

If you try out this hair style make sure to tweet me, or send me a picture on Instagram @MissBelindaxox using the hash tag #BelindaSelene I'll make sure to like and comment on it ;)

The Shiny Things

While trying to kill time before a meeting I stopped by a nearby Marshalls and came across the perfect little "wallet" for my everyday purse. Rebecca Minkoff doesn't have silver wallets in their current collection, or they do and I didn't look very hard, at least to my taste. Luckily I found this for half off the retails price. I'm sure I'm not the only girl who loves to match the same design or designer to her hand bag. 

Nowadays I only buy small little wallets that fit in my cross-body bags, thus eliminating a bunch of useless items at the bottom of my purse, that I think one day will come in handy. Like a band aid, neosporin, or a billion lipsticks. That day still hasn't came.

I got for such a great deal it was almost a steal. I love how it compliments the hardware on my Mini Mac. I love this time at night. I have a beautiful Pink Tulip candle from Bath and Body Works burning while listening to my favorite tunes. Right now I have, "We Can't Stop" on replay by Miley Cyrus. Gingi looks so cute sleeping right next to me. Well off to bed I go it's late and tomorrow is going to be a fun early day for me. Good night beauties!

Much Love,

How Much Does My Daily Beauty Routine Cost?

I was on Instagram as I always am, what's new, as I was browsing through hash tags on Benefit cosmetics I came across a blogger who had a post on how much her daily beauty routine cost. I clicked on her profile and found her blog. Stephanie mentions in her blog that if all of her makeup was gone, would she be willing to spend the money in one trip to replace it. I asked myself that same question, and ask you the same. I was very curious if I would. Well, let's find out together.These are the products I mainly use on a daily basis.

Face Products

Cetaphil - Moisturizing Creme $10.79 | Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser $6.49

I consider both of these Holy grail items as part of my beauty products, because without them my face would be covered with dry acne. It helps keep my acne well under control. My family inherits rosacea which is a severe acne condition.

Too Faced - Foundation Powder (Warm Honey) $32 | Sedona Lace - Kabuki Brush $14.99 | Mac - Studio Finish Concealer (NC35 ) $18

 CHEEK PRODUCTS

E.L.F. - Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder $3.00 | Sigma - Large PowderF30 (Make Me Blush kit) $65 | Benefit - Coralista Blush $28 | Sephora Professionals - Pro Angled Blush Bush #49 $32

I only use the bronzer on the E.L.F. due, the blush is too light on my skin tone. I love to use the powder brush by Sigma for my bronzer and not the whole face. F.I.Y. I will buy the Coralista blush as soon as I run out. Best blush ever!!! I don't even need a highlighter with this blush.

Eye Products

Be A Bombshell - Eyeliner (Onyx) $14 | Trim Beauty Care - Eyelash Curler $3.99 | Benefit - They're Real Mascara $23 | L'Oreal - Voluminous Mascara $5.84

I got the eyeliner from my October Ipsy/My Glam Bag and I love it so much! Have you subscribed yet? 

EYEBROW PRODUCTS

NYX - Caviar & Bubbles $8 | Anastasia - Brow Gel $21 | Sonia Kashuk - Brush Set (Limited Edition) $24.99

LIP PRODUCTS

Revlon - Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain (Lovesick) $7.49 | Fresh - Sugar $22.50

I always use a balm/chapstick before and after I apply any other lip product. The balm doesn't really count. It was a sample given to me on my birthday from Sephora. Since I am a "Beauty Insider" it was a  free gift and anyone can join ;) but I guess I put the price if I wanted to replace it.

Drum roll please.....are you ready? I don't know if I am since I just googled all the links to see the prices. I had no clue how much some of these were. Okay here it goes....wait let me get my calculator.

Total: $341.08

Ahhhhh are you serious?!? Yikes! My answer heckie no! I would not replace all of them. I would substitute or go without wearing makeup for about month. Though the total is flabbergasting, I can honestly say I paid for about 50% or less for all of them. They were mainly gifts from people close to me who spoil me rotten. They know my obsession with makeup and it's my hobby to talk about it. 

The products I would run in a heart beat to replace would be:

Cetaphil Mousturizer

Biore Acne Cleanser

Mac Consealer

E.LF. Duo

Be a Bombshell Eyeliner

L'Oreal Mascara

Benefit Coralista Blush

Revlon Balm Stain

The other products are just little luxuries to have. I love all of these products, they are amazing, but I wouldn't be able to afford them all in one trip. How much does your daily beauty routine cost? I would love to know tweet, Facebook, or Instagram me a picture of your daily products. I'm always looking for a great purchase. Gotta get dressed, I'm in my pj's, for a double tonight. 

Much love,

Belinda Selene

Lippie Junkie: Lasting Colors

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain 015 CHERISH | NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss BEIGE

I'm obsessed with Revlon's balm stains due to their long wear! Cherish was not always one of my favorites but with this NYX gorgeous gloss, thanks to my love Mel for gifting it to mehh, it looks so flirty and feminine. A lasting lip color with a shine. It has literally been on my lips for more than three hours without any fading.

Chanel Rouge Allure 93 EXALTEE | NYX Lip Liner Pencil HOT PINK

As I walked into Macy's my attention imminently went straight to a very pretty girl who had this gorgeous color on. I asked her what lipstick she was wearing, there was no doubt I had to get  it right there and then. Chanel holds it's reputation for an obvious reason. I think it's worth the splurge. It last for hours and it looks  impeccable.

I also love NYX lip liner pencils. I always rave how great they work. (click here to watch video) I personally own about ten of them.

I'm sure to get compliments when I wear this bold color. I have become such a huge lippie junkie that I had to share this with you lovelies. I always want to know what lippies are worth getting. I hope this helped If your in the market for a good lip product.

Mom made gorditas and one has my name on it! Nom Nom...gotta go!

Much Love, 

Belinda

Hello Kitty Collection at Forever21

I have been waiting for Hello Kitty apparel for a really long time since two seasons ago at Forever21. I could spend hours in there. I am really picky because I don't want to look too childish but still represent the girlishness in me. I'm looking forward to shopping this collection Sunday, when my girlfriends and I will be making a longer trip to a different mall, than to our usual favorite mall for an all girl's day out. Which will include breakfast ;) can't wait!

Set of 6 Cupcake Key Caps $5.80

Look at what I also found while browsing through the website! Ahhhh they are too cute! A friend of mine surprised me with these two years ago in a Valentine's day goodie bag. They are back in stock now! I used to be the cupcake queen and make cupcakes for any occasion and decorate them. I need to start doing that again :D

Instagram @MissBelindaxox

I know many of you asked where they were from and I didn't know until I found them online. Eeek too cute!

Cupcakes I made and decorated for Christmas 

I made these for a very special little girl, my boyfriend's cousin,  for her Halloween themed party.

Yeah I need to start making them again! They are very time consuming but it made me happy :D Soo totally off subject but I can't get  over how great the Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part II movie was! I went to the premiere last night and ahhhh I freaked out. They threw a little surprise in there but I loved it! Very unexpected since I read all the books. Did you go see it? What did you think?

Much love,

Belinda

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

Favorite Lip Products

Over the last three to four months, ever since I purchased a lip stain from Revlon, I have been obsessed with lip products. I used to only wear a lip balm or lip gloss on my lips. Over where I live (borderline of Chicago/Indiana), it's rare to see girls with lip stick on. Even when it comes to special occasions, everyone just wears a clear lip gloss. I think a little lip color really enhances your natural features and makes you look radiant. It brings life to your face. It doesn't always have to be so dark.  A rose lipstick is now part of my daily makeup routine along with mascara and eyeliner. When I do a full face of makeup, for more of a night time look, I love to go for a bold berry lip. Here are some of my current favorite lippies.

 

These are currently in my everyday makeup bag. I'm usually rushing out the door and don't have time to choose which shade of lipstick I want to wear or touch up. Sugar Rose if my favorite lip balm for the horrible cold weather that dries and chaps my lips. I like the L'Oreal Caresse for an everyday subtle look. When I want to add some "umph" to my look I reach for my Chanel lipstick!

 Left to Right

Chanel-93 Exaltee    L'Oreal-175 Rose Taffeta   Fresh-Sugar Rose

Left to Right

PIXI-5 Radiant Rose  (From my firend's new makeup line no name yet) Revlon-180 Pink Pop  Mirenesse-4

These are my most recent favorites. The Pixi tinted lip balm beats all others like it. This color is beautiful for Fall and it stays on for at least 8hrs a day without drying out the lips. 

When it comes to lip glosses one thing that I cannot stand is when your hair gets stuck to your lips. Loose hair strands drag the lip gloss across your face and then your left with an unwanted shiny cheek. It's so annoying. I found these three babies didn't give me that problem. Currently obsessed!

Many of you beauties out there have requested to see my current favorite lip products at the moment and here they are.  I hope this helped some of you who are in the market for a new balm, gloss, or lipstick. I'm on my bf's laptop at his house while he's watching the Bears game hee hee.I should probably get off the computer now... I'm surprised I'm starting to get hungry already since we had a big lunch not too long ago. Let's see what's for dinner. Until next time! 

Much love, 

Belinda
