Baby Making & More


My favorite wedding picture...









So yeah...hubby and I are trying to make a baby!!! WOOOHOOO! lol....please send us baby blessing dusts or whatever powder will bring the stork our way. Haha.
Anyways, hubby surprised me last week with a trip to Florida so that we can visit my mom. It's the first time my hubby will meet my mom so I was a little nervous but I knew for a fact that she would love him....and she did! Oh and the oranges and grapefruits in Florida are the BEST ever! So sweet and juicy...not too tart for my taste.
I'm expecting my e.l.f. package sometime this week...it's taking forever but I just love getting stuff in the mail! Don't you? It's like Christmas. ^_^

Purple is Lovely...Just Lovely


Hello ladies! I just wanted to update you guys on the latest about my life. It's been real crazy lately. School has been hectic and it's nearing the end! FINALLY! I can breathe! Well I still have to get through the finals and a couple of oral presentations. I'm taking a full load of classes so I've been one busy ladeee...haha. Hubby and I have been spending time whenever we're not so busy though so I guess it's not so bad. I just love him so much! Today we went to watch the movie "2012." It was scary but at the same time it left people with mixed emotions. At least that's how I felt. There were some funny moments which I thought were inappropriate but I guess the director didn't want to scare the people and cause panic. It's a must see so yeah I recommend it.
So here was my date look for the night. I did a purple makeup look.

I used Painterly paint pot as my base. The eye shadows I used were Illegal Cargo (Crease & outer V), Stars 'N Rockets (Outer Corner), Vellum (Lid), Parfait Amour (Crease), Knight Divine (Crease), and Vanilla (Brow bone highlighter). I line my eyes with Engraved power point liner on the bottom and top lash lines but only halfway, as well as for tight lining.

For my face I used White Multi BB as base, Studio Sculpt Concealer, CoverBlend Concealer for under eyes, Medium Dark Natural/Shimmer MSF, Perfect Topping MSF (highlight), Chanel Natural Finish Loose Powder (To Set), and Accentuate & Sculpt Powder. I used Mineralized blush in Pleasantry for my cheeks. For my lips I used Mac lipstick in Angel and Heatherette lip gloss in Starlet Kiss.



Ta-ta for now chikas! =D Have an awesome weekend.
GO PAC-MAN!

Inexpensive but Fab Purple Nail Color + Hair Growth

Hey lovely ladies! So I just wanted to write a quick "mini" review about this uberrrrr cheap nail polish called Wet 'n' Wild Shine. It's sold for about $1.25 at drugstores and some super markets out there. You can purchase it online as well.
Pros: Cute color selection. I'm wearing this purple one with tiny pink glitters in them and it's called Wild Orchid. It has a metal ball inside so it un-clumps the nail polish liquid whenever you shake it. It also dries up pretty fast. However, the best thing about this product is the price...I mean seriously, where can you find a cheap nail polish these days??? Most of them range from $5 to $8! Heck I could be using that money for gas! lol
Cons: The only thing I don't like about this nail polish is the fact that it takes several coats to reach the color's fullest potential. I would say approximately 3 or 4 should do it.
Final Verdict: I own 4 Wet 'n' Wild nail polishes and I'm pretty pleased with them. I don't mind putting several coats because you have to do that with most nail polish brands out there anyways.



Just wanted to share some pictures to show you guys how much my hair has grown in the last couple of months. The picture below was taken around May of this year and ever since I got my hair cut, my hair has been growing at a much slower rate than usual. In fact, my fall outs have increased slightly compared to when I had longer hair.


As my attempt to grow my hair at a much faster rate, I opted not to use as much of hair styling products and tools. Although, there is a visible decrease in split ends I still couldn't grow my hair faster.

This picture was taken last month (don't mind the random "stare at the corner" expression =p).
Since last month, I have been taking Nature's Made Women's vitamins, been drinking a lot of water, and I only wash my hair 3 times a week, skipping 2 days. I have also switched to Viologie Shampoo and Conditioner (CVS brand $3.99 per 12.6 oz bottle).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was taken today. You can see here that my hair has grown considerably within a month.

BEST HAUL EVERRR! In my "book" anyways


The cutest thing ever! A froggy USB for my school documents. Best 20 bucks I could ever spend since I have a fetish for froggy stuffies.

So I got my school supplies a week before school starts (which was this Monday that just passed) and I wasn't able to post up the pics...til' today. I didn't get to take a picture of all the school goodies cause I had to make more than one trip all through out the week. Not much missing though, just my lab coat and goggles.


So how awesome is this OGIO messenger bag?! It's so freakin' cute! I love the sakura and prince stripe design. It screams serious yet girlie all at the same time. It has a lot of pockets for just about everything you want to store and if you look inside it will have a symbol of what actually goes inside that specific pocket so no guess work needed! It has a specially designed compartment for your cell phone, makeup, water bottle, jewelry, envelopes, agenda book, and pens/pencils.

I like the soft, sturdy feel of the bag. It's even safe enough for my beloved mac book because the inside is padded with soft cushioning. I paid $60 for this treasure and I just love it!

If you wanna check out OGIO bags for yourself...you can do so at their website OGIO and you can purchase their bags at eBags

I was ecstatic to find out that I had gotten 3 used books (used saves moolah) however my momentary bliss was stripped away after I found out that the bookstore sales dude gave me the wrong books...so I had to return the wrong books and ended up buying only 1 Used available book. Sucks for me....cause books are so expensive!


Now I leave you ladies with a couple of random pics....
My hubby Marco...life is better with you by my side.


Chillen' with gal pal Kat! Your a ball of fun lady! I'm gonna miss those party nights.


One of my most recent paintings...hope you guys like it! Tah-tah for now loves!

Night Out Makeup Look

Went to watch a live band play last Saturday at Rene's. His cousin (now also my cousin) plays and sings in the band so we went to see him perform.




Here is my FOTD...

I applied MAC paint pot Rubenesque and Too Faced Shadow Insurance for my eye base/primer and MAC Sharkskin shade stick on my crease.
I used MAC e/s Solar White as my brow bone highlighter and around my tear duct area.
Then I applied MAC e/s Amber lights on my crease, NYX matte black e/s on top of the Amber Lights e/s, and then apply MAC Fresh Green Mix mineralized e/s on the middle of lid. Apply black track fluid line to top (completely) and bottom lash lines (half way).

I used Coverblend concealer and MAC mineralized powder. For my cheek colors, I applied MAC blush in Hipness and Solar Riche Bronzer.



Hope you all had a great weekend! Muuuahhhh! Love y'all muchos.
