What do you Wear to a Cave Restaurant?

Hey girl hey! Lol. So this weekend is my birthday weekend and I'm spending it with my boyfriend. When he gets off work today, we are planning on going to a restaurant that's in a cave! Yes, a cave. I'm super excited. 
So anyways, I figured I'd do a blog and talk about a few things while I get ready for our night out. 
Let's start with one of the most amazing eyeshadow palette out. Morphe Brushes Jaclyn Hill's Favorites. I'm in love! This palette is just so smooth and pigmented. It is worth the hype! The colors are beautiful. It's probably my favorite palette I own. :) I used one of Jaclyn Hill's tutorials on it. Here's the link. https://youtu.be/JRhZqiead6k
Next I just did my normal routine. Nothing special, but I did do a full face of makeup. I also did my eyebrows. I'm not sure if I did them right but I think they look decent. It's a work in progress trying to figure that out. 
I'm gonna rave about one more thing, Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Lolita! I'm late on the Loitia train...I know! But wow this is perfect nude matte lip. I love it. I've searched Sephora 3 times looking for this and FINALLY found it. I'm beautiful so no wonder why it's so rare to find. 
Anyways this blog is basically a couple of quick reviews and a makeup of the day. :) hope you all have a great weekend! :) 
 
The mascara I used is Beauty Rush from Victroia's Secret. I'm not sure if it is still being sold, I've had it a while. 
Overall look. :)

Chipped nail polish rescue! ... Maybe?

Hey guys! A new nail art idea, well I'm putting sure it's been around for a while but I decided to do something different for me. One of the worst thing about painting your nails is when it chips. I hate when that happens! So tonight I was too lazy to take off the polish I put on Friday night. Such a disappointment when polish only lasts 3 days. Maybe I have high expectations? 
Anyways I decided to try and save my polish that was already on my nails. I originally had Essie Master Plan, which is a purplely gray color. I came up with this random idea of using office hole reinforcement labels, you know, the lil white circle stickers when you tear a hole in your paper. I put those towards the bottom of my nail to make a small semi circle. I used them as a guide to prevent my polish going where I didn't want it to. I then painted my nails with a red OPI color. I don't have the name of it because it was a very small mini bottle and there is no name on it. Sorry! But it's a bright pretty red, reminds me of latino Miami red dresses. I'm weird. Lol. So I put two coats of this red color on and then when my nails fully dried, I took the stickers off. Then top coat it. I wouldn't recommend doing this if you don't have a lot of time. This took probably 45 minutes if you count the first time I painted my nails with the Essie Master Plan color. But I would like to see what it would look like with fresh painted nails all together, no original chipped paint. :) 

Basic hole reinforcements. Just in case you didn't understand what I meant. 

Love these colors together. 

This is my left hand. I couldn't hold my iPad and take a pic of my right hand. Just not talented enough. 



So I basically like how it all turned out. :) It was a lil rough around the edges of the stickers, but I learned you push very hard on them and I also used the end of a nail file to press the striker into the edge of my nail. That was where I found it to be worse in the beginning. I'll be trying this again!

Blooming with Boxycharm!

Basically Boxycharm had me had over heels in the month of April! I can't gush over this box enough. Boxycharm did an amazing job this month. 
The theme for April is the bloom, as in April flowers blooming. I sure think it definitely bloomed for this month. Okay, enough gushing, let's get to what's inside!




First the Costal Scemts Revealed 2 Palette - this is a wonderful eye shadow palette, just as good as the Revealed 1 Palette that was given a few months ago. There are a great amount of shimmers and matte colors in it. The palette comes with 20 shadows that can complete many looks on its own. I can't wait to start youtubing some great looks using it. 

Top shades all in order, left to right. I love the sixth shade. It's a pretty matte color. I did notice that the last two shades look very similar. 
Bottom shades all in order, left to right. Ideally like all these matte shades! The second to last reminds me so much of the Naked 3 platte. 


Second the OFRA Derma Mineral Powder - okay...I was a lil disappointed with this one at first. There were two different products you could've gotten from OFRA, it was a shimmer brick with, I think four colors, or the loose powder. I wanted the shimmer brick. I'm just not very good with loose powders. Now that I've gotten the powder, it's alright. It can be used as a highlight for the top of the check bones and the eyes. Boxycharm even gave a tip to use it down the shins of your legs to make them look longer and pretty? Idk if I'll be doing that, but I may give it a try. However, there is so much product! This will last me forever, I'm sure of it. Lol. 



Third the Vincent Longo Duo Lip Pencil - I'm really happy with this! It has two lip liner colors on it, purple and brandy. My favorite is brandy! I think it'll go great with nudes. The purple is pretty too. 

Left: purple 
Right: brandy


Fourth the Coolway Smoothing Lotion - this is a hair product that is suppose to create smooth, manageable hair with no frizz. I love it! You can use this product both, dry and wet. I prefer it dry. Let's talk about my hair, I have naturally curly hair. It use to look like Annie, ask Megan! So when I saw this I thought it would be prefect for those humid summer days. I first used it after taking a shower and straightening my hair. I them applied it to my hair and went outside at night. It should've been frizzed up and looked huge, but it didn't! I can't rave enough about this stuff. 


Last the Harvey Prince Mini Roller Fragrance - of course, this is in a travel size. At first I hated it, it smelled so strong! And had that awful old woman perfume smell...lol. But I used it again, let it mellow out and I like it. It smells much better now that it starts to lighten up over a lil bit of time. I think is will be a good throw in the purse roller perfume. 


All together there is so great products in this box for the month of April. Boxycharm blew me away. I basically like everything I got, still on the fence with the loose shimmer powder. But four outta five ain't bad at all. The total cost of this box at retail value is $150. If you're thinking about trying Boxycharm, I say give it a shot!
