polynesian princess look

today i was bored and it was cloudy and i felt like putting on my floral romper and making myself look like a Hawaiian doll.


Face:
Benefit concealer that looks like a record 
Mac Mineralize Skin Finish in Medium Plus 
Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer 
Mac Fleur Power Blush
Mac Peaches Blush
Urban Decay Shimmer Cream in Sin on the tops of my cheekbones

Eyes:
Too Face Shadow Insurance
Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study (my new favorite thing)
Mac Beautiful Iris eyeshadow on the outer corner and crease
Bobbi Brown eyeshadow in Bone all over the lid

and nothing on the lips!!
Maybe its a little much, but I feel tropical.

Starting Anew!!!

After coming home from a quite unhealthy week in New York, I decided to start a new lifestyle! I always try to be healthy in what I do but sometimes temptation does get the best of me and I end up taking way much more than I need.

Whenever I start these ' cleanses' I always start on Mondays and end up failing by Wednesday, so tomorrow (Tuesday) will be the first day of my 'diet' or whatever I wanna call it. My mom recently ordered the p90x system which I will do right when I finish breakfast tomorrow. Hopefully I can keep up this routine, with exercise and eating better and maintain a healthy lifestyle for quite some time now. Although I always say this, I truly mean it because of how bad I have been doing lately.

Newest Lip Combo Obsession

hey friends,

lately i've been obsessed with mixing lipsticks to create the perfect hue for my emotion or feeling that day. Sometimes one is just not enough and i want the love to be spread. i recently acquired my first beautiful ysl lipstick. it is a rouge volupte in shade 2
ever since losing my MAC hue lipstick, i was lacking a nude lip.  the formulation of this is magnificent, probably the most moisturizing and pigmented lipstick i've ever tried. it applies like a dream and give the perfect sexy nude lip.

sometimes during the day when i'm not full on with my makeup and maybe only wearing foundation and eyeliner, this can be a little much. it is an opaque nude so it can seem a little dramatic for just running errands or even work. this is when i pull out its best friend. MACs new sheen supreme line, in the color Gotta Dash.

this looks more orange in pictures but it is actually a beautiful pinky coral. their sheen supremes are almost the same type of formulation as the ysl rouge voluptes, creamy and moisturizing. i love pairing these two together to tone down the nude. the combo creates a beautiful peachy nude that seems perfect for the changing of seasons into spring. 

bad quality but you see my point about the peachy pink nude. no gloss on that either, both lipsticks are so shiny and creamy that a gloss would be no use. 


anyways, GOTTA DASH KIDS <3
