Updated Brow tutorial

Image
I have always been changing the way i do my eyebrows , and through out the years i think i found the way to do it for me. It looks more natural and i have been doing it for a couple of months now, I feel that doing the actual fill in with a pencil is so much easier and leaves a more natural finish then to just filling in with the dipbrow. I switch from the brow wiz and maybelline eyebrow pencil from time to time . I use to have really thin eyebrows so I had to grow them out . I get my brows threaded and wax maybe every 6 months and in between those months I trimmed them and pluck them on my own so I could keep the shape that took me so long to grow lol  I'll post the products I use below ABH DIPBROW - DARK BROWN ABH BROW WIZ - DARK BROWN ABH BROW BRUSH #12 MORPHE BRUSH #B23 - SPOOLIE BRUSH BH COSMETICS BRUSH # 128 SEPHORA GEL SERUM CONCEALER - SHADE 12 PECAN PIE BENEFIT GIMMIE BROW #3 RITE AID RENEWAL FLATBRUSH YOU COULD ALSO USE MAYBELLINE 'S DE

Blue Agave Restaurant

Image
On Sunday my boyfriend took me out as a early anniversary date (it was on Monday our anniversary ) . To be honest I was not gonna blog about it because I did not really think that anyone would be interested in restaurants BUT this place is amazing that I have to write about it. I'm from New York ,living in Brooklyn there are many yummy places to go eat at , so sometimes it's hard to choose which spot exactly we want to eat at. We decided we wanted to go to bayridge,it's a neighborhood in Brooklyn. We wanted to check out the restaurants there and see what caught our eye. We came upon this place called the Blue Agave Resturant ,it is a hidden resturant on 3rd Ave and 72nd street    Entrance Entering we were greeted by a waiter who asked us if we would like to sit out back outside or stay inside in the front, we decided to sit out and it had such a nice home-ish garden feel. They had blue LED lights framed all over the fence. It was cozy ! Now for the good part , THE FOOD ! I

DIY - VANITY

Image
Im pretty sure that everyone that is into makeup, wants their own space where you could do your makeup and hair & store your makeup. For such a long time I have wanted a vanity and I always searched on what type of desks and mirrors I could use and also searched on DIY'S. I have found many beautiful ones. I think that making your own vanity is way more economic than to just order a vanity that is already made [ they are priced from $300 to $500 ]. So I recently went to Ikea in search for wall decor so I could place my nail polishes and "suprisingly" I  came out with a whole bunch of other things. My mom hates it when I do that, she always says me and my sisters are terrible shoppers because we buy the first thing we see lol. I found a chest of drawers that I really liked and it was also on sale. I didnt really want the big desk because i read reviews where alot of people said that it starts coming off with time.  [The name is Lote and it is still on sale ! http://

Summer Vacation

Image
This summer I went on vacation to Mexico with my boyfriend and we had such an incredible time . It's truly such a beautiful place . I'm so proud of being Mexican and love finding out more about my heritage , my cousin offered to take us to places as well as other family members (thank you George and tshitshiki i love you guys !) . This time around we stayed in Mexico for two weeks when we first arrived we went to Mexico City I get amazed every time I go  This is the statue rather known as "el angel de la independecia " in the heart of Mexico City , lights come on in the night time . The roads make a circle around it.  This is inside the basilica de la virgen de Guadalupe. It's one of my favorite places to visit when I go , many people from around the world come to pray here  Through out the trip I went to the silver city which is located in Guerrero Mx ,the grutas (caves) , Cuatla, Oaxaca ,huahuapan, chinantla and of course my beautiful town named Ahuehuetitla. It

un boxing my first voxbox from influenster

Image
About a month ago I was reading reviews on the Sephora app where I saw that some people were saying that they received products from influenster , which I sign up for I recently received my first voxbox from influenster (thank you so much !) the box contain maybelline's super stay 24 color lipsticks in the shades 025-keep up the flame and the color 136 constant toast This is the box that came in the mail The two lipsticks that I received , keep up the flame is a beautiful red that I think would go with every complexion ,the lipsticks are double ended on one end is a balm stick and the other end the lipstick I love this because personally I like to put a balm under before I put any lipstick , they go on really smooth and easy I would say that this lipshade dries matte I'm not sure if the darker shades are matte but I really love this color with and without the balm it turns out to be a different tones of red if you use with out the balm,  as for constant toast I was exp

FIRST BRUSHES I EVER USED

Image
 When I was in junior high , my cousin who is the same age as me started using eyeliner and mascara so I clearly wanted to try makeup also my mom who was super strict didn't allow it till one day I did it without her permission and she let me go out like that I of course thought I was sooooo cute . My sister was the one that told me that I look like a panda with eyeliner all over my eyes because I clearly didn't line my eyes good ! My mom knew this all long lol I let the makeup idea go away I didn't really use makeup in high school just the simple mascara and some lipstick till towards the last year of high school I started watching YouTube videos and really really got into it , so I didnt know what was a good brush with a decent price  . I heard eco tools being mention but I didn't quite fell in love with them .    On a trip to rite aid I headed first into the makeup section and saw that rite aid had its own brush brand RITE AID RENEWAL . I decided to buy a stippling

BROWS AND MORE BROWS

Image
I am an absolute makeup addict , as I know many of you do understand . I am personally all about lashes and brows I swear girls !! If my brows and lashes are looking right then let me tell you I am having a glorious day !! Who agrees with me ? Just like everything else in make up everyone has a different technique I for example can not for the life of me fill in my brows with a pencil . I think I'm just heavy handed but I end up looking like I have bushes LOL !!  In high school I use to use eyeshadow but of course I would use shimmer shadows LOL let me live girls I was experimenting but since then I have learned , and I abs prefer powder over anything else for my brows . I love love love LOVE !! The wet & wild brow kit . I use the ash brown one , and use the dark color one , I start by lining the natural shape of my eyebrow and then using what is left on the brush I start defining my brows , I always do the front of my eyebrows last so I could have more of a natural look
