Bill's Cafe

I'm a sucker for diners & had to go to Bill's Cafe in Willow Glen after my sister was raving about how delicious the food was! Not only was the food great, but so was the atmosphere (that's if you sit outside, inside was not my forte).

Make Up Forever HD Foundation

Since I was running low on my typical Lancome foundation, I started looking around for a foundation that would give me long lasting coverage. Since I love love love their HD concealer & take tons of pictures, I decided to try out Make Up Forever's HD foundation. 

                 

It's invisible HD, so it photographs well, but since my skin is super dry it didn't do much for me. The benefits? It's a 2 in 1 foundation (apply one layer for daily wear & two layers for full coverage, can't beat that!) & it is available in over 25 shades. I wear 120-soft sand and it matches my skin tone perfectly. Cons? It doesn't do justice for people with dry skin, unless you apply tons of moisturizer & primer. Don't get me wrong, its a great foundation, it just tends to enhance my dryness a little too much. If you're skin isn't anywhere close to dry or very dry, you will definitely love this product, otherwise steer clear! Hope this helps!

My favorite "go to" outfit

CLASSIC!

I love love love a classic outfit & nothing screams out classic more than a striped top! My favorite contrast color with stripes (black & white) is definitely red. I'm not a fan of red shoes because I personally think they look cheap on 95% of the population, so I tend to go for a bold red lip & matching red nail-polish. It just looks effortless and classier. Add a bold structured bag with nude flats and you're good to go. Definitely my go to outfit that never fails, you can practically wear it anywhere! Absolutely love!

Maybelline vs. Mac

For me, eyeliner is a necessity. But the real question is Maybelline or Mac? Sure, the Mac's gel liner is a great product, BUT it appears grey & it doesn't last all day. That's when I started to do some research and came across Maybelline's eye studio gel eyeliner and fell in love! Truly, madly, deeply. Not only does the Maybelline gel eyeliner last all day, it also comes with a brush and that too for less than $10, can you say steal?! 

I'm more of an all liquid eyeliner type of girl, but for something to wear everyday, gel is the way to go. Here you can see the difference between the two eyeliners (Mac on the left, Maybelline on the right). I think it's safe to say that Maybelline wins. It is much darker and has a much smoother texture/finish. The best thing about Mac's? The container & the fact that it's Mac, other than that, nothing. Personally, I prefer Maybelline's eyeliner. Mac's not so much. 

                 

                  

Packaging & comparison. Mac definitely wins in the Marketing department!

Nail color of the week!

Hey guys, sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I've just been super busy with life, okay maybe not so much since i've literally been sleeping in and watching tv & movies until 3 in the morning (all while stuffing my face with junk food) for the past week - gotta love spring break, but now back to routine (hopefully wink wink)! Anyways, I've wanted to do a nail color of the week blogpost since I have tons & tons of nail-polishes and I find myself changing my nail color on a daily basis (maybe I should just do a nail of the day blogpost, hmmm? lol). On my nails this week is Sparrow Me The Drama by OPI.

This is suchhhh a pretty color, I absolutely love it because it's a very subtle yet girly pink. I usually stick to darker shades like blacks, reds and browns, but this color has definitely made it's way into my top 5 favorite nail-polishes of all time (blogpost on that coming soon!). I tried to find as much natural light as possible to show off the natural color of the nail-polish, but I think I may have captured too much light, oops!

  

Please don't mind my cuticles and the skin around them, I forgot to apply cuticle oil so my skin may appear a bit dry. Hope you guys like this color as much I do. Enjoy!

Make Up For Ever HD Concealer

Okay, i'm obsessed! After months of searching for a concealer that has high coverage without looking greyish or cakey, I finally came across Make Up Forever's HD concealer and fell in love! This is the absolute perfect concealer for any type of long event and best of all, it doesn't wear off! The HD is perfect because not only does it brighten the undereye, it also gives off a fresh-faced look instead of looking powdery and dry. (I hateee when that happens!) I've tried various concealers such as Mac's studio finish, select cover up, Bobbi Brown's corrector and Make Up Forever's full cover concealer, but none of them seemed to do the trick. Love love love! 

This isn't your typical concealer, so when applying you have to twist the tube and the concealer will come out of the dot on the opposite end (remember, the more you twist, the more the concealer). 

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!
