Back to school Haul

Hello, doves and I have a super duper blog for you! It's a back to school haul. (I know contain your excitement) Is it just me or I have this really weird obsession of getting school supplies it makes me feel great of having the smell of new notebooks and the clicks of pens and pencils. But, before I get carried away with my nerdy obsessions lets get into to the haul. Most my supplies I got from target or otherwise from an other store which the name will be included.
The first thing I got that I think it's the most important is the bookbag. I got a samsonite wheeled bookbag that my parents purchased on amazon. But before you go all nerd alert on me. . Let me explain why I love this bookbag , one is the color which is this ombre purple of a rich vilot to an lilac. Second all the pockets that the bookbag had which it has I think it had around 5 pockets. Third, the comfort of not carrying books in your back especially if you have a long comute like I do. And, last the reason i like the most oils that you can hide the wheels and handle. And, no one notices that you have a wheeled bookbag, and no on will be pointing to you hour some f geek.
And back to the supplies I got:
Two 1 and a half inch binders in turquoise and avocado green.
Three one subject Meade notebooks in pink, blue, and green.
Two packs of dividers.
Four packs of college ruled loose paper.
One pink accordion folder.
Four packs of lined index cards( I go through them like crazy)
One pocket size hand sanitizer.
All of these products were on sale in target.
Then in the dollar store (deals) which is a great place to buy I got
A pack of 30 mechanical pencils (for 3 bucks holla)
One pack of four bic black retractable pens for two dollars which these pens I like.
One pack of 2 of blue roller ball pens
for a buck.

Then on RadioShack I got a pair of magenta earphones with a mic for 8 dollars. Which comes in darn cool packaging of a little wheel.

And last but not least 4 packs of retractable hilighters that I got a while back. On clearance for 25 cents! So me the inner nerd I got 4 packs.
And my go to book right now is the Kite Runner (BUY THIS BOOK). One word amazing!
And the little knickknacks which such as sticky notes paper clips and staples will be stole from my dad's office when I need them (insert soundtrack laugh)
I hope you enjoyed my haul blog comment if you have any questions comment or simply any suggestions I will love to read these in the comments.
See you later my little doves

Foundation Review

Hello my, doves sorry I have been updating like I usually do its been a crazy week with my internship and school organization. But, Im back! (cue confetti) and I have a foundation review just for you! It's the Fit Me Foundation by Maybelline. It retails 7-9 dollars is local drugstores. And it comes in a variety of shades around 15 shades which is really great because most foundations comes in 5-6 shades. I was really skeptical on picking my shade because I felt it was going to be really dark shade for me. ( Im shade 310 Or sun beige) But, it fit perfectly for me which is a big plus for me. Also, a big plus for me is the coverage was really it's medium- full coverage. But, the problem you could cant built as much because it tends to get really shiny. So I recommend when your applying the product a dime size amount. Which is plenty for my personal opinion. You definitely have to apply a setting powder or pressed powder after this foundation. I like to use NYC smooth finish loose powder. Or translucent powder which I know elf sells for around 6 bucks. The longevity of this foundation (may I say) is around 3-4 hours, with the setting powder. So i recommend using a setting spray. urban decay has Great ones but if your much more leaning to the drugstore side elf has one which is good too.
This product has a liquidly feel and one con I have it doesn't have a pump to get the product out. Which could be quite messy if your not careful. But, I love the packaging it looks like a high end product. I do recommend this product for people who wants coverage but wants look natural and feel natural. The warning is that if your going to apply this product with your fingers the product will stain your fingers. I really don't know why?
But, overall I will rate this product
4.4 doves out of 5

Garnier B.B Cream Review

So, all the YouTube beauty gurus has been raving bb creams, especially this one by garnier which is called the "Skin renew miracle skin perfector bb cream." All the raves on bb cream has been hitting the shelves in the US after successfully conquering Asian markets. Makeup brands like maybeline and covergirl has been introducing them since last year. BB cream stands for blemish balm. The purpose of a bb cream is to smooth and brighten your skin with the benefit of not putting foundation. The garnier bb cream claims to accomplish 5 things:
Renews radiance
Brightens complexion
Even skin tones and blurs Imperfections
Hydrates for 24 hrs
And protects you from sunlight with having SPF. 15
This creams comes into two colors light to medium- and medium to deep.
It ranges from $10-16 in local drugstores. And, here are my 2 cents. Honestly I like the feel of the cream it feels like a moisturizer, but you have to wait until it dries to apply any other make. I do admit it very hydrating. I wouldn't recommend for people with oily skin using this product. But, with dry to normal skin it is okay. The cream might come a little dark for some people, even my self and I medium skin tone found a little bit dark, so I really recommend of blending it in to your skin with your fingers to have a more natural effect. What I really like of this products it does blur of my redness and hyper-pigmentation I do have in my nose and cheek. But, I will like to have a little bit more coverage under my eye circles. It does even out skin tones, but remember to blend. The cream has a scents that is a little bit strong for me. Sounds, silly but, it really does smell like baby wipes.
I also, like this product because it could be used also my face primer and leaves a dewy finish. I thinks it's a great product for a person who is on the go and is looking for some coverage.

I will give this product 4 out of 5 doves.

Please comment if you like this review or your own thoughts in this product. Also, comment for a request if you want me to review a product or any suggestions for a future product.

Beauty Bargain

Hello, my little doves I have a beauty Bargain just for you! Oh how exciting this beauty bargain will be including 3 pairs of earrings which are adorable to start the new school year. Don't worry this purchase will not sting your wallet nor break your budget. ( we all know earrings could get a little bit pricy)
All of the earrings at were purchase in forever 21 for 8 bucks. As my mother will say que ganga! (which is Spanish for what a steal. The first pair are cream and gold colored earrings that's are shaped as flower petals. The price was $3.80 which is not bad at all. The thing I like about these earrings that their subtle but pretty. This looks great for a first day of school or the sundress with cropped jean jacket look ( if you know what I'm saying). The second pair of earrings are gold and peach teardrop earrings. They were priced at $1.80. I really like this because their look girly and flirty and mama I ain't turning 30 (sorry I got carried away) and for the price I love it even more. The last pair which are my favorites are these silver and turquoise which were priced at $2.80. I love these because they have this tribal hippie feel, whith the detailing and stone. They are very relaxed and practically can go with any outfit. Like this blog tell me in the comments or leave me any suggestions on what you guys want in this back to school series blogs.

Back to school look!

Ladies, you know that time is here again.. The beginning of a new school year yay! I love September the smell of new notebooks and the brightness of new hilighters. Makes me feel special. But, also to kickoff the new school year I'm going to get you a step by step tutorial on a natural back to school look. This is could be used as a beginners to makeup kit. Which is perfect for middle schoolers and highschoolers.
First, the most important step is to have a clean face. So wash your face with your favorite cleanser.
Second, Since you want to look natural I would recommend using a bb cream. It feels light and refreshing. And, you could skip all the steps of moisturizing and priming your face. Also, it brightens your face. My favorite is the garnier bb cream. It has medium coverage and it's buildable to your desire coverage. Without looking cake face.
Third, add a concealer, for any dark circles or blemishes. Really good ones is revlon photo ready concealer, Sonia kashuk hidden agenda, and hard candy glamafouge concealer. And blend it out with your ring finger or concealer brush
Fourth, you want a hint of color, Im really liking jordana cream blushes. They come a variety of shades. My favorite is rose petal, so pretty and do cheap.
Fifth, for eyes I like the NYC shadow quads my favorite is the metro collection in the south seaport. Just apply the fourth color all over the lid. And, the white in the inner corners of your eye.(But, not to much) and the purple i use it as a pop of color in TNT waterline (aka where you put the eyeliner). It comes with an applicator but, it's not the best you could use an elf brush. Which is only a buck. Then, I add mascara the best one right now is the maybeline plush mascara.
And, the last step is the lips. I love maybeline baby lips in the bright pink or in grape vine.
And, TaDa your done fresh face for school.
All these products, you could purchase in the drugstore. I hope this help slots for starters in makeup or looking for a natural look.

Leave any comments below if you want me to review any products that I mention and tell me how this look worked for you. I love to hear it,

See you later my doves

They have lipsticks eyeshadows and brushes and the what-nots. While, I was waiting line, i found these lipsticks and I as like what the hell? And, for a buck fifty it wouldn't sting my wallet. So, I go home and open this up and the color is so pretty (picture below). It's shade coral-pink or #4. Then it Hit me it's the perfect dupe for la prairie lipstick in midnight rose.( a color to die for) It usually retails for $55 in Saks or Bloomingdales. The lipstick glides on and it's pigmented. The only thing it does last more than an 1 hr and a half. But, it's what you what you get. I'm not complaining for the great price. Definitely you guys should check it out. Also, in this line you could find urban decay naked palette dupes. If you want a review on that leave the comments below.
I will give this a 3.5 out of 5 for price and color.

A Tarte Miracle!

Before I buy a makeup product,I do extensive research (I mean extensive!) the reason behind this Is I want to spend my money on something I will regret buying.( so don't call me stingy) I was looking for a great concealer that will actually cover my dark circles. Personally I have extremely dark circles due to hereditary reasons. And I was desperate looking for some cure. And I found it! It's called a Tarte Maracuja creaseless concealer and it comes it different shades. The price is 24 dollars in Sephora. Which is a little pricy but totally worth it. After rave reviews on blogs and YouTube. I decided to check it out. Believe me it's amazing probably my holy grail product. It a thick consistency and very creamy and very blendable. Covers extremely well, and it this be bright effect which I love. You only need like a smidge and your perfect. The only thing I kinda dislike is you really need to squeeze to get product out. ( sorry I hate squeezing my new products). But, you have to buy it not a regret is a repurchase.
If you have any questions please ask in the comments and the pictures are down below. I'm in the shade medium and it's 0.42 oz pretty good!
