Super Smokey Look/One of my Fave's B-Day!
Happy hump day everyone! Wednesday happens to be one of my favorite days of the week. IDK why, maybe because I was born on a Wednesday? Or because we are almost done with the work week? Anywho, this post is dedicated to one of my FAVORITE cousins, Ishmael! He recently turned 21 on the 15th of April and we went out last Friday to celebrate! We went to this trendy chinese food place in San Jose called Sinos and it was soooooo nice. I bit pricey for my taste, but I guess we were paying for the atmosphere. I'm the second oldest of 16 grandkids and I'm extremely close to my cousins. I tell them everything and we even party together sometimes. My little brother came back from UC Davis for the weekend and we had a lot of fun.

Tip of the day:Make Nail Color Pop!
Good morning loves! Here's my tip of the day:
Have you ever had a fab nail polish but have to glob on like three coats in order for the color to be opaque? Then have to wait like 3 hours for it to dry..and while waiting you brush your nail up against something to ruin all of your hard work?
Something that I like to do is use white nail polish as a base then put ONE coat of my pretty color on top of it. The white nail polish acts like a primer and a bare canvas so that anything on top of it is just PURE COLOR. Think about painting a wall, you want to use a primer right? Even with makeup...a whiter base makes your shadows that much brighter. You use less coats of your pretty color, and in turn, your nails dry faster! Your beloved nail polish lasts longer and you have more change in your pocket! Colors shown: Sally Hansen No Chip Acrylic top coat, Milani in Tropical Fiesta, Milani in White

Cranberry FOTD
Hay, hay, hay! I hope everyone's Easter was good. Mine sure was! I got to kick it with the fam bam and spend some QT with the baby daddy and the little bambino. Noelan officially started crawling yesterday on Easter Sunday so I'm just a happy mama right now. Time to baby proof! That little booger gets into anything and everything he can get his little saliva soaked hands on..haha. I did a look yesterday using the red velvet shadestick that I haven't touched yet and a color that I used to always rock....CRANBERRY! I forgot how much I loved this color and how pretty it is. It was a little pinker than I'd expected it because of the shadestick but nonetheless, it was still a great color. It made my hair look redder :) I dyed my hair over the weekend to fix my horrible roots and it turned out a lot lighter than I thought it would. My brows seem too dark for my hair now..what do you think? I've been using Embark e/s..I've also been using my Studio Fix Fluid again for the last couple of days but will STOP IMMEDIATELY because I've been noticing small bumps on my forehead after using it. I've never had this problem before but have heard of it happening so I think its time to retire my beloved foundation. I have normal skin and want something medium to full coverage..for a good price too of course. Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK LOVERS AND FRIENDS!

Have a dry and crusty gel liner?
Here's my tip for the day:
Are you down to the bottom of a gel liner and its hard to work with because it's so dry and crusty?
Simply spray some of MAC's Fix + in it and it instantly moistens that sucker up! When used on clients, I usually scoop a bit out and put in on the back of my hand. Then I spray one squirt of Fix+ on it and voila! It comes back to life and I remember why I loved fluidlines in the first place. Never use water thinking it will do the same thing because it won't and it will leave your gel liner drier than when you started.
Remember, a little bit goes a long way so don't get too spray happy or else the pigment wont transfer onto the skin and you'll get a big wet mess!
Later gators!

Rockstar Nails #2
Hello bloggers! This past weekend, I was looking down at my hands and said WTF? I had this mint green color on with some black zebra striping on from 2 weeks ago and it was literally grown the hell out! It was a bit too hoodrat for me so I decided to give myself a fill and some rockstar nails. The only problem was setting aside an hour to get them done. So on friday night, when the little one went to bed, I got my UV dryer out and went to work. I was going to do purple glitter but I decided to pull my crystalized orange out instead. In different lighting, it looks more tangeriney but here it looks pretty yellow.
MAC glitters used:
-Crystalized Orange
-Reflects Very Pink
-Turquoise
-Crystalized Yellow
If any of you are wondering, I'm wearing a Disney ring that says LOVE. Just thought I'd throw that out there :)

Christina Aguilera Look #2
Happy Monday everybody! I hope everyone had a good weekend. I myself spent it doing makeup and shopping...what's not to love!? I did a couple of gigs for my bestie and one of her AKA sorority sisters. It was her birfday and she wanted all eyes on her! I'll post that later on. I decided to do another Christina Aguilera look because I love how her makeup is always soooooo gorgeous. She's definately not afraid to take risks and I love that about her. Ultimately, I wiped off the red lips and changes to a bright magenta lip just because it went with what I was wearing that day. It was such a "UGH" look just cuz I still couldn't wear black liner. It would've looked so much better! Black liner, oh how I've missed you! Look at that pic..I love her pixie bangs. I would totally rock them but I'm scared that I might look a bit too asian :)
Products used (All MAC except lashes):
-Studio Fix Fluid in NC40
-Select Moisturecover concealer in NW25
-MSF powder in Med Plus
-Line Filler (really don't know how to use it yet:))
-Gingerly blush
-Bare Study PP
-Cosmic e/s (lid)
-Tempting e/s (crease/lower lash)
-Texture e/s (crease)
-Espresso e/s (outer)

Have a good week lovers and friends!

Happy 8 Months to Noelan!
It's April 2nd and it happens to mark the 8th month from when my son Noelan Steven was born. We woke up together this morning at about 5:30 am and sang "Happy Birthday" to him and danced. He loved it and was all smiley. I've been feeling rather guilty lately because while Mommy and Daddy are at work from 7am-3:30pm, he is at the babysitter's house from about 6:15am-4:15pm. This week in particular has been terrible for me because I've had cheer practice all week from 4:30pm-7:00pm. When I get home, the baby is just unwinding and getting ready for his slumber. I don't get to spend much time with him at it just breaks my heart. Cheer is over this week and I can't wait. I won't be returning next year as their coach and I'm sooooooo ready to spend the time needed with my adorable son. These 8 months have flown by and I even started crying the other night when he started scooting for the first time. I don't want my baby to grow anymore but I just remind myself that he won't be this size and age ever again so I should cherish every moment; even though I may cry for time to myself once in a while. I thought it would be cool to see how he's grown these past few months.
Here's a shot of our little family as soon as I gave birth on August 2nd. 38 hours of labor! Its a sense of relief like no other.


This is at my parent's house and he was about 2.5 months here.





Sorry for this not being beauty related...actually, scratch that! My son is the most BEAUTIFUL thing on this planet to me! Have a great 2nd of the month everyone!
