Jojoba oil

      It's safe to say I have ran the gamut of products, to try and make my skin look radiant. I've bought all sorts of expensive stuff and many different drug store bargain items.  But I have to say Jojoba oil is by far my fave.  I mean this stuff is just ugh-maze-zing!! 

    I started using this oil about a year an half ago, when I first got pregos with my daughter. I had always hear positive stuff about it, but never tried it to see for myself.  I use it to take my makeup off everyday.  I also use it as a moisturizer after I've washed my face.   My skin is pretty dry, especially the thin skin around my nose and this oil is a great natural way to make your skin look and feel radiant!!   I also use it on my body after the shower.   I used it the entire time I was pregnant ( along with Mama Mio -by Tracy Anderson) and I didn't get one stretch mark while I was pregnant!  As an added bonus your boyfriend or husband can use it as an after shave.  

  Here's a picture of this little geam! I got it from Trader Joe's for just $7.99! 

Vans and Chucks always in-style

Growing up in the nineties, I've owned quite a few pairs of Vans and Converse all-stars.  I feel like these are the shoes that seem to never go out of style.  Even in 2014, I see people of all ages rockin' these shoes.  Below are a few different ways to style this easy stable in your wardrobe, by some of my fave celebrities.

Copy Cat Bags for LESS! ALDO & Target

Ever since I could remember I have always loved designer bags. Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch, Betsey Johnson, Rebecca Minkoff the list could go on forever!  But I don't always want to spend a lot on a bag, especially if I purchase it for a particular outfit. 

So below are some bags, within everyones budget, and are just as chic as any of the designers I listed above.   

This bag is from ALDO and is perfect for the spring and summer!

The Seidenbecker Tote comes in Light Brown, Navy, Medium Purple, Black, Beige, Light Green or Black Synthetic.

Purchase your Seidenbecker on ALDO.com

This bag is only $40! What a steal!

Here's a Betsey Johnson Bag that goes for about $118! 

This next bag is one I just discover the other day while shopping at  Tarjay.  You can get this baby for $22.99 and I think it's worth every penny. It looks like a Rebecca Minkoff!

Here's a Rebecca Minkoff  bag below.  This bag goes for about $200!

I just saw this bag at Nordstrom  (the Tory Burch) a few months ago and fell in love with it! Then, a few days ago I saw the look alike at no other than Tarjay! You could own this baby for a cool $34!!

Here's the look alike by Tory Burch, that would set you back about $435!

I could literally go on forever, but these are just a few I found recently.  I plan on doing a "Copy Cat for Less," whenever I see bags or other articles of clothing that could pass for a "not so budget friendly item."

Nite-nite sweet dreams. Muah  

Matte colors- The new fashion craze I just LOVE!

 I haven't blogged in a while, and I really miss sharing my ideas.  For those of you who don't know, I am a Mommy now! My daughter Shea, is now three months, almost four and I am absolutely crazy about this little girl.  She melts my heart everyday and I can't believe she's mine to keep.  Well, I share her with my husband of course!  

This weeks blog is about Matte! Matte for your eyes, matte for your lips, matte for your cheeks and matte for your nails.  Below are some of my fave matte cosmetics on the market right now.  

Matte is just basicly, flat color opposed to shimmer or gloss.  

Matte for your cheeks.  I picked up this product at Ulta, it came in a set with a natural lip stick, a black eye liner, matte blush & and a contour/ highlight powder duo.  I haven't used the blush yet, but I love the bronzer.  It's by Purminerals and it's my first time using any of their products.  The lip stick is also pretty cute.  

It was $29.99 (which I thought was a good deal considering you get four things).    

I like the highlighter a lot because it has two colors and you're able to contour your cheeks nicely without having to buy two colors.  

Matte for your nails- Now I always go for OPI or Essie for nails because they seem to last the longest, but they are a bit pricely.   But I have to say I am really liking the Loreal paris, new set of matte colors.  They have some really chic ideas for your mannies right now.  Here's a picture of the set I like and a link to their site, where they show you how to do a cute mix and matte blue nail that I just love!

Next is matte for your eyes.  I really, really, like Two Faced Matte eyes.  First of all, Too Faced is an awesome make-up line.  It's pretty rare for me to try a product from Too Faced that I don't love.  This palette is perfect for a day look, or you can transform it into a night look.  There is nine colors with a velvety finish,  (which I love) leaving your eyes looking  fresh and young.  There is also some cards included in the package with ideas for a few looks you can choose from this palette.  You can get this product at Sephora, Ulta or Too Faced.com.  It will last for a while and you can use the base colors for your other shadows.  This product will set you back $36 dollars, but it's so worth it! 

Good night and sweet dreams!

Love,

ME!
