I've been hooked on this song...

I've always been a huge Ciara fan, she's always fresh with her music, looks amazing! And keeps true to who she really is and that's what I think makes a good artist. I love her new single called "Ride"! Her dance moves are out of this world! What do you think about this song? Yay or Nay? Let me know in the comments!







Have a lovely afternoon!

One of my FAVORITE foods!!

I thought I'd share one of my favorite Spanish dishes with you gals! I know everyone's mom is a good cook-but I seriously think my mom is one of the best cooks in the world lol! She can literally make anything, she's always been so creative with food over the years, and that passion she has has really made me appreciate good food. It's really nice to have a home cooked meal so I definitely appreciate her in so many ways!
I'm pretty sure everyone's familiar with the "traditional" rice and beans. The seasonings and vegetables to make this dish are to die for and that's why I wanted to share.

Here we have white rice, beans and thinly cut beef seasoned with red and green peppers and onions. YUM!!

Hope you all enjoy this post, my mouth is watering now! lol What's your favorite Spanish dish? Share in the comments I'd love to hear about it:)

Mac: To The Beach Collection!

Release Date: May 27, 2010






Photobucket




"There is fun in the sun, but to the beach is more of a sensual state of mind-a pleasure we all feel near the sea. The girl and boy from Ipanema, from Cap D'Antibes to West Palm Beach...All around the world, the seaside has a romance, and a kind of golden, sexy alchemy we're all drawn to. This collection encapsulates it, with a new, lapping-wave Lip-Pencil and High-Light Powder in coral shades, Nail Lacquer-A Scorcher!-Eye Shadow, Kohl, and Powder Blush to get away from it all effortlessly. Sandbags, seashells, the magic of marine line decorating packaging in the most soothing sultry shades of summertime. Close your eyes, and go To The Beach!"
[www.maccosmetics.com]




I am very excited for this collection. I love Mac collections that have the Limited Edition Packaging. There are quite a few things on my wishlist from this collection especially the new liquid bronzers, I'm very curious about those. I just want everything, but I have to be realistic!! LOL

NOTD!! & Review

NOTD: China Glaze For Audrey

China Glaze For Audrey is such a pretty color by China Glaze! I think it's perfect color for spring, named after Audrey Hepburn. It's a turquoise color with a hint of sea green to it. It's compared to the Tiffany's & Co. box. The color looks so beautiful but I wasn't too impressed with the formulation of it. It was kind of thick and hard to apply, I found it gloopy as well so it was kind of hard to get 2 coats on without it being streaky, but I managed to get it opaque. 
Turquoise is my all time favorite color! I love the idea of green and blue together
I mainly got this polish because they were on sale at Sally's (previous haul post) buy 2 get 1 free. I also matched my tootsies as it was time to change that polish too! 
What do you think of this nail polish? Yay or Nay??

Ulta haul and more!

Hello my loves! Hope everyone's having a fabulous week! Over the past weekend I discovered I have an Ulta beauty store by me! I love this store as much I adore Sephora! They carry so many beauty brands I swear I could live in there! LOL I picked up some NYX eyeshadows, a lipstick in Pumpkin Pie (don't know why it's called pumpkin pie it doesn't look like a pumpkin pie color or smell like pumpkin pie IMO, still a pretty color), a Palladio green eyeliner(awesome pigmentation) and a Boujois eyeshadow, I wanted to swatch the NYX products in person rather than ordering online so this worked out really well. I also stopped by Sally's Beauty Supply where they were having a nail polish sale buy 2 get one free!

So far I'm really loving the NYX lipsticks and eyeshadows, I hope to purchase more in the future:)

What are some of your favorites from Ulta and Sally's?

NOTD and Fun extra's!!

Hey dolls! Hope everyone is having a fabulous week and enjoying the beautiful weather we've been having. I wanted to share a springy NOTD (Nail polish of the day for ya'll that don't know). The color I used is from Mac it's called "Steamy" it's a really bright pink color and I love it! I've had this in my collection for about a year, it's kind of an oldie but a goodie, def one of my faves! Not sure if it's discontinued or Mac still has it but it runs for about $12? It's a cream nail polish and it applies like a dream to your nails! It stays on my nails for a good 5-7 days. I also use a base and a good top coat from Sally Hansen to prevent chipping and also set the nail polish.

This past weekend I also got the chance to go to the New York International Car Show in New York. It was pretty cool to see all the different cars that are currently out and future ones to come out. They had all sorts of cars from Ford to Lamborghini. I took the most pics with the BMW's because those are my ultimate fave cars lol!! It was a good day to be in the city the weather was awesome! So check out my pics below. What are some of your favorite cars, or dream cars??

Mac Lady Gaga Viva Glam!

I'm sure all my makeup lovers out there are loving the Mac Viva Glam Cyndi and Gaga. I got a little behind on my posts and I've meaning to post this but better late than never LOL. Out of the 2 lipsticks I got Viva Glam Gaga. I am and have been a HUGE Lady Gaga fan and this beautiful sheer pink totally won over my heart when I saw this was coming out and I knew I had to have it!! 

I went to my local Mac counters: SOLD out everywhere!! Checked online: SOLD OUT again! I had to wait about a week before it was available on the site again but I jumped all over it when I saw it was! I couldn't believe all the hype over this lipstick, but I love it!! I skipped out on the Cyndi, don't get me wrong I like Cyndi (She's also on the Celebrity Apprentice this season and she's hilarious!) But I'm not a huge fan of red lipsticks, or coral with red. Plus I already own Viva Glam VI which is a red lipstick.

If your not familiar with the Mac "Viva Glam Campaign" here's a little bit more information about it:
"Established in 1994 to support men, women and children living with and affected by HIV/AIDS globally, VIVA GLAM I, II, III, IV, V and VI, were launched as continuous shades and have achieved tremendous success over the years."
[Description directly from http://maccosmetics.com]

I think this is really great cause on behalf of Mac, every Viva Glam Lipstick purchase proceeds goes to people affected by aids all over the world, so not only do you have a pretty shade lipstick but your also donating to a good cause.

I didn't get the Cyndi Lauper shade because I prefer pinky nude lipsticks but Mac describes it as:
"A limited edition VIVA GLAM Lipstick named after celebrity spokesperson, Cyndi Lauper. Features a high-lustre finish and a light coral-red colour"
[product description directly from http://maccosmetics.com]




Photobucket

Viva Glam Gaga is described as: 
"A limited edition VIVA GLAM Lipstick named after celebrity spokesperson Lady Gaga. Features a high lustre finish and cool blue-pink shade"
[product description directly from http://maccosmetics.com]
 

Photobucket

And finally here's what it looks like on my lips, you can definitely build up the intensity of this lipstick which I love, or you can wear it very sheerly, and I put Mac Morning Glory Lipglass over it for a shiny finish! Enjoy!


Photobucket
These two shades are limited edition and will only be available at your local Mac counters and stores, or you can buy it by clicking here: http://www.maccosmetics.com/giving_back/vivaglam.tmpl for 12 months only! I'm thinking about stocking up;) So go out and grab one if you haven't while there available!!

Have a great day dolls! Enjoy this beautiful sunny day after all this rain, xoxo!!
