New Tag: Everyone thinks...
the tag is: Everyone thinks...
You just respond to that and tag someone else.
Okay here I go:
Everyone thinks that my hair is fake. I have had men and women alike stop me in the street or wherever to ask me if all of my hair was actually mine. My reaction is usually something like this...
Person: Is that yours?
Me: Oh, you mean this (point at my hair)
Person: Yes, is that yours ?
Me: (Holding my hair and with squinted eyes) Yes, its mine. Why? Does it look fake?
Person: Oh, no, no, It looks nice (They walk away)
ME (to myself) You should have seen me when I was a child.
End of scene
Yes, people actually have the audocity to ask me whether the hair I have had forever is mine. I ask whether its the shine, the texture, the amount... I really do not know, since when I ask my little sister and my mother (who call it the wig) if they can provide adjectives, all they say is "fake" barbie-like", which for an English major aren't exactly the most descriptive adjectives.
They say it looks fake when its straight, but really fake when its curled. I think I should just shave my hair off, but maybe they will start asking "Are you crazy?"
I can't wait until I do the Brazilian Keratin Treatment (I mentioned it in the Global Beauty: Brazilian Bombshell).
My mom ordered some in the salon so it can be applied to my hair.. I can't wait!!!!!!.
So I tag my beautiful fellow bloggers M & R..
Hugs and kisses
till next time..

Pay It Foward: Milk of Magnesia as Primer

MAC ATTACK: Fluidline in Blacktrack

Global Beauty: China Doll

Everything seems to be MADE IN CHINA, but what do we know about Chinese beauty secrets?
Like all other nationalities, the ideal chinese beauty has changed throughout the ages. The Chinese woman now has freedom to express herself; therefore, there is no standard to what a chinese woman should look like. To me, Chinese women seem to have an effortless, minimalist view of beauty. Their beauty comes from flawless skin and gorgeous shiny hair (Think Lucy Liu). Let's admit it not all of us are blessed with porcelean skin or naturally shiny hair, but there is always a product that can help:
For Flawless Skin:
Water (Free)- You can not have enough of this elixer of life. Infact, I will ask that all followers of this blog consume atleast 12 cups of water a day. Trust me, you do not want to be stuck in the hospital on a Sunday because you are dehydrated and have developed a kidney stone (The pain is like being stabbed again, again, and again).
St. Ives Aprioct Scrub ($3-$5)
Great skin starts with a great product. I use St. Ives about 4 times a week and whenever I think I need a scrub. The apricot granules are gentle enough to not hurt and rough enough to scrub away dull dead skin cells.
For Porcelean Skin:
Maybelline Pure Makeup Foundation ($4- $6)
When I first bought this foundation I did not like it, but now that I know the importance of hydrated skin this product is great. It workks best on well hydrated skin (Don't slack on the moisturizer or the water). This foundation also happens to be one of the most affordable. It is made of 50% water (YESSS WATTERRR), which does not clog pores. I apply this with a sponge on the areas I need it. It offers light coverage, but it is buildable. It is a matte finish.
For Shiny Hair:
Biosilk Silk Therapy (Varied prices $12-$30)
I love this stuff. The smell is enticing and it is multi-purpose. These silk drops can be applied to damp hair as a shine treatment, to dry hair as shine serum, and to hair as heat protectant before using heat. I religiouly use this everyday. A little goes a long way, so my 20 ounce bottle still has 6 months of use in it (Ibought the bottle in December and I still haven't gotten half done with it).
For long lashes:
Avon Uplift Mascara ($6-$8)
This is one of my HG (Holy Grail) Mascaras. The fibers offer length and even application. I love how this mascara can enhance a natural look, but can also be layered to intensify a sexy look.

Global Beauty… The Brazilian Bombshell
Many things come out of
For Smooth, Shiny, Brazilian-like Skin
Vaseline Intensive Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil with Brazil Nut ($6-$8):
I have been using this product on and off for 6 months. It is sooo moisturizing! When applied to the skin, the skin gives off a nice glow without looking oily. The smell is very nutty and natural. I love it! It is best to apply onto damp skin right after showering or bathing. This product can be found in stores like CVS, Rite Aid, Target, Walgreens, etc…
OR
Johnson and Johnson Baby Oil with Lavender ($3- $5): The age old classic. This product is a daily go to for me. I reach for it more than I reach for the Vaseline oil. The Lavender smell is relaxing unlike the sometimes, too poignant original baby powder smell. I apply it right after the shower unto damp skin. The application is smoother and quicker than the Vaseline Intensive Care, which is a gel. The after effect is just as smooth and glowy as the gel. You can find this pretty much anywhere.
For Amazing, Nourished Brazilian-like Hair:
Brazilian Keratin Treatment ($150- $600): The Brazilian Keratin Hair Treatment naturally straightens your hair. It produces spectacular results - the hair is shiny, sleek and healthy. For the time being, no big
OR
Olive Oil ($1- $3)- Yes, plain oil olive oil will do the trick. It is not as drastic as the keratin, but the shine it gives is irresistible. I use olive oil as a deep hot oil treatment. I heat up a small amount of oil in a cup in the microwave. I apply it to damp unwashed hair. I leave it on for 30 minutes, then I rinse and shampoo. The results are incredible: Soft, shiny manageable hair.
For a Flawless, Bronzed Face:
Bronzer ($1- $28): Bronzer should be a staple in every make up kit. It provides a natural glow if applied correctly. I use different types of bronzers (Matte, Shimmer, Liquid, Powder) depending on the weather, the day, and the look. I usually apply with a fan brush, and I focus on the contours of my cheeks, the temples, and a little on the nose. Method of application varies per person, so just practice and see what works best for you.
For Sultry, Sexy Eyes:
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye pencil in Baked ($16)- Sultry eyes does not necessarily mean black eye liner. A bronze/gold liner, like Urban Decay’s, can add the perfect emphasis to the eyes without looking harsh. I apply the eyeliner to the water line and the inner eye corner, and then I add black mascara to the top and bottom lashes. It is very natural-looking, but sexy. You don’t necessarily have to go out and buy the urban decay liner (even though it’s smooth and creamy). Any gold/bronze eye pencil or eye kohl can be used. Even gold eye shadow can do the trick. Just line the bottom lash line with eye shadow and dab into the inner corner of the eye.
(Aside from the Brazilian Keratin, I have used all of the products I have mentioned.)

Initiation into the World of Blogging
Hey guys! I'm so excited about becoming an author on this great blog. Michelle and Rosanna are beauty enthusiasts, like myself, and that will just make blogging even more exciting and entertaining. Now, a little bit about me... I am nineteen years old. I am a student in NYU, which I really enjoy and love!!! I hope to go to law school. Ultimately, I want to become a Supreme Court judge, but there are many other things I want to do in life. For example, I want to write a novel and several other smaller books. Now, let us talk about how my affair with makeup and beauty products came about. As a young girl I always looked at how the women that surrounded me behaved. Fortunately, they all had a beauty regime, which I thought was intriguing. There was nothing more fascinating than sitting at my grandmother’s vanity to look at all the bottles and tubes (she is a licensed beautician). I started buying makeup slowly, but the biggest growth spurt has been within the last couple of months, since I have nothing else to do besides shop. I love how makeup is able to transform someone, providing confidence or a hint of allure. Makeup also helps enhance certain features while minimizing those that are not so desirable. I do not discriminate when it comes to beauty products. It all depends on what works best. But as much as I love makeup, I believe the most important part of a beauty routine is skin maintenance. You can expect many reviews on skin care products, skin care methods, and hauls from my part; I love offering my opinion, and I love shopping and testing out new products.
What's to come: Top 5 Favorite Products, Global Beauty (Weekly), Top 3 Products (Weekly), Importance of Skin Regimen, Daily Skin Routine, What I can't live without, Look of the Week.....
Hope you guys like what's to come. Till next time!!!!
Arrivederci!
