#HappyMotherDaughterDay with Ponds

Sponsored post by Mirum

Hey Loves,

With Mother’s Day quickly approaching, there’s nothing better than finding cute ways to spend a great day with your mother! This year, besides the usual of taking my mother to eat, I plan on having a cute spa day at home with her favorite skin care brand, Pond’s.

Growing up in a Mexican household, Pond’s was always my mother’s go to cream for removing makeup & moisturizing. Naturally, I gravitated to using the same skincare products she uses. Now Pond’s has various products that tackle different skin types. My mother loves anti-aging products and I am more conscious on making sure I blur any imperfections on my skin, such as my pigmentation and dark spots.

Flower Beauty MIRACLE MATTE LIQUID LIP COLOR

Hey Loves!

Here are the swatches for the new Flower Beauty Miracle Matte Liquid Lip Colors. These amazing lip colors can be found at Walmart for under $10 dollars.  You are bound to find a shade you like, they come in twelve different shades. There are dark, light and bright tones to select from.

The formula:

  • Nondrying
    • While applying the lip colors, the one thing I loved instantly was that my lips could move. There was no tugging.
  • Creaseless
    • This formula allows your lips to breath! It’s not going to feel like theres paint on your lips. It falls in all the right spots, without creating creases on areas that wouldn’t normally be there.
  • Comfortable
    • My favorite thing about this formula is the comfort. I forget that I have it on. I don’t need to constantly be adding lipbalm to prevent my lips from cracking.
  • Transfer free
    • You won’t have to be worrying about retouching every few minutes. This formula allows you to go about your day carefree, not worrying about lipstick on your teeth! You can have a few drinks before reapplying.

New Too Faced Natural Eyes Palette & Love Light Highlighters!

Hi Loves!

Guess what arrived this weekend… Too Faced new palette & highlighters launching March 9th!

Let me begin by explaining how beautifully packaged these items were. I am always in complete awe with how much thought Too Faced puts into their product launches. Above is the PR package it came in, a large boxed story book, which held the palette and highlighters. You can use it for everyday looks or easily switch the look to a night time smokey eye look.

The Natural Love Eye Palette is absolutely stunning, from the packaging to the actual shadows. This will most definitely be a palette I cherish and use for pretty much any occasion.

The palettes packaging is absolutely stunning! The “Natural Love” letters have a velvet feel, with an ombre look to the lettering. This packaging seems romantic, with a vintage touch.

The Love Light Prismatic Highlighters are identically beautiful to the palette. The packaging has a chrome look and comes in three different shades: Ray of Light, You Light Up My Life, and Blinded By The Light . There highlighters apply smoothly and are true to color.

Here are all the Love Light Prismatic Highlighters  swatched in order – Ray of Light, You Light Up My Life, and Blinded By The Light

Neutrogena’s New Hydro Boost Line

Disclosure: Post sponsored by Neutrogena, but all opinions are my own.

Hey loves!

It’s review time! Neutrogena, sent over these amazing new additions to their Hyrdo Boost Line. This line includes cleansers, water gels and cosmetics.

I was able to try out the products throughout the week and wanted to share my thoughts! I am completely loving the hydro boost line! Here is a breakdown of the products.

SKIN

Hydro Boost Hydrating Gel: This gel boosts hydration to soften and lather the skin. It can be used to effectively remove makeup and impurities. I use it mostly to wash my face and remove any left over makeup.

Hydro Boost Water Gel: This gel instantly softens the skin, making it feel soft and moisturized. I like to apply this evenly around my face and neck area. I apply this right after I shower to cool down my skin.

Hydro Boost Hydrating Serum: This serum adds hydration and softens  the skin. I like to lather this on my face before going to sleep. The next morning my skin is very soft and bright!

Hydro Boost Gel Cream: This is a great eye cream that instantly hydrates the eye area. I like to apply this before I go to sleep and right after I wake up. Helps to prevent my concealer from looking cakey.

MAKEUP

Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint: If you are looking for a bit of coverage with lots of hydration, this is something you would like to try out! This tinted moisturizer gives just the right amount of coverage, while allowing your skin to breath and not feel clogged.

Hydro Boost Hydrating Lip Shine: No makeup, makeup look? This is such a unique and lovely product. This feels like a lip balm, but has just the right amount of tint. I like to use this on top of a lipstick or on it’s own. It’s hydrating and the subtle color is great for everyday use.

Hydro Boost Hydrating Concealer: This is a perfect product for those who have dry under eyes! Besides the great coverage, the formula is what makes this product worth trying! No more dry under eye concealer.

Hydro Boost Hydrating Lip Treatment: Dry lips? No problem. This product has become one of my favs to carry in my purse. I am a fan of matte lipsticks, which means I have dry lips most of the time. I like to apply this before I go to sleep, during the day and on top of any matte lipstick. It gives just the right amount of moisture.

Flirt Cosmetics X Amber Rose

img_0097

Hi loves!

I recently attended a very fun beauty event hosted by Flirt Cosmetics to promote their newest launch and collaboration with Amber Rose. The well known Estée Lauder is using not one, but two digital influencers to launch this brand, Amber Rose and Donald Robertson AKA Drawbertson.

Who is this new line targeting?

Flirt Cosmetics was  created for the “new generation” that’s powered by social media. Accordind to Robertson, “It’s for people who aren’t super hardcore into makeup, but who want to be able to apply these things….It’s hard to come up with new stuff; you are jaded people. What are we going to do, come up with an eye palette and wow you?”

What products does this line currently include?

 Meeting BlacChyna
img_0096This event had many well known beauty influencers, press and of course some of Ambers really close friends, including Blacchyna. I was actually so surprised to see her there, that I had to ask her for a picture! She was extremely nice and looked so cute in her pink track suit from her online boutique. Her makeup looked flawless and effortless! Many of the products used by her makeup artist can be found at LashedBar.
