GoodBye Summer!

So this year, I only got to go to the beach, twice. I wish I would’ve had the chance to go more often. But I'm glad I at least got the chance to go and I had a great time with my boys!  

 Another favorite thing to do after the beach…is stopping by Subway to eat fresh and going then going to the comic store. How awesome is this place? I love just being there. It makes me feel like a hero.

Accessorized weekend

Lots of shopping this weekend… here some deal I was able to get my hands on. I definitely got some hello kitty stuff as well but I’ll blog more on that later. I also got some clothing from both H&M and F21, which I’ll try to share. Hope everyone had an awesome weekend as I did. I know I’m all late it’s already Wednesday but I been so busy with work and also with my school shopping. I ordered all my books for school and hopefully I get them before MONDAY. Ahhh… school already, summer why did you leave so soon?

Gold w/ colors... need to add color to my dark fall clothing I'll be wearing.

Gold hoops... a must.

so cute... so cheap... a steal.

Planning to match this one with another bracelet I ordered and hoping I'll get it soon.

This chain is really long... just how it like it.

My panda is sooo cute... I like different stuff. I love this chain.

I go crazy for colorful, different, wild socks...

Simple but a must... was all out on both. I can't live without these.
MAC- Painterly paint pot and MAC- Ricepaper eyeshadow.
From VS- new collection... I loved Sheer Love the best, its has a flowery smell.

The odds of going to the store for a loaf of bread and coming out with only a loaf of bread are three billion to one.

Guidelines to finding the perfect lipstick

• If you want to play it safe, don't go more than a couple of shades lighter or darker than your natural lip color.
• Typically, fair skin is most flattered by colors with blue undertones, especially roses and pinks; olive skin looks great in warm plums and can pull off beiges without looking washed out; dark skin can carry deep, deep crimsons.
• Your hair counts, too: The lighter it is, the brighter your lipcolor will look.
• Consider your teeth: If they have a slight yellowish cast, lipsticks with blue undertones (including plums, wines, and pinks) may brighten them. (Or try Benefit California Kissin' Lip Shine; it has a slight blue sheen and can be applied over any lipstick.) Coral and orange lipcolors (not to mention that second glass of red wine) will make the problem worse.

Keeping it nice and tight!

1. Do border control. Before you apply, use a sponge to dab a powder foundation around the outside of the lips. It'll help keep the color from seeping outside your lip line and also create a subtle contrast that makes lips appear a bit fuller, says New York City makeup artist Maria Verel (who makes sure Diane Sawyer's lipstick looks great—in high-definition—by 7 o'clock every morning).

2. Forget the brush. "The color is more intense if you apply it directly from the tube, and the more pigment that winds up on your lips, the longer it will last," says New York City makeup artist Matthew Nigara.

3. Pencil it in. Once the color is in place, "tidy up around the edges with a pencil," says Verel. "It's drier and waxier than the lipstick, so it will create another barrier against bleeding." Choose a neutral shade that closely matches your natural lip color and is no darker than your lipstick (try one of these makeup artist favorites: Chanel Precision Lip Definer in Nude, Nars Lipliner Pencil in Borneo, or MAC Lip Pencil in Spice); for a line that looks natural, not harsh, use short strokes with the side (not the point) of the pencil.

4. Blot a bit. After you've applied the color, put a tissue between your lips and gently press down. "It lifts away the excess emollients that cause lipstick to smear," says Verel.

5. Protect your teeth. Red-carpet regulars and beauty queens may smear Vaseline on their teeth to keep lipstick from rubbing off on them; if you do it, though, you'll probably look as if you have Vaseline smeared on your teeth. Instead, after you apply lipstick, put your index finger in your mouth and slowly pull it out. (Feel free to Purell liberally first.) "It's the best way to remove any color that has migrated to the inside of your lips, which rubs against your teeth as you talk," says Nigara. Another preventive measure: Don't pucker up when you apply lipstick—it'll increase the likelihood of getting color on that area.

Great advice from The Oprah Magazine!

I'm Late I'm Late for an Improtant date.

For the month of May.

So this is what’s up for May….

May 22, 2010 was my son Birthday party… It was my little big boy birthday. Christopher Mathew Gonsalez turned 4 on May 19, 2010. We told him that this year his party would be at Chucky Cheese. He was not so happy about the idea. He wanted to have his Birthday at home like we do usually. He likes when I decorate the backyard with his favorite action figure. However, budget was shorter and it’s a lot more work to have a party at home. So I wanted to try something different. However, I can say going to chucky Cheese is not all that cheaper and the service was okay. I found myself having to go find the servants several times. I organized the party for just close friends and family however it turned out that more people came by which was ok. It’s hard to mingle with many people when you’re the only host.
My son loved his party. He kept telling me that he had lots of fun. It was so sweet 2 days later before going to sleep he sat up and looked at me and said “Mom, Thanks you for my birthday party”. I was like “Awww! You welcome my baby”. Moments like those make all worth it, the money, the time, and everything else.

His reaction to Chucky... (He realize he didn't like him after all) and Andrew enjoy catching some tickets for him.

Make up for party... simple and greyish w/a slight purpley cute.

For last year's party… I went for the action figure theme. My son loves Spiderman so I decorated it... Spiderman. The only thing I couldn’t find to make this a picture perfect decoration was spider web.

Year before that....

Chris long hair before his Birthday hair cut. He's playing the part well... right? Before bed time he enjoy's reading my Political Science book.

On another note, on May we got the enjoyment of shopping for MAC Back to the Beach collection. I loved many things from this collection. So I picked up 2 eye shadows, a lipstick, a lip gloss, a lip pencil, a eye kohl, and a blush.

Sweet & Punchy

Firecracker

Hipness- Blush

Life's A Breeze- Lip Pencil

Float on By- Eye Kohl

I also got Thrills(Frost) Lipstick and Flurry Of Fun- Lip glass which I will be blogging about separately. I love them both.

Seeing all these new previews on Eclipse has been one of my highlights for the month of may. Now that were in June's I'm more excited than ever. The movie is out on June 30, 2010. A couple more days and I'm beyond excited about it.

So I ordered this about a month ago. However, I have not had a chance to blog about it. I absolutely love the 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil. It works great and it does not smear. The lid primer is my most favorite thing and I use every day. I'm still more in love with my Smashbox lid primer but Urban decay passes. I don't really use mascara because of my eye lash extensions but it seems good. I'm not crazy about the lip gloss or the lipstick. It's okay.

My every day look...

During the month of May I took many trips to Pinkberry. I love pinkberry so much. I would have it every day if I could. The only thing that bothers me is that there are not enough of them. Also their not really local.

Hope you guys had a wonderful month!
