Okay. . . I am not trying to sale you this but. . . I just went to the MAC store at the Domain in Austin, TX and DANG!! I was in heaven. I thought that it was going to be crowded at the store, but it was not and that was great because I got a chance to really look at the collection and play. The sales associate from MAC, Zeke, was fantastic and he assisted us with whatever we needed. If you live in the Austin, Texas area check him out there. Heads up, they are having the official launch event this Saturday!
But anyway, my favorite from this collection was the Hello Kitty Wild. Why? I love fun bright beautiful colors and this set was all of that for me! However, if you like more subdued colors then you may like the Hello Kitty Mild collection.
The quad in the Hello Kitty Wild collection is called Too Dolly and the colors consisted of: Yogurt, Romping, Too Dolly and Stately Black. I did a swatch of them and love them soooo much that I purchased it for $38 along with the Hello Kitty Big Bow lip glaze lipstick, $14 and the Hello Kitty Nice Kitty Lipgloss, $14.
For fun and trying this look check out this AWESOME youtuber rendition of the Hello Kitty Wild quad. I think she did a fanTAstic job creating this work of art and you know I will be trying this look this weekend.
Okay, I was bored and I wanted to play with some of my shadows from MAC and Urban Decay. . . Long story short I had so much fun that I decided to share with you all what I did. Be kind, this is my first video and I hope that you find some inspiration from it.
I just love how the celebrities like Halle Barry, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, and my new favorite Kim Kardashian have beautiful flawless, radiant and glowing skin when I see them on T.V. or in the lastest magazines. Don’t you?
Lately, I have been obessed about having flawless glowing skin like theirs, so I thought to myself let get something new to try to see if I can achieve that look too! So I decided to give philosophy the microdelivery peel for $65 a try to see if I get any results.
What’s The Hype about this product?
philosophy pioneered the first medical microdermabrasion machine that rapidly exfoliated the skin as it delivered vitamin c deep into the skin. the treatment is known as the microdelivery peel and is popular amongst plastic surgeons and their patients. we now bring a less expensive, less invasive in-home version of the microdelivery peel. we don’t just give your skin a peel, we give it a complete skin makeover in just 3-minutes. what makes this next generation microdelivery peel so revolutionary is that unlike peels of the past that only exfoliated, this peel delivers peptides and vitamin c to the skin as it’s being rapidly exfoliated. it is resurfacing and replenishing the skin at the same time which is a new approach to skin rejuvenation and best of all, it involves absolutely no downtime.
you need this product if…
you want to give your skin a complete makeover
you want to help de-age your skin
you want to instantly brighten your skin
you crave a radiant glow
you are an exfoliator aficionado
With that said I try it and it was wonderful. I loved when I applied step 1 I got a wonderful exfoliation and an infusion of vitamin c on my skin’s surface. Then I did step 2 which is the lactic acid and salicylic serum and what I felt was a warm sensation and it felt great! After both steps I rinsed my skin and moisturized which is very important in keep the skin looking glowy.
The results where awesome! I skin look radiant with and without make-up. Then uneven texture was gone. So, all in all I love this product and recommend to everyone!

Some mornings it just seems like you do not have time to get everything done before rushing out of the door especially your makeup. If you are a busy mom, hard working woman, or an overloaded student it can be very difficult to find time to spend on yourself. However, it does not have to take long to put your makeup on. Almost anyone can find five minutes to spend on themselves, and you can make up your face in a mere five minutes with a few simple steps.
First thing in the morning, you usually shower. After you have showered and washed your face, the first and most important step of your new five-minute make up routine is to moisturize. Moisturizer is a very important step in your skin care routine because it sets up the base that you are going to be applying your make up to. If your skin is not conditioned properly then your makeup will not stay in place for the duration of your day. As you apply your moisturizer, you will want to let it sink in for about a minute or so before proceeding with your other cosmetics. While you are waiting for the moisturizer to hydrate your skin you will want to take this time to pull out and organize the rest of the cosmetics that you are planning on using.
Once your moisturizer has absorbed into your skin you will want to apply your foundation. You can take your index finger and use that to place several dots of foundation around your face. From there you will want to blend in the color with either a foundation brush, cosmetic sponge, or simply your fingertips. All methods can be effective so find the one that you are the most comfortable with so that you can use that to blend your foundation into your natural complexion. There are so many great affordable cosmetic brands out there like Maybelline, Rimmel, Loreal, and Revlon that you will be able to purchase a fantastic foundation for your skin that won’t cost you an arm and a leg.
Once you have created a flawless complexion with your foundation you will want to apply makeup to your eyes. Choose a neutral eye color and apply it over the entirety of the lid. If you are looking for the easiest shade to use, pick one that is close to your eyelids natural color. After that, you need to put on your mascara to instantly open and brighten your eyes.
Once you have attended to your eyes then you will want to start to work on your lips. Choose a neutral lip color that is a little deeper than your natural lip color and apply that. Again, choose a neutral colored makeup so that it blends in and compliments your natural appearance, keeping you from having to do a lot of extra shading to make it look polished. And don’t forget to apply lip gloss. If you are having trouble choosing the right gloss for you try to look into our guide to find the perfect lip gloss.
Lastly, you will want to turn your attention to your blush. Smile and gently swirl your blush in a circular motion on the apples of your cheek. By applying the blush last, you will ensure that you are balancing out the color that you have added to your face.
The final step of your five-minute makeup routine is to apply a light application of powder to lock in the look that you have created. This will ensure that your makeup will stay put all day long. So within a mere five minutes you can be sure that you’ll be walking out of the door looking polished, natural, with your celebrities make up look so that you will turn heads as your walk down the street. All that in only five minutes! What could be better than that?
