A tip a day keeps the disasters away!

Today I have decided to start a new series in my blog called " a tip a day keeps the disasters away!" I will try to post often, though it is hard with summer being so busy!! I will be posting tips about random stuff that I find helpful! Feel free to leave comments and suggestions!
here are a few to start off with:

1.) Use Vaseline as an alternative to makeup remover! Just put it on a tissue and wipe the makeup right off! For me, makeup remover is awful, my skin is very sensitive, so this trick comes in handy!

 

2) put on lip balm BEFORE you go in the shower. The steam in the shower helps it absorb in to your lips, leaving your them silky smooth! 

Makeup haul!!

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great fourth of July! Recently I picked up some things for summer.
 First off, at  our local CVS, I purchased these items:

This is a great foundation from NYC. It is super cheap, oil free and it covers blemishes very well.

I also purchaced this baby lips, I love the color and it leaves your lips feeling great!

Next, I got this talcum free powder that eliminates grease, and lasts for a long time!

I purchased this water proof mascara also. It really stays on! I was able to swim in the pool for hours, and when I got out, It wasn't even smudged!(Just remember not to wipe or rub your eyes)

 

Lastly, I bought this lip stain. Im not kidding when I say "IT NEVER COMES OFF" I ate, drank, swam, showered, and slept with this stuff on, and my lips were still colored!!!!

 

 

 

HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A GREAT SUMMER!! (;

Corn salad with queso fresco

Hi! I've been busy lately, so I haven't had the chance to blog in a while. Today I decided to blog about a recent cooking experiment I did. For a Spanish project, I was assigned a recipe to make for the class. Since the group I was in received the topic of Peru, I had to make a traditional Peru food. I made corn salad with queso fresco. It is a very healthy, easy and delicious dish! You can find the recipe here.

First, wash and dice the red pepper

Then, I cooked the frozen corn, ground up the onion, and minced the cilantro. After that, I mixed it all together.

Next, squeeze lime juice in to the oil. *optional** add salt

Finally, mix everything together and add the lime dressing. For an extra pop of flavor, add some freshly ground pepper to the salad! ENJOY!!! (;

Beauty Product review

A few days ago, I bought the Maybelline Rocket lash mascara. I had heard that it was good by one of my favorite you-tubers, Macbarbie07.  Click here to visit her homepage. I personally LOVE this mascara. It is clump free, and it makes your lashes look longer and thicker. Another thing I really like about it is that it makes your lashes look like you curled them. I would definitely recommend this product to EVERYONE!

BB cream review

Recently I picked up some Mabyelline BB cream at our local CVS. I have heard a lot of people talk about this product so I decided to try it out. It is perfect for covering minor blemishes. It also has 30 SPF protection, it has no oils, it is a moisturizer and it gives your skin get a healthy glow! I would definately recommend trying out this product. It is pretty cheap, and perfect for summer!

Pray for Boston

As many of you have probably heard,the Boston marathon was bombed yesterday. We should all pray for those who were injured, those who were killed and the families of these poor people.
