Undergarment secretssss....

Hey guys!! Sorry I've been MIA for a couple of weeks now. I haven't had time to blog, I've been all over the place had so much to do. But I'M BACK, well for now lol. So I wanted to do a post on bras and shape wear. I always get asked what kind of bras I wear and what brand of spanks I wear. Well I bring you answers! So most of the time I wear the Victoria's Secret "Bombshell Bra" $49.50. Reason why I like this specific bra is because it shapes the boobs so nicely, makes them round and smooth. This bra does add two cup sizes which is completely unnecessary for my case since my boobs are huge on their own. And yes they are real for those who were curious, my size is 34D. However for anyone who wants lift and size I definitely recommend it. Although lately I have been buying non padded bras, mainly because padded ones make my boobs look like two big watermelons, its almost too damn big. I purchased various colors from Target, the bra is called "Favorite Lightly Lined Demi Bra" and its $14.99. Now that's a bargain! I also get frequently asked what kind of bras do I wear with low cut or backless clothing, the answer is I don't. If my dress/top is backless or low cut a bra is not necessary. Not only will it be really hard to hide it but it would look obvious and tacky. I have really perky boobs, because I always slept with a bra, so if I'm not wearing one they still stay up and in place.  Ok moving on to spanks. They are fuckin' LIFE CHANGING!!!!!!!!! I swear by them, they're like magic. Not only do they shape your body, but they hide any cellulite that could possibly show through clothing. It smoothes everything out, for me this is extremely important considering I have cellulite on my thighs. The cool thing about these spanks is they're not tight on the butt so it won't flatten it, it will actually lift. Most spanks flatten the butt which is annoying but these are just perfect. I purchased the spanks at Target. They are $28, and come in black and nude. The brand is called ASSETS.  I will attach the picture below.  Well as always I hope this post helped, I try to share tips as often as I can. Let me know your thoughts below! :)

Dewy Secrets...

So this is probably one of my most asked questions on Instagram. How I get glowing dewy skin? I also included the concealer I use because I also get a lot of questions on it. First and foremost the most important factor of this routine is Mac Fix +. It basically gives your skin not only moisture but it emphasizes the highlight to another level. Essentially its designed to have powder sink into your skin and make it appear very natural and non-cakey. Now before adding all these products its recommended to use your daily moisturizer. To get extra moisture I apply Fix + after my moisturizer.  I then go ahead and apply my Armani Luminous Silk foundation (shade #8) and yes this foundation is AMAZING! As seen in the picture for concealer I use Makeup Forever Full Cover (shade#3). It's the most flawless coverage and it dries matte. For my highlight I use my absolute favorite product of all time, Est ér Lauder "Heat Wave". I use this every time I do my makeup, its definetely a staple product. The brush I use to apply the highlighter is shown in the picture below, Morphe M310. It picks up just enough product and truly gives a flawless application. After all these steps are completed I spray my face once again with Mac Fix +, after about 30 minutes my skin starts to look wet. Now I don't recommend this for everyone, if you have oily skin you probably won't be ecstatic with the outcome considering you will end up looking greasy. I on the other hand have very dry skin, therefore I prefer this look over matte any day. I hope I was helpful with this review, let me know your thoughts :)

Amrezy Palette

I figured this is the best platform to finally talk about the ins and outs of the Amrezy Palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills. When I was presented with this opportunity you can imagine the level of excitement I felt. Although it didn't hit me up until it was actually made. As you know throughout the process of making this palette I worked along with my bestie who you may know by @norvina on Instagram. Well little did I know we would become so close during this process. The minute we started working together I knew what I wanted. All the colors were already pre thought and even Claudia herself was surprised as to how quick I made up my mind. As you can imagine I was very strategic with the color scheme. I've always wanted to create a palette that included every color you would need without having to reach out to other palettes. I own many palettes and there has never been one that I felt covered everything, meaning pop of color, neutrals, shimmery, matte, dark, and light. Also I thought it was EXTREMELY important to create crease colors, which are my go to "Morocco"and "Caramel". I felt that a lot of other brands lacked on adding crease colors and as a makeup artist this was something that had to be included, because no matter what eye look I do I absolutely have to use a transition color.  I picked shades that I felt would look good on all skin tones, and of course all kinds of women. I wanted to reach every audience. I felt that people would appreciate the neutrals colors the most but I couldn't forget to add at least two bright shades because I know some people are more daring than others. I want to know what you guys think about it? Leave me some comments below :)
