Positibity!

I always find myself taking for granted stuff in normal life... But this morning I felt I need it to step back and really think what I'm greatful for! And I really think helped me with starting my day. If you take a couple of minutes to just appreciate the little things on your life you will see that you have so much! <3

This are little tips that have help me:

• Be grateful for all the little things around you, your friends, being able to breath and be YOU!
• Smile because YOU CAN! It sounds cliché but it really makes a difference on the mood that I have :) If I take the effort to smile
• Help others and make someone a compliment. Giving love or just making someone feel better makes my day better
• Be arround people that lift you up! This step was kind of difficult for me because sometimes you are justa round "friends" that just complein about small stuff and that really got me! I love when people around me don't see just the bad side of the situation! and I want to be around people like that
• Write your happy thoughts and when you are having a bad day... Just go and see those happy things you wrote. I will help a lot!

So this are just small things that I have been doing for myself and I have to say they helped me a lot!  I Hope your day it's amazing :) and remember to smile!

A red lip kind of day

Hey everyone! Hope you are having a fantastic day! Today I wanted to share with you this look, I almost never wear red, because I feel like I haven't found the best shad for me. But this one it is really pretty and I enjoyed playing around with it.

For the eyes, I kept it really simple because I wanted the attention on my lips of course as always I did a Cat eye, but this time I used this technique I learned from http://www.jaclynhillmakeup.com  she has amazing Beauty videos! and I just love how flawless she always looks! 

I hope you all enjoy.

Hola a todos! Espero que tengan un día maravilloso! Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes este look, casi nunca uso labiales rojos, por que siento que no he encontrado el color perfecto para mí. Pero este que estoy usando es muy lindo y me gusto jugar un poco con él. 

Para los ojos, no hice nada dramático, por que quería dejar la atención a mis labios, y como siempre hice un delineado de gato. Pero esta vez usé una técnica que aprendí de 

http://www.jaclynhillmakeup.com ella tiene increibles videos de belleza! Y amo como siempre su maquillaje es perfecto.

Espero que disfruten!

I started applying a black eye shadow and then smudging it with an eye liner brush

Comenzé aplicando una sombra negra y después con una brocha para delinear pase sobre ella para que no se vea tan perfecta

After that I sused my favorite gel eye liner and did a basic cat eye with this Mac 208 liner brush

Después usé mi delineador en gel favorito e hice un delineado de gato básico usando esta brocha mac no. 208

After all of that I used a felt tip eye liner on top of everything else as you can see in the picture

Después de eso usé un delineador con punta de plumón y lo puse encima del delineado que tenía como pueden ver en la foto

Now is time to apply the foundation! But before I'm using this face primer from Loreal

Es tiempo de aplicar la base de maquillaje! Pero antes voy a usar este primer de Loreal

And then one of my favorite foundations Diorskin Forever I just love the consistency of this product and it feels light weight on my skin.

Y después uno de mis maquillajes liquidos favoritos este es Diorskin, amo la consistencia de este producto y que no se siente pesado en mi piel.

Bronzing powder and concealer...

Bronceador y corrector...

And finally the lipstick this one is Sephora Rouge it is so pigmented and I love it.

Y finalmente el labial este es Sephora Rouge. Tiene una pigmentación increible y me encanta.

Hope you are having a great day! xoxo -Alo

Esero que tu día sea increíble! xoxo-Alo

Fall on my nails

Mérida's weather is crazy and since it is Fall  and I can't wear like fall-ish clothes over here I love wearing fall colors on my nails! YAY

from left to right Revlon 791 Midnight Affair,Revlon 580 Eclectic, Revlon 610 Lily and NYC 248 Manhattan which i'm wearing right now! Since I saw this nail polish i just felt In love with it! 

The first color in the picture it is a really deep blue and it's just perfect. It looks black in the picture maybe... but it's not I promisse. It goes on really smooth and it last forever.

The 2 colors in the middle I know they don't look fall-ish looking but I just think they are pretty :)!

A Bronze kind of Day

I wanted to share with you my Go-To Bronze Makeup 

You all should now by now how the Maybelline Color Tattos work. And yes I am a huge fan of them too!

I Just love how it looks and it blends so easily, in no time at all. 

Queria compartir con ustedes mi Go-To Maquillaje con un poco de bronze. Para este momento creo que todos deben de saber acerca de los Color Tattos de Maybelline. Si sou una gran fan de ellos también!

Amo como se ven y no toma nada de tiempo el poder usarlos.

Love using this Real Techniques brush for a smudgy kind of messy look.

También amo usar este pincel de  Real Techniques para un delineado no tan preciso 

Let's talk about this Mac foundation... This is my first time trying Mac products.. and I'm In love.

The finish that it gives you it's super duper good and you can build up the coverage, It doesn't make me feel cakey at all. (with this HOT HOT weather)

Hablemos de este maquillaje de Mac... Esta es mi primera vez usando sus productos y me enamoré completamente. El resultado en mi piel es muy bueno, puedes ir incrementando su cobertura depende del look que estés buscando y no hace que mi piel se sienta con una mascarilla de maquillaje encima. (con este clima tan caluroso)

Here it is the final Look. It's pretty pretty simple and I had to go run some errands that day (yesterday)

Este es el look final, es muy simple, y ese día tenia que ver algunos mandados (ayer)

Hope you guys enjoy!
