how to achieve the 'fierce perfect' eyebrows



As requested, here's a step by step pictorial on how to achieve this 'perfect' looking brows. Sorry for the quality of the pictures. I just moved and my camera battery died and I wasn't able to find the charger that's why I had to resort to using my camera phone. And remember, practice makes perfect!

Tools I used: Benefit's browz-ing palette, hard angle brush, spooly brush, concealer brush, and MAC nc42 concealer.





my must have drugstore products

So my first must have drugstore product is the 'Loreal Magic Perfecting Base.' The reason to why I highly recommend this product is because my skin is sensitive and I break out easily using any types of base and primers. I break out far more worst using a bad primer than using a bad foundation! This is the only base that I can use on my skin that won't break me out. I love the consistency of it, it's very velvety and smooth. The texture kind of remind me of Clarin's Instant Smooth Perfecting touch base; so the Loreal is kind of a cheaper alternative. If you're still sort of skeptical about this product, try using some on a small area of your face to see if your skin may have any reactions to it. I suggest using it on a small part of your jaw line to test it out.

My next drugstore product that I highly recommend is 'Elf's Clarifying Pressed Powder.' I was always skeptical of Elf because of it's price, only being $1 doesn't really suggest that it's the best quality. Little did I know, that I was absolutely wrong. My aunt first introduced me to this powder about two years ago and only because she accidentally bought the wrong shade for herself. I use 'spice' as an all over face powder. I wear it as a foundation when I need quick color to my face when running out to do errands and I also put it on after my liquid foundation routine. I also use 'toffe' to contour, this product is so versatile! The coverage isn't cake-y at all, it's light and perfect. The only thing that sucks about this product is the limited shades it comes in.

So my next favorite drugstore product is 'Aquaphor Lip repair.' I always use some type of balm every morning when I get ready for my day. Before I begin any makeup routine, I always apply this to my lips. I let it sit while I do my makeup, once I'm done applying my makeup, my lips will be nice and smooth and ready for me to apply lip color. I don't like to apply lipstick or any lip color to dried cracked lips. This will make your dry cracked lips smooth quick, that's why I love it! Before finding trying this product, I use to use Shiseido Benefiance Lip correction balm. That product is amazing but at $32 it can get a little costly. So the aquaphor is a great dupe!

Another one of my great finds is 'Mabelline's eyestudio.' The reason why I love this product so much is because it's so easy to work with. It doesn't smudge like a pencil and it doesn't crack like a liquid eyeliner. One pot will last you a good while and this is coming from a gal who never leaves the house without the infamous thick cat-eye everyday. The brush that it comes with it is perfect, it's small and soft, perfect for perfecting the cat-eye.



Last but not least, 'Loreal's lash boosting serum.' I saved the best for last, obviously. ;) So I lack upper lashes so, I've been using this product continuously for the past two and a half weeks. I use this product once a day every morning. I apply to my upper and lower lashes and then I use the tip to drag along the top of my lid where the lash line starts. The process may take a while but I started seeing results the more dedicated I was. I apply it on everyday without missing a day. My lashes has gotten fuller and a tad bit longer. In another post that I'll post some time later, I'll show you the before and after picture. Also I've been hearing good reviews about the Rapidlash so I will also be trying this product and doing a review sometime later after I finish my tube of Loreal. Stay tuned!




These are the few products that I love and highly recommend. There are more gems I have yet discovered.  I'll continue to share any products that I find and that I think is worthy enough of doing a review about. My next drugstore product post will be about lipsticks. Great shades for under $6!

Now that I'm getting older I feel like my style is a little more refined. I have days where I dress 'loud' but I have't had much of those days. I feel like simple and chic is starting to best suite me.

instagram vision: Cinco de Mayo in NYC





It's been a while since I've visited my family in NYC. There's no better way than to spend it than on Cinco de Mayo weekend. I started with Coney Island Brooklyn style slices then lunch at Cafeteria. Then I journeyed to the Lower east side to hunt down Bisous Ciao macarons. Mmm delicioso!
