OOTD: Sexy Sandals and Stripes Shoemint & OldNavy

Hi! Friends , I know I haven't posted in about 2 weeks but I've been kinda busy at work and also tired. But no excuses, so today I wanted to show you how I paired my new sexy spring and summer sandals. I have to say that these baby have a special place in my closet room, they deserve the spot light.

Shoemint takes credit this time for these beauties, for those who don't know what shoemint is you can click on this link and it will take you to the site ShoeMint. Now a quick summary, just like other sites that you take a quiz and you get monthly styles loaded to your showroom and you get to shop. These are the pros and cons :

• The price point might not be for everyone, like Shoedazzle the prices area bit high to buy all the time.
• No monthly skip membership, so you shop whenever you can
• The quality is nice, you might pay a bit more but it's worth the money.
• You find unique items, it's good for shopping for out of the box items like my shoes

So these shoes were a splurge for me for sure, but I've been wanting a pair of gladiator inspired heel, so being that I've been a member for a while I used my first discount purchase coupon of 20% off.

So this being said, I love my shoes for sure.

Outfit Summary:

Old Navy skirt and necklace , h&m tank , XXI cardigan and belt

Now getting dressed is so much fun, because I like to take a little risk. I paired a polka dot belt with a stripe skirt. We are told these are fashion no no but who says lol. Fashion is all about risks. So step out this weekend with an item that's totally a fashion risk.

BH Cosmetics New California City Special Pallets Swatches

Hello Friends! Excited to chat and share with you these two great pallets from BH Cosmetics, they just released 3 new California city named pallets. I only purchased two of the pallets, so I wanted to share with you how pigmented are the colors. BH Cosmetics did it again! Oh and you won't believe it, they are only $10.00 woohoo!

The two pallets purchased were San Francisco and Malibu. Now why didn't I pick Hollywood? Good question, well I just felt that Hollywood was very similar to Malibu. But I'm pretty sure it's as beautiful as the rest, but I'm happy with my choices. So back to the review, I want to list the things I love and not love.

Things I love: 1) The Pigmentation: BH has never disappointed , great solid colors that last and stand out 2) The color combinations provides a balance to the pallet 3) The blushes: Can I say wow! They've included a white shimmer color as a highlighter that looks amazing. This has to be my fave, it gives you the glowy look. 3) The package is great , it's small enough to fit in your purse or great for travel.

Things I don't love: Nothing really, I think the price is great for the value and of course the cute packaging :0)

So my friends I hope these pics help you pick your fave pallet, and if you want to see a makeup tutorial let me know. Follow me on social media : Twitter and Instagram yarimar22.

Getting Ready for Spring!

Hi! Friends with Winter still around (booo) I can't help it but to prepare for Spring. Who cant wait for that Spring breeze, and the pretty flowers. Hmmm, I can just feel it! So this past weekend, Ulta my fave store (yea!!!), had an insert on Spring Beauty that I totally want to give my own opinion. I'm totally into changing, from a dark eye, to something soft. So lets look:

Spring first must have: Glowing Skin! Ahhh I totally agree, you've seen on Tv those girls in Malibu who look fierce with that dewy skin and gorge tan. Well I'm naturally tanned so, one point for meeeee lol. Now, how do we get that dewy look? Below are some products that can be used to reach that glow. Now! Note that you might have to try several till you get that perfect one. I'm just so into BB creams that I feel it's such an alternative to foundation on lazy days, or just days you want to cover up, but not made up. ( If you don't know what BB creams is read this BB cream - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

I can personally say that smatchbox is my fave for high end BB Cream , it's perfect for those days you want that foundation feel. Now, my alternative drugstore is Rimmel London new BB Cream BB CREAM | Rimmel London US. This BB cream is amazing, goes on light and its medium coverage.

Now quick tip on BB Creams : A must know is that they can tend to be oily, so if you don't like that oily look period then it's not for you. But don't loose hope, when I started to use BB Cream I thought the same thing. But after 6 different brands, I've found the right one for me. So the benefits are if you have dry skin, this will feel amazing, not only does it hydrate, but over time it gives you even skin tone. Try Garnier BB Cream ( for those dry skin girls). Ok enough on this..... Lol

Second must have for Spring : Relaxed Waves... Oh! So pretty those curls with some golden highlights and the wind blowing slowly pushing your hair ( I'm awake now, but a girl can dream right? ). But every girl wants that hair, and with these products and tools below, I'm pretty sure we can as well. Now, I haven't tried any of the hair products, but I'm sure going to try Beach Babe. First, I use some of the other products by " Not your Mothers" and they are pretty good. I also think that the right tool will get you that final look. So I have a deep wave tool, it's super fun deff for creating that wavy look. But a styling wand will get you those curls. In my personal opinion, I've tried these tools, but the busy person I am and a sucker for easy effective things, I use my topstyler by Instyler. Do you want to know more? click here TOPSTYLER® by InStyler® Amazing Volume and Sexy Curls. But being a current user of the Instyler rotating brush, I had to be faithful. So lesson to be learned, with the correct product and tool you can create your beach waves this spring.

 

Third and Fourth must have look for Spring: A bold Brow and a Pop of Lip Color. You may ask! why Brows? Well, the eye brows are always referred as being the one thing on your face that defines you. So what can we say, keeping your eyebrows trimmed what a mission right? Please tell me a person who loooooves to go every other week, to get plucked, waxed or threaded? NOT me! It's so pretty though after you get them done, so my new fave thing is a brow kit. As seen below, brow kits are so popular and I'm sold. Below we have Benefits Cosmetics brow kit, I love Benefits and I'm pretty sure this is an amazing kit. But a drug store alternative is NYC brow kit, so far I love it. It makes my brows look groomed and gives it shape. Now onto lips, what can I say. Your lips are the next most looked at part of your face, so having your lips moisturized and looking fresh is a must. Lip tint is so in, right now. I don't know how I feel about it, since I have the maybeline balm and I'm not a fan. It's perfect for moisture, a hint of color but nothing to drastic, but it's pretty refreshing for a pool side balm since it has SPF.

Last Spring must have look: Metallic Lids! Ok..... I know really? Metallics. Why not? , metallics used correctly can be beautiful. The products below I would so use, especialy the NYX lid shadow. When you are beach bound you want a fresh effortless look. So dabbing a hit of metallic onto your lid will do just that, and not to mention how easy it is to apply.

So no matter what you try this Spring, either a pop of color on your lip, that pretty dewy skin, or just a metallic eye, I know you will look beautiful. Go get that skin glowing, that beach bag ready, and have an amazing spring, if it ever gets here.
