Coach

July 28, 2010 by odeliza | No Comments | Filed in Hauls

I love Coach!

I’ve a little collection of Coach Designer Bags (authentic) and every once in a while I add to that collection. I’ve had most of my Coach Bags, for a little over 6 years. Some, really need cleaning. One I actually threw in the laundry (satin fabric) and it was a very big mistake!

So, I decided I needed a new Coach back pack, since my satin one is basically destroyed :(

Here is the bag I bought online from Coach.com (the official website). It arrived wrapped in a cute Coach box with a quality envelope and inside was my receipt. Inside the actual bag there was tissue paper, a storage satchel, and a note. I keep all my storage satchels and actually store the pertaining bag with it when not in use.

It’s so new and the leather is so clean!

Really, it was like opening a Christmas Gift! I was having a bad day and lo and behold, this small bag made me happy. It’s a girl thing :)

Now, I have to save for a matching wallet and key ring:)

Tchauzhno Belas!

Effortless Summer Make up

How to achieve an Effortless Summer Make up

1. Start off with a well cleansed face.

2. Apply a tinted moisturizer with an SPF of 15 or more all over your face and neck.

3. Dust on a bit of bronzer ( try to use a shade or two slightly darker than your current skin tone).

4. Dab on lip gloss just on the center of your lips.

5. Finally, curl your lashes with a good eye lash curler (I’ve used Shu Uemura eyelash curler for years).

And off to the beach you go!

Beso,

Revlon Photo Ready Foundation

July 20, 2010 by odeliza | No Comments | Filed in Beauty Tips, Favorite Products, Hauls

I purchased the Revlon Photo Ready Foundation in Golden Beige by color comparison I’m an NC35 in MAC’s foundations.Golden Beige is a bit light but rather close to my natural skin tone. The next time I stop by the drug store I’ll have to find one shade darker and try to mix the colors in an attempt at a more honey beige color.I’m naturally tanned. Unless of course I’ve abused time in the sun therefore I turn into Poka Hountess-ish :P Anyways.

At first I was a bit skeptical, in the past, I was not impressed by the quality of most drug store brand makeups. Revlon’s PhotoReady foundation really surprised me.

First I must digress a bit. Having traveled and lived in and around South American countries, I’ve found that what’s considered to be a “Drug Store” brand cosmetic line in North America and United Kingdom is advertised and sold in most South American countries as a “Higher End” brand cosmetic line. So, with this in mind I approach cosmetic products with the idea that it’s all about the marketing and availability and one must really aim at trying any product first no matter what name brand it boasts.

So, tried Revlon’s PhotoReady, for one week. Upon first application I noticed right away that my skin tone looked Even and Radiant. Then through out the entire day (including the evening) the foundation stayed put. Note, it was a rather hot and humid day, so I was really impressed that I did not show too much shine around my T-Zone areas and that my foundation did not melt off or require touch ups.

Revlon PhotoReady foundation boasts a pore less and an airbrushed finish in any light. With photo-chromatic pigments that bend and reflect light to help disguise flaws. Its Oil free, Fragrance free and most importantly has SPF 20. Wow!

The container has a pump, which I favor most than a compact and a simple cap. The pump helps control the amount dispensed, I used only half a pump and the results were medium coverage. Double Wow!

Prices really very from country to country, but in North America, I paid around $14.00. I think this is a deal! Considering I’ve paid up to $60.00 to $100.00 USD for foundation.

I hope my product review for Revlon’s PhotoReady Foundation was helpful and maybe amusing! Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter for all the happenings with my globe trotting life!

Ciao Belas!

How to Get the Most out of your Facial Mask

July 1, 2010 by odeliza | No Comments | Filed in Beauty Tips, Favorite Products

Ever since I’ve been using Elizabeth Arden Deep Clean Facial Mask my face has been less prone to monthly breakouts, no blotching, smaller pores, and firmer skin!

I love the Deep Clean Facial Mask! Its Fabulous.

Here are some tips to get the most out of your facial mask.

How to Get the Most out of your Facial Mask

1. Make sure your face has been exfoliated prior to applying your mask.

2. Once you’ve rinsed your face, press warm water all through out your entire face including your neck.

3. Do not wipe off the warm water! Apply a very thin layer of facial mask on to your face as well as your neck. * Applying warm water on your face prior to applying the mask helps open up your pores as well as acts as an agent to get the most out of your mask.* I learned this trick from my mother, a licensed Esthetician for over 20 years.

4. Allow to sit on your face for the amount of time specified on the bottle or container. Rinse off and pat on your facial tonic, apply eye cream, then moisturizer, and an SPF cream if you are going out side no matter if the sun doesn’t shine!
