Question: How do I dress chic without going over board with the latest accessories?

October 27, 2010 by odeliza | No Comments | Filed in Makeup Tutorials

Well, I’m not by any means a pro Stylist, I think I need to hire one for my own personal sanity. Its hard to keep up with the latest fad. I keep abreast with Makeup Artistry since this is the field I am in and most passionate about. So here is what I do…

Answer:

Stream line for me, basically means, “one thing at a time”. So I’ll wear neutral colors such as dark rinse skinny jeans and a black loose top with a fabulous pop of color such as my favorite burnt orange silk and cashmere scarf and my David Small Comb gold filled and silver cuff bracelets. I think there is such a thing as ‘accessories overload’. What I mean by that is, if one were to wear all at one time, several pieces of necklaces, chunky bracelets on both wrists, a scarf, a chunky watch, large hoop earrings, and well…you get the jest right?

2. Go for quality instead of quantity. I’m a firm believer in purchasing items of fabulous quality such as a well made boy friend blazer, a perfectly cut black cropped leather jacket, well crafted booties, and real precious stones and metal accessories. I may not have a closet full of clothes, shoes, and accessories, however my wardrobe selections are classic pieces of fabulous quality.

3. Keeping it Real. There is no point in going out to buy a bunch of dupes. Save your money to buy one real one.

The unfortunate demand on dupe ‘designer’ handbags are just so sad ;(

It’s an illusion really. Designers portray this particular jet set female with a fabulous wardrobe selection, to drop dead for handbags and shoes, and a stress free easy living life. I may travel around the world, but let me tell you, I’m not a jet setter. I’m just an average person with every day stress and every day happiness.

There are some designer that offer fabulous handbags which for me are drool worthy, however I will not go out and buy a dupe. I’d rather save my money for the real thing and love what I have now. More so, I’d much rather save my money for a trip to Ko Phi Phi.

Smashbox Wish Holiday 2010

October 11, 2010 by odeliza | No Comments | Filed in Favorite Products, Hauls

Oi Amigas,

I’m so excited to share with you my most recent makeup haul! Come read all about hauls here. I love Smashbox! I’ve been a loyal supporter since the late 90′s.

I think this Wish Palette is a good deal for the price. I paid 45 USD for the palette and the lip glosses are 29 USD and eye pencils 16 USD. Most of you know how much I love a good deal, their holiday edition is definitely a STEAL!

I’ve 2 Makeup Tutorials, Smashbox Make A Wish Series 1 and Halloween Sexy Devil, come check it out if you haven’t already. As you can see a little goes a long way with these pigments.

12 x 0.63 oz eye shadows:

#1 champagne

#2 soft gray

#3 matte bone

#4 ballet pink

#5 shimmering bronze

#6 mauve

#7 aqua

#8 cool gray

#9 warm brown

#10 eggplant

#11 deep teal

#12 charcoal

1 x 0.02 oz Photo Finish Lid Primer Mini
1 x 0.20 oz Lash DNA Mascara Mini

In my video I used blue-black as a base liner. It looks black if applied with an eye-liner brush, but if smudged, OMG! The color is FABULOUS! It looks like the South Pacific waters where it’s blue and black. I’d say, it looks like the ocean surrounding the French Polynesian islands. Seriously. Memories, aw how I long to go back ;(

These are the cream liners of the Wish Palette. The Palette is numbered according to their Eye Wish Look Book. You’ll find step by step instructions on how to get Smashbox’s celebrity looks. I think I might recreate their looks in feature tutorials;) Starting from the upper left corner is no. 13 which is a dark brown with a slight metal shine. No. 14 is a rich black violet. No. 15 is my all time favorite, a gorgeous blue black shade. No. 16 is a gun metal which is at the very lower right corner.

4 x 0.03 oz Limitless Eye Liners in Onyx, Orchid, Graphite, and 14k

The liners are very creamy. I have to spend some more time getting to know these pencils before I do a complete write up. So with the colors in mind, here are the swatches.

Starting from right to left in the lower half of my brazzo (arm), Graphite a gun metal shine, Orchid a rich plum, 14K a slightly gold fleshy toned color is the best description I could find. Lastly the bottom isĀ  Onyx, black with no shine.

2 x 0.20 oz lip glosses in Luster (sheer golden pink) and Candid (pink with gold shimmer)
4 x 0.14 oz lip glosses in Radiant (shimmering pink plum), Baby Pout (a sheer and shimmering version of Pout), Ecstasy (shimmering blackberry), and Divine (golden nude)

Beginning from the top of my brazzo (arm), Ecstasy which is a rich shimmery plum, Radiant a sheer plum with shimmer, Divine a nude with gold shimmer, and Baby Pout, a sheer flesh toned color.

The .20 oz lip glosses, from bottom to top, Luster is a sheer flesh toned color with a very light gold hue and Candid is my all time FAV. It’s the peachy pinky gloss for Fall and Winter! I love it! I think I’m going to buy a few more wands just in case they stop carrying it.

Bom Amigas, I hope this post was helpful :) Thanks for stopping by my website and if you haven’t already please show your support by subscribing to my Beauty Channel and passing it along to your BFFS and friends…Frenimes too ;P
