The Pretty Kitty

As a beauty junkie you are always looking for great new products that you can add to your beauty routine or go to products that will essentially help you in the process of making your makeup look better. I know I look for many qualities in a great product; price, availability, quality, effectiveness and much more. Unfortunately many of those do not make the cut. If you are like me I only like to keep what I need. I am not a makeup hoarder, if it doesn't workout I have sisters I can give them to if I know I can't return. Here is a few of the items I think were not worth it for me. Of course you have to remember every body/skin type is different so what might have worked for me would not work for you. This is my experience, my opinion.

I am so lucky California does not have freezing cold weather. I am able to wear skirts or dresses during this Fall/Winter.  Outfit Details: Jacket: Express Dress: H&M Booties: Just Fab

I love wearing fashionable clothing that can be used various times. I know it is important to stay relevant with fashion trends but I also believe your closet should consist of mostly classic and staple pieces you know that can be mixed and matched with other items and that you know will be worn many times. I love affordable! Don't we all. I know I have fun looking through fashionmia.com and all the great pieces you can get both affordable and in style. Because of the holidays I decided to go with this beautiful red gown that compliments my figure and it is the right amount of sexy.

Eyebrows are an essential to making the perfect makeup look. I feel like most of us struggle with eyebrows. I know I am not an expert with it but with Billion Dollar Brows I was able to create a better makeup look, a sharper look in just a minute or two. It is that easy! So I received 2 items the Billion Dollar Brows Best Seller Kit and the 60 seconds to Beautiful Brows . I was very lucky to have natural full eyebrows until I started threading, don't get me wrong I will not do anything but thread my eyebrows but thanks to a special someone my eyebrows are thinner, uneven and one is shorter than the other. I feel like a lot of women don't pay as much attention to their brows as they should.  I know we don't all do our makeup everyday but I do believe eyebrows make a great difference and should be considered even with minimal makeup. 

I try a batch of new great and not so great products. I also know there are lots of products that claim to do something but don't or that need extensive use to see a difference. Well with VII Beauty I was given the opportunity to try out their  VII code Oxygen Eye Mask Anti Aging Eye Pads  that work great for puffy eyes, dark circles, under eye bags, fine lines and more. As I age like many of us you start noticing the lines and circles specially since I have a lot of trouble sleeping at night. I love the mask because it really works and it is so convenient. You can wear the mask after washing your face for the night. If you want you can wear 8 continuous hours, so there is no extra work there just leave it on while you sleep. It is comfortable and stays in place. It does not have a smell. It as a very soft gel like feeling but once you apply it sticks without sliding. You will immediately feel the cool sensation under your mask.

I was so excited to receive the Borghese Holiday Collection in the mail a week ago. I love so many things about Borghese including the product packaging. The first thing that I was drawn too of course was the palette  Eclissare Color Eclipse Shadow and Light Luminous Eye Palette , I had to take a look and swatch the colors. It is a thin elongated shape with a magnet clasp with the Borghese logo. Inside is a very cute mirror perfect to focus on your eyes. Inside is 12 shades from light to dark. I love smokey eye looks specially for special events or night outs. This palette lets you do a natural day look or dramatic eyes for night.  Last but not least it includes a duo fiber brush great for blending and smudging.  Makeup look using all Borghese products

I got nominated for the Liebster Award from the lovely Cynthia from See Style Run . I have been asked a few questions by Cynthia.  1. What inspired you to start blogging? I actually started blogging for a fashion class when I was doing my bachelors degree but I found out I actually enjoyed it so I continued to this date. I noticed I have grown in many ways and I have the platform that has recorded it all.  2. What blogs do you check on a regular basis? I love supporting other Latina Bloggers and Youtubers. I check Dulce Candy, LustreLux, Desi Perkins. 3. If you could be an accessory, what would you be? i love shoes and have an extensive collection of them. I love them because they can make an outfit. Turn some jeans and jacket into a date outfit or a day out with the girls, dress up or down with heels or booties. The options are endless.  4. What is one thing you wish you knew when you first started blogging? Social Media is very i...
