Maybelline Hot Plum Color Sensational Vivids Lip Color
Maybelline Hot Plum Color Sensational Vivids Lip Color ( 6$) is a vibrant fuchsia pink with a creamy, balm-like finish. It's fairly pink for a lipstick named 'Hot Plum', so if you're expecting something more plum/purple, this won't be it. It's really gorgeous never-the-less, and if you love bright, cool-toned pinks, you'll love this lipstick.
The formula is wonderful. The lipstick applies smoothly and the color is almost opaque in one pass. It's also hydrating enough where I don't need to apply a lip balm first, though I wouldn't particularly consider it to be moisturizing (very few lipsticks are with my dry lips). It's lightweight, has a little slip to it and feels good on the lips.
What's impressive is the lasting power. The color stays strong for several hours and leaves a lingering bright pink stain behind on the lips once most of the lipstick wears off.
Would I recommend? Heck yes! I want every single shade in the Vivids line. They're all beautiful!

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream
Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream ( 9$) s described as a "1-step wonder" for your skin. It combines 8 skin benefits for instant skin perfection. These benefits include: bluring your skins imperfections, brightening up the skin, evening out the skintone, smoothing, enhancing and hydrating your skin, and lastly protects your skin with 30 SPF. It also doesn't contain any oils or heavy ingredients.
Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream is available in (5) shades: Light, Light/Medium, Medium, Medium/Deep and Deep.
Since the formula is so sheer, it's very forgiveable if you pick up a shade that is too light or dark. I have the shade Light/Medium, and it works really well for me when I have a light tan going on - around the MAC NC25 coloring.
My method of application is my fingers, applying it as I would a moisturizer, in small, light circular motions until blended. If I want to build slightly more coverage (not much, though) I'll add an additional layer on certain areas by dabbing and lightly dragging the product down my face until blended.
The coverage is sheer to light. It won't conceal imperfections, but it will tint the skin as well as make the skin look more even. I really like the way it looks on my skin. I use facial self tanners, so sometimes my skin isn't always even, and this evens out my skin color well and makes my skin look smooth, fresh and dewy.
This is ideal for those who already have pretty good skin, but would like something extremely natural and sheer on days where you don't want to wear makeup or don't want to look like you are wearing makeup. It's great for daytime, especially if you spend some time in the sun because it has a high SPF. You won't catch me running errands bare faced, but I like to wear this and a little concealer when I want to fake it!

How To Get Instant CheekBones
Do you dream of having gorgeous, flushed cheekbones that glow? Not everyone has beautiful cheekbones in their genes, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t fake them. Contouring usually requires three shades of blush. You can buy them separately or as a set.
Follow the Steps to get the look :
Use a color that’s darker than your natural skin tone. This will be our contour color. Make a fishy face by sucking in your cheeks, this will show you the hollows of your cheeks. Using an angled blush brush, apply the color to the hollows of your cheeks and blend upwards towards your temple. Do this with a light hand as too much blush will make you look like Bozo the clown.Now make a big, smile! The part of your cheeks that are pushed up are the apples of your cheeks. Apply a lighter shade to the apples. Again, do this with a light hand and do not over blush the apple as it will take away from the contouring below that we just did.
Use a very light, shimmery color to make your cheeks glow . Apply the highlighter in a “C” shape from your temple/eyebrow and down to the top of the apples of your cheeks.
So remember: contour and shade the bottom, highlight the top. There are tons of other contouring/highlighting products out there, so be sure to check around and see which one has a shade that you like. The colors are Sophisticated Sable, Purely Plum, Peach Perfection, and Refined Rose. They are an excellent value and really do work great.

10 Tips of Eva Mendez for a toned body !
Eva Mendez is not only a beauty icon.Above all she is a woman who loves herself and invests a lot of time to feel good with herself and her key words are : 'movement' & 'love for yourself'. In this post we want to show you her practical tips to have a 'perfect' body even if we cannot allow to ourselves to go everyday at the gym or workout.
1.ALWAYS BE YOURSELF !
There is nothing wrong with wanting a thin and perfect body.But always look to fix in your mind who you are .
Fighting against your body ? That makes no sense ! If you have sensual curves dont try to modify your appearance totally,but do your best to value it.
2.Follow a balanced diet !
Even if you cannot believe it I'm so against diets.The only thing I do is I reduce the portions.I'll reveal you another secret :when you have a big desire for chocolate do NOT deny yourself a little piece of it.A square is not going to damage you and it is not going to make you add weight.
3.Say 'YES' to detoxification periods!
No diets but once in a long time have time to detoxificate.Once you have tried it you will understand how many benefits it brings : you will have more energy, your skin is going to thank you and your body will be cleared.
There are so many ways to detoxificate your body that can last only one day ( and usually are made once a week) or they last 7 days . The most important thing is to strictly follow the rules and I assure you that after that you are going to feel so good .
4.Say 'YES' to walks!
If you dont like to go often at the gym you can always go for a lovely walk everyday.Maybe in the evening when you get back from work or in the morning, before you go to work.Personally when I want to exercise
I prefer a lovely walk in fresh air instead of closing between 4 walls.
5.Yoga for your body and mind!
Doing Yoga here in Hollywood is a real trend that no one could resist.Having a favorable climate is not weird seeing people in the middle of the lawns in different meditation positions.I really like yoga ,it is a really good exercise that helps your mind , your soul . Thats why i try to do yoga 2 times a week.
6.Individual Exercise !
It is so true. Sometimes it can be nice going for a walk or at the gym with a friend, but if you have noticed ,it is better exercising alone.Do not flex to exercise with the others.Training is an extremely personal ritual and it doesnt work the same for all.Personally I prefer to exercise alone .
7.Find the time even when it seems impossible !
Im aware that it is really difficult to find the time for everything.Working, dedicating to your private life,or social life and having time to exercise.It is important to understand that you dont have to stay 2 hours in gym or run for 1 hour .It is better run for 20 min but constantly that a sporadic exercise with a longer duration.
8.Sacrifices !
Unfortunately this is one of the most tedious of needs that must cease.You have to find something on your menu that you have to cease to reduce the calories taken in 1 day.If I dont exercise one day I care more for what I eat, because I'm not going to burn the calories I burn when i run. So for that day STOP PIZZA !
9.Reduce stress!
We all have stressful moment caused by work,love or any other reason.Important is to control our stress and try to eliminate the bad energies .Find a way. Maybe a dinner with friends,a warm bath,a SPA day,or an evening lying on sofa watching a film.
10.BE Sure in yourself!
Of course having a perfect body can help you a lot.Even if you are not thin the fact that you are secure in yourself will make you shine in the eyes of everyone.For me this means that firstly you have to admit that some things can be changed and some others no.I also do think that is really important to smile and laugh.
