Last But Not Least

How are you doing today, my dear bloggers?
Well, I am doing just fine, thanks for asking. This week I have been very tired because in just two days ans six hours, we go out to holy week! woohoo! So I have been super lazy and just not having the strength to do anything at all. Well, that is it for now, and below you will find the last but not least make up tip that I promised:

Lips:

morning
Give dry, flaky lips the brush-off. Add "brushing your lips" to your morning ritual using a soft toothbrush or washcloth. Then apply lip balm to smooth the way for lipstick-worthy lips!

bedtime
Turn up the moisture before you turn out the lights. Give your lips a touch of clear, rich moisture each night and you'll wake up to softer lips in no time! Special tip: If you don't have lip balm, eye cream makes an effective, gentle lip moisturizer.

all day
Avoid over-exposure to the sun, which can dry your lips the way it dries the rest of you. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, we suggest Continuous Color Lipstick, with loads of conditioners and emollients built right in!

in the sun
Be sure to use a lip balm with sufficient sunscreen before and after soaking up the rays.

mouth off
Try coating extremely chapped lips with petroleum jelly or aloe vera overnight. Another speedy healing remedy is to gently rub lips with cucumber slices.

That isif for now, chao!

More Makeup Tips!

Hey guys,
I am so sorry I haven`t posted something in the last five days. You see, here in Bogota,Colombia, there is this thing called "puente", which means we don`t have school on mondays, because we are celebrating a holiday. In this case, students like me, take advantage of the extra day and go to the outskirts of Bogota. It is nice getting away for just three days because it is really cold in Bogota, but in the outskirts it has a warm temperture! Can you beleive that? By just traveling two hours away from Bogota, there is this drastic climate change, that is one thing I love about this place!

Oh! I almost forgot! I promised you guys a few other makeup tips, well, here they go!

EYES:

for deep-set eyes
•Rely on pale, shimmery shades to enhance your eyes. Sweep a light shade across lid from the inner corner to a just beyond the outer corner


for wide-set eyes
•Create closeness applying a deep shadow shade from the inner corner to mid-lid. Then apply a lighter shade from mid-lid to outer corner and blend where shades meet.

for close-set eyes
•Help them appear wider by applying a pale shade from the inner corner to mid-lid. Then apply a slightly deeper shade from mid-lid to outer corner and blend where shades meet

for glasses-wearers
•Forget about adding more color with shadows. Instead play up lashes with an inky black mascara.
•Take time to shape and define your eye brows—remember, brows should frame your eyes, not your frames.


for asian eyes
•To bring out their beauty, create a thick, smoky line along top lashes-thick enough to be seen when your eye is open-and a thinner one under bottom lashes

I am going to leave you with a little of intrigue, so be ready for tomorrow make up tips for lips!

Write to you later!

Clothes? Nope, Make up!

Bonjour!
I am feeling really "frenchy" because I just got out of french class! You should really try it, it is an amazing language, but at the same time, I am kind of bummed out because yesterday we had a bascketball game against another school, and we lost! It was very dissapointing, but our team played really well!

Back to fashion, I am going to change a little of our theme for today, we are going to talk about make up!

Face:
normal skin
Normal Skin usually looks and feels smooth, but can also react to changes in the environment: oilier in the summer and drier in the winter.
•Choose foundations and powders for normal skin, like TruBlend for easy shade matching or Clean for a water-based fresh feel.
•Apply a layer of moisturizer underneath for dry, winter conditions or whenever you enter a parched environment.
•Keep a pressed powder on hand for oilier moments or more humid days.

dry skin
Dry Skin occurs naturally as you age as the oil glands decrease their output. Dryness may also reflect your skin's sensitivity to skin care products, cleansers, or even your diet or your emotions.
•Choose double-duty foundations that moisturize while helping to smooth the appearance of skin's surface.
•Avoid alcohol-based products, like harsh toners and astringents.
•Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! If your skin is extra dry, try a tinted moisturizer as a base for your foundation.

oily skin
Oily Skin is shiny and sticky. It starts the day by feeling clean and fresh, but by noon, feels greasy and slick.
•Start with a deep cleanser that washes away dirt, oil, and fights bacteria.
•Try foundations and powders that help control oily shine without causing dryness to skin, like Clean Oil Control Makeup.
•Avoid touching your face during the day! Oils from your hands get transferred from your palms or finders without you even realizing!
•Change your pillowcases more often. Oils can get trapped in the cloth and later irritate skin.

combination skin
Combination Skin usually expresses its unique qualities with oiliness in the T-zone and normal-to-dry skin everywhere else.
•Choose an oil-managing powder for your T-zone (and other oily areas) like Fresh Look Pressed Powder.
•Use a flexible make-up routine to help cope with combination skin's many moods.

sensitive skin
Sensitive Skin easily gets blotchy or irritated when coming into contact with makeup, hair products-even sudden changes in temperature and humidity! Typical reactions are itching, burning, chafing and stinging skin.
•Don't use harsh facial washes or soaps whose main ingredients are alcohols or fragrances- they'll only further skin's irritation.
•Use an unscented moisturizer to strengthen your skin and provide a barrier against irritants.
•A key to clearness is in fragrance-free makeup, like Clean Makeup and Pressed Powder.

healthy skin basics
•Choose a diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables to nourish skin from the inside.
•Drink eight glasses of water a day to stay hydrated
•See a dermatologist for any persistent problems, including acne.
•Wear a sunscreen whenever you go outdoors to help prevent premature aging and sunspots.

Tomorrow I will post some tips for the eyes!
Blog to you tomorrow!

Here Comes Fashion Police

Buenas Tardes Followers! ( that means good evening in spanish)
How are you doing in this wonderful day?
Well, I have some exciting news for you today, I am going to talk about Fashion Police! That is just one of the many things I am obssesed with, arent you?
Well, here it goes:




Now this is the Jennifer Aniston I like to see. The actress heads out of the GMA studios looking chic in a belted black dress, lovely coat and Christian Louboutin peep-toe slingbacks—all modern, updated classics. Well, except for the hair, but we'll let it slide this time.


The 90210 star pairs a blue printed bubble skirt with a sweetheart bustier and strappy heels at the Kia Motors Matters on Design after-party in L.A. I dont really like the dress in general, but it does look good in her.

She's got legs! The actress spotlights her stems in a sexy white shirt-dress and ankle-strap heels at a friend's

baby shower in Hollywood. I absolutely ADORE the dress! Have to have it in my closet!

Long Story Short

sweethearts!
Wasn´t OSCAR week exhausting?
Well, I am glad that I could cover every single one of your doubts. You know that you can ask me anything you want. Because of the OSCARS, there hasnt been any recent red carpet, so I am going to tell you about me :)

School is doing good, but I did have a HUGE problem with my girlfriends. Look that I got into a really big fight with my two ex-bestfriends. It was a whole mess, I would tell you every single detail but it is just way long. So long story short, we had a huge fight including screaming, etc, and well now, we are not friends. Fortunately, there was a group of girls who told me to hang out with them, and now we are all friends and I am having a great time in school.

thanks for reading...........me:D

OSSCARR TIIMEE(singing right?)

My love`s!
I am soo sorry I couldnt blog to you last night while the OSACARS were playing! But I did took notes while watching them! You should of seen me, I was in my couch, with a jar of icecream right beside me, watching the OSCARS, while taking notes. My family was a little teeny cripped out beacuse I was like screaming at the TV whenever I saw I beautiful dress! It was funny.

OOOSSCCCARRR TTTIIMMMEE(singing right?)

It's Hollywood's biggest night and thank god Best Actress nominee (and best actress ever) Sandra Bullock pulled out all the stops on the red carpet with this metallic Marchesa gown with embroidered bodice. Sandy, you've never looked better!

It's been a rough red carpet season for Up In the Air's Anna Kendrick. She's yet to really wow us with any of her dress choices, and we were really hoping she'd figure everything out by the Oscars. Unfortunately, while this blush pink Elie Saab gown is pretty and feminine, it just sort of blends with her skin and, even worse, blends into the surroundings. That's just not cool on a night where the Best Supporting Actress nominee is supposed to stand out.

It wouldn't be a red carpet if Sarah Jessica Parker wasn't there carrying off some crazy fashion. Last Oscars it was a '50s-inspired Dior number, and this year she takes it into the '60s with this yellow silk Chanel Couture column gown. This is just the kind of thing I expect from SJP—and far from feeling predictable, I love it!

From the knees up, British nominee Carey Mulligan is a stunner in this Prada frock. The beaded, bejeweled bodice is fantastic, and it's just the sort of interesting detail we expect the quirky star to wear. But all that awesomeness is ruined by the skirt's asymmetrical bottom part and fugly heels. Too bad, this could've, would've, should've been amazing.

And in the Most Pleasantly Surprising category, it's Miley Cyrus for the win! Well, OK, the bunchy bustier needs some fixing, but besides that, this sequined Jenny Packham gown is the perfect mixture of youthfulness and glamour. Add the soft updo and some well-placed bling and this is the best Miley has ever looked.

Now this is the kind of gown that we watch the Oscars preshow for. Zoe Saldana's dramatic Givenchy couture gown is the kind of divisive (and different) design that you either love or hate. I? I`m going to have to go with Team Love It. It's got glitter, ruffles, color and ombre shading—what's not to adore?! Which side are you on?

Ahhh, I`m dying! Jennifer Lopez's strapless, origami-fold Armani Privé gown looks like the most elaborately designed piece of bubble wrap ever. We just wanna reach out and pop the plastic so bad—who wouldn't?—starting with the wad of material bunched into her massive hip adornment.

After spending the past year or so lecturing our little Twilight star Kristen Stewart to stand up straight, smile and brush her hair, I can't help but feel a little bit like a proud parent here. Her midnight blue Monique Lhuillier gown is both gorgeous and gothic (just how she likes it), and she actually looks happy to be wearing it. Success! Now let's just hope she keeps this up come Eclipse premiere time. Can`t wait!

Somebody peeked Taylor Swift's private sparkle dress closet! Cameron Diaz actually looks stunning in the glittery gown by Oscar de la Renta. More importantly, though, she's brushed and styled her hair! And her makeup is stunning. What can we say? Lady looks smokin'.

I am so excited! Guess whattt? Yes! You are right, the OSCARS are in 4 dayss! woohoo! and you won`t beleive what will make the day even better... my birthday is on the same day! I just couldnt choose a better day to celebrate my birthday! I can just imagine sitting on the couch with my new presents with friends and family watching the OSCARS and at the same time my birthday? whoa it is just to much excitement for one day!

Enough about me, lets now talk about fashion!
I am getting goosebumps on just thinking what are these amazing actors are going to wear? can you even imagine? I am going to go CRAZY with my blog after the OSCARS!


Here is another ineteresting story, check it out!

New York: Tommy Hilfiger, Malandrino, Ports 1961, Calvin Klein and Zac Posen Fall 2009

Don’t you just love starting the day with a tea and a little Tommy?
One of the first shows of the day was Tommy Hilfiger, but before I talk clothes, I must talk crushes. My main squeeze—well, officially Diane Kruger’s—is Joshua Jackson. He brought along his million-dollar smile, baby face and jet black Wayfarers.

Tommy boy’s inspiration: 5th Avenue. “Aspriational, yet attainable.”
Hot highlights: A sand-coloured suede zip-front coatdress, vintage cream jeans, candy pink satin corset dress, cropped black shearling motorcycle jacket and the pale pink lamé bow blouse.
All in the details: Lovely lace overlays, long skinny embellished clutches, lavish fur, transparent touches, electric colours, elegant draping and chain brooches.
The jacket to buy: A cropped waiter jacket with a fabulous furry collar.
Celeb spotting: Mary J. Blige, Mena Suvari, Sophia Bush.
Hair: sculpted into beautiful knots on top of the head. Kind of like delicious bows waiting to be untied.
Show tunes: “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Music this season has definitely carried a message.


Ports began with a performance by Red Baraat Festival! A Punjab drum and brass band, which was amazing. Note: live music at shows adds so much energy and atmosphere.
Theme: India’s Mughal Empire. Think masculine tailoring, ornate details, fitted bodices, dhoti pants, controlled volume and discreet touches of shine.
Best eveningwear alternative: An off-the-shoulder lamé top paired with matching drop-crotch trousers. So chic.
Everyone’s a critic: chatter on the way out consisted of comments on the “overstyling” of Ports shows.

Over to Calvin Klein for a touch of modernity. Season after season, this is truly a collection designed for New Yorkers.
Favorites: Black boots with thick straps, black crackled embroidered silk drawstring trousers, ivory and black dégradé painted velvet coat.
Hair: Buns continued to be a hair trend over at CK. This time around, the knots were unkempt, a little wispy, and held back with a thick black band.
Colour du jour: Black and more black. With a little ivory, sulfur and juniper thrown in for good measure.

Write to you later on my next post!
