Beauty Favorites for Skin and Hair

"Street Lights, Big dreams all looking pretty. No place in the world that can compare"                         

I am currently in New York City on vacation and absolutely loving everything about this fabulous city.  It feels amazing to be able to blog directly from the big apple.  Everywhere you go in New York City you find something that inspires you. From the street art in Time Square to the glamorous lifestyle of Upper East, new york city to me is my muse. No matter how many times I visit I fall in love every single time. 

During my visit I picked up some amazing products for this months haul.  I am so excited to recommend this life saving hair and skin must haves to my lovely readers. If you are like me and you love using hot tools on your hair and have tried every single cream, serum, and masque on the market and can’t seem to get healthy looking hair than this post is for you ladies!

I have colored my hair so many times I already lost count. I use hot tools practically every day and it has definitely taken a toll on the look and texture of my hair. But  since I have been using this products I have noticed a dramatic change in my hair.  My hair now looks and feels smoother and hydrated even though I have kept the same hair styling routine as before. I have  been using this products for about a week and a half and have seen instant results. I found that with other styling creams, deep conditioners and serums that I had used in the past left my hair feeling oily and dry .But I never lost faith and I had herd about a couple of this products online and I decided to give it a shot.

Cleansing Conditioner 

Sweet Almond Mint 

I actually came across this product on Tv and I was a bit skeptical. It has good reviews on television but you know how that goes. Sometimes those products turn out to be nothing like you expect it to be. But I went online and read some reviews and decided to try it. I like this product I wouldn't say I love it but it does smell really good and it definitely conditions my hair.

Mystic Divine Luminous Shine 

Smoothing Masque

Contains Tahitian Tamanu Oil, Moroccan Argan Oil, 

African Shea Butter and Camelia Oil. I am head over heels over this masque after damaging my hair with chemicals so often my hair has lost natural oils and my hair was in desperate  need of some hair therapy.  This is honestly like pixie dust for you hair. ladies this is a must have!

Skin Products | Products Para la Piel 

Victoria Secret Bronze Instant Bronzing Tinted Shimmer Lotion 

with natural Shea Butter.

We all need that extra summer glow and what better way than with an instant bronzer that does not stain your skin. Victoria Secret has my favorite bronzer of all time it gives your tan a radiant boost that helps blur the look of imperfections giving your skin a flawless feels and look.

It contains Vitamin E that helps nourish your skin! 

Next Monday I will be posting a New York City Photo Collage of what I wore

Healthy Living with a Twist

Hola Mis Amores, New Year  Eve is a time where a lot of us start to think back to the previous year, and start to reminisce on all the things that went right and wrong this year. We began 2014 with a different mindset, and now that it is coming to an end you realize how much this year has changed you. From the one to many " this could be something" moments to those unforgettable nights with your family and friends.2014 was for me at least a year of constant growth. I learned that you have to step outside of your comfort zone to start living, I learned how to love myself for who I am and finally understood that life is all about timing.  You have to love yourself before you can try to love someone else, and for me changing my lifestyle gave me a whole new perspective on life. I know this post is a bit melancholic but hopefully you can relate to me in some way or another. The point of this post isn't to share with all mis amores my  love life or get all emotional, in fact it's about changing your lifestyle this upcoming  new year.

For me changing my eating habits was one of the best things I did this year. Being healthy in mind,body and soul ignites an explicable sense of happiness in you. I have put together a list of healthy products, meal ideas and my favorite work out videos that have helped me become a healthier individual, and hopefully it will also help you reach your New Years resolution. 

Let 2015 be a year without any boundaries. Step out of your comfort zone, pursue something you love regardless of what other may think. Live your life without any restrictions, because at the end of the day you will look back and regret not making the best of the time you have. If you lose friends and lovers in the process of chasing your happiness, don't let it bring you down. You are stronger then you think, and just know that those people who have stood by you through every unanswered text and disappointment those people are your biggest supporters.

Get Ready for Bed With Me: My Skincare Routine

Hello Mis Amores, There is no better feeling than being able to jump into bed with a clean face in your favorite sweat pants, and scroll through your feed. So tonight’s post is about my favorite part of my day. When I am able to take off my make-up and cleanse my skin. My skincare routine takes me about 10 minutes using my top three favorite products.If you are like me and you are guilty of falling asleep with  make-up on after a long day or after a few drinks too many, I hope this post changes that habit. Dermatologist have conducted studies on the effects of sleeping with makeup and the results are terrifying.Your face can age  by as much as ten years in a single month, as a result of failing to remove your make-up .Many of the products we use on a daily bases on our skin prevents the process of microcirculation, as a result it causes wrinkles and clogged pores. If you don't want to end up with an annoying breakout,I would highly recommend  getting into a skincare routine that works for you and your skin type. Did you know that sleeping with lipstick on causes dryness and chapping of the lips  (huh-uh honey no kissing for you) and sleeping with your mascara on can cause conjunctives (aka pink eye) I don't about you but a swollen eye is not my ideal surprise to wake up to (maybe, a cute morning text or extra money in my bank account would be better.... plot twist when none of those things happen to me lol ), but worst of all over night mascara causes your beautiful eyelashes to become brittle and start falling off. Don't become a slave to false eyelashes ( although, they are fabulous) if you don't have the time to do a full skincare routine, make it your every night ritual to at least use a  make-up removing whip. 

Here is my skincare routine, this products work amazing on my oily t-zone skin. There are so many fabulous skin care products out there, but I am a huge advocate of organic tea tree leaf foam cleansers. Tea tree oil contains properties that prevent bacteria from building up under your pores, and helps prevent acne from surfacing. 

 The Body Shop Tea Three skin clearing foaming Cleanser 

( removes impurities and excess oil)

The Face Shop Black Sugar cleansing cream.

(removes blackheads,make-up and skin impurities & it smells delicious) 

Equate Cleansing and Make-up Removing Towelettes

( contains vitamin E and triple tea complex, they leave your skin super soft)

My Skincare Routine 

step one: wash your hands prior to  beginning your routine.Begin by using the make-up removing towelettes. Gently begin to remove your make-up.

Step two:   Finish removing your eye make-up with the black sugar cleansing cream and proceed by massaging your  face in a circular motion. Do this for about 3 minutes and wash with warm water.

Step three: Use the tea tree cleansing foam and leave it on your face for about 3-5 minutes and wash.

These three easy steps have helped me improve the appearance of my skin, and prevent future breakouts.

Keep your skin looking beautiful and youthful, don't lose your glow & always remember you are beautiful !
