beauty is a choice

Welcome readers. Thank you for stopping by. Here is more than you will ever want to know about me and my interest. But there is alot of information that is scattered online, in books, and out in the real world. I have gathered the GOOD TO KNOW STUFF so read on it, talk about it, comment, and spread my word:P

Clinique followed through,


Longer lashes, getting easier. With products like Latisse and Lilash out there
anyone can have longer eyelashes.
Now, its a matter of what you do with them once they're long.

CLINIQUE came out with a bottom lash mascara.
Its $10.00 at Sephora
So this was recommended to by a close friend who knows how crazy I am
about makeup.
I LOVED IT.
It is a little hard to use at first but it separates them very neatly and 
makes each lash count.

Improved hair style!



I got a lot of compliments on my hair on this day. I used a 1 and 1/2 curling iron..
I curled every section away from my face starting from the root and then working my way down the strand of hair.. BIG WAVES... oh, and dont forget to tease... your hair I mean :D

Awesome Xmas present for any girl!

I was at the Beauty section @ Barnes and Noble and this book caught my eye. I sat down and started skimming through it. Like 45 minutes later, i realized i was reading full pages because everything in it makes perfect sense.

It tells you whats appropriate to wear to anything and everything.  Ex: job interviews, baby showers, even what to wear when you break up with ur boyfriend. There is also many pictures and DOS and DONTS.

Never again will you have the anxiety of what to wear to an event because if you read this book, you will look foward to events so you can put into practice what u learn.

The very first words say it all:

"FIRST KNOW WHO YOU ARE, THEN ADORN YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY." -- COCO CHANEL

Icons..

I think its important for every girl to have a celebrity icon to look up to. Whether its how they style their hair, fashion sense, or just admiring their lifestyle. Everyone who knows me knows that i have this obsession (another one) with KimKardashian.
I love the way she dresses, the way she handles herself, and the way you get what you want just by being pretty! Just look at her, you know its hard work looking that good every day. I think her hair always looks awesome, i think she dresses according to her body type and not over exposes her curves, and her smokey eye/nude lips look is FAMOUS!!   Here are my favorite pics of her and why.

JUST LOOK AT WHO SHE IS WITH!

HAIR STYLE! HELLO!

FASHION SENSE

CLASSY YET CUTE AND SEXY

VERY MODERN AND COMFORTABLE

YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ELEGANT

YOUNG AND HOT! WITH BEAUTIFUL HAIR

EASY WARDROBE

LOOOOOOONG HEALTHY HAIR

FASHIONISTA DAY  OR NIGHT!

ALWAYS COORDINATES PERFECTLY

SHES JUST GORGEOUS

BOTOX

Ok, I know what ur thinking...Poison? Frozen Look? Lack of facial expressions?


WRONG!


I happen to think,  well i should say know, that this product is one of the best anti-aging remedy in history.


Does botox paralyze ur muscles?
YES ON PURPOSE, U WONT MOVE THEM AND THE LACK OF MOVING THEM WILL AVOID THE CONSTANT WRINKLING


Can it kill you?
YES, IF U HAD LIKE 10,000 WORTHS OF UNITS.THE MOST IVE SEEN INJECTED IS 56 AND ITS LOCAL. BESIDES, IT GOES AWAY IN 3-4 MONTHS. ITS NOT PERMANENT.


What are the common side effects?
POSSIBLE BRUISING. MINOR HEADACHES. VERY RARE IS TO HAVE DROOPING IN THE EYELID (I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS)


Do I have it done?
YES! I love it.Its very natural. Doesnt hurt. makes my face look smoother and will keep me young. I get it on my forehead lines(12 units) and glabella(20 units).  Can be pricey, but the more you wait, the more you'll hate



DONT BE AFRAID OF BOTOX. THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENS IS YOU LIKE IT :D

HaiR always FITS!

So, here is my take on hair. The difference between hair and other BEAUTIFYING protocols is that unlike clothes, HAIR ALWAYS FITS if u take the time to do it. Gaining weight is never an issue. Unlike shoes, you dont feel like throwing them out the car at 4am after a long night of dancing. Unlike makeup, you never run low on "electricity" for your curling iron!


Now I AM in love with my hair, this may seem conceided but if you know me, you know why. I love styling it and ill do research for hours on how to style it better! Of course i have the best stylist in the world (CHAPIS :)   ALE MENDEZ, but damn do i do my best in taking care of it.. AND yes, i do have glued on extensions.


I found this chick on youtube who has earned my respect!!!! She is unbelievable with her hair.. WATCH AND LEARNNNNNNNN!


CLICK ON THE LINKS FOR THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS:D ENJOY: Soft romatic curls
I used a 2 inch curler




So everyone should own:
Curlers : 1 inch, 1 1/4 inch, 1 1/2 inch, and a 2 inch:D
Waver
and 2 straighteners: small & big
