OOTD and Hav's No Buy Challenge

This I what I wore last night to my twin niece and nephew's 5th birthday party. I went out with some friends afterward so I needed a transitional outfit as I like to call it. I wore flat shoes to the party then switched into the wedged boots. Can you believe this outfit cost under under one hundred dollars??? I posted the details beneath the second picture.

Esto yo lo que llevaba la noche anterior a la celebraccion de cumpleanos de mi sobrina y sobrino. Son gemelos y cumplieron cinco anos de edad. Salí con unos amigos después, así que necesitaba un equipo de transición, como me gusta llamarlo. Me puse los zapatos planos a la fiesta y luegos cambie a las botas de cuña. ¿Puedes creer que este costo en conjunto menos de cien dólares?? He publicado los detalles debajo de la segunda imagen.

My No-Buy Challenge (Mi Desafio De No Comprar)

I have noticed that I spend too much on clothing and that I could save a lot by cutting back on my shopping. I have decided to go on a no-buy and challenge myself to spend less and be more creative with the clothes I already have. I'm going to be blogging about my journey and also doing posts on any repeat outfits worn a different way. Wish me luck!

Me he dado cuenta de que gastar mucho dinero en ropa y que me podría ahorrar una gran cantidad por la reducción de mis compras. He decidido ir a un no-comprar y desafiarme a mí mismo para gastar menos y ser más creativos con la ropa que ya tenemos. Voy a serun blog sobre mi viaje y también hacer los mensajes en cualquier trajes usados ​​repetir de una manera diferente. Deséame suerte!

I'm always dyeing my hair sporadically. My hair color usually reflects the mood I'm in for that moment. I decided to go dark for Fall/Winter and I chose a dark chocolate brown, which is the color I had for last Winter. In a couple of months, I'll re-dye it and mix with a different color to add more tones and depth. I do all my hair dyeing myself since I usually stay in the brunette family and I don't do anything too complicated. I also do my own highlights, including the ones I had before my current hair color. I don't trust salons after I was left with orange hair this one time.

When I dye my hair, I don't buy the box dyes. I buy the color and developer separately. It comes out cheaper and I also like it because I can mix shades to create my own custom color and I can control the developer level as well. The dyes are the same formula as box dyes, you just have more color choices and you can choose to mix them with a higher level developer. However, I don't recommend doing this unless you have some hair coloring knowledge or speaking with someone that's a hair color expert.

That was the same brand of dye and developer I used for my current color. Except that I used three bottles because I have a lot of hair and it's long as well. I used level 20 developer this time because I was going darker. This was my hair color before: 

And this is my hair color now: 

I also went to the salon afterwards and trimmed my hair and added layers, which is why it looks shorter in the front. I do several things to maintain my hair so that it could be healthy and not lose it's shine. I did a haircare regimen post a few months ago, you can go HERE to read it.

Jordana Loose Eyeshadows Swatches and Review

Jordana Loose Eyeshadows in shades "Brownie" and "Going Green"

I discovered these while making a trip to the beauty on my lunch break and they immediately caught my eye. They just looked so pretty and the price made them even more tempting, only 1.99 USD for each one! So I bought two and decided to try them out.

I'll start out by saying that these are definitely a great buy! They are really pigmented and when applied wet, the colors look even more intense. They have great staying power and I didn't have much issue with fallout when I was swatching them. I used "Going Green" in a mermaid inspired look I did. I used a damp brush and it wasn't difficult to apply and blend with other colors. I would definitely recommend this product if you want to stock up on loose eyeshadows that are really affordable.

You can find these anywhere where they sell Jordana products. Most beauty supply stores carry them as well as Cherry Culture.

To Sum It All Up:

PROS: Great pigmentation, really affordable, easy to use, available in a lot of places.

CONS: None!

RATING: 5/5

Beyonce "Countdown" Makeup Tutorial

First of all I would like to apologize for the iffy editing, I was using a different editing program and it wouldn't let me adjust the sound for each individual clip, which explains why the sound is so low in the beginning.

I really like the video to this song, it's fun and colorful. I did this tutorial based on the look Beyonce is wearing in the very beginning of the video. I loved the Audrey Hepburn homage. Enjoy!
