found here


First let's go over the entries of all my lovely ladies



first up is my beautiful friend Margie from SimplyFabulouss:

"My ultimate favorite Lig Gloss #14 from Sephora... I put this one once and im good for a few hours.. Love the glossy, nude finish :)"



"I love changing my nail polish color every couple of days and Salle Hansens Insta-dri polish has got to be my ultimate favorite. This color is one of my recent buys and i love it. It really does dry very fast giving it a salon finish."






next up we have Tallen, a fabulous elementary school friend:

"I just bought the Buxom Lips by Buxom which is a product line developed by Bare Escentuals. Its gives perfect pouty lips swells 'em up a lil bit and the product has "all natural ingredients" and u feel the minty-ness when u apply it. Feels gooooooood."




"and all MAC pigments! I love all of MAC cosmetics for there colors"






now we have my beautiful friend Yary, whose devotion to my blog reminds me why i love doing this:

"Olay active hydrating beauty fluid is my favorite face cream because it doesn't leave my face feeling oily and it's not too aggressive in my pores, at least that's what I think lol and I also love the smell of it : ) "



"I also looooove my Biore strips!! I use them at least once a week. I tried other brands but this one worked best for me! I saw things if you know what I mean lol and pulling these babies off is like drinking a glass of confidence. So when I know I'm gonna be wearing makeup I like to use this a day before. If you notice, these are in chinese and that's because every time Serena goes to Hong Kong I always request for these as they're sooooo much cheaper to get from there : ) so I stock up for until she goes back."






now it's JT's turn, one of the many great friends that came with my BF :) :

"Nars red lipstick-shanghai express (unfortunately has been discontinued but I have like 2 extra for back up lol) I found this lipstick 4 yrs ago at sephora... I grew up always loving red lipstick bc that's all my grams wore :0) however I was always self conscience of wearing it bc I have big lips and I could never find the perfect red that wasn't too shiny or bright and had the right consistency/texture. This red covers all the above characteristics that I wanted in a red lipstick hence why I bought 2 back ups... Lol I attached some pics for u to see why this joints my fave!"



"Loreal-pigment cream eyeliner. Geneva introduced me to this eyeliner. I love it bc its the line comes out clean, crisp and stays on all freaking day/night!!! No matter what the circumstances are bad weather, sweaty club night, hot steaming nights ;0) lol"




last but not least is my fav fellow colombian, Lina, i love this girl! :

"Nivea Body Goodby Cellulite Gel-Cream

This product is amazing! You can find it at target for about 10 bucks. In 3-4 weeks I saw drastic results. I bottle lasts about a month if you use the product two times a day. You have to apply it either once or twice a day and rub the area where you are applying the gel. I use it on my legs and booty and the results are noticeably visable. I first started using it last year when I went to Miami I tried it starting a month before I went and my legs looked great out there. The scent is not too bad and goes away quickly. Also the product takes about 2 mins to dry which is good when you are in a rush to get to work in the morning. We all hate cellulite and this is a great way to make it go away. BTW the results are not permanent they are temporary so you have to keep using it. Now I only use it once or twice a week but it keeps the cellulite to a minimum and I HATE CELLULITE fyi. lol"




"Jergins Natural Glow Express Moisturizer

I was always skeptical about self-tanning products because I had heard horror stories of ppl turning orange and I've seen orange ppl on the trains and streets not a cute look! lol So my friend the other day had a great glow to her and I said what's different and she said I used this tinted moisturizer. I went to target the next day and said I want my summer color back! So i bought this product also 10 dollars at target. I LOVE IT! you notice a change right away. I used it at night because I wasn't sure how it would work/look when I put on make up. It looks very natural and works instantly. Remember to wash your hands after. I wasn't too bright and had dark fingers for a couple days lol. I used it once 4 days in a row bc i got excited and started to look a little unnatural so I recommend using it only once maybe twice a week and that's what I've been doing and it doesn't let me look pale and sickly which is my natural look barf! haha also I have to use less bronzer now which is a plus! i'm trying to put on less makeup =/"
