Random!!

Okay guys so I have been sooo MIA lately ughhh.... I have been working so much and since I work so early and I am on the computer all day at work when I get home I just want to sleep!! =[

So I decided that I wont be doing the "Where I'd Go" posts on a set day. I will probably still do it once a week but not on a set day.

I am getting ready to leave to the Dominican Republic to be with my boo boo at the end of next month. I'm glad I have been getting so many hours at work because they will come in handy. I haven't been purchasing anything lately but I do have my eye on a couple of things....

Now I thought I might share my current shopping lists ideas. Everything I am getting is centered around my trip. I have alot of clothes at the boo boos house and here as well but I want to get a couple of fresh outfits anyways.

Forever 21 +

All I can add is some 2 for $5 flip flops from old navy and I am set! Well guys, I apologize for the lack of posts, I really want to post more often but it seems like there aren't enough hours in the day! My sisters baby shower is next weekend and now we are running around getting everything for that done as well... ughhh I sooo need my vacation! Alright guys until my next posts, ADIOS!!

Where Would I Go Wensdays...

Hey guys! Hope everyone is keeping cool in this 90+ degree weather (Jersey at least!) I have hardly been wearing any makeup, except for some bronzer, liner, and my Wet n Wild Lipsticks which I pat on my lips just to stain them and pair that with clear gloss. So I was trying to think of what kind of posts I would want to do, kind of on a weekly basis. I came up with Where Would I Go Wensdays... A bit corny but I love looking at different places and making mental notes for where I would go. So I am Dominican, and I just loveeee tropical places. I thought I would start out with a place in the Dominican Republic, so here it is.....

Pedernales, Republica Dominicana....

Bahia De Las Aguilas





Ughhh so this photo just takes my breath away, the beautiful color of the water, the sand.... I could just imagine it! So Bahia De Las Aguilas (Bay of the Eagles) is one of the most difficult beaches to get to. It is located basically in the middle of nowhere! You can there by boat or by 4x4 vehicle but it is a serious incline so if not experienced, better to take the boat! It will definitely be a long drive. I am always bugging the BF about wanting to take a week long road trip and just going somewhere we have both never been, this is definitely my top choice!. Everyone tells me it is worth the hassle getting there. It is actually part of a National Park so there is no development there. And you can actually go into the caves there and see carvings made by the Tainos that lived there years and years ago!





Since there is no development there, we would have to stay in Barahona but its not to far from this Paradise.... Here is a Map of the Dominican Republic. I am from the North West, San Fransisco De Macoris... Pedernales is allllll the way down, South East.







( F.Y.I. On the Bottom Right Corner I circled Higuey/Bavaro, which is where my Fiance lives!)

Okay guys, so I hope you liked my post. Let me know if you guys like these kind of posts??? There are soooo many places I want to go in the world. I think for the first couple of weeks I will show you guys places in the D.R. since I love being there so much! Take care, ADIOS!

MARK Glowdacious Illuminating Powder

Glow without trying! (their description lol)

Hey guys. So in the summer I am known to go bronzer/highlighter crazy and at this moment its what I've been loving. So I recently purchased this one from MARK and I have to say I am in LOVE! It is shimmery but not glittery and I use it on my lids, lips with a clear gloss on top and all over the face for that GLOW. Its $12.00 and I have got to say well worth the money. I am dying to tan because I love bronzer/highlighter with tan skin. I know its not good to tan but... sorry?

Pictures:









Okay so my crappy pics don't do it justice. It really is a pretty highlighter and they have 3 different choices from lighter for light skin to this one which is the darkest and most shimmery I think. Its called Amped Up. I really like a lot of Mark Products. I am thinking of becoming a Rep. but I'm not sure yet.....

Anybody else try this? Thoughts?


Walgreens Haul / Randomness!

Hey guys. So I was at Walgreen the other day. My sister wanted to get out the house (she's having a baby at the end of the month!! =] ). I ended up purchasing some things I found on sale. I finally got my hands on some Wet n Wild Lipsticks as well as one by Black Radiance. The Wet n Wild ones I got were, a bright pink one and a bright red one

$ 1.64 for Wet n Wild each
$ 2.00 for Black Radiance

Pink One : 905d  Loveee this color. Super bright, it reminds me of the bright inside of a Watermelon ha ha. I can't wait to get a tan and pair this with some bronze shimmer on the face and wild curly hair! A bit of a Matte finish. I wish I new the name of this particular line of lipstick, sorry guys =(

Red One : 910 D  Again, I love it!! This will be perfect for those Summer nights when I go out dancing or even my honey! Cant wait! Again Matte finish.

Black Radiance lipstick in 5004 :  Fuchsia pink. This one is a bit sheer, but build able to the point were its super bright. Has a sheen to it.








From L to R : Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Red Delicious, Wet N Wild Pink, Wet N Wild Red
Bottom : Black Radiance Lipstick

I saw the display for the Sally Hansen Crackle but at $8.00 a pop I decided I probably wouldn't use it anyways since the only colors I really paint on my nails in the summer is pink. (All shades!) I purchased OASIS from Sinful Colors and I have to say I am in love!! Its a bright pink, with a pearlecent sheen to it. I gave myself a Mani-Pedi today and I used this polish. Its a hot pink and is a bit sheer at first but nothing that 3 coats can't fix! This polish isn't super thick in consistency so I was able do this with no problem!

Sinful Colors in OASIS $1.99 (I have a huge S.C. collection!)







Excuse my messy application.




Last I really wanted to try something other than makeup, since every time I purchase something lately, its been makeup. So I got a face cream. Its by a company called Andes Nature and it was only $5 bucks. Its an Antioxidant cream and it claims to be a firming. It is made with Cabernet which I think is Grape. Now I haven't used it long enough to know about the firming, but I love the scent, it smells like grape but not super strong or fruity. And its the type of cream that is cold so in the warmer months its refreshing. It hasn't broken me out or made me oily which I love!!! Best $5 bucks ever!










 Blended out, its super moisturizing



One of my sisters clients knows I love the Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush lip gloss so she was nice enough to remember me when she went to the mall and got me one. Its in Red Delicious and smells just like apples. It looks like a pinker red in the tube but is clear on the lips with a slight pink tint. I love her, she's so nice!





So Today I spent 3 hours driving around with my sister practicing. My driving test is in a month exactly and I am so nervous/scared/anxious but excited. I still need to get the hang of parking. It will be sooo much easier to get my second job if I drive. My sister already gave me a car as well. Its not fancy or new but it was a gift so I can learn to drive in it, and when I have more experience I can think about getting a new car. My car is a little red Dodge Neon. I've been searching all day for some cute car seats covers, and steering wheel covers. I definitely want to add my girly touch to the car ha ha!

Let me know if you guys know the name to the Wet n Wild lipstick. I ripped the plastic and didn't bother to check =(

First Asado of 2011

(Asado is Bar B Q in Spanish)

So yesterday which was Sunday some of my family decided to go up to Garret Mountain to have our first family outing now that the weather is nicer. So it was a bit chilly when we got there but after some wine and some dancing (yeah, leave it to us Dominicans dancing anywhere lols) the sun finally came out and it got warmer. So I definitely ate TOO MUCH but I had too much fun. A lot of laughs. Here are some pictures:







Please excuse my looking a mess! I had on a cute top under that hoodie, I promise!!!



 These speakers are insanely loud!!



My niece the diva!


So I have been hauling a bit and I miss posting on here. I guess I just got frustrated after having problems with leaving comments and posting on blogger so I started neglecting the blog. I promise I'm back though!! I downloaded Mozilla/FireFox and things are A.O.K.!! =]

Kisses! <3
