Fedora's

The "Fedora" hat seems to be the new trend for this summer. I have been wanting one for awhile, but never seemed to go ahead and get one. Thanks to the BF, he got me one on Friday...mind you I don't think I look good in hats, but I really like this one. Now I want to get more colors...lol.

Product of the Week #4

What It Is: Light Mattifying Moisturizer 

What It Does: If you want it all skin that’s moisturized but totally shine-free then try this light, oil-free moisturizer that says bye-bye to shine with a super blend of oil absorbers to help create an up-close-and-perfect finish. Plus, a dose of sugar cane—a natural alpha-hydroxy—keeps skin fresh and glowing.

Overall: I have tried tons of moisturizers and I can testify that this is the only one that lives up to it's standards. I have oily-to combination skin and every moisturizer I have tried doesn't help control it, except for this lil' bad boy! I had a bunch of samples laying around and I though I would give it a try, after washing my face at night I put this on and went to bed. I swore that in the morning when I woke up that my face was going to have the typical residue, but was surprised when my skin felt clean and oil free. 


I also tested it in the day time, to see if it would have the same effects as before. Impressively it did! My face was oil and shine free all day. This moisturizer feels light weight when applied and is fragrance free. 

Where Can You Buy It: You can order this item through any mark rep or on the site, it retails for $15.

The Joys of Lil' Boys...Pt 2

Brayan is such a smart little boy, it's just so amazing. He repeats every word you say, not quite exactly how you are suppose to pronounce it...but at least  he is trying. Lately, I have caught him calling out to the BF (his daddy) by Babe...this is what I call him and I just start lmao. He is such a sweet and loving boy, he loves to give hugs and kisses. Brayan also loves music, he is always dancing and singing to whatever music I'm playing from my iPod or from Nick Jr. 


The night before, he was on his usual schedule of taking a bath before bedtime. I let him play for a little while so I can get his Pj's ready and everything he needs for daycare the next day. So, Brayan starts calling me and I'm guessing he is finished and what's to get out. To my surprise when I get to the bathroom, he says "Mami, ewww caki." Yep, you guessed it, he pooped in the bath tub (yuk). I still can't believe he did that, I guess it's that time for POTTY TRAINING...whis me luck!

NOTD: Nail of the Day

I have been on the hunt for this color ever since the Resort collection came out. Apparently every drugstore i went to was sold out of it. I happened to pop up at a Duane Reade a few days ago, I searched around where the displays are usually at and I found it. You guys have no idea how excited I was to actually have it, this was the last one on the display. This is such a pretty summery color, next colors will be Turquoise & Caicos and Lapis of Luxury.

Product Fail #1

What It Is: Tinted Moisturizer with SPF50

What It Does: Healthy Wear SPF50 Tinted Moisturizer by Physician's Formula delivers maximum SPF 50 broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection while providing sheer and natural-looking color. It also claims to be long wearing, water resistant and sweat proof. 

Overall: I heard great reviews about this product so I was dying to try it, since I have been looking for an in-expensive TM. There are only 4 shades to choose from (Light to Natural, Fair to Light, Light to Natural & Natural to Tan), guess which one I purchased....Natural to Tan. As soon as I got home I tried it on and it was a complete FAIL! It is the darkest shade and it was wayyyyyyy to light on my skin...I looked like Casper the friendly ghost. This product would better suite women with lighter complexion and not women of color. I was so disappointed and returned it this morning....I'm still on the search for a good TM. 

Where Can You Buy It: Available at any Drugstores (retails for $14.95)
