DE's SEcret to Looking Awake!

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to yu loves. I’ve been so busy, and overwhelmed. This summer is bringing a lot of surprises. Anyway, how was your weekend? Mine was pretty good. I was trying to figure out a way I could travel the world for free. If you guys have any ideas, please e-mail me.

I’m thrilled because, NY is finally feeling like summer. Although it rained Saturday night, it was absolutely beautiful during the day. I walked 36 blocks to my house. It was great. Saturday night, I went out with the girls, and didn’t get home till almost 5 am. (You know DE loves to party with her girls.) But the problem was I had to baptize my friend's kid early in the day. When I got home, I just crashed on my bed, (without washing my makeup off, yuk I know.)When my alarm went off at at 8am, my hair was a mess (that’s easy to fix as you know DE is a hair expert) my makeup was all over my face and pillow, and I looked insanely tired, which I was. I had to be in New Jersey by 10:00am ready to baptize the little munchkin, so I needed to do a quick fix. After beautifying my hair, and doing my makeup, I realized I still looked kind of tired. So I whipped out my secret weapon for bright eyes!

Smashbox's Double Eye Brightener



This pencils works wonders. It has two sides to it, one a gorgeous cream color, and the other is cream with a little bit of gold to it. You can literally use it all over your face to highlite your browbone, bridge of nose and cupids bow. I used it on the corner of my eyes, and Wooh! It opened them right up!

After that I used Smashbox’s Photo-op Under eye Brightener.



This is the other part to my secret weapon. I use this when I’ve been partying too much and my concealer alone doesn’t work. It really brightens up the under eye area, and after using both of these products, I look like I had ATLEAST 8 hours of asleep. The pics looked amazing.

What's your secret to looking awake?

Have you tried these smashbox products?

Do you know the secret for traveling the world for free?

Nightly Beauty Routine?

I thought it would be interesting for us to share our nightly beauty routines so I’m going to start mine off. I’d love to know yours too. Will you share? Heres mine for the moment (it changes all the time).

I usually get home from work at around 9:30pm. Yes that late. I make myself a cup of Village Tea’s
Green Tea You know this is loaded with antioxidants!

Sometimes I even pour myself a glass of wine (depends on how I’m feeling), sit in front of the tv for around 20 minutes and watch what’s on. After that I get up, shower, and then get ready for my night. I wash my face with my clarisonic,


and current face wash. (I have way too many.) After that, I give myself a facial massage for around 5 minutes (De does not want wrinkles!). Then I apply my Jan Marini Vitamin C Skin Serum, all over my face and neck and decolette, and then put some Rosbud salve on my lips. Now if I am going to wash my hair the next day, I take a dab of coconut oil, and give myself a 5 minute hair massage, if not, I just massage my scalp with my bare fingers. After that I tie my hair up, very close to my forehead (that’s how you can keep hair full of body and bounce) and then I grab korres Quince lotion , and lotion my feet, (it’s summer got to make sure your feet are soft) then I put on some socks to keep the moisture. I then go to bed and fluff my pillows (both of them have silk pillowcases to keep the shine to my hair.) I then turn my tv on, and go to sleep. (I must must sleep with the tv on. I can’t sleep with it off. I can be in a deep sleep but if someone turns the tv off, I will wake up immediately like a ninja ready to fight.)

What’s your night time beauty routine?

Do you sleep with the tv on? Lol

Korres Masque for Skin!

How was your July 4th weekend? Mine was pretty cool. Life has been absolutely insane, but in a great way. I’m so happy that New York is finally acting like we’re in summer. I was getting so sick and tired of the rain. GRRR! Anyway, back to beauty. During the summer months, my skin decides that it wants to act up. All of a sudden, my face becomes a greasy mess, and it’s during this time, that I get huge cystic zits. However, I’m noticing that my skin isn’t behaving as badly. A product that I’ve added to my skin care regime is Korres Masque Deep Cleansing for Oily Skin with Imperfections.



I’d heard about Korres products but had never tried them before. I knew they were from Greece, and upon further research, I found out they were a natural skin care brand. Usually deep cleansing Masque leave my skin incredibly tight, and dry after use, but not this one. When I apply this, I leave it on for around 20 minutes. It has a bit of a cooling effect, and after I remove it, my skin is left very smooth, and soft not tight at all. My pores look much smaller, and best of all, I haven’t broken out yet this summer. This masque is loaded with nourishing ingredients like Cinnanom and Zinc which is supposed to regulate the amount of sebum in your skin. I love it!

Thisi is def a beauty logic approved item.


Have you tried the korres masque?

Have you tried Korres products at all.

What did you do for July 4th?

I cut six inches of off my hair this week. lol and I love it (it's still up to my bra strap but in massive layers). if you were one of the people who e-mailed me about the hair tonic, you'll get the ingredients tomorrow.

RIP MJ

Sorry I”ve been so delayed in posting. It’s been an overwhelming week.
Michael Jackson is dead. God that makes me so sad. He was truly the soundtrack to my youth. It hit me hard yesterday when I went to the Apollo. The man was a legend, and it’s so amazing to me that so many people have been affected by his death. He touched everybody. I remember years ago my Dominican father who could barely speak English at the time singing Thriller. When I was a kid, I would wash my hair, and spend hours with moose trying to get it to curl like his. I owned a red pleather jacket and the skinny black pants, and those black/white shoes. I really thought I was him. God, his death was so unexpected.

What’s your favorite Michael Jackson song? Mine would have to be PYT!
What's your favorite Michael Jackson Memory?
Mine would be watching Thriller with my family and running from fear when that scary voice came on in the end.

We’ll miss you Micheal.

Hugs,

Women-What The Heck?

Lately I’m noticing a trend and it’s really sad to me. Women who no longer care if a man has a girlfriend. I had a girls night last night with two of my friends and both were lamenting that the men they were “seeing” weren’t ready to leave their girlfriends for them. The dinner ended really bad with me leaving in a huff. I was flabbergasted for a few reasons. The man who cheats on his lady is a huge jerk as well and should be knocked out, but if a woman knowingly knows that a man has a lady and continues to pursue him, what is that saying about her? Are you that insecure? You can’t find your own man? Don't you realize you'll be second best. That infuriates me. When Mr. DE and I are out, women constantly give him the eye. On the subway one woman even tried to give him her number in front of me. I almost died of laughter. Mr. DE just looked at her like she was nuts and told her to get a life. After me asking her if she was insane, she quickly and fearfully said (I was pissed!), “Oh, you two look alike, I thought you were brother/sister.” After laughing at her for her dumb excuse, I told her that she was a sad case, and to go get a self-esteem.

Women, why would you ever settle for being second best? I had a discussion with a male cheating friend of mine about it, and he said “Men will never respect or wife a woman who knowingly knows that we have a girlfriend, and still mess with us, but we’ll have fun with them, and then throw them out.” What happened to sisterhood? What happened to women sticking together? But most of all what happened to respect for yourself?

Would you ever date a man who you know has a girlfriend?

Why do you think some women do that?

DE

Beauty Logic Approved Eye Cream Elizabeth Grant Vitamin C

I barely have under eye circles. However, I always wear under eye concealer. (I want to my face to look flawless.) Before you put your under eye concealer, it’s important to use a moisturizing eye cream or your concealer can just end up bringing out more of your imperfections. One I’ve been using lately, and absolutely adoring, is my Elizabeth Grant Vitamin C Eye Cream.

It’s very moisturizing but not overly done so my skin is not a greasy mess. It contains something called Emblica from the Indian gooseberry tree. This is supposed to have the highest content of vitamin C of any plant. It also contains Elizabeth Grant’s famous hidden ingredient called Torricelumn. This has been her hidden secret ingredient for 40 years and the discovery of this ingredient led her to start her line. Whatever it is, my undereye area, loved it! Anyway, I always say the proof is in the pudding. I use this in the morning right before I apply the concealer, and it is so moisturizing and hydrating that my concealer just slides right on. A problem in the past I’ve had with undereye concealers is that many of them make me break out, but not with this one.

This is definitely a Beautylogic Approved product.

What eyecreams are you using?

SAM FINE EVENT THE BASICS OF BEAUTY DVD PARTY

Last Thursday I was invited to the launching of Sam Fine’s The Basics of Beauty DVD party at The Warren Tricomi Salon in the Plaza Hotel.
If you don’t know who Sam Fine is, he’s one of the most recognized make-up artist in the world. He’s made models and Goddesses like Iman, and Vanessa Williams look amazing. Both of those beauties were at the event as well as many other celebrities. It was seriously star-studded. It was a very cool event. I spoke to Sam for five seconds, and he seems incredibly wonderful and very gracious.
Anyway, you know DE’s a social butterfly so I mingled and saw two of my blogging buddies, Wes of Honey Brown Sugar and Carla of Brown Girl Gumbo. Both are beauties as well. All in all, I had to leave after a few minutes though because I had another engagement, but what I thought was hilarioius was that another girl had my exact same dress on. My friend Cassie noticed it first and she told me we should make a run for it before anyone noticed. But, I thought it was so funny, and I approached the beauty. We both had a good laugh about it and we even took a pic.



Turns out she’s another beauty blogger as well. Her blog is called ThisThatBeauty. We commited a Fashion faux Pas, but hey who cares!

Hugs,

DE
