San Francisco Makeup.

The inspiration for this actually comes from the lovely & extremely talented QueenBMakeup who passed away in April. Obviously she's been a huge inspiration for me. I tried to re-create her San Francisco at Night makeup but halfway through it.. I realized it wasn't looking exactly like hers. The colors are a bit off & different so it's not identical & more-so her technique is sooooo much better but it's a beautiful look & I'm glad I at least attempted it.

WnW Petal Pusher Collection • WnW Blue Had Me At Hello Collection • WnW Lust Palette • WnW Spoiled Brat Trio • Jordana Black Eyeliner • Jordana Bliss Eyeliner
I tried to find colors similar to hers & these are the ones I used. I lovee this teal/aqua color from the Blues collection. It's my favorite color. Probably the prettiest I've seen in these WnW ones.. With the exception of the last color on the right side of the Comfort Zone collection. OMG that color looks sooo pretty! I don't have the collection but I've seen it here. (source) & It's a really gorgeous color. I want to get that collection JUST for that color. <3 Back to the face: I'm also wearing a light pink Show Colors Blush shown here on the bottom left. And I reused my favorite lashes from the ES A500 pack from KKCenterhk which are the lashes at the very bottom in those pictures.

Revlon Matte Lipstick in Pink Pout (002) • Dots Lipgloss
I know alot of y'all have this lipstick & love it. I am no exception. This is a favorite of mine. It's almost like a mauve pink. I usually wear it matte, but for the sake of publishing it on here, I added gloss. My bottom lip is  recovering from a bug bite & I kind of wanted to hide it. :s

Stuffed Jalapenos+Fiery Fuchsia

Haii phrands. ^.- The weather's getting warmer ("scorching" if you live in Texas lol) & it's getting close to bbq season. Although, if you have a family like mine.. we bbq all year long. "Even in December, bro?" Especially in December, son. o.o Osea, New Years! Lol Anywho.. Something that has now become my specialty is grilled stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon. It's actually just really easy to make & one of the few things I can make. I made some Friday & would like to take you through the process. (:

Things you need (This makes 15):
15 Large Jalapeno Peppers
1 bx of Philadelphia's Cream Cheese
1 pk of bacon

After you've washed all the jalapenos.. slice them open & with a spoon take out all the jalapeno guts & seeds. I keep a plastic bag nearby for this. You can slice them however you want. I like to cut them like in an L shape. Is it the best way to cut them? I have no clue lol. This is just how my aunt does it, so I do it too. ;P
 Once I scoop out all the stuff inside, with a separate spoon I fill each half of the jalapeno with the cream cheese. be as generous as you want lol. Just be careful, cause it will leak cheese while it's on the grill/oven if it's too much.
After this, I put both halves back together & take a strip of bacon & wrap it around the jalapeno. Since I did these in the oven, I put them on a baking sheet.. with foil paper. You don't need the foil paper =/ I just kind of like using it for some reason. If you make these on the grill you might want to use toothpicks to keep the bacon in place. Since once it starts cooking, it's going to shrink & might unravel.
I put these in the oven at 450 for a little over 30 mins. I kept checking them 'cause I wanted them crispy but  not charcoal crispy lol. You take them out when the bacon is fully cooked!
& Tadaaa! You're done. If you don't like spicy things, this isn't for you. Haha. Although they hardly pica. They're super popular in my family. If you come to one of our bbq's, be careful. These things are known to fly off your plate if you leave them unattended. lol Hope ya'll had a good weekend! <3

This was yesterday's FOTD. I wanted a really bold & shimery look. (:

 Mabelline Color Sensational in Fuchsia Fever • WnW Fuchsia w.Blue Pearl • Show Colors Lipgloss
I put Fuchsia Fever on first & then with a lip brush, applied Fuchsia w.Blue Pearl & topped it off with the pink lipgloss. The gloss has tons of tiny little sparkles. It's super pretty.



Spanx so much for reading!

Spring Polish Haul+Swatches

Que ondiz. (: My weekend was a tad bit boring. My poor boyfriend is super sick & his family was in town visiting him. I spent most of my time at home. My little cousin Allyson who I hadn't seen in forevarzzz spent the night with us & we spent all Friday night eating Whataburger & watching tv. Saturday morning, we spent half the day talking about life, love, nail polish & everything in between ;o Haha. I missed her so much. She's so adorable! She's not like little girls her age who act & talk dumb. She actually has substance & cares about things outside of the realm of Twilight. =/ Lawl. Anywaysszzz I bought some things this morning & thought I'd share. (:

WnW Trio in Spoiled Brat
 [Click Pics to Enlarge] 
I was looking for Springy colors. I had seen a Robin's Egg-ish color last time but didn't see it there today. :( But I'm really liking the Unicorn polish! It's so cute. I also picked up the Spoiled Brat trio, I've been looking for the longest & I finally found it today! I'm not crazy about the crease color (black) I don't really like the sparse random sparkles =/ Haha & it's a bit sheer but obviously buildable.
CoverGirl Shine Blast Liploss in Ignite • CoverGirl Nature Luxe Gloss Balm in Coral • WnW Lipstick in Pink Ice
WnW Lipstick Fuchsia w.Blue Pearl • Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Summer Angel
OMGGGG! I sooo regret buying the two orange lip things. -_- They are lies! Down right lies! Well, honestly I just didn't read. I thought the second one was a lipstick. Turns out it's a gloss balm. I've been wanting to re-create the makeup look in the 6ft 7ft video. So I picked these up but they are so sheer :( I was so disappointed when I got home. My heart literally sank. lol Ugho. on the + side they smell really really good. Haha. Anyway I love the Fuchsia Blue Pearl Lipstick & am really impressed with the overall quality of the WnW lipsticks. They go on incredibly smooth. I'm not a fan of luster-ish finishes on lipsticks though. So I will probably matte these out with a little powder. Super happy with the Rimmel lipstick too. It's a gorgeous mauve-ish nude.. & I love the little crown on the cap. Teehee.


LOTD: Cupcake lips!
On this lazy Sunday.. the only thing I wore on my face was lip balm & mascara. I'm sorry to report though, that I have no clue what the brand of this is. All it says on the bottom is "Manufactured by Zhili Trading" Lol I've had it for the longest & I'm pretty sure I got it as a Christmas gift one year. It came with another darker color that I ended up losing somewhere. =/ So anyways *nacho's voice*... I hope you guys had an awesome weekend!!

Happy Valentine's Day!! +FOTD

Heyy girls! Hope y'all had a great day with your special someone! From what I've noticed, a lot of couples took it easy this year & kicked back at home or went out for a little dinner & chilled at home, which is perfect, in my opinion. My man pretty much watched Sparticus all day lol & I watched the last two episodes of Friday Night Lights online. Wahhh! :( I'm so sad it ended. I couldn't stop crying on the last episode. Texas Forever!! Lol I love Riggins. But anyway! My baby got me a dozen roses & a big ol teddy bear lol he might not look it, in the pic.. but trust, that thing is huge. Lol. I hope ya'll had an awesome day & if you didn't have a Valentine this year, es cool.. I'll be your Valentine ♥ lol.


My Vday bear. I named him Tequan after Drew from Everybody Hates Chris. Lol.

Cookies my mom brought me. c:


FOTD: Pretty in Pink.
L.A. Colors Wildflowers Palette • WnW Greed Palette • Show Colors Blush
(Look Ma, no circle lenses!) I used the pink blush as a lid color lol & the pink in the LA palette as the crease color & blended it up. I used the WnW color as my highlight. Then took both pink colors with an angled brush & placed them on my lower lash line.
