Selling my 36/6 Christian Louboutin Mary Janes "Alta Iowa" Fall 09 (brand new)

2011-12-23T16:10:00.000-05:00

In case you're interested... I'm selling my lovely shoes. (sad face)

EBAY LINK
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649&item=180778590483&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT#ht_774wt_1145

These are my AUTHENTIC Christian Louboutin Alta Iowa Mary Janes from Fall 09. I bought them at the Saks 5th Avenue store in Manhattan and never really tried to wear them until the return time period was expired. I bought them in my normal size 6 and when I tried them on again at home they felt a bit too narrow for me. Christian Louboutin is know for a narrow shoe and these were no exception. If you are a 5 1/2 size these would be perfect for you!

I'm so sorry to see them go & as much as I like to see them in my closet, they are not ever going to get worn. :-(

So again, 5 1/2 size girls, this is such a beautiful shoe. The front sole is very very slightly scuffed from walking inside my apartment when I was trying them on. I've NEVER worn these out so they are brand new.

Let me know if you have any questions about them or want to see more pics. I own 2 other pairs of Christian Louboutin shoes and everytime I wear them, I feel like a million dollars! There's an mazing feeling walking with these shoes.

Also Included:

1 Christian Louboutin red dust bag
Original Box

Original retail was $865.00.

Makeup Inspiration: Red Lips a la Kim Kardashian

2011-10-08T21:50:00.000-04:00

I love the hits of highlighter on the inner tearducts and brow bone.

This fall, I've been rocking my Red Lips at least once a week. My Favorite color is MAC's Ruby Woo. Perfect on all skin tones and the blue base helps your teeth look whiter. :-)

I was poking around StyleMePretty and I just loved some of the makeup looks I saw. And as usual, sharing is caring. :-)

I love doing bridal makeup. I've done a few brides and even though most don't go for dramatic looks, I just adore the brides that take the risk. IMO, it's the biggest day of your life so why not be a superstar for a day?

Favorite Brown Eyeshadow: Nars Coconut Grove

2011-08-21T15:01:00.000-04:00

Hi Beauties!

I was going through my collection and I realized how much I love this true brown color eyeshadow. I haven't heard so much about this color online or on youtube but it really deserves it's own post.

it is the darkest, richest brown I have and I can use it practically everyday to darken up my eyeshadow a bit. The color payoff is as you would expect from Nars and it certainly lives up to the brand.

I would definitely recommend.

Nars Coconut Grove $23.00

XOXO,
Awilda

What Am I Reading?

2011-07-17T14:06:00.002-04:00

Currently reading:

The Help (soon to be realized as a motion picture).

Three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step. Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone. Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken. Minny, Aibileen's best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody's business, but she can't mind her tongue, so she's lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own. Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed. In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don't.

I Love Decorating!

2011-04-15T21:56:00.000-04:00

Its official: I'm obsessed with bedroom decor.
Check out these photos I found online. How pretty are these bedrooms?

The pintucked Duvet Cover is available in a variety of colors on West Elm.com.

It's next on my list.

I already purchased this Ruffled circle quilt from West Elm and I love it!

**maybe once I'm done decorating the bedroom, I'll post some photos**

I did it! ...I bought the Clarisonic

2011-03-26T19:18:00.000-04:00

After much debate on this, I finally decided it was time.

As many of you know from watching some my videos, my skin can be problematic. I've even been on prescribed skin creams and cleansers which now I realize are not very effective, because once you're off them, your skin relapses.

I've only had it for a few weeks and I do feel that my skin is cleaner after using it. I know that I'm getting a deep clean everytime I use it. In terms of breakouts, I am still getting them but I don't really blame my new Clarisonic for that. I already have oily skin and when I toss in the stress from work and life it's inevitable for me to experience breakouts.

It's a work in progress for me, but overall I do like my Clarisonic. Hopefully after a few months I can report good news!

Do you own 1? How do you like it? Do you feel that it's improved your skin?

I've Moved/Ramble

2011-02-05T13:52:00.000-05:00

Whhheeeeww!

I've moved to a new apartment!

Apologies for the lack of posts. If you've ever moved in the dead of winter, you know how difficult the process is. We actually moved last Saturday and the piles of snow on the street made it even worst.

But happily the worst part is over! We are new are now in our bigger and better apartment. So happy now! I think that I'll set up a post of some of the new goodies I've bought for my new place.

Anyway, this week was the launch of the Mac Wonder Woman collection and eventhough I received the invite to the party at MAC, I wasn't able to attend.

Did any of you get to attend? Or did you get to pick up anything at the store?

I am actually really bummed that I didn't get to buy anything! I LOVE the packaging so much!

Anyone selling anything?

XOXO,
Awilda

New FOTD: Indian Bridal Inspired (my way)

2011-01-05T00:24:00.000-05:00

Hi Beauties!

So, a few days ago I asked you beauties for some makeup look inpiration. Thank you so much for your feedback! I don't think I'll ever run out of ideas now!!!

Here's what I ended up doing that day. I even recorded a video tutorial. Coming soon.

What do you think?

From my research I found that this look should be very dramatic. Customarily that is how Indian/Pakistani brides wear their makeup on their wedding day. The traditional dress and jewelry donned on the big day is very dramatic and the makeup is worn to match.

I made the look more pink and burgundy than the traditional red tones.

For the lips, a burgundy or wine lip is traditional and I ended up using MAC Rebel since it's more pinkish than burgundy. Personally, I would prefer a more toned down lip.

XOXO,

Awilda

Organize Your Makeup Like the Kardashians

2010-11-27T14:30:00.001-05:00

Hi Beauties!

For those of you who tune in to watch the Keeping Up With the Kardashians, you've probably seen a few shots of the girls' makeup organizers.

Low and behold is the super fabulous (uber expensive) organizers they use to display their makeup stash.

Personally, I don't really want to pay price tag for this, because really I would need about 3 or 4! You can buy it at Clear Cube for $290.00.

I found some cheaper options online.

Muji Acrylic 5 drawer organizer $23.95 (currently out of stock :-( )

Muji Acrylic Case 2 Drawer Organizer $22.75 (currently out of stock :-( )

Container Store 3 Drawer Box $11.99

I think these would make great Christmas gifts for those girly girls you may know. :-)

Happy Shopping!

XOXO,

Giving Thanks!

2010-11-25T02:01:00.000-05:00

Firstly, I'd like to wish all of you reading this a very happy and safe thanksgiving.

Right around this time of year, while mostly all of us are busy with preparations for thanksgiving and/or traveling to be in the company of your loved ones, I like to reflect on life over the last year.

I've been thinking about all of the things that I'd like to give thanks for. And I'd like to share some other these things with all of you.

I'm thankful for...
My family. They are the most important people in my life.

I'm thankful for...
My health and that of those who I care most about. Unfortunately, about 2 months ago, someone in my boyfriends family lost her fight with Ovarian Cancer. She was only 32.

I'm thankful for...
The challenges that life set forth for me this year. Without those challenges, I couldn't push myself to get to 'next'.

I'm thankful for...
The new professional opportunities that came my way this year.

I'm thankful for...
All of those meaningful moments I've shared with the people I love. The laughs, the stories and even the tears.

I'm thankful for...
The people that follow my blog and my youtube channel. Beleive it or not, I read every single message sent to me. And I can't express how much I appreciate the time and kind words I receive from you. Thank you!

I'm thankful for...
Life! it's just a beautiful gift and we take it for granted.

Cheers to you all!

MAC & Marcel Wanders - Luxe Couture collection

2010-11-20T22:34:00.000-05:00

Launch: 24 November 2010 [US/Canada]

“If I have a basic motivation, it’s to inspire people to make their life a Masterpiece!” Is that not what we do every day at M∙A∙C? So it is that the Dutch industrial designer – known for everything from his “Happy Hour” Chandelier to his futuresonic way with old Delft porcelain, and for co-founding now-iconic design collective Droog AND the amusing, classicism-meets-futurism objects of his own group, Moooi (from the Dutch word for “beauty,” but with an extra “o” for extra-beautiful!) – wandered HERE…It had to be! M∙A∙C partners with Marcel Wanders – his first foray into the world of cosmetics – and design sophisticates (and people with innate and irreverent tastes) will be bonkers for these limited-edition Lipstick, Lip Gloss, Sheer Mystery Powder, Air of Style Scent Concentrate, and his signature brush and clutch creations, not least of all for their arresting packaging – fine collectors’ items all! But also for the rich palette, inspired by 17th-century Flemish painting, and particularly, Vermeer – “The Girl With a Pearl Earring” – and the idea of an artist painting a portrait, and falling in love. “Always, with a sense of love in the product…” he says. Marcel speaks our M∙A∙C language.

A Look Back At Halloween

2010-11-16T22:46:00.000-05:00

Halloween is really one of my favorite holidays! I think it has to do with the nostalgia of being a young child and remembering how exciting Halloween was.

This year, I dressed up as a Navy Cadet (or Captain). I pulled out and old wig I had in my closet and really changed my whole look.

It was so much fun! What did you dress up as?

XOXO,
Awilda

Good News!

2010-11-14T23:19:00.000-05:00

Hi Beauties!

Wow! I haven't typed that in a looong time!

How are you all doing? I have truly missed making updates on my blog and on youtube!

But without further a do, I'd like to say that I am finally back! Yayyy!

I've actually been computer-less for over 1 month (mine broke down) and just this past weekend, I received a brand new Macbook Pro courtesy of my BF! How awesome?! This computer is amazing!

What's new with me?

Well, as you all know I took on a new job and that has consumed so much of time. I literally work endless hours but I know it's all going to pay off in the end. :-)

Also, my company moved and the new location is a bit further from home so my commute is longer, which leaves even less time and energy for makeup.

One nice thing that happened last month, I was able to be the makeup artist for someone's wedding. She looked great and I will hopefully share photos once she has them. That was a lot of fun and I find I really work well under the pressure of the wedding day. :-)

I recently joined the gym with my boyfriend and we've been trying to be good about going weekly. I feel that my energy levels have definitely increased since we joined and my body is toning up already. Truthfully, I am a bit lazy when it comes to working out but my boyfriend is great at getting me going. I really love the workout gear from Nike and I feel that it really helps my mood when working out. (yes, I still need to look cute at the Gym! no makeup though!) lol

What's next?

I plan on being more active on my blog and youtube! I received so many new subscribers, thanks to the beautiful IslandBeauty on youtube, that I really want to get back into it again. I've received so many nice messages daily from so many of you (thank you!!!!), and I feel I owe it to you for sticking with me.

So, what's new with you? Any new makeup finds?

XOXO,

A New Me!

2010-09-05T23:32:00.000-04:00

Hi Beauties!

Happy Labor Day weekend! I hope everyone has enjoyed the last holiday weekend of Summer. I have been missing in action lately and I truly apologize for the lack of posts. I recently got a new job and have been very busy. Haven't really had much time left over to focus on makeup or the blog.

Anyway, until things settle down, please bare with me.

1 piece of news is that I changed my look! What do you think?

It's not permanent, as soon as I wet my hair it will be all curly again. But truthfully, I've been curly for a least 8 years and I want to try different things. Shake it up!

lipstick I'm wearing? MAC Petals and Peacocks from the Liberty Of London Collection.

XOXO,

Awilda

Hi Beauties!

Fall 2010 is almost here and the stores are quickly gearing up for Back To School shoppers. Personally, my favorite season is the Summer. However, I go crazy for winter clothes and boots of course.

As usual, I did some online window-shopping and wanted to share some of my faves (Low and High End).

Let me know what you think!

XOXO,

My Absolute Favorite Nail Polish!

2010-07-30T01:02:00.001-04:00

Hi Beauties,

I'm sorry I've been long for so long. I've been going through some life changes (good ones, thank God) and I've just had a hard time updating the blog.

Anyway, along with my makeup collection, I have a weakness for nail polish. I realized last week when I went in for my manicure/pedicure that I have an absolute Favorite Nail Polish. It is OPI Pink Flamingo.

It is a rich and creamy vibrant pink. Everytime, I visit my nail salon I feel the other pinks appear not-worthy. LOL

Here's a photo I found online. Gorge!

Do you have a favorite color?

Pure.Perfection.

Brand New Fave: Nars Cordura

2010-07-14T23:39:00.000-04:00

Hi Beauties!

Yesterday I tweeted about my recent Nars Cordura Eyeshadow Duo purchase and of course I wanted to share it with all of you. As you know from some of previous posts, I am a big fan of Nars Cosmetics.

Everything from the blushes (which are any makeup lover's must have) to the foundations and eyeshadows are such high quality. Hence, I decided to continue adding to my Nars stash with this pretty color combination.

In the packaging this doesn't really look like much but I swatched it at my local Sephora and I think my heart skipped a beat. The brown color is a perfect shade of bronze with a dusting of gold sparkle (not glitter). The darker side is a deep brows/black with similar gold sparkle. These colors could be used together or individually depending on your look.

Do you own this Duo already? What do you think?

XOXO,
Awilda

FOTD: Kim Kardashian at Lala Vazquez's Wedding

2010-07-13T21:50:00.000-04:00

Hi Beauties!

Kim Kardashian looked beautiful at the Lala Vazques & Carmelo Anthony wedding this past weekend. I couldn't help but to post photos of her outfit and makeup.

Lately I've been loving Kim's makeup because she's rocking bronzey colors. I think they compliment her very well and look so great in the summer.

XOXO,

Awilda

FOTD: Ashley Greene 60's Inspired Makeup

2010-07-13T18:05:00.000-04:00

How lovely!

I love everything about this look: the hair, the lashes and the white eyeliner.

Look created my Celebrity makeup Artist: Vanessa Scali.

To start, Vanessa evened out Ashley's "nearly flawless skin" with Lancôme's Effacernes concealer in Light Bisque underneath the eyes. "It gives clean, fresh, flawless coverage," she said. Bobbi Brown's Foundation Stick followed. Lancôme's Blush Subtil in Shimmer Pink Pool topped the apples of the cheeks.

For Ashley's dramatic eyes, Vanessa swept YSL's Fard Lumiére Aquarésistant Cream Eyeshadow in Pink Sands over the entire eye. To define and elongate the lash line, Vanessa used Lancôme's Artliner in Black and lined the inner rims with Shu Uemura's Painting Liner in White. The finishing touch: a few generous coats of Lancôme's Ôscillation Mascara in Black for "seductively lengthy lashes," says Vanessa. Ashley's brows were sculpted with Lancôme's Le Crayon Poudre in Brunet.

Finally, Lancôme's lipstick from the Pout-á-Porter series-L'Absolu Rouge in Chris & Tell.

XOXO,
Awilda

Hi Beauties,

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend! The weather in NYC is extremely hot but I personally love it.

I wanted to share this photo of the beautiful Zoe Saldana with you. I love this photo because the makeup is so subtle but yet extremely sexy. I had the pleasure of bumping into Zoe outside of work one day and she is so stunning in person. The girl doesn't need any makeup at all.

If you follow me on twitter, Last Sunday I posted my outfit and face of the day. I love wearing simple makeup when it's very hot out but I don't like to look like I just woke up and walked out.

MAC Chatterbox Lipstick

Eyes:
UDPP
UD Chopper eyeshadow
MAC Smolder in the waterline and smudged on the upper lashline.
Maybelline Colossal Mascara

Cheeks:

Tanning Safely

2010-07-02T02:19:00.000-04:00

Hi Beauties,

It's that time of year again when people want to look glowy and tanned. Every day people flock to the beaches to roast in the sun for hours in order to appear slimmer, healthier and sun kissed. However, tanning is far from healthy. Tanned skin is basically dead (burned) skin cells from the UV rays of the sun. We've all heard the warnings about the possibility of skin cancer (Melanoma) caused from tanning.

The whole topic actually reminds me of smoking. People have been told for over 30 years about the risks of smoking, yet people still put their lives and the lives of others at risk (not to mention, the ugly smokers gray/dull skin). These types of fatal illnesses are avoidable.

4 years ago, I would the first planning trips to the beach with my friends and sometimes even alone just to get some extra color. Today, I wear SPF 50 every day. I now tan safely.

If you remember my post from my Miami vacation, I told you all about my spray tan at SOBEtan. Since then, I have really been into self tanners at home and I urge you to try them also. There is no reason for people to take the warnings about skin diseases lightly. You can get a beautiful, natural looking tan right at home and not have to worry about premature again skin, "leather" looking skin, skin disease.

A few of my favorite Products are:
St Tropez Bronzing Mousse

St Tropez Bronzing Spray

Have you tried any of these yet? How do you feel about tanning?

XOXO,

Awilda

Favorite Drugstore Mascara

2010-07-02T01:30:00.001-04:00

Hi Beauties!,

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. The summer is officially here and I'm really trying to spend more time outside and away from computers. :-)

Today, I was applying my mascara and I realized that it's time to buy my 3rd tube of this mascara. It is none other than the Maybelline Colossal Mascara (waterproof black)!

I really love this mascara because it is very buildable and the wand does not cause my lashes to clump. I do have to say that in order to get the COLOSSAL lashes they clai, you do need to apply 2 to 3 coats (quickly before the formula sets).

Which are some of your drugstore mascaras?

Hope you are all enjoying your summer so far!

XOXO,

Awilda

The Makeup Show NYC Haul & Review Of My Experience

2010-05-21T00:38:00.003-04:00

Hi Beauties!

As promised, I wanted to post the few things that I picked up at the Makeup Show NYC. Since this was my first time participating in the Makeup Show, I was a little overwhelmed with the selections and the amount of people at the show. From what I understand, the show has grown trememndously since last year with a lot more people attending. Congrats to the Powder Group on continued success!!

The vendors at the show included almost everyone from the usual suspects (MAC, Make Up For Ever, Smashbox, Stila, Inglot, Temptu, Kett, Crown Brushes, Eve Pearl, Alcone Co) as well as newer up and coming brands (Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics and others).

I found that the prices of the products were fairly priced or discounted. I think that I'd like to prepare better for the next years show and hold on buying makeup for a few months prior to the show and then clean up. LOL

I did not have chance to attend any of the seminars by the Pro artists. Next year I will also allow time for that.

Without further a do... my haul.

Knockout Matte Polishes in Plaster and Pool.

Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concetrate moisturizer.

Kett Jett Airbrush Compressor and Airgun.

Kett Cosmetics Trial size Airbrush Foundations in the Olive group.

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Airbrush Blush mini set.

Assorted brushes from Crown Brushes.

Here are some of the Fabulous Beauties I met at the Show!
