My glam Bag.

So I got my glam bag and I just now got the time to talk about it. So the bag came with urban decay primer, urban decay eyeshadow color sin. A NYX lip creme and a tarte mascara. It also came with some blotting papers with sicrilic acid.
I have never tried the Urban decay primer, but so far I think its all right I like it.Would I buy the normal size, Yes I would.
Than the Urban Decay eye shadow in Sin, I loved it such a lovely color, I like how it such a soft color and a great highlighter. Would I buy it, Yes.
NYX lip creme is very pigmented but the color did not last very well, was not to pleased with it. Would I buy it, NOPE.
The Tarte mascara was all right would I change from the one I use daily, no, Would I recomend it yes,but it is not the best mascara out there.
It came in a cute bag, it is only $10 dollars every month and thet send you all kinds of makeup goodies.
Here is a swatch of the NYX lip Creme and the Urband decay sin eye shadow.

 Oh yeah so when I was shopping at the MAC counter for my friends christmas present, I kind of got me a little present as well... hehehe!! and I got me this MAC Lip Christmas collection. Wich I LOVE!! such a great lip color for any time. You can rock it with a smokey eye or just a natural look. It is great!!


Here is a swatch of the color

I have also been looking for a foundation with a little bit more of a coverage so I went to the Estee Lauder counter and asked for a sample of the Double Wear foundation. Wich was like perfect match with my skin!! I have like 4 days trying it out and I love it. It has not made my skin brakeout either. <3
But like its weird I get in these Foundation moods!! I dunno if you guys get those moods too?? like sometimes you want more coverage, or sometimes you just want a light foundation or sometimes you wanna wear the one that smells good. or maybe its just me being weird!! haha!!
 And I also got me a sample of the MAC uhhhh....... studio Fix..... so far again dont like it to much... I feel like it has like a chalky finish... its not matte... its like chalk!! so I dont like it to much... the only great thing is that it matches my skin very well.

Weird Date.

So Last Night I went on a Date with a guy that I dated like for a month. I meet him online, he was a friend of a friend lol So the story is that we dated. He lived in California and I obviously live in NC. After like 4 weeks he stopped talking to me and I was sooooo hurt!! like I don't even know why. I was hurt over a guy I dint meet ever except for online!! So than I got over him, but see the thing is that we as women fall in love with our ears with words that come out of their head not their heart. So basically that's what happened to me. What really helped me get over him was this bible verse that I hear our Pastor tell us Proverbs 4:23 "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life". And that is so true. 
 So then the other day, that same person texed me and was like guess who is in NC?? and I was like ( he is originally from NC) who?? he said "me" I was happy and nervous at the same time all these thoughts came thru my mind like you have been hurt once, what makes you think that him being here wont hurt your feelings or do something bad to you?? But still I don't listen and I went on a date with him last night and It was pretty awkward... I am not gonna lie, you know when someone really does not express themselves and is quiet. And I am the type of person that super happy and bubbly all the time!! and he was quiet... and I dunno like it was WEIRD!! but than at the end of the Night he asked me for a kiss and I gave him one but it did not feel right. So than I go home and check his FB and he is still dating some girl back in Cali!! I was like what!! any ways, its hard to hold on to your faith when a beautiful man talks pretty to you, but God has someone for you our there. There is going to be lots of test but be patient we are princesses!! Remember what the bible says about love 1 Corinthians 13:4 " Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails." 
So no matter what and no matter how many Tool bags show up I am waiting on someone that is going to love me like the bible describes it.   

Oh and this was my outfit!! I got this pretty shirt at New York company for like $ 7 dollars!! some black leggings and some nice heels from charlotte russe you cant see :( but they are really pretty!!

Ruth Chris!!

Last Night I had a business Christmas Dinner party at the Famous Ruth Chris they recently opened one here in Asheville it was actually the third day it had been open yesterday. I went with my parents and we were only like 12 of us. Any ways I got the fillet and that thing was absolutely delicious!! like literary everything there was off the chain!! than I had for dessert a Creme Brule!! also to die for!! and an expresso but that was the only thing I dint like cause it was burnt :( disappointing because everything was so delicious! anyways here is pic of me last night I wore a Banana Republic Blazer, Charlotte Russe Black top, For ever 21 neckles, my new of the chain Steve madden shoes, some black skinny dress pants that I got from Target for like 6 bucks!! (another deal) 
For my makeup I am wearing my Mac NC25 for my foundation, just a black winged eye some lashes and mac pink red lipstick and gloss.  





Got me a deal!!

So I have been on the hunt for these shoes by Steve Madden, for like the longest time ever!! I don't know why but they kinda have like this medieval/modern/girly/preppy look to them!! The only problem was that they are $119.95!! and Baby girl is not going to go buy them for that much! so baby girl Grace waited until they were on sale at T-Jmax!! and so I went like Tuesday and there they were just waiting for me!! so I ran over to the shelf and I started crying!! not really I kinda did jump a little bit!! but they were only $59.99 HECK YEAH!! so I got them and went home I dint even look around any more!!  I guess you could say it was my lucky day!!

Polish

Hey honeys!! So Sigma beauty came out with the sigma cleansing and polishing tool. So since I use foundation when I was my face I like for like all the makeup to come off, because of my sensitive skin. Also cause If I don't wash my face I will break out!! OMG!! grosss!! any ways yeah I have been using this for like 4 months and what I have also noticed is that it makes my skin all soft and glowing. I also use this in the mornings when I wake up. The case it really pretty It has 3 types of brushes a soft one for sensitive skin, a medium one for everyday use and a firm brush for like once a month exfoliation. But it is totally worth it!! I encourage you guys!! But yeah ill be putting more stuff up!! thanks!! Love ya!! Remember God is for you!!

Brush.

Hey sorry I have been gone for such a long time!! I went on a mini vacation/work!! lol I went to Atlantic City New Jersey for a week with my parents. Than I went on a church trip with my youth group to Pesacola, Florida. I had such an amazing time!! I love my youth group!! I love how God just ministered to my group. Also this was my first time going as a Leader so it was an awesome experience, God really showed me how my leadership was important. Cause I am so goofy and I never thought like the kids like me but people actually look up to me. So yeah thats that.

So I have been reviewing aclot on the sigma brushes and stuff and I had bought the MAC brush 188. I originally wanted the bigger MAC brush but the lady that sells me MAC was like you should go for the 188 you use less product blah blah blah!! so i guess she peered pressured me into buying it. Than I used it for like a week, and than I was like WAHHH!! I dont like it at all. So than sigma brush F80 came along. (also way cheaper than the MAC brush) The F80 brush came in a cute little package and it was only like 16 bucks!! so I bought it!! and I have been using it for like a month and I love it!! its soft and gives a great coverage and it does not leave like brush strokes on your face. But um yeah!! love you guys and remember God is good and faithful and he loves you!!

Making me Blush!!

The only thing that gives me color without tanning is blush!! yay!! Usually I really don't like to tan just because its really bad for your skin, and also cause I just don't like to be hot!! If I am ever outside its because I am either Hiking or camping or running after 7pm when the sun is going in or if my mother makes me do some kind of yard work which I hate because than your hands will hurt and you will get either a funky tan or sunburn. But other than that Grecia does not get a lot of sun time. Every morning I was my face and put on all of my products then put on my foundation and then I am super white!! kinda like a ghost!! boooo!! But than with some blush it all gets better!! So these next few blushes have become my best friends!! and I want to share them with you all!! for some reason I want to say Y'all!! I am such a southerner!! haha!!
So my favorite, favorite, favorite all time favorite is PEACHES!! by MAC!! The reason why I love this one is because it gives you such a natural look, is very soft like silk almost. I love this one for some reason it makes you look fresh and sweet. Kind of like the spring in the south, makes you think of like flowers, breezy warm wind and all that good stuff!! that what I think about when I put on this blush!! 
My second favorite is Dallas by Benefit Cosmetics. I  actually have been using this blush longer than Peaches. This blush to me is more like a bronzer. But what I do if I am feeling to white, I mix peaches and Dallas together. First I use Peaches than I use Dallas so it gives me a beautiful natural look with a bronze. What I like about Dallas is that It smells delicious!! yummm!! and also because its nice and light and If I am feeling very mature I like to use this one I feel like it gives me more of a professional look than Peaches. Dallas is more like I am here and I mean business!! haha!! and yeah I love this one I really recommend this one if you are looking for a bronzer/blush. The cover reminds me of a movie I watched when I was little I think it was called....... I forgot....man!! ah!! I have it but I cant remember the name!! blehhh!! sorry guys!! haha!! 
When ever Grecia is feeling flirty , spunky and girly I like to wear  Coralista by Benefit. This blush is pink and Golden so it gives you a nice glowy look. I use just a little bit of this one just because its the color is very bright!! This one also smells delicious. I don't use this blush on a regular basis it also depends on what mood I am in. Isn't that weird!! But yeah this is my pink blush!! my fav!! I also have been using this one for a long time. 
 For some reason I really like Benefit Blushes, they last such a long time and they smell super great ,and the packaging is super cute and vintage. 
If you guys where wondering if I use the brushes from the Benefit blushes I actually don't use them all though I have before, but for some reason I like angled brushes and I use the MAC 168. Which I recommend its very soft and I feel like I have a lot more control when I have an angled brush than If I had a regular blush brush. and yeah I hope you guys have and amazing day and remember God is for you and he loves you!!

Foudation.

Hey so I am just gonna talk about a few of the foundations that I have used. So for the longest time I had acne and everyone told me that if I used foundation it would make my acne worse!! um not true!!! So I really researched if there was a foundation with acne treatment or anything that would help my acne. Since I all ready use Clinique I asked the lady at Clinique what she suggested and I did not know that Clinique had an acne treating foundation. So she convened me and I bought it. By the next day my face looked great even after I would take it off... the only thing that I did not like was that it was a little to cakey and that it did not match my skin very well. That was like the biggest reason I stopped using this foundation because it did not match my skin. But over all this is a really great foundation.










So my favorite as of right now and I think for a while is the MAC  Pro Long Wear with SPF 20 in NC20. So I am in love with this foundation great coverage and matches skin perfectly. So far It has not broken my skin out and I have been using it for 3 weeks so that means its never going to. Stays on all day I don't have to freshen up or anything except for brushing my teeth!! lol yeah that was me trying to be funny guess it dint work!! But yeah I really really recommend this stuff is great!! My next foundation purchase is definitely  going to be this one.

Pores, Pores, Pores.

For the longest time I had acne. So you know what that means?!! acne scars and huge pores!! ughhh!! my face was a mess!! And I would notice it more when I had foundation and blush on!! but than Grecia meet the Clinique pore refining serum!! I have only had this product for maybe like a week now. I was kinda skeptical about buying it cause I dint think any thing would work. But like the first time I tried it was amazing!! by the second time I used this product my pores were almost all gone!! yeah GONE!! unbelievable. I use it after my 3 step care and than I put on my makeup. Clinique products have not let me down yet!!

My Skin Care Products.

I decided to do a Skin Care review on the facial products that I use daily. The 3 Step skin care that I use is clinique. I have been using the 3 step for about 3 years now. It is great!! I have sensitive skin so for years I tried  to find the perfect acne product for my skin. I noticed a great improvement on my skin within the first time. I really could not believe how awesome this stuff is your skin looks fresh and its just great. I really do recommend this product. 
 1. First Step I wash my face with the soap, I use warm water.




2. I use the toner for Oily skin, I also use cotton pads. Massage your face with circular motions.
3. The third step is the gel  moisturizer. Massage on your face this gives a very cool feeling. 
I hope this helps out!! Have a great week!! Grace is sufficient!!

TOMS.

I have got to say that helping and lifting people have got to be one of the most important priority on my list. But sometimes we just get so caught up with our lifes that we don't have time to help other people. But when I do get the pleasure to help other people it makes me feel great. I love to see people smile and be happy. Thank God he has blessed me so much that I get to bless other people. Its a pretty awesome thing!!
So I have like 500 pairs of  TOMS shoes!! (well not really more like 4) and I think they are AMAZING!! 
Not only are they super comfortable they also provide shoes for someone else!! how great is that!! I am buying something I like, and you are helping someone else?? It really does not get better than that!!  
So I was at church Wednesday and I decided to wear my favorite pair of shoes they are like pink!! and glittery!! if something or anything has any type of glitter it like should be named after me cause I will wear it or buy it!!
But any way I cant ever get to my point cause I talk to much!! The point is that these shoes are super cute and they help people!! so yeah!! Have a great day!! you are awesome!! and Jesus loves you!! 
THIS IS AWESOME!!
