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!!
