Fall Outfits and Trends

Hello Gorgeous!

Fall is here and I am loving it! The weather is changing, rainy days, cozy blankets and warm coffee, tea or hot chocolate...Apple or pumpkin picking... and the list of reasons why I love Fall keeps going. I can't forget to mention it is my anniversary month! so excited!

Well today I wanted to share with you some of my favorite trends this fall.

            • Oversize Cardigans are a must ! In neutrals or dark colors. 
            • Ankle boots are one of my favorites! Boots in general I must say. These ones are from Rocketdog footwear. They are boy inspired with a feminine touch! super cute!  
            • A big tote bag and Aviators from Quay 
This look is so cute, comfortable and affordable. Another favorite is the All black look! Black on black please every day! 

Black jeans, ankle boots, stripped tunic, choker, bun, lashes and lets go! It's an easy look and you'll look so put together. 
By the way it was pouring the day I wore this outfit! That's my honest expression of how  I felt. The weather played me. 



Hope you liked this looks. More to come! 

XOXO,

Recent Make up essentials


Hello Dolls,

Lately I've been investing more in my make up collection. It's so much fun!! Lately I am into the bronze glowing look. With the warm weather I want to look like the sun just kissed me. I will start with the products I am using to prep my face before applying make up.
The new Rainforest of the Sea collection from Tarte has been my go to. I use the "Drink of H2O" a hydrating boost that leaves my skin so soft and it smells so good. Then I spray the "Marine boosting mist" for a refreshing finish. I let it dry and start my face.

For the past 8 months I've been using the Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer. I have no words to describe this perfection! The coverage and how it feels on your skin is like wearing nothing, but covers everything! The one seen above is the light/neutral shade. I'm betting you've heard of this product already, there are plenty of great reviews on it. The bronzer in the picture is by Physicians Formula, the Bronze Booster in the shade light to medium.This bronzer is a mate bronzer with an airbrushing finish that it's to die for. I apply it using the Morphe M402  angle brush that gives you that soft bronze look.  Another favorite is the blush brush  by Morphe from the Elite collection the E4,which is an excellent brush.

Lately, another obsession of mine is "highlighting". I don't think a girl can ever have enough highlighters. With that said, YOU NEED the new Champagne Collection Face Palette! This palette is a Becca Cosmetics limited edition collaboration with Jaclyn Hill. She is one of my favorite makeup guru's. The blushes and highlights in this palette are beautiful and versatile. You can combine them or use them by themselves. It's just AMAZING! The packaging is a dream! I like to apply a liquid or cream highlighter before applying the powder highlight. The cream highlighter that I've been using lately is the Sonia Kashuk highlighter stick in the shade sparkling sands and it's absolutely beautiful (got it at Target). This product alone will give you a natural glow  that blends beautifully. I have also fallen hard for another favorite highlighter of mine from non other than  Angel Merino (known as Mac_Daddy)  called "Artist Couture" diamond glow powder. The shade "Gold Digger"  is seriously powerful. A small amount of this highlighter has the potential to blind the whole city with its glow! hahaha can you imagine that!? No, but seriously this powder gives you a very unique glow that will make the stars jealous!

And to finalize my list of products, my go to eye palette is the Too Faced Natural Eyes-The neutral eye shadow collection. These  9 shadows are so pigmented and blend so beautiful that you wont be able to live without them. You can create so many looks with this palette, from effortless day looks  to more dramatic night looks! It's a must have and what I like the most is the size of the palette, you can take it everywhere.

That's all for now...if you made it this far thanks for reading. I might have been all over the place, but I wanted to share with you my favorite products from the past months. Also, I would love to hear about your favorite makeup products, I'm looking for other brands and products to try. Makeup for me is fun and helps us accentuate our natural beauty. Have fun with it and find the products and styles that work best for you.

Stay Beautiful!

Hello blue sunny skies!

Hello Dolls,

Welcome to my blog! Hope everyone is doing well! Here in Connecticut has been raining for weeks so finally last weekend the sun showed up and believe I was out and about enjoying it! :)

This is what I wore on Saturday for my in-laws Kitchen warming party. It was so much fun to see family and friends. I decided to go comfy and here I am wearing one of my favorite jeans!! The rock-stars skinny from Old Navy, they are the BOMB!!

This super cute sweater is from Old Navy got it on sale for like $9.99! Which I love lol Bought it 2X because I like loose fit on sweaters. My jeans are size 18 from Old navy too. I was a little skeptical on wearing this blue sweater with this earth brown color but when I saw it all together I loved it. Handbag is from Aldo's and shoes are White Mountain, got them at Marshals. I remember walking around the store and saw them and needed them, you all know that feeling! Right?




Hope you all love this outfit as much as I do! Let me know what you think! 

XOXO,

Spring Break in Puerto Rico

Spring Break in P.R. 

Hey guys!!! Hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to share my adventure during my spring break! Finally a break! I love teaching but I was soooo looking forward for this mini vacation. 

My husband and I decided to take a short trip to the Island to enjoy some time with family and friends and also enjoy some warm weather since CT is still cold. What's going on mother nature?? lol If you are on the East Coast you know what I mean. 

We stayed in Puerto Rico for 5 days. Mostly in the East side at a town called Humacao.
Such a beautiful town! We stayed with my dad and his wife.

We had looots of fun eating delicious food and walking around a nice beach and national park.
We visited the next day El Yunque Rainforest! Such a beautiful place! The trees, flowers, views, breeze, rivers and the sound of birds was soooo relaxing. We definetly enjoyed our visit here.




 La Coca Falls- beautiful water falls

 After a fun walk and cold refreshing waters, we stop at a place near El Yunque called Los Kioskos at Luquillo. You can find the most delicious puertorrican food here. If you are on a diet, not the right place to stop lol :) 





Adventure at Playa Sucia, Cabo Rojo

This is the most beautiful beach I've ever been. Clear waters, white sand, great views and warm sun. I was amazed by its beauty. This is a "most go" if you ever visit the island.  






Our last days we spend it with our families and friends at Old San Juan the Capital of PR and a very beautiful place to walk around and enjoy. 






It was a beautiful time! I missed everyone already...specially the weather! 

Until the next one! 

XOXO, 
Lyma
