Jolly VoxBox

Hello Loves,

       I'm sharing you the items that were in my Jolly VoxBox. These were all items that were sent to me for testing and reviewing. I love trying and testing out new things and of course sharing with ya'll my opinion. So let's begin.

1. Skinny Cow Chocolates- ONLY 130 CALORIES for those ladies who have a sweet tooth and is watching their calories. They are filled with peanut butter in the center..reminds me so much of Reese's Peanut Butter cups. I got a sweet tooth and I do watch what I eat so this for me feels less of a sin. They are so delicious.

2. NYC HD Color Trio Eyeshadow. I did a simple look using this palette and added a little black to create more depth to the outer V and lower lash line. Good color pigmentation.

3. Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer- It definitely has a smell to it. I can't exactly pin point the exact smell but it's not horrific. It's more like a fruity smell. It applies smoothly and has good pigmentation. Downside to it is the applicator. I don't like that it has a little hole at the very end, now this might have been done to allow more product to go on the brush. Overall it's a good product.
4. Puffs Tissue- To be completely honest, I don't ever purchase tissue paper. If you do then these little packs might be good for you as you can put them in your purse.
5. DuckTape- Great for the holidays because they have a nice pretty patterns. If you are creative then you can find many ways of using this unique tape.

L.A. BABY

      The inspiration for this outfit began with a pair of thigh-high socks. After spotting them at my local TJMaxx I began to imagine the type of outfit I would wear with it. "A skirt," so I thought, "but what type of skirt." The search began. A skater skirt would be more ideal for these socks. Once I had the skater skirt the image of the outfit filled my head. You'll definitely be seeing a few more outfit with featuring these socks once more before the weather changes.

Holiday Glam Tutorial Inspired by Britney Spears

 photo DA02C7A1-B5E1-4D93-9161-D6BCFDB3CA45_zpsnvz97lkg.jpg

Hello Loves,

I came across this fabulous picture of Britney Spears. First thought was "what a perfect holiday look."  So here I am recreating it. The difference is that my lips are more of a reddish tone then the wine colors she is rocking. You can always change the color...one very lovely and so inexpensive is Dark Cherry by Revlon. Hope you all have a very fabulous and wonderful Merry Christmas.

Love Cari

Purple Galore Makeup Tutorial


 photo AF03398C-6B7F-4FA8-A378-14F2BD963214_zpstehe5aig.jpg

Hola Bellas,

It's Friday, yah! I filmed a makeup tutorial because I was feeling very inspired. I played with some color since I never do so. If anything purple is like the only color I would actually wear out. I just love how it complements and it's not to overwhelming. 

Hope you'll enjoy it. Ill have a very easy one right before Xmas, so stay tune for that one.

Xo, Cari

Suave VoxBox

 photo 68A9B137-A8CD-491E-9238-CD08631B9862_zpsmtsa8qt9.jpg

Hey Dollies,

    Have you heard of Influenster? In case you haven't I'll elaborate a little. Influenster is website that gives the opportunity for bloggers and youtubers to test out and share their opinions on the different products that they send completely free. I received the Suave VoxBox. It contained three different products (full size). One of the products was a lotion. I am horrible at applying lotion, I always tend to go without it.
    This lotion has a wonderful fragrance and it leaves my skin feeling smooth. I don't know why I've gone so long without wearing any lotion. Now the men body wash for obvious reason I have not tried, unless I want to make my husband to think I've been messing around Im not trying it. I will say that it has a very manly smell and it's a rather pleasant smell. The kid mousse is awesome for kids with curly hair. No flakes and stick like hair, this leaves their hair very soft and flake free.
   You can also be an Influenster. Go to their site, sign up and get to testing.

Xo, Cari

Christmas at The Americana




 photo 2FB4A8C9-ECA3-4587-B5D8-4046994D6CC5_zps5ullj5p1.jpg


Hello Lovelies,

    I have no outfit post this week but I do have pictures that I took this past weekend at The Americana. I was able to capture a picture of what I wore plus some pictures of the family.  The Americana is a shopping center very similar to the so popular The Grove but this one is in the city on Glendale, California. My husband told me that Katy Perry is currently staying in the apartments located above the shopping center. He would know as he delivers furniture ($$$) to movie sets, celebrities and offices and she happened to be one of them (lucky him). Adjacent to The Americana is the Glendale Mall. And just like The Grove, The Americana also had snow. I absolutely love that even though we don't get to have a white christmas there is still places in Southern Cali that decorate so beautifully for the holidays.

Suited and Booted

   
 photo IMG_5544_zpsd1c7c8ea.jpg


            Instagram has allowed me to follow new fashion enthusiast who have wonderful fashion sense. They give me new ideas and inspire me to recreate looks and try something new. I fell in love with a look by a guy called @bpnc. After wearing it I realized that it was so reminiscent of Kim Kardashian's Christmas Card from years past. I loved it. My kids said that I looked like a waiter (lol).

What inspires you?

Material Blue

Hey Lovelies,

Yah, I got some outdoor pictures. Im really doing my best to get great pictures and as you will see in the next few post I'm improving. I have some plans for the future and in order for it to be successful this has to work. I must make time to take pictures outdoors. This has its benefits cause Im forced to look for locations and therefore exposing the family and I to places in Souther LA that we haven't seen. In this pictures we barely made it out in time to catch the last sunlight. 

Hope you guys enjoy this post.
Xo, Cari
