Pillow Pets Penguin Hat- Christmas Gift!

Today I received my Christmas gift from my boyfriend! haha I felt so bad because I already knew what it was. He told me he had bought me something and I was surprised because he had just gotten me a Birthday Gift (See blog post before this one to see what it was). Anyways..all last night I was thinking, I hope he got me a pillow pet! haha I have never owned one and I had no idea they made hats especially! This must be the best thing ever invented! Well..that and Alexander Mcqueen scarves! lol. But nevertheless, this hat is awesome to be given as a gift because it's cute and useful! I usually get headaches when I am in the cold, and I hate wearing hates or beanies! But this actually flatters this big head of mine. The hair feels nice and silky althought it contains no silk. It just doesn't feel like a poorly stuffed animal which is a big plus for me. I love it so much I have not taken it off my head since I have gotten home which was almost two hours ago! lol. Thanks Adrian C:

Coach Enamel White Owl Keychain

I received this keychain from my boyfriend today! It is amazing! I honestly was not expecting anything from him. I was surprised when he popped out with the Coach gift bag. Inside it contained a box and when I opened it, there was a little box. I opened it and there it was. A white owl with rhinestones! I fell in love at first sight with it! What makes it even more special is that it is my first Coach Keychain. I have never bought one before. Thank you Adrian! <3 haha I felt bad at first because when I opened the bag to check for it's contents, I didn't notice the card he made me. hahaha Life cannot be any better! Dinner and a gift!
Let me tell you about the key chain! It is 1 1/4" x 5/8" and approx. 1/2" thick. It is beautiful! What I love about it are the swarvoski stones it has on the chest and on the eyes! I love how strong it is and the color! The color is fabulous! What I def. love about it, is that I can wear it all year long! I can't wait to wear it on a purse or on my car keys! Thank you Adrian!

Chanel Soft Glow Blush Horizon de Chanel

This blush is awesome! What attracted me the most is all the different colors it has to make a unique color. I also loved that it did not contain bronzer because I feel it's too dramatic for spring but for summer it is perfect since when it's summer, you want to look fresh and bronzed. This blush is perfect to give you that soft glow for the daytime, it makes you look very natural. What I love about Chanel blushes is that they do not make you look so fake and cakey which is a big plus for me. I mean who wants to walk around looking like they have some pink dirt their faces. It has some glitter to it but not too much. I personally fell in love with this as soon as I saw the picture online. It gives with a brush in a seprate velvet bag, but I do not recommend it since it does not put any blush on.I use my blush brush from Chanel, I do not know the name of it but it's angeled. If you are looking to look natural in the spring or summer, this is definitely for you.
Five stars for looking natural and flawless!
It retails for $45.00

Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow 91 Tigerlily

The eyeshadow is exactly what it is called. It is a soft touch of orange on the eyelids. When I first saw it online, I thought it was going to be very pigmented but then I remembered Chanel does not make exotic colors. I went to go check it out in store and it was the most beautiful color I have ever seen in my life. It is like a soft tigerlily flower color. The color does have glitter to it but it does like tacky. The other color they had was called Rose Mauve? I am not too sure but it did not catch my attention. I would possibly pair this eyeshadow with brown since it would look so cute in the summer and also to make it stand out more. I have never been a fan of orange but this is pretty much acceptable.

I also give this 5 stars because I have never seen a color so elegant before. When I think Orange, I think of Halloween.

The eyeshadow retails for $28.50 and it is limited edition. Once it's gone, it's gone.

Chanel Natural Finish Pressed Powder 150 Jasmin

I had to get this since it had glitter! Yes, I am a sucker for anything with any that shines and sparkles! But this powder is awesome! It is so light and gives you shine all over your face. You can just put it all over your face or you can just use it on your cheeks, depends where you want it to be noticed. I personally am going to use it for all over because the glitter isn't so dramatic, it's nice and elegant, just how Chanel is known for. I took a picture of me being outside so you can get the idea of how it looks on and how shiny it is. I have oily skin and I have found this to be no problem on my skin. Remember when you have oily skin, you want to use powder since it absorbs the oil on your face. I do not think it provides enough coverage so you might want to use foundation. I found Chanel's aqualumiere foundation to be perfect for this since it is light, or you can use whatever liquid foundation you want of your choice. I will possibly be using it by itself when I go to school, just so I can feel glamourous. I know it is still winter but hey Spring is a couple months away!

I give it 5 stars out of 5 stars since I am always looking for something to make me sparkle without looking soo dramatic.

Also, I do not reccommend to use the makeup pad that it comes with. Use it with a brush to get more of an effect.

The price is $45.00

Chanel Spring 2012 Makeup Collection

Boy did I get lucky! I was speaking to my SA at the Chanel counter at Macys on Tuesday asking when the Spring 2012 collection was going to be in. She told me maybe by January due to the holidays and also Macys gets everything last...but she called me yesterday before heading off to work that it already arrived! She said she would hold the blush for me since she knew I really wanted it.I was so excited! As soon as I left work, I left to Macys and I waited about one and a half hours in traffic (Oh the things I do for Makeup!)

The Spring 2012 collection is beautiful! I was not really a fan of last years but this year it is to die for! I thought I was going to hate it since pictures online can be so deceitful but trust me, it is beautiful! I did not walk away with blush...but also with their powder, nail polish,lipstick, and an eyeshadow.

I will post up more pictures soon of the makeup itself! Check back for my blog for my updates!

NouriShea Mango Conditioner

I was foruntate enough to receive a free sample of a brand called NouriShea. They found me through a Sephora posting I left on facebook. What I recevied was the Mango Conditioner and let me tell you it is amazing!
As soon as I opened it, I loved the smell. Yes I am not a fan of fruit on my hair but this just gave a little hint of mango. The smell is not overwhelming which I loved.
The texture is creamy and a little on the thick side.
I've used it twice already and I have noticed a difference in my hair. The first time I used it, my hair felt soft, moisturized, silky, and it looked shiny. My curls were so defined that I did not need to use my Enjoy Shaping Lotion to get those curls. It left my hair looking natural and my mother noticed a difference in my hair. The second time, I used it I got the same results. My curls appear so much defined now. What's amazing is that this conditioner does not leave my hair greasy. I am so worried about my hair getting greasy since I have a habit of touching my bangs throughout the day. But with this, I no longer to need to worry as I go to school and work.

If you straighten your hair alot or if your daily routine with your hair involves heat, then you should definitely try this. I stopped straightening my hair since I worried about that it was going to get damaged but now I may consider straightening it a little more often due to this product.

If you are looking for a conditioner free from artificial or synthetic fragrances, artificial colors, parabens, sulfates, formaldehydes or Urea, then this product is for you.
Their products are not tested on animals.
Their main ingrediant that is used is shea butter which is 100% USDA Certified Organic C:

The price: It retails for $24 but right now it is on sale for the holidays for $18.00

It is defenitley not pricey due to it is for your hair.
Remember when it comes to putting things on your body, you have to invest!

Enjoy Luxury Shampoo Sulfate Free

I had a request to do a sulfate free shampoo and this by far has to be my favorite. This shampoo is made by Enjoy. Their products are to die for since everything that I have used from them leaves my hair feeling good but the it can be a little pricey.
My brother being the nerd that he is gave me a lecture about buying sulfate free shampoos. He basically told me that shampoos contain levels of alkaline which are usually 6.5 on the pH scale therefore the difference between a sulfate free and a regular shampoo is that it is around 5.0 to 6.0 on the ph Scale which is a good thing since nails, hair, and skin go at 4.5 on the pH scale. Therefore, using a sulfate free shampoo will not strip your color of your hair, whether or not you die it and it will not leave it dry. I know I have used plenty of shampoos in the past that have left my hair feeling that it was about to fall off.
This Enjoy shampoo left my hair feeling silky and squeeky clean. I felt that it actually took the dryness off my scalp but I feel I need more moisture though due to my curls.
My brother on the other hand, his hair completely changed. I know he is going to get mad at me for talking about him on here. lol. My brother has medium hair and it is straight. Before it looked dry but I noticed a change in his hair. It looks and feels silky and it did not leave his hair greasy at all. His hair color looks more colorful before his hair looked like a faded out brown. (My bro does not dye his hair)
Anyways, if you have straight hair, dry scalp, normal, etc. this product is for you. If you have curly hair, I would suggest you find something a little bit more with moisture. Also to complete the shampoo, you need to buy the Enjoy Luxury Conditioner. If you have any questions, let know.

The shampoo costs about $17.99 at Hans in Hacienda Heights,CA.
I'm pretty sure you can get a better deal online though.

Peter Coppola Argan Oil Shampoo

I have curly hair and what everyone needs to know is that curly hair is the dryest since it has no oil. Therefore people with curly hair need to use products with oils. One such oil that I personally love is Argan oil. It leaves my hair feeling like silk without weighing it down. Anyways, I picked up this shampoo called Peter Coppola Argan oil Shampoo and I must say that this is the best I have tried so far. The shamppo is specifically formulated for dry, brittle, and damaged hair and repairs and deeply moisturizes it. I must actually agree with this since this is straight off the packaging. I have been using it for over a month now and I am now on my second bottle. It retails for $20.00 but if you find it at Marshalls, you can buy it for half the price which is $9.99. It is a 32oz bottle so you are pretty much getting a good deal. I would definitely recommend this if you have curly hair and find it dry, you straighten it often and use a lot of heat then this product is definitely for you. If you have a question, let me know!
