2012 Makeup Colors you MUST have!

Sonia — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 04:45:54 +0000

2012 is here and it now time to revamp your cosmetics and show just how trendy you are! I am here to help you with what is in for Spring! All these products are suggestions and you can always find the same types of colors with any brand.

1. TANGERINE AND CHERRY RED LIPSTICK

Try MAC “Montage” Lipstick and MAC “Russian Red”

Orange isn’t reserved for traffic cones and prison jumpsuits anymore. This color will warm up both fair and dark skin. When you wear a a saturated orange and strong lip keep the rest of your makeup low key and stick to a soft, peach blush and a swipe of black eyeliner plus some nice mascara.

Red never goes out of fashion. Red hot lips makes any women look sexy and sultry. Blue-based reds look best on fair skin while orange-based ones flatter medium and dark complexions

2. GLOSSY BROWN GOLD SHADOW AND PEARLY WHITE EYE SHADOW

Try MAC Metal X Eyeshadow in “Venetian Tarnish” Golden tarnished bronze and “Virgin Silver” White with silver pearl

Brown eye shadow is a makeup-bag staple, but now makeup artists are amping it up with a touch of shine. MAC just came out with a line of Metal X shadows that are amazing! I love that they have a nice metallic shimmer to them and come a bunch of different colors but the shimmer brown is what is in season right now! Just a touch of this swept over the eyes adds instant attraction to your eyes.

3. LAYERED BLUSHES IN PINK AND APRICOT

Try MAC “Fresh Honey” Blush (Warm apricot) and “Early Morning” Blush (Peachy pink)

This is the year to layer your blushes! Wearing only one color makes your face look flat and one dimensional – make it look naturally flushed by applying the peach blush first, followed by pink, on the apples of your cheeks.

4. VIOLET NAILS

Try OPI “Venus Di Violet”

Violet nails are all the rage on the 2012 Spring runways. Violet looks best on short, well-groomed nails.

5. CREAMY BROWN LINER

Try MAC “Teddy” Kohl Eye Pencil

What is hot on Spring 2012 runways? Hot brown smokey eyes. Rim the inside of your lower lash line with your favorite black pencil, then draw a smudgy chocolate brown line along your upper and lower lash lines – smudge it out to create that smokey effect and make it look hot with a nude lip.

6. PEACHY PINK LIP GLOSS

Try MAC “Naked Space” Creamy mid-tone nude peach

The 2012 nude lip is a pinky peach lip gloss that flatters all skin tones. Tap peach gloss over the center of soft pink lips for a all natural glow and kissable lips.

You can purchase pigments from everywhere now a days but how do you use them? You can use Pigments in so many different ways! Here is a breakdown of how to use them:

1. Pigments can be used with MAC Fix + to intensify the color and keep it on your eyes

How has Cancer touched you? Here is my story…..

Sonia — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 19:07:40 +0000

October is breast cancer month. I wish there was a ALL cancer month to honor all those that go through all different types of cancer.

As you walk down the street you are passing hundreds of people and almost all of them will have some story of how it has entered their life. I truly hate saying the word so I try not to say “it”. I never thought that it would somehow enter my life. You know people always think that bad things happen to others until it one day knocks on your front door and you are deeply shocked as to how this happened. You think, did I do something wrong? Only if I had chosen this path instead of that maybe it could have been different? It all comes down to karma.

“It” entered my life last year in May of 2010 when my dad had his first seizure. I was working with a bride that day and no one told me about what had happened. I was also about 4 months pregnant with Jasmira (my third little girl) My cousin had texted me in the evening asking “How is your dad doing?” I looked at the text a bit confused and responded back “I guess he is ok” I thought to myself what an odd question to ask randomly, I mean we never talked about my dad. It was always about the kids or something. After I had got done with work I called my mother who did not answer her calls and either did anyone else. I was getting worried. Finally I received a call from my brother who had said dad was in the hospital and he had a breathing tube and the doc tors don’t know what is going on. He was admitted into the ICU and stayed there for about 3-4 days. Well it turned out that he had not taken his medications properly and he was going to be ok and he was released to go home. We were thrilled!

A few months passed and dad seemed to be doing ok, working and partying just like he always had. Then in June my dad was sitting in his truck and my brother found him seizing and foaming at the mouth. My brother called 911 and they thought he had a stroke. They had him again on a breathing tube and started doing multiple MRIs, CAT Scans and other blood work. This time the MRI showed a little lesion on the left side of his brain. We were shocked. The doctor wanted to do a biopsy but my dad refused. My dad got better in the ICU and was released after a week. He was going to be monitored every month with MRIs and other tests to keep this lesion under control. We were told that medications could probably help make everything ok.

A few months passed and in October the doctors finally told my dad that the lesion had grown into a tumor and that he had to operate ASAP. My dad and family were terrified but after much argument with my dad he agreed to be operated on. The surgery went well. The weeks following the surgery were difficult for him. He was always in pain but never said he was. He was always a trooper. Never said anything was ever wrong.

A few weeks after the surgery the biopsy revealed that my dad had brain cancer. The worst thing we feared. Everyone silently cried. There was more to the story though. He had the worst kind. GBM. This is rare and incurable and the prognosis is very bad. The doctors pretty much said to go ahead and start dealing with any final things he wanted to do in his life. Patients with this type of disease live no longer than 18 months. He never told the family or even showed how scared he really was. He was always still happy go lucky.

My dad went through all the regular treatments, radiation then all the different types of chemo. Well none of it really worked. Only made dad weaker. Dad is still with us thank God but its been a hard journey for the family. Dad no longer responds to us like he use to, stays in bed all day and cant do the fun things he wants to. We love and pray for dad everyday that somehow some miracle comes and allows him to stay with us as long as he can.

This is my first post ever about my personal life. I wanted to share it with the world to make sure others know that life isnt always full of sunny days, everyone has cloudy days and even cloudy seasons. Everyone has a story to tell and I have shared mine.

The best things in life are free

Sonia — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 15:01:22 +0000

Everyone always wants to be the richest, the sexiest, the person on top BUT have they ever thought of IF they had all the money in the world it would mean nothing if they could not have their health to enjoy it? Everyone should thank God everyday that they have another day to live and breath and to be with the ones they love. They have their health and they are able to take a breath so that they can enjoy their loved ones and the fruits of their labor. There are so many people in this world that take their health for granted. They engage in drugs or overuse of alcohol or they just abuse their bodies. How can someone do that and then think they will be 100 some day? Just a thought to think about….

Thought of the day 8/17/11

Sonia — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 12:48:45 +0000

Sometimes feelings can make you think about why a human has to feel a certain way. I mean that if you did not experience any happiness in life then you would not know what sadness is. Life is so amazing and its such a short journey. I wanted to write a quick post to share with everyone to cherish everyday you have with your friends and family and always take an extra step to be kind to others even if they dont return the favor. Remember what goes around comes around! This is the thought of the day
