January Makeup WishList

January Makeup WishList by cari featuring mac cosmetics

This are the goodies that I would love to add to my kit. I decided to do a separate post dedicated to only my makeup wishlist. Lets begin. 
1. Beauty Blender, I have heard great reviews about this tool. It says to leave your makeup looking like it was airbrushed. It's on the pricey side at over $20. There is a dupe that only runs $9 from Sonia Kashuk. Also great reviews.
2. Another product that I have heard so much about it the Ben Nye Banana Powder. It says to set the foundation and leaving your skin looking smooth and no cakiness.  
3. MAC eyeshadows from top to bottom Carbon, Brown Script and Sketch, $12 each
4. MAC #217 Blending brush said to be the holly grail of blending brushes.

Merry Christmas (My Holiday Recap)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

I hope that your Christmas was filled with happiness and blessings. I wanted to share with you guys my holidays, give you a glimpse more into my life. This was how my family and I spent the holidays. 

Let me begin by showing you my Christmas tree. I love these colors but this is the third year with them. I keep adding things every year and I thought about this being the last year and retiring the colors. But I love them so much and they go with my decor. 

I love this color combination. I recently added the lime green color.

The only thing not in combination with the color is the wrapping but why would I buy another roll is this one wrapped 9. It would have been a waste.

The 99cent Store has really beautiful ornaments which is where I purchase mine. This one came in a pack of 6.

The hubby and I decided that this holiday season we would do our best to try to visit as many places that were decked out in the holiday cheer. We really tried but things would come up on the weekend that we ended up doing only one. If you are ever in LA during the holidays you must visit The Grove. 

This is the first thing I saw when I walked in from the parking structure. Santa was taking picture in the front door. Oh Yeah and that white spot is fake snow.

My lil man right in front of The Grove tree said to be bigger then the one in Rockefeller Center in NY.

 

To my surprise it became to snow. Everyone including myself took pictures and video. So glad I got to see it.

This place is so beautifully decorated during the holidays. Really makes you feel in the holiday spirit.

Didn't do much on Christmas Eve other then had my cousin's visit for some adult beverages and the kids opened their presents.

Usually on Christmas we stay home but this year since we did not do much on Christmas Eve we went to Palm Springs Air Tramway Mountain. 

Windmills means that you are that you are very close to Palm Springs.

The kids waiting in the lobby for the tram to take us up the mountain.

On the mountain with my Santa hat after all it is Christmas.

Having a blast

Instead of sitting on the sled while my daughter pulled him he lied on it. lol

She's on top of the world.

my son exhausted after two hours of playing in the snow...he told me that night that he had fun but did not want to go again, lol.

Just lean on me. I will hold you up in the good times and hard times of your life.          Appreciating mother earth's beauty.

It's snowing....no it didn't I just threw snow up while I took some pictures. You can see the kids and hub in the middle right.

We were up really high. I zoomed a little in this picture.

This is almost what it mostly how it appeared from up above....so high up.

Waiting for the tram to take us back down.

Every time the tram went past this post it would swing and we were really high up so the people inside it would scream. Felt like a roller coaster ride.

This pretty much concludes the holidays....New Years is left but that would have made this post to long.

Blessings, Cari

Metallic Jeans

Hey Loves,

Hope you guys began your weekend off right. I had the brilliant idea to head to the mall today even though I have already finished my Xmas shopping. Yeah it was a bad idea. It was jam packed in the parking lot and in the stores with Xmas shoppers. You might be wondering why I decided to go to the mall...I was looking for beanies and gloves for the fam. We are taking a trip to Palm Springs on Christmas to the snow. You would think that I would be able to find a lot since it's Winter but no sir eh. I found some beanie but need gloves. Still on the hunt. I finished off the night eating at a Chinese resturant to which we ended up ordering to much food. It was yummy. 

Wrote so much already....hehehe. Now about this post. Hubby doesn't like how these ended up fitting and I can see why he say that. The back pocket stitching does not let my booty take its natural form. Instead it presses down on it making it look like I am wearing some tight granny panties. BTW, it sheds that metallic finish that is over the pants. 

Till next post,

LOVE Cari

 

Hola Amores,

Espero que haigan comenzado su fin de semana con un buen comienzo. Tube la  brillante idea de ir al centro comercial aunque yo ya termine mis compras de Navidad. Si fue una mala idea. Esta replicado de carros en el estacionamiento y de shoppers en las tiendas. Estaras pensando la razon que me llevo a esa idea loca. Fui por que necesitaba comprar guantes y gorros para nuestro viaje hacia Palm Springs en Navidad. Pensaras que como estamos en invierno no fuera difícil encontrar las cosas pero si lo fue. Todavía estoy en la búsqueda. Terminamos la noche comiendo en un resturante de comida China. Estaba rica.

Ya e escrito demasiado...jejeje. Ahora acerca de este post. Mi maridito no lo gusto como me lucia este pantalón de metálica. La razon porque no le gusto era porque el detalle de los bolsillos de atras aplazaban mis ponpis. La hacia mirar como que me las aplastaba. Bueno creo que eso se lo puedo arreglar.

Hasta la proxima,

Besitos Cari
