Summer Ice DREAM shaving cream!

hey ya'll as every summer i have found an alternative to the common shaving cream
i don't know if i have mentioned before how much i hate shaving my legs, specially in those awkward moments when your friends plan an impromptu trip to the pool then you shave all in a hurry then as you gracefully enter the pool OUCH! mother burnnnnnnnnnnnn! 

well since i am totes talking from experience I indeed had to shave for an impromptu trip to the pool last week,  so i grabbed my honey mango CREAM SHAVE i had just bought in my last trip to TJ's
I  quickly shaved and as soon as i got in the pool i was surprised that i had NO ITCH or BURN at all!

Just like heaven in a bottle + it smells amaze balls! 





it is also 100% vegetarian! WIN-WIN!

Eventhough shaving is one of my most dreaded tasks...at least my bathroom smells like ice cream

Daily Makeup Basics

daily makeup

I have been reading a lot of beauty blogs and i have noticed that a lot of girls have or use A LOT of makeup on a daily basis. I have discovered in my lifetime of using makeup that for an every day makeup we need a FEW key items and that will keep our skin at its best, protected and healthy for a 
long long time! 

 I have those genes where people keep telling me i look 17 and its great and all but honestly youthful skin does not only depend on genes but on how you take care of it. 

 I will get in more in depth about my daily routine a little later... For now i'm going to give you my basics inside my makeup bag 

 1.  MOST important of all before any makeup SUNSCREEN girls. If you are serious about being forever young. WEAR sunscreen. 

2. Face Wipes I carry this in my purse because if my eye liner gets smeared or need to refresh my makeup i can easily do it

3. BB cream . For an every day look i like to look natural and fresh so i use a BB cream . 
4. EYELINER i love gel eye liner and its a stable of my every day makeup

5. Peach Blush makes a great every day makeup item because it gives off a natural feel of a fresh subtle tone face.

6. Along with that you must always make room for a GOOD Blush brush. I cannot live without one!

 7. Last but not least.. a good makeup pouch. I recommend carrying a small pouch so in case you live in TEXAS like me, the heat won't ruin all your fancy makeup. 

What is on your basic makeup? Can we agree sunscreen is a MUST? 
Let me know in the comment box below. Your comments make my day!

This Weekend you need to drip in GOLD

Anyone that knows me knows three basic things about me ,which tend to be the most important and easiest ways to understand me. 

#1 I'M A LEO
#2 I love GOLD/SHIMMER everything
#3 I HATE tans


With that being said here we go.  
I don't think i mentioned here but i did mentioned on my twitter @cindilove  i finally went to LUSH. That organic, hand made cosmetic store where soap is 19 dlls a pound. I'm not going to say bad things about the store only that  i just feel that being a "happy hippie" (name of one of their body washes) is EXPENSIVE and a bit pointless. The entire time i was in the store  I was mainly trying to figure out what i was looking at and what i was smelling. After many surprisingly bad smells, odd textures and pricey soaps ...... i tried this thing called LUSTRE. 

OH -EM- GEEZAAY from the heavens. 
(i legit said that)


Its this little bottle of soft shimmer? i can't really describe the texture but the smell is amazing. It smells like pure desire in a bottle. (btw it does also have a warning that the smell puts the 'lust' in lustre) 
I grabbed the bottle and spread it though my arms and legs  the shimmer was so nice ,  it was not the glittery 13 yr old glitter shimmer (which i do also love..don't judge) it was more like a fake tan shimmer. 
Knowing what you know of me guess what?...i didn't even freak out when i saw that my skin looked healthy sun kissed , smelled amazing AND having that shimmery look.

Trust me i have tried MANY shimmery lotions, liquids, powders etc; i have not ever liked one as much as this. The price well.. still very expensive hippie and i'm not even judging.  I'm just hoping in the back of my mind that it was made with unicorn smiles or something amazing like that. 

This is my beauty obsession of the week ! I don't feel like going out this weekend but showing off my perfectly sun kissed skin might just make me change my mind. 

What body shimmers are your favorite? do share with me !!! plz! seriously.
