Purple eyehsadows

I always wonder why I turn to purple eyeshadows alot. And you know after giving it a good thought I was like duh!!!!! Maybe because Purple makes my Hazel brown eyes stand out! lol. And the pictures above PROVE THAT THEORY! So I got my Manly Pallet in the mail last week and I was stoked! I have been waiting on this to come in for exactly one month! I ordered it off of ebay because it was dirt cheep but that was because it was coming from Hong Kong and it took FOREVER to get into my hands! But it has beautiful colors and very  pigmented. It has 120 colors to choose from! I have been wanting to get very creative with all the bright colors and I did so in a tutorial I posted on my Youtube account: www.youtube.com/rsjrodriguez . Feel free to check it out.
So with this look I took a very deep plum purple and placed that all over my lid. Then I got a very light shimmery purple and layered that above the deep purple in the crease. Next I took the very pigmented black and defined my outer corner and crease with it. After that there is this vanilla color that I used as a highlight and also as the tear duct highlight. Then I took the deep purple and dragged that under my eye about half way in and blended the vanilla color with it in the middle. I used my MAC Fluidline in blacktrack to line my lids and a little bit under my lower lashes. Topped that off with my Covergirl Lashblast to my upper and lower lashes and My eyes were set. For my eyebrows I used the Elf brow kit. For my face (mind you I look extremely pale because of the flash on my phone) I used Revlon Colorstay in True Beige. Add my Studio fix concealer to my problem areas then dabbed a little studiofix powder to seal it all together. For My blush I used Mac Mineralized Skin Finish in Comfort and then a pink blush on my apples. I don't have any lipstick on because my lips are extremely chapped so I am just wearing my softlips chapstick in Vanilla. As soon as my phone sends my other close up picture of my eye to my email to upload I will post it. Then you can really see what the eyes look like. I hope you enjoyed this post. Have a Uniquely Awesome Day. GOD BLESS.

Spring Forever 21 Must haves

So I was browsing through Forever 21 website and I couldnt help but notice there was so much stuff that caught my eye! No seeing that I am pregnant I have to watch what I buy because I dont know how long I will be able to wear anything. And personally I don't like Maternity Clothes lol. So the shorts and Skirt might be a problem to get but the tops I can work with! I am loving the first off the shoulder sweatshirt top. It is totally my style. As you can tell by the clothes I picked my style is kind of all over the place. I dont have one particular style. I like femanine and yet I like edgy. I love my black, whites and greys but I love bright florecent colors! Let me know what you guys like. I would love to hear or see them! Have a Uniquely Awesome Day. GOD BLESS!

Ring of the Day

I went to my sisters babyshower last weekend and this lady was there who sells homemade jewlery. My sisters Mother in law had previously bought this ring from her and as soon as I saw it and tried it on I had to have it! Unfortunatley the lady didnt have her jewlery with her so I put my order in! I got it yesterday at my nephews Birthday party. I ABSOLUTLEY LOVE IT! It was $10.00 and the band is stretchy so it will fit any finger comfortably. The roundness of the actual front fits nice too because the circle curves in to fit your finger so it is not sticking out and picking you or someone else. lol. I also puchased another ring yesterday which I will wear and post tomorrow. I love handmade homemade stuff, especially jewlery! Im a sucker for it. It's somehting I have always wanted to do for a hobby. Well I hope you enjoyed this short little post. Have a Uniquely Awesome day. GOD BLESS.

Baby Bump

So I am around 2 months and this is what the baby bump looks like already! Can  you believe that! I definitley cannot! When I was pregnant with my daughter I was this big at 6 months. But then again I only gained 15 pounds with her and I started off really skinny. This time though I was a little heavier than before so I think thats why I am showing so fast. I just hope and pray that I do not blow up the size of a house! My cheeks are already filling in. Oh man. lol. But my husband loves it! He loves to rub my stomach and lay down with me and wrap his arms around me and my stomach. Not to mention my daughter loves to kiss my stomach. When she was like 8 months and my sister was pregnant my daughter would kiss her stomach too. Its the cutest thing ever. Anyways I just wanted to post these pictures for those of you who requested the baby bump ;). I am at work righ tnow and was literally falling asleep so I decided to do this before I completely knocked out on my desk lol. Have a uniquely awesome day. GOD BLESS.

February Favorites


So March is here and it is now time for my February Favorites. First on my list is Softlips in Vanilla. I LOVE THIS STUFF! The vanilla just smells and "tastes" lol so good.
Then I have the Mary Kay Lip Mask. This stuff works wonders! You leave it on for a couple of minutes before whiping it off. This exfoliates your lips and takes off all the dead skin making them beautiful!
Then of course I have Palmers Cocoa Butter creams because you all know I am expecting. :) So this will be my best friend for the next year or so lol. But honestly I also use it on parts of my face that are extremely dry overnight and it is healing it quickly. I love this stuff. I have the jar at home which I use on my face and body and the tube in my purse which I use on my body Then I love NYX Narcissus lipstick and E.L.F Powder brush. It puts on the powder flawlessly. Well folks thats alll for me. I am out. Have a uniquely awesome day and GOD BLESS.

CRAVINGS!

Man I am barely pregnant and already have cravings! One week before I found out I was pregnant I already knew it because I was craving Chineese Fast Food and Yogurtland everyday for that one week. Then I have been craving and eating Yogurt every morning. I switch between Strawberry and Strawberry and Bannana. Today is Strawberry. I was at work yesterday and I picked up the phone, called my husband and told him, "I WANT BUFFALO WINGS FOR DINNER!!!" lol. He was like OK. I love my Husband! My mouth was drooling for some buffalo wings.
Everytime I see a pregnant women and I see them eating Chile I always tell them what my first Dr. told me, " Don't eat chile and spicey food because it can give your baby heartburn!" And now that I am pregnant it is mostly what I have been loving! lol. Ironic right! SHAME ON ME! I was sitting there eating buffalo wings last night and then when I was tired of the chicken I got my finger and dragged it on the bottom of the plate and licked all the buffalo sauce off. Hahaha I know I know. I even did that with TAPATIO and normally I don't like Tapatio but NOW I DO!
I think it is so crazy how your taste changes and you crave specific things. My first Pregnany I always craved Pizza with fresh lime juice squerted on top haha. I made my husband try it before and he practically almost threw up lol. I didn't get it because to me it was delicious!!! I even made all of his guy friends try it and they practically barfed too! lol. Well sorry for the randomness but I thought it was pretty interesting the way the whole cravings things works. So for those of you who are not mothers and will be one day, BEWARE OF THE CRAVINGS! lol. :)
Have a Uniquely Awesome day! GOD BLESS!

SUPRISE SUPRISE!!!!!

So I just couldn't wait to share this information with you guys. I have been holding it for a little over a week now because I wanted to wait till this past Friday. But on Friday I went to the Dr. and I am now about 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Yep that is right, I am going to be a mommy for the second time. It is so crazy thinking that I will be having another child but my husband and daughter are exstatic! My daughter cant hardly wait. She already tells me can we take the baby out now! lol. It is so cute. She can't wait to be a big sister. And my husband, well he has been wanting a second child and I didnt. I was done and fine with 1! But in order to make him and my daughter happy I decided to give it a try and if God wanted us to have another one he will provide it. It took me about 3 months to finally get pregnant. So Now, I can not only share my love of makeup and beauty with you guys but I can take you along with me on my journey of pregnancy. I was just excited to share the news with you guys and I hope you enjoy the ride with me :) Leave me some comments of stuff you want me to show or wirte about. Love ya! Have a uniquely awesome day! GOD BLESS.

Outfit of the Day


Today I came to work half casual half dressy. I was undecided if I actually wanted to get all ready for work so the first thing I threw on were my straight legged Purple Corduroy pants. Yeah I said PURPLE CORDUROY lol. Then I threw on my white tank top. After scrambling around for a little to find a top I found my see through white t-shirt with a built in black buttoned up vest over it. So I threw that on. Then I put my Black Blazer over it and folded it to right under my elbow. Threw on my black Guess high heels and then since i woke up late I threw my hair up into a clip literally in like 15 seconds lol. Added a bracelet, earings, necklace and was out the door. My makeup was done in the car. hahaha I added a light shimmery white color to my lid, basic medium brown to my crease and black in the outer corner and onto my lower lid. This my basic go to makeup whenever I am in a hurry or dont feel like doing anything different. I have Studio fix concealer on topped with studiofix powder. Pink blush, contouring, brown shadow for my eyebrows. NYC liquid eyeliner and covergirl mascara. I had lipliner and lipstick on but I had just got done eating and it whiped off. Hope you enjoyed. Have a Uniquely Awesome Day. GOD BLESS.
