Life Update!

Hi everyone! So I wanted to tune in and just explain why I've been MIA. I've had a busy schedule and now to add to my plate I've become a Zumba instructor! I have been  a Zumba student for 4 years and I absolutely loved it! I have started giving a class here at a local studio this week and so for the last two I had to put a routine together for the first day of class. I usually pre-record with a week in advance but since I've been working on my class I didn't have any videos for this week. So I will record a few ideas I have in mind this weekend so I can get back on track! Thanks for your patience!

Milani conceal + perfect 2-in-1 foundation| Review and Demo

So this foundation is actually amazing! I was wanting to try a new foundation and I am always looking for full coverage. I have a lot of acne scars and I still get horrible breakouts ): What drew me to this foundation was the packaging tbh. then I started seeing it all over Instagram so then I knew I had to try it out!

It is great coverage but also buildable to get that extra coverage you want! I seriously oved this and the wear time was amazing I got ready at 2 in the afternoon and wore it all day until after 11 at night. it help up pretty well. I seriously recommend wearing with primer as this help foundation stay on anyways. I used Nivea Mens post shave balm. I don't know exactly how well the foundation holds up on its own with out primer. I give this 2 thumbs up!

GRWM| Full Glam

This look was done for the day of nieces Quincenera. I needed a full coverage GLAM look that would last me all day so naturally I caked that face on! I loved this awesome look.

For my eyes I used the Smashbox Double Exposure and used a shadow that when wet turns metallic but I wanted a little extra shine on my lid so I used a glitter from Wet n Wild Check out my video on YouTube!

Neutral Eye with a Pop of Teal

 I've seen this look a lot and I wanted to recreate it. I rarely use any color when it comes to my eye makeup. I try and stick to the pinks and red tones and stay away from the blues and greens but I have to say adding a little bit of color to the look made appreciate the louder colors. Although this is a darker shade of teal I really liked the pop of color. I don't usually venture out into the realm of brighter color on my eyelids but this was a look that really caught my eye cause it was a subtle way to add something special and different from what I usually do.

I will list the products I used here...

Face:
-Elf bb cream and Tarte Amazon Clay mixed together
-NYX HD Concealer
-NYX Wonder Stick
-Wet n Wild Contour Palette
-Elf Blush in Peachy Keen
-Becca Champagne Pop
-Becca Pearl on nose

Brows:
-Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip brow Pomade in Dark Brown
-Mary Kay Eyebrow Gel

Eyes:
-Elf Eyelid Primer
-Elf Eyeshadow Palette in Golden Goddess
-Urban Decay Naked Basics
-Jafra Eyeshadow Palette in Aqua Tesoro
-Jafra Liquid Eyeliner
-Maybelline Lots of Lashes Mascara
-L'Oréal Voluminous Mascara

Everyday Make Up For Hooded Eyes

I know that for a lot of people with hooded eyes it is hard to wear eye shadow. I know, because I have hooded eyes.. and NO it is not a bad thing, but when you wear eye make up on an everyday basis it can be a little troubling to spend so much time on your eyes and no one see it unless you close your eyes or you are looking down. At least that was my issue. For me it took a lot of trial and error on figuring out what looked best on me so I would just love to share my technique on applying a look you can wear on an everyday basis.

This technique can be used with any colors but I am creating a soft everyday look. What I use is the Naked Basics Palette and only used 4 the shades. Before Applying the eye shadow I used a primer to ensure I would not have any creasing and a long lasting finish. After applying the shadow I winged out my eye liner and applied a coat of mascara.

Now the first thing I did after applying the primer was pick up the shade(1) "Naked 2" and applying that all along the crease to use as our transition color using a dense blending brush.
Next I applied the shade(2) "Faint" with a small smudge brush only using the tip for precise application. When applying I look forward and apply the product right above my actual crease. Once I have mapped out where I am going to "create" the illusion of a new crease I blend that out. 
Then I take the shade(3) "W.O.S" and apply that on the center of the lid and blend out using an angled blending brush. Finally I use the same brush and apply the shade(4) "Venus" on my  brow bone. Now that I have the product in place I use my fluffy blending brush and blend everything together.






Now my look is complete! I love this for an everyday eye look. It is very soft and you can quickly turn it into a night look by adding the black shade "Crave"  to the outer corner of the eyes and making a sexy smokey eye. This look is great for people with hooded eyes because we are creating an illusion of a higher crease with this technique. That way our makeup doesn't get hidden by the crease in our eye.

    

 

 

This is the final look! Thank you so much for your time and I hope you have learned something new (: Make sure to follow me on instagram @_oohmydarlin

I have provided a video to further show my technique! Make sure you thumbs this video, comment and subscribe! My very first video.. how exciting! lol



Grilled Chees Special

So I always try to find ways to make something regular into something ~SPECIAL~ I've been making this dish for a couple of years now and my husband and daughter love it! It is a flavorful  twist on your typical grilled cheese sandwich, and I would love to share it with you.

 You will need:
         - One pack of chicken tenderloins
         - Turkey bacon (or regular bacon of your choice)
         - Pepperoni
         - 8 oz. block of mozzarella cheese (or sliced if preferred)
         - Texas toast
         -1/4 Cup Butter
         - 1tbs. Lawry seasoned salt

This will make enough for about 6-7 sandwiches depending on how many tenderloins come in the pack. I usually use one tenderloin per sandwich.

First preheat my oven to 375*F. Then I melt about 1/4th cup of butter in the microwave and add one tablespoon of Lawry Seasoned Salt. Once the butter is all melted and combined with the seasoned salt, I add my chicken and let it marinade while my oven finishes preheating. Next I took my bacon and cut it in half, like so

I then made this little square with the bacon in order for it to fit neatly onto the sandwich. and wrapped it up in foil so that I can cook it in the oven with no mess!

 

Once the oven is ready I put my chicken and bacon to cook. Chicken I will cook for 20 min and the turkey bacon I will leave for 30 min. Also Keep in mind that regular bacon might not fully cook with these directions. While that is cooking, I take my 8 oz. block of mozzarella cheese and begin making thin slices. Once that is done I will preheat my Presto Griddle to 350* F. You may also use any other nonstick pan on a stovetop and cook on medium to high heat.

 

Once the chicken is done remove from oven, cut into 4ths and begin to make your grilled cheese. Butter both sides of your Texas toast and place on griddle for a couple of minutes till toasty and flip then add your cheese slices to fully cover the bread, then peperoni about 5 pieces, followed by your chicken and topped of with your bacon. While you are creating you beautifully delicious grilled cheese, make sure you are also letting the other slice of bread fully cook on one side, so when you top your sandwich off you can flip it and cook the other side of that slice... Makes sense? okay!

 

Once you are done you should have something that looks a little like this...

 



If you make this dish I would love to know your thoughts! So please leave comments down below.
