Beauty: easy/quick makeup

I know there are a lot of days we are like crazy people running everywhere and even sometimes super late, those days we can’t even take breaksfast ( even though this is a really bad thing to do) we have to somehow seem like we have just came from the red carpet to go to our jobs so today, here i have found a way to make a quick and really easy makeup. The way i find most quick and easy is to have a bold lip and a dewy skin.

For a holiday sophisticated lip: first of all clean and exfoliate your lips; i know this sounds like a lot of work, just past over a washcloth over your lips and that’s it. Then apply one coat of the lipstick directly from the tube. it gives it a not so polish but really good looking to the color. Then apply to the center of the lips a little bit of non colored lip balm for a little bit of shine. And for the rest of the face just fill the brows and apply a couple of coats of mascara. ( remember with a bold lip, keep the rest of the face super simple)

A romantic look: For this look just keep everything soft with a hint of shine. i suggest to apply a little bit of cream eye shadow in colors like soft pink or maybe soft purple ( purple fits every skin tone and eye color) or maybe if you are not feeling to bold use a soft gray to the center of the lids. For the rest of the face just apply a little bit of mascara and a pinky nude-ish lip tone.

For those really wild ones, The dramatic look: apply one coat of a metallic pencil to the upper lash and create a line a little bit thick. and for the rest of the face just apply some blush and a nude lip color.

                                   

For a natural look ( doesn't mean to look like a zombie): when you are looking for a foundation look for the one that says luminous. oh and not forgetting always keep your face clean and exfoliated this would make a difference in any makeup look. this use a cream blush but before applying it put a little of the product in between your hands and swirl a little bit just to warm it up a little bit after this just apply it to the apple of your cheeks. For a final touch put some highlighter on top of the cheek bones.

                                              

Daily post: Speak up if you need to

Today i was talking with a friend about how i felt about i think one year and a half ago. I have notice that a lot of people are not comfortable taking about this topic but i have learned that it’s important because if one person start to talk about it another will find the courage to do it too, and by this way it will help others to speak out about it and maybe get help.

My story is something like this. i had just finished school and i was sure that i wanted to take a year off to relax. I wanted to travel, go camping see the sunrise, go out with friend among other things. This actually never happen. for different reasons i couldn’t travel, my friends were studying and didn’t have time to hang out so i was left alone, the first 6 months i was okay like yeah i didn’t care, but time started to pass and i started to feel bad, i didn’t want to go out of my house first, then i didn’t want to go out of my own bedroom it was like i was dying inside, also because i didn’t move. and the only thing that i did per day was eat sleep eat sleep eat and sleep so logically i started to gain weight, this brought me down even more and i knew i was depressed i knew it but at the same time i didn’t want to get help. Fast forward to six moths after, and i was lucky enough to find a anchor this is something i made to try to rise again, my little sister is my anchor i decided that i need to find something i want to fight for and like i said it’s my sister. I obviously never have tell this cause it’s something i saved it to myself. But she help me a lot. And when i name her as my anchor i decided to speak out and look for help i knew i need it right away. After that i started to get better i know i’m not cure for ever i know that but at least I feel that way, but i can overcame the problems. There will always be good and bad days, some days you feel like you only want to cry but you don’t know what the next day would bring you it can be the most beautiful and exiting thing you have ever experience.

So I’m telling you i’m encouraging you to speak up if you feel like you need it. Today i was talking with a friend and she told me something that broke my heart, she felt that she needed help but was afraid of how his/her parents but react about it. But let me tell you again that it’s better to try and fix the problem when you notice it than after it had cause all the damage and its irreparable. Another concern was that she didn’t want to make them sad, but its better that they know from the start than after something bad happen and they would regret not noticing you were bad.

Speak about it if you feel you need it, and you would see you are not alone there are a lot of people like us.

Daily post: Flip that tortilla

Do you feel the same comfort ahead than behind the scenes?

This is an easy question to answer, I feel more comfortable talking through the internet. I can assure that this is a common thing, cause theres a feeling of freedom in a way that you can say whatever you want without anybody telling you to shut up, or that we are wrong.

This is a topic that can be taken both ways cause if we search the internet we can run into good people and also bad people, this is how i describe it. There are people that just say what they want to say and not hurting anybody just giving their point of view about any subject, and in the other hand we have the ones we call cyberbullies, they are bad people that only spend their time making the others feel bad about yourself and because they are doing it via the internet they can be shown by anonimuous avatars, so they don’t show their faces nor names.

I consider myself like a good one because I’m only using this way of connection to the world to speak up and say whatever is on my mind any day, not trying and seeking for people to hurt them in any way, just talking about different subjects from my point of view. And why do I feel more comfortable? because I know i’m a really shy person and just like a lot out here are afraid of being judge by another one when you are talking face to face or that feeling of awkward silence in a conversation, I really hate that. So I use this platform to say what’s on my mind, not expecting any comments but if you have one i would be more than happy to receive it.

Daily post: blog?

Unique experience. What made you wanna write on this blog?

Well actually it all started when I decided that I wanted to get psychologically better, I have already talk about what i have gone throughout in the past so if you wanna know go to the post Speak if you need to 

https://dearfashionandlife.wordpress.com/2015/06/23/opinion-speak-up-if-you-need-to/

So in that time, i thought that my safe place was the internet and also it had all the answer for my problems, but instead of looking for help of professionals when i didn’t told anybody what i was going through i actually rediscovered youtube. Before i only used it to listen to music and no more, but as i was going through it looking for answer for my problem or how i was feeling i reached to a lot of youtubers that where facing a lot of similar things as i was, so it made me realize that i was not the only one in this fight, and that i was not crazy, they say that if you think about something a lot and it’s always on your mind you will find that thing a lot more in your everyday life, and that’s what happened to me, i started to find a lot more people that suffer from the same, not only the people that uploaded their video but also a whole community that where there leaving comments in those videos.

After seeing those video and comments i realize that if they making those videos where helping millions, maybe if i start to talk about this issue with people i can make someone really see how important they are and that this is not something to be ashamed of, no at all this is something that need to be treated, and that the people that suffer from it need to talk about it. 

I started to be open with my family and closed friends about what i had been through, i started to follow organizations and reading a lot more about it, but what truly made an impact in me where those little videos where you really can see what a person went through and their whole feelings, and maybe you are thinking but how you see that? well i saw it in their eyes in how  they speak in their movements. Sometimes i know that if we don’t have or suffer from something we don’t truly know how it actually feels, but seeing them was like wow. and because of that, i thought that well if i’m not still brave enough to share my story in a video i should write my thoughts it may not help millions of people but even if it makes just one person it will be such a wonderful thing that i couldn’t feel better.  

There is something that happened that made me actually brave enough to start to write in a public space. as there are apps like Facebook, twitter, tumblr, where you share things phrases and photographs, I found apps where you can talk to people that maybe are also feeling bad, sad, and feeling like they can’t do it no more. And as i was talking to a girl she told me exactly that she couldn’t do it, she was sick of everything and i actually told her my story and told her that maybe it wasn’t as bad as what was going on with her but there’s a solution she actually listen to me and told me weeks after that what i told her make a click a change something in her mind and it made her wanted to talk with her mom about how she was feeling and she told me that i helped that i saved her life. i actually don’t think i saved her life but maybe hearing my story what i had to say in that certain moment and place was what made her see that it’s worth fitting for something and that there is something good after all. So this is why i started my blog.
