So Have You Watched Project Runway? This Is The Cosplay, Geek Loving Version!

I'm a big fan of cosplay and have been cosplaying for a few years now. I even wrote an article about how much I love going to Comic Con and dressing up as characters I like from Dc Comics, Marvel Comics, Video games & more. I'm also a big fan of the DIY (Do It Youself) community. For this reason I'm super excited about Syfy's 'Cosplay Melee' Competition series. I think cosplay has affected peoples lives in a magnificent way and broken plenty of people out of bubbles. It's such a supportive, fun, positive, community in my experience.

Hello Nubians,

"May Your Feet Take You Where Your Heart Wants To Go..."


As some of you may know, I'm currently living in Las Vegas and I'll be the first to tell you that the desert can take a toll on your feet. Foot Care is so important! One of my pet peeves is seeing a gorgeous woman with unkempt feet. It's terribly unladylike. With that being said I know keeping up with foot care can be difficult and we may not always have the time or the funds to get a weekly pedicure, I know I don't. This might be something The Amopé Pedi Perfect & the Amopé Pedi Perfect™ Electronic Nail Care System can help you with. I'll explain more in just a bit.


I do all sorts of things that tend to make my feet rough. I work out often which can cause roughness, blisters and more. I tend to walk barefoot at home, on the grass, and occasionally even on pavement. Usually I just try to lotion my feet up and keep them moisturized but it still doesn't seem to be enough. Lately I have found 2 great tools that not only keeps your feet soft and beautiful, but they also save you so much time and headaches.


I've been using The Amopé Pedi Perfect™ electronic foot and nail files. Mostly I have been using the Amopé Pedi Perfect™ electronic foot file.  At first I was a bit scared because I thought maybe I would cut or hurt myself but not at all! The Amopé Pedi Perfect foot file gently buffs away your thick hard skin and leaves it baby soft. I felt such a huge difference when I started using it. It's a great addition for your pedicure kit at home. It might just be your favorite new item. You can also get a extra coarse roller head with diamond crystals that spins 360 degrees for quick results on thick, calloused skin... fancy!

Amopé Pedi Perfect™ Electronic Nail File is amazingly useful too. The kit includes 3 different insert heads you can attach to file, buff, and shine nails effortlessly. My favorite part about it? It's so freaken fast! Usually filing my nails is a pain and time consuming but the electronic feature makes it so easy.

I am enjoying these tools so, so much! They have left my feet and hands looking beautiful. I'm very happy with them.

Now I have good news for you! I picked up both of these from CVS with this coupon and it's still valid! You can take $15 dollars off each product. It's a great deal and they products are worth it.




If my review has given you any doubts, I did my research and others rave about these too.


How have you been taking care of your feet or roughness on your skin this Summer? Have you tried the Amope Pedi Perfect system? Let me know if you have any questions about it and don't forget you can save with this coupon!

Cheers!

Hello Nubians, 

"I love the feeling of the fresh air on my face and the wind blowing through my hair."  -Evel Knievel


Today on the blog I wanted to make a quick and simple video tutorial. A lot of times we want a minimal yet beautiful hairstyle and our mind draws a blank. I started out with straight hair and ended up with this look in just a few minutes. Gorgeous waves and a fishtail braid on each side holding my hair slightly back. I think it's a classic hairstyle almost anyone can put together. 


What You'll Need.
*Small hair rubberbands.
*Bobby  pins
*A straightening iron. ( I used my Amika one)
*Hair spray. (I used TRESemmé extra hold hairspray)


Watch my YouTube video tutorial below and make sure to thumbs up and subscribe to my channel HERE to see more fun tutorials and vlogs coming soon. 




I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and it was easy to follow. Cheers my pretties!

Cheers!

Hello Nubians,

What Are You Going To Be For Halloween?



I know what I'm doing! But it's still a secret, SHHhhHHHhhHh. Spending anywhere from 60-200 dollars on a Halloween costume seems like something from the past and silly for something you wear once a year. I think most people are going way more for the Do It Yourself approach lately and honestly, it's much cooler and fun sometimes.

Beauty and fashion bloggers always give great tips, especially with makeup. YouTube is the place to go look! Some of these ladies are absolutely Ah-MAZ-ing. I've seen some insanely scary and gory looking stuff out there. Below please check out my top 5 favorite Halloween makeup looks I think are fabulous (In no particular order). It's hard to pick because there are so many to choose from!


1) Creepy Broken Doll Tutorial: Halloween 2015 | Dulce Candy. 
OMGoshhh. Scary right from the intro. Something about old porcelain dolls is extremely creepy. Dulce did a great job.




2) Pop Art / Cartoon Zombie by Nicole Guerriero. 
This pop art zombie is a little lighter than some of the looks I've featured here in terms of Gore, but the pop art makes it tons of fun and still pretty scary. It looks like something out of a colorful graphic novel. Nicole did a fantastic job. Make sure to check out her other Halloween videos too!




3) Zombie Princess Peach Halloween Makeup SFX Tutorial | Jordan Hanz / Alex Faction.
My never ending love for Nintendo's Super Mario Bros made me love this Zombie Princess Peach. A job very well done and extremely easy to follow.




4) Trippy Double Vision Makeup Look by dope2111.
This one gave me goosebumps and also made me a bit dizzy at first haha. Very original and cool. Another great job.



5) Harvey Dent // Two Face Special FX Makeup Tutorial ♡ Batman Series by Bonnie Corban SFX.
I LOVE DC comics and Batman. Seeing this Harvey Dent/Two Face tutorial made me sOoOoOo happy. I already have my costume for this year planned out but I might have to try this next year. So cool.




There you have it kiddies! My top five favorite Halloween makeup looks via YouTube. Give all of these talented ladies a follow and check out some of there other stuff. I hope if you don't have a costume planned out yet you give one of these a try. Let me know if you do.


Cheers!

Hey Nubians,


It's Mani Monday!


Last night after a bit of Spring Cleaning I decided to give myself a manicure and pedicure. My nails were fairly long but of course one of them just had to break so I cut them all... Don't you just hate that!? Anyway, I cut my nails really short and kind of improvised a few lines to make a fun little design. I decided to DIY my manicure instead of going to the salon. I actually do this pretty often to try to improve my skills. It also doesn't hurt to save a few bucks along the way/ 

For my base color I used Sally Hansen Velvet 640 Velour. It's a nice matte purple color. I proceeded but using LA. Colors Art Deco wands in white and silver glitter to make some lines off the top of my head and make the manicure more fun. I sealed the manicure with Sally Hansen's Gel Shine 3D Top Coat. 

Ayer por la noche después de un poco de limpieza de primavera decidí darme un manicure y pedicure. Mis uñas eran bastante largas, pero por supuesto uno de ellas tenía que romperse y tuve que cortarlas todas... ¿No lo odias? De todos modos, corte mis uñas muy cortas y de improvisaron unas líneas para hacer un divertido diseño de pequeño.

Para mi color base usé Sally Hansen Velvet 640 velour. Es un bonito color morado mate. Procedí usando LA. Colores Art Decó varitas en brillo blanco y plata para hacer algunas líneas de la parte superior de la cabeza y hacer el manicure más divertido. Sellé la manicura con Gel brillo 3D Top Coat de Sally Hansen.



Hope you enjoyed the manicure! I'm going to try my best to do some weekly mani fun once a week or every other week. 

Espero que hayan disfrutado la manicura! Voy a intentar mi mejor esfuerzo para hacer diversión mani semanal o cada dos semanas.

Hey Nubians,

I wanted to share a video with you that I just uploaded on YouTube about dry skin problems and the dry skin remedies I use on my own skin.

I will be sharing the best skin care products that work for me. Keeping your skin moisturized during the Spring and Summer is SooOoOOooOOO very important. It's important that you look into the right skin care cream and skin care products in general. It is so key especially in young women's lives. Very dry skin can often make you feel like you have a clay mask on your skin or your skin is cracking... nobody wants that!

From Coconut Oil, To Avon ANEW products, To a Vicks humidifier and more, I will be sharing some of my secrets. Moving to Las Vegas from New York City was absolutely a reality check for my skin being that it's so dry in Vegas. Watch the video below and figure out what dry skin products may work for you!

Quería compartir un video que acabo de subir en YouTube acerca de los problemas de piel seca y los remedios piel seca que utilizo en mi propia piel.

Estare compartiendo los mejores productos de cuidado de la piel que trabajan para mí. Mantener la piel hidratada durante la primavera y el verano es MUY importante. Es importante que investigue la crema del cuidado de la piel bien y productos para el cuidado de la piel en general. Es tan clave sobre todo en la vida de las mujeres jóvenes. Piel muy seca a menudo puede hacerte sentir que tienes una máscara de arcilla en la piel o la piel se agrieta... nadie quiere eso!

De aceite de coco, productos ANEW de Avon, Vicks humidificador y mucho más, voy a compartir algunos de mis secretos. Mudarme a Las Vegas desde Nueva York fue absolutamente una prueba de realidad para mi piel porque es tan seco en las Vegas. Mire el video abajo y averigue qué productos para la piel seca pueden trabajar para usted!




Remember to stop by my YouTube HERE and peep all the post I've been putting up lately.

Tengan un bello fin de semana mis queridos amigos. Recuerden pasar por mi pagina de YouTube AQUI para ver todos los videos que recién tome.
