Are You A BeneBabe? Benefit Beauty Cosmetics Makeup Tutorial and Giveaway!

Enter my giveaway! Ends July 2nd!


After a sweet surprise from Benefit Cosmetics in the mail, I received many requests asking to do a haul or an unboxing video. I think it would be a lot more fun to see a makeup tutorial using most of the goodies I got. This was kindly sent to me with no intensions of sponsorship or review for them. I did this video simply because it is one of my absolute favorite makeup brands and totally freaked out when I got this in the mail.

Some of the products I already own, love, and use daily. Since I received doubles I wanted to do a giveaway for you guys. I couldn't have come this far with my channel without your constant support and friendships. Here are the rules!

1. You have to be my subbie of course :D (Through my channel.)

2. Like this video. (Through my channel.)

3. Comment whatever you'd like! For example what's your favorite product from them and why, or why do you want to win this giveaway. It could be about the video, maybe it helped you.

Thank You Benefit Cosmetics!!!

I had the honor of meeting Carla from Benefit Cosmetics who very kindly sent me a sweet surprise in the mail. This is one of my top favorite makeup brands! They have an eminent reputation in the beauty world. When I feel like splurging at Sephora, I always make sure to stop by the Benefit counter. I literally screamed when I saw the cute box. Inside are some of the best sellers and new products as well.

The Hoola Bronzer and the Porefessional Face Primer have been on my wishlist for months now. I don't usually buy makeup unless I run out and need to replace it. I have been using them for the past two days and I can say I'm not disappointing through all of the hype. I can see why everyone loves them.

With the wet weather here in Chicago, I was also excited to see adorable branded umbrella.

Blingo | Bronze Have More Fun | Call My Buff

 I was also delighted to see the eyeshadows. Which by the way have adorable packaging and will not be disposing yet. I heard that the cream colors are very similar to the Color Tattos by Maybelline but don't tend to crease. I don't own any eyeshadows from Benefit, but I will make sure to tell you guys how I like them.

Hello Flawless Powder Foundation | Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Liquid Foundation

I have also been using these two foundations and have to say I am beyond impressed! The consistency of the liquid foundation is a bit watery but that just made it easier to blend. They give medium coverage.

Just came back from a long day at the vet and from grocery shopping. Ginger and my sister's new puppy Lola had a check up. I love my Sisi she is so much fun to hang out with. We also eat our addiction, frozen yogurt. My Fiance is going to love me, I stocked up on his favorites drinks in the fridge for whenever he comes over. 

Much love,

New Arm Candy

Chic Mint Bag

I was recently sent some of the prettiest pastel colored arm candy in the mail. I am highly impressed with the quality and how comfortable these bracelets are for the price they are. The gold makes them versatile and easy to wear with pretty much any outfit that has a touch of gold to it. I have been rocking mine everyday! I forget I have them on. Usually I find chain bracelets to be heavy on my wrist and take them off half way through the day.

Mikaylove Bracelets

Christianne is the owner and designer of these beautifully crafted Mikaylove bracelets. They come in a variety of colors and different sizes. Thought the clasp to close them can be tricky at least you don't have to worry about them falling off easily. It took me a while to put them on when I first got them, but after a couple of tries you can easily close the.  I like how true to size the width is because then you don't have to worry about them sliding up and down your arm.Thank you Christineanne I love them!

Loving Heart Bracelet

These beautiful bracelets are from one of my absolute favorite websites! When it comes to durable affordable jewelry it is my go to web page. They re-stock on new jewelry so often I check it at least once a day to find something new. I love now unique this bracelet is! I had to get them in two different colors. 

I love wearing a different combination everyday. I hope this post helped you fall in love with something new. I couldn't be happier with my choices. If you get any of them make sure to Tweet it to me or tag me on Instagram using the hash tag #BelindaSelene so we can be twinkies! I will be having giveaway on my channel pretty soon too ;) Stay tuned!

I took these pictures earlier before heading out to dinner with my lovely girlfriend Alex. She liked them a lot too. Future hubby looks tiered. I think I'll go cuddle next to him now. Talk to you guys soon!

Much Love,

California Keepsakes

 As some of you guys may have already known, this weekend I flew out to California for the first Ipsy Generation Beauty Event in Los Angles. It was one of the best weekends ever! I have been wanting to experience so many things out there that Chicago doesn't have. Ashley and I met up with our YouTube bestie Rhonda from DotLash who showed us around. It was unforgettable and special. Of course I wanted to bring back, along with these memories, keepsakes for not only myself but my family as well. 

  

We did a little shopping from stores that are not local like Brandy Melville and Cotton On from The Grove and Santa Monica.

  These are all from the Generation Beauty Event. Priceless....

 

From Hollywood I got a couple of shirts and a coffee mug for my Fiance who loves the Lakers.

Flew back with a couple of boxes of the famous Macarons from downtown LA's Bottega Louie. My Sisi Nydia requested these.

My luggage ended up being about 20lbs. heavier hee hee. I finally finished unpacking and wanted to share it with you, in case you go on vacation sometime soon and don't know what souvenirs to bring back. Time to shower and watch the rest of Season 3 of Pretty Little Liars. Stay tuned for more pictures from the Generation Beauty Event and our little adventure in Cali.

Much love,

A Little Glam

My business networking cards came in this week! I was very excited they came out pretty bright and clear. After designing the template for both the front and back I was afraid it wouldn't turn out as colorful and tasteful as I wanted. I was nervous after placing my order. You can design your own at VistaPrint. All I did was upload two images that I designed from another program. 

Today Ashley and I did a little last minute shopping for some necessities. I was on hunt for cute glamorous  business card holders since they wouldn't fit in my little LV wallet. I'm ready for Cali now! 

I'm finally home after a fun day of girl time. Ricardo and I are about to watch Pretty Little Liars. We are half way through season three. Hopefully we catch up before the new season starts.

Much love,

Belinda Selene

Meet Lola!

This eight week old puppy's name is Lola! We are all madly in love with her! My sister just adopted this sweet little baby less than 48 hours ago and she's already spoiled with love. I love how clumsy and bouncy little puppies can be. They have so much energy and then collapse on the floor anywhere to take a nap. Even though I am extremely allergic to dogs I couldn't help hugging her. 

My little peanut got along with her cousin yay! They are both the same size and color right now.

Ginger went along with us to find Lola's necessities. It was Ginger's first time at the groomers too. Which cost me a pretty penny. I usually do it myself, but this time I left it to the professionals. Ricardo was starting to call her chops ha ha! Hey I tried right?
