My First Semester of My College Experience is OVER (Almost)

Hey everyone!! So I know that I've been super M.I.A. and I know I have no excuse, but I've been extremely busy with school! Time goes by so fast, so when we just finished the first month exams midterms were about to begin!
Now I'm in finals, and I've been really busy going every day since very early in the morning until very late in the night just to study for the exam that is approaching.
Thank you for understanding...

But what I've been more excited of this semester is that I've met a lot of wonderful people, and even though  we are not doing the same, we still are great and close friends. Many of my friends are studying completely different things and we still get along really well. My bff is studying to be an architect, a close friend of mine is studying communication and digital media, a couple of my friends are studying International Businesses, and my male bff (who lives far away right now) studies Mechanical Engineering and Electricity.

If you didn't know, in Mexico there are programs already made and you chose the one that goes better with your plans, for example I love makeup and I've always wanted to have my own makeup business, that's why I decided to study a career called "Chemical Engineering and Business Administration"; and what I love the most is that I have a class called "Introduction to Chemical Engineering and Business Administration" and I've found girls that also want to have their own makeup lines and we've been sharing ideas and plans.

What I'm trying to show you in this quick blog post is that I was afraid because I didn't feel ready to start this new journey that life has for me, but I took the risk and now I know i was ready and that I'm having the time of my life, even though I do feel really tired and stressed out, I know everything is totally worth it.

So, if you are feeling the same way as I do, please share your tips and tricks down in the comment section!!

Freshman Year, Here I Come!!

*WARNING*
GET READY TO READ THE MOST RANDOM THINGS, I'M TYPING WHAT COMES TO MY MIND WITHOUT AN SPECIFIC ORDER

Hey everyone!!
So I know this is off-topic, but I felt I needed to share this with you!

First of all, I'd like to explain how the school works here...

We normally do 3 years of kindergarten, 6 of elementary, 3 of junior high, and 3 of high school... So even though we do less years of high school, we still go from the 1st to the 12th grade)... Then you go to university, but you go directly to where you want to (law, medical, engineering, etc) and most of the colleges offer 9 semester programs, but some programs are 10 semesters (for example, in my school the Architecture program is 10 semesters long)...

With that being said.....


So, this year I'll be a freshman in college... I'll be studying Chemical Engineering and Business Administration, so I know the next 9 semesters everything will be hard...

Why I chose this?
I don't really know, I guess it was because I tried to do the opposite of what my parents told me I could do; please don't get me wrong, I don't always do the opposite, but I felt that what my parents wanted me to be wasn't what I felt like doing (they wanted me to do things that I could do in my house, like an accountant or something like that), bur I've always loved 3 things: beauty (duhh!), helping others, and science... I really enjoyed my physics, chemistry and calculus classes and I felt like those were the things that I wanted to do for living (now I have 2 dreamed jobs: working in a cosmetic company creating different products, and the other is working in a pharmaceutic company creating the best medicines)...

Why I'm nervous?
I'm going to a big school... I used to live in a small town and my school always had a small population, then when I got into high school I went to a "big" campus (that's what I thought), and the entire school population was of 400 people, then on my Senior year I was transfered to a new school where the population was bigger (about 1,000 people), but now I'm going to a school where students from all around the world come and the approximate population is of 16,000 people!! I feel like I'll get lost in such a big campus!
I'm also nervous because I know nothing will be similar to high school... People always told me that the best stage of their lives has been high school and until now this has been completely true! (So, if you are still in high school ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!!), I know many of my friends will still be around, but there are many others that are going to different schools or even in the same school but to a different section (like literature, or law school, medical school, etc)

I'm afraid that I won't be good enough for this, but I know that I have to give 300% of me to achieve my goals!

So, if you have tips for the freshman year, please share them here!!

Feeling Like Katy Perry?

Because today is FRIDAY! and T.G.I.F. I want to share this look with you!!

So, here is the video :D

May Favorites!!

Hey guys!!
So today I'll be doing this post because I'm just not in the mood to speak to a camera, hehehe...

So, this is my May Favorites!!

Hair:

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Care Daily Nourishment Leave-In Conditioner (Long name, huh... hahaha)

Credits

I loooove it because it makes my hair feel alive again!! I bought it to help with my hair extensions, but I began to use it in my hair in an everyday basis. It helps with the detangling process and the hair feels so clean and lightweight!! Gotta love it!!

Braided hair:

I love to braid my hair to keep my bangs out of the way and then take all of the hair into a bun. The weather here is sooo hot that I can't even stand it!! And what is great about this hairstyle is that it is super versatile! 

Makeup:

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup:

It is an amazing foundation!! Great coverage, dewy finish, inexpensive, there's nothing else I can say!

Great duo for everyday! These 2 colors are the perfect balance between sweet and wild.

Sedona Lace Contest Entry (:

Hey everyone!!

So I'm doing this post because I want to win a black set of the Sedona Lace 12 makeup brushes set.

These are the reasons of why I want to try these:
1) They look so elegant!! I prefer them black (I'm not a big fan of baby pink),  and I think these will be amazing when doing other people's makeup and having a professional look.

2) They are great quality. I've never used these cosmetic brushes BUT according to the many reviews I've watched and read these brushes are really comparable to really expensive brushes, and if they do the same job I think there is no acceptable reason for buying the expensive ones ;)

3) A good quality makeup brush is really important for getting a good quality makeup look, you could be using really expensive makeup, but if you are using the wrong tools the final look won't be nice.

I think these are three of the main reasons I have, but of course there are so many others!!

Thanks for reading, I really appreciate you took the time to do it!!

School Can't Handle Me!

Hey everyone!! This is a super quick post of an outfit I created yesterday....
This is something that I think is cute, comfortable and nice to wear to school...

Hope you guys like it!!



School Can't Handle Me! by cutemakeuplover featuring oversized watches

My Apologies...

Hey everyone!!! So, this post still has no title, so I'll type what I feel like telling and then I'll name it! hahaha
First of all: I MISS YOU SO MUCH!! Sorry I've been so gone, but with my classes and exams and class pictures I literally have no time!! (My sleeping time went from 7 hours to 4-5) That's how bad this is.
Some people might think that this is my fault because I chose to get into this school, knowing that this was going to be hard and tough, that this was going to bring a lot of stress and non-sleeping hours; but I'm really happy with my choices. I know that all these sacrifices (I've missed great parties, some time with my family) are going to be worth it.

Second of all: My brain is drying of ideas! That's why I need you to give me suggestions and ideas of what you want to see next! (ANSWER THIS SHORT SURVEY, PLEASE)

Hmm.. Now I don't know what to say!!
So if you want to be in touch, please follow me on Twitter (I can tweet from my phone, so I tweet sort of often!)

So, I think this is all.. at least for now!
I love you!!
XOXO CML

First of all: PARTIALS!
I hate them so much! They are sooo hard! like, I need to study waaay before the exam, and it is a 40 min long exam! wth?!?
I've been studying so much because this is my last high school semester and I don't want to fail any subject (:

The Weather!
I know this isn't and excuse but the weather has been sooo bad that I hate the lighting and I can't do any video ):, so now that the weather is better and because tomorrow I have no exams, I might do a quick valentines tutorial for you (yaaaay!)

This weekend I was on vacations....
Well it wasn't like VACATIONS, we just went to Mexico City for a weekend, so basically I did NOTHING! (Fail!)

So I think this is everything that has happened this days and I felt that I had to tell you what's going on!

I love you!!

XOXO, CML

UD Ammo Palette vs B.O.S. Vol 3 (Palettes reviews and comparison)

Which one do you prefer?? Ammo? Book of Shadows Vol. 3?? I'll show you the pros and cons that I've found in both palletes!!

The Ammo Shadow Box

$36 at Sephora and $39 at Ulta, but in Ulta it includes a full size Eden UDPP

Swatches:

Using normal UDPP as a base

Pros:

• Sleek packaging
• Variety of colors for natural and dramatic looks
• Smooth consistency
• Easy to apply and blend
• Nice sized mirror

Cons:

• 5 of the 10 shadows have giagantic glitter
• Some colors are really similar (if it has just a few shadows I think it will be better to have more variety of colors)

Overall Grade:

8 out of 10

PPS (Price Per Shadow): $3.60

I would purchase this again

UD <3 NYC or Book Of Shadows Vol. 3

$54 at Sephora

Swatches

Using UDPP as a base

Pros:

• Includes eyeliners and UDPP
• More variety of colors
• Cute packaging
• Great quality of shadows
• Awesome bright colors
• Smooth to apply
• Easy to blend

Cons:

• Huge, bulky packaging
• Not the ideal palette to use while traveling
• Tiny mirror

Overall grade

8 out of 10

Price Per Item: $2.86

I don't think I'll buy this again

Quick comparison:

• The Ammo palette is easier to take with you
• NYC gives you more shades to achieve many types of looks
• Some shades are in both palettes (Smog, Last Call, Maui Wowie)
• Both are perfect as a gift

So, here are my thoughts is both palettes... Hope this is helpful to all of you!!

XOXO

The Ammo Palette belongs to my sister and the NYC was a gift from my parents to us. I'm not affiliated with UD and my opinions are 100% honest.

Glee Series!

Hey Everyone!

So I just finished recording my first video of the Glee Series!! (YAAAAYY!!!) It's a Rachel Berry semi-wavy hair and a natural makeup...

So I'm converting my videos so I could get them to Movie Maker (I hate it! I want my MacBook back!) Guess I'll edit it later today and I might upload it also today! YAAAY!!

So I have 2 weeks free of doctors, so I'll try to do my best to get every look done asap; also, before I forget, when I finish uploading the video I'll do a blog post with other pictures and the things I used =)

Also, I'd like to thank Ana Wood (from Bee Royal Cosmetics) because she'll be sending me some products to review =)

Second of all:

I'm planning to do a TV Series Series (Like series of makeup based on a TV show), I'll be starting with Glee, and guess later I'll do The Secret Life of The American Teenager, idk...

Let me know what you think...

Now, getting into serious stuff...

-I am literally counting the days in which my baby nephew will born! yaaay!!

-I might sound nerdie, but I MISS SCHOOL! Well, I do not miss SCHOOL, but I miss the great time I had with my friends (which I miss A LOT!!), and I can't really visit them because: 1) I am visiting the doctors life twice a week, so I'm kinda busy and 2) We don't live close, I live like an hour away of any of their houses....
