"Hunted" by Meagan Spooner Review (Spoiler Free)

Hello mis preciosuras!


Hope everyone is ha having an amazing start to their June! Sorry I've been out for a hot minute but I am going to try an be consistant on here.

I've been getting into reading and I've actually started a book tube not too long ago called "Ohhileo Books" right now I haven't really had a chance to upload any reviews or TBR just yet BUT I'm still working on it and messing with the video editor. ANNNNNNNYWAY! with that being said I have started to pick up reading and pretty much fall back in love with it, recently I had a free credit from Audible and I ended up getting Meagan Spooner's Haunted.


So


(Full disclaimer the spelling of the names might be butchered)
Breif Synopses':

Hunted is a way way different re-taling of Beauty and the Beast, when I first read it I felt it was a mix of that along with a side of Hunger Games but just in the beginning and after that you don't really see the resembelance anymore. The sorry tells about a girl name Yeva who is the youngest for 3 daughters and her father Tercko is this rich man who has been doing well for years...until he loses everything.

Then they move to their old hunting cabin and basically starts back up from zero however he is never heard of again. Ao of course Yeva being the restless young woman that she is (she also reminds me of  Mulan & Merida) she goes and looks for him...that is until she notices something big and bad HUNTING her.


My Review:


right...so lets get started.

I loved the start of how this novel started because as I mentioned before, the writing reminded me a weeeee bit of the hunger games and it was exciting when I first started to listen to it, until after Yeva being captured and after that it kinda got slow, and majority of the book stands in a stand still after Yeva's dad goes missing.

Now I know what you are thinking....but Bri, you gotta remember it's a book...and yes I know it's a book but throw a little bit of excitement here and there.

Now if you absolutely loved it, than that's cool! I don't blame you it's a pretty good book, I just thought the middle and a good portion of the book was lagging and a bit slow. Have you read this book? let me know what you think about it.

Too Faced Peanut Butter & Honey Pallet Review

Hello my lovelies!

Happy Monday! sending you all beautiful colorful vibes today. So a couple of weeks ago I purchased Too Faced "Peanut Butter & Honey" eye shadow pallet and I remember seeing the colors and being so excited for get it and smell it and wear it as well as blending the wonderful colors.



However.....it wasn't what I expected and I was actually so disappointed that the colors did not blend well at all and they faded so quickly, especially the yellow shade. It lasted mostly 1-2 hours and then it faded away. (sorry I don't have any pictures or before or after pics or swatches . and the application itself was difficult and clumpy to apply and don't get me wrong I love all of Too Faced products; however I feel like the eye shadows don't have a strong pigment formula but that's just my opinion.

I'd thought I'd give you what my little review and my opinion of this product. If you got it as well, let me know what you think about it! :)

☆ February Favorites ☆

Hello my beautiful lovelies!

Happy Thursday! and I hope your day is going fantastic!  It's finally March and it's crazy how fast time is going by I mean next thing you know it will be Thanksgiving time all over again.

With February come and gone I figured I would do my first favorites of the past month and as well do a least favorites for the month of February and will probably be up for Friday as well as a Review of Makeup Revolution's Luxe lip kit, Mermaids Forever & Unicorns Unite eye shadow pallet.

For last month most of my favorite products were pretty much body and hair products:

-Pixi Skintreats "Hydrating Milky Mist"
-Not your mothers Plump for joy" Hair lifter"
-Not your mothers "whip it up colonizing styling mousse"
-Smashbox 24 hr eyeshadow primer
-Lush's Wiccy Magic Muscles


So let me start with the primer, if you have very unreasonably crazy oily eyelids like yours truly....then please please get this primer! usually when I don't feel like wearing eyeshadow or liner I dab a tiny bit of this on each lid and I have perfectly matte lids for the rest of the day. And when I do have liner or eyeshadow on my shadows don't crease, they don't pool up or "wash" away with the oily.
So for Smashbox's 24 hr eyeshadow primer I give it a 
๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„ out of ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„


NOT YOUR MOTHERS Products:

I literally used Not your mothers Whip it up volumizing mousse & Plump for joy  hair lifter almost every other day. Whip it up smells like cinnamon toast crunch and really you don't have to use much product, so it can actually last you a lot longer than what you would expect. As for Plump for Joy It didn't really plump my hair at all It gave very little volume, then again it's very hard for volumizing items to give my hair that "umff" so it might be my hair.

So for Whip it up Mousse I give it
๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„ out of๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„

Plump for Joy:

Pixi Skintreats Hydrating Milky Mist:

Theres no other way to put this....THIS STUFF IS AMAZEBALLS!


After washing and toning your face, you just either add 2 or 3 sprays all over your face let it dry or use a gauze pad and then bam and boom your face stays freaking smooth!....just trust me on this haha.

๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„ out of๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„ thousand Unicorns :P

Lush's Wiccy Magic Muscles:

Oh Lush.....just take all my money....Just do it already


to their bath bombs to their shower jellies....you can't really go wrong with Lush ๐Ÿ’– . I got their massage bar back in December as a Christmas gift from Michael and this is suppose to help with any achy muscles you might have and it's seriously the best thing ever! usually after an intense workout I use it and hoot mama it is a life saver I feel so relaxed. The smell of cinnamon spices is just amazing!

Simple Pink/Purple Unicorn Eye Makeup

Hello my colorful lovelies!


Happy Saturday! Hope everyone is having a great day so far. Last week I completely forgot that I ordered two pallets from Ulta and they came in yesterday which was a complete surprise for me...and come on we both know when you order something and totally forget about it, it's a very pleasant surprise you receive it.


I purchased the Mermaids Forever Pallet and the "Unicorns Unite" pallet, mainly because the boxes were so beautiful and I am someone who LOVE pretty holographic color and anything bright. So these Pallets are from Make-Up Revolution at Ulta and I had heard good reviews on them so for a good price it's pretty good and not to mention the colors are GORGEOUS!


Since I have horrible lighting in my bedroom as well as my whole house ( There is good lighting in some spots of my house...not all of them -___- ) so I wasn't able to do any swatches but I will do that sometime tomorrow. BUT anyways..I thought I'd try to do simple unicorn look...it kinda went pinkish/purpleish look! but hey! it still looked magical.....at least I think it did :P


Come on...it wouldn't be the same without NPH 

I used the following items on mah face!

Primer (face): Rainforest of the Sea mist
Primer(eyes) Smashbox 24 hr coverage
Eyes: Makeup Revolution "Unicorns Unite" pallet
Lashes: Benefit "They're Real" 
Lips: Milani "Automattic Touch"
Face: NYX Matte but not Flat in Olive.

with the final result being.......


Unicorn Sparkle Princess ๐Ÿ‘‘



Hope you guys liked this post, I'm still trying to learn on how to apply eye make up so bare with me ^_^

Stay Humble & Colorful!

Let's See Where These 60 Days Take Me...

Hello my lovely Colorful fantastic friends!

Happy Wednesday! Hope everyone’s day is going fantastic and awesome! So there is a bit of an update with me, on Monday I started to do a new intense challenge that comes with (additional though) Gastrointestinal clean up system called “Gut.Fix” along with Lifetime’s 60 day challenge.

However that will not be the case for me this year, I’ve started my second challenge round at lifetime fitness (60 Day Challenge) and I’m actually fully sticking to it. Okay let me just say when I first joined LT I automatically got entered in their 60 Day Challenge and I was doing pretty good….UNTIL I got the stomach virus for about a week and half and I couldn’t jump back in it again. Trust me, I tried to get back in the game but my stomach was just not having it.

So here I am again, back at square one…..but two pounds lighter so yay!!!


So with this 30 day program it really really but I mean REALLY resets your habits to square one, with a very strict meal plan meaning on Monday I went grocery shopping and to a better health style. It's definitely change but I am so up for it and I can't wait to see where it takes me. 

Are you working on anything to make a healthier you or have you switched your eating habits?

Stay humble & colorful!

♡ 2017..0 Resolutions But Plenty Of Improvments♡

Hello my beautiful mermaids!

I know it’s been a hot minute since I’ve written on here and I kinda forgot to come back here (oops!)
Anywho we are 23 days into 2017 and a bunch of stuff has happened and I’m not going to go into detail because I’m sure everyone is very well aware.

There are reasons why I don’t do resolutions anymore and that’s because just like everyone else I break them, granted NOT everyone breaks them…in fact I give those who stick with their resolutions throughout the whole year. The older I get the more I realize that resolutions are not really doing it for me because if you think about it, you are more prone to break that resolution if it’s the same one you’ve promised to do every single year.



So here I am at 29 years and started a new year thinking to myself “Do I really want to make New Year resolutions? Should I even bother? I mean come on Bri…we all know what’s going to happen a month from now….you gonna forget! But the more I thought about it the more I thought about what I would love to improve versus actually making a resolution.


So for 2017 I have made a list of what I would love to improve in so here goes!

*Keep eating my veggies (I’m currently trying to lose weight so trying to eat more greens)
* Prep my food for either the following day or week. Reason is because I’ve noticed myself actually spending money I do not need to be spending and not actually eating the food I bought to cook for my weeks at work.
*Also…actually making the time to cook, I do make some time but I feel like I can improve not only my cooking skills but also make an effort. ESPECIALLY if I want to better my eating habits.
*Clean my damn car and room…Michael likes to call me a hurricane, not because I’m a wild free spirit but because I make a mess in any room or open area I touch…..I’ve learn to accept this
*Actually work on and improve on make-up and my craft ideas. Funny story I use to be so invested in my small business that I was actually making some cash on the side while I was unemployed, wasn’t a lot of money but enough if I wanted to treat myself to a coffee or a meal at Chuy’s. In reality working so far from home and driving in what is the never ending Austin traffic is so freaking exhausted.


Stay Mer-mazing!
