My Beauty Smoothie

Hey loves,

So I get a lot of emails from you girls asking me advice on why your hair isn't growing, or maybe your skin isn't looking it's best.  Many of you tell me that you've tried everything, but then when I ask you about your diet, a lot of times I don't hear back from you, or you tell me that you don't eat so great. I'm here to tell you that yes, there are some people who are just lucky. They are born with fabulous hair and skin. (My siblings are examples of that.) But some people (like myself) have to work on it. I don't eat great. Matter of fact I was eating a left over oxtail just a few minutes ago. But, I always try to make a smoothie in the morning that's loaded with vitamins and minerals because the truth is hair and skin health do start from within. I notice the difference when I drink the smoothie: my nails become stronger,  skin looks more radiant,  and hair growth.  My manicurist always cuts my nails way too short every single time (I can't stop going to her though because she gives amazing hand massages-best I've ever had). But I never go crazy with her cutting my nails anyway because seriously my nails grow insanely quick-when I'm drinking the smoothie. When I'm not, I notice my nails are brittle, and aren't as strong.  Anyway, here's my morning smoothie.

1) Blender-I don't believe you need to spend gazillions on a blender. Mine was $50.00 and does everything I need it to do. Right now it's on sale for $29.99
2) Coconut water-I love Harmless Harvest Coconut Water. I used to drink Zico, but Harmless Harvest is s much better and it alone contains like 2 grams of protein with way less sugar. 

3) Kale-According to Whole Foods Kale, is the most nutritious green you can buy. It is loaded with vitamins and minerals.
4) Spinach, Spinach is right after Kale in nutrition

Now if I just ate these things alone, I would never want to drink my smoothie because it would taste horrible. But, the secret to wanting to drink your smoothie is making it taste good.  I always throw in:

5)Frozen blueberries-powerful antioxidant, and proven to make belly fat disappear.
6)Frozen strawberries-taste good, and is one of the more nutritious berries.
7)Apple-Fills you up and is loaded with nutrients as well.
8)Banana- loaded with potassium
9)Garden of Life Raw Protein -18 grams of vegan protein in this.

I mix all of these together for about 5 minutes in my blender. And when It comes out, it's yummy, very healthy and delicious and it makes such a huge difference when taking it.
By the way always brush your teeth after eating this. There have been many times where I have forgotten to brush my teeth afterwards and have smiled at peeps with massive green stuff all over my teeth. Not cute!

Hope this helps you!

Hugs,

Milly

Lorac Lips With Benefits Lip Glosses Review and Swatches

So Lorac has just released their new Lorac Lips With Benefit Glosses.  When I first received the glosses. I was intrigued by the gorgeous tubes and by the names of the glosses themselves. Lorac describes the tubes as " a menage-a-trois of swirling striped hues." The tubes themselves are just so beautiful and a real attention getter. Also the names of the glosses, had me doing a lot of thinking. There's Chris, Mark, Ben (what do these three names have in common?). I'll give you a minute..........Ok, you've had enough time. Are these lip glosses named after all of Jlo's exes? Did you guys think that too? Or am I the only one who is a little obsessed with Jlo and thinks that everyone has got to be talking about her? Anyway,  I also received the gloss Nick, but I don't remember Jlo ever dating a Nick... Maybe I"m looking too much into this. Whatever it is, please click below too see swatches and read my review:

Mally Beauty & Sally Hansen At Tracy Reese Fall 2012 & Mally's Secret For long lasting Marriage

Hey my loves, this week has been crazy. I had 16 fashion shows scheduled and out of the blue my babysitter tells me she can't come for a week.  So, needless to say I was a little annoyed, and since Mr. Milly is away on business, it's been super hard to get to the shows, but one backstage show I would never miss is TRACY REESE. And that's because my love Mally Roncal is the beauty guru behind that show. You girls know how much Mally means to me. She was the first person that we ever got an interview with, and she's always so much fun. Anyway, the look at Tracy Reese was actually very wearable. Mally said " I have to say, this might be my FAVORITE look that Tracy and I have ever created! It is fresh, modern, cool, and just as wearable and appropriate off the runway as it is on the runway!"

The skin was flawless with a  bit of bronze, and  super highlighted.  Mally used her Lip magnifier in cafe, which is more on the neutral side with a hint of rose.  The star of the beauty look was the brows and eyeliner. I always get excited when Mally comes out with a new eyeliner because I truly think her's are one f the best. I once asked Joyce Bonelli (Kim K's makeup artist) what's the one product she can't live without. Her answer, "Mally Eyeliner."

 The eyeliner used was pencil eyeliner. There were a few different kinds, electric blue, electric teal, electric purple.  Mally didn't want it to look too retro. She really wanted it to look as if the girls applied it themselves. The eyes were inspired by Tracy's collection, which was super colorful. Totally un-releated, but look how stunning this model is. I couldn't stop photographing her.

Again totally random (but you girls should know how I am by now)I asked Mally and her husband what the secret is to their long marriage is, in unison they both said, "lots of sex." 

Ok so the nails were stunning. The colors were by Sally Hansen, Scarab which was a gorgeous shimmery blue and Copperhead- a beautiful metallic copper. These polishes were new technology exclusive to Sally Hansen. They almost looked like foils. And they used real silver to create the glow.  Really Beautiful. The polish is so new, the collection doesn't even have a name yet.

 
Loving both of those colors. 


What do you think of the makeup and nails?


Do you love it? 

What do you think about Mally's marriage advice?

Guest Post: Butter London Powder Room Remover

Hey loves, our first guest post is by Vonnie. Today she's reviewing Butter London's Powder Room Remover.

"I am a complete nail polish fiend and have always been; I used to change my nail polish to match my outfit every single day in high school.  One side issue with doing so, however, were the toxic fumes from most nail polish removers.  I swear, I don't know why I didn't invest in a gas mask with the strong smell that most of them exude!

Well, no more worries about that!  Butter London has created "Powder Room" acetone free remover and this stuff is so darling.  It comes in a bottle adorned with lace that looks like something Marilyn Monroe would have on her vanity and the smell is lovely!  It lives up to its name, smelling like soft powder that you'd sweep on with a fluffy powder puff, not at all like nail polish remover!  

Not only does it smell amazing, it also takes off polish in two swipes which I find to be uber beneficial.  I don't have to scrub at my nails, do any chants to get polish off, beg, plead, or sell my first born.  It just easily swipes off!   I have gone through two bottles of this stuff and want to continuously use it! :)"

 

Vonnie this stuff sounds great, thanks for sharing the review.

New Nars Diamond Life Review and Swatches

When it comes to purple, well we all know I'm a little addicted. The color of this website is purple. My blackberry is purple. My comforter is purple. My favorite shirts all have purple in them.  My favorite tie of Mr. Milly's is purple. So I'm all about the purple, and when I saw how gorgeous the new  Nars Diamond Life Purple polish looked on my nails, well it was love at first application.

The Nars Diamond Life Purple Polish isn't just an ordinary purple. No, it's a medium purple  with  bits of silver shimmer.. The color is oh so pretty and very attention getting. While wearing this, two women on the subway asked me what polish it was. My only qualm with this product is it can be a little streaky. Two of my nails looked streaky even after three coats.

What do you think of this Nars Diamond Life?

Do you love it?

What's your favorite purple?

CVS Coconut Oil Vid

Hey guys,  How was your weekend? Are you a Giants fan or a Patriots fan? Do you know, I don't even understand the game of football. So since I was attending a superbowl party on Sunday, I tried to teach myself Football Saturday night. It didn't work. I just ended up cheering when everyone else cheered and booing when everyone else did too. Anyway, Please check out the vid I did for CVS talking about my obsession with Coconut oil.




How are you guys?

Random & Peoples Choice Award Thanks

Hey loves, I'm sorry I haven't posted too much this week. I've got a new side gig doing beauty for the premier issue of Cosmo Latina. The mag debuts in May.  You girls know how I am! I don't play when it comes to reviewing products so I've just been insanely busy testing, and writing.  I also have a really bad cough that hasn't gone away in four days and coughing all day can really wear you out.   (Any recommendations on how to get rid of a cough?) My aunt used to make me boil an onion and drink the  yucky tasting water, (old Dominican secrets). Anyway,  I hope you girls like the mag. We're doing a lot of fun things with it, and I thought of my amazing readers while writing my beauty stories Here are some random things though:

1) Juliana-you are the winner of the viviscal, please get back to me within two days or this will go to someone else. I have a lot of cool giveaways coming soon, but remember you must like the Beautylogicblog facebook page to enter.

I know the Peoples Choice Awards were almost a month ago, but I totally forgot to thank a few peeps who helped me get ready for my 5 minutes of fame.  I'd like to thank JJ Lashes for bringing out my inner fierce with the black diamond pair of lashes (You can still get my beautylogic discount till feb 8) and a shellac mani!
