e.l.f. Haul 2014

So I decided to do this blog post for those wondering if these eyeshadows are any good. You can call this my e.l.f. spring haul.

This is my entire haul! With shipping, my total was about $25! I got a really nice deal for April Fool's Day! 50% my entire purchase! So instead of everything beig $3 a piece, I got them all for $1.50 each! Such a great deal! I bought mostly eyeshadows and then two baked blushes. 

Here is a picture of the swatches without any flash! Still gorgeous for no flash huh?! 

Here is a picture of the swatches with camera flash for all of the mineral eyeshadows and baked blushes. 

These eyeshadows go on so smoothly and will last you forever because they're very pigmented. 

I also tried a few eyeshadows over this Vaseline/petroleum jelly. They go on so smoothly and remind me of the Maybelline 24hr color tattoo pots.

Please take a minute to check out my beauty YouTube channel @ ForeverRaquelLove and watch my live review and demo on these beautiful products by e.l.f..

25 weeks Pregnant

Hello my loves! I am at 25 weeks, time just keeps on going by really fast! Here are some pictures of my 25 weeks Day/Night. Enjoy! <3 

That candle by the way is the best ever! :) You can buy it at Walmart for $5! It's called Peach & Mango. It's not like any regular candle though because it has beads in it that release the scent a lot quicker than a regular candle would. It also lasts a very long time! My baby bump is getting bigger! 

This is what is on my nails! Loving them! Electric blue is definitely on trend this spring2014. 

I really love the shiny top coat as well! It really does make your nails shiny! I definitely recommend it because it's only like $1-$1.27 at Walmart. 

This is me wearing my awesome wetnwild indigo blue liquid eyeliner. I bought it at CVS for $1.99. 

Earring is from Charlotte Russe. 

My mascara is the smashbox full exposure mascara in jet black. 

This is my doll face magazine look. :) 

Lipstick is wetnwild's think pink and lip gloss is bareMinerals Moxi gloss in Rebel. 

I love this effect my Instagram gave to my photo. Blush is pink passion by wetnwild. My eyeshadows are from the Naked Palette (virgin & toasted). 

This is my cute adorable daughter Ruby being such a little fashionista! 

She was posing outside of Olive Garden. She loved her dinner there! Mac n cheese with grapes and some lemonade. 

This is me waiting for our buzzer to go off. I will cherish this photo because I hardly ever get any with my princess that are this good quality and from afar. 

It has definitely been harder or I should say-challenge!!! To keep my legs together and closed like a good lady but at this stage... I'm just too pregnant. My shoes are from Charlotte Russe! I got them for about $12! Super steal. :) 

My dinner consisted of whole wheat linguine in garlic Alfredo sauce with grilled chicken and some salad. I also had my favorite~ peach tea! I probably shouldn't have drank peach tea but I had too! It's just not Olive Garden dinner without it! 

I did a tutorial on this look so if you're interested in watching it please click the link below and subscribe if you haven't already. :)

P.S.: I just had this today at 25 weeks and 1 day pregnant! I wasn't able to eat it for dinner so I took it to go. :) 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

23 weeks pregnant

So I bought this really sweet maternity shirt dress at Target for about $7! On the clearance rack of course! Definitely would not wear this out in public without leggings or tights But since I was just chillin at home ... I decided to take some shots with my iPhone 

Baby Raphael Liam Fuentes is growing so big and fast!!! It's almost hard to believe I have not gained weight... I've actually lost weight BUT my belly has grown... Obviously...I think my metabolism is a lot better with this 2nd pregnancy VS my first pregnancy with baby Ruby... I gained so much with her!!! There's still a few months left... Only time will tell if I gain or keep losing... Of stay at my weight but just get an even bigger bump ... :) 

Until my next post loves! 💙 

P.S. : excuse my crazy face and hair! I had just finished my shower and decided to just take some quick pics before I forgot :) 

22 weeks Pregnant

The bump is finally showing up better this 22nd week of pregnancy 

~Spring 2014~ March 

5 Months & 2 weeks pregnant + Gender Reveal

My bump is slowly growing and finally the bump pics can start on my blog :)

Can barely see my toes... 

I have lost a few pounds, nothing drastic but you can definitely tell on my face and shoulder area. I'm sure that will change in the last few months of my pregnancy.

Everything so far has being going great with my pregnancy other than feeling like crap some days.... 

Back aches... Hip/pelvic aches or my favorite!~ Vomiting/heartburn -__-

I know all in all that pregnancy does not come easy always, but I'm happy baby is doing good and growing <3 

Oh yeah! It's a Boy! I am in love with the name Liam so it will definitely be used finally :) 

Baby Raphael Liam so cute

Thanks for stopping by 

Love,
