A Little Bit of Everything....

Hello My Lovely {Treasures},

Happy Monday!!! I had such a busy weekend but happy to report it was a productive weekend as well.

A few things going on in Mrs. Aguila's life...
  • I am expanding my Avon business and I am now building a team. I just added 4 women to my team this month (3 on Saturday) and I am really excited to work with them and help them build up their business.  Contact me to buy or sell Avon/Mark by visiting my shop, while you are there you can sign up for email updates on specials going on.
  • There is a Free Shipping promotion going on at Mrs. Aguila's AVON/MARK shop right now with $10 order.  OFFER EXPIRED BUT YOU CAN STILL GET FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS OVER $30
Use Coupon Code:  ESSENTIAL


  • Yesterday Mr. Aguila and I went to a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game and had a blast together. I grew up a Dodger fan, thanks to my granddaddy, who is a huge Dodger fan and so is the rest of my family. Here are a few pictures of us having fun.

  • We were blessed with the tickets so we had no idea where we would be sitting at and I was hoping and praying we wouldn't be in the sun and praise God we weren't because it was a hot sunny day in Los Angeles. We had some really awesome seats. Of course had to have a Dodger Dog.
  • I didn't take any selfies but for my LOTD, I wore a little of everything.
    • FOTD-MAC Matchmaster Foundation SPF 15, Shade 5.0 and MAC Powder Blush (Frost) in Get-Away Bronze, part of summer colletion 
    • EOTD- SHADOWS:My Beauty Addiction Shadow Poxy to start and then for color I used Champagne on the brow lid, Royal on the crease and outer corner plus MAC Pro Longwear eye shadow in Sweet Satisfaction on the rest focusing on inner corners.  
      • EYELINER: Avon Glimmersticks Chromes in Flashy Steel, I made a thick line, then on the top right by the lash line, I used Avon Mega Impact Eyeliner in Extreme Cobalt plus on my water line.
      • EYELASHES:  I started with the L'oreal voluminous False Fiber Lashes, Black and then I finish the tips up with AVON Super Extend Infinitize Mascara, Black.
    • LOTD- MAC Coconutty.

  • I have alot of MAC empties I need to return to MAC, do you take advantage of the BACK TO MAC program? Have you heard of it?
  • It's a good thing i have Dodgers on my mind because this Saturday we are getting ready to celebrate my middle nephews 11th Birthday and the theme is Los Angeles Dodger baseball.
  • I found a Blue Velvet Recipe and my cousin and I are going to try this for our Dodger Blue cupcakes.
Well as you can tell Life as Mrs. Aguila is pretty busy these days.  I hope you have a wonderful rest of your Monday and be sure to check out more Make up, Beauty and Mani stuff over at Agape Love Designs

    Make Up, Ohhhh Make Up

    Hello my lovely treasures, thank you for stopping by here today.

    I have had so much on my mind lately, I haven't been able to sit and focus and put my thoughts down which is why I am just writing my blog for Makeup Monday tonight. I know, I know, I know. I am so sorry, I really am trying to get better at this blogging stuff.

    So during my 4 day weekend I took a lot of pictures of just random make up items. Some I took of the different store displays and some are from my Avon order. So this may turn out to be a wordless Wednesday, Makeup Monday post.


    New mascara, Mega Effects by Avon, that I am totally loving right now. I will be doing a review and giveaway post soon.

    Does anybody else love giveaways, as much as I do? Just this week, I won 2 more giveaways! God is good to me. I will be hosting and joining a couple giveaways on a couple of blogs I am sponsoring so be on the look out for those. (Hint tomorrow morning, July 11, 2013) you will have a chance to win 2 Avon holo nail polishes. Here is a preview. Enter Giveaway Here
    Ok so for the make up display spotting's, I had this weekend.
    I don't own anything from this brand but here it is,

    So this was the NYX display and I took a photo of the Eyeshadow base display, the price on these were $6.99. Which eyeshadow base or primer do you use?

    Both Avon and Mark have eyeshadow primers, you can check them out here
    Mrs. Aguila's AVON and MARK shop
    As I had shared with you on Sunday, I cheated on AVON/MARK this weekend and I visited the MAC store and made a small purchase for a big price. I am not sure why I continue to do that but here is a picture of SOME of the eyeshadow displays.

    I guess this Is why I go in there and I end up buying something!! Look at all these colors but seriously $20 before taxes and NO shipping just for ONE of these shadows??? I need to stay away from this evil store and stick to Avon.
    This is the Romantic Mauves quad and it is on sale for $4.99.
    This cute duo is TRUE COLOR Eyeshadow Duo-Fiji Paradise collection, color is Luscious Orchid, price $3.49.
    Love the packaging don't you?


    And finally some Avon blush, my friend ordered Rose Lustre (pictured on top) and I ordered Molten Mocha (pictured on bottom left and right) and I also have the Cranberry shade, which I love and is really pigmented.


    
    
    I also made an order for My Beauty Addiction eye shadow samples and eye shadow poxy.

    And after all this Make up shopping, I confess (yes I realize it's not Friday and this is not a confession link up post) I have not warn make up all week.
     

    A peek into the Avon goodies for my customers but like I said always feels like an Avon haul all for me.

    And so there you go, a peek into Life as Mrs. Aguila's adventures in make up and yes I know it's not Monday but there is still time for Make Up Monday.

    Confessing Time


    Ok so it is that time again...
    1. I seriously love 4 day weekends.
    2. I love visiting my hairdresser and getting my hair done.
    3. I just got my hair done and haven't taken a picture.
    4. I love getting my Avon order and going through everything. Even if it is not mine, it still feels like an Avon haul all for me.
    5. I want to get new Avon customers.
    6. I cheated on Avon this weekend with MAC and My Beauty Addiction.
    7. I love the MAC store.
    8. I really shouldn't have spent over $40 on 2 MAC items.
    9. I was pretty jealous when one of my customers ordered a blush, an eye shadow quad AND a lipstick from Avon and only spent $22.
    10. I am thinking of returning the MAC items I bought.
    11. I am an impulsive shopper.
    12. I love to shop.
    13. I am really looking forward to church service tomorrow.
    14. I am so sleepy right now.
    15. I usually type my blogs late at night.
    16. I stay up late and I am so not a morning person.
    17. I can not wait to see my brother tomorrow.
    18. I was excited to get the KEEK app on my Windows 8 phone BUT I have yet to post a video.
    19. I have recorded a couple Keek's but then delete them.
    20. I love, love, love my new blog design and want you to check it out and let me know what you think. 
    So now go ahead and keep calm and confess and join Maria-Isabel of Agape Love Designs and Michelle of Let It Shine for a linky party.

    Wonderful Wednesday....

    Hello Lovely Treasures,

    I hope and pray that you are doing well today and that you are ready to have a fun safe Independence Day celebration.  So Mr. Aguila and I decided to go to San Diego and catch some lunch in Little Italy and watch a firework show by the ocean with our lovely friends. I am super excited. This will be our first time spending the day over there for this celebration. I will share our experience and photos with you on Friday.
    I just love this photo I found while browsing the world wide web. I don't take credit for it but it's cute and wanted to share.
    Anybody want to try one of these hand creams from Avon?  Leave a comment and I will choose a random winner from the comments to try them in honor of 4th of July (be sure to read til the end for more good news) You can check out more information on my website Mrs. Aguila's AVON/MARK shop. You can browse the ebrochure, Campaign 14, page 168 or look up Summer Mini Hand Creams.

    From right to left we have: Skin So Soft Signature Silk, 592-674
    Moisture Therapy Daily Skin Defense, 592-655
    Skin So Soft & Sensual, 592-660

    Here is a look into my make up bag that I pretty much carry with me from my car to my office back to my car, just for those days when i feel like wearing make up.

    And last but not least, if you are like me and wait for the specials and the deals to shop, this is for you. This is one of my favorite promotions when shopping online, to be honest, so of course I want to share it with you.

    Turquoise Crazy

    Hello Treasures,

    It's a short work week. I have a four day weekend and I am so ready. I dont know what Mr. Aguila and I are doing yet but I dont want to waste this weekend being lazy, Thats a first!! LOL  Do share what everyone is up to this weekend so I can get ideas.

    So anyway I am on a Turquoise craze since last week.
    Maybe cuz i am working on my blog design and one of the colors is turquoise, guess what other color I am using??
    So anyway today's post will be a little bit about everything. If you have read my previous posts, you will know that for whatever reason I get my make up inspiration from what i am wearing, but it is not so much about matching just the color inpiration.
    I mentioned to you before that I won a giveaway from Maria-Isabel of Agape Love Designs for some My Beauty Addiction products and one of the items I chose was Turquoise Eyeshadow. I love it!

    So here is the look.


    For the eyeliner I used Avon glimmersticks liqui-glide eyeliner in Brown and as a highlighter I used Nudey Booty from My Beauty Addiction but you couldnt see it on my skin color so I will have to give that color away. I usually use the Shroom from Mac as my highlighter but its a nice neutral color just to nudey for my booty!

    And since I am on a Giveaway and a Turquoise craze right now. Let me share my latest giveaway win.

    It was hosted by The Stitchin' Mommy and her sponsors Cuddlebug Cuties and Sew Crafty Angel. Stop by their blogs for some pretties and crafts PLUS Giveaways and Blog Hops and me on their side bar!

    Here's what I won! YES I LOVE GIVEAWAYS and I just had to brag about what i won. It was such a great giveaway. I think you will agree.


    Amy from The Stichin' Mommy does some amazing crocheting and she is a very attentive and sweet person. I am super impressed with her work and I love the colors and even the way she packages is so pretty and comes with care instructions which I didnt take a picture of, sorry BUT you have to check out her work. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

    So there you have my turquoise craze.  Thanks for reading.

    Have a fabulous day or night depending on where in the world you are.

    His Treasure,

    Mrs. Aguila
