New In | Primark Haul


A few days ago I uploaded a Primark Haul on my YouTube channel. As you guys saw in my previous post, I went to London recently and I couldn't leave without a trip to Primark.

I got a bunch of cool things, and I'm pretty much obsessed with everything I got. My favorite thing is a pair of black boots, which were only £15!!

You can watch the video below to see everything I bought!


Hace unos días subí un Haul de Primark a mi canal de YouTube. Como visteis en mi post anterior, fui a Londres hace poco y no podía volver sin pasar por Primark.

Compré un montón de cosas que me encanta. Mi parte favorita es un par de botas negras que valieron solo 15 libras!!

My trip to London (photos & vlog) | Oxford street, Sherlock locations, Big Ben, St James's Park & more!

If you follow me on Twitter, Instagram or YouTube, you would know that I took a trip to London last week. I uploaded a vlog on my channel (that you can check HERE or at the end of the post) but I wanted to share some of the photos with you as well.

I love Oxford street and all that area. I love the stores, the clothes, everything! I only went shopping at Primark because I didn't want to spend too much money, but I love walking around and seeing what this lovely street has to offer. 

St James's Park is one of my favorite parks in London and, of course, I took the time to go over there to take some photos. If you want to see more, follow me on Instagram because I thought it would be much if I posted more here, but I'll definitely post on Instagram throughout the next few weeks/month.

And there's a bonus Big Ben photo for you!

I also went ahead and saw some of the locations where they film Sherlock. The actual front of the house was a couple streets past the hotel, and then St Barts hospital is close to St Paul's Cathedral, which I also visited (for the third time).

And the last picture is going to be dedicated to Wicked! I've been singing the songs for years and I really wanted to see it, so I decided to go this time! I just couldn't wait for my next time in London. The musical was amazing, even better than I imagined and I would recommend it to anyone. It was, honestly, so good! Kerry Ellis was playing Elphaba and she did an incredible job. 

Here's the vlog if you want to see it:

My favorite bronzers for light skin tones


The summer is pretty much gone and now that autumn is here and we won't get that natural tan (although I never get a tan anyway) we might want to enhance it with bronzer. As you probably know my skin is very light, and it's sometimes hard to find a bronzer that looks natural. If you have that same problem, here are my recommendations:

The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder in shade 02: There is a 01 shade available but it's pretty much the same. This is a very natural looking bronzer suitable for the palest of skin tones. I have a review on it HERE

NYX Matte Bronzer in shade Light: This is the first one I bought out of the three and I really like it. It has a slight redish tone compared to the other two but it still looks good. It's also very cheap!

Bourjois Délice de Poudre Bronzing Powder in shade 51: It has a slight shimmer if you look at it closely but it's not noticeable on the skin. This is the one I've been using the most recently, I love it!


El verano se ha acabado ya prácticamente y ahora que llega el otoño y no nos vamos a poner morenas de forma natural (aunque yo no me pongo morena, de todas formas) puede que queramos utilizar polvos bronceadores. Puede que sepáis que mi piel es muy clara, y es por tanto complicado encontrar un bronceador que quede natural. Si tenéis este mismo problema, estas son mis recomendaciones:

Polvos Bronceadores Honey Bronze de The Body Shop en el tono 02: Hay un tono 01 pero es prácticamente igual que este. Es un bronceador muy natural y adecuado para las pieles más claras. Podéis ver una review más a fondo AQUÍ

Matte Bronzer de NYX en el tono Light: Este es el primero que compré de los tres y me gusta mucho. Tiene un ligero tono rojizo comparado con los otros dos pero queda muy bien. ¡Y es el más barato!

Polvos Bronceadores Délice de Poudre de Bourjois en el tono 51: Tiene un poco de brillo si lo miras de cerca pero no se nota en la piel. Este es el que he estado usando recientemente. ¡Me encanta!

Must Have Face Brushes

Must Have Face Brushes

Today I thought I'd show you some of my favorite brushes that I use on a daily basis. As it turns out, I chose 5 face brushes, so I might do another post on eye brushes in the future. These ones are from left to right:

Sigma F80 - Flat Kabuki: I use it to apply liquid foundation.

Real Techniques - blush brush: I know the same suggests you use it for blush, but I like it more for bronzer. I pinch it with my fingers so it creates kind of a line and then I contour.

Sigma P80- Precision Flat: You could say this is the baby of the F80 since it's very similar but way smaller. I use it to apply concealer on my blemishes.

Real Techniques - powder brush: As the name suggests, I use it for powder. It's really big and super soft!

Sigma F40- Large Angled Contour: I used the blush one for contour, so I use the contour one for...blush!! I got this one in the Sigma Paris palette but the original one is the same.

What are some of your favorite face brushes?


Hoy os quería enseñar algunas de mis brochas favoritas que uso a diario. Resulta que he escogido 5 que son para la cara, así que puede que haga otro post con brochas para los ojos próximamente. Estas son de izquierda a derecha:

Sigma F80 - Flat Kabuki: Lo uso para la base de maquillaje líquida.

Real Techniques - blush brush: Sé que el nombre sugiere usarlo para el colorete, pero a mi me gusta para los polvos bronceadores. Lo aplasto con los dedos cuando lo uso para que forme como una línea y contorneo.

Sigma P80- Precision Flat: Podríamos decir que este es el bebé del F80 ya que es muy similar pero mucho más pequeño. Lo utilizo para poner corrector en los granitos.

Real Techniques - powder brush: Como el nombre sugiere, lo uso para polvos ¡Es muy grande y súper suave!

Sigma F40- Large Angled Contour: Si utilizo el de colorete para bronceador, el de bronceador para...¡colorete! Este me venía en la paleta Paris de Sigma, pero el original es igual.

¿Cuáles son vuestras brochas para la cara favoritas?

Lazy Day Makeup

lazy day makeup

We all have those days when we don't feel like putting a full face of makeup, but we still want to do something to look put together, or because we don't feel confident enough with a bare face.
Here are the products I love for those days. I feel like if I wear these 4 things I look presentable and it doesn't look like I just woke up.

The MAC pro longwear concealer is good for under the eyes and for blemishes, and it covers everything! It's perfect!

Eyebrows frace your face and make a huge difference, so I recommend using this NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder because it's cheap but looks amazing. I use the darkest shade in this one, which is the color dark brown.

If there's one thing I have to put on before I leave the house that's mascara. I feel like it makes me look so much more awake, and better in general. This is my favorite at the moment: the Bourjois One Seconde mascara in waterproof.

I'm a huge lip product junkie and I love my lipsticks, but if I don't feel like putting one on but I still want a bit of color, the Dior Lip Glow balm is amazing. It's expensive, but I don't regret buying it at all! It's probably my favorite lip product that I own.

Todos tenemos esos días en los que no nos apetece ponernos mucho maquillaje, pero queremos que parezca que nos hemos arreglado, o simplemente no estamos seguras con la cara limpia.
Aquí os enseño los productos que uso para esos días. Creo que con estas 4 cosas estoy presentable y no parece que me acabe de despertar.

El corrector pro longwear de MAC va bien para las ojeras y para los granitos, y ¡cubre todo! ¡Es perfecto!

Las cejas enmarcan la cara y se nota mucha diferencia cuando tenemos cuidado con ellas. Yo recomiendo este Eyebrow Cake Powder de NYX porque es barato pero queda genial. Uso el lado más oscuro de este, que es el color dark brown.

Si hay una cosa que tengo que ponerme antes de salir de casa eso es máscara de pestañas. Creo que me hace parecer mucho más despierta, y queda mejor en general. Esta es mi favorita actual: la One Seconde de Bourjois en waterproof.

Me encantan los productos para los labios y llevar pintalabios, pero si no me apetece y todavía quiero un poco de color, el Lip Glow de Dior es increíble. Es caro, pero no me arrepiento para nada de comprarlo. Es, probablemente, mi producto para los labios preferido de los que tengo.

Outfits of the Week | September 2014


A few days ago I posted an Outfits of the Week video on my YouTube channel and everyone seems to be liking it a lot, which makes me really happy! I love making these videos and they take longer to edit, so it's nice to know people appreciate them.

Anyway, I wanted to share it with all of you as well. You can click here for the link, or watch it below.

The Body Shop Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask | Review

The Body Shop Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask

The Ionic Clay Mask from The Body Shop is something I've been wanting to try for a while. A lot of bloggers have talked about it before, and it seemed like something I would like. I was right!

It is targeted towards combination and oily skin types and it purifies, cleanses and removes excess oil from your face. I do feel like it does all that since my skin feels really smooth and soft after I use it, but it doesn't make it dry. 
As you can see, it has a light layer of green liquid on top, which I think it's just to preserve it and make it last longer, but it doesn' make the mask feel any different. 
It says you can use it twice a week, but I only do it once because my skin is sensitive and I don't want to irritate it. 
It's also really easy to use: you apply it with your fingers like any other mask, let it dry for about 10-15 minutes and then remove it (I use a wet face towel and I think that's the easiest/less messy way).

Where can you find it? At The Body Shop for 20€ in Spain and £13 in the UK, and if you live in the US, you can get it from Ulta's website for $22.


La Mascarilla Facial de Algas y Arcilla Iónica de The Body Shop es algo que quería probar desde hace tiempo. Muchas bloggers han hablado de ella previamente, y parecía algo que me podría gustar. ¡Estaba en lo cierto!

Está hecha para pieles mixtas y grasas y purifica, limpia y elimina los excesos de grasa de tu cara. Sí pienso que hace todo eso ya que mi piel se queda muy suave después de usarla, y no la seca.
Como podéis ver, tiene una fina capa de líquido verde encima, y creo que es solo para preservarla y que dure más tiempo, pero no lo notas cuando la aplicas.
Pone que la puedes usar dos veces a la semana, pero yo solo lo hago una ya que mi piel es sensible y no quiero irritarla.
También es muy fácil de usar: la aplicas con los dedos como cualquier otra mascarilla, dejas que se seque durante unos 10-15 minutos y te la quitas (yo uso una toalla de cara mojada y creo que es la forma más fácil/menos sucia de hacerlo)

¿Dónde puedes encontrarla? En las tiendas The Body Shop por 20€ en España, £13 en Reino Unido, y si vives en Estados Unidos, en la web de Ulta por $22.
