ASOS Wishlist | Autumn fashion

asos wishlist autumn fall fashion

I love ASOS and I'm pretty sure a lot of you do too! I browse the website way too often, so I always find great things I wish I could buy, but can't because I have something similar, it's too expensive, or simply because I don't really need it.

Here are some of my picks for my ASOS fall/autumn wishlist:

2. New Look duster coat (it also comes in black!): €49.75

Is there anything on the ASOS website you love and I should know about?

Nail of the day - Metropolitan by L'Oreal

I haven't been buying that many nail polishes lately because I feel like I already have enough. With that said, I was going to buy a lipstick the other day but didn't find the one I wanted and since I can't leave the drugstore without buying anything (cause I feel awkward), I bought this grey nail polish.

Also, I've been looking for the perfect grey nail polish for a while, so I was really happy when I found Metropolitan by L'Oreal.

No he comprado muchos pintauñas últimamente porque creo que ya tengo suficientes. Con eso dicho, fui el otro día a comprar un pintalabios pero no encontré el que quería, y como no puedo salir de la tienda sin comprar nada (porque me siento incómoda), compré este pintauñas gris.

Además, llevaba un tiempo buscando un pintauñas gris que me gustase, así que me alegró mucho encontrar Metropolitan de L'Oreal.

Top 5 | My favorite fall lipsticks

Today I want to share with you my top 5 lipsticks for fall! It's no secret I love my lip products, so obviously I'm going to have some favorites for the fall time.

Hoy quiero compartir mi top 5 de pintalabios para el otoño. No es ningún secreto que me encantan los pintalabios, así que obviamente tengo algunos favoritos para este tiempo otoñal.



 1. MAC's Rebel lipstick: Rebel is a satin lipstick from MAC's permanent collection (so it's easy to find it) and one of their most popular ones for this time of the year. If you like the dark lips trend, this is your lipstick. It's a dark purple color but very wearable and pretty. It's my favorite one out of these five.

Pintalabios Rebel de MAC: es un pintalabios satin de la colección permanente de MAC (por lo que es fácil de encontrar) y uno de los más populares para esta época del año. Si te gusta la moda de los labios oscuros, este es tu pintalabios. Es un color morado oscuro pero es muy bonito y te lo puedes poner mucho. ¡Es mi favorito de los cinco!


2. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stain in Smitten: this is also a dark purple color, but it's lighter than Rebel. This product is a stain but it's very creamy and it won't dry your lips, which is always a good thing.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stain en el color Smitten: también es un morado oscuro, pero es más claro que Rebel. Este producto es un tinte labial pero es muy cremoso y no te seca los labios, lo cual es bueno.


3. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stain in Honey: as you can tell, I really like these. I chose this one because it's a light color but it's not bright. It's a muted mauve that I think it's perfect for the fall time. Even though I'm putting it as my third option, it's the one I wear the most out of the five.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stain en el color Honey: como puedes ver me gustan mucho. He elegido este porque es un color claro pero no es brillante. Es un malva apagado que creo que es perfecto para el otoño. Aunque lo estoy poniendo en el número tres, es el que más uso de estos cinco.



4. Maybelline lipstick in Lady Red (#527): everyone needs a red lipstick, and to me, this is the best one out there. Maybelline lipsticks are very good quality and this is just amazing. It has cool undertones so it makes your teeth look whiter than a warm red would.

Pintalabios de Maybelline en Lady Red (#527): todo el mundo necesita un pintalabios rojo, y para mí, este es el mejor. Los pintalabios de Maybelline son de muy buena calidad y este me encanta. Tiene tonos fríos lo que hace que los dientes parezcan más blancos que si fuesen tonos cálidos.


5. Maybelline Super Stay 10h tint gloss in lasting pink: another stain...but this one has a glossy finish. Even though the color is called lasting pink, I'd say it's more on the red side, but anyway, it's very pretty.

Maybelline Super Stay 10h tint gloss en lasting pink: otro tinte labial...pero este tiene un acabado gloss. Aunque el color se llama lasting pink, yo diría que el color es más tirando a rojo, pero bueno, es un color muy bonito. 


I also make a video on this, so here it is in case you want to see them (and some swatches) in "real life":

También he hecho un vídeo de esto, así que os lo dejo aquí por si los quieres ver (y los swatches) en "la vida real":

Nail of the day - Live and let die

I recently got 2 nail polishes from OPI's James Bond collection and this is one of them. It's called Live And Let Die (since all of them have names from the movies) and I'd describe it as a dark base, which I see as a mixture of navy, green and grey, with tons of fine green and gold glitter.


and, you know what's amazing about it? ...I only applied ONE coat of the nail polish!! It's crazy how creamy and opaque this nail polish is. Obviously, it starts chipping earlier if you only do 1 coat, but still, it has lasted around 4 days perfectly.


Did you get any nail polishes from this James Bond collection? Did you like them? Let me know :)

OOTD | On Wednesdays we wear pink

Hello guys! Today I thought I'd do an outfit of the day post and, like the title says, I wore this last Wednesday. I always love it when I wear pink on Wednesdays without thinking about it (if you don't get the reference, I highly suggest you watch the movie "Mean Girls" because it's one of the funniest movies ever).

I'm sorry the light in these pictures is kind of weird, but it's been very cloudy lately and therefore, light in my room is not the best.



Sweater - Topshop
Jeans - Forever 21
Boots - Stradivarius
Belt - Lefties
Necklace - Marc by Marc Jacobs

Weekly photos #29

I've been busy with college essays and all of that and I barely have any time to do other things. Well, I don't have time because of that and because I watch too many tv shows and that consumes a lot of my free time. But anyways, here are some pictures from this week:


1. Pomegranates are my favorite fruit I think, and I'm obsessed with them, they're so good!!
2. My friends and I made coffee and one of them drew hearts in them. They look kinda weird there, but it was pretty cute. We just love to hang out and talk since we don't see each other every day as we used to (these friends that I'm talking about are the ones I went to school with when I was younger)
3. My sister and I carved this pumpkin. She did the nose and draw the batman logo and I carved the eyes and the mouth. It looked better than what I was expecting, I'm not gonna lie.
4. See this tiny pumpkin? It's actually chocolate! and it is delicious! :)

Nail of the day - Raven Red

I have yet another nail of the day post today. This time it is Raven Red by Revlon, and this is also a great color for the fall and winter time. It's a deep red color, so it's not very original but it's nice to have a color (or a few) like this in your nail polish collection.


These photos have been taken under natural light and I applied 2 coats of the nail polish. It's very creamy and it doesn't chip easy (at least that's my experience).


xoxo

ps: I'm not having a lot of posts up because I had photos ready in one of my memory cards and I lost it, so I have to retake them and I'm busy with college and everything, but I'm catching up so there will be more posts up soon :)

Weekly photos #28

I can't wait until winter break! haha I'm so tired because of college and I just don't like going. I don't want to complain because I know in the end it's good for me, but at the moment it doesn't seem like it. Anyway, I've met a few people who are making it a little better, so I'm grateful for that.


1. I love my new Revlon nail polish! I think it screams fall and I know I'm going to be wearing it a lot. If you want to know what color it is, check out my nail of the day post :)
2. I took that picture after I had to go up the stairs in my building because someone was in line on the elevator already and one of them was broken. I was extremely tired.
3. And here's a picture inside the elevator. I took it because I don't do stuff with my hair very often, so yeah, I had a braid that day.
4. My father bought this pumpkin the other day after I said that I wanted to carve one, so I might do that this week. I'll show you the result on my next weekly post, but I don't think it's going to turn out right haha

Nail of the day - Jaded Night

I had never used a Revlon nail polish before but I have to say that I'm in love with the quality of this nail polish. It is Jaded Night and there's a sticker on the bottle that says it's a new shade but it might not be, I don't know.

Anyway, this is a dark green color, which I feel it's perfect for fall. I like that it is very creamy and it was almost opaque with just one coat.

2 coats, natural light
I also got another Revlon nail polish, so I'll be showing you that one soon.

Outfit of the day | going to class

This is what I wore one day last week to go to class. I never know what to wear this time of the day because it's not warm enough for sandals but not cold enough for sweaters, so this is what I end up with.


Tank top - Zara
Shirt - Zara
Jeggings - Stradivarius
Boots - Bershka
Necklace - ASOS

Please let me know if you want to see more outfit of the day posts, since I'm doing videos on them for my YouTube channel, I don't mind taking a few photos to post here as well.

Wishlist | Tory Burch

I've been eyeing these things for a while even though they're pretty expensive. For now, I'm saving to buy the bag, but after I get it I don't know if I'll try to save for any of the others.

Tory Burch wishlist

1. City Satchel - 360.42€ / $450 - I think this bag is very cute, simple and classic at the same time; that's why I don't mind spending that much money on it, because I know it's going to last a very long time and it's (pretty much) always going to be on trend.

2. Rings bracelet - 132.15€ / $165 - I don't know why I like this, but recently I've been loving bulky and chunky jewelry. 

3. Parker Cap Toe logo flats - 200.23€ / $250 - I think these are very pretty and perfect for fall and winter. I really want a pair of Tory Burch flats, so these ones might be it.

4. Robinson zip coin case - 76.09€ / $95 - This is a very classy wallet, something that you're going to like for a long time and you're not going to get tired of.

Do you like Tory Burch?

September 2012 Favorites!

I know it's already October 6th but better late than ever, right? Anyway I wanted to show you my favorite products for the month of September since I did a video on it on my YouTube channel and I want you guys to see it as well.


1. Hervana blush by Benefit: I love pink blushes and this one is no exception. Even though it's a little bit on the pricier side, this blush is amazing and I think everyone who tries it, loves it. If you want to see a picture of what the blush actually looks like, click HERE.
2. EOS lip balm in Strawberry Sorbet: EOS lip balms are very moisturizing and this one smells really good. I sometimes apply it just because I want to smell/taste it.
3. Stay Don't Stray primer by Benefit: This is not only an eyeshadow primer, it also works for concealer, and I'd say it even has a little bit of coverage. I don't love it as much as my Shadow Insurance, but it's amazing!
4. Color Tattoo eyeshadow by Maybelline in On and On Bronze: I know this has a different name in the US but that's what it's called here. Anyway, the pigmentation is amazing and it stays in place a long time.
5. Urban Decay lip gloss in Naked: this came with my Naked 2 palette and I didn't pay much attention to it but I've been loving it recently, I'm even going to get the full size. The color looks kind of clear or nude on your lips but the glossy effect is amazing.


6. Pink body mist by Victoria's Secret: this scent is incredible. I regret getting the travel size instead of the big one because I can't get it in my country, but next time I'm in the US I'm getting the big bottle.
7. Voyage by Hermès: I only have this little sample but I love the smell. When I got it I thought it was a more adult scent, but I'm grown to love it. I don't know if I'd ever get the full size, but it's a great scent.
8. Make an Entrance by China Glaze: I don't know what to say about this, only that it's one of my favorite nail polishes ever.
9. Clean & Clear advantage spot treatment: this doesn't work like it says but I do see improvement on my pimples, so even if it works slow, I think you all should give it a try.

What are your September favorites?

Weekly photos #25

I start my junior year of college tomorrow!! That's kind of exciting, but I'd prefer to stay at home the whole time because I'm really lazy and I don't really like college or my major that much. Anyway, I just wanted to share that with all of you.


1. I made an Oreo milkshake and I know it looks weird and not good, but it was delicious. I just put oreos, milk and vanilla ice cream. And then my sister asked me to make more!
2. This week's been really cloudy and rainy, and I hated it. I hate the rain because umbrellas are just uncomfortable and it gets worse if it's windy, which it was :(
3 & 4. This is just my outfit of the day from Friday when I had dinner with a few of my friends. You can check it out here.

I'm going to need to meet new people all over again this year because my schedule is completely different from my friends' and I'm kinda scared since it's my third year and everyone's already in like a group of friends, but hopefully I'll find nice people to sit with :)

This is what I wore yesterday to go to my friend's house. Another one of my friends is going to Italy to study abroad for a year so we got together to say goodbye to her.
I also wore a black blazer from Zara over this because it's gotten pretty cold here over the past week.

London Haul | Topshop, Forever 21, Primark, New Look & more!

I'm finally posting my London Haul after being home for almost a month. I don't know what has taken me so long to do this since I did the video on it a while ago. Anyway, here's everything that I got. I'm going to start with clothing items:

From Topshop I got this pretty pink sweater that has that over sized look as you can see. I plan on wearing this with a belt because it doesn't look right on its own.


From New Look I got 3 things: a sheer tank top with butterflies that I wear with a bandeau or cami underneath, a cream knit cardigan and a neon pink scarf that was on sale for 3 pounds (I promise it's neon pink, but it wouldn't pick up the right color).


From Forever 21 I got this really cute skirt that I'm in love with. Even though it's pretty summery I plan on wearing it during fall time as well.


From Primark I got the coolest shirt ever (probably not, but I'm in love with it) and a mint green knit cardigan/sweater.


I also got jewelry from some if these places. I didn't take pictures on their own cause I thought this would be better, but everything in this first picture is from Forever 21,


and here, both bracelets are from New Look and the nail polish is from Topshop


I also went to the M&M's store and got a huge bag of M&M's, which I already ate (I promise I shared with my sister haha), and this cutie:



And last but not least, here's what I got at the store in the Harry Potter studio tour. By the way, the wand is like Snape's <3

Outfit Of The Day #5

Hey everyone! Here's another outfit of the day. I actually wore this last week and it wasn't as cold as it is right now so if I want to wear this outfit again I'll have to add a jacket and probably a scarf (since I'm obsessed with scarves).

Shirt - Zara
Tank top - Zara
Pants - Stradivarius (they're actual pants even though they look like leggins)
Boots - Coolway
Belt - Forever 21

Fall Trends

 First of all, I want to say that this post shows my own personal take on fall trends. When I go through actual stores or online stores and I see something repeatedly, I consider that an upcoming trend.

Stripes:
9.95€ - H&M

13.75€ - Forever 21

19.95€ - H&M

24 pounds - Topshop 

40 pounds - Topshop

58 pounds - Topshop

I love this trend because it continues summer's biggest trend: nautical. And I don't know if you realized, but the third top is the same I showed you on my haul but in a different color. As you can see, the width, color, texture or print of the stripe doesn't matter. 

My favorite item: the half sequin top from Topshop. It's just beautiful, and I'm probably going to buy it. It's just gorgeous and I love how the stripes gradually change width and the sheer sleeves.

Dark red:
12.44€ - Forever 21

19.75€ - Forever 21

53.84€ - Motel (found at ASOS)

20 pounds - Miss Selfridge

25 pounds - Miss Selfridge

28 pounds - Miss Selfridge

Any dark red color is going to be a huge success this fall; and it will work in fashion and beauty. Dark red eyeshadows and dark red nails are very pretty and will look great.

My favorite item: the tank top from Miss Selfridge. I love how it crosses in the back and also looks very light weight, which I love.

Ankle Boots:

59.95€ - H&M

69.95€ - Zara

75.95€ - Zara

68 pounds - Topshop

45.95€ - Zara

This is my favorite trend out of them all, and also the biggest one. Every store that I go or look at has ankle boots, either flat, with a wedge, or heel. I love ankle boots, as you know I already bought a pair, and I'm going to buy at least 2 more pairs. I think they're great for fall and winter since they cover your whole foot, so it'd be great if I can buy a couple more.

My favorite item: dark red suede ankle boots by Topshop. They cover 2 of these trends and are very fashion forward and pretty. I love the platform and the heel, and I think they'll be perfect to go out at night.
