L'Oreal Color Riche Collection Exclusive Pure Reds: Blake | Review and swatch

I'm always on the hunt for the perfect red lipstick and, althought I already have a few that I love, I couldn't not buy this one. L'Oreal released recently a collection of pure red lipsticks inspired by some celebrities in the same concept as their nude lipsticks line. 

Blake's (Blake Lively) lipstick from the L'Oreal Color Riche Collection Exclusive Pure Reds is a slightly pink toned red with blue undertones, which is perfect if you want your teeth to appear whiter.

I don't know if this shade would be everyone's favorite, but I do recommend heading over to your local drugstore and taking a look at the collection because they most likely have a red that you'll love.

In terms of lasting power, I'd say it's nothing special: it would smuge if you eat/drink and you might have to reapply throughout the day, but it will last longer if you do two layers and blot/set it when you firt apply it.

TOP 3 | My Favorite Nude Lipsticks

Whenever I don't know what lipstick I want to wear, or I don't have enough time to think about it (because, let's face it, it's a time consuming decision), I always end up wearing a nude lipstick. It goes with everything! Today I wanted to share with you my favorite nude lipsticks, which happen to be these 3:

MAC Patisserie: I bought it because Lily Pebbles and Anna (ViviannaDoesMakeup) talked about it all the time, and it was one of the best makeup decisions ever! I love this lipstick so much and it has become my favorite nude. 

L'Oreal Collection Privée lipstick in JLo's Nude (Cheryl's Nude in the UK): This one is similar to Patisserie but I'd say it has a bit more pink in it. I reckon it would suit pretty much every single skin tone. 

MAC Creme Cup: This is the pinkiest one from the bunch, but still a nude. Perfect if you don't feel comfortable enough with nude lips yet!

Cuando no se que pintalabios quiero usar, o no tengo suficiente tiempo para pensarlo (porque, admitámoslo, es una decisión que toma su tiempo), siempre acabo optando por un pintalabios nude. ¡Va con todo! Hoy quería enseñaros mis pintalabios nude favoritos, que son estos 3:

MAC Patisserie: Lo compré porque Lily Pebbles y Anna (ViviannaDoesMakeup) hablaban de él todo el tiempo, y es una de las mejores decisiones respecto al maquillaje que he tomado. Me encanta y se ha convertido en mi nude favorito.

L'Oreal Collection Privée en JLo's Nude (Cheryl's Nude en Reino Unido): Este es similar a Patisserie pero yo diría que tiene un poco más de rosa. Pienso que queda bien en casi cualquier tono de piel.

MAC Creme Cup: Este es el más rosa de todos, pero sigue siendo un nude. Es perfecto si todavía no te sientes cómoda con un pintalabios nude.

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.

Weekly photos #26

My first week of my third year in college has ended and I'm still trying to get used to my new schedule. We're still taking it slow but I think my classes are about to get harder and harder. I'm hopefully going to have a good time anyways with all my old friends and my new ones.

1. First day of class, waiting for the professor. As you can see no one seats in the first few rows lol

2. I believe that's what I wore my second day of class, so tuesday. If you want to see what I wore every single day of the week, you can check out my newest youtube video.

3. The subway's been really slow this week, I don't know what's up with it but it's been awful. As you can see in that picture the first train was coming in 1 minute and the one after that in 9, which is crazy because they usually come every 2-3 minutes.

4. My pink converse sneakers (or whatever you call them).

5. Those are all the different tea flavors I have currently at home. I love tea and I'm willing to try every single flavor; I recently got that mint chocolate one and it was delicious!
6. A few L'Oreal products I bought the other day.
7. This is a Harry Potter set they have in stores here right now. I don't even know how expensive it is because it doesn't say on the box, so I'm guessing it's very pricey. It's really cool, but my mom would kill me if I get it lol
8. I just came back from hanging out with my two best friends who I'm friends with since we were little and, as you can see, we got frozen yogurt.
