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!

January Beauty Favorites 2014!

As every month, I made a video about my beauty and random favorites! Here I'm just going to show you the beauty part, but if you want to know about the other stuff, the video is going to be linked below.

Como todos los meses, he hecho un vídeo sobre mis favoritos de belleza y también series, música, etc. Aquí solo os voy a enseñar los de belleza, pero si queréis ver los otros, el vídeo va a estar al final del post.

Benefit Hervana blush: This blush is a staple, at least the color. It gives a very natural look to your face since it's a matte light pink color. It doesn't have any shimmer at all. Also, since it's a bit sheer, you can get it to look as light or dramatic as you'd like.

Este colorete es esenicial, al menos el color. Da un aspecto muy natural ya que es un rosa claro mate. No tiene nada de brillos. Además, como no está muy pigmentado, puedes ponertelo tan natural o dramático como quieras.

Benefit The Porefessional: I started using this product this month and I'm in love with it. It makes my pores look like they're a lot smaller, which is always good. The only down side is the price, since it was 32€ here in Spain, but if it lasts a long time (which I don't know yet) then it wouldn't be as bad.

Empecé a usar este producto este mes, y me encanta. Hace que mis poros parezcan mucho más pequeños, lo cual viene bien siempre. Lo único malo es el precio, ya que me costó 32€ aquí en España, pero si dura mucho tiempo (lo cual no sé todavía) entonces no sería tan malo.

Naked 3 palette by Urban Decay: My favorite part of this palette is the darker half. I find lighter pinks to look a bit weird on me, but these eyeshadows are obviously gorgeous. 

Mi parte favorita de esta paleta es la mitad más oscura. Creo que los rosas más claros me quedan un poco raros, pero estas sombras son obviamente preciosas.

Maybelline expression kajal in black: I forgot I even had this eyeliner, but it does a great job.

Se me había olvidado que tenía este eyeliner, pero funciona muy bien.

Bourjois eyeshadow in Citron Givré: This is a light yellow eyeshadow, as you can see in the picture. I use it to lighten up the inner corner of my eye, so it looks like I'm more awake.

Esta es una sombra amarillo claro, como podéis ver en la foto. La uso para aclarar la parte del lacrimal del ojo, para dar un aspecto más despierto.

October 2011 Favorites!

Another month has passed and that means one thing: it's time for my favorites post :)
I love trying new things every month but here are a few that I've been using for a while (except the 3rd one, which I got to try out this month...since it's new)

1. Naked Palette by Urban Decay

I know everyone has it and everyone says how amazing it is. But in fact, it is as amazing as everyone says. I've been using it a lot this month and I just can't get over how many different color combinations and looks you can get with just one palette. It's also a little expensive (I paid 37€ for it online) but I think it's totally worth it! (and yes, I haven't taken off the plastic from the mirror yet... and I'm not planning on it lol)

2. Bourjois eyeshadow in "Citron Givré"

It's limited edition and I bought it from asos.com (I don't know if it's still available). Yeah,  it's yellow but I don't use it as a regular eyeshadow. I only use it to brighten up my inner corner and I feel like it makes my eyes pop more than using just a plain white eyeshadow.

3. BB Cream by Garnier

It doesn't do what it claims to do but it is a great moisturizer. I have oily skin and this doesn't make my face greasy at all. It also gives a little bit of color, but in my opinion it's not enough, so I still have to use foundation.  I just use it for the moisture part. It's also fairly cheap (around 7€ in my country), so I don't feel like I should complain.


4. Elf blush in "Tickled Pink"

It gives a very natural look to my cheeks and it's perfect for every day use since it's not heavy but you can definitely see that it's there.

5. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in "Tokyo"

I love everything about it: smell, color, price, texture...This shade it's a very pretty light pink that makes my lips almost nude but with a hint of pink. You can read the tube for yourself haha

ps: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! :D
