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":

October 2012 Favorites!

I've been very busy this month and I feel like I'm making excuses in every single post recently but here I am, and I'm going to try to post more frequently.
My favorites this month have been:

For my lips I chose this Baby Lips by Maybelline in the color "pink punch", the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stain in the color "sweetheart" and the L'Oreal Caresse lipstick in the color "mauve cherie".

As for eyeshadow, I've been loving these two L'Oreal color infallible shadows; the colors are "pebble grey" and "hourglass beige". They're both very pigmented and gorgeous.

I've also been loving these two blushes: the first one is the Tarte amazonian clay 12-hour blush in the color "dollface" and the other one is a MAC blush in the color "stay pretty" which came out in a recent collection, so I don't know if it's still available or not. The brush that I've been using a lot to apply my brush is from Forever 21 (which is crazy to me) and it's the softest ever! It came in a set for around 8€.

This is a little more random but I've been loving that bracelet from H&M and a cleansing water from Biotherm biosource, which is actually a foam when you pump it.

What have you been loving this month?

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.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable | Review + Swatches

A few posts ago I reviewed the Revlon Lip Butters and now I'm here to tell you about another Revlon lip product that has been talked about for a while now; the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable lip stains.

Since they are stains they last longer than regular lipstick or lipgloss but they're also moisturizing and not drying like most stains.

They come in a bunch of colors but I only have two right now; I plan on getting more because I really like this product. The colors that I have are Smitten (dark one) and Sweetheart (light one), and I like both of them very much.

People say these are comparable to the Clinique Chubby Stick, but since I haven't tried those ones I can't really say if that statement is true or not. Anyways, these are around $7-8 and the Clinique ones retail for about $20, I belive; so I think these Revlon ones are very much worth the try.

Also I have to say that they taste/smell like peppermint, which is something that I love, but I know some people may not like that, but still, it goes away a few minutes after you've applied it.

The twist up so there is more product that you don't see; I say this because some people can think that you only get the tip of the stick of product, but like I said, there is more inside.

Here are the swatches: as you can see Smitten comes out more sheer than Sweetheart but both colors are gorgeous in my opinion.

Weekly photos #23

The second week of September is now over and I still don't have to go to class, which is pretty cool. I still have more time to do nothing and be lazy although I'm going to start to get my driver's license (it is a long process here in Spain and also quite expensive compared to other countries). Hopefully I'll be able to get my learners permit in the upcoming weeks and then I'll be able to drive a car with a teacher by my side.

1. I ate this kind of Japanese food (not real Japanese, but close) and it was pretty good! I loved it because you make it in 5 minutes, which is going to be perfect for when I have classes and I don't have much time to have lunch.

2. I love this nail polish from Kiko; I've had it for a while but I never really liked it that much, I don't know what's different now but something is haha

3. I'm obsessed with the Revlon Lip Butters. I made a post about them the other day (check it out HERE) and I'm going to buy a few more because they're amazing. 

4. Just a picture of myself in my house.

5. Editing videos for my YouTube channel takes a lot of time! It's not that much the editing, but the exporting and uploading. It sometimes feels like it's never going to end, but at least I can do other stuff while that goes on.
6. Fun fact: popcorn is one of my favorite things to eat.
7. My schedule for this year was impossible to fit, but I finally did and enrolled into my junior year of college, although I don't have the subjects that I wanted in the first place.
8. Don't you guys love raspberries? I do. So yummy!!

Revlon Lip Butters | Review + Swatches

Today I want to talk about something that's been very popular in both YouTube and Blogger for a while now, and that's the Revlon Lip Butters.

I got 2 of these when I went to the US and the other one I found at a store when I went to the beach here in Spain, which was a surprise since I never see Revlon products where I live.

The colors that I have are Raspberry Pie, Strawberry Shortcake and Cotton Candy. As you may have heard, these are very moisturizing because they're half lip balm, and also pretty pigmented (some shades are very sheer but have nice color) because they're half lipstick.

The packaging is great because you always know what color you're getting. As you can see the whole package shows the color, but also the top is clear so you can actually see the lip butter.

They go on very smooth and don't have any scent. They're great if you want to apply them on top of a lipstick or on their own.
Out of the ones I have, the one that I wear the most is Raspberry Pie.

These are the swatches in the same order as I told you before:

I recommend these to all of you because I think they're very wearable and they're something nice to have since they come in a bunch of colors that suit every single look.
Have you tried any of these? What's your favorite one?

Jennifer Lawrence inspired make up

You all know I'm a huge Hunger Games fan, so I was very happy to create this look. I got my inspiration from her look at the Hunger Games premiere, where she wore a pretty brown smokey eye, peachy cheeks and really light colored (almost nude) lips.

For my eyes I used the color "buck" from the Naked Palette as a base, the third color from the Revlon quad in "Attitude" for my crease and the darkest color in that same quad for my outer corner and I also put a little bit down my lower lash line. To highlight my brow bone I used a single eyeshadow from CoverGirl in the color "french vanilla", and to highlight my inner corner I used an eyeshadow from Bourjois called "citron givré".

My eyeliner is NYX Slide On pencil in "Jet black" and my mascara is CoverGirl Lash Blast (the waterproof version).

For my cheeks I used MAC's blush in "Launch Away!" (that came out with their Hey Sailor! collection) which is just a very light peachy color.
And last but not least I used MAC's lipstick in "Creme Cup" on my lips and NYX's lipgloss in "Mauve". This combination created a light pink color that can look a little nude as well.

If you want to see all the steps, you can go watch the video I made:

What do you think of this look?

Beauty Haul | Revlon, Essie, Benefit, Tarte & more

These are the products I got on my trip to the United States of America. It's less than what I was expecting to get, but I'm pretty happy with everything.

I know we have Maybelline here, but these are not out yet and since everyone was saying how good they are, I had to get a couple.

Baby lips in "Peppermint" and "Pink Punch"

Then I got a bunch of things from Revlon because we don't have it in Spain, so I was very excited. First I got this Eyeshadow stick in the color "torch" and one of their new quads in "Attitude", which are neutral colors as you can see.

I also got one of their newest Just Bitten Kissable lip stains (I think that's what it's called) in the color "Sweetheart". I really like this product because it has great pigmentation, the color is really pretty and stays for a long time.

Lastly from Revlon I got to of their very famous lip butters.

Lip Butters in "Strawberry shortcake" and "Cotton candy"

From Covergirl I got their lash blast waterproof mascara and a single eyeshadow in the color "French vanilla" that I'm going to use as a highlight because I don't like wasting my "virgin" from the Naked palette.

My most expensive purchases were these three things: 2 blushes and a primer. The first blush is "Hervana" by Benefit and the other one is the Amazonian Clay 12-hour blush in "Dollface" from Tarte. The primer is Too Faced Shadow Insurance (which I actually didn't get while I was there, I got it online).

Because I bought a Benefit blush they gave me these 2 things for free. One is just an eye mask thing that says "beautification in progress" and the other one is a primer sample called "Stay don't stray".

As far as nail polish goes I got 3 but I wanted to get more. Anyway, I didn't want to look like a crazy person and I didn't want my mom to be mad at me, so that's why I only got three.

Essie's "Cute as a button", "Mojito madness" and "Shop till you drop"

Last but not least I got a body mist from the Pink line at Victoria's Secret and another one of the EOS lip balms.

I'm sorry this was pretty long, but hopefully you liked it anyway :)
