January Favorites • 2014

Hi guys! Today as a way to start the year I am writing a January Favorites! So sit back and enjoy!































↠ Beauty & Makeup Favorites ↞

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock (SPF 50)
I run from monday to friday, and I need something to protect my skin from the sun. I have sensitive skin, and when I'm in the sun without SPF, I get this horrible sunburns that hurt a lot :( I found that this sun block is amazing and I get no sunburns after, it resists my sweat and doesn't move.


VICHY Purete Thermale 3 in 1
I have a sample size that my mom gave me. I use this as a makeup remover. I really enjoy it using when I have not that much make up to waste a makeup remover towelette so I use a bit of these in a cotton round. It leaves my skin feeling clean, NO GREASY, which I really like.

Eucerin Aquaphor Lip Repair
This is kinda like a lip medication without smell and it works wonders. Leaves your lips feeling really soft and moisturized.

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink
I think this base is perfect for everyday makeup, it looks really natural and glowy.

Essie Nail polishes in "lady like", "no more film" and "bikini so teeny"
I've been rotating these three nail polishes on my nails. Bikini so teeny is perfect for the toes! Lady like is perfect for an elegant and simple look, and no more film is a perfect all around color!

↠ Other Favorites ↞


The Fosters
I really like this show because the plot is so different from any tv series I've seen! Totally recommend it!


Pretty Little Liars
So PLL is back! I have been feeling like the series gave a new whole twist with Ezra being A. Now the series feels more creepier! haha


Escape Plan
Amazing movie with a great plot and actors! A lot of action!


Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
Cute movie and really funny!


The Terminal
Awesome movie with Tom Hanks in it! I cried so much in this movie!


↠ Music ↞
I've been loving Margaux Avril. I'm not french nor I speak it! Even though I barely understand her french songs, I really like them! My favorite being her cover of "You only live once "by The Strokes because I before finding her cover I have been loving this song!

☆ Best of 2013 ☆

I am back!! And you have probably heard that thousands of times in my blog, but now that a new year is starting I'm putting my hopes up and trying to start blogging again, because I really enjoy it!

Well let's get to the point here! Today I'm doing my top 13 products of 2013! Also I am sharing others favorites too, such as tv, movies, etc! Some of them may be pretty obvious! Grab a cup of tea and continue reading!
























Maybelline Color Tattoos 
I freakin love these! They are so easy to use, they look like you spent a really long time doing your make up when you really just spent 30 seconds applying it! They have a great selection of colors; I own 3 of them: Bad to the bronze, Barely Branded and Inked in Pink!

Urban Decay Naked 2
Well, what can I say... this palette is amazing, I love it. Has the perfect amount of matte and shimmer! My favs are: Bootycall, Tease and Busted.

Macadamia Deep Repair Masque
THIS is one of my holy grail products. This is a hair masque that I use as a conditioner once a week. It leaves your hair extremely soft and moisturized. The smell is heavenly, and let me tell you, this wasn't cheap, but oh boy, this was worth the money. And also this lasts really long!

Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara
This is a very lengthening, though not so voluminous, which is admittedly drawback for some people. Personally I don't look for volume, because I really like a mascara that looks natural and not clumpy. It's a nice consistency, great formula, and separates and coats individual lashes quite well.

Lush I Love Juicy Shampoo
I have raved about this for a long time. This shampoo is amazing. It's smells awesome and it cleans your hair perfectly without drying it out. I have repurchased this thousands of times!

L'oreal Color Riche Balm
This are definitely an all time favorite lip product! It gives you that perfect natural hint of glossiness that isn't going to glue itself to your hair + they moisturize your lips! I already own 4 of these!

Tangle Teezer Brush
If you have hair you need one of these! I cannot quite believe it but its true, it goes through the most knotty, damaged, fragile hair, with no tugging, pulling or breakage! This is a holy grail product for me!

Benefit Eye Bright
This is an all around awesome product! There are so many uses for it, like on your brow bone, as an eyeliner, on the inner corner, as cream eye shadow, etc. Great consistency!

L'oreal Nude Magique BB Concealer 
I think this product is totally under rated. The formula is liquid, BUT there is a roll on applicator that helps not to pour too much product. I just use it to hide dark circles and it works wonders!

L'occitane Angelica Hydration Cream
This is a holy grail product for me. It's completely amazing. Good smell, sinks in, not greasy, and I could continue with good things about it.

Maybelline Baby Lips in Grape Vine
This shade specifically I love. It gives a really sheer tint to your lips, with great smell and moisture.

OPI "Lincoln Park After Dark" Nail Polish
This is a dark purple almost black. It looks beautiful when it's worn. Nice quality, the brush is the perfect size, and the application is nice too.

Benefit They're Real! Mascara
This product is the best, it separates my lashes, makes them look fuller and longer. It also holds my lashes in place after curling them.

OTHER FAVS OF 2013

Perfume: VS Heavenly

Drinks: Water and any Whittard instant tea

TV Shows: Pretty Little Liars,(Runner up: Criminal Minds)

Movies: Impossible to answer, but here are some on top of my head. Stuck in Love, Catching Fire, The Internship, Silver Linings, etc.

October Favorites • 2013


HI GUUUUUUUYS!! I am again late, but you know we are finishing the year so we are almost! I have been so busy lately, and I promise that I haven't forget you, it's just that the days need more hours (he he)!!
I decided to do october and november favorites in two different posts because I've already taken the pictures for the october post!! Well, hope you enjoy!!

 
Colgate Luminous White Tooth Paste
This toothpaste is freaking amazing! I hate tooth pastes that are extremely minty because they make me cry, ha ha, but this paste is minty but in the perfect quantity! Also it leaves your teeth whiter!

VS Dream Angels Heavenly Perfume
I love this scent! It's a warm scent with floral smells and a touch of seduction! Perfect for everyday scent! it makes me feel very clean and feminine. I love feeling clean and that alone makes this scent quite comforting. I only do one spray a day because it is overpowering and for me I can still smell at at the end of the day!

Revlon Kabuki Brush
I use this brush for powder application and it works wonders! Its soft and dense to provide me with a nice decent coverage. Doesn't feel scratchy at the slightest! It's a great brush for the affordable price!

 Nivea Kiss lip butter // in Caramel Kiss
It does what it's supposed to. Moisturises well and leaves lips feeling soft. I put it on at night to prevent overnight drying of my lips. I didn't expect the containers to have so much lip butter in them, they last for a long time and they smell really good. Not much of a flavor to them though 

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact // in Rose
This is gorgeous applied as a stand alone blush to the apples of my cheeks. Also it works wonderfully as an eyeshadow palette! Very pretty, unique product, and the lightest strip particularly makes a great highlighter. The consistency is super soft and blendable. Expect a review for this product in the future!

SpaRitual nail polish // in Delight
This nail polish brand I discovered one day with my cousin! We investigate it a bit more about and we learn that this was a vegan and DBP, Formaldehyde and Toluene free! It's really creamy and it lasts for a long time! I love this color specially, but I have to say that you need 4 coats!


Favorite Movies:


The Call
A great movie for action and suspense! If you like movies like Taken, you are going to love this! It keeps you on the edge of your seat all the time! Great casting as well!



John Tucker must die
A great chick flick movie! Really funny and entertaining! 


The Internship
Amazing moviee! Wonderful casting, really funny! Love it!



Stuck In Love
Definitely one of my all time favorites! Made me laugh and cry! Perfect romantic movie! Great plot and casting!

How time flies, right? Yep, I know I sound like an old lady, but it's true, we are almost at the end of the year and I can't believe it! Today I'm doing to monthly favorites in one, yeah, I know I'm a bit late, but better late than ever! I promise that next monthly favorites are going to be on time!



Urban Decay Lip Junkie // in Naked
So I got this lipgloss with my naked 2 palette, I started wearing it recently and I love it! It has like a minty flavor and a great color that matches every lip color! 

Estee Lauder nail polish // in Berry Desire
This is like my first high end nail polish! I tried it and it is amazing! It has more of a liquid consistency rather than thick. The color is exactly what the bottle shows!

Benefit Benetint
I have the mini version that I got on a set! I wasn't expecting much, but when I tried it, I totally fell in love with it! It has an awesome smell! I would totally buy the full version!

Benefit "They are real" mascara
This joined the group of my favorite mascaras! All the rave it's true, this mascara is amazing! The texture and the brush make everything! I am totally buying this again!



Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette
I didn't use this for a long time until now! I started trying new looks with this palette and I am loving it! Obviously, knowing myself, I just use the neutral shadows!

Yankee Candle // in Home Sweet Home
Bath & Body work's candle are still my favs, I just wanted to try a new brand! The smell of this candle is just so cozy! This candle is not as strong as other candles! 

L'oreal Ever Sleek Leave-In Cream
I have used this for a really long time! I love how it leaves my hair! Also it is sulfate free; I apply it when i get out of the shower and my hair is towel dried!

July Favorites • 2013

And we are in August! How time flies, right?
Today I am showing you my favs for the past month! I don't have a lot, but hope you enjoy!


 Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara // in Very Black
I really like this mascara! Firstly because I'm a sucker for lengthening mascaras (umm...covergirl lash blast length, maybelline illegal length, don't you see a pattern there!). This mascara makes your lashes big and separated! I really don't know which one I prefer yet, the covergirl or the maybelline one!

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter // in Sugar Plum
I'm a sucker for berry colors as well, and this is the perfect berry color, it's not super dramatic nor super sheer! 

OPI Nail Polish // Lincoln Park After Dark
THIS NAIL POLISH IS THE BOMB.COM! I would repurchase this color over and over again! It has a perfect consistency and a perfect color!

Victoria's Secret Ultimate Look Shadow Trio // in Royal
I always come back to this trio! I think I like it because of the colors! They compliment really good with my skin and my eye color (green)! 






























Bath & Body Works Body Lotion // in Dark Kiss
I have decided, my favorite smell for body lotion and body spray is Dark Kiss! It's just amazing, it's sweet, sexy and perfect, all at the same time!

Whittard Flavour Instant Tea // in Damson Plum
Another Whittard tea, I know, I'm kinda obsessed! This flavour is really different from any of the other ones, I almost feel like I'm drinking flowers!

Favorite TV Shows and Movies:


Pretty Little Liars // Season 4
Obviously, this has to be one of my favorites! The new season is AMAZING!


The Vampire Diaries // Season 1
I started watching the vampire diaries, and wasn't expecting that much, I'm not a fan of the vampire phase, but I gave it a chance! And know I'm just hooked on it!


Hangover Part III
What a great movie! I have watched every single hangover movie, so I had tow watch this one! No comments, in my opinion, the best one!


Prom
Just a cute movie I watched when I was bored! I have to say that I was really impressed, I didn't expect a lot for this movie!


Pacific Rim
Another movie I wasn't interested in! My dad wanted to watch it, so I watch it with him, and I have to says that I was shocked, it was REALLY GOOD!

☼ Light Summer Makeup ☼

Hi guys! Today I'm doing my light summer makeup routine! Showing you step by step my routine and my staples for a light look! Hope you enjoy!



1.- Apply a light brightening concealer. I apply my Maybelline Age Rewind (which I love) in my under eye circles and a little farther in my face for a bright look!

2.- Apply powder. I apply an old Revlon Colorstay Powder (which I'm almost out) in my face. This helps setting the concealer.

3.- Apply a cream eyeshadow. I'm using my NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Yoghurt,which is a really pretty champagne color, perfect for the lid!

4.- Apply a light color to the inner corner. I'm using another NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cottage Cheese, which is a pearl color.

5.- Apply eyeliner. I'm using just an old eyeliner that I have, you can use any black or brown eyeliner you have! The trick is to lightly apply it on the outer lower lashes for a fuller look!

6.- Apply your favorite waterproof mascara. Here I applied two of my favorites, Covergirl LashBlast Length in Black/Brown and Lancome Virtuose Mascara. Apply to lower and upper lashes!

7.- Apply a tinted lip balm. Here I was deciding between 2 of my favorite tinted lip balms, L'oreal Color Riche Lip balm in Rose Elixir and Maybelline Baby Lips in Grape Vine.


And my look is complete! What are your makeup staples for the summer?
