Gerard Cosmetics Long Wear Hydra Matte Liquid Lipstick Review!

Gerard cosmetics makes some of my favorite lipsticks, and lip glosses, so when they came out with these liquid lipsticks I knew they were going to be good. Well they are more than good, they are awesome! I really can't rave these enough and they always come up with great promotions so I always wait for that before I buy anything. 

These liquid lipsticks are amazing, I completely over looked the "hydra" part but as soon as I applied it I felt the difference. They are hydrating and matte at the same time which is a plus! The colors are absolutely beautiful, wearable and long lasting. Make sure to follow Gerard Cosmetics on Instagram so you can catch their promotion codes and save some mula and if you don't already, follow me too!

Marc Jacobs The Sofia Five-Piece Petites Le Marc Lip Creme Collection Review

I saw this Marc Jacobs five-piece lipstick set and I knew it was a must have. The quality of these lipsticks are awesome and very moisturizing. This is the perfect gift to give to a lipstick lover in your life. The shades are all beautiful and wearable and long lasting.

Lipland Amrezy Liquid Lipstick Review!

If you have Instagram and are into makeup, than you have heard of Amrezy AKA Glamrezy. I started following her a few years back and its amazing to see how far she has come, first with an eyeshadow palette and now lipstick. The sky is the limit for this beauty, I am one to support and root for anyone thats trying to take their dreams and make them a reality. 

Lipland and Amrezy collaborated to create three beautiful liquid lipstick and they really did a great job, the colors are beautiful, super pigmented, and long lasting. The colors glide on smoothly and dries to a matte finish. If you follow me on Instagram (please do) I posted a video showing how long lasting it is, even after I had to scrub it off my arm with a loofa a more soap!

I love fit and flare style dresses, they are flattering to my body (and most) shapes. This one in particular is from one of my favorite online shops and its under $50!! The color is loud enough so I paired it with nude heels and trench coat.

My First Impressions/ Mi Primera Impresion: Gerard Cosmetics

 I can't tell you how many times I had a cart filled with Gerard Cosmetics products and for whatever reason I never finalized the purchase. I recently started creating wishlists and these were next on the list. My first impression was pure happiness because the packaging is SOOO gorgeous and they are GOLD!! The actual product is absolutely beautiful and all the rave I have seen is well worth it, the pigmentation is great and long lasting. I also purchased the BB Plus illuminating facial cream and its a great product and very versatile it can be used with my foundation for a gorgeous glow or on top to highlight. 

No les puedo decir las veces que intente comprar estos labiales y por una razón o otra nunca los compre. Empece hacer listas de las cosas que quiero comprar y por fin compre estas bellezas. Mi primer impresión fue pura alegría al ver lo hermoso que es el empaque y en color oro! El producto en  es fenomal aplica parejo y los colores son preciosos. También compre crema iluminadora y me encanta puedo usarla mezclada con mi base para un brillo leve o arriba de mi base para un highlight mas intenso. Definitivamente fue una buena compra!

Dupe Of The Week: Lime Crime Babette

NYX $6 VS Lime Crime $18

I get so excited when I come across a great dupe, specially when the price difference is so big but theres no sacrifice in the quality. Lime Crime makes some really gorgeous products and the color Babette is definitely on of their hottest best selling lipstick. I don't know about you but  if I hadn't applied it myself on my arm I wouldn't be able to tell them apart. What do you guys think about this dupe? 

Me emociona descubrir un clon a mis productos favoritos y mas aun si son mas baratos y asequibles. La marca de cosméticos Lime Crime tiene unos del los productos de labios mas hermosos que hay en el mercado y uno de esos sin duda es el color Babette. Por suerte les encontré uno que sin duda casi idéntico pero $12 Dólares mas barato. La marca NYX no se queda atrás en crear productos excelentes pero a un precio mucho mas comodo y se consiguen en mas lugares. Que opinan ustedes de este clon que les encontré?

Drugstore Product Of the Week/ Producto Ganga De La Semana: L'Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder

I have been on the hunt for a great drugstore foundation to use to contour. I find that using a foundation instead of bronzers to contour really gives you the most flawless and natural finish. It's also easier since all you are doing is using the darker foundation on the outside of your face and everywhere you want to contour then you just apply the foundation that matches your skin tone in the center of your face and blend outwards to meet and blend the darker color. 

This foundation is really nice, so nice that I'm going to go purchase another one but in my actual skin tone to see if I like it as much. To contour, this color and the concistency of it works perfectly. The foundation is truly liquidy and after you apply it and blended it out it sets into a flawless matte smooth finish. The only complain I have is that the container is glass, Which means I have to be extra careful in not dropping it. 

This foundation comes in 12 shades, and offers an spf of 18 which its also a plus! Have you tried this foundation before? I also want to know whats you favorite technique to contour. 

He estado a la caza de una base para el contorno. Me parece que el uso de una base en lugar de los bronceadores de contorno realmente le da la más perfecta y acabado natural. También es más fácil ya que todo lo que tiene que hacer es utilizar la base más oscuro en la parte exterior de su cara y cualquier lugar que quiera, a continuación, que acaba de contorno aplicar la base que coincide con su tono de la piel en el centro de su cara y mezcla hacia fuera para reunirse y mezcla el color más oscuro.

Esta base es realmente bonito, por lo bien que me voy a ir comprar uno pero en mi tono de piel para ver si me gusta mucho. En contorno, este color y la consistencia que tiene funciona a la perfección. La base es verdaderamente bien aguada y después de aplicarlo y mezclado que establece en un perfecto acabado liso mate. La única queja que tengo es que el envase es de cristal, lo que significa que tienen que ser más cuidadosos en no dejar caer.

Esta base viene en 12 colores, y ofrece un spf de 18, que es un plus! ¿Has probado esta base antes? yo también quiero saber que técnica es tu favorita de contorno.

Good Luck/ Buenas Suerte! Xxx

My Holy BB!

I'm sure must of you know what a BB creme is, or what its supposed to do for your skin. For those of you who don't, in short BB creams are all-in-one product meant to save you multiple steps and help you achieve a "flawless" healthy look by providing, sun protection, anti oxidants, moisture, and color. To be completely honest this is not always the case, as the amounts of bb creams I have personally tested I can tell you that I had almost given up on the BB cream hype. That is until I came across Dior's BB Creme. I hesitated at first but still asked for a sample to take home and try, I figured why not! I am so glad I did, I am honestly in love with this BB cream, more in love than any of my other foundations to be honest. It's so pigmented that it almost looks like a foundation, but it feels so light on I cant believe I have anything on. It only comes in four shades, and I happened to match 003 perfectly, I cant wait to try more of Dior Nude collection and hopefully you can too! Do you have a favorite BB Cream I should try?

Estoy seguro que deben de saber lo que es una BB crema, o lo que su supone que va a hacer para su piel. Para quienes no lo conozcan, en resumen BB cremas es un producto todo-en-uno destinados a ahorrar varios pasos y te ayudará a lograr un "impecable" aspecto saludable en tu tono de piel, protección solar, anti oxidantes, la hidratación y color. Para ser completamente honesto, esto no es siempre el caso, dado que las cantidades de las cremas bb que yo personalmente he probado puedo decirle que casi había renunciado. Esto es, hasta que me topé con Dior BB creme. pedí una muestra para llevar a casa y probar, me di cuenta por qué no todas estavan mal. Yo estoy muy contenta de haber encontrado esta BB Creme.  Es muy pigmentada que casi parece una base, pero se siente tan ligero en la cara que pensaras que no te pusiste nada. Sólo se ofrece en cuatro colores, y me coinciden con 003 perfectamente, no puedo esperar para probar más de Dior Nude. ¿Tiene un favorito BB Crema que deba probar?

Good Luck, Buenas Suerte! Xxx

My Top 5 Essie Nude Colors!

From Left To Right: Mamba, Sugar Daddy, Blanc, Sand Tropez, Limo-Scene

I love me some nail polish, I used to change my nail color every other day. This changed as soon as I started school, since I'm not allowed to wear bright colors. So I have been stocking up on some "neutral" nail polishes. What I love the most about these colors is that they are not boring. This colors are all beautiful and complement my natural coloring. They also have amazing staying power which is important now more then ever because my hands are always getting wet. Essie really makes the best nail polishes ever in my opinion! Good Luck Xxx

Drugstore Find!

 I can spend hours in the beauty counters and even longer in the drugstore ones they always either have amazing sales or very cheap prizes.  I love discovering great lipstick or foundation without actually trying them on before. It's kinda like a treasure hunt! When given the choice to choose between lipstick and lip gloss, I can say with confidence, lip gloss is what I use almost every time, especially when I’m doing a nude lip! It’s no secret that I looooove nude lips! They are my favorite! Revlon makes some of my favorite lip glosses and all of their colors are great, not only their nude, but the Revlon Superlustrous Lip Gloss in Peach Petal is always in my makeup bag! If you like the NARS Turkish Delight, it’s very similar but a tad less pink and more peach, and half the prize!!! Good Luck Xxx
