Steffany's Choice Best Of Beauty 2013: My Favorite Concealers!!


I cant believe 2013 is almost over this year flew by so fast! This year has been huge for me personally and professionally, I also tried soooo many products that it was hard to keep up with he reviews. This year I went concealer crazy I just wanted to try every single raved about concealer out there and test them my self and while a few were really good most sucked for me! I did however find five amazing concealers that do an excellent job at concealing! 

No puedo creer 2013 está casi terminado este año pasó volando tan rápido! Este año ha sido muy importante para mí personalmente y profesionalmente, también probé muchos productos que era difícil mantenerse al día con él. Este año me dedique a encontrar buenos correctores y ponerlas a prueba y mientras algunos estaban muy bien otros fueron fatales! Sin embargo he encontrado cinco correctores increíbles que hacen un excelente trabajo en ocultar las imperfecciones.

 Cle De Peu has been my favorite concealer for two years now and I 'll tell you why; it conceals and brightens like no other! What makes this concealer even better is that it seriously does not crease or fade! I have used it alone, over and under foundations and its just flawless. 

CLE De Peu es el primero en mi lista porque es increíble en serio! Este ha sido mi favorito corrector hace dos años y te diré por qué; ¡ oculta mis ojeras y aclara esta area! ¿Qué hace este corrector mejor es que en serio no arrugue o se desvanecen! Lo he usado solo, sobre y bajo base y su impecable solo.

Pros: 
The coverage
No Creasing
No Fading 

Cons:
Price!!
Color Selection





Another one on my favorites is MAC pro long wear, this is a great concealer the coverage is excellent, and its just a tad bit lighter then my skin tone but the same undertones which helps it look flawless but 'natural'. Its also my favorite to use on brides and on my self when taking flash photography since it has no flashback!

Otro de mis favoritos es MAC pro long wear, esto es un gran corrector la cobertura es excelente, y es un poco un poco más claro que mi tono de piel pero el mismo trasfondo que ayuda a una apariencia impecable pero 'natural'. Es también mi favorito para usar en las novias y en mi mismo cuando se toman fotografías con flash ya no tiene ningún retroceso!

Pros: 
You get a lot for your money
Coverage
Longevity
Color options! 

Cons:
Product waste; The pump makes it hard to control how much product you use, I always end up taking too much! 



Maybelline really outdid themselves with this concealer its honestly one of the best and the fact that its "drugstore" product is what makes it even better. This product also claims it conceals but also "corrects" meaning that with constant use it will help fade dark circles. I dont know if its true but if it does even better! 

Maybelline realmente superó ellos mismos con este corrector sinceramente uno de los mejores y el precio es lo que la hace aún mejor. Este producto también afirma que oculta pero también 'corrige' lo que significa que con el uso constante ayudará a desaparecer ojeras. No sé si es cierto pero si lo hace aún mejor!

Pros: 
Coverage
Brightens
Added Benefits
Price

Cons:
Doesnt look "natural" on pictures



Can you tell how much I LOVE this concealer? well lets just say this is my second one this year I empty out completely. Bobbi Brown know her stuff she really makes some of the best makeup products and this might be one of my favorites from her. I love this for how natural and perfecty matches my skin tone, but has a hint of salmon which helps cancel out the hideous HUGE veins around my eyes! This is my makeup bag essential!! 

¿Pueden ver cuánto amo este corrector? Bueno digamos que esta es mi segunda en este año que uso completamente. Bobbi Brown sabe sus cosas realmente hace algunos de los mejores productos de maquillaje y esto podría ser uno de mis favoritos de ella. Me encanta esto para partidos como naturales y perfecto con mi tono de piel, pero tiene una sugerencia de salmón que ayuda a cancela las venas enormes horribles alrededor de los ojos! Este es mi bolso de maquillaje esencial!!

Pros: 
Coverage
Packaging
Color range
Longevity
Natural Look 

Cons: 
Price



I slowly but surely fell in love with this concealer its excellent at covering my dark circles and it really doesn't crease! My only problem with this is the packaging is not to my liking, the tube feels like its empty and when you squeeze it sometimes more product then you need comes out! But this baby right hear COVERS so much you really wont believe just a little tiny drop of this stuff is all I use an it just covers and brightens my tired eyes! 

Lenta pero seguramente caí enamorado con este corrector su excelente a cubrir mis ojeras y realmente no arrugue! Mi único problema con esto es el embalaje no es de mi agrado, el tubo se siente vacío y cuando aprietas suele a salir mas producto de la cuenta! Pero este bebe con sólo una pequeña gota cubre mis ojeras y aclara mis ojos cansados!

Pros:
Coverage
No creasing
Waterproof
Looks great in pictures
A little goes a LONG way!
Added antioxidants and benefits

Cons:
The packaging 


Good Luck/ Buenas Suerte! Xxx

Drugstore Product Of The Week: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Concealer!

Left Tor Right: Medium And Neutralizer
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Concealer ($9.99) is a super-concentrated and pigmented liquid concealer combined with goji berry and haloxyl to help erase the appearance of dark circles and puffiness around the eyes. It has a unique tube design in that when you twist the top, product will be released in the round, squishy applicator sponge.

Available in (6) shades: Fair, Light, Medium, Honey, Neutralizer and Brightener. Although the neutralizer shade can be used on it's own, it's also recommended for extreme dark circles to apply underneath your regular concealer for maximum coverage. The brightener shade is pink based used to brighten up areas of the eyes and face. Neutralizer is a light peachy yellow color. It applys slightly lighter than it looks in the tube, but works amazing when blended with the concealer on top.The medium shade is the best match for me.

You have to twist the tube several times to get it going at first and thereafter a small amount is dispersed with each twist. You can apply it to your undereyes with the sponge directly, or you can wipe the product off with your finger to apply or wipe the product off with a concealer brush. I like using it directly from the tube.

Overall, I love this concealer as the coverage is very good and I think it's just an overall great product. I love the little sponge and although it might not be so hygienic. I wish the product itself was a little creamier and had a more natural finish. But I still think from the many drugstore concealers I've tried, this is one of the better ones. I think it's also a good concealer if you're going for the light under eye/Kim K. concealer look. I find that it holds up really well throughout the day without fading which is my favorite part about it. 

The Conclusion

Pros: 
  • Great high medium to full coverage
  • Easy to apply
  • Highlights and brightens the under-eyes
  • Blends well
  • Lightweight - doesn't look or feel heavy
  • Lasts all day without creasing
Cons: 
  • Can have the tendency to look dry under the eyes - make sure to moisturize prior. Because of this, it might not work the best for those with very dry under eyes or for those with lots of fine lines. (Results will of course vary though!)
  • Sets quickly and after it sets it can be difficult to work with
  • Not the best color selection, especially for those with dark skin
  • The sponge applicator isn't completely hygienic and it can be difficult to clean
Good Luck! Xxx

Left ToRight/ Izquierda A derecha: Neutralizer, Concealer Medium!

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Corrector De Ojeras: Es un super-concentrado líquido corrector y pigmentadas combinado con goji berry y haloxyl para eliminar la apariencia de las ojeras y las bolsas alrededor de los ojos. Tiene un único diseño de tubo en que cuando se gira la parte superior, el producto será lanzado en la ronda, yoyo esponja aplicadora.

Disponible en (6) Tonos:  Incluyendo un neutralizador y blanqueadores. A pesar de que la sombra del neutralizador puede utilizarse por sí mismo, también es recomendable para las ojeras para aplicar corrector debajo de su ordinario para conseguir la máxima cobertura. El blanqueador es de color rosa utilizado para iluminar las zonas de los ojos y la cara. Neutralizador es una luz color durazno amarillo. Que apliques un poco más ligero de lo que parece en el tubo, pero funciona increíble cuando se los combina con el corrector en la parte superior. El color medium es la mejor para mí tono de piel.

Tienes que girar el tubo varias veces al principio para que el producto suba a la esponja y posteriormente una pequeña cantidad se dispersa con cada giro. Se puede aplicar a su ojeras con la esponja directamente, o bien puede eliminar el producto con el dedo para aplicar o eliminar el producto con una escobilla encubridora. Yo prefiero usar directamente del tubo, como creo que es la manera más fácil de usar este producto.

En general, me encanta este corrector con una ampliación de la cobertura es muy buena y creo que es en general es un gran producto. Me encanta la pequeña esponja y a pesar de que puede no ser tan higiénico. Deseo que el producto en sí era un poco más espesa y acabado natural. Pero aún creo que la de muchas farmacias encubridores que he probado, este es uno de los mejores. Yo creo que también es un buen corrector si vas para la luz debajo de ojos/ al estilo de Kim K. Me parece que tiene una capacidad muy bien durante todo el día sin decolorarse que es mi parte favorita.

Pros:
  • muy alta mediana o plena cobertura
  • es muy fácil de aplicar
  • mezcla bien los ojos
  • ligeros, no verse o sentirse fuerte
  • dura todo el día sin arrugarse
Desventajas:

  •  Puede tener la tendencia a observar debajo de los ojos secos - asegúrese de hidratar antes. Debido a esto, puede ser que no funcione lo mejor para personas con  los ojos secos o para aquellos con un montón de líneas finas. (Los resultados varían, por supuesto!).
  • Establece rápidamente y después de que se puede ser difícil trabajar con ella
  • no es la mejor selección de color, especialmente para los que tienen la piel oscura
  • El aplicador de esponja no es completamente higiénico y puede ser difícil de limpiar
Buenas Suerte! Xxx

Product Rave/Producto Que Me Encanta: Maybelline New York Color Show!


I dont think I own any Maybelline nail polishes, and for these colors to be the first I might become obsessed. I went to cvs late last night and grabbed these three colors, I could not wait to try them on. I woke up early morning and did my nails. These colors are absolutely beautiful, they go on smoothly evenly and highly pigmented. The colors compliment my tone in a beautiful way and dry very fast. I am completely happy with this purchase and look forward to trying out more Maybelline nail products! 

Good Luck! Xxx

No creo que soy el dueño de cualquier esmaltes de uñas Maybelline, y para que estos colores ser el primero podría convertirme en obsesionada. Fui a cvs ayer por la noche y tome estos tres colores, no podía esperar para probármelos. Me levanté temprano en la mañana e hice mis uñas. Estos colores son absolutamente hermosos, van suavemente y uniformemente y altamente pigmentadas. Los colores complementan mi tono de una manera hermosa y seca muy rápido. Estoy completamente feliz con esta compra y deseosos de probar más productos para las uñas Maybelline!

Review Time: Maybelline Baby Lips!




No Flash (Right Pink Punch/ Left Cherry Me)

With Flash (Right Pink Punch/ Left Cherry Me)
What They Say:

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
No more basic lip balm:

PRODUCT DETAILS

• Visibly renewed lips and 8-hr hydration
• The secret: Exclusive lip renew formula with SPF 20
• Protects and moisturizes lips for a full 8 hours
• After 4 weeks, lips are visibly renewed and  reborn
• 6 varieties
What I Say:
I was very open minded when I began to try this product, I really wanted it to work since my lips have been the driest they have ever been! So I have been trying this product non stop for almost 3 weeks now, and I must say that as nice as they smell and look on your lips they do not do as promise.... 
Pros:
  • Smell
  • Spf 20 
  • Affordable $4
  • Cute Packaging
Cons:
  • They do not offer 8 hours of hydration, not even a full hour to be honest.
  • I haven't used them for 4 weeks but doubt any miracles happening, since they can even keep my lips moist for over an hour.
  • Needs to be constantly reapplied. 
  • Waxy feel on my lips and found that my lips felts drier then before using these
Overall:
  • Not for me, To be fare my lips have given me a beaten this year. I have to constantly use home made scrubs to keep them cracking that how dry the are so maybe if your lips are not too dry they might do wonders for you.  I thought these might be good since they claim to have clinical strength, but everything is not what it seems I'll be sticking to my DIY and Aquaphor ;)  Good Luck Xxx

Review Time: Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo Eyeshadow!

  I was strolling around Walmart when I came across these eyeshadows. What caught my eyes at first was the packaging, and so I decided to pick up two out of the three colors they had available, and boy am I glad I did!! I went home and played around with the them a little but it wasn't until I decided to really give them a try and wore (pomegranate punk) alone with no other eye makeup and spent the day running around, I even cleaned my kitchen! and at the end of the night.... absolutely PERFECT, no creasing, no running and no fading! I was so happy that I went out the next day in search of the other 8 shades. I am so happy with this purchase, they are by far the best drugstore makeup I have bought in a LONG time. I cant recommend these enough.

Pros:

  • Great staying power. I wore these alone, no primer or powder on top and they did not move at all. 
  • Versatile you can use them as a base for your powder e/s or alone.
  • Price!! Less then $10 and you could even get them cheaper if you get coupons!
  • Great Packaging
  • A lot of color Options
  • Very Pigmented, the colors go on true to what they look like on the pot. 
Cons:
  • NONE!!!



 From Left To Right:
Tough As Taupe
Fierce & Tangy
Painted Purple
Too Cool
Tenacious Teal
Audacious Asphalt

From Left To Right:
Bold Gold
Pomegranate Punk
Edgy Emerald
Bad To The Bronze

Please note that I give every product the chance to work, I would never give a product a review without trying the product a few times... With that being said, I LOVE THESE!!! Good Luck Xxx

Drugstore Find!

 I am obsessed with eyeliner–the blacker, the better! And of course, since I have tried several dozens, I am really picky with eyeliner! My favorite all time has been the Clinique Brush-On Cream Liner, but the Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner is a close second! I love it for a number of reasons, from it’s ease of use to it’s super long-lasting wear, I love it and highly recommend it! Good Luck Xxx
