My Easy Glam Makeup Look Using All My 2017 Favorite Makeup!

I am so happy to be back you guys, I took a quick pause on blogging so that I can get my house back to normal. My biggest challenge as a work from home mother of four is time managing and well the laundry was starting to pile, and the mess was just too much to handle. I also found that because the house was not to the standards I like to keep it in, my creativity was down. 

A good o'l cleaning happened and bam! I finally edited a video, the main purpose of it apart from trying to dust some cobwebs off is to show case my favorite products of 2017. I will be playing around with different length and styles, please tell me which ones you guys like the best.

The Best Concealers For Covering Dark Circles, Blemishes, And Tattoos!

I think we can all agree when I say that concealer is THE most important makeup we use, specially if like me you have dark circles or any blemish, scar or even tattoo you want to cover. I was going thru my makeup stash, organizing and getting rid of some colors that no longer work for me and decided to share with you all my most used concealer of all times on my self and clients. I will list them in no particular order.

The one thing these concealers all have in common is they carry that perfect peachy tone that is necessary to cancel out (blue) dark circles. The second thing they all have in common is they are super pigmented which means a little bit goes a looooong way. Last but not least they are all available in stores and have a great range of colors...... Now to the breakdown of each one:

1. Nars Concealer is creamy, long-wearing, crease-resistant, and ultra-light yet opaque helps me achieve a flawless finish. I have replaced this concealer twice and for me that a big deal! 
2. Mac Studio Conceal and Correct palette is perfect to use on my clients, but I purchased one for personal use as well. With this palette I can rest assure to always have the right colors and whats even better it comes with two color correcting colors, the yellow one is great for brightening and the orange for canceling out dark circles. 
3. Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer.... remember I said a little goes a long way with these concealers, well with this one you definitely want to ha a light hand, or you will be blending forever! 
4. Kat Von D Lock- it Concealer is my go to for super heavy coverage, like tattoos and scars, for dark circles not so much on me personally but my super oily skin clients RAVE about it. Its super pigmented, water and transfer resistant.
5. Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit this is my go to for a quick and fuss free makeup application, it blends smoothly. It does a good job at canceling out and brightening my dark circles and blending in with the rest of my face. 
6. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer, the name of this product says it all! Its an all in one, conceal and treat your dark circles. I love using this anytime I feel like skipping a few steps in my beauty routine. It cancels out my dark circles and sets fairly quick which helps it not crease. 

The number one question I always get asked is how to avoid creasing, and while these concealers are great if you don't set them (or any) with powder they will move through the day. My next post will be all about setting powders ;) 

My 3 Most And Least Used Makeup Palettes/ Mis Paletas De Maquillaje Mas Y menos Usadas!

I must confess that in the process of doing this post for you guys I started to feel VERY embarrassed with the amount of money I have invested in makeup and I really only use a handful of them. I want to share with you my three most used makeup palette which unintentionally a three happen to be from the same brand. 

I have reviewed all of these so this is pretty much a recap on why these are my favorite, and no matter what I always reach out for them for one color or all. 

Debo confesar que en el proceso de hacer este post para ustedes comencé a sentirme muy incómoda con la cantidad de dinero que eh invertido en maquillaje y la verdad es que utiliso sólo un puñado de ellos. Quiero compartir con ustedes mi paleta de maquillaje  más utilizados.

He revisado todos estos por lo tanto, este es bastante más que un resumen de por qué estos son mis favoritos.

Urban Decay Original Naked Palette

This is in my opinion one of the best palettes ever made, I love every single color and the consistency and pigmentation are excellent. The only point i will take off is the packaging is not great to travel with because it doesn't close securely.

Esta es en mi opinión uno de los mejores paletas hecho jamás, me encanta todos los colores y la coherencia y la pigmentación son excelentes. Lo único que quisiera es el envase no es genial viajar porque no se cierra correctamente.

From Let To Right: Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Darkhorse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep, Gunmetal

My Favorite colors from the Naked Palette are/ Esto son mis colores favoritos: Virgin, Naked, Buck, Half Baked, Hustle and Gunmetal.

Urban Decay Naked Palette 2

When the naked 2 palette came out I was not very excited or rushed to try it out. I honestly was not expecting to like it at all. I was so wrong and this one is the second palette I had to buy because I finished some of these colors. I travel everywhere with this and use it on my clients all the time. One main reason this one ranks higher then the original naked is the palette seals shut and the packaging is easy to clean. 

Cuando el Naked 2 paleta salió no estaba muy emocionada o me apresure a probarlo. Honestamente, yo no esperaba que me gustara. Yo estaba tan mal, y esta es la segunda paleta tuve que comprar porque he terminado algunos de estos colores. Yo viajo por todas partes con esta y la utilizo en mis clientes todo el tiempo. Una de las principales razones esta me gusta más que la original es que cierra completamente y el embalaje es fácil de limpiar.

Left To Right: Foxy, Half Baked, Bootycall, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted, Blackout

My Favorite Colors from the Naked 2 Palettes are/ Mis colores favorito son: Bottycall, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Verve, YDK, and Busted

Urban Decay Naked Basics

When Urban decay came out with the Naked Basics I was so happy, its truly the perfect basic shades but the colors are so pigmented and beautiful. I like to call this my not so basic colors palette. The packaging is perfection, the so easy to travel with and so many looks can be created with these colors.

Cuando Urban decay salió con el Naked basics yo estaba tan feliz, es el perfecto tonos básicos, pero los colores son tan pigmentadas y hermoso. Me gusta llamar a esto mi no tan basica paleta de colores básicos. El embalaje es a la perfección,  fácil de viajar y los colores son muy versátil.

Left To Right: Venus, Foxy, W.O.S, Naked 2, Faint, Crave

 My favorite colors for the Naked Basics Palette are/Mis colores Favoritos Son: ALL Seriously I LOVE all these colors.!


These are my least used makeup palette, and I need to make clear that its not a testament to their quality its just that for whatever reason I truly never use these. 

Estos son mis menos utilizado maquillaje paleta, y tengo que dejar claro que no es un testimonio de su calidad es que por la razón que sea realmente nunca uso.

88 Shimmer Palette

I'm sorry I didn't swatch these, as you can see there are 88 colors and none have a name. The colors are very pretty some more pigmented then others and its a great buy for anyone who likes makeup. I personally have only used this palette once! I will be trying to use it more since the colors are very nice. 

Lo siento que no haga hecho muestra, como se puede ver, existen 88 colores y ninguno tiene un nombre. Los colores son muy bonitos, algunos más pigmentados que otros y es una gran compra para cualquiera a quien le guste maquillaje. Yo personalmente sólo han usado esta paleta una vez! Voy a tratar de usar más ya que los colores son muy agradables.

Kat Von D True Love 

Ok so after swatting this palette I am mad at myself for not using it more. Six out of the eight colors are absolutely gorgeous. The second from the left wouldn't even swatch because its dried out :( and the black one is awful, the pigmentation and consistency are non existing. 

Bueno, después volver a ver esta paleta estoy enfadada conmigo mismo por no usarlo más. Seis de los ocho colores son absolutamente magníficas. El segundo desde la izquierda ni siquiera muestra porque su secado :( y el de color negro es horrible, la pigmentación y la coherencia  no existen.

Left To Right: Peanut, Rebeka, Lucifer, Cholita, Shiba, Babe, Missy

 I cant wait to do a makeup look with this palate the colors look so pretty and very creamy. 

No puedo esperar para hacer un maquillaje con estos colores son tan lindos y muy cremoso.

Smashbox The Master Class Palette 

This palette would make an excellent gift for teenagers or anyone who likes to have the all in one palettes. I have used this one maybe one or twice and the colors are really nice. I don't use it more because the packaging sucks! It's terrible to travel with and the eyeshadows are loose and tend to pop out which makes for a super messy application. The cream colors (8) are really nice too.  This palette is made for personal use as for makeup artist it would be too messy to travel with.

Esta paleta podría ser un excelente regalo para los adolescentes o cualquier persona que le gusta tener todo en uno. Yo he utilizado esta uno tal vez una o dos veces y en la que los colores son muy bonitos. Yo no lo uso más, porque el envase es horrible! Es terrible para los viajes y la peletería estén sueltos y tienden a aparecer lo que hace que sea un super complicada aplicación. Los colores crema (8) son realmente muy bonito. Esta paleta es para uso personal como para artistas del maquillaje que sería demasiado complicado para viajar.
