SUMMER Eye-makeup


Hello beauties! So today's post is about  eye-makeup I use at summer (obviously not all the products at the same time) A fact is that I love makeup and doing other's people's makeup but I don't like that much wearing it, I use to wear natural looks if I'm wearing makeup, and I like wearing more makeup when I'm going to be on videos, photos or important/special events.
Anyway this are some of my recommendations for summer because I know that all you love makeup ;)



This product is by essence and is a cream long lasting eyeshadow "stay all day" in the colour 01 Copy Right.
Those eyeshadows are really cheap, they don't have a good range of colours, are quite dark this is the most natural one that's why I bought it. The colour is fine but I'm not agree at all with the long lasting thing but whatever they are really cheap for be expecting amazing things. The thing I hate about it is the texture, I mean if you apply a little bit in you eyes you're only going to be able to see sparkles and no colour, so if you try to put on more product you'll see the colour but I don't like the finish it gives you at all. And maybe it's because my skin because my best friend likes them. However I love natural looks so sometimes I'm happy with the sparkle effect.
This is one product which I have a love hate relationship with. 
Although I like it for summer for a party on the beach or having a walk at night. And Is really easy to apply no matter where you are.

This next product is a Catrice eyeshadow. It's orange which I love Is really pigmented and colorful and sometimes I use it as a blush which looks natural and it highlights you skin making it glow. On the eyes it looks stunning and I think it suites tan skin tones better that's why i recommend it for summer. I tried to swatch it but my camera didn't pick the colour how it really is, in the photo looks paler and with almost no pigmentation. (but in real life is way orange than in the photo, sorry)



This product is a MUST  for summer because the colour is really neutral is so pigmented and really easy to apply so is the perfect product for use it on the go you line your eyes and for the eyeshadow you just need to apply it on to your eyes and blend it with your fingers, really easy and fast, perfect for after the beach in the case you want to go to a restaurant or something and you want to look good. The liner is almost matt effect but the eyeshadow is sparkly and darker than the liner. And this swatch it shows quite good how it looks in real life. 


This is my NYX jumbo eye pencil in yogurt (611) The NYX jumbo eye pencil offers a creamy texture, good pigmentation, easy to apply and easy to blend, it melts with your skin when you are applying it, you can use it wherever you are is that easy that you don't need a mirror. And what is also good is that you can line your water line too because sometimes with this type of eye shadows (other brands) the colour doesn't shows up really well and normally less pigmented that if you use it on your skin. I love to use this product on the inner corners of my eyes I think it looks so beautiful and it open up you eyes, I get so many complements when I wear it. I just wear it with a little bit of mascara. It looks so glowy. And if you want to wear powder eyeshadow you can use it as a base colour.


Let's talk about eyeliners! This is one of my favourite eyeliners ever is the L'oréal paris infallible retractable eyeliner. Is waterproof and it last up to 16 hours. I wouldn't say it lasts 16 hours but I think it last so much time than other eyeliners and it's also really pigmented. That's why I think is really great for summer! 

Another eyeliner that is really good is the Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel eyeliner. This is in the colour Chocolate Shimmer Ink 13. It lasts a good amount of time you can do your eye makeup when you wake-up and at night it still i place, although is not waterproof. The consistency  is perfect and you can also use it as eyeshadow or base colour which I think is 3 in 1 product. It's incredibly pigmented, a little bit expensive but is Bobbi Brown and it's worth it, it really is. 


This is the essence get big lashes volume boost waterproof mascara. I really like it because with one coat you get really nice results voluminous and thick lashes in one coat. The bottle is huge like the brush and is a essence product so is really cheap. (12ml / 0.40 fl.oz)

This is the H&M eyebrow fix. It's not really good so i don't recommend this exact product but I think that an eyebrow fix, whichever brand do you want to use, is a must for summer. (sometimes I just wear it with blush and my NYX jumbo eye pencil)

SUNCARE :)



Hello everyone! So today’s post is going to be a review about the most important summer product : sun care. Our skin needs to be sun protected because If we protect our skin from the sun we aren’t just protecting it against the sun burn, we are also preventing spots, hyper pigmentation and wrinkles. But that Is not everything because when you are not exposed at the sun anymore you also need to care about applying after sun this will help to alleviate the skin after a sun exposure. This is what I use at the moment:



I've been using this since last year and are my favourite so far. Aptonia sunscreen are moisturising solar gel cream which is really important because you're hydrated and sun protected at the same time and because is gel form (big bottle) or spray (little bottle) It makes it really easy to apply. The smell of those is really good as well because is not the typical sunscreen smell , It has a fruity smell. It doesn't leave white marks which I love , How many times did you reapplied sunblock anywhere out of your house and someone said to you : "Hey do you have some white mark because of the sunscreen there." Tell me , how many times? And last but not least are water resistant! how amazing is that?! :) This sunscreen is my favourite so far it has everything you need in a bottle! Sun protection (you choose the SPF), moisturizer, no white marks, smells good, easy to apply and water resistant. The big bottle (200ml)  is the one I apply at home or I wear in the beach bag or pool bag (SPF 50+), the little one (50ml) is always in my purse 'cause you don't want to be carrying a big bottle of sunscreen everywhere, if you're going shopping your body is also exposed to the sun so you also need to reapply the sunscreen sometime. (SPF 30)



When we are protecting our face from the sun we look for different sunscreen properties, that's why I bought those.
Both are L'oréal paris Solar expertise SPF 50+,avoids hyper pigmentation and prevents wrinkles. They smell like sunscreen, aren't totally water resistant (but I wish they were) although in the back says:"water resistant" It doesn't lasts   that long on to your skin .
But you can't have everything you wanted to and if you're not going to the pool or the the beach you need to apply sunblock but you don't need it to be water resistant. 
The difference between those is that the "big" bottle one (75ml) leaves a greasy effect on your skin (but it's my second bottle of it) and the little bottle one (50ml) is in liquid form and doesn't let your skin greasy.

How I said before after sun products are really important part of the solar exposition.
I use the Babaria Rosa Mosqueta which it hydrates your skin , anti-aging and photo protection. It smells really good, the scent is flowery but no sweet.(150ml) There are other products with rosa mosqueta , those do wonders to your skin. (check out the different products in the link down below)

This next product is a Korres after sun, it's ultra cooling and smoothing efect and you can notice that because leaves your skin fresh and smooth (You can keep it in the fridge for a maximum effect). It's in gel form so it's really easy to apply, it melts with your skin really gentle. is for face and body (although I use it on my face becouse I have a mini size (50ml)) But the most exciting is that ; smells like youghurt! :D yey! And it says "With real edible yoghurt
This after sun is by far the best I've ever tried. 

So this are my recomendations for summer, It works for me It might won't work for you but are products that are really dificult to hate (If you hate the yoghurt you may hate the last one) But anyways  no matter which product you are goning to use apply those regular on to your skin specially if you're goning to be exposed to the sun. 

GOOD LUCK!  Hope you like the post, here you have some links where you can find some of the products mentioned.If you have any question leave a comment below. Thanks for reading! :)

L'oréal stuff : you can find it everywhere! :D

O.O.T.D (22/7/2012)

O.O.T.D = Outfit Of The Day


Hello, today I'm going to show you what I wore. I decided starting this type of posts because I love seeing others people.

Here where I live this lasts days have been so hot.
My style is casual, rocker , bohemian, just in case you are wondering. 


This is what I was wearing: 




jn
I bought this top at Primark last year , originally It was short sleeve but I decided to cut it. It also had a higher neck than now wich I didn't liked at all so I decided to cut ir as well. I didn't cut anything before that so I was a little skeptical about go ahead and do it without thinking how I wanted to be , but I did it anyways.


It was my first time cutting any top, so I cut the front and the back the same way so now this top has a open back. The firsts days I didn't liked at all, so I didn't wore it until this year. I found it in my closet and I still loving the design so .... :)


And you may think ; Why did you bought it if you cut it when it was new? I loved the design. It's all I can say. I'm not a big fan of thin stripes but the fabric feels so good.
I like this top but it's not my favourite.

When I cut the sleeves I had another problem: I cut those too much. So I did a knot in each strap. (how you can appreciate in the photo where I'm showing the back)

The shorts I was wearing are from Forever 21. They are dark blue denim shorts and they're also really comfortable and I love the detail that they have on the right leg. 

On my feet: 
This are my black trainers I wear those no matter if it's winter or summer. They have silver studs on both sides and they are really comfortable.

I bought those last year the day before I went to Berlin (I'll post something about it soon). We had really long walks and some of my friends were complaining about how much their feet were aching. 
And I was really impressed because they're new and if you are looking for some footwear for visiting some city this are perfect and they're available in some different colours.

ACCESSORIES :) 


Recently I have been wearing the same bracelets all the time but when I'm going to do some activity more sportive I change    a little bit. (you'll see it in one of my next O.O.T.D) 

The wood ones are from Blanco. The green one cost me 1€ somewhere near the beach just like the white one. Something that I love about the green one is the skull that is hanging.


And the last thing I've purchased is this watch It's simple, casual it goes with almost every outfit and you can't hear the sound of the seconds. (you'll understand what I mean when I'll post about my watches, I'm working on it as well)




A week ago I painted my nails myself with a new nail polish. I never saw that brand before it cost me 12 € so I was expecting it to be good but now (a week after) I have my nails almost like the first day ! How you can see on the photo they still perfect! (I'll do a post about that nail polish soon) 
About my hair: I was wearing my hair naturally curled. (I'll post a hair story)
About my makeup: I was wearing Teddy eyeliner by essence blend it all over my lid. The finish look was really natural, the only thing you can apreciate is a slightly brown shimmer on my lid wich I adore.


Hope you liked it! Follow me If you wanna read posts like this one! Thanks for reading! :) Have a nice day or night or what ever ^^

LOVE YOURSELF

Hello there everyone!
As my first post I haven´t decided yet what I wanted to be about so I'm going to share with you all some of my thoughts and write something about me , so there we go:


The title of this post is "love yourself" just because I think that that someone accepts themselves is really important. Why shouldn't you be OK with yourself? Why there's a tone of people out there trying to find their most little imperfection and hate themselves about it? or trying to hide it as much as possible? (wich sometimes this make the imperfection much more obvious) And I'm not talking about phisicall skills only.
We should accept ourselves, we are how we are. And we are that way because through the time we lived we learned , how did we learned? Falling down, being shy, having a depression, being bullyied, or ever being hited by someone else. And this are just a few ones because we've also learned having fun, meeting people, woking hard, enjoying every moment, growing up as a person and discovering new things and situations we never expected.


I'm saying all this because everyone felt sad or hated themselves or even felt the tiniest person is the world sometime.
How ever, is your life,  your body, you decide in some ways, but there are some ways you have to accept what you are and how you are and be proud about it.


Now I'm more selfconfident than i was before. I used to be really shy with the people I didn't know, I wasn't the honest person I am today. But I'm not gonna tell you right now only in one post what I did, or how I started my transformation from a shy girl to a outgoing girl. And I went through some therapy (just for a few months) and no I didn't change , now I really feel that finaly I'm myself. 


I should say that; that shy girl I used to be was only during 2 or 3 years. I went though a depression but I wasn't always sad, nono , I was happy but I wasn't myself.


The good thing is that I learned my lesson and that stage didn't lasted that much, so I'm glad I was aware of my situation and I went back to the person I really am.


So I don't want that anyone feel the way I felt (I have never been bullyied and I'm glad of it, normally everyone respects me so much , I can't imagine how the people that has been or that is bullyied feels) So I just wanna say: ACCEPT WHO YOU ARE, HAVE FUN, ENJOY, BE YOURSELF, DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS SAY AND BE HONEST.


About me : 
I'm learing english so sorry about my vocabulary or expressing skills , I'm trying to do it the best as I can and reading blogs is helping me so much, I'm learing so much faster.
I love fashion and makeup, video games, anime, skateboaring or snowboarding ( I wanna learn surf) MUSIC , and a good film or a good book. 
Like hunger games!! so I hope you liked that post, I really wanna know what do you think about it so don't forget to coment.
