Let's talk about makeup

It's been a while since I've talked about makeup. The reasons why is because I'm not very good at giving reviews and second, I'm not a a professional or 'beauty guru'. But since summer I've been having a few purchases and this is what I've been loving so far. Like really, I use all of this daily (except when I stay at home)! I'll start with the eyeshadows, for a while I've wanted to spent a little bit of money in good quality eyeshadows so I went to Sephora and got the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette. I'll be honest the price made my credit card cry a little but so far I think the money was worth it. A really good starting palette and if you like natural colors. And my latest addiction is the Maybelline Color Tattoo, I have the Bad to the Bronze and this is really good. I was a little hesitant since is a cream eyeshadow and I have oily/combination skin so I though this will be awful and smudge all around my eyes. But it doesn't! And this will last me for a while since they are really pigmented. Gotta have the rest for sure! 

For the lips, I really need lip balms in my life since my lips chapped so quickly so I tried the famous EOS in Raspberry and I'm hooked! They moisturize really good and their cute shape is a plus! The next product is the Revlon lip stain called Just Bitten Kissable in the color Honey. This is my first time trying out lip stain (I'm more of a lipstick girl) and after watching a video from Essiebutton Youtube Channel (love her videos!) I wanted to check them out. Honey is a pretty color to use everyday (which I've done!) and they stay like forever?! Really good if you don't like to touch up every time you eat/drink/etc. The only think I dislike is the minty smell but it doesn't last for long so I don't mind. The other favorite it the Rimmel Lasting Finish lipstick by Kate Moss in 107. At first I thought I didn't need this color since I got a similar one. But oh so glad I did pick this up! Really pretty especially now for F/W time and it does last a lot. The color goes from a very dark burgundy and if you don't touch up it goes slightly pink through they day, which I love. 

Last but not least it's the Benefit Watt's Up cream highlighter. This is a sample I've got back in March for my birthday at Sephora but never tried it since I thought "I don't need to highlight my face if I've got an oily face!" but I tried it and if applied the right way it looks really pretty. I mostly use it for the eye area (the corners) and I little bit at the top of my cheeks and instantly I look alive (haha if that makes sence!).

Uff! Done with the rambling! If you've read this far, here have a cookie!

Have a nice weekend!

Sometimes it's fun to be a little daring

A little fact about myself is that I'm a lipsticks kind of girl especially MAC ones. So this wont be a proper review because it's kind obvious that I love this product. I just want to share this with you. I hope you don't mind. 

Ok, first. You're not seeing double. These are two different lipsticks. A month ago I did a post about some things I wanted to buy for this fall season and one of them was to find the perfect shade of burgundy lipstick. Since my favorite makeup brand is MAC I went there first and immediately fell in love with the Odyssey one. It can look dark and scary at first but it actually looks good. I love it because you can build the color intensity and that's good if you don't want to go for a very bold look and just want to add a touch of color. 

Before deciding I wanted to buy this kind of lipstick I though this look only worked in magazines and in the runway, but you can actually find a way to use it on a daily basis. I like to wear it when the rest of my makeup it's very simple - liner, mascara, and very light blush. Maybe I can do a post in how I do my makeup with this lovely color. I'm sure going to use it for the rest of fall and in the winter. The other one is from L'Bel a brand I've heard before but never used any of their products. This was a lovely and nice gift from my mommy since she knew I was looking for one for some time. I've haven't used it but it looks very nice and gives a more "shimmer" look than the MAC one and I think is a bit less expensive? Not entirely sure. For now it seems I'm good with burgundy lipsticks for some months. ha! 

Well yeah, thanks for reading! 

I hope you have a nice weekend! :)

Any fun plans? 

For now my weekend is just work and study. Surely I will try to do something fun.

Autumn List

First of all, if you read my blog, I’m sorry I haven’t posted lately. I’ve been very busy and sometimes I didn’t have the energy and inspiration to write a post. I don’t want to blog without been enthusiastic in what I’m writing about. So I preferred to take my time. 

Second, Oh wow, one month has passed since I first started blogging! Too fast! Yesterday it was summer and now I’m like, “Oh, hi September! Didn’t see you coming.” Haha. But at the same time I'm very happy since I love Autumn, especially the weather. 

And third, here is my list for my next shopping trip.  

1. Despite that classes already started, I’m looking for a new backpack since the one I’m using has already two years and I’m getting kind of tired of it. I love this kinds of bags that are like made of leather and sloppy, but sometimes I like to carry my laptop so I don’t know if to buy something like this or something bigger. Do you have any suggestions?
2. All my tights are black, so this year I want to do a little change and wear burgundy color tights. It will be something different and maybe it will look good since almost all my clothes are black/gray. 
3. For months I have been craving to buy a purple shade lipstick, specially from MAC. I will see if I can get it this weekend. 
4. I need headphones, like right now! Mine are dead after two years using them 24/7. haha. What can I say? I love music! Maybe I will buy two, because I love this one – first they look cute and second I love the color. The bad part is I find it kind of big to carry it around everywhere, so I need smaller ones too.
5. Glitter oxfords. I mentioned this in another post and I still haven’t found the perfect pair, so difficult! I’m thinking of buying some plain oxfords and maybe add them with some glitter. But I don’t know if it will look good. 
6. More jumpers please! Fact: I love jumpers! I think I have one in every color and I still want more. If I find an ombre style jumper I will definitely buy it. 

                                      And for now that is my list of things I need/want for this season.

Cristi's Favorites | Lipsticks

M.A.C. 'Vegas Volt', 'Creme de la Femme' & 'Shy Girl'.

 

I know I’m posting a lot of my favorites. But I’m still working in some other posts and for now this are the most easily to write. So sorry if I’m boring you. 

Since I consider myself a lipsticks kind of girl, I wanted to show you my top five (yeah, I know, another ‘top five’) favorite lipsticks. I have been using these for a few months and some of them for years! After taking the pictures I realized that most of my favorite’s ones are from the brand M.A.C. and I’m really sorry. I admit they are very pricey, but they are worth it. But I buy lipsticks like one or two every few months, so it doesn’t hurt that much.

So let’s start with my favorite of the summer that I mentioned in my first post the M.A.C. Vegas Volt. It’s a beautiful bright coral. It can look very bright and scary, but do not worry when you put it on it looks more soft and creamy. Next one is the Frost ‘Crème de la Femme’ and this has been my favorite for almost three years. It’s my favorite pink lipstick, it gives me the perfect rosy lips and I use it a lot during the day. The next one is the Cremesheen Shy Girl. I use this lipstick daily! I always have it in my bag because it goes with everything. It’s a beautiful nude color with a hint of pink. For the next one I wanted to choose something else from a different brand, so I picked this Revlon Raisin Rage. I haven’t used this since January so I’m very happy Fall is coming so I can use it again. I don’t know if you can see clearly (sorry for the horrible photo quality) it’s kind of a brown with a hint of red and it’s really creamy so be careful not to put it in hot places, it will melt fast. And for last, I know it’s not a lipstick but I wanted to put it anyway and yes it’s from M.A.C.! It’s called Love Peck from Kissable Lipcolour. This can last for hours! And what I love is that when you put it on it looks like a very dark brown but after hours when it starts to wear off it turn to a fuchsia. It's like magic. I love it and it’s perfect for Fall too!

 And that it’s it! I admit I don’t know how to finish a blog post. I will try my best next time.

Well I hope you liked it & have a wonderful day!♥
