They´re Real!?

Hello there!

I promised another post today, but I´ve been so busy that I didn´t have time to do it! I will do it soon, because it was my birthday and I got some really good gifts (a lot of makeup!) so get ready for the post very very soon.

This days I am almost finishing my They´re Real! mascara by Benefit (travel size). I did a little review in August, when I was using it for two weeks in that moment and was very nice. After the first month, I always know if the mascara is working or not. And it was a big no for me.

My honest opinion is that I adore a lot the brush of the mascara, really awesome for getting into the corners of the eye, what makes the application of it very easy and comfortable.
The fall out after a month increased so much, some days I looked as a racoon! I know is normal to have a little bit, but it has been so much lately.
What I don´t really like so much is the fact that is so hard to take it off. Even with eye makeup remover for waterproof mascaras, it has been a nightmare to take it off totally of my lashes. And I started, after the first month of use, just applying one layer of the mascara, because with two layers it really was so difficult to take it off.
Some of my lashes fall off, and I stopped using it for one week. The moment I started to use it again, my lashes started to fall again.
I loved the color, really black and make the lashes look almost as real falsies, but being very hard to take off and the fallout of my lashes this last month and a half; makes me say that I won´t get this mascara again.

(Don´t know if you can appreciate how dry is the mascara on the edge/ No se si se verá bien lo seca que esta la máscara en los bordes)

Sometimes it seems like I have a love-hate relation with Benefit, and I really was in love with the mascara, but then all the bad stuff started... Anyways, I will keep giving more chances to Benefit.

Have you tried this mascara? Let me know =)

Hope you like it, see you soon on the next post!

Hola a todos!

Se que prometí otro post para hoy, pero estuve muy liada durante todo el día y casi no he tenido tiempo para poder hacer nada, además ha sido mi cumple y entre unas cosas y otras se me ha echado el día encima. En breves tendréis un haul con unas cuantas cositas de maquillaje que me han regalado (muchas, este año he debido de ser muy buena!)

Bueno, más o menos por Agosto hice un pequeño review en la nueva máscara de pestañas que había empezado a usar, la They´re Real! de Benefit (tamaño mini). Esas dos semanas me estaba gustando mucho la máscara, todo sea dicho, aunque me resultaba un poco difícil de desmaquillar, pero bueno, daba buen resultado. Para mi, a partir del primer mes se si una máscara me va a funcionar o no. Y esta, muy a mi pesar, fue un no total y rotundo.

De verdad que el cepillo de esta máscara me encanta, es muy cómodo por la punta que tiene para llegar a los extremos del ojo y repartía muy bien el producto. Era uno de sus puntos fuertes para mí.
Pero a partir del primer mes, la caída de la máscara bajo mis pestañas aumentó demasiado, había veces que parecía que llevaba las pestañas inferiores marcadas con negro!
Y otra de las cosas que me empezó a disgustar mucho fue que cada vez que pasaban mas días (supongo que será por que se va secando el producto) era mucho más difícil de desmaquillar. Ni si quiera con un desmaquillante específico para ojos y máscaras waterproof lograba quitármela de las pestañas en condiciones. Empecé a aplicar solo una capa de máscara por eso, porque con dos capas era una total pesadilla desmaquillarse.
Se me empezaron a caer bastantes pestañas, y paré de usar máscara durante una semana. A la semana, al volver a aplicar la máscara, empezaron de nuevo mis pestañas a caer.
El color ha sido otro de sus puntos fuertes para mí. Era muy negro y realmente parecía que llevabas pestañas postizas. Pero al ser tan difícil de desmaquillar y que la mitad de mis pestañas se fueran en ese proceso, me hacen decir con bastante seguridad que no creo que vuelva a comprar esta máscara.

Siempre tengo una relación amor-odio con los productos de Benefit. Me gustan mucho al principio, pero después siempre me pasa algo con ellos... De todas maneras, le seguiré dando oportunidades a más cosas de la marca, espero tener suerte con algo!

Disney Villains by e.l.f.

Hi everyone!

Since I was a little girl, I´ve been a big fan of Disney, but most of all of the Disney Villains. My favourites are Maleficent and the Evil Queen.

A while ago, MAC launched a Special Edition based on the Disney Villains, it was to die for! And now, it´s the turn for e.l.f. to launch again this awesome Special Edition for Fall (I think last year, around this time, they launched one similar collection like this one).

They have a Look Book for Maleficent, Ursula, Evil Queen and Cruella De Vil. And each one has directions in how to recreate a Day look and a Night look with all the products that are inside the box. I think is a great idea, just in case that one day you´re out of ideas... you can recreate one of that recommended looks.

In every set you get all this products: an eyeshadow palette with 6 eyeshadows, a mascara, eye primer, liquid eyeliner, an eyeshadow brush, a little black eye pencil and a lipgloss. Is a great deal, thinking that the sets just cost 9.99$!

This one is the Look Book for Ursula

They also have a box with a special edition of 3 nail polishes for each villain, they look so awesome too! And just for 9.99$ too.

The thing that I like the most from the collection I think it´s the false lashes that Ardelle design for this collection. You get 3 pairs of lashes on a single box, inspired on each villain. and just 7.99$

I really love this collection! It´s a pity that is only avalaible at the moment in the U.S.A, because I will love to try the lashes!

But for those how can buy it, don´t let the chance pass by, and get it! It´s so cheap, and I think is great for a treat to yourself =).

Hope you like this, see you on the next post!

The perfect tweezers

Hi Everyone!!

After the lash glue post, I feel that I have to talk to you about this.

Since I had it on my hands had save my life. And there are the tweezers for applying false lashes (Burlesque have this on their store).

I´ve always use the classic tweezers, the ones you use to pluck your eyebrows, to put on the lashes and press a little bit to help the lash to get stick better. But I have to recognize that even they help a lot, a wrong move and all can end in a tragedy, lash glue everywhere and the lash totally stick on the tweezers (and if you get lucky, maybe you don´t hurt your eye).

One day I was visiting Burlesque Store, and they showed me the tweezers, because I am a total mess applying fake lashes on my eyes (I am so slow, and my hands shakes a lot...) I decided to gave them a chance. And I promise you it was my discovery of 2012 and is one of my favourite things in 2013!

The tweezers may seem so simple and even you can compare with the regular ones, but I assure you it has nothing in common. The precision and holding that this tweezers gives you while you apply the lash it´s totally different than with a regular one. And for people with trembling hands (I do have a very trembling hands, everyone that knows me  notice that in the first second they met me!) it´s a great help and applying your lashes will be very much easy to do! And for applying lashes in other people is very comfortable to use.

The product comes from Japan and the girls there use it a lot, because they´re obsessed with lashes.

For me, right now is a basic thing on my professional kit and when I´m doing my makeup too, so I hardly recommend you to give it a try. And they have a very reasonable price.

Benefit "They´re Real" Mascara

Hi everybody!

Hope you´re having a great last week of August, and for those who are starting school, work, etc hope that you´ve started the best way possible!
Mine is being a calm week, more or less.

Well, today I´m back, because I want to talk you about a new mascara that I´m trying at the moment, and it´s, as you can guess by the title, "They´re Real" by Benefit.

The previous mascara that I´ve used was the "Scandal Eyes" by Rimmel London. The first month with it was very nice, my lashes look so long, thick and black; and the fall out was very little, so I was so happy with it. After the second month it turns so dry and clumpy, so my lashes look weird most of the days, and the fallout was increasing everyday, so normally I end up the day looking as a racoon thanks to the fall out.
So I decided to get a new mascara, because look as a racoon is not very nice.

From a while, I´ve been reading a few reviews and watching it in YouTube about the "They´re Real" mascara, so I decided to give it a look when I was shopping to get a mascara. I wen to MAC, I looked through all the counters of makeup in Harrod´s (because that day I was visiting Harrod´s and I remember I need a mascara, I don´t usually buy there!) and finally I visited the Benefit counter. The people there were so nice, and they showed me every mascara they had. I asked them about the "They´re Real" and they told me very good stuff about it, so I decided to give it a go.

I am not a very big fan of Benefit, I´ve tried a few of their products, but everything I used to like they have discontinued it, so that makes me forget about this brand.

I got the smaller size (or travel size, whatever you prefer to call it) of the mascara, because the bigger size was a little bit expensive, and I thought it was a very good idea to have this smaller sizes, because when you buy a mascara and you don´t like it, finish a full size bottle sometimes seems to be eternal.

The color of the mascara is black, and I´m not a big fan of the plastic wands but I´m quite liking this one. At the point it has longer plastic "teeth" that I found very useful to get to the corner of the lashes. Because of the plastic wand, normally  there is a little bit of excess of product that you have to be careful, but I don´t find it as a very problematic thing. Is a waterproof version, really hard to take  it off, so use your makeup remover for waterproof mascara.

As always, I get fall out, but is not too much, and by the moment is not bothering me so much. Let´s see what happens after a month of use, that´s my point to know if the mascaras work well for me or not. (I´m getting closer, two weeks of use!)

I hope you like the review, and I will see you very soon on a new one!
