Look of the day!

Hi everybody!!

As I told you on my last post, I got today the Highlighter Pen by Catrice, and I wear it with my makeup today.

Today I did my usual foundation routine (I will do a post very soon about it) but changing the foundation, instead of the Face and Body, I used today the Revlon Photoready and my usual routine for eyebrows too. The only thing that I didn´t do today as usual was the contour, I was on the mood for a soft blush and nothing else.

After that, I apply as a base the Color Tattoo 24hr from Maybelline in 85- Light in Purple all over my lid, I don´t use any brush, just the fingers. I let it set for a few seconds, and on top of that I apply with a flat shadow brush Vellum eyeshadow by MAC. I lined 3/4 of my top lash line with a Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner by MAC in Deep Purple, and also the lower lash line, and with a pencil brush (219 by MAC) I blend the color and gave it a smoky finish. On the lower lash line, for adding some depth I apply with the pencil brush some black eyeshadow on top of the purple pencil (The shadow was Carbon by MAC). On the waterline I used the Highlighter pen by Catrice. For my cheeks I applied Mirrored Pink by Sleek Makeup and on my lips Berry Pink lipgloss by ModelCo. As a highlighter for my cheeks and brows I used Shroom by MAC.

Here´s a picture of the look.

As first impression of the Highlighter Pen by Catrice, I have to say that I am very happy with the result, 3 hours complete perfect on the waterline!

Hope you like the post, I´ll see you on the next one!

Hola a todos!

Como os he contado en mi ultimo post, hoy compré el Highlighter pen de Catrice, y lo usé para mi maquillaje de hoy.

Para hoy hice mi rutina diaria de maquillaje, excepto que cambié la base, en vez de la Face and Body de MAC, usé la de Revlon Photoready. Para mis cejas, la misma rutina de siempre también. Lo único que no hice hoy fue el contorno, tenía en mente un look algo mas suave, solo un poco de colorete y nada más.

Después de eso, en los ojos usé de base la sombra de ojos en crema de Maybelline "Color Tattoo 24hr" en el color 85-Lighter in purple. No usé brochas, simplemente los dedos para aplicarla. Encima de esta sombra, apliqué con una brocha plana de sombra Vellum de MAC. Delineé 3/4 de la línea superior de pestañas con el lápiz de ojos Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner de MAC en el color Deep Purple y también lo usé para delinear la linea inferior de pestañas. Con la brocha 219 de MAC difuminé el trazo del lápiz hasta darle un acabado ahumado. En la línea inferior de pestañas aplique sombra negra para darle profundidad al ojo (usé Carbon de MAC) y en el interior de la línea de pestañas inferior usé el lápiz Highlighter Pen de Catrice. Para las mejillas utilizé Mirrored Pink de Sleek Makeup y para los labios nada más que un poco de lipgloss (Berry Pink de ModelCo). De iluminador apliqué Shroom de MAC tanto en la parte alta de mis mejillas como en el arco de ambas cejas.

Arriba podéis ver una foto del look terminado y de los productos usados.

Como primera impresión que tuve hoy con el Highlighter pen de Catrice, debo decir que estoy muy contenta con el resultado, aguantó perfectamente durante tres horas!

Espero que os guste, y nos leemos en el siguiente post!

Lash Glue nightmares are over!

Hello there!

I know that probably a lot of you knew about this, but I didn´t and I am so excited!

I was in need, but really in a big need of lash glue. My last one, I don´t know why, start smelling so bad (normally the lash glue smells horrible, but my glue, everytime I opened it can kill people just with the smell!) and it had this weird yellow going to grey color that wasn´t very normal thing, so I thought that was time to get a new one.

When I buy the lash glue in Madrid, I usually go to Burlesque (I will put in the end their facebook page, they are amazing! Incredible people with the most amazing products in makeup and wigs that you can imagine), they have the dupe of the DUO Adhesive for just 6€, so I prefer to get this one instead of paying 12€ for the same product in MAC.

 Dupe for this one down here!

But here in London I don´t have my beloved Burlesque store... So I went into the hunt of a new lash glue.

Obviously I knew that in MAC I can get the DUO for 10 pounds, but I wanted to find something else. Here in the UK the people wear way more lashes than we do in Spain, so here there is a lot more of lash models, and of course, more glue types!

In YouTube I saw a lot of gurus using the black lash glue, the one with brush, for single lashes, but in Spain if you don´t order that from the internet, it´s impossible to get it on a store.

And finally I found the perfect lash glue. Or at least for me it is! Is the Eyelure Lashfix. It comes in a crystal bottle, and the thing that I like the most from this glue is the applicator. Is a bar that allows you to put as much glue as you want. The regular bottle for me it was sometimes a nightmare, because when I pressed it to get a little bit of glue, usually came out a lot of glue... but with this applicator is more easy for me, and I think that for everyone (and for beginners is perfect)

So for those that didn´t know about this glue, or for the people that never give it a chance to it, you must try it, is really good!

Don´t forget to visit Burlesque Facebook Page and give it a like!

Hope you like the post, and see you on the next one.

Revlon Photoready Foundation

Hi there everybody!

Today I´m back with a review of one of the latest foundations I´ve been using during this last month and a half.

The foundation, as you can guess by the title is the Revlon Photoready Foundation. I was really looking forward to try this foundation, because everybody talk great things about it and there are great reviews all over the internet. I didn´t get it before because on Spain we don´t have Revlon. So when I finished my Studio Fix by MAC, I decided to give it a try and see how it was this foundation.

They have like MAC, a few tones with more pink undertone and another few with yellow undertone. I got mine in 002 Vanilla. It really matches my skin color almost totally, which is very surprising for me, I´ve never found before a drugstore foundation that matches my skin color in that way. The foundation is suposed to be medium coverage, and for me, is near to the full coverage if you apply two layers on the skin.

I´ve been applying it with my Real Tecniques Stippling Brush, and the only thing you must be careful when you are applying it is that you have to be fast, because if you let it dry, it would leave a line impossible to blend. Once I have it on, I always apply my Collection Pressed Podwer in 18 Ivory, that matchs very good the shade of the foundation.

The foundation really last longer without any touch up, almost 6 hours looking good! And that for my skin (I have a very sensitive, oily skin and acne... ) is a total challenge, believe me.

I was really happy, but a few weeks ago we have here in the UK a very hot summer days. I apply the foundations and those days it was horrible the result on the skin. The foundation literally melts on my skin, and with the podwer on top looks very caky. And the worst thing was that felt incredibly heavy on my skin.

Out of that, I am very happy with this foundation, and one of the things I like the most of this foundation is that on photo looks amazing! And everybody had a lot of compliments about the shade and how it looks so natural on my skin.

So if you´re looking for a long lasting foundation that have a very high SPF (20!) and that doesn´t flash back in photos I really recommend you this one, I´m sure you will love it =).

Hope you like the post, and see you on the next one!
