SOS Rescue!

Hi there!!
Well, since I came here top the UK, my hair is a little bit dry and destroyed, let´s gonna be realistic. I dyed my hair twice purple, and after that I went to a brownie color, which has caused that my hair get so damaged.

I have used a lot of different shampoos and conditioners, John Frieda, Pantene, and all the rest of the big brands. But looking for something new I found the Paul Smith line of SOS Rescue for damaged hair. I decided to give it a try to the shampoo and the conditioner and see how it works with my hair.

The first thing that I loved about it was the scent, so sweet but no so intense. The packaging is a red bottle with white letters that catch so easily your attention. 


I usually wash my hair every 2-3 days, and I used both, shampoo and conditioner. After the third time I used it, I felt that my hair was going better. It felt smooth, less dry and easy to brush. And after two months, my hair looks so healthy! Not as much as I would like to, but my endings look so much better and nice.

What I like the most it was the shine that leaves to the hair after styling it, it was so lovely!

So if you´re looking for a treatment for damaged hair, I hardly recommend to you this one, the SOS Rescue Line by Paul Smith. It also has more products on the line, so I guess the must be as good as the shampoo and conditioner!

See you very soon on the next post!

So overwhelmed!

There are 4 new collections of MAC right now on sale, and I love all of them! 

The Baking Beauties, all soft pastel colors, inspired on the decoration of cakes:
My favourite products from this one are the purple lipstick (a soft mauve color) and all the paint pots, they were gorgeous!

Then we have the Temperature Rising collection, all bronze and metallic and shiny colors, amazing for summer!
I love from this one the two nail polishes and the eyeshadows, I´ve swatched a few the other day and the colors were amazing.
Of course, we can forget about one of my favourite collections, In Extra Dimension 

And one that surprise me a lot, because I liked every single product! Nudes and Metallics
And the Fashion Sets! I was looking for the lipstick Silly, but it was sold out... All bright colorful colors... my favourite collection!




The problem is that everything that I liked was sold out... Not funny at all, but well, I´ll be waiting for the next collections coming!
Do you have any favourite of this ones? Tell me!
See you on the next post!

Power Pout by MUA

Hi everybody!!

Hope you have a great weekend and enjoying the last bits of it, I already had a very good one with the company of my lovely Alexandra! And today I´m going to talk you about a little but nice discovery that I´ve recently made (this week). Seizing the 3 for 2 offer on Superdrug, I decided to give it a go to the Power Pout, that look so similar to the Chubby Sticks of Clinique.
 Power Pout
 Chubby Stick
As you can see, the design is pretty similar, but when I tried the Chubby Sticks what I didn´t like at all it was that the pigmentation was so sheer, and I was expecting something with more color. But the other day when I tried the Power Pouts I got very impressed about the pigmentation, so I gave an opportunity to one of them, and is the color Runway (a orangy red color).
I applied it on top of So Chaud of MAC, and it really smoothes the mate finish of this lipstick, feels so good and it last on my lips almost 6 hours! And it really gave to So Chaud a little bit more of an orangy tone, so it looks so gorgeous.

Later, in home I gave it a try without lipstick underneath, and it last for two hours almost 3. It´s not a very sheer finish, it gives you a nice color, but not with a very glossy finish.

I really recommend you this product, because it complements so good a lipstick and it looks so nice by itself (plus is super cheap! 3 pounds!)

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

Bright colors for Spring!

Hi everybody!!

So now, Spring is really here, no more cold days! And with that, the sun and all the flowers around comes one of my favourite times on the year on makeup (even though I keep doing it all the year, but more on this time), is the TIME  to wear BRIGHT LIPSTICK!

Of course you can wear it all the year, but with the sun on top, the colors look more vibrant and shiny, so I think is a really good time to take all that bright neon colors that you have on your drawer and wear it!

I´m very classic for lipsticks, normally red and dark purples are my "go to" color, but now I´ve taken all my favourite bright ones, and I´m going to tell you what I like to use (I warn you, most of them are from MAC, because I am totally addicted to their lipsticks!)

A classic one for me is Impassioned by MAC. It´s a bright pink orangy/coraly color that depending on the person who wears it, it can look more coral or pink. Normally it tends to go to the pink, but on me looks totally coral. I adore this one and I recomend it to everybody! It looks gorgeous on everyone.

Other of my favourites ones is Vegas Volt, by MAC too. Is a coral color, more on the orange side, and it looks so beautiful, most of all on pale skins.



Another one that I love for spring is Chatterbox by MAC. It´s a pale bright pink, and is one of my favourites pink shades from MAC.


And of course, I can forget on the pink shades my two favourite lipsticks from Barry M, numbers 52 and 62, incredibly bright!
 #52
 #62

And my favourite for this year, absolutely goes to So Chaud by MAC. It´s a orange mate lipstick, but with a tiny bit of red on it, that looks incredible. And if you get tan, I totally recomend you to try this color, it will pop with a tan skin!

And by the moment this are my current favourites lipsticks for this Spring here in London.

Hope you like it! And tell me what are your favourites ones.

See you on the next post!

Lor.

Hi Everybody!

Hi there!
My name is Lor and I am a professional Makeup Artist since a loooong time ago. I´ve been reading makeup blogs for a long time, and finally I decided to make one of my own. So as you can guess, this blog is going to be mostly about makeup, and sometimes maybe random stuff about something that I like, be ready for anything from makeup to coffee, nail polishes, hair stuff...   Well, I hope you like the blog, and see you soon on my first post!!

Hola a todos!
Me llamo Lor y soy maquilladora profesional desde hace muuuucho tiempo. He estado durante años leyendo diferentes blogs de maquillaje y después de mucho tiempo he decidido hacerme uno propio. Así que posiblemente este blog este totalmente dedicado al maquillaje, pero posiblemente alguna vez hable de cosas no relacionadas al maquillaje que me gusten, desde cafe, productos para el pelo, lacas de uñas... Espero que os guste el blog, y nos vemos en el primer post pronto!

Lor.
