Hello from a very windy Spain!
I feel like I haven't been blogging as much as I wanted to lately cuz even tho I have a lot I want to share, I don't exactly have enough time to sit down and write about it.
As expected, I already got a few makeup & beauty products as well as others I got as gifts when I arrived here. There are a few brands I tried because of my mom and now I finally have the chance to see them and try more of them as we explore the stores.
First things first, the day I arrived here I got a cute golden box from Women'Secret as a welcoming gift. It is the Gold Seduction perfume & body lotion set and I have to say it is really pretty to look at. The scent of both is sweet; it opens with a fresh and deliciously fruity top note built around citrics and red fruit. It has sweet and woody notes... (as described on the box) so yeah, sweet to me. Lol.
The perfume has little glitters in it which makes it look really princess-y(?) and I love that. I assuming the cream will be like that too. Haven't opened it yet. I still haven't had the chance to visit the Women'Secret store but I have another perfume back home and I really like it. The durability of the scent is pretty good and yeah, the whole concept is super pretty.
Another product that was already waiting for me was the Básicos Germinal Micellar Water. I already have a full post on it because yeah... I love it. Click here to read more.
Next is the Gold Progress 24K Day Cream from Deliplus. At first I thought it was not hydrating enough but as I kept on using it I started to like it. It absorbs really, really fast and it doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky or looking oily. I wouldn't recommend it for dry skin tho~
Moving on to I❤MAKEUP, which I was really looking forward to check out because I really liked the lipsticks I tried before coming to Spain. Thye have pretty cute products that kinda remind me to the Too Faced ones but, a lot cheaper. From what I've seen, it is a British brand.
First we have the Lip Geek lippie in "Total Diva" (FPG01). At first it looks like a red color but once you apply it, it has a orange-ish tone to it. Thing is, this lippies are very creamy but are not way too pigmented so you can build up the color as you like.
Another one from this brand is the Lip Lava Liquid Lipstick in "Tremor". I got really excited when I saw it because I remember one of my favorite youtubers tried something similar and she loved it so I decided to get one just to try it. They have like 4 or 5 more colors.
Lip Lava is a super intense liquid lipstic formula with nourishing Vitamin E.
After using it a couple of times I can say the color is really pretty, pigmented, the applicator is ok, not messy, durability is good but, since my lips are too dry most of the time and especially now because of the cold, the color sets on those chapped lines at some point... lip balm required before applying if your lips are like mine.
Next is a Nail Polish from Essence. It is The Gel Nail Polish in "My Sparkling Darling" (86). It is such a beautiful glitter nail polish, I just couldn't resist. I don't have Essence back home and they have a ton of makeup products, really nice colors and it's pretty cheap! There are more colors like this one and I kinda feel I'll end up getting a few more.
That same day I got the nail polish I found this super cute beauty blender (or so I thought it was a beauty blender) that turned out to be a silisponge/beauty blender. So...yeah. We'll see how it works cuz my experience with silisponge wasn't all that great. This one is called Better Glowy and it's from Barcelona. I liked it because it has...glitter and...it's pink. The texture is different than the silisponge tho, it is a lot softer so I'm hoping I'll like it more.
We're almost done, I promise. From Deliplus Color, we have the Geisha lipstick with a sponge blending tip in "Rojo Intenso" (03). This is a brand you can only find in Mercadona, which is a supermarket. The Geisha line has other 4 lippie colors and mascaras. It is my first time tryin a lipstick with the sponge tip and I teally liked it. It has a matte finish and the durability is great. It said Geisha, I had to have it!
And lastly, is a Flor De Mayo Vasceline Lip Balm. We found this one in a supermarket (Consum) and they had like 5 different scents, I picked the Vanilla Cake one and my mom got a rasperry one I think. I believe Flor de Mayo is a local brand (Valencia) and I noticed they have other products there such as perfumes, they all look really cute. I've been using it a lot lately because even tho my lips are super dry all the time, it's getting worse with this cold weather!
And that is it (I think), at least for now. Let me know if you'd like to read more about a certain product or where to find them and stuff.
I'm still trying to put some other blogs together as well, I just am all over the place so, bare with my guys!!
Until next haul! xx
