Spain Beauty & Makeup Haul!💅💆💋

Hi there!

Mom is back from Spain to visit and she brought a bunch of gifts with her. I have two Spain hauls to share with you guys. First, I'm gonna show you the beauty and makeup I recieved.

♥ Makeup

Rimmel London Extreme Black Wonder'full Mascara with Argan Oil. I not new to Rimmel and its products and yeah, I really like them. I've tried some of their mascaras before so I'm definitely looking forward to try this one.

More lippies to add to the collection! Woohoo!

Rimmel London The Only 1 Matte Lipstick in "Call the Shots" (120). It is a nice coral color with a red-ish tone to it.As the name says it, it has a matte finish. Funny thing is, it has a strong tamarind scent to it.

I ♥ Makeup Lip Geek Lipstick in "Just Have Fun" (FOD01).I think the color is pretty similar to the Rimmel one ↑ but this one is slightly lighter and with a creamy finish and...no scent! The packaging is just so cute!

♥ Skincare

I love skincare as much as I love makeup but I always want to go for Asian/American products so, it's always exciting to try some European brands.

First is the Cien Liftan Intensive Anti-wrinkle Eye Cream. With Q10, Hydraluronic Acid and Vitamin C. I've been meaning to buy a good night eye cream and since my mom already tried some of their products, I trust they willbe good.

Then comes the Germinal Micellar Water (Spanish brand). I am super duper excited to finally try micellar water. My mom has been raving about it since she tried it. I definitely will make a separate post once I try it.

And lastly, Diadermine lifting cream. It has a fresh subtle scent to it and feels very light weight. I tried their night cream before and I liked it!

♥ Hair

Mom got me the L'Oreal Paris Colorista Washout 1 week Color Pastel in...Pink!

I'm not someone who takes big risks when it comes tohair so I think this will be fun to play with. Apparently it lasts 2-3 shampoos. #Pink Hair

♥ Perfume 

"Luxurate in the happiness of sugar candy for an authentic Sweet Temptation"

You all know I suck at describing scents but, I'll try my best.

The Women'Secret Candy Temptation Eau de Toilette is the cutest thing ever. Frist of all the presentation screams "sweet", whichI love. The smell is kind of fruity and sweet but still fresh to wear as an everyday scent.

♥ Others

Mom also gave me this beautiful Carolina Herrera gold mirror. I think it looks so fancy! (and heavy!) It makes me want to find any excuse to take it out and show it. #InLove

And that is it for this beauty & Makeup haul. I have one more coming soon! Can't wait to try all of these and share with you all!

"Stay Matte"

Something that can't be missing in my make-up bag is my favorite pressed powder. I always use it along with my BB cream and just a bit of concealer.

I've been using "Stay Matte" Pressed Powder from Rimmel London for a few years now and I'm still in love with it. It works perfect with my mixed skin and prevents it from looking too shiny during the day. I tried using others but, I always come back to Rimmel, it's a great one!

Face after BB cream and some "Stay Matte"

I highly recommend it, it's a good product for a good price.

True Blood inspired make-up: Nora.

Hi loves!

I had a lot of fun trying Pam's make-up a while ago and I wanted to try some other True Blood inspired looks since then. I got the suggestion to try Nora's. (played by Lucy Griffiths)

Nora's make-up is totally different from Pam's. It's really soft and pink. I actually liked it! It could be used as an everyday look. Since Nora is a Vampire, it was kinda hard to find the exact colors she uses since she's always in the dark but, after looking at tons of pics I came out with this.

This will be my Nora palette from now on! Lol. The pink color was the base and the brown-goldish one helped me to create a deeper look applying it on the upper lid of the eyes. The one that's missing was a lovely sand color I used to love but sadly, it's gone. I never thought I would use the other 2 colors much til now.
I also used some black eye liner, pink blush and a pale pink lipstick.

And that's pretty much it from Eric's sister...

True Blood inspired make-up: Fangtasia's leading lady, Pam.

Hello tasty humans!

Pam (played by the beautiful Kristin Bauer Van Straten) has always been one of my favorite True Blood characters, and since season 6 keeps getting better and more intense each episode I decided to try a Pam inspired look. Sadly I couldn't match it with a hairstyle cuz my hair is way shorter than hers.

Pam always wears awesome outfits and in my opinion her make-up is pretty much about the eyes. For this look I wore smoky eyes using two shades of grey, black and lots of eyeliner and mascara. A very soft Pink blush and 2 different lipsticks to kinda create 2 versions of this look since I've seen Pam wearing super bright lips and soft and natural ones. I don't have Pam's super sexy, voluptuous lips though. :P

Softer lips look.

Red lips look.

I had lots of fun trying this look on even though I never wear this much make-up. Hope you guys like it!

Here comes the Bride-smaid!

Weekend wedding came with more make-up, hair and nails. So let's talk a little about what I decided to wear for my cousin's wedding.

As a bridesmaid I had to wear a red, long dress with pale grey pumps. I wanted to make it all red and silver. Accessories were kinda simple, a red and silver ring and silver long earrings. 

Full dress, sorry it's a really blurry pic!

Now it's all about make-up! Since red dress was too bright for me (I don't wear a lot of red) I decided to keep my make-up a little darker and focus on the eyes. 

* Eyes: (EP46) "Stormy" eye shadow palette from L.A. Colors, (P601) "Black"eyeliner and Mascara is Real Colors Whip Lash ULTIMATE MASCARA. I just started using it and I'm happy with it, beautiful lashes.

* Lips: Avon's Color trend "hot capuccino" it's a soft, creamy natural color. It matches my lips.

* Blush: Beauty Treats Sun bronzer 01. I only use this color for night events, this color is too dark for my skin tone but it still works.

* Base was my usual Sandstorm (004) from Rimmel London. I love it.

And last but no least my nails. I was really happy with the result of my Nude glittery nails, (http://www.monstar003.blogspot.mx/2012/08/nude-glittery-nails.html) so I decided to create the same look using a silver glitter polish (L.A. Colors Color Craze Sparkling Diamonds) mixed with the nude one. (Avon Nail wear pro "nude")

I was really happy with the way they looked. 

This whole process definitely made me dream of my own wedding...someday.

Romantic pink

While taking some pics for Valentine's Day posts, I decided to create an All-in-pink makeup for Valentine's Day.

With my eyes I decided to use a soft pink as a base and then add some hot pink eye shadow from the middle of the eye, to the rest of it. Then added some eye liner and mascara.

I don't usually wear pink on my cheeks but since this time it was All-in-pink, I used a hot pink blush powder.

Finally, Lips! Lips have a with a shiny pearlish hot pink.

On my face:
♥ Base powder: 004 Sandstorm by Rimmel London (one of my fave makeup brands)
♥ Eyes: 30 cuarteto by Bissú professional (hot pink), Pink avenue princess by Beauty control 12499 (soft pink, this one I got as a gift so, I don't really know where to find it but it's a lovely color), Eye liner P601 Black by L.A. Colors, Mascara Volum´Express by Maybelline New York (I always go for water proof)
♥ Cheeks: 32 rose silk by Jordana
♥ Lips: 570 Mauvelicious by Cover Girl

Hope you guys like this makeup idea for Valentine's Day :)
