Proyecto No Buy - Marzo 2014

Hola a todos y bienvenidos nuevamente. En esta ocasión quiero compartir un "pequeño" pero ambicioso proyecto. Ambicioso por lo menos para mí y les explico el por qué.

Siendo una entusiasta de los productos cosméticos, en especial el maquillaje y uno que otro tratamiento de belleza, estoy constantemente comprando una cosa o la otra y, desde diciembre del año pasado hasta el día 28 de febrero de 2014, mi colección ha ido aumentando (conste, la imagen es solo con propósitos ilustrativos). Pero, ¿cuál es el problema con esto? Básicamente que se tiende a olvidar todo lo que se tiene por darle "amor" a la última paleta comprada, o por probar la más reciente máscara de pestañas que se compró, etc. Y no solo eso, el gasto sube, y sube, y sube...

El Proyecto "No Buy" se trata precisamente de eso, no comprar. En mi caso en particular está el no comprar maquillaje o productos de belleza por todo el mes de marzo, salvo algo esencial que se me esté acabando (ejemplo: base, polvos sueltos o compacto, rimel) pero no creo que necesite comprar ya que tengo disponibles. En este tiempo también aprovecharé para tratar de terminarme aquellos productos que quedan "a medio palo" porque llega un niño nuevo a la cuadra.

En aproximadamente 15 días les daré una actualización de cómo ya el proyecto y cuando lo haga nuevamente, será igual por periodos de 1 mes a la vez porque para mí es más realista y realizable que ponerme una meta a seis meses y no lograrla a la semana de haber empezado.

Como nota adicional, solamente para "pat myself on the back", ayer fuimos al mall para matar tiempo mientras reposábamos la comida antes de ir al Play Land Park (los que estamos en Panamá saben de qué les hablo) porque quería zapatos. ¿Saben qué? Solamente me concentré en los zapatos y no me asomé por el pasillo del maquillaje y tampoco entré a la tienda que está ahí que es de solo maquillaje. Pude resistir la tentanción; por ahora vamos bien.

Por el momento es todo lo que quería contarles. Deséenme suerte y hasta el próximo post! :)

Quick Review: Tatcha Pure One-Step Camellia Cleansing Oil

Hi everyone! I have a quick post on a product that I recently purchased, tried and enjoyed a lot. It is the Tatcha Pure One-Step Camellia Cleansing Oil. I bought the 0.8 oz. bottle back in September ($12.00 the travel size and $48.00 for 5.1 oz) and about a week after I received it I used and I did not like it, at all but this thing has instructions and a little learning curve. But let me tell you about it: Tatcha is a relatively new to Sephora, it is a luxury brand, kind of pricey, and its founder, while traveling in Japan, met with a Geisha who share their ancient beauty secrets, which were improved with a little help of science and they have very good reviews, on almost every single one of their products. As for the cleansing oil, this is what Sephora's webpage says: "This beautiful blend of botanical oils thoroughly cleanses the skin without stripping it of its natural moisture—an essential first step for any skincare ritual. Formulated without...

Christmas Beauty Haul

Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog. This time I'd like to share my Christmas beauty haul. I know it is a little late but hey, better late than never. So let's get started: First stop was a new brand for me that is all over Youtube: Colour Pop Cosmetics . This brand is quite new and they have so far, eye shadows and lipsticks (or lippie stix) and lip liners. Every individual item, whether it is an eye shadow or a lippie stix is only $5.00 and once you hit the $30.00 mark, you get free shipping withing the USA. Believe me, reaching the $30.00 is quite easy. This is what my package looked like before I decided to bust it open. It came with one of the Christmas sets that I ordered and an additional lippie stix. Another thing to keep in mind when making your first order is that, when you subscribe you can get $5.00 off that very first purchase so more reason to buy. Let me show you what I got: This was one of the Holiday Collection...

First Impression - YSL Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils

Hi everyone! Welcome back to my blog. For this post I have a very special piece of info to share with you guys. This will be a first impressions on a high end mascara that I am still surprised to have received. I was "invited" to enroll into Influenster 's community in order to receive and review products and this time I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. This is one of the very few high end, full size mascaras that I have owned and lets get started. YSL decided to reformulate one of their most iconic products and changed the formula in order to have a new Lash Care formula. It claims that it will give you intense volume, intense color and, now, intense care. It contains B5 Pro-Vitamin that will strengthen and proctect the lashes. This mascara can be purchased where ever YSL is sold and for reference, price is around $32.00. It comes in 6 colors, at least that is what I was able to see on Sephora's w...
