The Lip Product Addict Tag


Hi everyone! This time I will attempt to make my first blog post in English.  

I've been watching recently on YouTube a tag called The Lip Product Addict Tag and since this tags are not limited to video replies, I decided to give it a try and make it in a blog post. There are 8 questions and basically I will answer all of them based on products that I have in my collection, which is not huge. I also wanted to do this tag since the available market in my country is not as huge as some other places and also trying to keep within certain budget. For me, a good lip product is not an uber expensive one. It can be a $2.00 lipstick/gloss that is not slippery o funny tasting. I wish I could pay $35.00 for a YSL lipstick and not feel guilty but I can't (I'd rather pay $35.00 for a lipset than for 1 product).  Anyways, taking that into consideration, let's get started.


1. Best balm/treatment:  For me it has to be the Fresh lip treatments. I got a deluxe sample size duo a couple years ago as a birthday perk from Sephora and it came a clear one and a rose tinted balm. This saved my lips during our trip to Orlando last December/January. It has also helped my daughter's lip whenever they are chapped. The results are almost immediate, you can see how smooth, soft, and shiny your lips will be as soon as it is applied. I could purchase a full size but they are $22.00 a piece and before that I will try some other cheaper alternatives (don't start a riot but for me, lip balm is not that important eventhough in a hot climate like ours it will work as well).


2. Best eye-catching red: I don't own may red lipsticks since I used to have braces some time ago and I always thought wearing bright lipstick will draw too much attention to my braces. Now that I don't have them, little by little I am starting to lose the fear of these colors. One of the reds that I have and I thought was too much for me but I have used it a couple times and I love it since it is a very deep red is Stila's stay all day liquid lipstick in the color Fiery. I got it with some other Stila products as part of a 500 point perk, again from Sephora. It is a gorgeous deep, matte but not drying lipstick and it lasts a very long time. 



3.  Best luxury and best drugstore: As I mentioned before, I do not own too many luxury brand lipsticks and as a result my best luxury lipstick will be my Marvelous Moxie lipstick, from BareMinerals, in Speak your Mind. This is such a beautiful pinky nude lipstick soooo creamy that I am seriously considering purchasing more. As for drugstore, my best: Revlon lipbutters. Sheer colors, so shiny, smooth, and light that they do not feel uncomfortable on the lips. They might not be the most long wearing products but that's fine with me, I do not mind reaplying.



4. Best MAC Lipstick: I feel ashamed because I only own 2 MAC lipsticks and my favorite from the 2 has to be Creme Cup. Another pinky nude lipstick that won't make me look like I'm dead. Nothing else to add.



5. Most dissapointing: for me it has to be Essence All About Cupcake (yes, go ahead, unleash the wrath). I had very high hopes for this brand since it is pretty new to our market here in Panama and, since it is very affordable, I expected not a MAC quality lipstick but at least like a  CoverGirl one. I didn't like this at all: the scent is too strong and lingers, it is slippery, feels oily and uncomfortable. If this lipstick is like that I don't think I will purchase another color from this brand.

6. Liner - yes or no? I will have to say no. I only have 2 and most of the times forget to use them. At all.


7. Best gloss: hands down Buxom lipglosses. I got a mini with an online order from, yes again, Sephora, and it made me want more so when a couple months later I saw that the 100 point perk was a full size, I decided I had to have it not only because of the color (again, pink) but also the name, Sophia, reminds me of my daughter (her name is Sophie but it is pretty close). I love the minty scent, the tingly and the cooling sensation the give and I am so ready to purchase more, online of curse.

8.  Something extra: I have to confess that I am not a big lip product person, I prefer eyeshadows and blushes but I really enjoy the jumbo lip crayons that everyone and their mother is launching. Clinique Chubby Sticks are so light and shiny; Revlon balm stains, love them; even the only one from ELF that I have. I just hope that our market will expand and I wish that products didn't take forever to get here.

Well, that will be all for now. Hope you enjoy my lip product addict Tag and thank you for stopping by.  Have a nice and see you in my next 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...

Por qué me ausenté

Ha pasado demasiado tiempo desde la última publicación que hice, como 3 años si no me equivoco. Básicamente, life got in the way, y ya no contaba con el tiempo para hacerlo. Además, no tenía el ánimo ni las ganas. Why you may ask? Porque estoy cansada de todo. Cansada de estar esforzándome e intentarlo, tomar fotos, editar, publicar y no ver nada. Cansada de que otra gente sin intentarlo y sin trabajar logran lo que yo tanto quiero y un millón de cosas y quejas más. Y, aunque estoy a un paso de acogerme al "cancel culture" y borrarme de las redes sociales, que me hacen trabajar más que mi propio 8-5 job, no lo haré.  Respiraré, me tomaré mi tiempo y veremos qué pasa. Rendirse no es una opción, en nada en la vida, le digo a mi hija. Y quién sería yo como ejemplo si no predico lo que digo. That means que tomaré aire, respiraré, and I'll try harder. Mantendré mi lealtad conmigo misma, mis ideas y principios, haré lo posible por no sentirme menos al no lograr lo ...

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...
