Small Elf Haul - March 2015


Hi everyone! An extra post for this week since yesterday I picked up my ELF haul from the Presindent's Day sale. Everything was 40% off site wide but I mostly purchased some backups since I am trying to save for Sephora's Spring sale in early April. Who am I kidding? I most definately purchase something before that!!

Anyways, most of the things that I purchased for myself  were on recommendation from Youtubers/beauty bloggers so I thought "why not".



One of the first things that I picked up were the elf Studio Makeup Remover Cleasing Cloths. Each pack comes with 20 pre-moistened cloths and since Dani, from Coffeebreakwithdani raves about them I decided to try them out. They retail for $3.00 the pack and with the discount I ended up paying $1.80 for each.



Another thing that I decided to try out is the elf Studio High Definition Undereye Setting Powder (wao! That was a mouthfull!). I have seen several Youtubers talking wonders about this powder and I have seen how beautifully it works and highlights the undereye area. It is a tiny container and comes with a teeny tiny crappy brush that I just threw away.  Once I am done with my current setting powder I will start using it.  Just as an FYI, I have heard that a little goes a very long way.



I chose two lip products: a liquid lipstick from the Essential line in Pink Lemonade (it is the glittery pink one on the right). With liquid lipsticks being so on trend right now, I thought I will try with a cheap one. Loved the color although it is not even close to the so called swatch that I saw online. Heck, it was less than $1.00 so why not.  Also I chose a Moisturizing Lipstick from the Studio line in the color Ravishing Rose, a gorgeous rose color. I love this lipsticks: they are so cheap, comfortable to use, creamy and have a very nice scent.


Finally, and since I love brow products, I picked up this new product. It is an Instant Lift Brow Pencil, a brow pencil with spoolie to fill in the brows and blend the color away. I will try it very soon, so far I liked how the color swatched on my hand.


Well guys, that will be all for now.  I will keep you posted if I try anything soon. Thank you for taking time to visit my blog and I'll 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...
