Hello beauties!

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and lots of makeup brands take advantage of this day to release special editions and offers. I don't tend to celebrate it, but I have to admit most of the products are super cute and pretty and I've thought it would be a good idea to share them with you!

If you've been following me for a while, you probably know how much I love Colourpop products. Not only they are affordable, but the quality is amazing and they release amazing collaborations!

How cute is their Valentine's collection for 2022? I love the heart-shaped blushes and the tonalities that they have chosen for the products.

Even though not all makeup brands release a Valentine's Day collection, some of them have cute-relatable products. Like TooFaced Love Flush Blush, or I Heart Revolution Heart Breakers eyeshadow palettes.

Kisses!

 

Hello beauties!

You all know how much I love make up and Sanrio characters - I love everything that is kawaii tbh. So when a make up brand releases a collection in collaboration with Sanrio or anything cute I just can't help myself but falling in love with it and wanting to get everything (lol!).

It's not the first time that Wet N Wild collaborates with Sanrio. Their first collaboration was the 'Wet N Wild x My Melody & Kuromi' which i talked about on this post. I could only get my hands on the blush + highlighter palette and one of the lipsticks as I discovered it way too late... 

I guess they were really happy with how the collaboration went so they have decided to release a second one featuring "Little twin Stars"!

I have to say I like everything that's on it! I feel like this second collaboration has more products compared to the first one. The eyeshadow palette colours include warm & pastel tones such as blue and pink/purple ones which makes it very cute and matches perfectly the spirit of the characters.

Let me tell you what it includes:

- 15 pan eyeshadow Palette

- Primer / setting spray

- Two blush / highlighters palettes

- 4 eye pencils kit

- Brushes & make up sponges

- Lipsticks & lip glosses

- Lip masks

- A cute make up brush cup

- Make up sponge case

- Make up bag

The packaging is beyond beautiful and kawaii, full of pastel colours which gets in line perfectly with the Sanrio characters Kiki & Lala! Also they sell a box that contains the whole collection - it costs $74,99.

If you are from the US you can get this collection throught the Wet N Wild official website and also at Ulta stores. Unfortunately Wet N Wild doesn't ship internationally so I'm just hoping this collection arribes to more countries! (hopefully Spain is one of them >.<).

Kisses!

Hello beauties!

If you love cute and kawaii stuff, love Sanrio and are into make up and cosmetics then you should keep reading! Nowadays there are lots of cosmetic brands which decide to collaborate and release a line featuring one of Sanrio characters: specially Hello Kitty and My Melody. I want to show you a few of these collaborations, some of them are still available and you can get them online! :)

It's not the first time Colourpop releases a Hello Kitty collaboration. The first one was launched last Christmas and they released a new one this summer called Tropical Scape. I had to get my hands on some of the products, Colourpop is just an amazing brand: the quality never fails to impress and the prices are super affordable! You can still find it on their website, plus colourpop ships internationally! (Let me know if you would like me to do a review!)

We all know how amazing is Wet N Wild: they offer low cost make up and the quality of their products is above excellent. But if you mix it with Sanrio then it's even better! I discovered this collection way too late so I could just get my hands on the blush palette and a lipstick as the rest of it was sold out everywhere :( I can tell you the quality is excellent and it's super kawaii, I'd have loved to get the eyeshadow palette! Sadly I believe it's already sold out almost everywhere...

I discovered this brand recently and trust me when I tell you this collection is so cute! You can find from face masks, lip balms, hand creams to even lipsticks and a long etcetera of cosmetics! The best part: everythig is Sanrio themed! They practically ship within the US but they offer international shipping to some countries (not to Spain sadly...)

You can find this one on YesStyle, and it's super kawaii as well! Just look at it, don't you feel like getting absolutely everything? >.<

Hello beauties!

Before starting talking about Rilakkuma Beauty, I want to know your opinion on the new blog design :) I've decided it was time for a change so I decided to invest on a blogger theme design and tbh I'm really happy with the result! I hope you like it as much as I do!

Recently I discovered Rilakkuma Beauty on Instagram. I'm a big fan of Rilakkuma, I think it's the cutest thing in the world ^-^ Also in 2016 the Korean make up brand called A Pieu released a Rilakkuma edition of their make up products: I could get my hands on a cushion (which I'm keeping like it's gold even though I finished it long time ago) but I regret not purchasing anything else :( It was really nice, I wish they released it again!

When I found out about Rilakkuma Beauty I became so happy, even though they don't have make up products as it's focused on Skincare. But the packaging is so adorable it makes you want to buy absolutely everything >.<

You can find from under eyes masks, hydrating masks, nose pore strips, cleansing wipes to even hand cream! I was checking out their website and It seems like they only ship within the US though :( You can get it through Hotopic as well!

I'm happy to have discovered Rilakkuma Beauty! Everything involving this cute bear and its friends is always so cute and kawaii! I wish it was easier to buy for non US residents though... To be honest I'd love for a make up brand to do another collaboration with San-X, I feel like I wouldn't be able to help myself but to buy everything! (lol)

Kisses!

Hello beauties!

During the Christmas period I bought quite a lot of make up – which I'm taking my time to review (but don't worry, I will at some point!). And one of the items I got is this nice eyeshadow palette from a brand called The Balm.

I always wanted to get my hands on this brand as I've been hearing very nice reviews – and let's be honest, the packaging is amazing and i'm a sucker for nice, cute packaging ;_; So when I found this cute shadow palette in offer I couldn't resist myself.

First of all let's talk about the number of shadows and the variety of colours. It has a total of 12 shadows: 6 matte and 6 shimmer. I have to say I like the colour combination, it's very versatile and it allows you to create both day-to-day and dramatic / night looks. Something to point out is that it comes with a dark green matte & shimmer tone which is not very common and I find quite original and out of the ordinary. Also it comes with a nice mirror, which always comes in very handy!

The look I decided to do was inspired by the Ariana Grande positions album (obviously it didn't came out exactly as I was planning to, but I was quite happy with the final result though). Basically my idea was to create a cut crease using nude tones! The tones that I used were very pigmented, i noticed quite a lot of fall-out when picking the shadow but as I always say – that's not really a problem to me. 

In conclusion I'm very happy with the purchase, the eyeshadow palette has good quality and a variety of original and versatile tones, which allows you to play with it and create nice and beautiful looks!

Kisses!

Hello beauties!

I know that these are being hard times and definitely not the best for traveling, but we need to keep our hopes up! Hopefully in some months the situation gets better and we are allowed to travel again! Staying positive is the most important.

But in the meanwhile, let me show you some nice and affordable eyeshadow palettes that I own and that are perfect for traveling; not only because of their size – which won't take much space– but also because of the variety and versatility of colours! You will be able to create nice colourful, day & night looks without spending crazy money :) 

This palettes are not only affordable – they cost 2,99€ – but their quality is really good! Each one has a total of 9 shades, mattes & shimmer combined. I have the Bare All Raw and it has nice earthy-nude tones. On the other hand, I haven't tried yet the Soft hues aquamarine, I felt like I wanted to try colours that are out of my comfort zone – but I am really looking forward to test it :) 

Wet n Wild is one of my favourite low cost brands, and trust me, if you haven't tried this palettes you totally have to! The brand has released lots of them in different tones, but the ones I have are 'Rosé in the air' (it reminds me of the modern reinassance palette) and 'Nude awakening'. I use them a lot as the colours are super versatile: you can create nice night & day looks and the quality is amazing. Its prices vary from 5 to 7€ – they are not expensive at all, and it comes with a total of 10 shades.

This one is a bit more expensive than the ones I have showed you before (definitely not low cost), but completely worth to mention it! I got it as a birthday present this month and I L-O-V-E IT! It has a total of 6 shades: 3 mattes and 3 shimmers. I got the palette number 1, which is the one with more nude, neutral day-to-day tones. The pigmentation is amazing and I couldn't be more in love with the final result. It costs 24,99€, a bit expensive for the number of shades you get if you compare it with the rest of the palettes I've mentioned. But if you consider the quality of it and the final results, I'd say to go for it and get yourself one! (or more...) I think it's one of those make up items that are worth purchasing when they are on sale, like for black friday – specially if you want to save some €€.

Kisses! xx

Hello beauties!

I'm sorry I have been absent around here, there's a lot going on in my life right now and I'm trying to figure out lot of things. I'm not having the best time of my life, but I'm trying to keep positive and carry on, hoping better times will come!

I'm very excited to tell you that around November, I finally decided to order from colourpop! And obviously I had to buy the Sailor Moon x Colourpop makeup edition! I've talked about it lots of times on the blog – you know i'm such a big fan of Sailor Moon! It's a collection that was re-stocked and sold out many times, that's why they didn't have all the items available (if you want to know more about it, you should check out the post I wrote about it some months ago). But luckily for me, they had what I wanted the most: the eyeshadow palette + the blushes!

Let's first talk about the eyeshadow palette, called 'Pretty guardian'. If you love pastel colours then this eyeshadow is for you! It has a total of 12 shades  – a combination of matte, foiled, metallic and pressed pigment! It's good to create nice, original pastel looks, but also natural ones!

Some shades have a lot of fallout, but it's not really a problem as the overall pigment is amazing and they all blend really well! Obviously, there are colours that need more build up, and I noticed that some of the shades that have a light gold flip turn out to look more matte (which I prefer, as I tend to use more matte colours).

The blush shade that I got is called 'Cat's eye': it's a cute rosey pink shade with silver pinpoints. I absolutely loved it! The pigment is amazing and it gives a nice natural look on the cheeks! It blends well and is very lightweight! Recommend it 100%

Another thing that I need to mention about this collection is the packaging: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! It's beautiful, it has like a holographic effect that changes depending on how you move the pack! I just fell in love with it.

If you are a huge fan of Sailor Moon, I totally recommend to get this collection: you will love it! Not only it's good quality, but it's affordable and adorable! At the moment is still available on their website, so if you feel like treating yourself, now it's the moment!

What about you, have you tried Colourpop?

Kisses!

Hello beauties!

In November it was the 11.11 or the so called 'singles day', and that means = offers and discounts in lots of websites! (my materialistic side can't help but to love November for this). It is also very popular on Aliexpress, as it is the time of the year when they sell products with lots of discounts – something as a black friday for them. 

I couldn't help myself but to prepare my shopping cart with stuff that I wanted to buy since long time ago, and that's what I want to show you today! I have received everything since we are already in January and I have to admit that I am very happy with all the items! 

The first things I decided to buy were face masks: my brother told me he buys them through Aliexpress as they are way more affordable and he was totally right. I bought for myself and a friend a pack of 100 black surgical masks for only 14€ and a pack of 50 FFP2 KN95 masks for 13€. Of course you have to make sure they are trust-worthy masks so I ensured to check all the reviews.

Another thing I love to buy on Aliexpress are phone cases, I recently changed my phone so I decided to get some! I also bought a cute cable protector for the charger! My purchases also include some beauty tools, silver jewerly (trust me – buying silver on Aliexpress is super cheap and it can be real one!) and stationary items such as highlighters and pens etc.

As you can see there's a variety of items!

Kisses!

Hello beauties!

In today's post I am bringing you back this section of the blog where I talk about the best products of different low cost brands. If you are interested in checking out the other ones you can find them here:

Today's brand is called W7, it's from the UK and has amazing products at super low cost prices! 

w7 has plenty of eyeshadow palettes, some of them are amazing and that includes the Socialité one! I bought it some months ago and did a review in case you are interested! Its price: 6,95€

This foundation has amazing reviews – it gives a juicy and hydrated finish to the skin which has made everyone fall in love with it! And the best of all is the quality and its price: only 3,99€!

w7 is well known as well for the quality/price of its lashes! You have plenty of options to choose from, and most of them cost only 2,99€!

If you are looking for a quality non sticky primer, which leaves a hydrated and soft feeling to the skin you have found the one! It's price: 3,99€

I've been reading really good reviews about w7 glitter eyeliners specially since the glitter stays in place when it dries. The truth is that they are super beautiful and they only cost 2,49€!

I know I'm probably forgetting some others! Such as lipsticks, bronzers, etc. I have tried some of w7 products, and I'm very happy with them! I'm thinking on doing a post with the products that I own from the brand :)

Kisses!
