First stop: Primor. To start with, I was looking for Pistripe blusher by The Balm, which I saw Viola (Killer Colours) talk about and I thought it was such a unique and beautiful colour, besides, I love the packaging in this brand. In her blog you can see better pictures than I can really take.
También iba directa a por la mascara de Essence, I ♥ Extreme, porque la que he terminado de Kiko me gustaba, pero después de pocas horas ya estaba modo Courtney Love en un after, y eso que era waterproff. Pregunté por instagram y Lys de Shirayuki's Beauty (que tiene un blog genial cruelty-free que tenéis que seguir YA) me dijo que esta máscara cumplía mis requisitos: cepillo de silicona, cruelty free, resistente al agua (que no waterproff), pudiera conseguirse en España y asequible -pero que MUY asequible es ésta-. Ya os hablaré extendidamente de ella si queréis ;).
I was also straight to get Essence's mascara "I ♥ Extreme", because the Kiko one I was using was good, but after a few hours of wear, I looked like Courtney Love after a long weekend, and it was waterproff. So I asked on Instagramand Lys from Shirayuki's Beauty (who runs a great cruelty-free blog) told me that this mascara fulfilled : silicon brush, cruelty-free, water resistant (not waterproff), available in Spain and affordable -and it's REALLY affordable this one-. I can make a post reviewing it if you want.
Luego, como siempre, te lías y cotilleas, pero solo caí con este bronceador de Makeup Revolution, Vivid Baked Bronzer "Ready to go", al que le eché el ojo hace tiempo, pero solo quedaban testers en ese momento. Me acerqué y vi que estaba disponible, pero me crucé con otro colorete/bronceador de w7, más barato, y casi me lo llevo, pero luego viendo el swatch uno al lado del otro, vi que el de MUR tenía el brillo infinitamente más fino, en el de w7 se veían las partículas, así que vi clara la decisión. Muy muy contenta con él, el color es precioso, el brillo es muy fino y lo uso un poco como bronceador/colorete/contorno/iluminador/sombra/pa' tó'. Muy muy recomendado. El packaging es la única pega, fácilmente rompible.
Then, as always, you start gossiping around, but i just picked this Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Bronzer in "Ready to go". I came across a w7 blusher/bronzer, and it was cheaper, and I almost got it instead, but then I saw the swatches next to each other and the glitter particles were evident, so my decision was clear. I'm so happy I got it, the colour is gorgeous, the shimmer is fine as hell and I use it as bronzer/blusher/contour/highlighter/eye shadow/everything. I really recommend it. The only con it's that the packaging is cheap, easily breakable.
La Beauty Blender que veis no me la compré, si no que Primor organizó un concurso en el que premió a 10 personas que subieran su maquillaje de "alfombra roja", y yo fui una de las afortunadas *discurso de miss de pueblo*. Todavía estoy probándola, pero os haré una comparativa con la que yo ya tenía de Beauty Market.
This Beauty Blender you see here was given to me by Primor, because they organized a contest in which there were 10 winners, I was one of them. I'm still testing it out, but I can make a Beauty Blender vs. Beauty Market (the one I had before this) post.
-Velvet Touch Creamy Stick Blush (colorete en stick) tono "03- Coral Rose". Me volví loca y me cogí un rosa claro. Digo loca porque yo huyo de esos tonos, pero bueno, pelillos a la mar. La verdad es que lo he usado y no me queda mal, así que éxito.
-Sombra en stick en el tono "Smoky Grey". Siempre quise una de éstas y aunque me gustaría que tuvieran un color marrón clarito al que le pueda dar uso todos los días, me cogí este tono, sin brillo ni nada, y me pareció muy versátil.
-Delineador Smart Lip Liner en "Bright Geranium". Tan barato que estaba, y tanto que me gusta esta línea de lápices (el que tengo lo llevo solo y tan a gusto), que decidí que era mi oportunidad para probar los labios naranjas. Estaba yo muy acenturera ese día. Al final fui a por todas y ya me hice con un pintalabios a juego en Flormar jiujiujiu.
Kiko was on sale, and I went to pick a hundred of my favourite lipstick, Smart Lipstick in "918- Classic Rose". This wasn't on sale so I prefered to wait until it was, even though it's already cheap. These things you see here were on sale:
-Velvet Touch Creamy Stick Blush "03- Coral Rose". I went crazy and I picked a light pink colour. I say crazy because I run away from these shades, but hey, I want to try new things. The truth is that I used it and it doesn't look bad on me, so cool.
-Sombra en stick en el tono "Smoky Grey". I always wanted one of these but I'd like them to have a light brown shade for everyday makeup, no shimmer, so I bought this one, which I think it's really versatile.
-Delineador Smart Lip Liner en "Bright Geranium". It was so cheap, and I love this lip pencils so much (the one I have I can wear on its own and it's amazing), that I decided to give bright orange a chance. I was adventurous that day, eh? I finally went total cray and also picked up a matching lipstick in Flormar.
La segunda quise aprovechar el descuento que me dieron, y encima estaban de rebajas, así que las dos cositas me salieron tiradas de precio.
-El rotulador de cejas, Eyebrow Liner "01" lo escogí porque yo tenía un dúo de Soap&Glory, y amaba la parte de rotulador, pero se secó siglos atrás, y esa marca no está disponible en España, de momento (crucemos dedos). Me gustan los rotuladores porque son los únicos con los que consigo pintar mi cicatriz de la ceja y éste lo hace muy bien, pero si me lo echo a lo loco por toda la ceja, me quedo un poco Cara Delavigne, y no creo que me favorezca como a ella. La punta es bastante más fina de lo que parece en la foto de la web.
-La barra de labios no es TAN naranja como el delineador, pero era lo más naranja que tenían, y la verdad es que es muy cómodo. A lo tonto me gusta mucho el color en mí.
-I was in Flormar twice, first time I got the Miracle Pen Slim Touch (check out my review here) and the purple lip liner, since I'm a fan of dark lips but I didn't own a proper lip liner.
Second time I used the discount they gave me, and they were on sale, so I spent very little money on these two things:
-Eyebrow Liner "01" I picked it because I used to have a Soap&Glory duo thing, and I loved the felt tip part of it, but it dried out centuries ago, and this brand is not available in Spain. I love felt tip eyebrow pencils, because they are the only ones that cover the scar in my left brow, and this one works really well. Bad thing is, I have to be careful if I use it all over my brows, because I can go a bit Cara Delavinge, and I can't rock the strong brow quite like her, let's leave it there. The tip is quite thin, more than it appears to be on the website.
-The lipstick, Flormar Deluxe Cashmere Stylo Lipstick "DC22", is not AS orange as the lip liner, but it was the most orange they had, and it's really confortable.
Flormar Lip Liner "231"
Flormar Eyebrow Liner "01"
Flormar Miracle Pen Slim Touch "Emerald Green"
Kiko Smart Lip Pencil "705-Bright Geranium"
Flormar Deluxe Cashmere Stylo Lipstick "DC22"
Kiko Velvet Touch Creamy Stick Blush "03- Coral Rose"
Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Bronzer "Ready to go"
The Balm Instain Blush "Pinstripe"
Kiko Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow "33- Smoky Grey"
Then Viola, again, tempted me with this perfume, Nuxe Prodigieux and I was on the search of an everyday scent. I'm really picky with my perfumes and I hadn't smelled this one in my life, but I went for it. I LOVE the smell of it, it's the perfect mixture between sweet and fresh, floral but mature. I can't stand sweet smells, like synthetic ones, they make me dizzy, and my favourite perfume used to be Eau Fraiche by Gucci, but none remembers to buy it for me for Christmas or my birthday, and it's not precisely cheap *sobs*. This doesn't smell nothing like it, but I love it anyway and it's much more affordable. Plus I love the bottle.
Next post will be about my purchases in Meow Cosmetics, and I wanted to do a separated post because this was already too long, and because I want to give more details, since it was an international Internet purchase.
