So this weekend I had to buy a present for a friend and I coudn’t resist getting some goodies for myself…Passing by the CHANEL counter I found some beautiful shades for the season.

Joues Contraste in VIVACITE 88: Gorgeous deep/dark almost purple pink. This color brings warmth and instant life to your cheeks. Perfect shade of pink blush for the Summer.

Levres Scintillantes Glossimer in 119. Perfect nude/pink gloss to enhance your natural lip color with a hint of shimmer. Love, love this lip. Great to use during the day and perfect to pair with a bold smoky eye at night.

Stylo Yeux Waterproof in BLEU METALLIQUE 909. Fabulous aqua/green metallic blue shade. I believe this color looks great on light and brown eyes. I tried it on Saturday night on my lower lashes and it looked great…The only problem is that it is not as long lasting as I expected. I will be using it a lot this Summer and try fun colorful looks with it.

*Check out my previous post to see the the swatches.

Muahhhhhh!

Miami was always sunny and beautiful, very hot but beautiful nonetheless. Now that I live in Madrid I am so glad that Spring is here…That means Summer is just around the corner and it also means It’s time to start shopping fun and colorful nail polishes. My latest are these from Ciate!

“Access All Areas” is a coral/red warm shade (I used it on my toes)
“Headliner” Turquoise color…gorgeous blue and green cocktail (I used it on my hands)
“Antique Brooch” This one I have yet to try but it looks glittery, gold, and sparkly! I will get back to you on this one 😉

*I must add that the first two colors need a shine coat on top because otherwise the color is very matte.

Givenchy Blush Gelee: Gives and amazing natural rosy glow (This is a limited edition product).

Benefit High Brow Glow: Great for defining your brows and also for giving a little sheen to your brow bone.

Chanel Ligne Graphique Liquid Eyeliner in Bonze: Perfect for a more natural cat eye for daytime or you can also use it for a night out on top of black eyeliner for a more intense and bolder look!

Chanel Contour Shadow brush #14: It’s small and perfect for smudging a line with precision
(whatever that means) great also to smudge eyeshadow on lower lashes.

A couple of beauties I got in Rome!!!

A couple of beauties I got in Rome!!!

Tom Ford Lip Color in NUDE VANILLE: Beautiful, creamy, nude lipstick. Very hydrating and has a delightful vanilla scent.

Tom Ford Nail Lacquer in Fever Pink: Great vibrant pink and the color is very saturated which I love. Perfect shade for Spring/Summer.

Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in KISS YOU: Okay so…I hate lip glosses, most of them are sticky and make me look so over done. BUT, this one I love because it is not sticky at all and it is very hydrating. It also plumps my lips and they have a sheen to it but not like if you just ate a greasy empanada. The color is like a plum/pinkish shade and it loves my light, olive skin.

YSL Baby Doll Kiss & Blush in #9: I must say that at first I just wanted to buy it because the packaging is so cute and it looks like a nail polish, but in reality it is a creamy/matte lip and cheek stain. I love matte lip products but sometimes they can make your lips look dry and cakey. NOT THIS ONE! This one has a beautiful finish that makes my lips feel very soft and you can make the color as light or as bold as you wish. The color I chose #9 is a nude pinky color that works great for day and night. Must have for this season 😉
