My Eveveryday Make Up Routine 2017

I think it's been a while since I have posted my everyday make up routine and I just realised that I have changed many of the products that I was using before during this year. That's why I thought it was going to be a great idea to do an updated post to show you my new everyday make up routine with all the new products I have incorporated into it.
First of all, I would like to say that for my everyday makeup I like to keep it very natural and basic. This is a very simple routine that only takes me around five minutes to do and it helps me to look better and more put together but it's a very subtle type of makeup. So, if you like something that is more glamorous maybe you can use this as the base for your make up routine and add more eyeshadows, or an eyeliner to make this makeup look more interesting. I also do that when I have some kind of event and I want my makeup to be more visible but for my normal life, this would be enough.

First, in regards to the foundation, I don't normally wear any for my everyday routine because, as I said, I like my makeup to be super natural. That's why I tend to wear a BB Cream because they will keep your skin hydrated, even your skin tone and add a little bit of color without covering that much. I am currently wearing the Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream from Kiehl's in the shade Natural and I'm loving this product. It's very light and moisturizing and I love that it has Vitamin C and SPF 50! This particular shade it's a little bit lighter for my skin tone but as it doesn't cover that much you can't really see the difference. Also if my skin doesn't look very good one day and I have many imperfections, I would choose to wear a foundation because, as I said, this BB Cream doesn't cover a lot.

Then I would apply my concealer. Right now I'm using the Sheer Eye Zone Corrector by Shiseido in the shade 104 Natural Ochre. I have never tried Shiseido products before but I'm really happy I got this concealer because it has a very nice color that matches perfectly with my skin tone and it does cover pretty well the dark zone under my eyes. Another thing I love about this product is that it comes with a very practical brush which makes it super easy to apply the concealer.

The next step is something that I just recently added to my routine and that is the eye primer. I always wanted to try an eye primer to see how it works and this year when I was in Croatia, I bought the I love Colour Intensifying Eyeshadow base by Essence because I can't get this brand here in Argentina and I'm pretty satisfied with it. I notice that it helps my eyeshadow to stay in place throughout the day and also I feel like the eyeshadow colour looks better with this product.

For the eyeshadow, I normally like to wear a colour that will help me to illuminate my eyes, so I always look for some champagne, light beige kind of colour and I'm currently using the Vamp! Compact Eyeshadow from Pupa in the shade 101 Vanilla. I think this tone is just perfect, it looks so natural and bright and another thing I love about it is that it's matte because I don't like wearing shimmery eyeshadows for a normal day.

After that, I apply the mascara. At the moment, I'm using the False Lash Architect by L'Oréal and I'm in love with it. I was using another mascara from this brand, the Volume Million Lashes Excess, which was also pretty good by I think the False Lash Architect has a better brush, it really separates my lashes and makes them look longer.

Last but not the least I will apply something to my lips. For a normal day, I may just go with a lip balm but if I want my makeup to look better I would apply this Mac Matte lipstick in the shade Velvet Teddy. This color is so nice and delicate that I really love to wear it, even though I don't normally wear anything on the lips. It really complements the nice and natural look.

So that's it for my everyday make up routine! I hope you like it and please let me know which are your favorite products for an everyday look, I would love to read your comments! Have a great week!! :)

My New Favourite Mascara

I heard once that it's necessary to change your mascara once every three months because it gets full of different bacteria that ends up damaging your eyes. So whenever I need to buy a new mascara, I always try to take the opportunity to try a different one. I was using a very nice mascara from Revlon but I got a little bored of it because it was a little bit too heavy to use it every day and it was very difficult to take it out. And, on top of that, my Revlon mascara had already met the 3 months deadline so it was time for a change.
I decided to try a different brand this time, so I ended up buying one from L'Oréal because I have never tried their mascaras and I'm very surprised with the good quality they have.
I chose one called Volume Million Lashes Excess, which is not waterproof so it's perfect to wear it every day and it's very light but still it makes my lashes look so long and thick it's really great!
I also love the brush it has because it makes it a lot easier to apply the mascara in my lashes. So, I'm very satisfied with this mascara and I hope you find this little review helpful! Let me know if you use this product or if you recommend any other mascara from L'Oréal :)

My Trip's Beauty Nécessaire

Como les comenté en mi post anterior, cada vez me falta menos para mi viaje a Europa así que en esta ocasión, les quería compartir lo que ya estoy guardando en mi nécessaire. Estas son las primeras cosas que puse,todavía me falta terminar pero como tengo tiempo, acepto cualquier sugerencia que tengan de cosas que deba agregar :)

As I said in my previous post, I'm getting closer to the date of my trip to Europe and in this case I wanted to share with you the things I am packing for my beauty nécessaire. These are the first things I packed and I still have to finish but I have time, so I accept any suggestions you may have :)

Este es mi nécessaire de Rip Curl que me encanta porque tiene mucho espacio y me permite guardar todas las cosas que necesito. / This is my nécessaire from Rip Curl, I love it becuase it has a lot of space and I can pack all the things I need in it.

Toallitas quitaesmalte que me resultan mucho más prácticas y cómodas que llevar el quitaesmalte líquido y algodón. / Nail polish removing pads, which I find much more practical than the liquid nail polish remover. 

Agua micelar que me encanta porque no solo quita el maquillaje, limpia la piel sino que también la humecta, así que llevo un solo producto para varias funciones de mi ruina facial/ Micelar water, which I love because not only removes make up and cleans the skin but also is very hydrating, so I can use only one product for several tasks of my skin care routine.

Sérum para el pelo en tamaño de viaje, todavía no lo usé pero ya me convenció el hecho de que venga en una versión para llevar de viaje. Muy práctico! / Travel size hair serum, I haven't tried yet but I love that they offer a travel size version of this product. Very practical!

Muestras de cremas, sérum y base de Dior, siempre que compro algo en la perfumería mi vendedora de Dior me regala algunas muestras de nuevos productos y son muy útiles para llevar en los viajes / Sample size products, I have these sérum and foundation samples from Dior that my sales lady offers me to try whenever I buy something and they are very practical to take with me on trips.

Paleta de maquillajes: esta paleta de Dior me encanta ya que tiene 3 tonos de sombras muy lindos y que se adaptan a cualquier ocasión, además de tener dos opciones de brillo labial. / Make up Palette: I love this palette from Dior because it has 3 beautiful eyeshadow tones that are very easy to wear for any occasion and it also has 2 tones of limp balm.

Hair Review: L'Oréal Elvive Kera-Liso Mascarilla

Siempre me gusta probar nuevos productos para el cabello y hace un par de semanas me compré esta nueva mascarilla instantánea de L'Oréal Elvive porque se veía muy prometedora en la perfumería. Es un producto que tiene como objetivo dejar el pelo lacio y, lo que es más importante para mi, sin frizz hasta por 48 horas.
Cuando lo usé por primera vez, noté rápidamente el perfume rico y dulce que tiene esta mascarilla y además tiene una textura cremosa muy ligera. Cuando lo apliqué en seguida sentí mi cabello más hidratado y nutrido y también noté como se iba alisando aún antes de salir de la ducha.
Me hizo muy feliz ver que los buenos resultados se mantuvieron aún con mi cabello seco, se veía prolijo, sin frizz y fácil de manejar y, estas condiciones siguieron durante todo el día así que estoy muy satisfecha con este producto. Lo probaron ya?

I am always up to trying new hair products and a few weeks ago I bought this new instant mask from L'Oréal Elvive because it looked very promising on the shop. It is indicated to get a straight hair and what's most important for me, without frizz for up to 48 hours.
When I use it for the first time, I noticed the really nice and sweet scent this mask has and also it has a very light texture. When I applied it, I felt my hair very hydrated and nourished and also it was getting more straight even before I got out of the shower. 
I was very happy when I saw that the good results remained after my hair was dry, my hair was neat, without frizz and was easy to control and it lasted for the entire day so I'm very satisfied with this product. Have you try it?

New Products: Garden Angels Hand Mask & L'Oréal La Manicure

La semana pasada probé estos dos productos y los incorporé a mi rutina de cuidado de las manos y uñas. Como expliqué en posts anteriores, siempre suelo buscar productos que mantengan mis manos y uñas hidratadas ya que uso mucho esmalte y esto tiende a secar las uñas y escamarlas.
Así que comencé a utilizar esta mascarilla para manos de Universo Garden Angels, la cual esta llena de aceites naturales: de lima, uva, almendra y palta. La estoy usando una vez a la semana, solamente necesito aplicarla y dejarla por 15 minutos para que se absorba. Luego, hay que enjuagarla con agua tibia y las manos me quedan completamente humectadas y suaves.
Asimismo, empecé a usar el sérum para uñas La Manicure de L'Oréal. Hace tiempo que me quería comprar este producto pero estaba usando la base de Sally Hansen. Así que cuando se me terminó este producto decidí probar la base de L'Oréal. Este sérum es perfecto para hidratar y nutrir las uñas ya que contiene aceite de argán. Además se seca bastante rápido, algo que es muy importante para mí ya que me gusta tener una manicura perfecta sin tener que esperar muchas horas.

Last week I tried these two products and I have incorporated them into my hand-nail care routine. As I have explained in previous posts I always look for products to keep my hands and nails hydrated because I use a a lot of nail polish which tends to dry the nails and chip them.
So, I started to use this hand mask from Universo Garden Angels which is full of natural oils: lime, grape, almond and avocado. I'm using it once a week, I just apply it on my hands and leave it for 15 minutes. I then remove it with water and my hands are completely moisturized and soft.
I also started to use the nail serum La Manicure from L'Oréal. I wanted to buy this product from a long time ago but I was using the base coat from Sally Hansen. So when I finished this product I decided to try the L'Oréal base. This serum is perfect for moisturizing and nourishing the nails since it contains argan oil. Plus it dries really quickly which for me it is really important because I like to have a perfect manicure without waiting for a lot of hours.

L'Oréal Hidra Total 5 Agua Micelar Desmaquillante

Me encantan los productos que cubren varias necesidades al mismo tiempo y el Agua Micelar de L'Oréal es un ejemplo perfecto de este tipo de productos. Con ella puedo reemplazar 3 productos distintos con uno ya que puedo quitar el maquillaje de mis ojos y rostro (para esta tarea estaba utilizando 2 productos, un desmaquillante exclusivo para ojos y uno para rostro) y, además como hidrata la piel no es necesario aplicar un tónico. Así que ahí tenemos 3 productos en uno.
También me parece que es un producto genial para llevar en la cartera en caso que necesite quitarme el maquillaje ya que no me gustar cargar tantas cosas. Por ejemplo, el mes que viene voy a hacer un viaje a Brasil y estoy segura que el Agua Micelar será el aliado perfecto para este viaje.

I love products that cover multiple needs and this micelar water from L'Oréal is a perfect example of this type of products. With this I can replace 3 products with just one because I can use it to take out the make up from my eyes and face (for which tasks I was using 2 different products, one just for the eyes and one for my face) and also as this moisturizes my skin it is not necessary to use a tonic. So that's 3 products in just one. 
I think that it is also a very good product to carry in my bag in case I need to take out my make up somewhere else because I don't like to carry a lot of things. For example, I will be travelling to Brazil next month and I'm sure the Micelar Water would be the perfect ally for this trip.
