Hi guys! Hope you’re good and staying safe. I’ve been thinking a lot about this blog and the way I write the posts. I’m bilingual (Spanish and English), and that’s why I always write my posts in two languages. // ¡Hola! Espero que estén bien y seguros. He estado pensando mucho sobre este blog y la manera en que escribo las entradas (posts). Soy bilingüe (español e inglés), y es por eso que siempre escribo las entradas en dos idiomas.
I’ve decided that instead of doing two separate posts of the same thing, I’ll just write one post with both languages in it. Let me know in this post (or on tomorrow’s post) what you think about it. // He decidido que en lugar de hacer dos entradas de lo mismo, solo haré una escrita en ambos idiomas. Déjenme saber en esta entrada (o la de mañana) lo que piensan sobre esto.
Welcome back to the blog. During this time of social distancing, I haven’t left the house in 6 weeks. I haven’t been working either, so I’ve been using the makeup I already own instead of buying more.
Here you can see everything I’ve selected and the look I created with the products.
Today we’re going to talk about two mascaras I’ve been using for a few months. Both claim to give length and volume to the lashes.
L’oreal Bambi Eye mascara has a retail price of $10.99 and a “velvety washable formula glides on smoothly for lifted, elongated lashes, without clumps”.Maybelline the Falsies Lash Lift mascara also retails for $10.99 and “delivers a dramatic volume and long, lifted lashes.
In my experience, both mascaras give good volume and length. I find that the L’oreal Bambi Eye mascara is a bit faster to get clumpy, if too many layers applied. Maybelline the Falsies Lash Lift mascara has a more thin formula, which helps the clump-free claim. But if you let it dry between coats, you’ll get clumps and it will be difficult to apply it.
Photo’s left side: L’oreal Bambi Eye. Photo’s right side: Maybelline the falsies Lash Lift.
As you can see in the photo above, the left side looks more pigmented and together. As for the right side, the Maybelline mascara separated my lashes more. The length and volume seems to be the same.
I like both mascaras, they’re good and don’t transfer (after letting them dry) or flake. Preference over one or another will depend on the eye makeup I’m wearing.
Hoy hablaremos sobre dos rímel que he estado usando durante varios meses. Ambos dicen dar volumen y alargar las pestañas.
El rímel Bambi Eye de L’oreal cuesta $10.99 y tiene “fórmula lavable aterciopelada que se desliza suavemente para levantar pestañas alargadas y sin grumos”.El rímel de Maybelline the Falsies Lash Lift cuesta 10.99 y “ofrece un volumen dramático y pestañas largas y elevadas”.
En mi experiencia, ambos rímel alargan y dan volumen a las pestañas. Encuentro que con Bambi Eye de L’oreal se forman grumos más rápido, si se aplican demasiadas capas. The Falsies Lash Lift de Maybelline tiene una fórmula fina/húmeda que ayuda a no tener grumos. Pero si la dejas secar entre capas, se formarán grupos y la aplicación será difícil.

Como pueden ver en la foto arriba, el lado izquierdo luce más pigmentado y las pestañas se ven juntas. Pero en el lado derecho, el rímel de Maybelline separó mis pestañas más. El largo y volumen parecen ser iguales.
Me gustan ambos rímel, son buenos y no se transfieren (cuando se dejan secar bien). La preferencia sobre un rímel u otro dependerá del maquillaje que utilice.
Today I’m going to share my thoughts on the Revo-Pooches eyeshadow palette from I Heart Revolution. It retails for only $7.49 (on Ulta’s website) and has 18 shades. I bought it after watching Dani, from CoffeeBreakWithDani on YouTube, rave about it.
Let’s start with positive thoughts, it has purple packaging and four cute dogs (in 3D) on the front. Also has a good quality mirror. The shades are beautiful, soft, pigmented and easy to blend. They stay on the eyes all day without creasing.
Talking more about the eyeshadow’s softness, I think that’s what caused them to break in transit. A few of the shades shattered, but I was able to kind of press them back. These shadows are quite dusty which isn’t a big deal for me.
I played with it for the past few days and have created these three looks.
Shades used: Blondie, Roll Over, Bark, and Hound Dawg.Shades used: Roll Over, Bark, Bruno, and Puppy Love.Shades used: Boop, Biscuit, and Floof.
Overall, I love this palette. Even though it has some broken eyeshadows, the pigmentation and blendability makes up for it.
Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes mi opinión sobre la paleta de sombras Revo-Pooches de I Heart Revolution. Ahora mismo está a $7.49 (en la página web de Ulta) y tiene 18 tonos. La compré luego de ver a Dani, de CoffeeBreakWithDani en YouTube, hablar maravillas de ella.
Comencemos con cosas positivas, el empaque es violeta y tiene cuatro tiernos perros (en 3D) en el frente. También tiene un espejo de buena calidad. Los tonos son hermosos, suaves, pigmentados y fácil de difuminar. Se quedan en los ojos durante todo el día sin desaparecer.
Hablando un poco más sobre la suavidad de las sombras, pienso que eso fue lo que provocó que se rompieran en tránsito. Algunas de ellas se destrozaron, pero fui capaz de presionarlas un poco. Son un poco “dusty” lo que no es tan importante para mí.
Tonos usados: Blondie, Roll Over, Bark, y Hound Dawg.Tonos usados: Roll Over, Bark, Bruno, y Puppy Love.Tonos usados: Boop, Biscuit, y Floof.
En resumen, me encanta esta paleta. Aunque se rompieron algunos tonos de, el pigmento y la facilidad con que se difuminan es suficiente para mí.
I’m back with this series where I show you seven eyeshadow looks with just one palette. This time I’ll be using the It’s My Pleasure palette from Colourpop. Which is part of their monochromatic palette range.
Look #1: Kittenfish (crease/lower lash-line), Chick Lit (outer corner/lower lash-line), Bare Minimum (lid), and Earthshine (inner corner).
Look #2: Pretty Cruel (crease/lower lash-line), Sleeper (outer corner/lower lash-line), Mr. Sandman (lid), and Earthshine (inner corner).
Look #3: Pretty Cruel (crease/lower lash-line), Chick Lit (outer corner/lower lash-line), Do or Dough (lid), and Earthshine (inner corner).
Look #4: Fan Fiction (crease/lower lash-line), Sleeper (outer corner/lower lash-line), Pretty Cruel (lid), and Do or Dough (inner corner).
Look #5: Fan Fiction (crease/lower lash-line), Chick Lit (outer corner/lower lash-line), Earthshine (lid), and Do or Dough (inner corner).
Look #6: Pretty Cruel (crease/lower lash-line), Sleeper (outer corner/lower lash-line), Kittenfish (lid), and Do or Dough (inner corner).
Look #7: Fan Fiction (crease/lower lash-line), Sleeper (outer corner/lower lash-line), Chick Lit (lid), and Earthshine (inner corner).
The shades are beautiful and pigmented. If you combine it with a neutral palette, the looks will be more different between each other. I love this palette, but not for everyday use. Unless purple eyeshadow doesn’t clash with your outfit.
Here comes another post about new makeup launches and what I would love to buy. That doesn’t guarantee I will do it, I just like to share my thoughts and opinions with you. Today’s list has what is considered high-end (aka expensive) makeup brands. I actually own nothing from any of these brands (except Huda Beauty), so all I would say is going to be about packaging and colors.
DISCLAIMER: All pictures and information presented here was found on trendmood’s Instagram account.
First we have NARS limited edition Laguna Collection. From this summer collection, I’m into the Oil-Infused Lip Tint and the Powerchrome Loose Eye Pigments. The lip oil retail for $26 and comes in two shades: Laguna and Reef. As for the loose pigments, which retail for $28, Islamorada is calling my name.
Next, Huda Beauty with some Diamond Hydrating Balms that have a cool look and sheer pigmentation. They’re $25 each and comes in 4 shades. I like Negligee (sheer nude) and Dirty Thoughts (sheer lilac). Apparently, they launch in May. What’s already available is a highlighter by Fenty Beauty from their new collection Cognac Candy. The highlighter is refer to as Diamond Bomb in a copper shade for a retail price of $39. It looks quite pigmented and an amazing sheen (almost glittery), but for that kind of money I think I’ll pass for now.
I’m not a fan of any shade of pink but Sigma’s new collection called Cor-De-Rosa looks beautiful. The eyeshadow palette with 14 shades seems to have great pigmentation and retails for $49. In the lip department, I liked the Cor-De-Rosa Liquid Lipstick and the glosses in shades Cor-De-Rosa and Secret Garden. Each lip product (liquid lipstick and gloss) retail for $20. My decision is split here because I love the shades of the lip products, but I find them so damn expensive.
The Supreme Nudes Collection from Artist Couture looks incredibly luxurious. Love the 12 shades in the eyeshadow palette, they’re right up my alley. The retail price is $40, which I’m not thrilled about. There’s also 6 shades of Silk Cream Lipsticks and they retail for $18 each. Not sure which shade I like more, they all look gorgeous.
The Shade and Illuminate Face and Eye Palettes by Tom Ford are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Packaging looks luxurious and the shades are amazing. I’m so in love with two of them, Intensity 2 Moonlit Violet and Intensity 3 Moss Agate.
Pür Cosmetics will be launching a Trolls Collection related to the new Trolls movie World Tour. Everything about the eyeshadow palettes is precious and the pigmentation seems to be good. I like them all, but to be fair there are some colors that I already own. For example, the Funk palette reminds me of Colourpop’s It’s My Pleasure palette. So if I’m being realistic, I’ll probably buy Techno, Classical and Rock.
Aquí vengo con más lanzamientos de maquillajes nuevos y qué me gustaría comprar. Eso no garantiza que lo haré, solo quería compartir mis pensamientos y opiniones con ustedes. La lista de hoy se considerada maquillaje “high-end” (entiéndase que son más caras). No poseo productos de estas marcas (excepto Huda Beauty), así que solo opinaré sobre los colores y el empaque.

Primero tenemos a NARS con la colección Laguna de edición limitada. De esta colección de verano, me gustan los Oil-Infused Lip Tint y los Powerchrome Loose Eye Pigments. El aceite labial tiene un costo de $26 y viene en dos tonos: Laguna y Reef. En cuanto a los pigmentos sueltos, con un costo de $28, me encanta Islamorada.
Luego tenemos a Huda Beauty con unos Diamond Hydrating Balms que tienen una apariencia cool y una pigmentación clara. Cuestan $25 cada uno y hay cuatro tonos. Me gusta Negligee (sheer nude) y Dirty Thoughts (sheer lilac). Aparentemente estarán disponibles en mayo. Algo que ya está disponible es un iluminador de Fenty Beauty de su nueva colección Cognac Candy. Este iluminador se llama Diamond Bomb en un tono cobrizo por solo $39. Se ve con bastante pigmentación y con un increíblemente brillo. Pero por esa cantidad de dinero, creo que paso por ahora.
No soy fan de ningún tono rosado pero la nueva colección de Signa, llamada Cor-De-Rosa, se ve espectacular. La paleta de sombras tiene 14 tonos que parecen ser muy pigmentados, por $49. En cuanto a los labiales, me gusta el Cor-De-Rosa Liquid Lipstick y los brillos labiales en los tonos Cor-De-Rosa y Secret Garden. Cada producto labial cuesta $20. Estoy algo dividida aquí porque me encantan los tonos de los labiales pero los encuentro demasiado caros.
La colección Supreme Nudes de Artist Couture luce increíblemente lujosa. Me encantan los 12 tonos en la paleta de sombras, son exactamente mis colores. Cuesta $40, lo que no me encanta mucho. También hay seis tonos de Silk Cream Lipsticks a $18 cada uno. No estoy segura de cuál tono me gusta más, todos se ven hermosos.
Las paletas para ojos y cara Shade and Illuminate de Tom Ford son lo más bello que he visto. El empaque se ve lujoso y los tonos son increíbles. Estoy enamorada de dos de ellas, Intensity 2 Moonlit Violet e Intensity 3 Moss Agate.
Pür Cosmetics estará lanzando una colección de Trolls relacionada a la nueva película World Tour. Todo sobre las paletas de sombras es precioso y la pigmentación parece ser buena. Me encantan todas pero siendo sincera, ya tengo algunos de esos tonos en mi colección. Por ejemplo, la paleta Funk me recuerda a la paleta It’s My Pleasure de Colourpop. Así que si soy realista, de comprar alguna sería Techno, Classical y Rock.
During these days of being at home trying to be productive and not go crazy, I’ve been paying more attention to new makeup collections. As I was scrolling and taking screenshots of everything I was liked (on first impression), I remembered it’s been a while since I’ve done a “Will I Buy?”. So here I am, sharing with you I would love to buy.

I must tell you that I’m a sucker for eyeshadow palettes and lip products. So don’t be surprised when you see, that what I love from all the collections are the lipsticks, glosses or eyeshadow palettes. You’ve been warned!
First, the Colourpop x Mulan Collection looks so good. I know it’s been out for a while now, but I love Colourpop’s quality so much. I would buy: the eyeshadow palette (contains 15 shades and retails for $22), Lux Creme Lipstick in Hua Mulan (retails for $9), Lux Gloss in Phoenix (retails for $9), and a blush in ________ retails for $12).
Another collaboration I fell in love with is the one between Ulta Beauty and Marvel’s Black Widow. The eyeshadow palette has 12 shades and retails for $20. As for the lip kit duos, I haven’t decided which shade I like more. But it includes a lip liner and a creamy lipstick (retails for $16). I only own a few eyeliner pencils from Ulta Beauty so I can’t talk about the quality of these products. But they sure do look nice.
I’ve never heard of the brand Zodiac Cosmetics until I saw some new Zodiac Eyeshadow Palettes on trendmood’s Instagram. Each palette retails for $14.99 and contains 12 shades. Sadly, there are a few shades that repeat in every palette and they end up looking quite similar to each other. If I was going to buy one, it will either be Capricorn, Pisces or Taurus.
Then, we have Revolution Pro (from Makeup Revolution) with some jewel-related eyeshadow quads. They retail for $15, which I find a bit expensive for only four shades. But I liked So Jaded, Hidden Jewels and Wild Onyx.
Lime Crime launched the Lip Pops Satin Lipsticks for a retail price of $20 each, which I find expensive for a single lipstick. Don’t know if they’re worth the price because I’ve never tried this brand. But if you like this brand, you can get them in a bundle for $126. The shades I liked more are: Cold Brew (cool taupe brown), Sangria (cool toned red), and Oxblood (deep oxblood red).
These are the more affordable (in my opinion) makeup launches that I would like to buy. From all the products mentioned above, I’m more inclined to buy from the Colourpop x Mulan Collection and Ulta Beauty x Marvel’s Black Widow Collection.
