Ciaté London – Much To Do, Not Enough Time

Will I purchase?

March 5, 2019 Stephanie Román

Hi guys! Welcome back. Today I want to talk to you about some new makeup releases and whether I would like to buy them or not. I love watching videos of this kind because it helps me with making decisions. My favorite people on YouTube, that do videos like this, are: Kelsey Alfred, Andréa Matillano and KrystalKBeauty.

I’ll start with the things I’ve decided I don’t need in my life. The very first thing I know I don’t need is Urban Decay’s Naked Reloaded palette. I’ve seen mixed thoughts on this release but many people love the palette. I just find it looks similar to my Pérsona Identity palette with those earthy-shades.

This next eyeshadow palette gave me the same vibes as the Urban Decay one, it’s pretty similar to the Pérsona Identity palette. Also, I have a very similar blue shade (from Colourpop). I’m talking about the Colourpop x Zoella Brunch Date eyeshadow palette. Although the rest of the collection looks nice, I’m not holding my breath for it.

Now, those new Huda Beauty Power Bullet Matte Lipsticks look beautiful and I’m dying to get my hands on them. But the price tag hurt me, I find that $25 is a lot of money for one lipstick and I’m not willing to spend it that way.

Let’s talk about the ones I would love to buy but this girl doesn’t have that much money. First is the it Cosmetics Confidence in a Foundation that comes in 48 shades (nice!). The reason?? I love their CC cream and Dani from CoffeeBreakwithDani said it was an amazing foundation (that’s more than enough for me).

I love my matte lip products, even though my lips are crazy dry, but Pérsona Cosmetics new glosses look so pretty. I’m still not sure about this one because it’s $16 for one lipgloss, which is too much for just a gloss.

Smashbox is releasing a new collection called the Crystalized Collection and let me tell you something. The highlighter OPTI-MYSTIC is STUNNING! I died when I saw the insanely beautiful glow it gives.

The last product I want to talk about is from the Ciaté x Jessica Rabbit Collection Glow-To creamy powder highlighter. I’m interested in this product because the pictures look incredible and I figured that because I love a highlighter from them, I would also love this one.

That’s all for today. What products are you interested in?

Let’s keep in touch!

¿Qué compraría?

March 5, 2019 Stephanie Román

¡Hola! Bienvenidos nuevamente. Hoy quiero hablarles sobre algunas colecciones nuevas de maquillaje y si las compraría o no. Me encanta ver vídeos de este tipo porque me ayuda con las decisiones. En YouTube, mis favoritas son Kelsey Alfred, Andréa Matillano y KrystalKBeauty.

Comenzaré con los productos que decidí que no necesito en mi vida. Lo primero que no necesito es la paleta Naked Reloaded de Urban Decay. He visto personas que les encanta y otras que no tanto. En mi caso, encuentro que los colores marrones/neutrales la hacen similar a mi paleta Identity de Pérsona.

Esta próxima paleta de sombras me dio la misma impresión que la de Urban Decay, es similar a la paleta Identity de Pérsona. Además, tengo un azul (de Colourpop) que es muy parecido al que incluye la paleta. La paleta de la que estoy hablando es Colourpop x Zoella Brunch Date. El resto de la colección se ve bien pero no es algo que me encanta.

Ahora, los nuevos lapices labiales Power Bullet Matte de Huda Beauty lucen hermosos y muero por tener aunque sea uno de ellos. Pero el precio…Para mí $25 por un lápiz labial es demasiado dinero y no estoy dispuesta a gastarlo así.

Ahora hablemos sobre los productos que quisiera comprar pero no tengo tanto dinero. Primero es la nueva base de It Cosmetics, Confidence in a Foundation (viene en 48 tonos). ¿Por qué la quiero? Bueno, me encanta el CC cream de ellos y Dani de CoffeeBreakwithDani dijo que era increíble (lo cual es más que suficiente para mí).

Me fascinan los productos labiales mates, aunque mis labios usualmente están resecos, pero los nuevos glosses labiales de Pérsona Cosmetics lucen muy bonitos. No estoy segura de ellos porque son $16 cada labial, lo cual (nuevamente) es demasiado por un producto para los labios.

Smashbox tiene una nueva colección llamada Crystalized Collecction y les diré algo. El iluminador OPTI-MYSTIC ¡Es HERMOSO! Quedé impresionada cuando vi el increíble brillo que da.

El último producto del que quiero hablarles es de la colección Ciaté x Jessica Rabbit, el Glow-To creamy powder highlighter. Estoy interesada en este producto porque en las fotos se veía hermoso y supuse que al gustarme un iluminador de Ciaté, también me gustaría este.

Bueno, eso es todo para hoy. ¿En qué productos están interesados?

¡Sigamos en contacto!

Ipsy Glam Bag-December 2018

January 18, 2019 Stephanie Román

Hi guys! Welcome to a new Ipsy Glam Bag review (better late than never). For those of you who don’t know what Ipsy is. It’s a $10 monthly subscription with 5 sample products (makeup, hair & skin care) inside a cute makeup bag. December’s bag arrived a bit later than usual. The bag is black leather with gold sequin fabric and a black leather tassel. Also, this bag came with 6 products instead of 5! Well, let’s get started!

Using the Sugar brow pencil, Nomad highlighter, and the Ciaté lip product.

The first product is the Ultra Violet Brightening Purple Clay Mask from Generation Clay. Love the purple color, not so much the scent. Bit I’ve used it and it left my face feeling soft and a bit tight. It’s nice and I’ll continue to use it.

Next we have a Scalp & Body Scrub from OUAI Haircare. It has a clean scent and the sugar crystals feel amazing on the skin. It’s not a harsh scrub, so my skin felt really soft after using it.

Also got a F. A. R. A. H tapered blending brush 35E. It’s super fluffy, soft and lightweight. I have 3 uses for it: setting my eye primer, applying my transition/crease color, and overall blending.

Now let’s get into the makeup products. I have the Sugar Arch Arrival Brow Definer in 02 Taupe Tom. The tip is in a triangle shape, the formula is a bit waxy and hard. It doesn’t glide on super easy, you have to work a little to get it on the skin. The spoolie works great, helps to blend the brow product.

Next I have a Nomad Cosmetics Around-the-World Light Infusion Powder in Ko Phai Ngan Moonlight. Which is a beautiful “holographic illuminator in duo-chrome glow with multi-dimensional, prismatic sapphire pearl finish.” It has a nice purple-blue sheen, soft formula and it blends like a dream.

The last product is a Transforming Glitter Liquid Lipstick from Ciaté London in the shade Infamous. It’s a fun concept but for everyday use, is not my cup of tea. Love the color, the glitter throws me off but I think I can make it work somehow (will let you know if any progress occurs).

Overall, it was a great bag and I liked basically everything. I’m currently waiting for January’s bag (think it’s getting here today or tomorrow).

Anyway, how were your bags in December and January? I love reading your comments, so let’s talk in the comment section.
