Famous summer lipstick swatches!
I always show you ladies my Raffael lipsticks because that’s the only brand of lipstick I wear. They’re creamy, long lasting, pigmented, they don’t dry up and I can finish my latte and there’s still color on my lips, c’mon that’s AMAZING :P… I posted a review on raffael lipsticks if you need more details go read it.
Here are the swatches of summer hits:
The only one that is missing is Bambi #87 (i forgot it at my sisters house đ )
Peony is a pink coral bright color, completely matte. Perfect with a winged liner and barely need to touch up because of the pigment.
Pretty smart is an almost red-pinky matte but has shine (not shimmer) but leaves a luscious look. This too paired with a winged liner or a very light smudged liner with lots of mascara, would look great.
Bibi is a light orange with an ever so slight shimmer leaving lips cool and silky looking for a summer “wet” Â look. A natural smokey eye would look amazing with this lip color.
Pussycat is a completely matte, nude with a orange undertone. Great with a dark smokey eye either black, green, brown, purple… anything!
Dewy is the perfect shiny (again, not shimmery) luscious nude with a pinky-purple undertone as compared to pussycat. Great for any look, nude look, smokey, winged liner…
Hope you all find your perfect summer shades. Oh and don’t be afraid to test different colors sometimes a lipstick can change your entire look đ

Hello Beauties!!!
I had said I was gonna let you know what products struck me as good ones from my beauty boxes. I have extremely dry skin but not any cream works for me. If the content of the cream is too rich my skin does not absorb it and some just simply don’t get rid of the flaky dry desert on my face hahaha!!

Since I have a lot of products that I tried, I’m really putting the only ones that really stood out to me the most.
This one I actually purchased:
Benta Berry La Creme G-1: I had 2 different types of this brand of moisturizer and used both mostly to mix my foundation to make a daily tinted moisturizer. This Benta Berry is a water based moisturizer therefore did not decompose my foundation when mixing it on my hand. My regular foundation is a water base as well. If you mix oil base with water you’ll see the foundation decompose and doesn’t have great results. It’s a non comedogenic which means does not contain harsh chemicals that block pores and good for acne prone or sensitive skin.
Cyber Derm H2O Hydration and every morning: In general I love this brand and once again I got a few different samples of this brand. I loved all of them. I actually saw a difference in my skin. I used this for daily moisturizer, flakes and harsh dry skin was gone. All that was left was a clean and glowy skin. I even tried the night anti-age cream and really felt fresh and moisturized. I will probably be purchasing some of these creams in the near future. I still have some left as samples because I fluctuate moisturizers for different results. So all of these can be part of my top 5.
360 Skincare Lavender mint firming serum: It didn’t DRAMATICALLY remove all wrinkles and fine lines around the eye area but the smell is soo soothing and it’s rich without being too rich. My skin fully absorbs the product even if I leave a thick layer under my eyes. I put this before I go to bed and find myself looking more rested than usual. It’s cruelty free, has a lot of natural ingredients and it really smells good.
Last but not least…
Villainess Dulces en fuego: OMGoodnes!! I LOVE the smelllllll, I can actually be obsessed with this body cream. I dont find its the BEST moisturizing body cream in the world but the smellllllllll……… Its like a sweet cinnamon yummy smell. I can just put this on my hands all day long and never get sick of the smell. I was even putting this on my nose so I can just smell this. YES it was that good đ I didn’t buy the full size yet but I will very soon.
That’s it for now. There’s other products that I really enjoyed and worked but these so far are the ones that stood out the most like I said.
See you soon!!!
Side note: My sister is really good with fashion tips and accessorizing and putting outfits together (and not spending big bucks to look like a million bucks). I’m trying to convince her to start posting on my blog and putting up pictures and maybe making videos. She’s just shy but together we make a great team, “like” or comment on this post to support her to do it with me!! Yayyyyy, Thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Fall, I really think it’s my favorite season of all. Although it’s getting cold, EEK!
Anyway I’ve slightly changed my makeup routine since the fall, so here are some favorite products and what’s good for prepping for the cold weather.
For a flawless face I’ve been using Bentaberry /Super moisturizing face cream for girls mixed with a pea-size of my liquid foundation from Raffael cosmetics in C3, I apply it with a flat buffing brush in circular motions until well blended. I don’t always put powder because my skin gets overly flaky, so IÂ sometimes prefer a dewy finish.
For eyes, I’ve been getting away with a simple primer base from Urban Decay – primer potion original and a thick black liner from Raffel cosmetic’s felt liner in Jet black. As for mascara, I’m loving the Benefit – They’re Real!.
For some color on my cheeks I’m using MAC’s mineralize skin finish in Medium Dark.
Finishing off the look with a nude/pink lipstick (my ULTIMATE favorite) Raffael in Dewy #475.
Now that it’s cold, my skin is getting dry and I’m sure yours is as well. I’m trying to do a self-facial at least once a month and use a heavier face moisturizer. It is also very important to exfoliate to remove all dead skin.
Enjoy! Get ready for the holidays, it’s so close!!  đ
I obvioulsy couldn’t help myself… but I purchased a few new products last month and now I have to share it with you but only the favorites made it on this list and some products well I already had but “re-discovered” them đ
The first product I’d love to tell you about is the highlighter Prep+prime in Radiant Rose By MAC:
I’ve actually replaced my concealer for this product. I dab some with my fingers under the eyes and it’s like I slept for hours and hours! I also use it to highlight some areas on my face. It’s amazing!
Next, I’m now in love with the mineralized blush Dainty by MAC:
Since I have dry skin, that small amount of shine in the blush leaves a great finish on my cheeks and obviously it’s pink đ (yes! I LOVE pink)Â
My third fav product of the month would be the Mineralize Skin Finish Natural in Medium/ Dark by MAC:
This does not leave behind a heavy powdery look. I use it as a bronzer and contouring powder and IF I ever tan maybe as a powder đ I love the finish, it has a hint of shine (not very visible) but again looks great and natural.
You’ll always catch me wearing lip gloss but what I have beneath is what makes my lips look full and defined! I’m obsessed with lip liner in Sienna by Raffael cosmetics. It’s the perfect shade and used this on clients where they said “Hey, how come my lip gloss looks better when YOU put in on?” … Because lip liners define lips and make the lip color pop! That’s my reply… People forget how much a little thing can do so much đ
Last but not least, Mascara Xtension Plus by Marcelle. I find it perfectly seperates my lashes and doesn’t feel heavy. Since I already have long lashes, for everyday this mascara adds definition and not too much volume. I got this in my GlossyBox in may I think as a full size product and I would’ve never had considered this product if i hadn’t received it. So, Ya!
That’s it for Products of May-June (since I didn’t do one for a while)… I felt like I disappeared for a bit but I’ll try to post a bit more often once again. Please don’t forget to subscribe to my blog in order to get notified whenever I post, also keep checking on certain occassions my portfolio since I randomly add pictures whenever đ
