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 😛 )
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” 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 😉

Finally convinced my sister to give fashion tips yayyy!!!
This is my older sister Maria. She’s good with Fashion tips and hair. She has a crazy eye for design and you guys should see how she can turn a boring outfit to oooooh lala! Look! And she can make an old shirt look amazingly new or stylish with just the right accessories or the way it’s worn … Here’s a fun look:
Here she’s wearing her brown Nine West booties that have a chunky heal, round in the front and it ties in the middle. These are perfect for any look.
Shiny Black pants from Dynamite. Its a black Denim that has a leather-like finish (please wash these by hand or else the shine will come off)
She’s wearing a taupe with some thin brown thread sweater-like shirt, very comfy and simple. It’s from Winners
Topped it with a cool leather jacket with a 3/4 sleeve and the colar has folds that gives it an edge. She got this from Dynamite.
Her necklace is a leather string with gold triangles that gives it kinda like spike look, wich made her outfit look slighty rocker-ish. This was from Forever 21.
The hair was the perfect combo to this look, a messy side braid slightly undone and yes! Its her natural hair, no extensions!
Since she wore this at work, she kept her makeup very light and natural.
But if you want to go out with this kind of look, you can either do a green or black smokey eye or if you prefer the attention on your lips and good winged eyeliner and fire red lips would be perfect!
Hope you enjoyed this and comment below if you think she should show more of her looks.
Note: All these clothes were purchased in our area so you might not necessarily have these stores near you. Montreal in Canada!
Hello Girlies!
Here’s an outfit of the day. This look is a casual-nice :
Boots: are from X2B (borrowed from my sister shhhh! 😛 ) They are buckled at the top near the calves, high heal. The buckle slighly adds edge and makes it look more casual.
Skinny jeans: from Forever 21 a few months ago. Dark blue, stretch. Super versatile. You can wear them with flats, heals, boots, sandals… I have 3-4 pairs I wear these all the time.
Black stretch tank top: from Forever 21, well its a tank top soooo ya, very useful
Blouse: from Dynamite. Black see-through, with black and gold trim buttons and sleeves tie with same black gold trim button. This too can be versatile. You can add a belt since its loose or just wear it as is. To make it more sexy at a night out, you dont HAVE to put a tank top under.
Makeup: lipstick speed dial from MAC, eyes: carbon, print, all that glitters and jest.
I took this pic before I wore accessories but all I added was a small metal-dark grey bracelet that a very good friend made.
Hope you have a good day

Mind games these titles 😛
I call it pretty smart lips, why you ask? It’s all about the lips… Noooooo it’s because the lipstick is CALLED pretty smart from Raffael Cosmetics. HAAAAHAAAA Got you… or not! 😛
Lately the weather here has been cold, really really cold! So aside from the really pink cheeks due to the extreme cold, I found my face looked blahhhhh.
So I played around with some lip colors to see which would be nice to wear everyday but not too much and then this one caught my attention! It’s been a week now, I wear this look almost every day, the only difference is the eye liner. For a more dramatic look I’ve been wearing black liquid eyeliner or brown depending on what I’m doing or if its only for work I only wear mascara.
It completes a basic look without looking too much, according to some coworkers I look “polished”. Not only is it a nice lip color but it’s also very lasting and does not dry out my lips.
LOVE IT!!
This is a basic smokey eye that is not too overdone. Black eye shadow was only used only in the outer lid rather than all over and I blended it with a nice light brown eye shadow in the crease. Instead of putting an intense black eye liner, I used a dark brown (almost black) for a less intense look and individuals lashes were used for this look.
All products used for this look were by Raffael cosmetics.
As much as I’m extremely in denial, summer is over or almost over. I find the one simple classic look that will NEVER seize to amaze and have a great impact is the pin-up. A simple black liner with red or dark pink lipstick. This look is so easy to dress up and dress down (just like the little black dress).
This look is so easy to play up or down. You can obviously leave plain liner and lipstick or you can add a nice light shimmer on your lids to slightly glamourize your look , you can excentuate your crease with a light brown and a matte nude eye shadow all over the lid. You can make your liner really thin or really thick depending on your mood. So fun to work with. With this look, you cannot go wrong and it’s the best “go-to” color option for fall and winter.
On this picture I’m wearing Sublime lip liner by Raffael, MAC Red by MAC, Black Gel liner by Raffael.
Enjoy this weather, Fall is the best season (for me 😛 ) xox
(Dedicated to my “3rd sister”, cousin and best friend who always supported me no matter what and always followed my blog. She was not only my first follower and number 1 fan in everything I did, but in my eyes she was and still is a true inspiration in my everyday life. I always wanted to be just like her. I love her so much and everyday she’s missed more than ever but i know she’s in a wonderful place right now ❤ )
Yes yes, I didn’t forget to update 😛
Lately I felt like totally changing up my makeup routine. Since I was on holidays I wasn’t in the mood for any heavy look. Since then I feel like this “new” routine has stuck to me, but it’s more like I’m addicted to the overall finished look. It has that matte but glowy summer look with a light sunkiss tan, not too over-done but excentuates my features!
I normally NEVER skip out on the foundation. If anything I wear liquid foundation every time I wear makeup. During my holdiays, I was not in the mood for heavy makeup at all. Before starting I obviously moisturized and put a primer.
I used the dual powder by Raffael Cosmetics in C4 – C5 (I normally use C2-C3). I always contour my face with mineralized skin finish by MAC in medium-dark. For blush my new favorite color is by Raffael Cosmetics in Joy #220 it’s a peachy-pink that has a light gold-ish shine to it (as shown in the picture below). It’s perfect for highlighting the cheeks or even alone as a blush and I mix in a touch of pink blush to give it a boost of color like Raffael Cosmetics in Playful #309 it’s a bit of dark pink so I use just a little.
As for eyes I’ve been keeping it simple with liquid liner and the mascara Pro from Raffael Cosmetics.
Lip liner I use Sienna by Raffael and lipstick I’m using either MAC – Angel or Raffael – Chouchou wichever I grab first (they’re both almost identical).
I recently went shoe shopping mania (obviously!) 😛 so I’m gonna take some pictures and post them up very soon 😉 Don’t forget I love shoes just as much as makeup!!!

(This is NOT sponsored by any company what so ever. These are my own opinions and all products were purchased on my own.)
False lashes have come a long way; they’ve evolved in so many ways. They are now a statement. There’s all kinds of different looks and gadgets.
There’s paper lashes:
Lashes with stones:
Feather Lashes:
Colored:
Glitter:
All shapes and sizes…. (my personal favorite) 😀
Eye lashes don’t need to be simple anymore. Adding a touch of color or designs can really polish a look. Change and make a natural look more interesting. Even wearing them alone, gives a punch of color and style. I think they’re great and fun, there is so much variety to choose from it’s amazing! So I think people shouldn’t be shy and just experiment, make them your own.
