Blush Collection

I know I haven't been too active recently but I'm moving houses and I can't believe how much time makes you spend on it...I can't wait till I move definitely to my new flat. Meanwhile, all is packing, moving services, changes address or cancel accounts...a nightmare...

But let´s move to the nature of the today's post :)

Makeup is one of my many big loves along with books and skin care products...and today I'm here to share with you, my blush collection. If you're as pale as I am, you may find that a bit of blush in your cheeks makes you look healthier and that's the main reason that makes me love blushes.

I will divide this collection into three sections:

• RED: 

Somedays you want a bit of colour in your cheeks, you want to have a glow, to look glamorous, to attract the light and, in my opinion, these three blushes are perfect, especially in spring-summer when all colours are brighter. The only thing that you need to consider is that all blushes are buildable and excess of this shades could make you look terrible.

My favourites are New Red by Dior, Orgasm by NARS and Peach Glow by Rituals.

• BROWN:

This is perfect to add a bit of warm, definition and elegance to your face. I prefer these shades in autumn, when the weather still sunny, and you use berry lipsticks and some scarfs...also gives definition to the cheeks and looks brilliant with a gold based highlighter.

My favourites are Santa Rose and Bronze by Rimmel London and Lovejoy by NARS

• PINK:

These are perfect for a natural glow, a bit of colour that will make you look healthier but that can look so natural that people will be unsure if you wear or not a blush. Is perfect for any season of the year.

My favourites are The One by bareMinerals and Rosy Glow by Dior.

What about you? What is your favourite blush?

Lots of love,

Lips, lips, lips!

Autumn / Winter lipsticks

Para mi elegir el color perfecto de labios es una tarea difícil...mi sección de pintalabios crece y crece cada día...nunca se tienen suficientes...(¿verdad? ¿o sólo me pasa a mi?)
Este otoño-invierno me he enamorado de los tonos "berry". Creo que en otoño son ideales con los tonos rojos, naranjas y amarillos que nos brinda la naturaleza. En mi colección tengo más de los que aparecen en la foto pero mis favoritos de esta temporada son:
Anastasia Beverly Hills en CRAFT. Es un tono mate, de larga duración y fácil aplicación. Si quieres empezar con estos tonos, puede ser tu elección perfecta ya que no es tan oscuro como los otros.
Yves Saint Laurent número 54 y Charlotte Tilbury en GLASTONBERRY son muy similares pero YSL tira más a morado y Glastonberry tiene algo más de rojo en su fórmula. Ambos son mate pero no dejan la sensación de labios secos al usarlos.
Por otro lado, para esos días en los que solo quieres un toque de color, recomiendo SWAN de Dior Nude. Es un color que puede usarse todo el año y que queda perfecto con cualquier colorete. La fórmula es muy nutritiva.
Por último, llegan los rojos. Al igual que con Swan, ambos son perfectos para cualquier época del año pero esta temporada me han acompañado tanto en días de trabajo como en días de ocio. Ambos tienen un terminado mate. Puedes usarlos solos o combinarlos.

Choosing the perfect lipstick isn't easy...my collection is growing up daily, or maybe monthly...you never have enough lipstick...don't you think? 
This autumn-winter I fall in love with the "berry" ones. I just think it's perfect with all the autumn colours, red, orange, yellow...that nature gives to us in time of the year.
My collection is a bit bigger but these are my favourites:
Anastasia Berverly Hills in CRAFT is perfect for begginers in this shade as is not as intense as the others and is a longlasting mate liquid lipstick.
Yves Saint Laurent number 54 y Charlotte Tilbury in GLASTONBERRY are very similar shades but YSL goes more to purple and Glastonberry goes more to red. Both of them are matte lipsticks but you will not have the feeling of dry lips when using them. 
Going to other place of the colour range we have SWAN by Dior Nudes. This lipstick is quite nutritive, the shade goes well with all makeup and blush and also is perfect for anytime of the year. 
Last but not least, is time for red lipsticks. Both of them are from YSL and both have a matte finish. I use them in my working days and in my days off; somedays I use both of them together.

Y siempre, siempre, siempre sea la época del año que sea hay que hidratar los labios, normalmente uso uno de ellos en mi rutina nocturna y alguno va conmigo en el bolso siempre. Me encantan los tres, normalmente elijo el que está más a mano.

And always, always, always your lips need care and moisturising, whatever the time of the year we are. I tend to use one in my night skincare rutine and you can find one in my bag all the time. I love all of them, I just use the one I have on reach.
