2018’s 12 Days of Red Lipstick (The Recap)

2018’s 12 Days of Red Lipstick (The Recap)

Posted on by Steph

I was in debt, I know… but since for me, it doesn’t have to be the holiday season to be able to wear red lipsticks, I still wanted to share this post with you.

During the first 12 days of December I did the 12 Days of Red Lipstick Challenge on my social media (Instagram and Facebook). I had a great time wearing different types of formulas and shades, it’s no secret that I love red lips. In this post I want to share with you my thoughts on each lipsticks and which ones were my favorites.

Day 1
Super Stay Matte Ink Lipstick in Pioneer 20
This one is THE BEST matte red lipstick ever! It’s long wearing and feels great on the lips. Maybelline did a great job on the formula. If you could only buy one red lipstick and you like mattes, this is the one.

Day 2
Too Faced Melted Matte in Lady Balls
I love how this one looks, it looks velvety and smooth. It’s not long wearing, but it looks so pretty that I don’t mind.

Day 3
NYX Cosmetics Matte Lipstick in Perfect Red MLS10
This one doesn’t look very matte, but it’s really creamy. If you are looking for one that is easy to apply, easy to take off and feels creamy and nice on the lips try this one.

Day 4
Sephora #lipstories in A Little Magic 22
Like the last one, this one is more creamy than matte, but the color pay off is really good. Plus, the packaging it’s so cute!

Day 5
Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Color in 625 HD Love
Another matte that it’s not so matte. What I enjoyed about this one was the applicator, it’s easy to use and to work on you lip shape.

Day 6
NYX Cosmetics Epic Ink Lip Dye in Poised EILD01
I have to stay that the results of this one was not what I was expecting. I didn’t love the color pay off, it stay in you lips (with the word ink in it I thought it will be long lasting, but it definitely wasn’t the case), and the worst part it has a weird taste. This one I didn’t really enjoy

Day 7
Milani Cosmetics 67 Matte Confident
Not matte, but creamy and excellent color pay off. I loved this darker shade of red, and the formula sits really nice on the lips.

Day 8
Huda Beauty Liquid Matte in Heartbreaker
Real matte and smooth, with a nice applicator. Nice color pay off, but it’s not long wearing.

Day 9
Mac Cosmetics Lipstick in Ruby Woo
A classic. This one looks matre, but it’s creamy. It doesn’t last, it comes off little by little when you drink or eat, but t feels good in the lips.

Day 10
Wet and Wild Megalast Liquid Catsuit in Missy and Fierce 930B
True matte, great color payoff. It’s a liquid that dries to matte, but it doesn’t feel dry on the lips. This one has a very descent staying power, and that is always good.

Day 11
NYX Cosmetics Slip Tease Lip Lacquer in Dexter STLL03
No the formula I am into right now, to glossy for my taste, but the color pay off, being a gloss, is really good. If you are into glossy and shiny lips, this one is must for you!

Day 12
Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick in 96 Red Velvet
I love the dark red and the matte look of this lipstick. This formula has a good staying power and it feels really nice on the lips.

What I can’t take from this is that every company wants to make matte lipsticks, but apparently not everyone follows the same definition. I don’t mind creamy, like satin textures, but for me those are not matte. I enjoyed doing this little challenge and exploring the different brands and formulas, and I hope it will help you with your lipsticks decisions in the future.

Of the 12 red lipsticks I wore, which one is your favorite? Do you have a favorite I didn’t try out? Let me know in the comments.

Posted on by Steph

I know I have been absent on the blog, but life has been super busy, also, super exciting things have been happening, and I have been super stretch with time and everything I want to do. But with everything happening I couldn’t be more happy, still I miss writing so much, so here I am. It’s the beginning of the holiday season and this year I want to celebrate on a big way.

Today I wanted to come here and talk about the 12 Days of Red Lipstick Challenge I will be doing from December 1st thru the 12th, to celebrate the beginning of the holiday season. I love red lipstick during the entire year, but December is a good excuse, plus I consider red to be the color of the season.

I did this little challenge back on December 2015. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to do it again. From 2015 to now a lot of red lipsticks have passed thru my lips, I have some new favorites and I have been buying some new ones to try. I am sure I don’t have to say it, but I am super excited about it.

So what is the 12 Days of Red Lipstick Challenge? For twelve days I will be posting a photo on my social media (Instagram and Facebook), wearing a red lipstick and at the end I will be doing a recap post telling you my thoughts on the 12 lipsticks I wore.

I do it for fun and I hope you can help me make it even better by also wearing red lips, uploading your photos, tagging me, and using the hashtags #12daysofredlipstick and #dreaminglifeinpink. I love discovering new lipsticks, so be sure to let me know your favorites. Let’s make the beginning of this beautiful season, fun and special.

See you on December 1st with red lips!

NYX Cosmetics Products Review

NYX Cosmetics Products Review

Posted on by Steph

Last Friday I took advantage of a NYX Cosmetics coupon from Gustazos. For that day only and presenting the coupon at Walgreens you could buy up to 5 NYX Cosmetics products for $4. Being the makeup addict that I am, I couldn’t let this opportunity pass, I had to take  it and try new makeup. So I bought a couple of things and of course I had to “play” with them and share my thoughts with you. So, here is my little review.

Lid Lingerie Shadow Palette

This shadows are perfect for someone wanting to create more of an everyday neutral look. These are all matte, which I thought was awesome. There are not a variety of shades, but the great part is that they are very pigmented. In conclusion, if you are looking for some high quality neutral matte shadows give this one a try.

Away We Glow Illuminating Powder

I bought this product because I thought the color will be a perfect blush for Fall. This little guy was so pigmented! The first time I tried it I looked like a clown! What I have been doing is that I only tap twice on the product, very light handed and then I apply it to the apples of the cheek. The lightest color I use has a highlight, but that shade in particular doesn’t have a good color payoff. Sadly I know I will not be grabbing this product on a daily basis, but is not an overall bad product and I will definitely try other shades.

That’s The Point Put a Wing on It Artistry Liner

I am always looking for a good liquid liner to create my cat eyes and this one claimed to be the perfect candidate for the job. Sadly this product I regret buying. This product it’s not easy to work with. I had little to no product deposit from the tip of the liner. For the line to be very black I had to stamp the sides of the liner to my eye lid which resulted on a thick line. Since the tip didn’t have enough product in it, it was very difficult to create the wing and super easy to just make a mess of your makeup. I tried to make it work on 3 occasions and it was always the same, and the 3 times I ended going over it with another liquid liner to make it look some what decent.

Sleap Tease Lip Lacquer

This lip product is very pigmented and glossy and if that is something you are into, great! Before applying the lipstick on my lips I have to really take my time “cleaning” the applicator in the tub, because if I don’t do that I will have a sticky mess on my lips. I try to apply it very light handed and I bloat my lips to take the excess off. This is not a product I dislike, I just think that at the moment they are not the kind of finish I am after. Something good I have to say is that they wear off evenly and they leave a little tint on your lips that looks cute.

Worth the Hype Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara

This mascara I love!! I love how it makes my lashes look. This is one of the things I bought that I am sure I will keep repurchasing. It makes my lashes look full and long with only two coats. What more can I say? I love it and you should go and buy your self one as soon as possible, trust me.

Have you tried any of these products? If you have what are your thoughts? Is any of these products on you makeup wishlist? Did you had the opportunity to use the Gustazo, and if so, what did you bought? I will love to know, be sure to leave your comments below.

Skin Care Favorites

Skin Care Favorites

Posted on by Steph

My skin is far from perfect, but I have been lucky enough to find a couple of products that have been great on my skin.  My skin looks the best it has look in the last couple of years and I believe this products have done the trick, plus drinking a lot of water. Of course, keep in mind every one is different and maybe what works for me doesn’t work for you, but also, you will not know until you try it. If you are going to try one of this products (or any other face product), do it one by one, and give them a little bit of time, that way if something reacts in a bad way on your skin you know what it was. But now, without further a due, I present to you my favorite skin care products.

Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser

I used this face cleanser for the first time more than 5 years ago, I remembered I really liked it and I don’t know why I stopped using it. I used a lot of different products, but didn’t truly love any, until finally I came back to it.  It has been more than a year that I have been using it again, and I love it.  It’s gentle on the skin, it leaves my skin super clean, no trace of makeup after I wash my face, and the best part is that after I use it I don’t feel my face dry or weird. It lathers really well and cleans my face while also keeping it hydrated. I don’t feel the need to go running to apply moisturizer, my face feels good.

Belief The True Cream Aqua Bomb

This moisturizer was recommended to me on a makeup class I went and since then I have been using it. It has been more than a year and every time my jar is running low I have to go and buy another one. This is not a cream, is water based and has kind of a jelly consistency, which is great for combination and oily skin types.  I love how it moisturizes my skin, it’s lightweight and it has a cooling effect. My face absorbs the product fast, and it lefts my skin looking healthy and glowy, which it’s a big plus, because for a long time last semester I wasn’t wearing makeup and I loved how my skin was looking.  The fast absorbing part is great for when you don’t have a lot of time in the morning, I apply my moisturizer and then I proceed to apply my makeup, I don’t have to wait a long time for it to dry, so I don’t have to loose precious time during my morning routine.

Tarte Maracuja Oil

This product has been my holy grail for more than 5 years. I don’t have anything bad to say about it.  I used to suffered of dry patches on my face, and since I started using this product that hasn’t happened. I use this oil as my main night moisturizer, I some times combined it with other things, with mostly I used it with just my eye moisturizer.  I apply this oil on my face, neck and lips and a little bit goes a long way. The skin doesn’t absorbs it super fast, but since I am going to sleep I am in no hurry. The next day my face feels soft and hydrated. I believe it has also helped me with my occasional pimple, I feel like they don’t last as long as they used to since I have been using this product.

If there is something I want you to take away from this is that having a hydrated and moisturized face/skin is important, it will make your skin look better and healthier, while helping keep the wrinkles away.  I have expression marks in my face, because I talk with my face, I am always doing some kind of weird face or expression, I can’t help it, but I believe that if I wasn’t using this products my fine lines and wrinkles will be worse. If you have oily skin don’t shy away from hydrating or oily products, they can also be of help to you.

Have you tried any of this products? Which skin care product you can’t live without? Do you have any recommendations for me? Be sure to leave your comment below.

I have a giveaway open until Friday, October 12, 2018, to see what I am giving away and how to enter visit my Blogversary post here.

The Look: Fall Dream

The Look: Fall Dream

Posted on by Stephanie Silva

I have to start by saying that I cheated… If you read my Makeup Wishlist (you can read it here), you know a mentioned a beautiful eye shadow palette by Huda Beauty was one of the things I wanted to buy myself at the end of the semester. Well… that didn’t happened…

Ok, but I can defend myself! It’s just that I love Fall, it’s no secret. And that palette just screamed Fall to me. And how could I wait until almost Christmas to buy it?! I know you understand.


That beautiful Huda Beauty Eye Shadow Palette in Coral Obsessions was the inspiration behind this gorgeous Fall Dream makeup look I created.


Since it was the first time using this eyeshadow palette I started with the eyes, in case I had any fall out, but it wasn’t something major, the shadows are very creamy. The first shade I used was the lightest color of the palette, the tan shade, in my crease and then to start building it, I applied the burnt orange shade also in the crease. To darken the look a bit, I applied the orange-brown shade to the otter corner of the lid, creating an cat eye effect with it. To make the cat eye effect more dramatic I applied a dark cranberry shade from The Jaclyn Hill Palette.


The most exciting part of this look, for me, was the upper lid area. I applied concealer from the inner corner to the center of the eye to make the colors pop even more. Then I applied the yellow shade on the inner corner of the eye trying to leave the center of the eye without color . To finish it I applied the glittered yellow-orange-red shade with my finger in the center of the eye. It was the cherry on the top.


In the lower lid I started with the yellow shade and gradually darkened it with the burnt orange, brown and last the dark cranberry shade. Lastly I applied my mascara and I was done with the eyes.


In the face I applied my foundation, concealer, and powder. I contoured my face and baked under my eyes and under my cheek contour to make it more dramatic. I finished with a little bit of a luminous golden-coral blush and pinky highlighter.


To finish and bring everything together, plus to take advantage of the Fall season, I went with a dark wine shade.

What were your thoughts about this makeup look? Does your makeup style changes with the season? What is your favorite thing about Fall? I will love to know. Be sure to leave your comments below.

August Makeup Wishlist (Study Motivation)

August Makeup Wishlist (Study Motivation)

Posted on by Steph

It’s no secret that I love browsing the Sephora app in my spare time, and since it’s the beginning of a new semester I thought I will do a Makeup Wishlist to keep myself motivated.  And this one is very special since it’s the last semester of my Masters Degree, this 3 years went flying by, I still remember my first day, nervous and excited, now I am still excited but instead of nervous I am exhausted, so I need all the motivation I can get.

My makeup wishlist are things I will like to buy myself at the end of the semester as a reward for doing my best during the school months. Browsing in the Sephora app, the store, plus watching Youtube videos, this were the products that caught my eye.

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Kilawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Girl Next Door / Chic Phreak

The last time I went to Sephora an employee tried this highlighter on me, and it look so pretty. Of course me being the highlighter addict that I am, I fell in love. It has been on the top of my wishlist since that day.  Plus it’s Fenty Beauty, and everyone is raving about it, I want to truly experience the brand myself.

Huda Beauty Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette in Coral 

This little and beautiful palette caught my eye when I was at the store.  To me it just screams Fall, and I love everything Fall, even though here in Puerto Rico is always Summer.  I love this colors, and I know this is a palette that I will use a lot.  And like Fenty Beauty, Huda Beauty is a brand that a lot of people rave about, and I want to give them a try too.

Stila Glitter On The Go Eye Shadow Set 

When the time comes for me to buy myself things from this list we are going to be in the Holiday Season, and when I saw this product in the app I immediately thought of all the fun looks I could create during the Holidays with it.  I had a vision of me with a beautiful sparkly eye makeup during the festivities, plus, I think that during that season, glitter is a necessity, am I the only one?

Too Faced Melted Matte-Tallic Liquified Metallic Matte Lipstic in Bitch, I am Too Faced

And what better way to finish a festive look than with a red lip? I have been thinking about doing the 12 Days of Red Lipstick this year again, so I have to start looking for new lipsticks. I haven’t actually seen the product, but in my mind it looks so good, red and metallic, yes please. Plus it’s Too Faced, and so long I haven’t had anything bad to say about this brand, so I am trusting them. If you have a favorite red lipstick, please be sure to tell me in the comments below.

Morphe X Jaclyn Hill The Master Collection

Ok, so not everything is from Sephora, (like in my last Makeup Wishlist), this one is from Morphe, and not just that, is a Morphe x Jaclyn Hill product, yes, again. It’s no secret I love Jaclyn Hill and everything I have bought from hers I love. I have been thinking about buying new brushes for a while now, and just recently Jaclyn and Morphe came out with this, and I took that as a sign. The kit comes with 24 brushes, plus that gorgeous sparkly case, and yes, I consider the price to be a bit extravagant, but I think I deserve a super nice Christmas present, so that it’s my plan.

What’s on your makeup wishlist? Are any of this products something you want to buy? Also, what things you do to motivate yourself to get tings acomplished? Let me know everything in the comments below.

My Summer Makeup Routine

My Summer Makeup Routine

Posted on by Steph

At the middle of the semester I stopped doing my makeup, because I wanted to sleep a little bit more, and meditate in the mornings and that’s what I sacrificed (you can read more about it here).  Now that it’s summer and I have the energy, the time and want to do my makeup, the summer heat hasn’t really let me. My solution, I have simplified my routine to accommodate my sweaty face (I know, gross, sorry) and still feel that I did my makeup.

This heat has been so horrible that as soon as I turned the shower off I start sweating, and of course living in a sauna (because that is how my apartment feels), doesn’t help.  I noticed that even without finishing my makeup, it already looked bad and gross, specially my upper lip and forehead.  As a result, now I avoid those areas, and foundation. I’ll say is a good happy medium between no makeup and a full face of makeup.

My lifesaver has been my concealer.  I apply it under my eyes, a little bit on my chin and the center of my forehead and nose and then I set it with powder.

After the concealer the most important product is bronzer. Since my face is naturally lighter than my body I have to apply color and warmth to not look like my face doesn’t belong in my body. Eyes and lips vary depending on my mood, but usually eyes are neutral and lips are a vivid color.
Products I used:

Face:
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer in Medium
Maybelline Fit Me Loose Finishing Powder in 25 Medium

Cheeks:
Nars Bronzer in Casino
Becca Gradient Sunlit Bronzer in Sunrise Waves
Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Rose Quartz

Eyes:
Soap & Glory The Perfect Ten Eye Shadow Palette
Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara in Blackest Black
It Cosmetics Brow Power in Universal Taupe

Lips:
N°7 Stay Perfect  in Pomegranate 205

What do you think of my summer hack? How are you handling the summer heat? Have you done any adjustments to your makeup routine in this hotter months? Be sure to let me know in the comments below.

Curly Hair: Journey and Routine

Curly Hair: Journey and Routine

Posted on by Steph
Hi there!

It’s summer, which means spending days at the pool, beach or outdoors, and not wanting to spend time straightening your hair or just spending to much energy on it. Today I am sharing my curly hair journey and my easy hair routine.
2 years ago. More wavy than curly, and it looked dry and damaged.

I have natural curly hair, but my hair was more wavy than curly, maybe because I didn’t know how to manage it properly. I used to wash it every day and I started using styling gel on my hair very young, thanks to my brother, (funny story, I wanted to have straight hair and he heavily coated my hair with gel and brush it, yes, it was kind of straight and very ugly). I later went thru a face where I didn’t do anything to my hair, I will only wear it in a very tangled bun, it was not pretty, dark times, I think I was 10 at the time. If I remember correctly, it was in my first years of college that I started using conditioners or creams to style my hair.

Before getting a trim, no curls at the ends.

Since last year I decided to embrace it and learn how to take care of it and make it look more curly and healthier. I started using products for curly hair, like shampoo, conditioner and hair creams. But I think what really made the difference was coconut oil. After I started using it I noticed my hair looked better, moisturized, shinny and healthier, and also it grow out a lot. I use one exclusive for hair and body, but, you can use any organic coconut oil and I am pretty sure it will do the same.

The Coconut Oil I have been using for almost 2 years.


I’ll tell you what I do and how I do it.

  1. Apply coconut oil to hair and finger comb it. Leave it between 5-30 minutes.
  2. Shampoo hair, concentrating at the roots.
  3. Condition hair, concentrating at the ends.
  4. Detangle hair with a wide comb, while you still have the conditioner on.
  5. Hair mask (every other wash, once a week).
  6. Gently squeeze excess water from hair. (Do not towel dry)
  7. Apply hair cream and finger comb.
  8. Take off excess water and product with a cotton shirt and do scrunching motions to define curls.
  9. When the hair is dry I fluff the curls with my hands to add volume.
The cream I recently started using and really like.

I only wash my hair twice a week. At nigh I do a very high, almost in my forehead not to tight, ponytail and that way the curls don’t break while I sleep. In the mornings I fluff my hair with my fingers, and if I feel like they need more definition or moisture I apply a little bit of hair cream. I usually like my hair better the second day, because is curlier and it has more volume.

My hair now. Curls from roots to ends.
In this past year my curls have definitely become more define and my hair looks healthier, and even more since I got my ends trim. The trick is time and consistency.

I still haven’t find something or some way to style my hair so it doesn’t have frizz, but in the mean time I am very happy with how it looks. If you have master the no frizz look, let me know what you do in the comments below.

Mini Sephora Haul

Mini Sephora Haul

Posted on by Steph

Hi there!

Did you read my End of Semester Makeup Wishlist? If not go read that here, what I share in this post has to do with that one, don’t miss it.

Here is what happened… I went to Sephora!

I don’t like waiting… and technically the semester is over… I just have this week of my college practice and I am done until August… It was the perfect time to reward my self, don’t you think? And ever since I went “window shopping” in the Sephora app and created my Makeup Wishlist, I have been dying to try new stuff. So, it happened.

This two first things where not on my wishlist, but they are a necessity. I love this belief The true cream – aqua bomb as my moisturizer for the day. It’s actually not a cream, it has a smooth gel like consistency that I feel my skin absorbs really well and l feel hydrated for the whole day. I wrote about it in my Likes and Dislikes post back in September, you can read it here.

The belief Moisturizing eye bomb I have never tried, but my eye cream was running low and they didn’t have it at Sephora. This one looks like the face moisturizer, like it has the same consistency. I think it feels very refreshing in the eye area, which is a plus with how hot the climate has been. I have been using for a couple of days and so far so good.

The second thing I added to my basket, was this beautiful Gradient Sunlit Bronzer in Sunrise Waves from Becca Cosmetics. And just like I said in my last post is perfect! I have been using it everyday since I bought it and I love it. It gives a pretty, luminous, bronze look. The best part is that it is really pigmented, so you don’t need too much product for a subtle natural look. I know this product will be my favorite this summer.

I had a hard time choosing a bronzer. When I went and swatch the O Mega Coconut Perfect Tan it just disappeared in my skin tone, I was dissapointed to say the least. So I went a couple of times around the store swatching different bronzers, searching for a good one. A employee also helped, he showed me Hoola from Benefit, one I don’t remember from Bobbi Brown and this one, Casino by Nars. Of the 3 I liked the last one better, since I was looking for something more natural to create a perfect summer tan look I chose this one. And it’s just what I wanted. It looks natural, like I am just tan and paired with the Gradient Sunlit Bronzer it looks really good and I obsessed with my cheek combo.

So talking about my cheek combo, I also bought a highlighter. I know, you are chocked. I can’t help it. Highlighters are my favorite product right now. In my makeup wishlist I said I was thinking about buying Moonstone by Becca Cosmetics, but when I was there, and saw Rose Quartz, I fell in love. I so so pretty. Nothing that I could say will make it justice. Just trust me when I say it really is pretty. This last 3 products have me obsessed with my face makeup, it doesn’t look harsh, they look natural all together and they give me a awesome luminous, glittery (in the good way), natural, tan look. Believe me when I say that this are the only 3 cheek products I will be using this summer.

And there you have it, this is what I have bought myself from my makeup wishlist. The Vault Collection from Morphe X Jaclyn Hill was not available on the 26 of June like they first announced it, because they identify some inconsistency in the palettes, so I am still waiting for that to come out. And the other product I haven’t bought is the Vitamin Enriched Fase Base Moisturizer, of course I swatched it when I went to Sephora, and it definitely felt moisturizing and good for the skin, but it will have been too much that day, so that one is in the getting soon list.

Have you treated yourself with something you really wanted recently? If so tell me what it was. If not, tell me whats on your list of things you want to do or buy just because you deserve it.

Never stop dreaming,

♥ Steph

Today my summer officially starts, which means my count down to going on vacation is on.  If you want to know where I am going and my favorite things about the place, go here to read about it.

End of Semester Makeup Wishlist (June 2018)

End of Semester Makeup Wishlist (June 2018)

Posted on by Steph

It has been a while since I haven’t made a Makeup Wishlist. I usually do them at the start of a semester as motivation, and I tell my self I will buy something from the list if I believe I performed at the best of my abilities. This time I didn’t do one in January, but I strongly believe that this semester I did a great job joggling everything from my clases, my college practice, my actual work, writing for the blog and my social live, so I have earned one makeup product, or more, for my hard work.

As motivation for the last weeks of June I decided to go on the Sephora app to make my wishlist of things I want to buy for myself. And since my birthday is next month, I have the perfect excuse to splurge on my self. I will definitely not buy everything, at least not for now, but this are the products that have caught my eye and that I want to have.

The first thing on my list isn’t from Sephora, but is at the top of my list, I don’t even think I will wait until my birthday. The new Vault Collection from Morphe X Jaclyn Hill has me all excited! I love my The Jaclyn Hill palette, the shadows are great quality, super pigmented and just beautiful and versatile, and looking at the new shades I know this ones will become a favorite as fast as the first one. Click here to see her swatching the different shades so that you fall in love like me.

I have heard great things from this Vitamin Enriched Fase Base Moisturizer by Bobby Brown. This is one of the products I want to try for myself. I am looking forward to using this as a primer before my face makeup. It says it moisturizes and protects from environmental damage. Of course I want that for my skin.

This Gradient Sunlit Bronzer in Sunrise Waves from Becca looks like a perfect summer dream. I can wait to play with it and create bronzy summer makeup looks with it. Plus the highlighter at the conners is Opal, which is one of Becca highlighter that I have been wanting to try.

My go to makeup usually consists of contouring with a matte bronzer and adding highlighter and thats all for the cheeks. So I want to try a new one. Browsing on the Sephora app I found this one, the O!Mega Bronzer Coconut Perfect Tan, and it has all 5 stars reviews, I immediately went to YouTube to see reviews and all I found where good ones, and of course now I want it. I think this bronzer paired with the Becca Bronzer will look amazing!

Of course a highlighter had to made it’s way on to my list, this one is a Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter Moonstone. And of course it had to be a Becca Cosmetics one. Since my Rose Gold Becca Highlighter died, I clumsily dropped it to the floor and it shattered (it was so sad), I have been wanting to try another one. I love my Champagne Pop by Jaclyn Hill (yes, I love her) highlighter and this one looks like it a bit, but it’s lighter, more neutral, so I think I may go with this one. No matter the shade, my next highlighter will be a Becca one.

And there you have it. The month of July will be for treating myself, having fun, and also for doing stuff and purchasing things that I really want and enjoy, like for example conquering my Summer Bucket List, that you can read here, and purchasing some (or all) things in my Makeup Wishlist.

Have you tried any of this products? What makeup products are you excited to try or own? Let me know in the comments below so that I have an excuse to go “window” shopping on the internet.

Never stop dreaming,
