Zara sales mini haul

It´s July in Seville and that means a heavy, suffocating heat descends upon the city and embeds itself into the atmosphere until about mid September. And when I say heat I mean anything between 35 and 45 degrees for the best part of the afternoon. pretty grim! So people start to hibernate indoors and sit under the airconditioning until it cools down slightly in the evening. One great thing however about this month is that on the 1st of July the Zara webpage sale springs into life and suddenly my bank cards appear and get a battering as I greedily grab all the goodies I´ve had my eye on during the season. So, here you are- my haul so far!

I love the pumpkin colour coat as I think it will be nice for in-between seasons, and its also a very classic, lady-like shape! I snapped the bag up as I think a black leather bag is never lost, and I love the gold chain detail. And the ethnic blazer is quite eye-catching and a bit of a statement piece. I saw it on a few bloggers and wanted it so much but couldn´t quite justify the price so I jumped to buy it when I saw it instore in my size, there was one left! And half price! I love a bargain. I´m thinking about teaming it will an all black look and some gold accessories!

And I also picked up two rather pretty tops. The first one is a sort of delicate lacey top in soft beige, which I liked because I like tops that have a sort of romantic, vintage look. The other is a sheer ivory top with lovely detail around the collar part.

April budget beauty favourites

I´m back! And as I´ve been away for a while I´ll keep you updated with my beauty favourites from the last month. First up this lovely candy pastel pink nail varnish from Kiko in shade 376, just 2.50 euros. I´ve got so many bright nail varnishes in coral, mint, turquoise and fuschia that I thought why not try a softer colour. It´s super girly and combines with my spring wardrobe really well. So far I´ve resisted all the Essie hype, the colours look gorgeous but way too pricey for a nail varnish. 

Ya estoy de vuelta! Y como he estado fuera por un tiempo voy a estar al día de mis favoritos belleza del último mes. En primer lugar este dulce encantadora pastel esmalte de uñas de color rosa de Kiko en la sombra 376, a sólo € 2,50. Tengo tantas pinta uñas en colores fuertes como coral, menta, turquesa y fucsia que pensé ¿por qué no intentar un color más suave. Es súper femenina y combina con mi armario de primavera muy bien. Hasta ahora me he resistido a todo el bombo de Essie, los colores se ven preciosas, pero es demasiado caro para un simple pinta uñas...de momento.

I´ve also been loving more budget cosmetics as I had a bit of a haul last month back in the UK. In superdrug I picked up these two cream blushes from Make Up Forever (MUA) for just 2 pounds each! Bargain! They are very easy to blend and pretty colours that give a ´pop´ colour and leave you looking healthy, with dewy cheeks rather than a cakey, powdery look. I chose a bright cool toned pink called Bittersweet, and a corally peach called Dolly. MUA is available at Superdrug.

También he sido amante de más cosméticos presupuesto ya que tenía un poco de un tirón el mes pasado en el Reino Unido. En Superdrug cogí estos dos rubores crema de Make Up Forever (MUA) por sólo 2 libras cada uno! Ganga! Son muy fáciles de mezcla y los colores que dan las mejillas un aspecto jugoso y saludable. Elegí un tono rosa brillante llamado Bittersweet, y un melocotón coral llamado Dolly. MUA está disponible en tiendas de maquillaje online.

Another April favourite is my huge bronzer from Spanish supermarket Mercadona´s Deliplus range. It reminds me of top end bronzers as it is subtle and without shimmer so perfect for contouring, and gives a warm glow without any dreaded orange effect! The staying power isn´t that amazing and it hasn´t toppled my all time favourite Laguna by Nars but at only 7 euros what more can you ask!

Otra abril favorito es mi gigante polvo de sol de la gama Deliplus del supermercado Mercadona. Me recuerdo de otros polvos del sol mas caros ya que es sutil y sin brillo tan perfecto para el contorno, y le da un brillo cálido y sin ningún efecto naranja! La capacidad de resistencia no es tan increíble y no ha derrocado a mi todo el tiempo Laguna favorito Nars pero a sólo 7 euros, ¡qué más se puede pedir!

Review: Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant

As we are given a week off work when the flamenco fair hits Seville every year, I took the opportunity to go home to the UK to see my family. I also got some chores done like getting my wedding dress fitted and getting some new glasses too. I´d seen this product on a review by Lisa Eldridge of her favourite skincare. She recommends not using a heavy, abrasive ´scrub´ to exfoliate you face, but use products that contain lactic acid and salicylic acid which manage to clean your pores deep down without you having to slough away at your skin. That sounded perfect so I bought this rather pricey product, Dermalogica´s Gentle Cream Exfoliant as I´m always trying to find things which are gentler on my skin whilst cleansing deeply. It´s simple to use, you smooth it onto a clean face in a light layer and wait for it to work for 10-15 minutes. I felt my face tingling at first but apparently this is perfectly normal and it stops soon after. Then you gently remove it with warm water. My face felt so smooth and bright after, so I´m continuing to use it twice a week to replace my scrub exfoliant products. It´s quite a luxurious product but it does the job!

Como tuve la semana libre por de la Feria de Sevilla como todos los años, tuve la oportunidad de volver a casa al Reino Unido para ver a mi familia. También tengo algunas tareas realizadas como conseguir mi vestido de novia y conseguir algunas nuevas gafas también. Había visto este producto en un video por Lisa Eldridge sobre el cuidado de la piel. Se recomienda no utilizar un 'scrub' abrasiva para exfoliar la cara, sino el uso de productos que contienen ácido láctico y ácido salicílico que logran limpiar los poros en el fondo sin tener que mudar lejos en su piel. Eso sonaba perfecta, así que compré este producto (bastante caro), Gentle Cream Exfoliant/ Suave Exfoliante Crema de Dermalogica como siempre estoy tratando de encontrar cosas que son suaves en la piel, mientras que la limpieza profunda. Es muy sencillo de utilizar, extender en una cara limpia en una capa ligera y esperar que funcione durante 10-15 minutos. Me sentí que mi cara pica un poquito al principio, pero al parecer esto es perfectamente normal y se detiene poco después. Luego de quitar suavemente con agua tibia. Mi cara se sentía tan suave y brillante después, así que estoy de continuar usándola dos veces a la semana para reemplazar mis productos exfoliantes matorrales. Es todo un producto de lujo, pero hace el trabajo super bien!

Review: Cleansing Oil

This is a star product that I´m annoyed I hadn´t discovered earlier. I had been using gentle cleansing milk or cleansing lotion for years til I read up online about what really does melt away make up and grime on your skin whilst being gentle and keeping it silky soft, oils! Oils are big news recently, and it appears they dont just moisturise but also cleanse, in fact some people say they are the new superhero of cleansers! So, a lot of the cleansing oils on the market are high end (Shu Uemura, SK II, Origins, Philosophy) products but Mercadona´s Deliplus range have brought out theirs, 24K Gold Progress Aceite Desmaquillante, and it costs around 5 euros for a nice big 240ml bottle.  I apologise if you don´t live in Spain and can´t get hold of this particular product but I bet there are some decent drug-store cleansing oils that do the same job as this one. You slather it on to your face at the end of the day and gently massage it in with fingertips and it will sofly melt away your full face of make up. Then you rinse it off with warm water and follow up with a toner or a micellar water product like Dioderma´s Sensibio H20. These two steps will leave your skin squeaky clean, deep cleansed and fresh without blocking pores. Have you tried cleansing oils? Please share your experiences, which product have you tried?

Este es un producto estrella que estoy molesta que no habia descubierto antes. Yo había estado utilizando leche limpiadora suave o una loción limpiadora durante años hasta que leí online de lo que realmente se quita maquillaje y la suciedad en la piel, al mismo tiempo cuida  y mantenerla suave la piel como la seda, pues... aceites! Los aceites son una gran noticia últimamente  y parece que no lo hacen sólo hidrata, sino también limpiar, de hecho, algunas personas dicen que son el nuevo superhéroe de productos de limpieza! Por lo tanto, muchos de los aceites de limpieza en el mercado son productos de gama alta (Shu Uemura, SK II, Origins, Philosophy) pero la gama Deliplus de Mercadona han sacado su version, 24K Gold Progress Aceite Desmaquillante, y cuesta unos 5 euros. Pido disculpas si usted no vive en España y no pueden apoderarse de este producto en particular, pero apuesto a que hay algunas tiendas decentes drogas aceites de limpieza que hacen el mismo trabajo como éste. Lo masaje en la cara al final del día y extenderlo suavemente con los dedos para que se derretirá todo el maquillaje en tu cara. A continuación, lávela con agua tibia y un seguimiento con un producto como agua micelar Sensibio Dioderma de H20. Estos dos pasos dejará su piel reluciente de limpio, limpio profundo y fresco sin engrasar. ¿Has probado los aceites de limpieza? Por favor, comparta sus experiencias, qué producto ha intentado?

April lust list

What a surprise, there are some lovely spring clothes in the shops at the moment. My favourite is this lovely sky blue jacket from Zara TRF. I´ve already bought the beige suede jacket from Mango recently so I´m definitely not allowed another, maybe I will be lucky in the summer sales though. Here are a few more picks. What do you think?

Pues que sorpresa, hay tanta ropa bonita en las tiendas en esto momento. Mi favorito es este chaqueta en azul claro estampado de Zara TRF. Como acabo de comprarme la chaqueta de ante de Mango no me puedo permitir otro... del momento. Aqui pongo unas cosas que me han llamado la atención en los principios de este mes. ¿Que opináis?

jacket from Zara

dress from Berksha

shoes from Blanco

bag from Asos

Gentle Cream Exfoliant from Dermalogica

Kate Moss Lipsticks from Rimmel at Boots

Zara´s pelican top

Easter has been a fun week despite the mixed weather here in southern Spain. Apart from the tapas and easter processions, I got to go shopping with my sister, which is a big treat for both of us as live in different countries, we get on so well, oh and we both love a  bit of retail therapy, the type where you end up loaded with bags, a happy half-guilty smile and a lighter purse. I´ve still got a soft spot for wearing animal print on clothes, it´s something I´m wondering when I´ll grow out of! This sheer top from Zara TRF is my latest. It´s very cute for spring and looks great with a little white strappy cami under. It costs 19,90 euros. 

 La Semana Santa ha sido una semana muy divertido a pesar del tiempo mixto aquí en el sur de España. Además de las tapas y procesiones de Semana Santa, tuve oportunidad de ir de  compras con mi hermana, que es un gran placer para nosotros ya que vivimos en países diferentes, nos llevamos tan bien, ah, y los dos nos encanta un poco de terapia de compras, el tipo donde terminan cargados con bolsas, una sonrisa feliz-culpable y la cartera más ligera. Todavía tengo un cariño especial por llevar el estampado animal en la ropa, es algo que me pregunto cuando voy superar! Esta blusita de Zara TRF es el ultimo prenda que compre. Es muy lindo para la primavera y su precio es de 19,90 euros.

Leibster Blog Award

A big thank you to the lovely Dannielle from D is for... who tagged/ nominated my blog for a Leibster Blog Award, such a nice surprise especially after a week´s break from my updating my blog for my Easter holiday. This blogging malarky is pretty fun! Apparently Leibster is German for ´beloved´ and the idea of it is to promote awareness and recognition of new bloggers. So everyone is a winner really, yay!

So, here are the rules that I will dutifully abide by:
1. Share 11 things about yourself.
2. Answer the 11 questions that the person who tagged you asked.
3. Choose 11 blogs to nominate - they must have less than 200 Google Friend Connect Followers and tell them via comment on their blog.
4. Ask their 11 questions.
5. Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog.

Ok let´s see... 11 things about me. 

1. I´m a big fan of Wigan Rugby League.
2. I´m getting married this year on......Friday 13th September. Yes really, superstition is being thrown outta the window.
3. I used to work in Monsoon and I´m getting most of my family´s wedding clothes from there including my dress.
4. I have a BA in English Literature and I love reading
5. I learnt how to practise TM (Transcendental Meditation)

7. My guilty pleasure is Girls Aloud. I love them, especially Kimberley.
8. I cycle to work and never drive although I have a legal licence. Luckily the city I live in has cycle paths all over it.

10. I love doing cross stitch as its very relaxing.
11. My friends and workmates don´t know that I blog!


Here are my answers to Dannielle´s questions:


What is your biggest fear? Something bad happening to one of my family. I don´t live in the UK anymore and sometimes feel too far away.
If you had to be a character from any film for a day, who would it be and why? That´s difficult, hmmm... what about Marie Antoinette in Sofia Coppola´s film, big frilly frocks, macarons, flouncing around the gardens. It would have to be a day before all it all kicked off in France though obviously!
Do you know exactly where you want to be in 5 years time? More relaxed, happily married, and with a few kiddies!
Would you rather go shopping for lots of cheaper things or a few expensive things? That´s difficult as I love bargains, but sometimes expensive treats are worth it! If its clothes then lots of cheaper things, if its cosmetics or make up then expensive things.
Have you got any nicknames? Not really, maybe some that out of context would sound odd so I won´t bother writing them! 
If you had to create your own business what would it be? A coffee shop with a reading and creative writing corner by day which becomes a  wine bar with stand up comedy and bands in the evening.
What did you dress up as for Halloween last year? (And if you didn't dress up, what wouldyou have dressed up as?) I was a vampiress. I wanted to go as Lady Macbeth but I left it to the last minute and couldn´t sort it out. Maybe next time...
Are you going on holiday this summer? Yes, for my honeymoon, Im not sure where we´re going yet, maybe the Greek Islands, or maybe Thailand. 
What's top of your bucket list? I must be completely out of touch as I had to google that, OK, things to do before I die...well I could say write a book, see the Taj Mahal,  etc but I don´t really like to set those types of goals, I´d just like to be wonderfully happy, make the right decisions and not have any regrets when it ends. 
Do you prefer nights in or nights out? Nights out, especially in the summer and especially the unplanned ones you just go along with which end up being the most fun. Nights in when you are tired and have a good film and some decent wine are great too though.
What never fails to make you smile? Being tickled.

My turn to make questions for my nominees:

1. What was your first word?

2. What would be your ideal job?

3. What literary character do you most identify with?

4. If a big bag of money to spend on only one clothes item what would you buy?

5. What language would you speak if you could learn any others?

6. What´s your earliest memory?

7. What´s your guiltiest pleasure?

8. Do you belive in karma?

9. What´s your favourite expression or saying?

10. If you could live anywhere in the world where would you live?

11. Why did you start blogging?

Cutwork trend

I love the cutwork trend this spring, especially on bags and purses. It´s a bit of a reoccuring theme and I think it adds a bit of interest to otherwise simple things.

The Miranda Kerr jacket

I´m a little bit delighted with my latest purchase from Mango, the suede light beige jacket you have probably seen with the uber-gorgeous Miranda Kerr. It didn´t disappoint when I saw it instore and I tried it on and knew it had to come home with me. And its real leather and only 59.99 Euros so not bad at all. As there is still no sign of spring, not even a single ray of sunshine, just heavy rain and snow back home in the UK, I will get lots of wear out of this little jacket. Something interesting to know is that it comes in various colours, including pale pink, so for me it´s a case of resisting further temptation! There is a pleated coral skirt I have my eye on too. Tell me your thoughts, have you bought anything from Mango recently? I hope you enjoy Easter, I´ll be back next weekend. 

Estoy un poco encantado con mi última adquisición de Mango, la chaqueta de ante en beige claro que seguramente hayáis visto con el tan-guapa-que-es-ridículo Kerr Miranda. No me decepcionó cuando lo vi en directo y en cuanto  que me lo probé, supe que tenía que venir a casa conmigo. Y su piel auténtica y sólo 59,99 Euros, así que no está mal en absoluto! Como todavía no existe un signo de la primavera, ni siquiera un solo rayo de sol, sólo fuertes lluvias y incluso nieve en mi pueblo de Reino Unido, pues voy a tener un montón de uso de la chaqueta. Algo interesante es saber que viene en varios colores, como rosa pálido, así que para mí es un caso de resistir la tentación de más! Para ahora hay una falda plisada coral tengo fichado. A ver que piensa mi hermana quien me visita este semana santa. Dime tus pensamientos, te he comprado nada de Mango recientemente? Espero que paséis un buen semana santa, vuelvo el fin de semana que viene! 

Here it is!

Review: Chanel Poudre Universaille/ Loose Powder

Well if you can´t splash out on luxury products for your wedding when can you? This is a beautiful powder that sets your make up, gives your skin a silky smooth look and feel, and leaves you shine free all day. You have to apply it very lightly, just a sprinkling to set your face. It´s a surprisingly huge tub that with the classic Chanel black and gold packaging, and it looks gorgeous on your dressing table. I bought this in 30 Naturel- Translucent 2 as I found, despite being very fair, the lightest tone (Clair) was too chalky white for my skin tone. As this is a pretty expensive loose powder, it´s Chanel darling after all, I wouldn´t buy it for everyday use, but it you have a special event, why not? If you´re serious about your face powder, it will last ages and it´s a lovely finely-milled quality. I use a kabuki brush to apply it as I can blend it in better, if you prefer you can use the very soft puff applicator if you want to pat the powder onto your face instead. It´s a gorgeous product, weightless, natural and makes the skin look healthy. 

Bueno, si no se puede gastar en productos de lujo para su boda cuando se puede? Este es un hermoso polvo que fija el maquillaje, le da a su piel un aspecto suave y sedoso, y te deja sin brillo todo el día. Hay que aplicarlo muy a la ligera para evitar que se da a la piel un aspecto acartonado, aunque el acabado es mas bien satinado. El producto es sorprendentemente enorme que con el embalaje clásico de Chanel en negro y oro, se ve hermosa en su tocador! Compré esto en 30 Naturel-Translucent 2 como encontré el tono más claro, Clair, era demasiado blanca para mi tono de piel (aunque soy muy rubita). Como se trata de un polvo suelto bastante caro yo no lo compraría para el uso diario, pero si tienes un evento especial, ¿por qué no? Yo aplico con un broche de kabuki aunque viene con una esponjita para aplicarlo  muy suave y bonita. Es un producto magnífico, sin peso, natural y hace que la piel luzca saludable.

Kimonos

I like kimonos as they´re perfect for a spring and summer cover up. They´re light and elegant and give us a break from jackets and blazers. Here are my favourite picks in the shops at the moment. What do you think?

Me gustan los kimonos, son ideales para el entretiempo de primavera o taparse en los noches de verano. Son ligeros y elegantes y nos dan un descanso de las chaquetas y blazers. Aquí están mis selecciones favoritas en las tiendas en este momento. ¿Te gustan?

Review: Benefit´s High Beam

I´ve always applied this over my cheekbones or under my brow bone and thought it´s a nice subtle highlighter with a gorgeous pale pinky pearly sheen. The texture is light and liquidy and its so easy to blend. The little bottle retails at about £18.50 but it lasts for ages. I think I will get Sunbeam soon, its a ´golden bronze´ version perfect for the summer. I also really like Bobbi Brown´s shimmerbrick, a lovely luxurious highlighter I had in tone beige which I once dropped on the bathroom floor and the rest is history.  Anyway as Benefit´s High Beam is so satiny and liqudy I discovered the trick of mixing a little into my foundation before applying it to the face. I don´t know why I only just starting doing this, I suppose I had always though it might end up looking ridiculously shiny. I was wrong! This is great little trick, it gives the skin a healthy glow when it catches the light, mix a little in on the back of your hand and then ta-da: instant radiance! Have you tried it? 

Siempre me he aplicado este sobre los pómulos o debajo de la cejas y pensaba que era un marcador bonito que tiene una hermoso brillo rosado nacarado. La textura es liquido y  ligero, y es tan fácil aplicar y extender. La botella dura mucho tiempo. Lo quiero comprarme Sunbeam también  es un tono dorado ´golden bronze´ perfecto por los meses de verano.También me gustan mucho los shimmerbrick de Bobbi Brown, son iluminadores preciosos de lujo, de lo cual yo tenia en tono Beige y una vez me ha caído en el suelo del baño y el resto es historia. Bueno he tenido mas suerte con High Beam de Benefit, y últimamente he descubierto el truco de mezclar un poco con el base de maquillaje en liquido. Yo no sé por qué sólo acaba de empezar haciendo esto, supongo que siempre imaginaba que podría dar aspecto de cara demasiado brillante y ridículo. Pero que va! Solo hay que mezclar una poquito con el base maquillaje, aplicarlo a la cara y toma! Este pequeño truco es genial, que da a la piel un brillo saludable cuando se capta la luz. ¿Lo has probado?

Review: Estee Lauder doublewear foundation and concealer

After loving my free sample of this foundation I pounced on it when it was on offer in a Spanish cosmetics store recently (see here). It´s a very special, super long-lasting foundation that gives me a flawless and even complexion. I think it has become my new favourite. Thinking about foundations for my wedding, I had tested Guerlain´s Parure Extreme, Make Up Forever´s HD Foundation and Revlon´s Colorstay Foundation, but this is the one that outperformed them all. I had to buy the concealer too which made my purchase notably more expensive but wow, its worth it. I got it in the lightest tone to use over imperfections and under my eyes. It´s creamy and give full coverage. The doublewear range from Estee Lauder is worth all the hype. Although I use Bourjois´s Healthy Mix or Lilylolo´s mineral foundation during weekdays, this product is ideal for going out at the weekend or special occasions, you could wear it every day but I think for me I prefer something lighter. So to conclude, its up there with the best foundations, I´d give it an A*. The only thing is I need to see how it photographs as it has a SPF10, if I see that my face has a white cast on photos I´m afraid I´m back to square one. Please share your thoughts, what do you think the perfect foundation is?

Después de enamorarme a mi muestra gratis de esta base me abalancé sobre él cuando estaba en oferta en la tienda Aromas de cosméticos españoles recientemente. Es un base de maquillaje muy especial, super duradero que me da un cutis perfecto y uniforme. Creo que se ha convertido en mi nuevo favorito. Pensando en bases de mi boda, yo había probado Parure Extreme de Guerlain , Make Up Forever HD y el base de Revlon ColorStay, pero esta es la que superó a todos. Tuve que comprar el corrector también, lo cual hizo que mi compra notablemente más caro, pero sin duda vale la pena. Lo tengo en el tono más claro de usar para tapar las imperfecciones y aplicar por el contorno de los ojos. Es cremoso y da una cobertura total. La gama doublewear de Estee Lauder se merece su buena fama. Aunque yo uso Bourjois Healthy Mix o el base Lilylolo de mineral durante los días de semana, este producto es ideal para salir los fines de semana o en ocasiones especiales, se podría usar todos los días, pero creo que para mí, prefiero algo más ligero día a día  Así que para concluir, su altura de los mejores bases, que le daría una nota de 10. Lo único es que tengo que ver cómo se retrata como tiene un SPF10, si veo que mi cara tiene un tono blanco en las fotos, temo que estoy de vuelta al punto de partida. Por favor comparta sus pensamientos, ¿qué crees que es la base perfecta?

Estee Lauder is availables here at Boots, here at Selfrides, or here on the official webpage.

Notebooks

I love writing down my thoughts, making wish lists, lists of books to read, lists of the things to do, organising my weeks, and occassionally when I have a creative burst of energy, writing poems. I have accumulated lots of notebooks for this reason. Here they are! Anyone else have a bit of a collection going on? 

Me encanta escribir mis pensamientos, hacer listas de deseos, listas de libros para leer, listas de cosas para hacer, organizar mis semanas, y ocasionalmente cuando tengo un estallido de energía creativa, escribir poemas. He acumulado un montón de cuadernos por esta razón. ¡Aquí están! ¿Alguien más tiene un poco de una colección?

Review: Daniel Sandler Watercolour blush

I trust Lisa Elridge a lot, so much that I bought this blush without even seeing it or trying it first, this or any Daniel Sandler product. Lisa recommends it in her video for ´summer rose´ bridal look. It contains silicones so it glides on and promises great lasting power. I bought it in the shade cherub which is a universally flattering soft rose tone that gives a pop of colour. When the bottle came I saw that it needs a good shake before you use it, as it separates a little. It´s quite watery so you can apply with a brush or stroke it on the apples of your cheeks with fingers like I do. The colour is pretty, its similiar in texture and tone to Benefit´s Posie Tint, and it certainly lasts all day providing your skin isn´t too oily. I think I will go ahead and use this on my wedding day with care taken to blend it in properly as its more difficult to do so than with a blush powder. I do like the way powder blushes sit on the skin though for a more matte look so I prefer to use a bit of Benefit´s Dandelion on top. Meanwhile I´m thinking of using this product for the beach to see if it really is water-proof and budge-proof. Have you ever tried any Daniel Sandler products? What do you think of liquid blushers?

Confío en Lisa Elridge mucho, tanto que me he comprado este colorete sin ni siquiera verlo o probarlo primero, este o cualquier otro producto de Daniel Sandler. Lisa se ​​lo recomienda en su video para novias 'rosa de verano´. Contiene siliconas por lo que se desliza y promete gran poder duradero. Lo compré en la sombra ´cherub´ o querubín que es un tono rosa suave universalmente halagador que le da un toque de color. Cuando la botella de vino que vi que se necesita una buena sacudida antes de usarlo. Se puede aplicar con un pincel o ligeramente con los dedos sobre los mejillas como yo. El color es bonito, un poco similar en textura y tono de tinte Posie del Benefit, y ciertamente dura todo el día. Creo que voy a seguir adelante y utilizar esto en mi día de la boda con cuidado para mezclar correctamente porque es más difícil de hacerlo que con un polvo de rubor. Me gusta los coloretes en liquido en la piel, aunque para un aspecto más mate así que prefiero usar un poco de ´Dandelion´ de Benefit en los pómulos  ¿Alguna vez ha tratado de cualquiera de los productos de Daniel Sandler? ¿Qué piensa de coloretes líquidos?

Purchased from www.feelunique.com or you can buy it here from the official Daniel Sandler website here
