Hello everyone! Hope you're all enjoying the summer!

Today I wanted to talk about a product that makes me look more human being and less zombie.

It is the Clarins Eye Contour Gel.

I've always suffered with really bad dark circles, but lately because of all of the stress that came to me with exams my sleep hasn't been that good.

Now I'm more used to waking up everyday -even Sundays- at 8am or so, but I had to improve the dark circle situation yet.

This is a sample that was given to me recently and I can tell is really good.
When I first wrote this post one week ago I said "I haven't seen a huge difference but I like it". Well, today I'm re-writting it because I must correct myself and say that I've seen a huge difference and this thing is amazing!
Now though my under-eyes still have a slight dark color, I don't have that hard line that separated the under-eye zone from the rest of my face, it's like the gel has blurred the color difference.
So this eye contour gel gets a thumbs up from me and more due to the summer hotness that makes my face sweat and my makeup disappear.
And you, which product use to improve your dark circles?

Love,

Exams to get to uni are the ones that have kept me from writing a new post.

I'm really sorry for not having some days fixed for posting new content but the lasts two months or so have been crazy with the finals, prom, work, etc. But summer is here and although I have a pretty busy July planned ahead I hope I'll be able to post more.

I also want to thank you all for all the good comments on last post and also because my visits have increased like crazy since.

But let's go to what it's important today, and the protagonist of today's post is this amazing Mineralize Skinfinish from MAC.

Last month was the one for new additions on my makeup collection and this was one of the most exiting ones.

Looking for the perfect highlight for my prom night I reached the MAC section at my local shopping centre and had I really successful chat with the makeup artist there, for me because I learned a lot, and for her because I got a couple of products.

You must be very careful with this one because as you can see in the picture the shimmer goes everywhere, but the finish it gives to your skin is so beautiful! It's like I'm shining, but not the sweatty shine, the gorgeous shine.

Being a natural makeup lover makes it difficult to suit it to my everyday makeup look, but for nights out or the day I fancy to put more effort on my makeup it's marvelous!

Love,

Hope you're all good!

Today's post may not be a shock for you but it is for me.

I have NEVER wear eyeliner, of any kind, not because I didn't know how to make it, but because I though it didn't suit me. But as you know if you've read my older posts I had a makeup done by a Sephora's makeup artist and she told me that an eyeliner could make your makeup look much more classy if you did it well and she used a gel eyeliner.

So recently I decided Why not? I'm going to try it and if it doesn't work I can give it to my mother or sister -because they wear eyeliner always-. I have to confess that start your eyeliner experience with a gel eyeliner can be a little bit tricky. The firsts times I wasn't able to make both eyes not same but at least similar and that drove me crazy!

But with practice it's been improving, though I recon that I always have a cotton and eye makeup remover -just in case!-. I'm introducing the eyeliner to my everyday makeup routine when I have a lot of time to do it, because if I'm in a hurry it can be a disaster!

The one I use is The Make Up Forever Aqua Black Waterproof Cream Eye Shadow.

I don't have anything to compare it with, but I do have some things to say about it.

You can be absolutely sure that they are not lying to you when they say is waterproof, and I mean it because I've showered with the makeup on and when I've gone out, the mascara was al over my face but the eyeliner was intact.

I applied with one of my new brushes from Sephora, so be aware because I'll do a post about them soon!

Love,

L xx
