Summer haul part I: Make up.


Hello...

I read a lot of different blogs, but all of them seem to have this in common,and something that I really like are the "Haul" posts,I just love seeing what other people buys, and sometimes you realize you have the same item, and it's like you're connected but not really? sorry that was weird... now to be honest I had to google the meaning of haul,cause I'm still learning english and I've never heard that word before, haha anyway now I know what it means and now here's my first haul post, which includes some make up, shoes, and clothes, to be honest I think these haul post will be very sporadicly cause I tend to buy lots of things during the summer cause umm SALES and over the winter so...anyway here it is.

So this first part is about make up, some of these product are from local brands so that's probably why you haven't even heard of them...



 Skin care: Facial Gel AXL and this wonderful face scrub are saving my skin right now!

 Face: the Pure Make up Maybelline foundation, which isn't that great, and this Asepxia creamy foundation that my mom got me, it works pretty well actually (doesn't clog your pores).


Mascaras: My favorite mascara of all time is the Colossal Volume express waterproof from Maybelline, it makes my lashes look so good, and these is the 3 time I purchase it, BUT is so hard to remove :(, and these other cheap mascaras, haha which are good actually and easy to remove, I use the Maybelline one when I go out but for every day make up I recommend a lighter mascara.



Eye liners: I bought these 4 on a 2x4 offer on a local store, they're from maybellin and are quite good actually, and well is a change from the usual black or brown eye liner, also very cheap like $20 mxn, which is like $2 usd or less


And this Renova HD liquid liner, I got this so I can properly try on some cat eye action haha in is pretty good.



Lips: I got these 2 lipglos, firts I thought they were like colour lipgloss, but the color is very light, but they have something that makes your lips ich and suddendly you have bigger lips haha lip pumper i think?

AND my favorites right now, these Maybelline lipsticks, so creamy, and such a good pigmentation, and don't leave you with a dry effect or something.



I know all of these are drug store products, but in the place where I livee there are not brands like MAC or Sephora, so I have to get what I can, and also I just recently started to use make up, yeah at 22 I started, but anyway, I hope you like the post, the next part is all about clothes!

Hope you're having a lovely weekend!
Take care x.

Maybelline Pure Make Up Foundation.



Hello!, so I finally did it, I planned a review and actually took some photos and everything, so here it is...

Brand: Maybelline N.Y.
Product name: Pure Make Up foundation.
Shade: 45 dorado 
Content: 30ml

Now, I searched around the Maybelline U.S. and U.K. site to see if the product was available other than in   México, Argentina and other Latinamerica countries, and nothing... so my guess is that the product is specific for in Latinamerica, I think it is, cause the shades seem a bit more darker than other productos, which is okay cause some girls we have a bit darker skin tone.


As you can see in the first picture, the product seems lighter than my skin tone, but when I applied it to my face, it adjusted to my skin tone, which is really good, cause with other products my face looks lighter than my neck or arms.


Here is a before and after, sorry for the different lightning but damn you sun, anyway you can see how it really covers some imperfections and doesn't make my skin look lighter or darker.

Now, the packaging says that the product will absorb the oils produced by your skin, it also says that will help to control brightness, and it says that is appropiate for mixed and oily skin, so I bought it cause my face can be very oily specially during summer, BUT it did not help at all to my skin, it didn't control de brightness, and the worst is that it says "anti-imperfections" and well at least for me it was a lie, when I applied it, not even 1 hour later, my face felt oily, greasy, and when I washed it off, I could see new imperfections in my face.

So, let's see, I probably wouldn't recommend it if you have mixed oily skin, maybe it works better with a normal skin, but the thing is that the product states that is appropiate when in reality is not. I liked the fact that the shade actually matches my skin tone, but that's it, I'll definetly not be buying it again.

Have you tried this product? and how it worked for you? 
What product would you recommend me?

Hope you're all well, have a good weekend! x.
