Met Gala 2016 Part 2: Make up and Hair

From left to right: Hailee Steinfeld, Taylor Swift, Poppy Delevingne, Allison Williams

The first thing that call my eyes from Hailee’s look was her eye make up, and if I’m honest I am not a fan of her lipstick but that is because I always prefer a more matte lipstick. I was disappointed in Taylor’s dress because I always really like them but this year I was not a big fan, her hair however, I’ve been obsessed since day 1, I love how she dared to bleach it, and her makeup was so beautiful, the way they highlighted her lips and leaving a more casual look for her eyes. Poppy also went for a dark lipstick which I am currently obsessed with (must.get.more). Lastly, Alison Willms lipstick was also one of my favorite but what really stuck me from her look is her hair and the little silver detail on the side.

 Amandla Stenberg, Lily Collins, Elle Fanning, Kate Upton

Everyone knows I adore septums rings and everytime I get to wear my fake one I do (don’t care how many times they tell me to stop), so of course I was drawn to her look, also I want whatever she is doing to her eyebrows done with mines. But if we are talking about eyebrows everyone knows Lily Collins is the queen here, I think they are every girls dreams (I’m no exception).  Regarding Elle’s her makeup is so natural, I love it, as well as her high pony tail. And Kate just looks flawless, no words needed.

Amber Heard, Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Selena Gomez

I don’t know what to say about Amber because she just looks flawless, the way her hair looks with her red lipstick and natural eye makeup is beautiful beyond words. I love Bella’s hair it has a old movie star vibe and her natural makeup look just brings out her green eyes. Do we even have to talk about how flawless Kendall Jenner is? Because I think there are no words needed. Selena Gomez make up and high pony tails just brings out how beautiful her face is and I adore it.

Emma Roberts; Emma Stone; Jourdan Dunn; Kristen Stewart

Emma Roberts really stole the show with her dress in my other post, her makeup was also beautiful and I love her hair with the braids on the side, her purple eyeliner brought up her honey brown eyes. Emma Stone with dark hair looks as amazing as Emma with red hair, and everyone know I love dark makeup so I will be stealing that look. Jourdan Dunn’s hair was literally goals, love the nice ombre with black and grey. Lastly, Kristen Stewart make up, not only stuck with the theme but I always enjoy a dramatic eye look, plus love her hair.

February Favorites

Another month of 2016 has come to another, way too fast. I hope you enjoyed my little reflection from my last post, I’ve been planning it all month and I was so excited to post it. Other than those things that I’ve mentioned in my post, there are some things I’ve been enjoying  from make up to a TV show I watched when I was way too young to get it.

   1.    Mac Lipstick in MAC Red

I’ve been wanting a red lipstick for a while now but I never really dare to buy it because I did not know how it would look. When I tried this one after my dad gave it to me for my birthday I feel in love. I felt pretty Taylor Swift when I wore it, an effect that only MAC can give you to be honest.

  2.    Haute & Naughty Mac Mascara in black.

My makeup got stolen in December and I was really needing a new mascara since I kept stealing my mom’s, she owns this one and I loved it, so my dad got me this one as well. I’m so in love the way this mascara makes my eyelashes and I love how you have two wands so you can have either voluminous or define eyelashes.

  3.    Mac PowerPoint Eye Pencil in Engraved.

I love wearing eyeliner, I can’t go out to parties or clubs without it. But I always have trouble since by the end of the night you can see the eyeliner smear all over my face. However, this eyeliner is clumsy me proof.

  4.    Mac Matchmaster Concealer

It actually runs in my family to have bag under my eyes, that and the fact that I barely get any sleep, this is a lifesaver. My concealer also got stolen so I asked my sister for this one while she was on vacation and I love it. Not only the fact that is a bar is amazing but the way it works, just makes wonders. Also, they have so many different tones.

  5.    Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream

Although this one is a little bit darker than my usual tone I think it is amazing for the summer, where you might want to look a little bit tanner. I adore BB Creams, and after a friend told me to get Maybelline I begged my mom to try and find it while she was in the US. This one leaves your skin so hydrated and so smooth, it’s perfect to wear it all day.

  6.    Cath Kidston Overnight Pouch//Similar here

Not only the design is really cute but I love the size and shape of this one. I love how all my makeup fits there perfectly and whenever I have to travel or go somewhere I can just grab that and take it with me.

  7.    Spotlight

Every single second of this movie I was focused on the screen, and that is hard for someone like me. Maybe it was because I want to be a journalist and do this kind of work but I couldn’t turn my eyes away. This movie is genius (it did win the Oscar for best movie), I love how it shows you an issue that many people turn their head away from. This is a movie I highly recommend to watch for anyone, but really, if you want to be a journalist this is a must watch.

  8.    Blue Neighborhood by Troye Sivan

No surprise here, another Troye Sivan album out, and it is added to my favorites. I’ve been listening to this album none stop, I listen it while I’m working out, while I take the dog for a walk or when I’m studying, it is just an album to do anything. Last week he released his Youth music video and I loved every single second of it, because it is my favorite type of music video.

  9.    Gilmore Girls

Oh yes this is an old one. I remember my sister watching this when I was younger and now that is on Netflix I decided to watch it as well. It is one of those shows that every girl needs to watch, like Gossip Girl. Just amazing.

  10.                      Looking for Alaska by John Green

Lastly, this book. I read it when I was 16 and I really loved, and now reading it again four years later I just remember how great it is. It reminds me a lot of The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, so of course I’m a big fan. I simply adore the way John Green writes, everything he writes I feel in love. And I love the fact that is the 10^th Anniversary edition.

What have you been loving this month?

Nail Inspiration

Photo credit: Pinterest

I think I’ve been obsessed with painting my nails since I was thirteen and you can rarely see my plain nail because I always have nail polish on. Unfortunately, I suck at painting my nails even when its plain red, but whatever, I enjoy going into Pinterest and looking at the different nail work people do, hoping one day I could actually do it. Here a few which I picked.

What type of nail polish do you like?

                                                                       ***

Creo que estoy obsesionada con tener las uñas pintadas desde que tengo 13 y es muy raro que me vean mi uña sin esmalte arriba, porque siempre las tengo pintadas. Por desgracia, soy muy mala pintándome las uñas hasta cuando es algo normal, como rojo. Igualmente, me gusta ir a Pinterest y buscar los diferentes diseños que hacen las personas, desando que algún día pueda hacerlos. Acá hay algunos que elegí.

¿Qué tipo de esmalte de uña te gusta?

Eyebrows Goals

Photo credit: Pinterest

I think is funny I’m posting this today when just last Friday I went to a place where they do your eyebrows so professionally (Asuncion: Bar de Cejas, do go if you have the chance). I always had really thick eyebrows and I hated them growing up. As I got older, I realized I actually loved how thick they are, even though I have to take so much care of them, I love my eyebrows.

A lot of people wonder, why that small piece of hair above your eyes matter so much, but OH MY GOD THEY DO CHANGE BELIEVE (have you seen those pictures of celebritywithout eyebrows? Scary). My favorite eyebrows are bold ones like the ones above (Taylor should do her eyebrows like that every single day, just saying, Taylor). Maybe not anyone can pull them off or you can’t grow hair there, but if you do have them, embrace them and don’t feel ashamed (like I once did). Another advice: DON’T touch them, go to a professional first.

What eyebrows do you love? And what type of eyebrows do you have?

Es gracioso que este poniendo esto hoy cuando el Viernes pasado fui a un lugar donde te hacen las cejas profesionalmente (si estas o vivís en Asunción vayan al Bar de Cejas, increíble). Siempre tuvo cejas gruesas y las odiaba cuando era chiquita. Cuando crecí, me di cuenta que me gustaban así de gruesas, aunque tenga que cuidarlas demasiado, amo mis cejas.

Muchas personas se preguntan, porque un pedazo de pelo arriba de los ojos importar tanto, pero CREEME QUE CAMBIA (¿vieron esas fotos de famosos sin cejas? Miedo). Mis cejas favoritas son las gruesas como las de las fotos de arriba (Taylor tendría que tener las cejas así todos los días, solo digo Taylor). Capaz, no a todos les queden bien o no te crece el pelo ahí, pero si las tenes acéptalas y no sientas vergüenza (como yo hice una vez).  Otro consejo: NO toque las cejas, anda con un profesional primero.

¿Qué tipo de ceja te gusta? ¿Qué tipo de ceja tenes?
