Plum Dandy Lipstick Swatch

Hello! Today I will show you all MAC's lipstick in "Plum Dandy". I originally got this because I was dying to buy MAC's "oh oh oh" when I saw a swatch online but had been a limited edition product. (It was re-promoted in the Archie Collection!). I know Plum Dandy is a much more purple-toned-pink and not as reddish as oh oh oh but I really liked the color!

Hola! Hoy les quiero mostrar un pintalabios/rouge/labial (como sea que lo llamen!) Se llama "Plum Dandy" y originalmente me lo compre porq me moria por comprarme "oh oh oh" de MAC cuando vi un swatch online pero resulta que era edicion limitada. (Por suerte lo pusieron a la venta otra vez con la Coleccion de Archie!) Plum Dandy no es tan rojizo como oh oh oh pero igual me encanta el color!

 PROS:
  • Not too frosty where you'll look like a cheap Pamela Anderson out of the 90s.
  • Vanilla Scent
  • Sheer but buidable
CONS:
  • Not very smooth
  • Not moisturizing
There isn't a whole lot to say when it comes to the quality of this lipstick, it isn't meant to be moisturizing. However, it also doesn't really dry them out. I would suggest making sure you don't have flaky skin on your lips because this lipstick will enhance it.
 PROS:
  • No tiene mucho "Frost" que vas a parecer una Pamela Anderson barata de los 90.
  • Olor a vainilla
  • No es super pigmentado pero se puede repasar
CONS:
  • No se siente super suave
  • No hidrata los labios
La verdad esq este labial es bastante basico y super lindo. No fue creado para hidratar los labios asi que no tengo quejas! No te los seca un monton tampoco pero si lo vas a usar asegurate de que no tengas pedazitos de piel muerta porq sino se resaltan. 

--- One swipe creates a beautiful metallic rosy/purple colour.

--- Con una pasada queda un color hermoso medio rosadito/morado metalico.
--- With several swipes you can really intensify the purple tones and the metallic.

--- Con varias pasadas se intensifica el tono morado y tambien lo metalico.


I took this photo back in the fall. Currently there is a ton of beautiful snow! I love to walk in the snow! Have a great night/day/etc.

Saque esta foto cuando era otoño. Ahora hay un monton de nieve super linda! Me encanta caminar en la nieve. Espero que tengan un buen dia/noche/etc.

MAC's Creme in Your Coffee Swatch

Hello everyone! I've taken an unexpected hiatus from blogging due to the demands made from my wonderful statistics class... *cue vomit* 
Although I appreciate the education, am learning tons and getting the course out of the way, I don't expect I will ever take to math. 

Anyways, this week I was in San Francisco with my father and stepmother and we had a great time! I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to visit such a lovely city. 
While there I got MAC's rosy brown MLBB lipstick "Creme in Your Coffee". I had been wanting this color for ages but I couldn't justify it's simplicity. Especially because I own MAC's "Syrup" and I felt it was too similar (judging off online swatches). However, Syrup is truly more of a plummy mauve on me. 




This lipstick is a cremesheen finish. It's not overly drying but I do like to use it with a lip balm under it to give a more glossy finish. 
Overall, I really enjoy this lipstick and I'm looking forward to wearing it more often in the fall when my skin gets paler.

Sheer Snapdragon Swatch & NOTD!

Hello! It's been forever since I've posted because I've just been lazying around before my summer statistics class begins *insert pukey face*.

Anyways! I've got a beautiful buttery lipstick swatch and review that I promised in my previous awkward post here and a nail of the day today. The lipstick is "Sheer Snapdragon" from Flower which is sold only at Walmart if I'm not mistaken. The lipstick smells divine and I can't describe it but I love it! However, the smell might not be to everyone's liking so beware that it does smell (wonderful)!
The color is an orangey-red with very small golden glitters that are barely noticeable but add to the color. It also feels very moisturizing and smooth. The only complaint that I have is the packaging. I don't think there's anything wrong with it aesthetically, but the cap thingy came off and the plastic part sort of crackled like cheap plastic does :( It's been increasingly hard to close it again once I've opened it but I can deal with that :)

Hola! Hace mucho tiempo que no pongo nada nuevo porq he estado flojeando y vageando antes de que empieze mi clase de estatisticas este verano, buaj que asco :(

Hoy tengo un rouge para mostrarles que prometi en este post y el esmalte (s) del dia! El rouge se llama "Sheer Snapdragon" de Flower que solamente se vende en Walmart si no me equivoco. Huele riquisimo! No puedo describirlo pero me encanta como huele! Quiza no les guste el olor asi que ojo que tiene olor! (Pero uff es riquisimo!)
El color es un anaranjado-rojizo con brillitos dorados super chiquitos que no se notan casi nada pero definitivamente agregan al color. Se siente muy suave y hidratante. Lo unico que no me gusta es el "embalaje?" (no se si esa es la palabra equivocada). Pero el plastico de la capa se despego y el otro plastico esta como medio partido :( Cada vez que trato de cerrarlo se me hace una joda pero no me molesta mucho :)



The problem...
El problema...

The cracked plastic...
El plastico medio partido...

Swatched lightly and heavily.
