Lilac & the Sunday Blues

From the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep I have a horrible feeling that Monday is coming. Does this happen to you? What better way to brighten up a gloomy cold Sunday than with a blog post about a beautiful nail combination!?

Ladies and Gentlemen, today I've got Sally Hansen's "Lacey Lilac" and "Pet My Peacock" from Spoiled. I've used Pet my Peacock before on top of a lovely blue color from Essie, which you can see here.

I had been wanting Essie's Lilacism however, I really wasn't willing to pay the $7-$8 for it. Especially after finding this dupe beaut!

 -----------------------------------------

Del momento que me despierto hasta cuando me voy a dormir tengo un sentimiento terrible que ya viene Lunes! No me gustan los Domingos por esto! Les pasa a ustedes? Yo estaba pensando, que forma mejor de alegrar este Domingo triste que escribir un post sobre una combinacion de esmaltes que me encanta!

Damas y caballeros hoy les presento "Lacey Lilac" de Sally Hansen y"Pet My Peacock" de Spoiled. Ya he usado este esmalte de Spoiled encima de un esmalte azul de Essie que pueden ver aca.

Hace años que quiero Lilacism de Essie pero la verdad esq no quiero pagar $7-$8. Especialmente despues de encontrarme este esmalte super parecido!

 

Spoiled "Pet My Peacock"- Applying this polish does not cause my hassle. It contains teal green, blue, lavender, and silver hexagonal glitters in a clear base. Perfect for layering atop any nail color of your choice. --- La applicacion de este esmalte no es dificil. Contiene brillitos azules, turquesas, moradas, y color plata. Es perfecto para poner encima de cualquier esmalte.

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Lacey Lilac"- This polish is a thick, creamy, fairly opaque polish which takes two coats for full coverage. It is actually much lighter than appears in my photos. I will try to update these when I use this polish again.  --- Este esmalte es grueso, cremoso, y bastante opaco. Con dos capas es suficiente. En realidad el color es un poco mas claro de lo que aparece en mis fotos. Voy a tratar de subir fotos nuevas de este esmalte cuando lo vuelva a usar.

And here is a photo of mischievious Mr. Frankie who LOVES yogurt but I am forbidden from sharing with him :( 

We hope you have a happy day!

Mister Frankie le fascina el yogurt! Pero me prohibieron darle :( 

Los dos esperamos que tengan un dia muy feliz!

Summer Red Lip and Polka Dots

The end of my first real summer is coming to a close. I live in Indiana for most of the year for university and it is getting chilly! The leaves are falling and the wind is crisp! I love and hate the cold. I love the autumn holidays, the incredible multi-colour leaves, the lovely smells (cinnamon, pumpkin, spices, sweet vanilla!). Basically, I'm a cliche girl who enjoys fall jajaja

Anyways, before I go on and on about Fall. This was an interesting summer where I took a god-awful six week statistics course. Of course I needed a beautiful red lipstick when I got the Sunday blues about going back to class!

I used a combination of MAC's Viva Glam I and Rimmel's Exaggerate Lip Liner in Diva Red (024).
Viva Glam I is a beautiful dark brick red. But I don't feel like it has a lot of brown in it though, it's mostly just a more intense, deeper red. I really prefer this color to MAC's Russian Red (don't kill me!) because Russian Red is a bit brighter. It looks amazing on everyone! I just don't feel like it suits me well :( The Rimmel Lip Liner is a brighter pink-tinged cherry red. It's not an exact match but I just picked it out really quickly and I wasn't bothered by matching it exactly (but maybe this part is more important than I think it is) and it was cheap so hey! Why the heck not!

 

I decided to wear this Polka Dot dress from F21 that my father and stepmom got me. I really like how simple and classy it is! Sorry about the wind and the seat belt! Safety first jajaja

I wore this combo the other day at my University the other Saturday. I was initially intimidated but it was a simple day studying with my two good friends so I decided to give it a whirl! Do you ever feel intimidated to wear such a bold lip color around school/friends/people you know?

Mr. Hobo hopes you all have a great week!

Pink Jelly & Glitter Nails

I created this simple manicure with Zoya’s “Bela” and “Tazmanian Devil” from Confetti which you can most likely get at a CVS.

“Bela” is fairly sheer but it is a beautiful baby pink color. I was initially going to make a “Jelly Glitter Sandwich” by inserting a layer of glitter between coats of Bela but I decided that it made the glitter way too dull. Here’s an example of what it would have looked like,

 

This is what I ended up with, 

 

 

 And here is a photos of our adorable (pain in the ass kitten) Mister Frankie. Such a hilarious weirdo.

 Have a wonderful weekend!

Sheer Red Lip Friday! - Nivea Fruity Shine Cereza

I have got to be up for work and class in 6 hours! But I wanted to make a quick post before bed. I have recently been super interested in sheer red lip products. I think they look so beautiful, especially now that winter is coming.

Here I have a sheer red lip balm from Nivea which I got in Argentina last summer. Now, it is in Spanish but I know that the same one is sold in the U.S. When I have time I will find the name in English and edit it into this post!

I LOVE this lip balm. When I was growing up in Bolivia I had one for YEARS and I would barely ever use it because I felt that it was too pigmented (I was only 11-16 years old. Now I feel like I really have to load it on to get coverage but it is a great product. It has EXTREMELY small silver glitters that are barely noticeable but add shine.

• Moisturizing
• Beautiful Color
• Sheer!
• Smell is not overwhelming
• Cheap 
• Natural-Looking

Well, I'm off to sleep! Have a great day/night/etc!
