Why you should use an eye shadow primer

Why you should use an eye shadow primer

6/19/2016

In order to have long lasting eye makeup for the whole day, there is nothing better better than an eye primer.

This is something I heard of until recently and I decided to buy the Shadow Insurance from Too Faced which is the primer that I found out has the best reviews in the market.

Since I´m new with the eye primer prep, I wanted to write a post with my experience and let you know what I have learnt from this product:

1.  This brand is quite pricey for the size of the product.  HOWEVER, I have learnt that just a tiny drop of primer can be applied to both eyelids, so I am pretty sure the tube will last a long time.

2.  It evens the skin color in the eyelid and the skin feel moisturized and soft to apply the eye shadow.

3.  It enhances the color of the shadows and makes the colors look more vibrant and better quality.

4. The primer helps the eye shadow last all day long without any smudges over the eyelids.  This is the best part.

Is an eye primer worth it? Yes, because it helps eye makeup last longer without having to retouch it during the day, making the color look richer and better quality.  Even though the primer is expensive, I know it will last a long time and you can save it for special occasions when you know you will have a busy day and no time to retouch your make up.

Until next time!

POR QUÉ DEBERÍAS USAR UN PRIMER PARA LOS OJOS

Para que las sombras de ojos duren todo el día, no hay nada mejor que un eye primer.

Esto es algo que escuché hasta hace poco y decidí comprarme el Shadow Insurance de Too Faced que es el que tiene una de las mejores reviews en el mercado.

Ya que soy nueva en este tema de los eye primer, quería contar mi experiencia con este nuevo producto:

1.  El precio es bastante alto para el tamaño del producto. SIN EMBARGO, he aprendido que solo se necesita un diminuta gota de primer para aplicarlo a ambos párpados, asi que estoy segura que me va a durar mucho tiempo.

2.  Nivela el tono de la piel del párpado y la piel queda más lisa y suave para las sombras.

3. Enriquece el color de las sombras y hace que los colores se vean más vibrantes y de mejor calidad.

4. El primer hace que las sombras duren todo el día sin que se corra y acumulen finas lineas de sombra en los párpados.

Vale la pena? Si, porque hace que el maquillaje dure muchísimo más tiempo, no se debe retocar durante el día y hace que los colores se vean más profundos y de mejor calidad.  Además, el tubo va a durar mucho tiempo, y se lo puede poner  uno en ocasiones en las que se sabe que va a ser un día muy agitado.

Hasta la próxima.

Book Review: Party Girl by Rachel Hollis

Book Review: Party Girl by Rachel Hollis

10/18/2015

I picked up this book because I wanted something fun and easy to read and this book is definitely both things. I like books that show women figuring out life, working hard for their dreams and succeed in accomplishing that. This book was both fun and inspiring, the main character, Landon Brinkley, a very relatable 20 something girl, is finding her way into the event planning world and ends up in Hollywood to work for a huge celebrity event planning firm where she'll find out that there is another side to the glamorous life we see from the outside. 

This book is part of The Girls series books, the next one is Party Girl's First Date and then Sweet Girl, which was out this year.

What also drawn me into reading Party Girl is that I follow the author on Instagram, her name is Rachel Hollis, and I love that she is very down to earth, always posting happy and inspiring things that make you want to keep fighting for your dreams.

Here's a little synopsis of the book ( Taken from Amazon ):

Landon Brinkley’s dreams are all coming true. She’s landed an internship with the fabulous Selah Smith, event planner for the Hollywood elite, taking her from small-town Texas to the bright lights of LA. Landon soon finds herself in a world in which spending a million dollars on an event—even a child’s birthday party—is de rigueur and the whims of celebrity clients are life-and-death matters. At first, the thrill of working on A-list parties and celebrity weddings is enough to get Landon through the seventy-five-hour workweeks and endless abuse at the hands of her mercurial boss. But when the reality of the business reveals itself, she’s forced to make a choice: do whatever it takes to get ahead, or stay true to herself.

Drawing on the author’s real-life experiences as an event planner to the stars, Party Girl takes readers on an adventure among Hollywood’s most beautiful—and most outrageous—people, revealing the ugly side of Hollywood’s prettiest parties.

I loved the book, if you want a light read that is fun and inspiring, this is the book for that.

Here's the link to get it from the Kindle Store.


Happy reading!
