Beauty Haul: Asian Cosmetics #1

Two thousand months ago (back in April / May, actually) I went on an on-line shopping spree for beauty products, and it all began with just a BB cream. I bought quite a few (at least for me they were a lot) products that's why I'm dividing the haul in two parts.

I never bought cosmetics or skin-care products myself, well maybe a few hand and face creams, and that's all; all the rest I own is thanks to people like my mum or godmother that gifted them to me; basically because I was not seeing how bad I was doing thinking that spending money on something that was going to run-out quite soon, was stupid. Yeah!, clothes are one thing, just like accessories, they last pretty much forever, but cosmetics and skincare products (especially the last ones) are ephemeral.
So, since I realized I was not that pretty without makeup on and without taking proper care of my skin it became dull, rough and full of clogged pores, I thought: Why not?
Now I'm an addict and ♪♪just can't get enough, I just can't get enough!♪♪ xD

Hace unos cuantos meses compré productos de belleza asiáticos en ebay como una desbocada, y pensar que todo comenzó por una BB cream, así que voy a dividir el haul en dos posts.

Es la primera vez que compro productos de belleza, básicamente porque gastar dinero en algo que se acaba rápido me parecía ridículo, hasta que me di cuenta que realmente mi piel lo necesitaba (y mucho!). Ahora soy una adicta y tengo una wishlist larguísima de productos que necesito y otros que quiero por capricho o curiosidad.


Baviphat Apple All-in-one peeling gel 100g. - Like the name says, it’s a peeling gel with the texture of grated apples, it totally cleans the pores and exfoliates the skin. It’s not rough at all, so you can use 2 times a week.  /  Tal y como su nombre lo indica es un gel exfoliante con la textura de una manzana rayada, limpia en profundidad los poros y exfolia la piel. No es agresivo con la piel, y podemos usarlo 2 veces por semana.
Seller: BELLO-GIRL
Price: 10.71€

Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream No.13 50ml. -  One of the most famous BB creams from Missha. It has a beige undertone and offers medium coverage which is totally buildable. It has a high SPF (SPF42 PA+++) and has wrinkle care and whitening properties.  /  Una de las BB creams mas famosas de Missha. Tiene un subtono beige con una cobertura media que es totalmente moldeable. Con alto factor de protección solar (SPF42 PA+++), iguala el tono de la piel y trata las arrugas.
Seller: BELLO-GIRL
Price: 15.42€ (by that time).

Etude House Dear My Blooming Lips-talk RD304 3.4g. - A lovely coral red lipstick very easy to apply, very smooth, sadly after half an hour on my lips it starts drying them a lot. It comes in 24 shades.  /  Un precioso labial rojo coral que es super suave de aplicar, lamentablemente luego de usarlo media hora me empieza a resecar los labios. Viene en 24 tonos.
Seller: Cosmetic.love
Price: 8.78€

Holika Holika Strawberry Pore Magic Cover Powder 10g. - Pink loose powders perfect to cover pores and mattify (a lot). With delicious soft strawberry yoghurt smell and an awesome SPF (SPF50+ PA+++).  /  Polvos sueltos rosados perfectos para cubrir los poros y matificar la piel (mucho). Con un delicioso y suave aroma a yogurt Danet de fresa.
Seller: BELLO-GIRL
Price: 14.65€

Tonymoly Egg Pore Black Head Out Oil Gel 30ml. - A soft peeling gel that gently purifies your skin thanks to the egg elements and “Magic Capsules”. It turns white after massaging a few minutes leaving the skin incredibly soft.  /  Un suave gel exfoliante que purifica la piel gracias a los elementos del huevo y las “Cápsulas Mágicas”. Se vuelve blanco luego de masajear la piel dejándola increíblemente suave.
Seller: BELLO-GIRL
Price: 11.56€ (now is cheaper >.<)

Holika Holika Holy Berry Tint No.02 Raspberry 13ml. - A lip tint with a yummy raspberry colour and smell, but with a horrible taste. Perfect to achieve the bitten lips look.  /  Un tinte labial con color y aroma a frambuesa, pero con un horrible sabor. Perfecto para lograr el look de labios mordidos.
Seller: RubyRuby76
Price: 5.94€ (by that time).

Baviphat Apple Jelly Lip Scrub 6g. - A lip scrub that gently exfoliates the lips. It has a strong and delicious smell and taste; I can’t relate it to green apples, though.  /  Es un suave exfoliante labial, que huele y sabe delicioso, aunque no los relaciono con manzanas verdes.
Seller: RubyRuby76
Price: 4.43€ (much cheaper then!)

Missha Under Eye Brightener Concealer Light Beige 6g. - A liquid brightener concealer that in my case brightens more than conceal thanks to my killer dark circles. There are two shades mine is the lightest (Light Beige) which is supposed to match the M Perfect Cover BB cream No.21, but it actually goes great with the No13, too!  /  Un corrector iluminador que en mi caso ilumina mas que corregir gracias a mis horribles ojeras. Hay dos tonos, este es el mas claro (Light Beige) que se supone va genial con la BB cream M Perfect Cover No21, pero también queda genial con la No13!
Seller: BELLO-GIRL
Price: 7.52€

Etude House Juicy Cocktail Gradation Nail No.03 Love Violet 4g.x 3 - A 3 steps nail polish in a lovely violet colour. There comes 3 little bottles, first one, the base in a very sheer lavender colour, second, the second one in a soft purple with glitter and the last one in a darker purple also with glitter. It doesn’t dry fast at all, and the fact that I give 7 coats in total doesn’t help much. The result is pretty cute, at least!  /  Laca de uñas en 3 pasos en un precioso color violeta. Vienen 3 botellitas, el primero, es la base de un color lavanda bastante traslúcido, el segundo es un violeta claro con glitter y el tercero es un violeta más oscuro también con glitter. No es de secado rápido, y el hecho de que en total me echo 7 capas no ayuda demasiado. Al menos el resultado es muy bonito!
Seller: RubyRuby76
Price: 9.25€



Most sellers on ebay give you free samples with the products you buy, they mostly give you 2 samples per item bought, but I wanted to say that the seller RubyRuby76 didn’t give me any at all, which I think is a very bad move, because when you buy in Korea you get tons of free samples, so it’s not like this seller doesn’t have any to give away.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

La mayoría de los vendedores de ebay te regalan muestras gratis, normalmente son dos muestras por producto comprado, pero quería aclarar que el vendedor RubyRuby76 no me envió ninguna, y me parece muy mal por parte del vendedor, ya que cuando compras en Corea te llenan de miles de muestras gratis, así que no es que este vendedor no tiene ninguna.

Click-Clack the Rattlebag by Neil Gaiman


So, with Halloween around the corner, every little detail is great for the occasion.
Two years ago, author, narrator, and screenwriter Neil Gaiman proposed that, every year for Halloween, people give each other scary books. So this time, him and Audible.com decided this year would offer a free downloadable short story for everyone. Is a 12 minutes tale called "Click-Clack the Rattlebag", and yes, you read right, FREE!
The best part about it is that Audible will donate $1 for every download through Halloween to the education charity DonorsChoose.org. (If you are in the UK, visit Audible.co.uk, where donations will go to the education charity BookTrust.)

So, go NOW and DOWNLOAD it, did I say it was free, and written and narrated by Neil Gaiman?

✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻

Halloween está a la vuelta de la esquina, y cualquier pequeño detalle es genial para la ocasión!
Hace 2 años Neil Gaiman propuso que cada año en Halloween, la gente se regalara libros de terror. Así que esta vez, él y Audible.com decidieron ofrecer una historia corta para descargar gratis. Es una historia de 12 minutos titulada "Click-Clack the Rattlebag", y sí, leyeron bien, GRATIS!
Lo mejor sobre este proyecto es que Audible donará 1$ por cada descarga hasta Halloween a DonorsChoose.org (Si están en el Reino Unido visiten Audible.co.uk, donde las donaciones irán a BookTrust).

Así que, vayan AHORA y DESCARGUENLO, dije ya que es gratis, y escrito y narrado por Neil Gaiman?
(La única pega puede ser que es inglés..., pero se le entiende perfectamente!)

Maps + Dresses = AWESOME

Fell in love with these map dresses, not only the shape, but also the map prints are divine! The truth is I've always been obsessed with old maps and wanted to be a cartographer for a while, hahahaha! Don't you think they are gorgeous?!

✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻

Me enamoré perdidamente de estos mapas vestidos, no solo el corte, también los diseños de los mapas son preciosos. La verdad es que siempre me han obsesionado los mapas antiguos y por un tiempo quise ser cartógrafa, jajajaja! No creen que son una maravilla?!

{ LOOKBOOK } Damn your love, damn your lies


♪♫ And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
♫♪

♪♫ The chain - Fleetwood Mac  ♫♪

Yes! I'm back; after what seemed a year 4 months I got my PC back, both PCs actually, and I couldn't be happier, because I didn't loose a damn thing, all my photos (the most important thing for me) are intact!
Anyway, just to update you all with my life, nothing really happened; I didn't went on vacations, on 30th August was my 32th b-day (yeah, that old!) and my son started the secondary school (which makes me feel even older...). And yeah, that's all that happened these past 4 months around my life xDDD

Sad is that I couldn't even take outfit photos due to lack of place to download them, so yeah, you'll have to deal with me wearing pastels until this spring autumn ends.

✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻ · ✻

Si! Estoy de vuelta; despues de lo que pareció un año 4 meses recuperé mis ordenadores, sí, los dos, y estoy super feliz porque no se perdió nada de ninguno de los dos, todas mis fotos están intactas!
No tengo mucho que contar de estos meses que estuve ausente, no me fui de vacaciones, el 30 de agosto fue mi cumpleaños nº 32 (viejísima!), y mi hijo empezó la secundaria/instituto (lo que me hace sentir incluso mas vieja...). Y eso es todo xDD

Lo triste es que no he podido hacer fotos de nada, ni de looks porque no tenía donde descargarlas y solo tengo una memoria para la cámara; así que van a tener que aguantarme con pasteles hasta que se temine esta primavera otoño.
