This is a TotalBeauty.com makeup tips article We may have taken advantage of a red light or two to apply our mascara on our way to work. Don't judge -- you know you've done it too. And while we're not advocating such a dangerous habit, we acknowledge that life gets busy and you may not have enough time in the morning to perfect your winged tip. That's why we've come up with these four hot looks that are so easy, you can pull them off in five minutes flat (preferably with the gearshift in park). Get looks

Nails: Bettina's Vintage Jeans and Revlon's Blue Mosaic

Bettina's Vintage Jeans and Revlon's Blue Mosaic

I just love these two colors. The Bettina one reminds me of candy and fun things and Revlon's Blue Mosaic...wow, LOVE IT. It has hexagonal blue and green glitter. Looks great over Vintage Jeans.

++I would like to mention, I took these pics today but I painted my nails on Thursday. They haven't chipped yet and still look shiny. To me, the Seche Clear Base and the Vite Top Coat are simply AMAZING. ++

Drugstore lippies: Revlon Matte and Wet-n-Wild L/S

I bought these three l/s at Walmart the other day. Lately I've been looking for matte lippies because most of the times they are very pigmented. Most of the time.

The shades I got (from left to right): 

Revlon 011-Stormy Pink, Revlon013-Smoked Peach and
Wet-n-Wild Mega Last L/S in #901B-Think Pink (semi-matte finish)

Revlon 011-Stormy Pink, Revlon013-Smoked Peach and Wet-n-Wild #901B

 

REVLON's Stormy Pink

I love the shade, yes it clashes with my warm skintone but that's the contrast I was lookin' for. What I did not like was that I had to swipe it on my lips like ten times to get the desired intensity. Don't know if something is wrong with the lippie. It was sealed when I bought it...

Pic with flash (Woah!) ... lol

ETA: Just saw this video on YouTube. See what I mean?

REVLON's Smoked Peach

This one is very pigmented and looks very natural on me. Nothing out of this world when worn alone, but looks very pretty with gloss.

Wet-n-Wild Mega Last L/S in #901B-Think Pink (semi-matte finish)

Love this l/s! This shade looks very...retro? on me but at the same time makes me look very bronzed. It does comes out loking way too shocking in flash pics, but it looks really cool in non-flash photos. Of the three l/s I bought, this one impressed me the most. Super pigmented, felt creamier than the Revlon ones and lasts for hours (it is semi-matte after all). I think WnW claim 4 hrs, I'd say 3 but that's okay. At least they don't claim 8hrs or something like that.

About my hair and makeup...well, I took this pic about 7hrs after putting on my makeup and styling my hair so...yeah. Whatever, I look gorgeous, hahaha.

LOOK: Thick, Heavy E/L with Pink Lips

Yesterday I went to my niece's birthday party and also to a stand-up comedy show by Raymond Arrieta (one of Puerto Rico's best comedians--Raymond, te la comiste!!!). So I decided to wear a bit of color in my makeup to liven up my black, gray and white outfit.

This look was inspired by a beautiful and vivacious blogger, Camila from Super Vaidosa. Seriously, check out her blog and very helpful videos. I've seen many of her looks and noticed that her eyeliner is always on what I consider the heavy, thick side. Also, she chooses to wear bright or beautiful nude lipsticks most of the time. I love it.

++I also want to mention that with the help of the Philosophy Primer, EL DW Makeup, the NARS eyeprimer and the Skindinavia Spray my makeup stayed flawless for more than 8 hrs. I mean, when I got home around midnight I thought it was a shame to take off my makeup because it still looked great.  =)

Nails: Sally Hansen's Fearles Fog & Revlon's Plum Night

Sally Hansen's Fearless Fog (purple-ish gray) and Revlon's Plum Night (very dark plum)

Both colors are so beautiful and complement each other. I was going to do a french manicure but was too tired...so I applied Plum Night in one finger because I'm such a rebel, LOL  ^__^  

I've just applied and massaged my Sally Hansen's Vitamin E Oil for my cuticles. So good, but careful, just a little drop is needed in each nail. More than that and it can get really messy. I alternate between this oil and the Vaseline Petroleum Jelly.

Hasta luego!
