♡ Movie Of The Week: Upside Down ♡

Hi guys,

I'm so excited to finally announce my new series that I'm starting on my blog called movie of the week. I've had this idea for so long now and I just decided to finally pursue it. It's no secret that I am in love with movies and that I've seen so many movies. So I'm making this series where each week I'll talk about a different movie, if it's good or not and all that. I'll also rate the movie. Welcome to my first post of my series! Hope y'all enjoy!

Directed by: Juan Solanas
Starring: Kirsten Dunst. Jim Sturgess, Timothy Spall, Blu Mankuma, and many more.
Click here for the trailer

In a nutshell, this movie is about two different worlds with two different gravities; in the upper world live the rich people and in the lower, the poor people. It tells the story of a controlling government that doesn't allow contact in between social classes. The two main characters, Adam and Eden fall in love. As you can probably guess, it gets a bit tricky. But the movie tells the story of this romance between people from two different worlds.  I won't say any more or else I might spoil it.

First, let's talk about the special effects, which are amazing. It seems so difficult to put together a movie like this but they certainly pulled it off. The scenery gave the whole 'controlling modern society' vibe without copying the whole 'Big Brother' idea from 1984. 

The acting was also amazing, I might be biased though. Kirsten Dunst is one of my favorite actresses ever and this movie definitely reenforces my opinion. Jim Sturgess was amazing as always. Timothy Spall also did a fantastic job, I loved his character as well.

The whole concept of the movie was amazing but I do think that there were a few aspects that needed to go more in depth because a lot of it was very superficial. For example, we know everything about Adam's (Sturgess) life but close to nothing about Eden's (Dunst). I don't know, I just expected more out of this film. But I'm a romantic and I loved the idea of a love so strong that it could 'break' gravity.

It did remind me quite a bit of City of Ember, which was a great movie. Both of them talk about this sort of modern government that controls its' individuals. 

Imagine watching this movie with a projector like the one they use in planetariums!


★★★☆☆ 3.5 out of 5 stars

♡ Get The Look: Lea Michele Teen Choice Awards ♡

Hi guys,

It's been a while since I've done a get the look post and it's because I do so many of these. But after seeing the Teen Choice Awards, I knew I had to make a few more. Today's post is dedicated to one of the most inspiring people out there, Lea Michele. Her acceptance speech was absolutely beautiful and I definitely cried. If you missed her speech then check it out here.

http://www.diariofemenino.com/

Outfit
-Lea is wearing a textured pink dress with two different shades. Instead of going with a dress I chose a shirt and a skirt. For the skirt I picked out the Short Gore Skirt in Berry from American Apparel that costs $48.00. It's actually a pretty good price considering the fact that the skirt is 100% silk. Also for 15% off your first purchase sign up for their mailing list!
-For the shirt I just picked out something simple, the 2X1 Racerback Cropped Tank in Light Pink from American Apparel that costs $22.00
-For the bracelet you can just pair it with any silver bracelet you own.

♡ NEW: Marc Jacobs Beauty Line ♡

Hi guys,

I have very exciting news for you guys today! I've never told you guys this before but I have a slight obsession with a certain fashion designer... Marc Jacobs. I'm in love with his work and personally think that he's one of the best designers out there. One of the best days in my life was definitely when i visited his store in New York. His stuff is pretty expensive so most of the time I just like to look at it rather than buy it but you know, admiring from a distance is cool too! Anyways, I was so excited when I found out that he was launching his new beauty line that came out this month. So excited that I had to share with y'all. Unfortunately, this line isn't available yet where I live so I have to wait a little to buy it. This line is available at Sephora, online and in stores! Let's get started!

sephora.com

Style Icon No. 3- Plush Eyeshadow
There are five different palettes: The Ingenue, The Punk, The Rebel, The Shoe Gazer, The Mod and The Glam. Each one costs $42.00.

The Shoe Gazer

Style Icon No. 7- Plush Eyeshadow
There are four different palettes: The Lolita, The Vamp, The Tease and The Starlet. The Lolita has very neutral colors. The Vamp has darker colors that I would personally use for a night look. The Tease has different shades of purples and pinks. The Starlet has very earthy tones, that are gorgeous. Each palette costs $59.00! Here's the pictures of each palette. I'm probably getting The Vamp palette since I have billions of neutral palettes like The Lolita.

beautifulwithbrains.com

From top to bottom: The Tease, The Starlet, The Lolita, The Vamp.

O! Mega Bronze
There's only one bronzer that came out and it's in the shade Tantric. It appears to be a matte bronzer which I really like. It costs $49.00 which is pretty pricey compared to Benefit Hoola Bronzer ($28.00) but it does have more product than Hoola.

marcjacobs.com

Remedy Concealer Pen
There are 8 different shades of this concealer pen. I love concealer pens because they're very handy. I'm probably not going to be purchasing this because I want to buy the YSL one. This is priced at $39.00.

earthlingorgeous.com

Enamored Hi-Shine Nail Lacquer
These nail polishes come in 23 different colors! Each one is priced at $18.00!

futilidadesdanatalia.wordpress.com

Lip glosses: Lust For Lacquer Lip Vinyl: Sheer & Lust For Lacquer Lip Vinyl: Full 
I've heard good things about these lip glosses and I can't wait to try them out! Each one is priced at $28.00 which is the same price as most high end lip glosses! The full glosses come in 5 different shades and the sheer glosses come in 5 as well. I'm loving the shade Heart Shaped!
Sheer (top)

LoveMarc Lip Gel
I love trying out new lipstick and definitely want to try this one out. It comes in 15 different colors, and I'm most excited about Neo Noir which is deep red. Each lipstick is priced at $30.00

earthlingorgeous.com

Magic Marc'er Precision Pen
I'm also very excited about this product. It's basically a liquid liner. I have to say I love the name of this product Marc'er like a marker but with Marc in the middle.. Get it? Haha. So far only one shade has been released a black in the name Blacquer. This is priced at $30.00.

shefinds.com

Highliner- Gel Crayon
The gel crayons are priced at $25.00 each and they come in 5 different colors! Here are three colors!

beautyeditor.ca

Top to bottom: Ro (Cocoa), Jazz (Berry) and Intro (Vert). They are also available in Blacquer and N (Ice). Blacquer is black and N (Ice) is just a shimmery white color!

Genius Gel Super Charged Foundation
Super excited about this foundation! It comes in 15 different shades and is priced at $48.00! They have a very nice range of colors, it stretches from a very light color a light ivory to a dark cocoa shade.

sephora.com

Lash Lifter- Gel Volume Mascara
This mascara is priced at $26.00 making it more expensive than the Benefit They're Real. I hope it can compare to the Benefit They're Real. This is available in the shade Blacquer which is black.

sephora.com

Shameless Bold Blush
There are 8 different shades of this blush and it appears to be a powder blush rather than a cream which some people were disappointed by. I prefer powder blushes so I'm excited about this. Each blush costs $30.00

futilidadesdanatalia.wordpress.com

Lip Lock Moisture Balm
This product is basically a lip balm. It's priced at $24.00 which I find very expensive due to the fact that I could basically buy 8 Baby Lips with that much money. But if it's a good product, which I hope it is, then it'll be worth it.

sephora.com

Perfection Powder- Feather weight foundation
This powder has 9 different shades and it's $46.00 each! I find it a bit expensive for a powder but you know!

sephora.com

Brow Tamer Grooming Gel
This is priced at $24.00 and it's a clear color.

sephora.com

Brushes

futilidadesdanatalia.wordpress.com

From left to right: Sculpting Foundation Brush ($48.00), Angled Blush Brush ($38.00), Bronzer Brush ($78.00) and Liquid Foundation Brush ($48.00)

Overall, I do think the line is a bit overpriced for their first EVER make up line due to the fact that it's more expensive than MAC. But I understand that they could lose status if they charged less. Some products are the same price as Dior make up which is VERY expensive. I'm going to wait till I see a few more reviews to invest in these products. However, I do think that they have a really nice variety of colors and products for their first line. There's a lot of make up companies who start off with only one shade of lipstick or something like that so this is really nice and I have to point it out! Congratulations to them!

Hope you guys enjoyed this post, bye!



What do you think of the line? Are you excited? Are you going to be purchasing anything?

♡ Back To School: First Day Of School Outfits ♡

Hi guys,

This is another post in my back to school series and it's some suggestions on what to wear on your first day back to school. I picked some very comfortable outfits that you can just throw together! Let's get started!

Shirt- Etsy

Cardigan- Alloy Aparrel 

Jeans- H&M

Sandals- Guess

This is the outfit I would probably wear on my first day of school! It's so comfortable and I would rather wear jeans than shorts to school so some cropped boyfriend jeans are perfect to me. It's quite windy when I leave for school so a nice cardigan to go along with it is kind of a must have. But to still give it a summer-y feel I paired the outfit up with some sandals.

Skirt-New Look
Shirt-H&M
Belt-Pac Sun
Sandals-Target
If you're looking for something girlier and preppier then this is the outfit for you. A white v neck paired with a printed skirt, a belt to synch your waist and sandals to tie the look! If it's windy you can just add a cardigan or a light jacket of some sort!

Denim jacket- Top Shop

Floral tank- Pull & Bear

Leggings- The Hut

Shoes- Converse

This fourth outfit is very casual and can easily be put together! It's very simple but the floral pattern tank adds a touch of fun to your outfit! This outfit is also very comfortable...

Hope you guys enjoyed this post!

♡ Back To School: My Guide To High School ♡

Hi guys,

I am by no means a master in high school but I've been it for a while now... I'm a junior which means I've been in high school for three years! I was so nervous when I was first starting so I'm going to give you guys my tips for high school!

Let me start off by saying that I am one of those people who do not like school and even the sound of the word school during vacation makes me scared. High school sucks but so does every other school :)

wehearit.com

1. High school is not like the movies. You see all those movies where there's the group of popular girls who make fun of everyone else and every guy loves them... Well, that's not really true, no one cares too much about popular people and no one really bothers making fun of each other. I think we're all too insecure about ourselves to do that. No one is going to throw you in the trash can or slam you into a locker.

2. Focus on school. I'm serious, you might want to focus on your social life but remember you're going to college soon and you need those grades. And, you don't want to cram all your studying during final studying. Study beforehand but also enjoy high school. 

3. Don't take it too seriously. Seriously.... Most of the people in my school dress up during the first week but then as the year passes, we all just wear sweatpants and messy buns pretty much every day. 

4. Don't do anything you're not ready to do. You're going to have so many new opportunities that you never had during junior high and some of them you'll feel like you have to do it to fit in but guess what? You don't. I'll say it once again so y'all can understand this loud and clear... No one cares.

5. Value your sleep. Story time! During my freshman year I had a boyfriend who I would literally talk to on the phone all night long. Literally from five in the afternoon to five in the morning. And when I didn't sleep at home I'd sleep in class. Which is not good, trust me. The relationship didn't even work out in the end. Which brings me to my next point.

6. Boys. Not all boys are the same, if you disagree then you only go for a particular type of guy. Yes, you're going to meet plenty of assholes but you're also going to meet nice guys. So hang on to those. You're probably going to fall in love once or twice but remember that grades are important too! If you want to have flings then by all means have flings. If you're in a relationship then be in a relationship!

7. Be yourself. High school is a HUGE place, you will certainly find a group of friends who you can truly be yourself around. Don't be afraid to talk to new people, you might meet your best friend in high school!

weheartit.com

8. You're going to have a lot of freedom. But with that freedom comes so much responsibility. Manage your time wisely.

9. This one might sound a little movie-ish but it's true. If you're a freshman, upperclassmen will usually try to harass you. They don't do it to be mean, it's just sort of a tradition. I suffered my share of freshman hazing but I'm fine so don't even worry about it! 

10. Peer pressure. While you're in junior high you have health class and all the teachers are like 'people are going to force you to drink and use drugs and blah blah', this is not true at all. Once again, no one cares. In fact, most people look down on people who do engage in that sort of behavior frequently.

11. Make good impressions on teacher, it will really help you in parent teacher conferences.

12. Parties. High school parties are crazy compared to middle school but they're nothing compared to college parties. High school parties usually get broken up easily, due to either the music being too loud or underage drinking. But for the most part, parties are pretty fun and you will meet so many new people.

13. People do change and it's usually for the best. Oh yeah, you will change as well.

14. Enjoy. Honestly, high school flies by. There are going to be times where you hate everything and there are going to be times where you love it but either way just remember that high school is just a temporary straight. Working hard and being yourself is basically key to success.

Here's an accurate representation of what your high school years will be like.
