♡ Back To School: After PE Essentials ♡

Hi guys,

After coming out of phy ed you're probably going to be sweaty and your make up will run and I made this post to help you guys look amazing after phy ed! If you have a gym locker like I do at my school then these are some things you should keep inside and if you don't have one then just carry it in your school bag! Let's get started!

-Finishing Powder is great for when your skin looks a little greasy just apply a little bit using a brush and you're good to go!
-Mascara to touch up!
-Bobby pins, just in case... What if after P.E your hair just doesn't want to cooperate?
-Batiste Dry Shampoo, get this in a travel size! If your hair is looking a little down and needs some volume just use this!
-Make up removing wipes, get this in a travel size as well. This is to take off that runny mascara from under your eyes!
-Deodorant, for obvious reasons. Get this in a travel size as well!
-Hair brush or comb. Just to remove all those knots!

Hope you guys enjoyed this post! Bye!

♡ 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

Hope you guys enjoyed this post and look out for a post like this every week!

August has been such a busy month for me and I'm glad it's finally coming to an end. I have  a few favorites for this month both beauty and non beauty! So any who let's get started!


Beauty
-Silky Sexy Hair Frizz Eliminator- For some reason my hair has been very frizzy this month and this product has saved my life. It makes my hair presentable and one pump goes a long way.

-Joico Body Luxe Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner. These products make my hair look so healthy! It also has a very nice smell! There's not much to say about this product except that I like it!


Non Beauty
-Ok so this is no surprise to anyone but I have a TV show of the month... this month's TV show is White Collar. It's amazing. Matt Bomer is extremely attractive and is also such a talented actor. The show is perfect, just check it out. You won't regret it.

-I have two movie favorites and you should check out both of them... just click on the title for the trailer. Something Borrowed and Sweet Home Alabama.
-This month I've really been liking coconut water. You can get it at your local supermarket! It's so sweet and it's also really good for you.
-Hershey's Cookie'n'Creme, I'm not a big fan of white chocolate but this is absolutely amazing. Seriously, go out and buy this right now.

♡ 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.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any pictures of her close enough to see her make up so I won't be remaking it! I'm sorry!

♡ 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 Rebel

The Punk

The Ingenue

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!

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!
