The one where I use D for danger and Chili for spring!
18 March 2017
I love dark
lips! I love the idea of a simple outfit with beautiful glowing skin and that
pop of color on your lips, whether it’s a red, a fuchsia pink or maybe a bright
orange if you feel adventurous ... Doesn’t really matter! Whatever suits your
mood. It makes such a statement and it makes your entire look so sophisticated
without even trying too hard.
Also,
because my lips are more on the thin side, it’s such an opportunity to cheat a
bit and make them look fuller for the day. Great! right?
So now that
it’s spring, well it’s starting to feel like spring a tiny little bit, I usually
say goodbye to some of my beloved dark lipsticks because I don’t really think
their colors compliment the good weather.
Here I show
you two of my favorite fall lipsticks in my collection, D for danger (here) and Chili
(here) from MAC Cosmetics, and how do I make them work for me for spring!
So
basically, what I do is I just put on my lipstick like I would usually do,
over-lining and all, and then I use a cotton pad to blot it down and calm it,
then I just use my finger to work it into my lips and you end up with a
beautiful ‘stain’ on your lips. And the cool thing about it is that you can
sheer it down to the max or built it up a bit more to your liking.
D for danger (here) is an edgy berry lipstick, but it
does look quite vampy which is “cool” for the cooler months; it’s just not
really my cup of tea for spring and summer. When blotted down, it leaves you
with the most beautiful pink berry stain.
Chili (here) on
the other hand is a warm red, has the same texture as D for danger: matte, it
is one of those rusty brick-orange reds that makes you think of autumn leaves. Blotted
down, it leaves you with a reddish peachy stain.
If you did
make it to the end of this post, I salute you! Thank you for stopping by and I
hope this was helpful.
The one with the perfect nude
3 March 2017
The Charlotte
Tilbury one on its own washes me out, it literally blends my lips into my skin, and the MAC one is more on the browny side, so it’s not really a nude for me.
But when I put
them together, on top of Charlotte Tilbury's lip linear in Pillow Talk (here),
they are just WOW. But I’m pretty sure that the two of them are beautiful on their own for a different
skin tone.
And it
helps that they are so close when it comes to texture, both very
creamy and smooth, although I must say that Pillow Talk is so much creamier, it’s
like butter.
Okay confession time, today was a very windy day and it was raining too. So, this morning, I stepped outside in the terrace to take a couple of selfies for this post, okay not a couple, a few.. a lot! and you know the struggle of long hair and creamy lipstick on a windy day.
Long story short: i have lipstick on my upper lip, on my cheek and I don’t know how to edit these stuff away just yet, so please don’t mind it.. It happens.. No big deal.. Right? Aaaand also don’t mind my huge pimple friend who decided to show up, unannounced! I couldn’t say no, could I? That’s why I cropped the hell out of my poor forehead (wink wink).
Anyway, I hope this was helpful for some of you who are still struggling to find the perfect nude.
The one with all the colors

After our beautiful engagement party, and since my fiancé had to take a plane back home not long after, we thought it will be a great idea to spend the day in the beautiful Asilah. It’s just an hour away from where I live so it was quite a quick and smooth ride to there and back.
I paired my beloved Mango blush pink jumper with my new olive Zara coat and I threw in some black skinny jeans and booties.
The olive on top of the blush pink gave it a vibe that went well with the colorful Mediterranean-influenced houses and vivid art scenes in the pedestrian medina.
