PAPER, SCISSOR & GLUE

Yep! That's me wearing a so called "pink maxi dress".
Reminiscing my childhood, I remember to be 3 years when I first discover the world of fashion and art! This discovery was made due to a channel called ´Euronews´ which my father had as his background sound every morning before work.  I remember one day watching the 10 min culture (within the news) and became obsessed! 

Comprehending what the narrator spoke about was not exactly a priority as a toddler, but what I recall from those memories are my overly enthusiasm and excitement. All of a sudden I became fascinating with paintings, sculptures, clothes and the high couture garments they showcased.

From that day I started creating pieces with my mother's clothes and her old curtains (which I must say my mother was not thrilled of). When I didn't cut old garments, I let my imagination take its action, hence created several items with paper, colours and glue!  Everything from robots, clocks, sculptures, bags, boats, cars... you name it.
Even though these "masterpieces" didn't quite look as flattering to others eyes, It was still creations that I was proud of. 

And then the teenage years hit me... I started to get busy which meant taking shortcuts, moreover didn't bother to waste time. So stead of creating, purchasing was made. 

I don't want to make this post too long but I guess what I'm trying to say is this:
Whenever I feel uninspired or a downer, I need to remind myself of who I am. I need to wake up my inner childhood; little Sahara who thought she could create everything with the magic of paper, scissor & glue!
Never let my creativeness fade into oblivion. Never forget that...

THE LACE BRA

One of my favourite item this month is the sexy little lace bra! I just love how sophisticated yet super comfortable they are. They are so light that you don't feel like you're wearing any, yet gives you the necessary support. Perfect for women who think bras are kinda uncomfortable and prefer not wear any whenever they have a chance. Like myself. Wear it over a white t-shirt or those oversized "festival sleeveless tees" to show a little bit of skin & lace.

Una de mi favorita prendas de vestir este mes es el sexy brasier de encaje! Me encanta que sé ven sofisticado y al mismo tiempo lo cómoda que son. Son muy ligeros que sientes que no llevas un brasier pero al mismo tiempo te da el apoyo necesario.
Son perfectos para las mujeres que piensan que brasieres son un poco incómodos y prefieren no usarlos cada vez que tienen la oportunidad. Como yo! Llévalo sobre un t-shirt blanca o aquellos tops sin armas para exponer un poco de piel y de la maravillosa encaje!

Suerte!

HIGHLIGHT & BRONZER

Summer is here meaning that we go light on clothes, food and especially makeup. Even though we don't like to  apply tons of makeup, we still want to look fresh and fierce without exposing our bare face to the sun. This is when the highlighter and bronzer becomes your best friend! These two products will get you that sun-kissed glow that we all want to achieve.
Now, there are many products out in the market that I have tried yet have failed to deliver. However, I  recently discover a cosmetic brand that didn't let me down! The Mary-Lou & Betty-Lou Manizer by´The Balm Cosmetics´ got me sold immediately! Plus it comes with the cutest vintage pinups packaging theme.

The Highlighter:
Mary-Lou Manizer gives a soft, shimmering champagne shade and gives more of a luminous effect instead of looking glittery.

The Bronzer:
Betty-Lou Manizer gives a beautiful shimmering shade with a tint of a brown/rose colour. Since its  highly pigmented, you can have multiple usage e.g as an eyeshadow.

Both of these products are highly rich in texture and pigment. Meaning that you only have to use a small amount to achieve that glowing sun-kissed faux look!

El verano esta qui y significa que vamos ligero de ropa, alimentos y sobre todo maquillaje. Aunque no nos gusta aplicar toneladas de maquillaje queremos seguir vernos fresca pero sin exponer nuestro rostro al sol. Esto es cuando el resaltado y bronceador se convierte en tu mejor amigo! Estos dos productos te dará ese brillo solar que todos queremos conseguir. En los últimos años, he probado varios productos en el mercado y que a un no han logrado dar el resultado que quiero. Sin embargo, hace poco descubrí una marca de cosmética que no me defraudó y se llama Mary-Lou & Betty-Lou Manizer de la marca The Balm Cosmetics
Ademas viene con la mas lindos temático ´ vintage pinups' empaquetes. 

El Resalto: 
Mary-Lou Manizer da un suave y brillante sombra a color champan. Y tambien da mas un efecto luminoso en vez de un aspecto "glitter". 

El Bronceador: 
Betty-Lou Manizer proporciona un hermos brillante sombra con un tinte de color marrón y rosado. Como tiene halta pigmentación, puede tener varios usos, por ejemplo como sombra de ojos. 

Ambos de estos productos son muy ricos en textura y pigmentos. Es decir, que sólo tienes que utilizar una pequeña cantidad para lograr un look fresca y bronceada!

Suerte!
