We LOVE J.Crew catalogues. Seriously, we do a happy dance here at bloom once a month when it gets updated. The styling of each outfit is just so quirky and colorful! Some of them are a little too much for our taste (sneakers with a pencil skirt? no), but they're a great source of inspiration for how to put together colors and patterns for on and off duty dressing. The clothes aren't the only thing that's pretty and inspirational, we also love the beauty looks. The models are always styled in an effortless chic kind of way: tousled hair, understated eyes and red-orange lips. That lip color! We think that the lips are what tie everything together, it's what takes the look from messy to chic. So after months of debating whether or not to hop on the bold-lip bandwagon, we finally decided to give this look a try!
Nos ENCANTAN los catálogos de
J.Crew. No es mentira cuando les decimos que hacemos un bailecito de alegría cada mes que los actualizan en su página. Lo que más nos gusta es que son únicos para crear sus outfits: son la inspiración perfecta para aprender a combinar colores y estampados. Otro de los elementos que nos inspiran son los looks de belleza. Las modelos siempre están arregladas de manera sencilla pero chic: peinado ligeramente desordenado, ojos naturales, y labios rojos-anaranjados. El color de labios es en definitiva lo que unifica la ropa con el peinado, evita que la modelo se vea desordenada y la hace verse elegante. Así que después de meses de estar en ese estira-y-encoge de si probar o no probar este look, finalmente nos convencimos a darle una oportunidad!
After hours of pouring over google and pinterest looking for the perfect lip color to suit all skin tones, we settled on two: MAC's Cremesheen in Vegas Bolt (splurge, $18, Siman) and Revlon's Colorburst Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti (steal, $6, Wal Mart). If you decide to try this trend remember to K.I.S.S.: Keep It Simple, Sweetie! Keep your eyemakeup to a minimum and let the lipstick do its job! Now on to the reviews:
Después de varias horas de buscar el color de labios perfecto para cualquier tono de piel en google y pinterest, finalmente nos decidimos por dos labiales: MAC Creemsheen en Vegas Bolt (inversión, $18, Simán), y Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter en Tutti Frutti (BBB*, $6, Wal Mart). Si se deciden a probar este look, les recomendamos mantener su maquillaje de ojos a un mínimo (sobre todo si es de día)
*BBB = bueno, bonito y barato :)
Rating: A+ for both!
Both lipsticks are great options, which one you buy depends on how bold you want your lips to go and your budget, you could buy either and get great results!
Revlon's lip butter on the other hand, is very sheer. You can apply it straight from the tube, without even using a mirror and you'll be fine. This lipstick is great if you're looking to try this look in a more understated way. It has a lot of sheen to it, almost like those squeezable chapsticks (not the stick ones) but not quite as bold as lip gloss. However, if you like matte lips, this is not your option. A big plus of Revlon's lipstick is that it's not drying at all, so we recommend not wearing any chapstick under it. If you do, because of the sheerness of the lipstick, you'll wash out the color.
MAC's lipstick is very pigmented, a
little will go a long way. We suggest not applying it straight from the
tube, but instead, dap it on with your fingers. That way you can adjust
how much color you want. We love that this color is bold, so you can
take it from day to night by layering on more color. It has a subtle
sheen to it once applied, but it can almost look matte after having it
on for a while. A con of this lipstick is that it tends to dry out our
lips a little, so we suggest you apply a layer of chapstick before
putting it on.

Nota: 10 para ambos!
Ambos
lipsticks son buenísimas opciones, todo depende de que tan fuerte
quieras tu color y cuanto estés dispuesta a gastar, puedes comprar
cualquiera de los dos y tener excelentes resultados!
El labial MAC es pigmentado, un poquito de este se nota bastante. Les sugerimos no aplicarlo directamente del tubo, sino hacerlo con sus dedos. De esta manera pueden controlar mejor la magnitud del color, porque si es fuerte. El labial tiene muy poco brillo, así que si les gustan los labiales mate, pueden aplicar poco color o bajar el brillo con una servilleta. Una desventaja de este lipstick es que tiende a resecar los labios, así que les sugerimos ocupar chapstick debajo.
Por otro lado, el labial Revlon es ligeramente traslucido. Lo pueden aplicar directamente del tubo (¡sin necesidad de espejo!) sin tener miedo de verse como payasitas. Este lipstick es perfecto si están buscando un look más discreto. El labial tiene bastante brillo, casi como esos chapsticks de tubo apretable (aunque no tanto como un lipgloss). Así que si te gustan los labiales mate, esta NO es tu opción. Un gran plus de este lipstick es que no reseca los labios, es más, te recomendamos no ocupar chapstick debajo para que no diluyas el color.
