Hey, it's Marta!

Hello my lovelies! 🧡

Welcome to my first series on my channel. This series is called "The Makeup Color Show", and it's inspired on a YouTube Channel called "A Color Show".

So basically each episode of the series will be dedicated to a single color, and in each season will be used a single eyeshadow palette. In this season the eyeshadow palette is from M.A.C. Cosmetics with 120 colors!

Hope you guys like it!
 Love you! ✨

THE VIDEO
julho 28, 2019 No comentários

Hello my lovelies! How are you? Today I posted on YouTube a video that would never imagined to do. Why? Because I started this journey by only sharing with you all that I love and support. But at the same time, sharing with you trustful and honest thoughts and opinions. 

So, in this post, you're going to find my FULL and HONEST OPINION on a product that most of you are obsessed with: The Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation. 

Before I start this review, go check it out my YouTube video, to see how the Foundation worked on my skin and to understand better what I'm about to say in this post.


THE REVIEW

In the video you saw that I talked about of many issues that I had with the foundation, for example dry skin, open pores, harsh to blend other products, and so on. But we're going to talk about that later. 

I was searching for a new foundation that was full coverage, that stay longer on my skin without retouching it, and that was matte but with a little bit of glow and hydration. After doing my researches and seeing some reviews on YouTube, the Double Wear Foundation was the perfect match between what I wanted and the excellent consumer review. But that was not my experience.

Let's start by talking about the packaging of the foundation. It felt very heavy and luxurious, very minimal, golden, very Estée Lauder. But when I opened it, there was no pump. So, for the price that you pay, for the brand itself, it's already a turn off, when it's almost mandatory having a pump, to control more the product that you use and don't have any waste. And it stars getting heaven more strange when I saw that they sell the pump separately. That doesn't make any sense for me.

But I was so overwhelmed with the reviews of the product and with what the foundation promised, that I start use it right away.  

The Double Wear Foundation promises you a 24 Hours wear, a matte finish, claims to be oil free and shine control, water proof, transfer and humidity resistant and medium-to-full coverage. It is available in 55 shades with C (Cold) N (Neutral) W (Warm) Undertones. This foundation is the number one 1# in the U.S.

As you saw on the video, since the first time that I used this foundation, I had a lot of issues. The first one was immediately the dryness on my skin. When the foundation began to dry, I started felling my skin drying more and more. So, I tried again, but this time with some primer. And nothing, heaven with some primers the foundation got worse. I was almost giving up trying, until I remembered to use it with some Seruns that I have. And still nothing. It helped a little bit, but the difference was not visible. 

So basically with all this trying, the foundation on my skin didn't work at all! It really opens my pores, felt really dry, doesn't allow me to work with any kind of powders, and heaven some times the product disappeared on some spots. 

And I gave up using this foundation. At least on me. 
FINAL THOUGHTS

I think its obvious that The Double Wear Foundation from Estée Lauder "It's Not Marta Approved"! Unfortunately this foundation doesn't work for me and for the use that I want, but I have to say! This foundation worked really well on some people that I did their makeup, so maybe it's just with some kind of skin types, or other reason.

This was only my FULL and HONEST opinion! As you've saw, this was a really one of the most wanted products for me, and sadly turned out to not work. My advice for you is to try this foundation first, and see for yourself if it works. I hope this review helped you in any way, don't forget to follow me on all my social media, and see you on the next one!

Love you! 💕

Hello my lovelies! How are you? Last week I decided to open my makeup drawers, grab some products and create some content for you. So today's post is about one of the most desired products of the makeup community: The Pro Filt'r Primer from Fenty Beauty by Rihanna!

In this post I'm going to talk about why this is the best primer that I've ever had, how do I use it, how it performs, and everything you need to know about this AMAZING primer. So let's start this review!





THE PRIMER

Before we talk about the primer itself, we have to talk about the packaging. The packaging is absolutely amazing! We couldn't not expect less from Rihanna! It's a very minimal and clean packaging. The container feels heavy and luxurious with a soft pink matte glass and also with a pump to have more control on the quantity you want to use. So YES, just for the packaging this Primer is already a must have!

About the primer itself, it has a very interesting texture. Why? It starts by having a creamy texture when you apply it, to moisturize your skin, and after a while, the texture of the primer starts changing gradually and slowly becoming a little bit more thick and harder to apply. That's when you know that the primer is doing wonders to your skin, because of its main function: unify the texture of your skin by reducing visibly your pores and giving a very smooth, glowy and natural look to your face.

With just one pump you have enough product to apply all over your face so, for a normal usage, the primer lasts a long time. I apply it with my fingers, to not waste any product, and also because it fells better that way. The Pro Filt'r comes with two sizes: The Full size, with 32 ml. and The Mini, with just 15ml.

The Pro Filt'r Primer is 100% Cruelty Free as well as every product from Fenty Beauty!

FINAL THOUGHTS 

This primer is officially on of the best primers that I've ever had and, of corse, It's Marta Approved! Yay! It's so different from all the primers that I've tried in the past, because it mattify your skin a little bit, smooth visibly your pores and also it unify your skin tone and temperature. At the same time, the primer moisturize your face and gives you a very settle and natural shine, which is very innovative and well developed scientifically for primers with this type of purposes. As opposed to a mattifying primer, the Pro Filt'r Primer smooths out your skin but with a natural glow.

So hope you guys enjoyed this review! Tell me on the comments down bellow which primer do you love the most, and see you on the next one!
Love you 💕

Hello my lovelies! The past few days were a bit crazy for me. It was my mother's birthday and mine on the same day, my brother's birthday as well, and also my final exams in between. But now, I'm free and ready for Summer!

Today I decided to try something that I don't do very often: EYELINER! Since I'm always creating different makeup looks, I decided to buy some eyeliners to bold up. So, today's post is dedicated to this little one, the Benefit Roller Liner, a true matte liquid eyeliner!

THE PACKAGING

Benefit is a brand that you fall in love immediately! Why? Because of their image, their branding, their packaging! With their 50's, drive-in, retro, pin up vibe they also have a very strong, empowering and feminine message behind their image.

And this product is no different! You can see how adorable the packaging his, and look to the container! HOW CUTE IT IS? I just couldn't resist to buy this! You can find almost every product form Benefit on Sephora's Stores and also in Lisbon, on the Benefit Store.

 If you want you to know more, just go visit their amazing website by CLICKING HERE.

THE EYELINER

Of course that you are here to know all my thoughts about the Roller Liner. You already know that I don't use eyeliner very often, because the ones that I have take me a lot of my time to do a perfect line or shape. When I wanted to do a more bold look with eyeliner, I used to apply my favorite one, The Gel Eyeliner by Sigma Beauty. Till I bought this precious!

The Roller Liner eyeliner is amazing, allows you to create a thin and defined line thanks to its precise felt tip. Its formula is supposed to be water-proof, matte, quick-drying and lasts for 24 hours, but the formula it's not that water-proof, because it smudges a little bit with water. You can create both thinner strokes for a natural look or thicker strokes for a more dramatic look with the certainty that the end result will be incredible.

They have available two colors and two sizes for you: Brown and Black, Full Size (1,0 ml) and Mini Size (0,5 ml).

NOTE: Because of its formula, the tip of the eyeliner dries really quick, if you take too long. So you must do your eyeliner quicker, or you just put the tip on the case of the eyeliner, take off again, and continue to do your perfect line shape!

FINAL THOUGHTS

And, as you might know already, the Benefit Roller Liner "It's Marta Approved"! Yay! In spite of not being a strong waterproof eyeliner, it is really easy to work with, for a true matte, it dries really quick, and it's great for travel! This eyeliner is amazing for everyone, from beginners to experts. Now you have no excuses to not do the perfect line on your eyes!

Hope you guys enjoyed this review as much as I did trying it for you, and tell me on the comments down bellow, which is your favorite eyeliner! See you on the next one!

Love you 💕

Hello my lovelies! Here it is, another video on my YouTube Channel and this one is about Sensilis.

In this post you can find an honest, detailed and full review about ALL the products that I used on the video, and in the video you can find almost everything you need to know about some of the Sensilis makeup products: Foundations, Eyeliners, Lipsticks and so on.

So sit down, relax, have a cup of tea and enjoy this review!

If you didn't already watched the video, you can check it ou down bellow, and if you're not already subscribed, make sure you subscribe my channel, it helps me a lot to grow:


THE VIDEO

Sensilis is a spanish brand that started 25 years ago with misson: innovation for the beauty of women! Since then, they become specialized in dermocosmitc anti-aging products, and they are the number one leader in Spain.

They have developed a lot of products, between Sun Care, Body Care, Makeup, and so on, that are dermatologically tested. I only tested some of the makeup products. If you want to know more about them, just CLICK HERE to visit their website. So let's start the review!

SUBLIM LIFT AND RADIANCE SKIN FOUNDATIONS

The foundation that I used on the video was the "Radiance Skin" Foundation. This foundation has a very fluid texture which promises a 6 to 8 hours wear. It has a medium coverage and gives you a super natural, luminous and uniform look. It has SPF15 that protects your skin from aging.

The other foundation that I've been using, is the "Sublime Lift" Foundation. This foundation has a very creamy texture that guarantees a uniform and durable finish, it also gives a natural look, but the coverage is higher than the "Radiance Skin". It also gives a lifting effect, capable of reducing expression lines or wrinkles and it also smooths the skin.


THE SHIMMER LIPS 

"The Shimmer Lips" Glosses that I used have a thin, light and creamy formula that gives you hydration and comfort with a fruity scent. They also have a shiny natural finish and their texture doesn't allow stickiness. I only have the Transparent, Beige, Fuchsia, Natural, Tendre, Fraise, Bonbon and Cerise.  And my absolute favorite was the Beige one, it is really good for a daily look!



THE LIPSTICKS

Now let's talk about the main attraction, my Sensilis Lipstick Collection. As you've seen on the video, I have a lot of the Sensilis lipsticks, and they are all amazing. I have two types of formulas: "The Velvet" and "The Intense Matte".

"The Velvet" Lipsticks have a very creamy texture with a moisturizing and velvety finish. It also gives you an intense lip color and, at the same time, the hydration that your lips need. With this formula they also have some Metallic Lipsticks for you to shine!

"The Intense Matte" Lipsticks are super pigmented and long-lasting, expected to last at least 12 hours. They have a matte finish with a very moisturizing and nutritive formula, with mango butter and aragan oil.

My favorite lipsticks were the "Fraise", "Delice", "Groseille" and "Prune"!


THE MASCARA, THE EYELINERS, THE LIP LINERS AND THE LIP PRIMER 

To finish this review, let's talk about the other products that I've tried on the video and one of my favorites of ALL.

For you that have eyelashes like me, that are very hard to curve and turn them up, the "Sublime Lashes" Mascara is a great product to really pop them out and leave them very long and curvy.

The "Infinite Eye" Eyeliner it's also a great product that gives you amazing precision for you to do, from the simple to the most bold eyeliner look! It is also waterproof, so you don't have to worry to retouch during the day.

Now for the lips, we have "The Perfect Line" Lip Liner. They have a very similar formula as the Lipsticks. With a very creamy and long-lasting formula, these lip liners were made for you to easily draw the contour of your lips, perfectly!

And finally, the product that I had never tried before and really surprised me - "The Smooth Lips" Lip Primer! This lip primer was made to really hydrate, perfect and smooth your lips. It also can long-last and intensify the color of your lipstick. It is really an amazing product!


FINAL THOUGHTS 

So, my final thoughts are obvious! I really liked ALL the products from Sensilis, they work really nice and some of them really surprised me. Of course that I have some favorites, as I said in the video, and they are: "The Radiance Skin" Foundation, "The Sublime Lashes" Mascara, "The Shimmer Lips" Gloss Beige, and "The Smooth Lips" Lip Primer.

Hope you guys enjoyed this major brand review! If you want another one, just let me know which brand do you like me to do next time. Don't forget to follow me on all my social media, and see you on the next one!

Love you! 💕

Hello my lovelies! Here it is, my first YouTube Video in my new studio! Yay!

For my first video I decided to create two looks only using products from a single brand. So, I grabbed some of my NYX products, turned my camera on, and started creating the looks! If you didn't saw the video, check it out here:


In this post I decided to do a detailed review about the products that I used in the video, because the video was more like a kind of tutorial and I want you to know my full and honest opinion on the things that I share with you.

THE PALETTE

So, let's talk about the main attraction, the "Love Contours All" Palette. The Palette itself has almost everything you need to do a complete look for any occasion: Two Bronzers, Two Highlighters, Two Eyebrow Powders, and Nine Eyeshadows! Wow, that's a lot for a single palette, I know. That's why is so good for you to take it everywhere.

The Eyebrows Powders (14, 15) I don't use it so I don't have much to say about their performances, but by the swatches that I did they seem to be very good and very pigmented.
The Bronzers (12, 13) are great, they are very pigmented and very buildable. I prefer the shade 12 because it's more matchable with my skin tone.
The Highlighters (10, 11) are amazing, they work really well and even better with the setting spray, and their shades work really good on my skin tone.

The Eyeshadows (1 to 9) are a hit-and-miss, some of them didn't really worked as I expected, but there are also really good ones. In this palette there are two formulas: shimmers (2, 3, 5 and 7) and mattes (1, 4, 6, 8 and 9).  The ones that I really liked and preformed really well, were the ones that I used in the video. My favorites are the shades 3, 6, 8 and 9. The ones that didn't worked for me are the shades 4 and 1. The shade 4 it's very patchy and the shade 1 only works with some eye primer.

Down here you can find all the eyeshadows that I used for each look that I made on the video.

LOOK 1






LOOK 2


THE SETTING SPRAY AND LIPSTICKS

The Setting Spray it's not the best of the best compared to some that I have already used and tried, for example the All Nighter from Urban Decay it's much better because it sets the makeup longer and really pops out the highlighters.

The Butter Gloss it's a good option for a daily routine because it's light, fresh and matches with all your makeup looks and outfits because it has a sheer color. During the day you may have to do some retouches but it's not a big deal.

The Lip Lingerie, unlike the Butter Gloss, it's a long wear matte lipstick, so you don't have to worry about retouching it. It's a very bold option, so you might not use it every day, but for a dashing look it's a great option. To apply it perfectly you must spend a bit of your time.


Which one do you liked the most? The first look or the second one? Leave on the comments down bellow all your thoughts! Hope you guys have enjoyed the video and this full and honest review about the products that I used. Don't forget to subscribe my YouTube channel and I'll see you on the next one.
Love you! 💕

Hello my lovelies, it's been awhile since my last post on social media. But guess what? I'm back!
After a few weeks between buying some studio lights, studio reflectors, studio backgrounds, etc., I finally finished setting up my studio!

With all this brand new upgrade, I decided to come back to my blog and continue to share with you all the good stuff: new products, new brands, makeup tutorials, outfits, places, and so on. So, I hope you guys enjoy all the content that I've prepared for you, and stay with me in this new chapter of my life!

Today's post is about this new brand called Practk. Practk (Prac-tick as in Pratical) was created by Sigma Beauty (one of the world leaders in exclusive, patented makeup brushes and brush care technology) to bring you fun and affordable brush care.

Their main product is the "Palmat", created to keep your brushes just like new. It was designed to wear on the palm of our hands, with adjustable straps to fit any hand size - left or right hand. It has two types of textures, to wash and refine all types of brushes. Also, it's perfect for travel so you can clean your brushes wherever you go!



I used to have the SigMagic Scrub from Sigma Beauty, and it was really great because it cleaned my brushes very well and it was also a 2-in-1 product with a solid cleanser attached to a textured gadget.
Now that I have the "Palmat", I can tell you it really deep cleans your brushes and leave them like new. It's very practical and easy to use and also very malleable.

I also have other product from Practk, that is the "Power Blender", and it's also an amazing product. With the flat surface it's impossible to do your countering, highlighting and setting without perfect precision! For the design and the price, it's a must have. Some advices if you have one: you have to wash it every time you use it, and if you use regularly you must replace it every three months.


They also have their own brush collection that you can buy individuals or the full set, called the All-Star Brush Set. The collection have all kind of essential brushes, for your eyes, for contour, for concealer, for highlight, and so on.

In short, the "Palmat" and "Power Blender" are amazing products and "It's Marta Approved"! Yay! Their designs, colors, textures and performances, make them very good products and must haves on your beauty bag. So, go check their website and all the fantastic products that they have available for you!
