At least the show was amazing, for me Queen B and Bruno Mars nailed it, so much style.<br />
<br />
The product of today is one of my staples for having a better skin. Clinique tells us this about its Mild clarifying lotion:<br />

<div>
This product is what many people calls "acid toner", because it has salicylic acid in a low concentration: 0.5% (you can only find over the counter products with no more than 2% of salicylic acid). Salicylic acid is best known for helping unclogging pores, so even though Clinique recommends it for dry and sensitive skin, it's a good option for oily and acne-prone skin.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Due to the fact of being an acid toner it has an exfoliating effect, so the brand is saying the truth about helping moisturizer to absorb better. This is one of the gentlest product I've used, Clinique was saying the truth about that, it also helps the fact it's alcohol-free, which makes it non-drying; however I feel it doesn't give more hydration. About feeling some kind of refreshment that happens with any toner for me, so nothing groundbreaking here.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The product is a light green thick liquid that doesn't have any real smell. The bottle has 200 ml and it last me using it twice a day around 2-3 months; you don't need a lot of product I only soak around a third part of a cotton pad and is enough to use both side all over the face and neck. Remember to shake it before use.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In my experience it helps to get a mild exfoliation and to help reducing the quantity of break outs or pimples you get; however due to the low concentration of salicylic acid I consider this product more of a maintenance product rather than one to attack aggressively acne. Yes I still get pimples but the amount is reduced by using this and in my case I prefer that instead of drying more my dehydrated skin, because many toners with salicylic acid have tons of alcohol.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A bottle costs 14 USD and is available in Clinique counters and <a href="http://www.clinique.com/product/1573/15500/3-Step/Step-2-Exfoliate/Mild-Clarifying-Lotion" target="_blank">online</a>.</div>

This week the review is of one of the products that I’m bananas about it: blush. But in particular this one has me head over heels and is the Sleek Blush By 3 in Californ.I.A., I can just say I LOVE IT! even though one shade is too pale for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When describing this product Sleek tell us the same of all of them:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>“The ultimate cheeky palette offering you three times the impact. Includes three complementary shades, each designed with its own distinctive finish, from rich shimmers to intense matte shades.</i></span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">”</i><br />

<a name='more'></a><br /><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love the idea of three colors of blush in one palette, so Sleek you're a genius. I love the size and the fact of having a good sized mirror, however for some reason the packaging ends up peeled and that annoys me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As these </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">are cream </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">blushes you can't find matte shades, but this palette has two colors with shimmer and one without it. The three colors are </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">gorgeous; <i>Newport peach</i> is a warm pink with silver shimmer, <i>The surf</i> is a light peach with golden shimmer and <i>OC </i>is a rosy brown without shimmer.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At first I was worried of the silver shimmer in </span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Newport peach </i><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">but it doesn't look bad nor clash with my undertones; it just look luminous and only if you look really near, you can see the shimmer. With </span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">OC</i><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I didn't have any problem is the perfect rosy brown shade I like to use when I only want a natural flush. Both </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">have a really good color pay off and I only need just a little of product.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However <i>The surf</i> doesn't show off on my skin tone, I can only see the shimmer and just a really tiny bit of color, that's why I use as a highlighter, the shimmer isn't obvious but you can see it. I like using it on top of the other two shades or even mixed with Revlon cream blushes, I have actually tried topping it over a powder blush and it works too but I don't love the results.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All of them can last on me around six to eight hours even without translucent powder over them. Also all of them are on the creamier side being <i>The surf</i> the creamiest and <i>OC</i> the less creamy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In general I think this palette is awesome and everybody who loves cream blushes or want to try them should buy this. They're available at <a href="http://www.sleekmakeup.com/">Sleekmakeup.com</a> and they ship worldwide!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Really off-topic 2: I'm at my grandma's house and instead of writing I had to save the bathroom from flooding, it was the most glamorous scene of the day. Also I found a pair of short that my mom used in the 90's and I'll take them with me #I'mfancylikethat.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hi everybody this is the first review I’ve ever done since its beginning in both languages, it’s going to be a foundation which I had a love-hate relationship, but know I can say I’d think about repurchase it. Is the Clinique’s Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup; I use the shade 19 Sand, which is part of medium shades and has a neutral undertones. Clinique tell us the next description:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now we’ll compare what the brand says and my experience.</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But first let’s have a rant, 88ºF isn’t most extreme weather I’ve experienced, simply in Veracruz we normally are at the hottest days around 97ºF with a similar level of humidity, so I think they went with a more achievable claim rather than a groundbreaking one. Note: the last time I was in that kind of weather I could only bother doing my brows and blush, thinking about using more products overwhelmed me; I just wanted not to melt.</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now with the characteristics of the foundation: I’m going to start with the matte finish which it simply just doesn’t exist, the foundation dries to a natural finish that I actually love because you look radiant not greasy. My T-zone is extremely oily and is common that must products will get me oily; in this case with powder I last around two to three hours without looking like a shiny ball.</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">About lasting power, without primer and powder I can get eight hours of wearing and when it fades it does it evenly. I consider coverage as a buildable medium, one layer will even things out and two layers will cover most imperfections; I haven’t use three because I like to keep it real but I have use it also as a light concealer.</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My main problem with this foundation is the shade, it has a neutral undertone that in my skin can look ashy in certain lighting, due to my warm undertones. But in case of depth is perfect.</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That’s the reason of the love-hate relationship with it and I don’t know about repurchasing; is a good foundation and mixed with liquid highlighter or primer it looks even better.

What would you do? You can’t make a full face so you use the minimum amount of product to look polished.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; display: inline; float: none; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">For me when you have an important meeting or event, the minimum amount of steps are five, well three essentials and two complimentary. I’m pretty sure everybody knows Jeremy Renner (yes Hawkeye), if you haven’t already known this, he’s a makeup artist and for he there are three essential steps (which for me are also the three essentials):</span><br />

<li>Brows: unless you got Cara’s brows (I’m jealous in that case), you should take care of them, call it brushing or doing them; you can see the difference in your face.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<li>Lashes: if you have a set of full and curly lashes, you’ll probably skip this step. But for many curling and applying mascara make them look fresh and awake.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<li>Lips: an intense lip color is the easiest way to look like you try hard to look fancy but without using a lot of time. Don’t be afraid of bright colors, life is too short to not using them.</li>
</ul>
<span style="color: black; display: inline; float: none; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">The next two steps take the look to a different level but let’s be real sometimes you can’t do all what you want:</span><br />
<ul style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<li>Face: whatever you use when in hurry (powder foundation, under-eye concealer, just some foundation or only primer) a face which looks more even takes you to another level when trying to look more dressed up.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<li>Cheeks: you have to know I love blushes, they make you looks healthier and younger. Many people think blush looks false but well applied it looks like it comes from you, also you can try with some bright colored ones; just because it’s only makeup.</li>
</ul>
<span style="color: black; display: inline; float: none; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">This is the first “translated” post I hope you like it.

time writing a beauty blog, I’d written one in Spanish before that actually I’m
relaunching along with this blog. So yes it’s going to be something like a
bilingual blog, probably they won’t be a complete translation of each other but
the ideas would be the same.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

translating some old posts from my blog in Spanish, of products still available
or musings that I consider can be important. Also when I publish in one language
the same post will be published in the other language.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

many times I can publish in a week but I hope you stay tuned and follow me on
social media.</span></div>
