Spanish Cosmetics Haul.

I have been dying to purchase Spanish cosmetics since I booked the flight back in March. Well today, I finally got the opportunity to get some products that I know I wont be able to find in the U.S.

I was invited to go shopping with Kristine and her co-workers, Pau and Maria. They are so sweet and in their twenties. They know all the great shopping places. Maria is a model and used her connections to get us 10 percent off at this hidden treasure called Gotic Productes de Maquillatge. This is where a lot of her makeup artists purchase their makeup. It was like a warehouse for cosmetics! I. WAS. IN. HEAVEN.

At first, I was a little intimidated because there was just so many things to look at. I ended up buying an under eye correcter that Pau recommended, a mascara that leaves my lashes long, voluminous AND soft, a stippling brush and a coral lipstick. (Prices shown are after the discount Maria scored for us).

This trip only solidified my dream of doing public relations in the beauty industry. :)


Usually, I am drawn to concealers and not correctors because they just come in one color - a salmon color. But, this does wonders for all skintones. A little of this goes such a long way. I will think of Pau, and how she raved about it, every time I put it on. (€ 8.59)

This mascara (€ 7.15) is waterproof and a dry formula. Two characteristics that, again, I'm not usually drawn to. But I tried this at the store and it made my lashes full and soft. After I tried it, the rest of the girls joined the bandwagon and purchased it too!!

This stippling brush (€ 9.05) will be perfect for my foundation!! It is so incredibly soft.

Coral lipstick (€ 8.19) - So smooth and looks like I am wearing a lip gloss on top. I think a coral lip is perfect for the summer. Just remember to keep the eye makeup light and let the lips be the star of the show :)
