Current Favourites!

Hello everyone, how are you all doing? Well I hope! So today's post is somenthing that I haven't done for so long, and it is a current favourites. I don't usually do monthly favourites just because I don't really try that much products in order to have new favourites every month so I'm doing a current favourites which basically consists of all the products and things that I've been loving for the past few months.

Garnier Fructis - Shampoo and Conditioner

Sephora - Hand cream

Revlon - Body lotion

The first product is a shampoo and conditioner, from the brand Garnier, it's a very affordable brand I believe both of them is probably like 5-7 euros and to be honest from all the shampoos and all the conditioners that I've tried I find myself always going back to these two. I have dry hair but it can get oily at the roots and I see such a difference when I use this shampoo. It makes my hair very soft and fresh, and when I blow dry it and style it, it has an amazing feel to it. Sometimes right after taking a shower and blow dried my hair, at the roots it starts to have that greasy feeling which I hate and this shampoo does an amazing job at not doing that.

Second, I've also been really liking this hand cream by sephora it smells amazing, I used it pretty much throught the summer and it left my hands feeling lush since I have pretty dry hands, it also smells like mangos which is a total plus because it's one of my favourite scents (and fruit).

Lastly for this "body care" routine, I've also been really liking the Revlon body lotion. I don't really like to put on body lotion after taking a shower because it takes a long time specially if it is a thick lotion which in that case I will not be using it because I absolutely hate the feeling of sticky skin, and if you're like me you'll love this product because it is very light and you apply it in literally seconds.

Batiste - Dry Shampoo

Equivalenza - Perfume

Catrice - Concealer

Rimmel - Natural Bronzer

Now for the beauty part, I've been obsessed with this dry shampoo by batiste, it is really a life saver for those days that you wake up late and don't have time to take a shower and your hair is getting a little bit greasy, this will seriously leave your hair feeling fresh and smooth.

This next one is a perfume by Equivalenza which is a store that does "replicas" of some perfume brands, this one I can't really tell you what it is because it was a gift but it smells very flowery, fresh and a little bit sweet.

Now for makeup I've used pretty much this whole concealer by Catrice, it is very nice, it has an amazing coverage and a little bit goes a long way, the only down side is that you have to be quick while applying it because it dries quite fast.

Lastly is the Rimmel, Natural Bronzer. I've been using this product every day, it is very natural, it doesn't have a lot of shimmer I would say it's pretty matte on the skin.

Now for the last one it is a book that I'm pretty sure most of you book worms already read, and it is Girl on the train by Paula Hawkins. The one in the picture is the portuguese version and I absolutely loved it, I loved it so much I read it in 2/3 days ahah. I'm also really excited now to go see the movie on the cinema.

This is not really a current favourites because I haven't really tried them but I got them from a store online and I am in love, they're so gorgeous and fell like good quality so I decided to show them to you.

Thank you so much for reading, hope you liked this post, tell me in the comments your favourites at the moment and what you're most excited about Autumn.

My everyday makeup routine!

Hello beauties how have you all been? Today I decided to bring you the products that I use on my everyday makeup routine. I'm not the type of person that spends huge amounts of money in makeup, not because I don't want to, because if I had the opportunity I'd love to do that, it's just that with college and all that I usually only buy drugstore makeup also almost all the products you'll see here are from drugstore and are also really, really affordable. Which is nice for girls that are still in school and they're parents are not willing to buy really expensive makeup (which was my case in highschool). These products are all nice and I use them almost everyday for a really simple look.

Foundation by Rimmel "Match Perfection": about 12 €

Bronzer "Avon Glow": about 5 €

Blush "Glamour": given to me

Babylips by Maybelline: 2,99 €

Lipliner "P.S. Beauty Primark": 1,50 € 

Lipstick by "Essence" in 05 "Dare to be nude": about 2/3 €

Black Eyeliner by "Dior": given to me

Mascara by "Essence": 2-5 €

This is basically the products of my everyday routine, they're really cheap which is good because since I use them so much I can buy them more frequently. Hope you liked this little post, and I hope you've all had an amazing weekend ♡

June favourites 2014!

Hello beauties! So I just realized that today is the first day of the month of July and that is insane... time is seriously flying by so fast, I feel like I can't even blink my eyes otherwise it's already September. We're in the beginning of a new month so it's about time to do a June favourites. I don't have that much stuff to show you mainly because I haven't been buying anything and I didn't really did anything special this month but I hope that somehow you enjoy reading this :)

 My absolute favourite from the month of June has to be the book "The fault in our stars". I know this is not the original cover, and that is because it's not in english. This is the portuguese version of it (which I really enjoyed by the way). I really wanted the english version, but my mum wanted to read it as well and she doesn't understand English (just a little bit), so that is why. I've also seen the movie and it's of course my favourite of the month as well, it is simply amazing and I cried a lot at the cinema and had to use five tissues ahah.

The next favourite now related to beauty is this blender sponge, foundation sponge or whatever you call it that my mum bought me. I've heard a lot of good things about it and I've been really enjoying using this. Mainly because even if I exaggerate a little bit on the foundation, this blends everything out and absorbs the excess of product which I think it's really nice to prevent my face to look cakey.

1-TRESemmé Diamente heat protectant

2- TRESemmé treatment for split ends

3- Garnier makeup remover

This next products are also beauty related. 
The first one is the TRESemmé's heat protectant which I use every time I curl or straight my hair and it really helps protecting my hair from the heat preventing it from damage.
The second product is a treatment/cream for split ends. My hair tends to get split ends very easily and it's also really dry, so this helps reducing the dryness and my hair also looks and feels more healthy and soft. I also just apply a tiny bit on the ends.
Now the last one is my makeup remover from Garnier. What I like the most about it is that it is super fresh and minty and after you use it your face feels really, really soft. It also removes all the makeup and I really like it!

That's it for my favourites of the month of June, I hope you enjoyed reading this even tho it was a little bit on the short side. It would mean the world if you could share this, follow me or leave a comment down below telling me your favourites or simply a thought! Thank you. x

APRIL FAVOURITES 2014!

Hello beauties! Okay, before I start, I just need to ask you one thing... what the hell is happening to 2014? How are we already in May? How? Time has been flying by. It feels like yesterday I was showing you guys some stuff I bought for Christmas, etc. and now we're one month away from Summer. So weird, just had to mention that. Now for the actual post, today I'm showing you some products/random stuff that I've been really liking this past month. 

 Perfume ROSE FRAÎCHE: Yves Rocher

This is a perfume that my grandma gave me and I love it so much. It has a floral scent to it and it might seem strong at first but when you spray it on your skin it smells really nice, and fresh and floral.

Facial cleaner mousse: O Boticário

This is a skincare product that I've been using one or two times everyday. It is a mousse that I use it with a face brush to exfoliate/clean/wash my face and it does an amazing job at keeping my face clean and feeling fresh. And it also smells amazing which is always a plus.

Lipgloss in "Nude Kiss": Essence

Omg, this is probably my favorite one. It is gorgeous! It's the perfect nude pink color for me. It's not super sticky and it is so shiny. I love, love, love it so much. It is my go to everyday lipstick and it was also super cheap. Ohh how I love drugstore products... I might have to buy another one though because this one's almost empty.

COLOR BOOST CRAYON in "Orange Punch": Bourjois

This lip crayon is perfection. I absolutely LOVE it. It is so appropriate for spring, the color is fantastic, it doesn't make your lips feel dry after a while and I am just in love.

nativaSPA hand cream: O Boticário

This is a bit random but this is my April favorites and this has to be definitely one of my "skincare" products that I've been using the most. This was a gift from a friend, and it is a handcream. It smells so, freaking good. I love everything fruity and this one's in guarana. So amazing. And it makes my hand feel like a baby's butt since they're really dry.

Both sunglasses: Primark

Now for the last thing/things it is my sunnies that I bought recently! I've never used to wear sunglasses that much, but for some reason I've been really, really liking it! It covers your face from the sun (or from the world when I'm not wearing makeup haha) and they're really cute to add a little some, some to your outfits!

That's it. I hope you liked my post, make sure you leave me your opinion in the comments! It would mean a lot. x

MARCH FAVORITES: Beauty edition!

Hello beauties! How are you on this lovely afternoon? I can not believe it's finally Friday, I'm done with all the tests and I can finally rest now and have a relaxing weekend. I know the month didn't end yet but we're only four days away from April, crazy right? Time flies by... And I tought I'd share with you my favorites from March and what products I've been loving and wearing a lot.

  The first one HAS to be the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation. I can't even put into words how I feel about this foundation, It is just amazing. It does an amazing job at covering up the redness, and it looks so natural. I love it so much and it is super inexpensive. I believe it is 11 or 12 euros and I bought it for 5. Such an amazing deal and amazing quality.

Next is my nailpolish from essence. I really like the colour, it's this really bright red with sparkles and I just think it looks really cute specially now for Spring, it gives your nails a nice pop of colour. This also has a "sand" effect and dries very fast which is a plus.

Now for mascara I've been really liking to use Maybelline the falsies one. It does an amazing job at giving lots of volume and makes my lashes look great.

Now for hair, I've been using all this products for a long time now, and I absolutely love them all.
First is this shampoo from L'Oréal, smells amazing and leaves my hair super soft and more healthy looking.
Second is this "Care-Spray Essence" and this one is by far my favorite because it has helped my hair a lot! Months ago I began noticing that my hair was breaking and I would notice it especially in the shower, but after using this everyday before brushing my hair I've noticed such a huge difference and now in the shower any of my hair falls off.
Third is this hairspray from Nivea, I really like it specially when I curl my hair. It does an amazing job at making my curls last all day.
Last but not least my Schwarzkopf hair repair and heat protectant. I love it, it really protects my hair from the heat and I've noticed a huge difference after starting using this.

Ohhhhh, the super famous baby lips by maybelline. Who doesn't love this beauty? I've been using it like crazy! I love it so much because not only it's a beautiful color but also protects and moisturizes my lips, two in one. Love it, love it, love it.

And finally the last one, is this powder Stay Matte by Rimmel, I use it with the match perfection foundation and it looks amazing. Super light, you can't even notice or feel that you're using it and it does a good job at keeping your face matte for 4-5 of hours, if you're going out for a  whole day I recommend bringing this with you for a quick touch up.



That's it, I hope you enjoyed. Please don't forget to follow me if you haven't because it would mean the world to me. Thank you so much, love you.

Current favorites - "Beauty, fashion, room decor, etc."

Hello beauties how are you? So, last month I posted a current favorites and since I bought some new stuff this month and I've been really enjoying them, why not do it again? I was thinking about doing an "October favorites" but there's stuff that I have for a few months and it's not even the end of the October yet so I figured it out I should do a "Current favorites" instead. Alright, shall we start?

Body splash "H&M": It smells like vanilla and it's in a very sweet scent and I absolutly love it. I can't remember the price because I bought it a while ago but it was cheap.

Rimmel Match Perfection foundation "Drugstore Product": 4,99 €

Essence lipstick in 05 "Dare to be Nude": 2,89 €

Chimmer cubes palette 21 from "The Body Shop": It was a gift so I don't know the price.

Revlon Color Boost crayon in 03 "Orange punch": Around 14 to 15 €.

Acne gel from "Andrea Valomo": It was a gift.

In the "Beauty department" I've been really enjoying all this products. I think I talked about most of them except for the eyeshadows. And that is why I took a picture of what the eyeshadows look like on your eyelids. They are very very pigmented and shimmery, a little bit goes a long way. My favorites are the first (Velvet pink) and the second one (soft pink).

      (Sorry for the bad quality, the weather was very gloomy and I had to take all the pictures by myself, I was by the window so my neighboors probably think I'm a complete weirdo haha)

Now moving on to fashion. I've been loving wearing scarves this month, I don't really know why but it's probably because the weather is perfect to wear these, it's so comfortable and it can really put an outfit together. I have more scarves that I use but here's one of my favorites.

1st scarve "Primark": 4€

2nd scarve "Primark": 1€

 

In case you didn't know, I am a candle addict and I just love lighting up some candles. I think it just makes the room 10 times cozier and not to mention how amazingly good it smells.

Purple candles "Primark": ?

Strawberry candle "Local Drugstore": ?

And now for my favorite song of the moment is actually a cover from "Clarity by Zedd" and the name of the guy who did the cover is Sam Tsui. To me it's actually better than the original, it's so calm and the lyrics are beautiful. You should listen to it!

And that's it for my current favorites! I hope you enjoyed, and if you did, let me know in the comments, thank you so much and don't forget to follow me because it would mean the world, xoxo.

My question for you: What are you doing for Halloween? I would love to know!

Rimmel match perfection foundation - first impression/review

Hello beauties how are you? Well I hope! So today I decided to try the Match perfection foundation from Rimmel and decided to do a first impression/review. This was a requested post, and I'm going to give you my honest opinion. Before I start I would like to say that every skin is different and this product may or may not work for me but it can work for you because like I said, everyone's skin is different. Alrighty, let's get started!

The packaging: I really like the packaging, it's glass and it has a pump so it's way more easy, you can control the amount of product that you want and it's not messy.

What says in the packaging: In the packaging it says "Light perfecting radiance foundation" "SPF 18" "Traceless coverage foundation with advanced Smart-Tone technology for perfectly flawless skin under any light. Enhanced with Sapphire Radiance for an illuminating glow. Lasts all day"

Price: I purchased this foundation for 4,99 € which is ridiculously cheap, but I think it was on sale, I'm not sure. 

Colors: I bought in 200 soft beije, I believe there was 2 more colors, a lighter one and a darker one. I should have bought the lighter one because I bought the medium and I think it looks too dark on my skin, but it works. 

Coverage: I think it's medium coverage because I have some spots on my skin, I actually have a zit on my face and I can still see it, but it's ok. I didn't use any primer, or any setting powder to really see how the foundation works for it self and I think it did a good job, specially with the discoloration on my skin and the redness around my nose, it does look quite flawless but it can look cakey if overapplied, a little bit goes a long way.

My first impression: When I applied it for the first time my first thought was "wow too dark for me" but once you blend it in it looks quite good. The foundation smells a little bit like sunscreen, but I think it smells quite nice and it's very easy to blend. From 1-10 I give it an 8, I have oily combination skin and without any setting powder my face still looks good, but next time I would definitely use a powder. And if you want more coverage I would suggest you to use some concealer. But over all I think this is a good drugstore foundation.

And that's about it, I hope I helped you with this first impression/review, I gave you my honest opinion and if you would like to see more of these comment down bellow and suggest what you would like to se me reviewing next. Thank yo so much and don't forget to follow, it would mean the world! xoxo

My question for you: What's your favorite drugstore foundation?

Beauty haul - "Drugstore products"

Hello beauties? How are you doing on this lovely saturday? Yesterday I went shopping with my mum and I bought some makeup at my local drugstore and why not share it with you? I haven't tried any of this products yet so I don't know if it's good or not, so if you have ever tried any product let me know in the comments how you like them. 

The first product is this foundation from Rimmel, I actually bought it because it was so cheap and I know that a lot of people use it and I decided to give it a try. I think this isn't the original price because I bought it for 4,99 € which is ridiculously cheap. From all the products I bought this is the one I'm most excited about. Would you like a first impression/review?

Next are this two lipsticks from essence, I just recently heard of this drugstore makeup "essence" and a lot of people seem to enjoy it so I decided to buy a few products to see how I like it. 
The first lipstick is in "07 Natural Beauty" and it's a very subtle pink, it looks very natural on the lips.
The second one is in "05 Dare to be Nude" it's a nude/beije color, it looks very brown but on the lips it looks very natural.
Both lipsticks were 2,89 € which is very unexpensive aswell.

Next is this lipgloss, it's a very shiny lipgloss, in "022 Nude Kiss" and it was 2,29 €. I really like the color and also the applicator.

This is the only product that I was kinda hesitant to buy because I haven't heard anyone talk about it and I don't know if it's good or not but I decided to give it a try and it was also super cheap, 3,49 €. 

And finally, I also bought this lip balm and it was 1,19 €, it has a small amount of product but it's understandable because it was very cheap. And it's in mango icecream (it smells/tastes amazing, if I could I would literally eat it haha).



And this is the end of the haul, I hope you enjoyed this post. I love buying drugstore makeup not only because its cheap but also because there's really good products as well. Please let me know in the comments if you would like to see a first impression/review on any product. Don't forget to follow me, it would mean the world! Thank you so much, xoxo.
