Most Wanted of the Moment

Well hello there my little loves! :)

Today I bring you a kind of 'My Most Wanted' list of beauty products. You see, I'm at one of those dreaded moments when a lot of the super essential products you have, finish at the same time. So you have to buy them again, at once, which leaves you no money for new stuff... So all I can do is lust after things I can't have, and muster all my self control.

Lucky for me there aren't that many. Even I am surprise... I guess I've been more into clothes this past month... Which I can't buy, also! Fun times! But let's get started! (so many exclamations points! I'm not that excited, I swear!)

The entire Dior collection for S/S 2014! Yes, ALL of it! Well... Maybe skip the eyeshadows, I'm not crazy for dior eyeshadows, but the rest... Oh... Pastel galore mixed with some really bright colours! I love me some pastel. The lipsticks, oh my god the lipsticks! So puuurfect. If you haven't seen it, go check it out. Maybe you have the money for it and you can be happy for both of us. Hint, the coral lipstick and the blue nailpolish *starts to drool*

Now, a little bit more specific. Lipstick shade no. 32 of the YSL S/S collection. I mean... do I need to say anything else? It's a YSL lipstick... I try not be a sucker for packaging, because quality is what matters, yada, yada... But, do I need to say anything else? It's a YSL lipstick! However, wait a minute, I do have one in my makeup collection (and I think I hear it crying at night, because it feels lonely, just saying) and it's really good quality, not the most long lasting, but very creamy. So it's a win, win, situation.

Artdeco Sensitive Fine Liner, because I've been in the hunting for a nice felt tip liner for ages, and never found one I really, really, liked. Don't even know if I'll like this one either, but would like to try it. Heard a couple of people talking about it too, on youtube. And it says sensitive fine liner which is a good thing, because most of those liners are only useful if we want to go Amy Winehouse.

Stilla's Magnificent Metals Foil! This is such an exciting product! Maybe it's the biochemistry in me, but I mean, it comes with a mixing medium. How can that not be exciting? I always get curious about gimmicky products, and this one really looks pretty and shimmery. I wanted the shade dusty rose, but I'm not sure you can get a hold of that one anymore. You might, I don't know because there's no Stilla in Portugal (wakey wakey sephora.pt) Anyway, I'll be happy with other shade too, I'm a simple person.

Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation. Again, never tried it, not even in my hand, but Wayne from Goss Makeup Artist just made me need it! Don't even know what else to say about this one, it's just one of those things. You don't need it, you don't know why you want it, you just know you do.

And that will be it for today my beauties. I need to go and cook something for dinner... Yey...! Hope you had a great Wednesday.

Stay Gorgeous!

Chatty VDay Post

Hey little fishies! (no I don't have an animal obsession!)

First... SPOILER ALERT: PLEASE RUI PEDRO IF YOU'RE READING THIS, STOP NOW!

Hope your day was amazing, because mine was just blah... The most exciting part was buying my boyfriend's VDay Gift! A big bag of candy. I get so excited choosing the different candy even though I'll probably just eat one or two, gotta have self control. My boyfriend is one of those weird, annoying, people, who can eat whatever and don't gain a pound! Urgh... Damn him and his light speed fast metabolism!

Anyway, this post will be about VDay, but nothing serious, just a little rambling. I never really cared much about Valentines Day, not even after getting a boyfriend. We just cook a nice meal, some popcorn and a movie, and for me it's perfect. And if there's gifts it's just a little something, like a bag of candy. This year will actually be the first time we'll do something different.

However, I know that for some people, who might not have a boyfriend, or maybe going through a rough time in their relationships, this time of the year can be really annoying! With the cheesy hearts and 'I love you!' Teddy Bears everywhere.

I spent most of my life without a boyfriend on Valentines Day. I've been with my boyfriend for almost 5 years now (and it's my first relationship, believe it or not), and I am 24, so do the math. Throughout highschool I never had a date for VDay, and you know what, I didn't care. I had amazing friends, never really needed a boy. Maybe I didn't mature as fast as other girls, I don't know. I mean, I was always having so much fun with my group of friends, that now, looking back, I don't feel like a missed on anything.

So, for tomorrow, quit the plan of curling into a ball, in a dark room, watching a marathon of Bridget Jones, while stuffing your face with ice cream, just because there's no boyfriend. You have a date with the person you should love the most in this world! Yourself! So if you feel like going out (it's Friday after all) put on that freakum dress (like my girl Beyoncé says), call a friend, and go have some fun. Or stay home if that's more to your liking, but no feeling sorry for yourself!

When you less expect it, you'll meet some guy that will swept you of your feet, and just like that, you're in serious relationship! And those take commitment, and time, and attention, so don't rush into one unless it's absolutely worth it. Sometimes they work, and you spend the rest of your life together (shoutout to my parents, until now at least), sometimes they don't, it's life. The good thing is that there's no limited tickets. Or you can also order the cat lady starters packaging, it's always good to have a plan B.

Wow, that was a long post, are you still there? If you are have a great day tomorrow! I'll try to post a video, so if you don't have a date I can keep you company :)

Big internet HUGS!

Stay Gorgeous!

Makeup Geek Eyeshadows Reviews&Swatches

Hello beauties!

How was that Monday? Hope you started the week in the best way! (Even though it's difficult... I know... I know...) Anyway, today I bring you a little review. A glowing review I might add.

I'm a girl who likes me some good quality makeup, but I don't really like to spend loads of money on it. I think that's the same for everyone, unless you're like some Paris Hilton! (In that case... Heeeey guuuurl! Still in need of a friend) I'm joking (No I'm not) my friendship is not for sale (yes it is).

So I get very happy when I find something that has amazing quality, at a price that doesn't make my credit card weep. That was what happened with the Makeup Geek products I bought. I've been curious about them ever since Marlena released the collection, but I'm kind of skeptic about buying makeup on the internet, not seeing the colour in person and stuff.

However, Jacklin Hill (if you don't know her, go check her out like... NOW! ugh, she's amazing) started talking about them non-stop, and raving about them. Finally I placed an order for five eyeshadows and a pigment. I definitely don't regret it and now I just want them all!

From left to right: Creme Brule; Homecoming; Goddess; Peach Smoothie; Cosmopolitan

The pigmentation of the eyeshadows is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Also they are really creamy, only Peach Smoothie is a little bit more powdery, but I still love it (perfect for a transition colour). They are also very affordable, only $5.99, half the price of a MAC eyeshadow, and quite as good. You have a lot of colour to choose from, from neutrals to blues, greens...

Afterglow Pigment

 The pigment that I bought, Afterglow, is gorgeous, nothing else to say about it, honestly. Perfection. The only thing I don't like is the packaging, not very practical. When you open there's a lot of product that falls and is waisted. And again the price is great, only 6.99.

I have to congratulate Marlena for taking this approach with her makeup brand. Creating amazing products at an affordable price. It only proves that she knows her audience is diverse, and not everyone has money for high end makeup. I really think this is the way to go.

And this is all for today =) Tomorrow there's a special video on the channel, until then free internet hugs for everyone!

Stay Gorgeous!
