January Favs 2014

Hey guys, I’m back with a new post: January favourites. This month I have been enjoying different products that I am going to show you.
Let’s get started ———>
Beauty favourites
-Covergirl Flamed Up Mega Curl Mascara: one of my friends gave it to me for Christmas and since then I have been using it every day. It makes your lashes really big and nice!
-Maybelline Foundation Super Stay Better Skin: I really like this product because it makes your skin flawless.
-Beauty Blender : I bought one a few weeks ago just to give it a try and I found out that it is amazing to apply foundation. I recommend it to everyone who doesn’t like brushes to apply foundation.
-L’Oreal Tripla Attiva Fresh: my mum bought it for me and I highly recommend it to everybody. I always used to use wipes to remove makeup but I found out that this product really helped my skin so give it a try!
-Nuxe Tonique: I had never really used one but after trying it once, I couldn’t have enough. It helped my skin, too because ,even though you might think that makeup removers removes all the makeup, it is not true. In fact the tonique is the one that removes all the remaining makeup.

Non-Beauty Products:
-The Carrie Diaries: it is an amazing series with one of the hottest guy ever (Austin Butler)
-Girl Code: it is a funny series and gives helpful pieces of advice
-Tumblr: I have been really into it!
-Miley Cyrus and Bangerz: the songs of the album are really nice and a big news is that me and my friend are going to Miley’s concert! We are really excited! 🙂

 

So, these are all the things I have been enjoying during January. I hope you liked this post, talk to you soon 🙂

New Year’s Eve Makeup Ideas

After a long year, a special evening always comes: I am,of course, talking about New Year’s Eve, where not only the clothes,but even makeup, are considered. Unless your plans are watching the ball drop at home wearing pajamas, you surely need to think about what to wear, which,unfortunately, I can’t provide you this time as I’m still trying to figure out myself, and makeup. During New Year’s Eve, makeup must be sparkly and different from the one you do everyday. In fact, actually, the golden rule in every New Year’s Eve is only one: shine, always be on top with your personal look and have that glam touch envied by everyone! 🙂

So, let’s get started! ———->

FOR THE FACE:

1. As the night is long and you want your makeup to last, I suggest that you apply a face primer.

2.Then apply with your fingers or with a brush your favorite foundation and some concealer to cover blemishes or dark under eyes circles.

3. Take a face brush or a puff and apply some loose powder to set foundation and concealer.

4. Apply a baby pink blush to your cheekbone.

5. To get a tanned look, I suggest that you take a bronzer (even the ones with some glitters in it) and apply it to your temples, cheeks and lower jaw in a 3 shape.

FOR THE EYES:

For the eyes I decided to show you a smokey eye look in metallic and sparkly shades.

1. To make the eyeshadows last longer, I suggest that you apply a primer on your eyelid.

2. As a base, I use a nude color (n.1) from my Sephora Purple Smokey Eyes palette.

3. Then I apply the eyeshadow “Underground” from the Bad Girl palette by Sleek to my eyelid.

4. After that I take the eyeshadow “Noir” from the same palette and apply it from the middle of the lid to the outer lid.

5. Then I take the eyeshadow “Gun Metal” and apply it to the crease and a little bit to the outer lid.

6. I take a soft brush and blend all the eyeshadows together.

7. I take  white shimmery eyeshadow and apply it to the middle of the lid.

8. I take the eyeshadow “Innocence” and apply it under the brows and in the inner conner to highlight.

9. I apply some black liquid eyeliner. This time I used the pen one.

10. Finally, I take my favorite mascara and apply it to both to my top and bottom eyelashes to define the look.

FOR THE LIPS:

For the lips you can decide whether to complete the look in a strong way or to go for a nude look.

So, for a strong look I suggest a bright red lipstick to highlight your lips.

Instead, if you want to go for a nude look, I suggest a baby pink lipstick that,matched with a lip gloss, is the right makeup to feel comfortable on New Year’s Eve.

So, I wish you a happy new year and I hope all your dreams will come true in 2014! Thank you all,

talk to you next year hahahaha! xoxo

Christmas!

Outfit ideas for Christmas!

Hello everyone! Christmas is coming in few days so today I want to show you 3 different outfits that I picked up for you guys! I hope you like them!:-)

Let’s get started ———>

-1st outfit: This first outfit is the most casual but still looks pretty. If you are a person who doesn’t really like wearing dresses or skirts this is perfect for you. In fact, in this outfit I am wearing a sparkly sweater with some gold details (unfortunately, you can’t see them in the picture), a pair of dark-wash skinny jeans and a pair of brown booties. I think this outfit is really comfortable and nice and, to make it look even prettier, I added some accessories: 2 golden rings (one with a key and the other one with an heart) from Forever 21 and a leather bracelet from Brandy Melville. For the hair, I think that this outfit is perfect with a messy fishtail braid.

-2nd outfit: This outfit is the most girly one and looks amazing. It is perfect if you are a person who loves wearing dresses and skirts but you can wear it even if you just want to look a little bit girly just because it is Christmas. This is why I paired it with some white Converse, but, of course, you can wear heels or flats. The dress I am wearing is a plain burgundy/red dress with some lace details in the back and it fits every body shape, in particular it highlights the breast. Then, I added some jewels: a white bracelet with a big heart and two golden rings again from Forever 21. For the hair, I think that this outfit would look perfect with some loose waves.

 

-3rd outfit: This outfit is perfect if you are that type of person who loves dressing like Tumblr girls. In fact, in this outfit I am wearing a pair of high-waisted black shorts that almost look like a skirt with a Christmassy/wintery sweater. I also added a burgundy scarf ’cause, of course, scarves can’t be missed! As it is winter and it is cold outside, I am wearing some black sheer tights and knee-socks (which I have been my obsession this month). For the shoes, I am wearing some black Doc. Martens. I also added some jewels: 2 silver bracelets (one from Gucci and the other one was a gift) and I cross ring from Brandy Melville. For the hair, I think that this outfit would look perfect with a messy side braid.

So, these are my outfit ideas for Christmas. I hope you like them and Merry Christmas to everyone! 🙂

Christmas Bedroom Decoration+Home Decoration

Hello everyone! In one week Christmas will be here and, of course, we must decorate our bedroom and home to make it look more christmasy! 🙂

So let’s start with my bedroom ——>

To make it look brighter I decided to put some small lights (the one you put on your Christmas tree) on my wall. Then, on my dresser, I put some decorations and candles, which will make your room look nicer and cozier!  But be sure not to stay too close from them because you could burn yourself or hair!

My decorations includes angels, snowman, Santa Claus, nativity scene… (the other pictures will be at the end of the post)

As Christmas is my favourite time of the year I decided to decor my room a lot and something easy but nice I did is to take some tree adornments and put them on my wall with some tacks. I also sticked a picture of Katy Perry dressed as a snowman, a red snowflake, a pottery decoration and a small sleigh made of wood.

Now let’s move on to the sitting hall ——->

Here, of course, the Christmas tree can’t miss! So me and my family did one and it is amazing! Then we bought I really nice pottery object which represent a boy and we just put some decorations all over the room. (other pictures will be at the end of the post)

And, of course, we decorated the outside of the house too with some lights on the plants, a wreath and some christmasy stuff.

So, I hope you liked this post and that it has inspired you to spice your house up!

Write to you soon, bye! 🙂

November Favourites 2013

So, December is finally here and I can’t wait for Christmas! I really love that time of the year! Today I am going to show you my November Favourites. Let’s get started! ———>

BEAUTY PRODUTS

There aren’t many of them ’cause,unfortunately, I didn’t have the opportunity to try out many products. Anyway, my favourites are:

-BOBBI BROWN lipgloss/lipstick. They are so soft on your lips and the one I have doesn’t have a number or shade on it unfortunately, but it is pink/coral.

-SONIA KASHUK BARE MINIMUM PRESSED POWDER BRONZER golden-48

-BABY LIPS Quenched. I find my normal lip balm more moisturizing but I like it, too!

-ATOMIC VOLUME MASCARA by SEPHORA. I have already talked about this product in a previous post but I love it to death and I highly recommend it!

NON-BEAUTY FAVOURITES

-KILLER QUEEN by KATY PERRY. OMG I LOVE this perfume so much and especially the small bottle!

-HUNGER GAMES:CATCHING FIRE. I truly love this movie and this is why I went to the cinema to see it twice! It is the best movie I have seen this year so far and if you haven’t watched it yet, you absolutely have to! Trust me, you won’t regret it!:-)

-KITKAT. I am obsessed with them and I eat them once in a while becausethey aren’t exactly healthy but they are so yummy! You must give it a try!

-A pair of black pants/leggings that I showed you in “A week in my style”. I like them because they are super confy and everything looks good on them.

So, these are all the products I have been enjoying this month. I hope you liked this post and talk to you soon!;-)

How to get Smokey Eyes

Hello everyone! I always try to write once a week but this last week has been very tiring for me as I had tests everyday at school and I also had an exam on Saturday! Anyway, today I want to show you how to get smokey eyes step-by-step. Smokey Eyes have been a trend for such a long time and they don’t seem to be disappearing. Smokey Eyes can be done in every color: it’s up to you!:-) Today I am going to show you the classic one that is created with grey/black one. It suits every eyes color and it is quite easy to do and gives you a more sophisticated look. Let’s get started! ——–>

1. If you want your eyeshadow to last longer I suggest you use a primer, which you simply swipe across the eye with your finger and wait for it to dry before moving onto the next step.

2. For the base take a light shimmery grey eyeshadow and sweep it over your entire eyelid.

3. Then take a very dark gray or a black eyeshadow and apply it beginning at the outside corner of your eyes and be sure to apply it not too far in.

4. Take a black and shimmery eyeshadow  and, using a crease brush, sweep it on your outer crease in a “>” shape.

5. Take a blend brush and blend in all the eyeshadows starting at the lash line and blending up.

6. Now take a white eyeshadow and apply it under you eyebrows and in the inner corner of your eyes to highlight your eyes. Then take a eye pencil in butter and apply it to the lower water line.

6. Apply mascara both on the upper lashes and on the bottom ones.

 

7. If you want a more dramatic look use an eyeliner to do a thin line. As I personally don’t really like eyeliner as I thing it doesn’t look good on me, I prefer to draw a line with a black pencil towards the outer lid.

I hope you find this post interesting, and these two pictures show the finish look. Thank you and talk to you soon! 🙂

 

A week in my style!

Hello everyone! I’m back with a new kind of post: a fashion one! In this post I want to show you what I have been wearing this week at school. Let’s get started ———>

On Monday I wore a pair of Abercrombie and Fitch jeans, a Brandy Melville blue hoodie an,of course, my adorable white Converse!

On Tuesday I wore some black leggings/pants with a creme sweater and a burgundy scarf. Scarves are my MUST duringfall,winter and spring, I LOVE them! For the shoes I went with some Dr. Martens.

 

On Wednesday I wore some blue jeans with a sweater with stripes in maroon and beige. To complete the outfit I put on a brown scarf. For the shoes I wore again my pair of Dr. Martens, but this time I also wore some burgundy socks under them.

On Thursday I wore the same pants as Tuesday but this time I paired them with a Forever 21 grey and black long-sleeved t-shirt and a black veiled jacket. Again, I wore the burgundy (which,as you may understand, is my favourite color) scarf and the white Converse.

Finally, on Friday, as I have P.E. at school, I wore some blue joggers, a Ralph Lauren fuchsia (?) long-sleeved t-shirt and, as it was freaking cold outside, I wore an Aeropostale navy blue jacket. And,again, I wore the white Converse.

I hope you liked this new post and let me know in the comments below if you would like to have more of them. Thank you all and bye! 🙂
