CHERRY AUTUMN

CHERRY PURCHASE FOR A CHERRY AUTUMN

Hello everyone once again. 

It's been a long time since I wanted to buy a new lipstick to add to my collection; because I don't have that much shades or colours, and... to be honest, it can't really be considered a collection. 

I was looking for a red shade, one which wasn't too strong, as I don't like flashy colours on my lips. 

Today, I've been lucky enough to be able to go shopping with my granny and to visit my favourite high street. 

I went in and the assistant helped me finding what I was looking for. 

After trying loads of shades (I think they were 12 or so), I finally found what I was dreading to have. THE PERFECT LIPSTICK. 

It is from CLARINS PARIS, number 13 in Cherry. 

You might be asking yourselves why is it the PERFECT lipstick [if not I'll tell you anyway :)]. It is not a very strong lipstick; it is red, but its really moderate, not an excessively showy one. It is also glittery, it smells really good and it is supposed to last for a very long time. 

Today is the first day I wear it, and I have to say that I am already in love with it. 

It wasn't a cheap purchase, I have to admit that. It was not the most expensive one either, but still... I think it is worth the price, and that you'll see it in my future favourite videos. 

Lots of love

WELCOME TO THE NECKLACE WORLD

NECKLACES: YOUR BEST ALLIES

Imagine this situation: you're wearing your favourite outfit, the one you always wear on special occasions; but you're a little bit tired of wearing always the same basis. You need a change. 

So, instead of spending lots of money in a new outfit, you just have to spend a load less for a necklace; that way you'll have a much more complete look by adding just one item.  

It is incredible how much of a difference a necklace makes to an outfit; from an everyday basis to a date one. 

It adds a different touch to your attire and little bit more of glamour to you. Besides, they are a perfect accessory and really easy to match with anything; form a watch to some earrings. 

There are a lot of different types of necklaces, but the ones that I mostly use, as you can see, are the short ones. The explanation for that is that, as I have a long neck, they really suit me and my style.  

I normally wear them with shirts and blouses, with jumpers or even dresses to not to make my outfit as simple as it actually is. 

So, if you are looking forward to buying an accessory, I highly recommend you to purchase necklaces. You'll get into my world of loving-necklaces people.  

Lots of love,

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

While walking along my usual shopping street, I suddenly spotted in the highstreet (or drug-store, you name it)I normally go to this Chanel Promotion. 

There were some new products that they were advertising. 

I'm not the kind of person who buys expensive beauty products, but I thought I'd have a look, as they looked really intresting. 

And there it was. Double Perfection Lumière. 

It is powder makeup, something I was looking for, and it looked so nice and lasting, that I thought I'd give it a try.

I think I'll be able to use it for my every day makeup basis. It might go well with a light, natural look.  

This is not the type of makeup I usually buy, as I go for cheaper brands, but I have a great feeling about it. 

I hope this joins someday my "favourites" list. 

Lots of love,

LUCKY ME!

This week I've been able to have my nails done, and for free!
The sister of one of my guy friends was doing a course based on hand-care. She needed a hand model and she asked me (though maybe I wasn't the best option she had) if she could do some practice on my nails. 
I obviously agreed to it. 
The design is based on some pictures we found in We heart It, and the result is not that bad at all!
I really like them and wanted to share it with you, as this is the first time that I do something like this. 

Comment below what you think about them.

Thank you all for reading.

SEPTEMBER FAVOURITES

MY SEPTEMBER FAVOURITES

Though it might be a little late for this post, I wanted to do it anyway and show you all the things I've been loving the most last month and recommend some of them for you to use. 

September for me was really good. Leaving aside the fact that it is the month when classes start all over again, I had a lot of fun. I got the chance to go and visit quite a few places I've never been or haven't been in a long time. 

It is also the month where the hot weather starts to fade off, and the sun doesn't shine as bright and hot as before. Autumn approaches while the days get shorter and colder. 

The good news are that soon enough, we'll be able to wear the autumn-winter collection, which I love and will do a post about it later. 

So, with no further interruptions, here you have my September favourites. 

APIVITA - LIP CARE

The fist product I'll be showing you are this lip balms. They are from APIVITA, which is a brand whose products are 100% made out of natural ingredients. 

I loved them because they gave a little colour to my lips while they hydrated them. It is like a lipstick and a lip balm all in one product. The first one is with Pink Rose (which gives a really light pinky colour to your lips), and the second is with Pomegranate (which gives a stronger colour, but still perfect if you don't want to have your lips full coloured). 

I highly recommend these. They're very good and last for a looooong time. Plus, they taste incredibly good! 

Poly Swing - Hair Mousse - "Espuma Extra Volumen"

This is one of the things I purchased while in Spain. I'm not sure whether you can get it online or not, but I'm sure there are lots of products similar to this one. I just bought it because I remember my aunt using it when I was little, and I decided to try it. 

It is a Mousse that gives volume to your hair. So, if you, like me, have reaaaally straight hair, this product is just perfect. It helps your hair to get a little bit of shape and don't look as it normally does.

I really recommend it because it helps a lot, even in lazy hair days. You can just apply it to your hair and you're good to go. Also, it doesn't get your hair sticky or dirty at all. Plus, it smells deliciously good. 

Equivalenza perfume - Dolce and Gabbana "Emperatriz"

I've discovered this shop once I went shopping in Canterbury (though I am not from there at all) and I decided to go in and have a look. 

It turned up that that shop made perfumes out of natural ingredients that smelled exactly the same as perfumes from Dolce and Gabbana, Chanel, DKNY, etc. 

Apart from the fact that they were absolute copies, they are like 100 times cheaper than the original ones. 

So, as I was running out of it, I decided to buy the clone of my perfume in that shop and I am super happy with it. I couldn't tell the difference between the original and the clone. 

Now I know where to go to buy my perfume. I recommend you to try this shop if you have the chance to. 

Avène - Eau Thermale

This is perfect for those who, like me, have really sensitive skin. 
I started applying it after being under the sun for hours. 
It really has helped me when my skin was irritated. It calms your skin and at the same time it gives it minerals which will help your skin to get stronger and less sensitive. 
I've used it all September long and I feel a great improvement. 



So, this is it. I honestly can't wait for Christmas to come! That means: snow, presents, family and, of course, presents! 

Thank you all for reading. Please let me know in the comments below if you want to know anything else at all or if you have any suggestions at all. Don't be shy! 

My next post will be about clothes and essentials for this season. 

I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I loved writing it.
