Makeup Revolution Haul

I love makeup. Unfortunately, my budget is very limited at the moment, which is not good for this love affair of mine.
A few months ago, I got to try a few products by Makeup Revolution, and I knew immediately that I was before a brand that was not only cheap, but with great quality too! And we know how rare that is!

Last week, one of my favourite online stores for beauty products, Perfumaria Primor, was having a "buy 3, pay 2" deal in most of its brands, and I decided it was the perfect time to buy a few goodies. I really wanted to try some of  Makeup Revolution 1£ products, and these were the ones I chose:

- Pure Pigments on "Etiquette" and "Agonise" - Such a nice color pay-of! Etiquette is like a muted lilac browny color, and Agonise is a rich copper color.

- Lipsitck in "Treat" - My lips but better color. It kind of reminds my of a Kylie Jenner kind-of-color...

- Powder blush in "Love" - a soft baby pink color, great for days you dont want your cheeks to stand out.

- Eyeshadow in "Hung Up" - A matte light brown color, that I personally love to use on my whole lid with a massive cat liner.


And this was my litte purchase. I am yet to try these on a propper makeup look yet, would you like some swatches then?

Parfois Flower Cufs

Parfois Flower ear cufs, 6,99€

In busy mornings, I usually forget to put on my acessories. Yeah, that's a major no-no for a self-proclaimed fashion lover, but truth be told, most mornings I'm just rushing to get out of my bedroom and its good enough if I'm fully dressed.

But I love shiny pretty things, such as earrings.

The problem with earring is that I dont find them very appealing with my face shape/loose hair combo. I usually go for short earrings, but sometimes you just want to look a little extra-extra, y'know?

That's why I fell in love with these babies. They're a statement piece, but they restringed to the ear are so they dont hang dangling all day in my neck, plus they don't make my face look all chubby. And boy, they look cute!

I guess we'll be very happy together this season.

As manhãs são sempre caóticas por aqui. Apesar de o meu despertador tocar bem cedo, normalmente distraio-me com o meu tablet e quando dou conta estou uns 10 minutos atrasada para o trabalho. Oh vida, entre escolher ir nua para a rua, ou abdicar dos acessórios... Bem, está um bocado frio para andar nua, né?

Além disso, acho que os brincos não me favorecem particularmente, com a minha estrutura óssea ou cabelo solto, que geralmente uso. É por isso que apesar de adorar brincos longos, acabo por escolher os curtinhos e leves no dia-a-dia...

Mas isso mudou quando vi estes bebés, tão brilhantes e femininos. Apesar de longos, mantém-se apenas na orelha, por isso não tenho de os sentir baloiçar junto ao pescoço todo o dia nem fazem a minha cara parecer tão rechonchuda. E além do mais, são podres de giros, dando um up a qualquer visual apressado!

Acho que vamos ser muitos felizes nos próximos tempos.

A nude love affair

First of all, lets just take a second to notice my gently tanned legs. Done? Okay.

I found these babies on Stradivarius, and they were a major find in the sales department. I've been looking for the perfect pair of nude heels for so long, you can imagine how happy I was to get these - the last pair in my size!
And for just 9.99€, they're my sweathearts of the moment.

1ª encomenda na perfumaria Primor (pt post)

Olá meninas, desta vez decidi escrever em portugês porque acho que este post terá especial interesse para as leitoras lusas :)

Há uns dias, através da Bel , descobri a Perfumaria Primor, que se trata de um site de venda de cosméticos e perfumes espanhol. Ora bem, para quem está familiarizado com a Maquillalia, é um site semelhante... Mas com muitas mais vantagens! 

Para além da variedade de marcas e artigos, dos preços consideravelmente mais baixos e de terem promoções constantemente, para mim a maior vantagem é que os portes são gratuitos em compras a partir de 10€! E chegam a nossa casa no prazo máximo de 72 horas, o que é óptimo quando estamos aniosas por experimentar um produtinho novo, ahah!

Já há muito tempo que queria experimentar o endurecedor da Mavala, mas o preço sempre me demoveu de o comprar (cerca de 20€ na Perfumes e Companhia, ou cerca de 16€ na Feelunique.com). Quando vi que na Primor ele custava apenas 5€, isso mesmo, 5 EUROS, nem foi tarde nem foi cedo: toca a adicioná-lo ao carrinho!

E com o Verão aí à porta, andava desejosa de comprar um primer pela primeira vez, e de forma a obter portes gratuitos decidi encomendar este primer da Rimmel, que tinha óptimas reviews na internet, e que custou apenas 6,14€.

Recebi também de oferta um gel bronzeador da marca Tropic (que não conheço), e que ainda não experimentei, mas posso desde já adiantar que tem um cheiro delicioso a cocô!

Creio que a Primor conquistou mais uma cliente, e a partir de agora este será sem dúvida um dos meus sites de eleição.

E vocês, já conheciam esta loja online?

New in: crop tops

I told you this was bound to happen.

Just a few days after I wrote the post about my latest obsession, I went shopping and could not keep my hands away from these babies.

I tried them on with  a little disbelief at first, but was pleasently surprised to find that they actually looked good on me!

Now I just need a little sunshine to rock these babies out.

Ebay Picks #1

I love Ebay.

No, I'm not overstating this: I really love Ebay. My life changed since I started buying online. I'm mean, let's look at it this way: You read a lot of international blogs. You watch a lot of Youtube videos. You hear about brands that are not available nowhere near you, physically. And the more you know you dont have acces to those things, the more you crave them.

But unfortunately, Portugal stores can't year your crying and the brands you like never come to stores. And when they do, they cost a lot more than in other countries.

Thats where Intenet comes in! 

Anyway, enough rambling. 

I was telling you that I really like Ebay, not only because it allows me to get things that otherwise I could not get in stores, but also because if find such great deals in there. Cheap clothes and accesories, every girl's wonderland!

Of course the quality is not always the best. Well, I guess you get what you pay for. But for me quality is not a priority when it comes to a few statement, seasonal pieces.

The first thing I wanted to show its these pink high waisted shorts. Pastels are so in right now that I just had to get something pink for me. Nothing to do with pink being my favourite color, by the way.

Quality? Meh. The fabric is not the best, nor the cut. They are significantly different from the picture shown in thewebsite. But they were less than 5€, and I still thing I'll be wearing them a lot in summer.

Let's keep the pink theme here.

The second purchase its this fushia blouse. I really like chiffon blouses because they looks great tucked in jeans or skirts or shorts, and add a pop of color to any outfit.

Its just like the picture shown, and I happy with purchase. 

The best part? It was only 3€.

Do you ever buy stuff on Ebay? 

I'd love to know if you like these kind of posts, so let me know in the comments. Also, let me know if you want any of thelinks to these pieces!
