NYX haul

Hey Beauties!

So today i received a packaging and guess what...

New NYX products :D

I bought them from a Portuguese online store called Lojinha da Janina

I love the store it's my second purchase and probably not the last !!

2 lipsticks - 4.50€ each

1 Jumbo eye pencil - 5.25€

Left to right:

Fig LSS640

Pure Nude LSS 518A

Milk 604

I had a bad experience in the past with another store where i ordered a lipstick without looking at the finish of it so i ended up getting a frost finish one which i absolutely hate *waste of money*

For these 2 lipsticks i went directly to the NYX website and searched for the finish and i chose Cream Finish (much better)

The White Jumbo eye pencil is one of those things everyone should have to make the eyeshadows pop!! Finally i got mine!

The price is really affordable for the quality it seems to have so i'm pleased that i got these!

I consider it my first NYX order since the last one was a mistake... and i have the swatches from the lipsticks to show you :

Top to bottom:

Pure Nude

Fig

I love the texture of it and the colour pay off is also good

The Pure Nude is a bit pink compared to my skin tone but i really like it , it seems to fit really well on my lips The Fig one is a bit darker than i expected it to be but honestly i need to try new shades a bit out of my comfort zone!

The jumbo eye pencil - no need for review everyone brags about it all the time and i'm completely agreeing with them!

In general , i am really satisfied about the 3 products as i said i only received them today so i can't review them properly but as a first impression it really impressed me ;)

Have you ever tried NYX products? Which ones?

Tell me what you think about the brand's quality and price ;)

Thanks for reading, have a nice weekend!

In confession, random

Confession #1

Hey everybody!!

Today i have a confession to make to you...

I collect bags from stores... i don't know why, i just like them and keep them for myself..
The thing is.. i organize them per store so i know which stores i go often... and it's not a surprise:

for clothing

for accesories

(pharmacy) for make up...

These stores are the ones i have an enormous ammount of bags..

The others i reach most of the times are:

makeup

clothing

books

(for the matter i don't go to kiko as much as i wanted to ... 'cause i don't have any store close to me but every time i go there i spend loads of money...)

There are stores that i wished i have near me such like Kiko, Sephora, Primark, H&M ...
But we're not that bad ... Our mall is really great and have some stores that i love such as the ones i talked in the first place ..

Which stores do you prefer to shop on?

Leave comments below ;)

Thanks for reading,

In beauty, eyeliner

Purple Beauty Day

Hey Sweethearts!!
I was wondering if i should have a theme where i can show you my products and opinions about them... so i thought why not having a day for each colour ?
As you can read from the tittle today the Queen is PURPLE !!

Starting with the eyeshadows... i know.. i'm a bit crazy for purple but it's one of my favourite colours to wear and i think it suits brown eyes really well..
I Love these eyeshadows, some more than others but in general i use them all :D

(Swatches with Essence I Heart Stage eyeshadow base)

From the left to right i will tell you the name or the palette it belongs to:

1 - Essence Smokey Eyes Set - 03 Purple Maniac

2 - Kiko Infinity eyeshadow Mat Wisteria - 252

3 - Kiko eyeshadow 158

4 - Wet n Wild Petal Pusher 736 palette (3rd eyeshadow from the left side)

5 - Essence Colour & shine eyeshadow - 03 Wear it!

6 - Gosh Trio Pink Sunset

7 - Catrice Absolute Eye Colour - 280 Heidi Plum

8 - Oriflame Very Me Duo - Iced Purple

9 - MUA Glamour Nights Palette

One thing i love is a pop of colour in my water line and bottom lashes! so here's some eye pencils i use ;)

Let me tell you a secret .. since the moment i found the Kiko smart eye pencil i don't use the others anymore... but someday i'll find a way to use them!

Moving onto the eyeliners and mascara

Left to right:

Kiko definition waterproof eyeliner 06

Kiko Smart Eye pencil 806

Kiko Glamorous eye pencil 404

Essence Long Lasting eye pencil 16 Coolest Chic

Avon Kajal Stick Purple

Kiko Super Colour Mascara 01

Swatches from top to bottom :

(the same sequence above )

Finally the nails :D

I only have 4 shades of purple (surprisingly)

I did the swatches on tape 'cause it shows the same as if it was in real nails:

(sorry for the bad quality but it shows the colours really well)

From left to the right:

Cliché Purpura

Kiko Mirror Nail Lacquer - 622

Kiko Nail Lacquer - 338

Essence Colour & Go 87 Passion for Fashion

As you can see i love purple mostly for the eyes but in general i'm a Purpulish girl (if this makes any sense)

Tell me what do you think about the theme!!

What colours do you want me to share with you?

Which thing you prefer in Purple?

Leave me a comment below telling your favourite purple beauty/fashion things ;)

Thanks for reading ;)

Have a nice week,

In Manchester City,

Manchester City - Champions League #1

Hello ;)

today i have something a little bit different...

This is one of my passions..

It all started with my Fiancé that's addicted to football.. i guess it's explained...

I love this team, i can't even express how much i love to watch them play, i never thought in a million years i would like football this much but i do.. and sometimes it brings pain... the losses and the player's injuries... the players that leave ...

I know them for 3 years now and i never watched football as much as i watch them.. my original team is Futebol Clube do Porto (FCP) from Portugal (where i was born and live) i like them and everything but the team of my Heart is MCFC..

Today began Champions League, if you like football or if you're european you know it's an european competition where the best teams of each country plays and at the end it will be picked the best European Team of the season...

So, we won!!!! We played away and we won 3-0 against Viktoria Plzen..

Couldn't be more happy!

Manchester City Football Club

I really love this team and i'm here waiting for them to have a wonderful season !

Kiko [CLICS] System

Hey everybody,
Today i have something new to show you: it's a custom eyeshadow system and you can buy cases from 1, 3, 4, 9 and 24
They offer 96 range of colours, a pretty good amount of colours to choose i think :D

Eyes Clics 04

Empty eyeshadow Case - 4,90€

Matte black made of plastic.
"The palette has a magnetic closure allowing for easy opening and closing."

it comes in this packaging - 2g / 0.08 OZ.

and i think its amazing to have a free system , you only buy the colours you want to

Infinity eyeshadow 200 - 4,90€

Infinity eyeshadow 275 - 4,90€

Infinity eyeshadow 273 - 4,90€

Infinity eyeshadow 252 - 4,90€

24,50€

Pure White - 200

Mat Light Sky Blue - 273

Mat Wisteria - 252

Eletric Blue - 275

swatches without primer

i think they're pretty good but in doubt you always can swatch them in stores :)

I'll do some looks using this palette and i'll have a more informative opinion about them.

The price is affordable for the quality it seems to have, so i think its a good investiment

you can always wait for the sales season it probably goes down some cents.

I really like the concept and i recomend it ;)

In update,

Quick update

Hey lovely people,

i don't update this very much 'cause my camera is always breaking so it's not easy to take good quality pictures for you to see.. since i'm moving with a friend and she has a good camera i'm thinking about invite her to join the blog and she takes care of the photos and write some articles as well...

Let's see if she accepts the challenge..

Quick update, i'm waiting for various orders i made and they'll come at the end of this month so hopefully i'll have a great camera to show you what i ordered and then tell you how i feel about everything :)

Have a wonderful week ;)

In opinion,

High-end Makeup alternative palettes (personal opinion)

Hey lovely people, today i'm going to do a quick post on my opinion about the High end makeup alternative palettes.. so as you may know many palettes are sold on platforms claming to be the perfect dupes if not the original of high end palettes ..

One of the most viewed are Naked , Naked 2 and some of Urban Decay... Let me tell you something, this brands are sold in official stores like Sephora, you can have the originality guarateed and its really important... take a minute to think about it... if Naked is sold for 40+ € and you find it being sold fo 15€ what you're going for? Of course, the cheapest one.. but do you ever thought of where it was made? wich products they used? if it's not a true palette which guaraties do you have about the safety of using it? nones..

I have no high end products, i consider them too expensive and if i can buy 'original' makeup from cheapest brands i will... but one thing i know.. i will not put my health into risk buying somthing i don't know where it's from... Sephora is a world known store who sells mundial well known makeup... if i have the need to say something bad about the products i can contact the owners of it ... if you buy something from someone who doesn't know where it's from... you have to take care of everything by yourself.. we're talking about our skin, our eyes, sensitive part of our body that it shouldn't be exposed to things we don't know well..

Think about it, it's not that i'm trying to tell you 'don't buy those alternatives' it's more like 'pay attention to not regret later'..

It's my personal opinion and i don't expect you to agree but i am certainly sure if someday i want a high end makeup product i'll go to the mall and buy it from a store that guarantees me quality and safety.

In dark, Draw

Passion #1

Hey lovely people,

Today my post is going to be about one of my passions, to draw.

i went to arts in Secondary School and i'm about to do Bakery this year and the next ones...

While i was at arts i lost some of my passion for it, however i learned so many things that wouldn't trade for anything in the world.. it was a good experience and it teached me about the art supplies how they work what they are for.. those things i wouldn't learn alone (i'm too lazy to search about things, even if i'm completely in love with it)

Since school ended i felt the need to do something again, not particulary drawing but i have the constant need of lefting something to people , my art, my letters , something that makes people remember me...

So i ended up drawing again..

this is the result the past week i've been drawing every single day more than once per day ... it all came back again and i have to thanks to Klaire de Lys 'cause she inspired me so much!!

I know i don't draw like an angel but i love to do it and i'll improve my skills more and more.

Hope you like it ,
