How do we start this, I went to Portugal and Catrice happened! I mean this happened! I don't have any other excuse than it's one of my favourite brands in the drugstore and since we can't get hold of it in the UK , for now, I always snap as much as I can when in holiday! I've been wanting to get so many of their Fall/Winter products that I was very glad to see my wishlist going down! 

I'm late to the party, once again! A bit early at the same time as I've seen the new design of this foundation bottle and it looks fantastic!  Apart from all those little things I have a very mixed review coming up on this.

To start off my first impression was 'this is not what I was expecting' in a bad way! Blame my skin or the foundation itself but it looked awful! My Kiko Universal Fit does a way better job than this and comes cheaper!

What a journey! By this time I finished what seems to be my 100th slice of Domino's pizza that I don't regret but still feel all the fat coming to me, sooner or later. Healthier life I said back in the day right? Not happening right now but hopefully soon.

Something is about to change, what sounds to be a great life in London has become more of a what I don't want for me... ever! 

Do I regret coming here? No, but the things I had to go through at some points were not the best! Even thou I'm thankful for them... now I give much more value to the upcoming ones! 

Sleek Precious Metals Highlighting palette finally came to my collection and I couldn't be happier about it! I've been all over highlights lately and this is the perfect addition to make skin glow all day and look divine!

With 3 creams and 1 powder you can use this for endless purposes giving the perfect purse palette for those who look for glowy looks on a daily basis! I sure will take it with me on my next trip to Portugal!

As you can expect not all of the shades suit my skin tone to be highlighters so I tend to try them in other ways where I take the most out of each product! 

Skincare changes every once in a while and since my skin has been through many fases, due to its combination complexion, I sure am always switching up products!

Late to the party, as always, The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil (11£) made its way to my routine and its going nowhere! 

I'm not one to buy a product for the hypes, I like to have my own opinions on things, mostly be prepared for the not so great points of it, this was no exception. When I first bought it I had in mind I would like to try a cleansing oil and this was on my list for a while so I gave in.

H&M has been one of my favourite places to buy clothes from, affordable and cute things that actually suit my not so usual taste so when I heard about them doing a proper makeup line I was wowed!

First off I was not expecting that much of a choice of product and colour and since I was tempted to buy everything from the store I forced myself to grab just a few items, all for eyes! How shocking right! I know I don't need more eyeshadows nor eyeliners but they were so pigmented and I couldn't resist! I'm hunting for their blushes and matte lipsticks now!!

The packaging is white, gold and black which makes it look fancy for a clothing makeup brand, if you know what I mean! Having an enormous range of different shades the eyeshadows were what blown me away the most! You can find different finishes, even full on glitter, different shades from neutrals to bold blues and greens and all very pigmented! I swatched almost every single shade and the buttery consistency is equal to all of them - impressed!

On the eyeliner department I decided to go for 2 pencil liners one in a copper shade and the other in a plum shade, both perfect for Fall! The liquid liner I got is a black with silver glitter that unfortunately doesn't show off as much as I'd like it to when dried on the eye lids! But that can be a good addition to a not so adventurous makeup lover to wear on night outs!

Overall the line is very good for the price as for what I've tried so far and definitely one to keep an eye out for future tries!

Fall is all over the place and I couldn't be more happy about it! By this time we would expect Halloween all over Mary Bloomy but with my tight schedule I honestly can't find the 5 minute break to do something properly to post. My apologies from now!

But, whenever I have the chance to wear some makeup I don't miss the shooting session and this time I came up with a look I for sure will wear again this season!

Long time no paint, my brain would say, my hands would miss the brush but my body would stay still. It was long ago the time I drew something from start to finish and as stupid as it sounds, I missed it. I used to pain every day during 3 years, then it started being once a week, once a month to nothing at all. Here I am. I still packed all my favourite watercolours, all my favourite paint brushes and papers but they've been sitting in a drawer for the past months. 

I am a very messy person, you can see by the shot above! I like having everything out so I can reach for what I need instantly and find some colour combinations I wouldn't think of at first! The hexagonal bowl served me well here to pour in my now green water and the lids of the eyeshadows from Kiko are great bases for watercolour paints. I work with what I have in hand and is what makes my paints a mess of shapes and colours! A representation of who I am, in a way!

As the time goes by I hope to improve my skills and make more of an effort to do what I love that doesn't involve my laptop or makeup!

Since I'm having the busiest time at the bakery working extra hours and extra days to get it all done in time and up to costumers expectations I decided it was time to share some of my favourite works till date. 

I've been working with buttercream for only 6 months now and as with everything in life it takes time to perfect it so if you're a pro on the matter judge me not if you spot some things here and there! 

Hopefully you'll enjoy seeing a bit more of my sweet side ;)
