2 in 1 Post

Hello everyone!

I am really sorry for being away for so long... I am so going to try to don't do this again ok?!

Well, as a apology today I am doing a 2 in 1 post! Ahahah  something that I just invented! So, I am going to talk about to things in the same post!

I have got some new makeup products that I'd like to share with you, but today I will talk about a nail polisher and about an iPhone lens.

So let's do it!



Well, as you all were able to see THE COLOR OF THE YEAR IS EMERALD! I got all this nail polish at the Sephora store! I don't really remember the price, but the color is pretty amazing, I would say, one of my favourite green color in a few times. So I have not tried this yet, but as soon as I know it's Sephora stuff, that's why I would say it is good!  The package is really practical, also is not just one nail polish are 3! I guess it is pretty worth it.  I went to the Sephora website to check the price and it is US$18.00 (no tax). You may think this is expensive, but it is not! If you compare with the package that comes just 1 and costs US$10.00 (no tax). 

Emerald have already been shown up on red carpet, bags, shoes, clothes and many others!

Even Princess has being using it! 



Well this is my beauty/fashion advice for today!

Now the second subject! 

The pictures taken of the nail polish were taken by my iPhone camera! Yes it is true! I just had to use a Olloclip lens to create this amazing effects! 

The Olloclip lens is a 3 in one lenses that has Fish Eye, Macro and Wide Angle! The quality of the picture is excellent it is really practical! The price is about to US$69.99 (no tax). Here is a video:






Does anyone has one of this two things?! 

Tell me right down in the comments!

Review: Sally Hansen "Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips"

Hello everyone!

How's everyone doing?

Well, as you all know I'm from Brazil and the last four days here were Carnaval. Which is a  traditional famous party here.

At this kind of celebration, people use to wear costumes and go out to dance and to see a kind of
parade.

On the other hand I didn't wear any kind of costume this year, but I wanted to be in the mood, so I colored my nails to , at least, don't forget about that.

Here it is:


                                                                                 

As you can see the color "changes" depending on the place and light you have, which is something I think it's really cool. 

I did it by myself and didn't have many problems, actually it was pretty easy to do. Specially because you don't get all painted and also don't have to clean anything up. I took about 30 minutes to put it on, because it was the first time ever I was doing something like this in my own nails.

Before I put the strips on my nails I removed my cuticles and for make it easier I used the Sally Hansen "Salon Manicure Cuticle Eraser + Balm" this product is a cream that  hidrates the cuticle and makes it really easy to come off. 

Some Pics:

1- Cuticle Eraser
2- Nail Polish Strips

                                                            


Inside the Nail Polish Strips box come:

It comes with 2 packs of strips!


Hope you have liked! 

Have you guys ever used it?! Tell me!

January Favourites


Hello everyone! So, as I’ve promised in my previous post, I’ve chosen some of my favourite items that I’ve purchased during the last month and I would be glad to show you them right now.


My first favourite item is a red lipstick by Borjouis Paris which I’ve purchased in my last trip to Chile in the Free Shop at the airport. I’ve paid U$ 20,00 on it and I’m completely in love with it. It’s a bright red coloured lipstick and differently from my usual lipsticks, it isn’t matte. It’s really shiny, actually. This was something that surprised me a lot, because I usually don’t like shiny lipsticks. But yeah, I loved it and I’m currently wearing it like crazy.


The second item is a grey nail polish by O.P.I which I also have bought in the Free Shop and I’ve paid around U$ 10,00. I fell in love with it in the moment I saw it. It’s not a WOW item and it’s not even a striking colour, but I’ve felt like buying it simply because I haven’t seen nor used such a nice grey nail polish in my entire life. Since Vanity Fair has published Lady Gaga with a grey nail polish, I’ve been searching for an equally beautiful and elegant colour that wouldn’t seem a Granny’s nail polish and I finally found it. That’s why this is one my favourite items of the month.


My third favourite item is a simple Fragrance Mist by Victoria’s Secret, called SUCH A FLIRT. I usually love to have this kind of fragrance because I can take it with me in my bag all the time during the day. It’s not an expansive or strinking fragrance which makes it the perfect perfume for the everyday life. It smells like starfruit and white orchid in other words DELCIOUS. Highly recommended.
These are my January Favourites and I really hope you’ve liked it. Leave a comment if you’re feeling the coolest and I’ll see you very soon.

Christmas - Pass It Good!

Hello everybody! How's everything going? I can't even believe Christmas Eve is tomorrow! Who else's excited? So, I don't know you all, but in my family, the dinner is the most important moment in the whole Christmas celebration, more even than the presents. Everyone dress up and pass it really good-looking and so do I. So, I would like to give you some inspirations to get ready for this amazing and magical night! Let's start?
Starting with nail art...



For clothes, choose greens, reds and golds. It could be a simple and festive jumper, or even a nice dress:




And, of course, ACCESSORIES!


 


For make up, you could try a red lipstick, or a gold eyeshadow! The options are many... But, the truth is: Christmas is all about celebrating a great time with your family and close friends. Doesn't really matter what you're wearing, anyway. What does matter is you feel good. If you're happy, if you're having a great time with the ones you love, and if you're feeling pretty, that's what matters! 
I sincerely wish you all a marvellous Christmas! Full of joy, love and happy moments! Go ahead and PASS IT GOOD! x
