/ Analucascardigos / 23 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

I hope you’re all ok and having a lovely Sunday!

I have a few recent editions to my beauty collection and I just couldn’t wait to share these with you all!

First I went to Body Shop to look for  some hand cream and I come back with 3 products, always like this when I go to Body Shop ….

1 – Pink grapefruit shower gel- Cleanses the skin, Leaves skin softer and refreshed, Soap free….

2 – Pink grapefruit Body butter-  This rich and creamy Body Butter is a feast for the skin. It melts straight in to leave skin feeling soft and smooth.

3 – Pink grapefruit hand cream – Perfect for on-the-go hydration, Infused with pink grapefruit oil, the light, gel-cream formula absorbs quickly, helping to soften and protect the hands.

The next three products are from Victoria Secret….

I love Victoria Secret lipsticks, they’re fantastic ….

Victoria’s Secret Satin Lip Crayon –  1 – Barely ; 2 – Undressed; 3 – Whisper  

And last but not least, I purchased another MAC Lipstick for my collection, I can’t stop myself, I love Mac Lipsticks 😉

MAC Lipstick – Mocha

The creamy bullet delivers opaque coverage and a satin finish. I love it 😉

What do you think of these products, Let me know in the comments below!

OOTD – September 

/ Analucascardigos / 17 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

I hope you’re having a great weekend so far….

The beginning of autumn is my favourite time of year. The air is cool and the sun is warm, leaves are just starting to change colour and hot beverages are more appealing.

While it may be early to say sweater weather has arrived but I’m counting the days…

I’m very exited to start dressing up for Fall and the gorgeous colours of the leaves and just nature overall.

Blouse- F&F;  Boots- Red Tape;  Jeans – Zara; Handbag – Casa Di Roxa

My Vanity tour

/ Analucascardigos / 25 Comments

Hi everyone, Welcome back

 

Now it’s time for my Makeup Vanity Tour! My vanity is from Ikea, the organizers are from Amazon, Ebay and Ikea ….

I loved this table, not just because the clean, minimal shape, but because of that long, shallow drawer, which holds all the goodies…

Organizing anything means categorize, Makeup brushes should live with other makeup brushes, lotions, potions and creams have their own drawer or designated spot, etc… you get the point. When you categorize, you know where everything is ….

The way I organized my vanity works very well  ….

In these acrylic organizer I keep some of my lipsticks….

Here is where I keep my foundations & some of the primers and BB creams I use everyday.

A lipstick holder 😉 with some of my favourite lipsticks ….

I made the brush holders by combining two rectangular glass vases from IKEA.

How do you store your makeup?

Thanks 😉

/ Analucascardigos / 6 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

Miracle glow Lightweight cleansing oil dissolve makeup in an instant!

Cleansing oils have been getting more popular and I see more brands doing it. I use cleansing oils in my evening skin care routine to take off my makeup, and I have been using Miracle glow Lightweight cleansing oil for a month and I love it …. removes my makeup very well ….

Formulated with Babassu, green coffee  and passion fruit seed oil which work to maintain skin’s moisture barrier and balance skin’s natural oil production.

  • Lightweight, non-greasy cleansing oil
  • suitable for all skin types

To use, simply add a few drops and apply to dry face, next massage the product into the skin to break down makeup, next add water to transform the oil into a  cream. After, remove with a damp cotton pad or wash off the product with clean, warm water.

This oil has been working out great for me and my skin. I’m really happy with the results of this product.

The Balm Hot MaMa!

/ Analucascardigos / Leave a comment

Hi everyone, welcome back

Sexy Shadow & Beautiful blush All-in-one!

Multi-purpose shadow and blush can also be used as a subtle highlighter.

Peachy hue adds a splash of colour with shimmering detail.

This would look beautiful as a stand alone highlight on darker skin tones!

It is a good quality blush, It’s quite pigmented so you have to have a light hand with it.

Most of The Balm blush are pigmented and easy to blend.

Every skin type can wear this blush.

If you need a good everyday blush that isn’t dark in color, looks natural and gives an overall glow, this is also for you.

It’s not dirt cheap and all, but for the quality of the product and the amount of product that comes in the package, this is really a good buy.

Have you tried anything from The Balm? Anything you’d recommend?
