/ Analucascardigos / 2 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

It’s definitely Winter Season and I am so ready to get out there with my dark lip, shades, warm and comfy clothes.

I love accessories & jewelry, a elegant watch always looks great. I’m in love with my new watch from Morris York you can buy here and get 10% discount use code Anita44 . 

 

I can’t get enough of all the soft, fuzzy, furry items out right now! 

One of my favorite parts about my winter wear is the sweaters, they can go with everything, I realy like to use warm winter sweaters. 

I love the sweaters in neutral shades of beige, pink and brown. 

My favourite lipstick at the moment  is NYX Liquid suede cream lipstick,  provides you with velvety lips and a soft matte finish all day. Water-resistant formula.

These glow kit from L’Oreal are just amazing for the holiday season. You can do many different makeup looks with it. Another favourite I have been using a lot is the Nuxe Dry oil I love to use oil in winter time because my skin and hair are very dry, so is always good to use a good oil to keep the skin & hair hydrated.

Merry Christmas

Here’s a gift guide you might like!

When it comes to Christmas gifts, I’m usually one of the last minute shoppers you see running around the mall trying to cross presents off their list. I felt like I had so much time to get it done, and now Christmas is in a few days!

I know my Husband would like everything on this list 🙂 

I already posted gift ideas for her check here

 

I hope this list will help out if you’re last minute picking out the perfect gift.

Cheeks / Blush application

/ Analucascardigos / 9 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

Applied right, blusher gives a healthy flush. It energizes a tired face in seconds and creates wicked cheekbones.

The plethora of colours available makes choices difficult, but sticking to rosy pinks and peaches works well for most women. These shades enhance natural skin tone.

The point of blusher is to add colour to the face, not to reshape it!

You have so many different ones in the market: 

Powder blush – Easy to control and blend, it’s the most popular choice, especially for oil skin … 

Cream blush – good for dry and sun- damaged skin 

Gel Blush – Is great for giving a natural – looking glow to bare skin. 

Application :

Find the apple of your cheeks – Simply smile. Blush looks best when applied right on top of the cheekbones.  

Starting at the point on your cheek directly below the middle of your eye. If you mistakenly apply too much blush, wipe the excess off with a tissue before you blend. 

Blend the blush – Swirl the colour onto your cheeks in circular, outward motions and blend upward towards your temple, keeping it fuller in the cheek area. 

 

Common mistakes:

  • Blush that is too shimmery can leave you looking ashen and grey. 
  • Not blending enough can result in a horizontal stripe across cheeks. 
  • Muddy or grey tones can leave the skin looking dirty. 
  • Blue and purple tones can make the skin look bruised.

What I eat in a day / Healthy meal ideas

/ Analucascardigos / 22 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

Today I decided to do a different post, I will share, what I eat in a day, since I had some problems with my health I decided to be healthy, only eat and drink healthy food. Everything I eat is gluten free.  

Now I want you to remember that this is what I eat in a day, so it doesn’t mean that it is appropriate for everyone. This way of eating suits me and my lifestyle.

Breakfast 

This is one of my go to breakfasts 

First what I do when I wake up is to drink lots of water. 

Normal for breakfast I love to eat toast with eggs and decaf with coconut milk also papaya, some days instead of decaf with milk I make a smoothie with papaya and banana. 

For lunch I made turkey meatballs, with brown rice and broccoli, I always have to have vegetables in my meals. 

For my afternoon snack, I love to eat the cakes that I make, very healthy and without sugar. 

Very simple to make: banana, oat, cinnamon, egg, coconut milk, mix everything and bake for about 20 minutes. Believe me you don’t need sugar, it’s delicious.  

Also during the day I eat some fruit, at this time of year especially mandarins, love it;)

For dinner I do not like to make large portions of food, I like to eat light and small amount, on this day I made mushrooms, asparagus, eggs and coriander was delicious. And for drink orange juice. 

And of course during the day, I love drinking tea, to be honest before I did not like tea, but I had to stop drinking black coffee, so I started to drink tea and now I love it. 

Before going to bed I like to have a cup of tea or a yogurt.

L’Oréal Paradise Extatic Mascara

/ Analucascardigos / 8 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

I’m back, with a L’Oreal review.

This mascara have a intense volume and spectacular length. Lashes feel feather-soft, without any flaking. I’m impressed with the lightweight feel of the product, Best mascara I’ve ever used. I have very tiny lashes and they made them noticeable. Even after a long, tiring day, the mascara is still perfect.

I used this mascara for a full seven days before writing my review.  Literally I like everything about this mascara , the packaging, the brush and of course, the product.

I highly recommend it.

How to apply:

Brush through lashes by moving back and forth from root to tip. Layer multiple coats for even more volume.

I’d love to know if you’ve tried this mascara, and what’s your thought?! leave your comment below.
