Hi everyone, welcome back …….

Spring my favorite season of the year , I love everything about spring. I always feel inspired by the nature around me, but especially during these months when colors are richer, blooms are fuller and everything seems to be more vibrant.

Floral for Spring? Groundbreaking. I know it’s a little obvious, but I do love floral!

A trench coat is great for all seasons, but I find I wear mine most in the spring and fall when temperatures are a lot more mild.

Why do you wear makeup

/ Analucascardigos / 5 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back …..

If you ask different women the question “Why do women wear makeup?”  There is no one correct answer as women have their own reasons for wearing cosmetics.

For a Clearer Complexion

For women who have complexion issues, makeup can help disguise problem areas, although the main focus should be on a skin care routine to maintain clear skin. Concealers can hide dark under eye circles or blemishes. Foundations can smooth your complexion into an even-toned canvas. Makeup is great for creating the illusion of perfect skin if used the right way.

To Look Attractive or Glamorous

If you want to glam up your look, for a big night out or a special date, makeup will help you do that. You can choose whichever look you like best. One day may include smoky  eyes , shimmery lipstick, while the next might find you in the mood for thin black eyeliner and classic red lips.

Some women wear makeup to attract someone special. While men’s opinions differ on what kind of makeup they like to see on women, it’s better for women to wear what makes them feel attractive and confident.

Some  want to appear sultry and glamorous, others prefer a very natural look. They still use makeup to achieve it, but the idea is to have a polished look without looking like she’s wearing makeup. Done correctly, a woman may have on foundation, mascara and lip color without anyone even realizing it.

 Makes women feel more confident ….. 

It helps to improve your appearance and boost your confidence, and also improve your entire look. Similarly, the fact that we wear deodorant each day, so that we smell clean and fresh, women wear makeup to feel confident too.

Hi everyone , welcome back …..

For those who don’t make a habit of splashing out on expensive fragrances, one thing will be at the forefront of your mind when you do – how can I make it last all day?

It turns out that there are areas on the body that are best for spritzing – and they are not always the places we expect.

Where Apply your perfume ?! 

Ears , Neck & Collarbone , inside elbows , pulse points  ,ankles and behind your knees …..

Image result for the best way to apply perfume

Ears – Spray your scent of choice behind  the ear lobes – this area is a pulse point, where the body is warmer, which will serve to enhance the fragrance. Additionally for an amplified effect, try the area at the tops of your ears, as skin tends not to dry out there.

Inside elbows -Slightly obscure the smell in the bends of the arms – perfect for longer-lasting diffusion.

Behind the knees -As well as being another area where veins rise close to the skin, the backs of the knees are warmer and softer, and therefore more likely to project the scent.

Pulse points –Is  where your blood flows the strongest and the skin is the warmest.

Neck and Collarbone: Spritz your neck and collarbone lightly, making sure your bottle is at least 30 cm away from your skin. This is to make sure the alcohol content in the perfume doesn’t dry out your skin.

Ankles – A summer favourite – spritzing your ankles will let the scent gently follow you wherever you go.

/ Analucascardigos / 1 Comment

Hi everyone, welcome back – Today I want to talk about my favorite shoes for spring/ summer 2017…..

One of the best parts of spring is the return of the wedge sandal. It’s the easiest way to get more height with less hurt!

A nude wedge sandal is essential to every wardrobe.

$295 BUY NOW This platform wedge is not only trendy, but it provides a nearly even pitch. Translation: you'll get a 3.5-inch lift, but have the feeling of wearing flats. Genius! Plus the white leather is perfect for summer.

This platform wedge is not only trendy, you will get 3.5 inch lift, but have the feeling of wearing flats. Is very comfy …….

Wedge sandals are the unofficial mascot of spring and summer. These staples are a savior when the weather heats up (Heels you can wear all day? Yes please!), and cork just makes a natural choice.

Are you a fan of wedges? Any others out there that you would recommend?

Have a nice Sunday everyone 😉

Givenchy very irresistible perfume review

/ Analucascardigos / 1 Comment

Hi everyone , welcome back …..

Irresistible, modern, floral fragrance. This incredibly feminine fragrance was created of five variances of roses. The opening note of anise, delicately-fresh, brings in an original modern nuance in the classical floral harmony. The sharp and piercing beauty of rose has become milder, even warm and comfortable.

Image result for givenchy perfume review

Givenchy is a famous brand of perfumes and luxury items. It has a wide range of fragrances and all the company products are known for their refined quality.

I would say that this is best used during the springtime and early summer. It actually does seem to have some versatility in its use, either for casual or more romantic wear.

Is Very Irresistible worth a buy? Yes, provided that you enjoy floral perfumes . It has plenty of life and energy. Plus, it actually has good performance. It isn’t the usual ‘green’ or outdoorsy type of floral scent, that can feel stuffy and boring. This Givenchy Here scent does everything that you need a fragrance to do and doesn’t disappoint.
