5 Things I can’t live without

/ Analucascardigos / 4 Comments

Hi everyone , welcome back

Do you ever wonder about the things you couldn’t live without on a day to day basis? Everyone has a different list of essentials…….

My Phone 

The first thing I do when I wake up every morning is check my phone, reply to emails, scroll through Instagram and Facebook numerous times a day. I also use my phone every single day for taking photos, and chatting to friends, it’s basically my lifeline and definitely an essential for any blogger.

My Ipad 

  Easier to carry around than a laptop with all the same functions as an iPhone. When I first got mine I brushed it off because I really didn’t think I needed it but once I figured it out I was hooked! Is it sad to say that I don’t remember life before it??

My Planner (Agenda) 

I am a note-taker and constantly collecting content.  I like to do it on paper.

Coffee 

I’ve always been a caffeine addict, literally for as long as I can remember. I honestly don’t think I would survive without caffeine.

Lipsticks 

I’m addict to lipsticks, I need to have lipstick with me all the time, I have a big collection of lipsticks….

What things can’t you live without?

Thanks 😉

Hi everyone , welcome back ….

This is going to be an updated post about what’s in my bag and specially about what are the kind of essentials to keep in a small handbag.

A few essentials that I always keep in my bag are of course the wallet, the phone and the keys but I also always carry a compact powder with a mirror for “touch ups” throughout the day.

Lipstick and perfume, I always carry around……

Wallet , sunglasses, perfume, lipstick, powder, hand sanitizer and keys. These are just a few of the things that help make my everyday a little easier.

Makeup looks to inspire

/ Analucascardigos / 2 Comments

Hi everyone , Welcome back …..

We do not always have the time and skill to create that beautiful and elaborate mega makeup, right? As much as I love spending time doing my makeup, sometimes I have to choose the “basic and fast”

For that reason, 4 tips and suggestions for the day to day.

Starting with the classic that never goes out of style and leaves with an incredible result: the faded brown. Here there is no mistake, choose your favorite tone of brown and smear well, is a drawing created by a degraded by a lighter shade by the same color to put in the inner corner and the sides. The good thing about brown is that it is easy to fade and matches any occasion and look.

For those days of rush go for a lipstick. Choose a powerful mega lipstick like red, wine or brown, pass a little more lashes, a little light on the skin! And it’s ready! It looks beautiful!

If you feel like adding a bit of shine to the shape, but do not make too much of a mess, opt for creamy shadows that have a bit of shine (Maybelline have some nice options) and if you have time use a eyeliner…..

A classic makeup that Kylie Jenner is perfect for days of running around. She makes a faint butt on the outside corner that leaves the look sexy and powerful. The trick is to apply the correct at the end of the eyea nd leave that part well marked.

 

After these tips there are no more excuses for not doing a simple makeup, right? 😉
