/ Analucascardigos / 18 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

All girls love their lipsticks and accumulate lots of the stuff. I love lipsticks, I have in my collection over 100 lipsticks, I know is a lot but I like to have different brands and one of the ones I really like is from Avon….

The lipstick comes in a simple red package, the formula is creamy and makes application smooth.  Keeps lips from feeling dry for 24 hours. Infused with vitamin E and wheat protein. Feels luxurious with a silky satin finish is moisturizing high-definition lipstick .

I have 5 of this lipsticks, and I love them;

  • Vintage pink
  • Pink perfection
  • Cappuccino
  • Fiery red
  • Forever pink

I love the texture & finish of Avon Extra Lasting Lipstick, its smooth , buttery and doesn’t move around lip lines.

/ Analucascardigos / 7 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

Testing out new makeup products is one of my favourite things to do, I guess that’s the reason why my collection is so big …. Today I’m going to talk about a product that I’m loving; . Maybelline master bronzer color and Highlighting kit palette

Now, summer glow comes to life with a sun kissed bronzed & highlighted effect.
Create a highlighted bronze look for a multi-dimensional sun kissed glow with our all-in-one palette.
Bronze shades: pure bronze pigments for an all-over golden glow
Universal highlighter; illuminates and adds gradient for dimensionality…..

If your looking for a bronzer and highlighting you need to try Maybelline Master Bronze Color and Highlighting Kit. I love the 4 options for colour to suit your skin tone and contoring effects you can create are fantastic with a slight shimmering effect.

The product itself is really easy to use, goes on well, doesn’t clump and gives me that elusive summer glow….  I would recommend this to everyone, this is simple to use with brilliant results!

 

Have you ever try this pallet? let me know your thoughts, in the comments bellow 😉

Burberry Weekend Eau De Parfum For Women

/ Analucascardigos / 2 Comments

Hi everyone , welcome back

I am a perfume person, I love to have a good perfume…. The Burberry weekend EDP  that I am reviewing today is a gift by my husband, and I love it …..

What the product says

A sheer fragrance with top notes of tangerine, tree sap and Reseda plant. Delicate floral heart notes of wild rose, peach blossom, iris and hyacinth, invigorated by a subtle splash of nectarine. The low notes of cedar wood and sandalwood add depth for a relaxed and fresh scent.

Because of this unique combination of fragrance notes, I find this perfume ideal for day wear…..

Burberry weekend EDP comes in a glass bottle that is round in shape. The bottle is transparent so as you have a check on the quantity left. The spray nozzle is easy to use and oozes out the exact required quantity on every push. The cap has the “Burberry” logo engraved on it, which gives it a completely classy look.

Burberry Weekend EDP is love at first sight for me! It is all about fruity-floral fragrance and it is all about feminism & elegance to me. A perfect fragrance for day wear , A must try for those who enjoy such sweet aroma.

I would definitely recommend this fragrance !……

Visit Portugal

/ Analucascardigos / 25 Comments

Hi everyone , welcome back

Today I want to share something different. As you know if you follow my blog, I’m Portuguese and I love my country, I love to live in London but of course I miss Portugal ….

Today I want to talk about  Portugal 

Portugal is extraordinary! More and more travellers from all over the world are discovering it with amazement. Do not miss the beautiful cities of Lisbon and Porto (elected best European destination three times). Plan a romantic stay in Sintra or enjoy the wild beauty of the Azores and the luxuriance of the island of Madeira.

Portugal has a rich and interesting history in many ways. Portugal was technically considered a country in 1143 after an array of power struggles and invasions until finally joining what is now known as the European Union in 1968. This move is largely responsible for the Portugal we can visit today. Particularly interesting features of Portuguese history are preserved in unique museums

There is no place in the world where seafood is more adored and masterfully prepared than on the coasts of Portugal. From fresh fish to octopus, you will not only find it all, but you’ll taste the sea like never before. Portuguese cuisine is fresh, authentic, and full of flavors that have been perfected over generations.

Lisbon is the capital city of Portugal. The city is absolutely gorgeous with scenic vistas from every angle, saturated with rich history found everywhere from the roads to the marvellous architecture. Lisbon is also home to some of the world’s most contemporary fashions, art, and entertainment!

Garnier skin active micellar cleansing Gel water

/ Analucascardigos / 2 Comments

Hi everyone , Welcome back …..

The new Garnier Skin Active Micellar Cleansing Gel Wash claims to remove all makeup while cleansing and soothing the skin with a rinse off formula. Garnier says that this is safe for face, eyes and lips while having no perfume and is even suitable for sensitive skin. The packaging is very similar to the Micellar Water as you can see and I really like that they decided to do a pump on this as it makes it much easier to dispense the product and apply to the face.

In one easy step it cleanses skin and removes makeup all over the face , even on lips and eyes. Perfectly clean and refreshed skin without rubbing.

How to use : Apply to a wet face. foam up with water and massage gently in circular motions on face focusing on lip and eye area. Rise off.

I Love it because it’s simple and does its job perfectly, does’t cause any imperfections and remove all the makeup excess……

I use Garnier products for a while and I’m happy with it.

Thanks 😉
