New project!

   Poor neglected blog! I come here today to anounce something that's really special and has been requering a lot of effort and work from me. I've always been into the idea of creating my own jewelry but never really had the guts to do it. Well, happy to say that I gained courage and here it is, my babies!









  Since I'm selling this, it's really important to receive some feedback to understand if you enjoy it. So, please, check it out at my Facebook and have a look. Like if you're interested in something, or comment if you have any suggestion, any feedback it's welcome!


Can't wait to hear from you guys,

Lots of love, M.

Neglected blog | Update

   Hey guys, long time no see, uh? I don't really have any excuse for being away. I took this time to think if blogging was really the right thing for me or if I was just doing it to go with the flow.
   I missed it quite a lot, so I'll keep on blogging just for fun, because it truly makes me happy. And even if nobody reads it or finds it any interesting, I'll be making what makes me smile, and in the end of the day, that's what matters the most.
   Another reason for my lack of posts it's my hate relation with summer. There's just something about it that doesn't quite do it for me. With that being said and with fall coming on it's way, you can count with a lot more blog posts because there will be so much more happening in my life.
   I'm sorry for this rambly post, but next one will be far more interesting.

   Let me know what kind of posts you'd want me to do, and if you're as excited for fall as I am.

Lots of love, M.

New In | Lush and Real Techniques


   My brother arrived from Portsmouth yesterday and brought me these two bits. I had asked for the Real techniques Expert Face Brush (8,99£ in Superdrug) but was not expecting a Lush Bubble Bar (4,50£). I've been dying to try a brush from this line, particularly this one, so, let's see how it goes. The lush bar in Brightside was just the cherry on top of the cake.

New in | Dr.Martens Dupes

  I've been eyeing a pair of Dr. Martens shoes for as long as I can remember. Since paying 95£ was not a possibility in my list, I've been on the hunt for the perfect look-alike. I'm glad to say that the search has ended.


    While wandering around through Pull&Bear I came across these and I fell instantly in love, even more when I saw the price (30£!).
    They are comfortable, the only thing I have to point out it's that the material on the heel it's difficult to break in and can cause a bit of pain, but other than that, they're the perfect shoes!

Essence lipliner | Review

  

  Hey! Today I decided to talk to you about Essence's lipliners. A few months ago I bought the red (10 Femme Fatale) to try since it was so cheap. I must admit that my expectations were not very high for the product, since it's so low-priced (around 1,50 €).

     Once I got home and "played" a little with it, I was extremly surprised, the pigmentation is amazing. It clearly passed this test but now to what really matters. I decided to use it on the lips without putting lipstick on top, to be able to really tell if whether or not stand, and the truth is that it held up to my lips without getting smudging all over my face (that wouldn't be very attractive!).

     The finish is a bit matte, however, on my lips does not cling to cracks which you may have if my lips are drier. Normally I use without putting lipbalm before because I don't feel the need and it still works. As for durability, it lasts quite a long time intact, if you don't eat or drink, and if perchance you do, it fades a bit but nothing extraordinary and easily solved with a touch-up. As for girls who love to give kisses, perhaps this is not the most appropriate product, because it easily transfers to the skin, which will require more frequent touch-ups.

     Overall it is a very good product at a very affordable price, I also believe that there are about 6 colors, which means that regardless of your skin tone, you'll find a colour that suits you.  


   Here's the swatches:

Bargain finds



  I've collected a few items that have grown into a very special place in my heart. These are my biggest and most recent bargains ever and they're the perfect way to be in trend without breaking the bank.



   I'll start with the oldest.


  
   This hat is from Pull&Bear and I snapped it up at the sales for the ridiculous amount of 3,99€! The more I wear it the more I cherish the fact that I brought it home with me.



   Now on to this one. This disco pants dupes are from Primark and I was extremly unsure when it came to buying these. I saw them on sale rack and picked up a pair just for curiosity. When I saw that they were marked down to 3€ I almost gasped! I've taken so much wear out of them that they're well worth what I paid for, for not to mention that they're very high waisted which is always a plus on my list.



   This jacket/coat number I've got quite recently also from Pull&Bear. I instantly fell in love with it as soon as I saw it full priced on the website but was not willing to pay 45,99€. When I saw that it had been reduced to 19,99€ I ran to the nearest store as fast as I could and grabbed myself one. I couldn't be happier! It matches with pretty much everything I wear, and it gives any outfit an effortless chic vibe which I love. Also, it's now on sale here for 7,99£!!





   Last, but certainly not least, these babies! I never really thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and actually like them. The truth is the more I saw them on tumblr, the more they'd grown into me. They give a very casual, "not trying at all" look to the outfit which we all want at some occasions. I wasn't sure how much wear I'd get out of them so I couldn't justify paying crazy amounts of money for the real deal Birkenstocks. Instead, I got these from Lidl, yes, LIDL, for 7,99€. They're really comfy and even if I end up not liking them next year or so, I will not feel guilty for paying what I paid since I got my wear out of them.


   Feel free to tell me which are your biggest bargains and dupes in the comments! 



Lots of love, M.

Anxiety and self-esteem issues

  Today's post will be different. I'm going to talk about my personal story about anxiety and self-esteem.

  Through the last few weeks, my anxiety has been getting worse and I feel constantly quite close of having a panic attack. This is something I've been struggling for years now but had been able to control in the last year. I think we've all been through stressfull moments in our lives, where you feel like if you fail the whole world will collapse down on you. For me, it's the pressure of getting good grades, to be good enough to enter to uni and graduate. But mostly, something is bugging me out: the pressure of doing something I'm not passionate about. Life's too short to waste it on bad choices and wrong turns, don't you think? I feel trapped and small. Lost. That's why I felt like I should publish this.

  Because I'm just an ordinary girl with a handfull of dreams and my anxiety and self esteem keeps holding me back from achieving those dreams. The fact that I constantly think that I'll not be good enough stops me from doing things when really it shouldn't. I know many of you are probably going through the same and being in this situation can be exaustive and it can make you feel really lonely.

  So, if you're reading this, please come out of your shell and remember that you're not alone. And don't think as a cliche, but challenge yourself everyday, even in the smallest things. The world has so much to offer for those who take the risks, those who step fearless out of their comfort zone. So, I'm here to tell you that, if I can do it, so do you.

  Do whatever you want to do, and if you don't reach sucess right away, keep trying because things worth having aren't easy.

  Feel free to talk to me. I hope I've helped even just a little.



  Lots of love, M.
