I've been wanting this product from Flashmob for about a month, when I first found it on the internet. They were with a discount on Maquillalia and I just had to take this opportunity to buy them.I was so excited to received them, they promised "shockingly bold shade lipsticks" but unfortunately that was definitely not the case.I'm not saying that I don't like them, but I was so disappointed. The colors are not "bold" and definitely not "shockingly bold", they are just cute colors.The more pigmented ones are the pink (that I love!) and the blue one, although the blue has a hard time staying on my lips.The yellow and lilac ones only have a little bit of color but I just can't hate them, the poor things.The metallic packaging is so beautiful! I just love this product's design.I paid 4,49€ for them but they are already at 7,49€. Although I don't dislike them I won't buy them again, there are others brands that have the kind of lipstick colors that this brands claims to have. (and the ones that I really wanted)Hope this helps,See you soon
I'm not made of stone... The people that "know me" perceive me as the funny girl that's always making silly things to make other people happy. Well, that's me 99% of the time, but there are some days that are just too hard for me to handle, and in those days I can't pretend anymore and eventually the mask falls off.
Since I was a little girl I've been saying the same thing over and over again: "I don't like people".
And don't get me wrong, when I was little I always smiled at strange people passing by with an welcoming "GOOD MORNING". And maybe that was my fault, I was convinced that all people were good and that was my biggest mistake. I was screwed over so many times by people closest to me, and called names by people that didn't even knew me.
I have now this big wall surrounding me from problems ( = people ), but when something or someone that I consider important gets in all I have to do is wish for the best.
I'm a truly unlucky person, and I don't have happy endings that often. And this couple of months have been extremely difficult for me to cope.
I'm being extremely comprehensive about all that's happening, trying not to think too much to not feel too much. I'm a strong person, I endure so many things and do everything by myself, but I think I just found my weak spot, for the first time in my life, and I truly don't know what this means and it kills me that I can't do nothing... Ok, so I'm over thinking again. And that's why that I need to be distracted by simple things that will warm my heart for at least a couple of hours.
This is a list for people that prefer to be by themselves when they are sad. I'm the worst people when it comes to unburden my problems to someone, I've always been the one to listen to my friends' problems not speaking of my one's.
-Do a tv series marathon! ( And cry if you need to )
-Indulge yourself with some food you love!
-Drink some hot beverage
-Don't wear your pajamas, find something extremely cute and cozy to wear, you will feel so much better
-Take a long hot shower or a bath if you can
-Stay busy, go take some photos in your neighborhood, bake some delicious cookies, plan your outfits, paint your nails, read a book while doing a face mask, read my blog ahah
-Listen to music, DANCE and sing
-Try not to think too much about what's hurting you and don't make hypothetical scenarios (that's your worst enemy). When they appear in your head say "F*ck off, I'm trying to relax".
And know that everything will fall in it's place at it's own time. Don't try to rush things, you will be alright, trust me. And I will always be here for you when you need me.
I've been making my own planners for a long time. I really like ( need ) to write everything that I need to do down on a paper.I tried so many planners but the ones that work best for me are the ones I make for myself.Since it is something that I do quite often I thought I could share it with you.I've made a Calendar for bloggers and other for my lovely followers, so feel free to print it!Have fun and have a AMAZING month!

A couple of days ago I received a beautiful bag from Helena and this mask was in it. Today I decided to experiment it.
This package comes with two doses to use, I used one, and gave the other one to my mother to experiment.
Taking the mask of the package gets a little messy, I opened it and had to use both hands to take the mask off of it, but and the cream? Where does it go? Some of it to my fingers, some of it to the bathroom table.
Yeah, I said cream... never I ever used a mask that looked so much as a cream, I felt like I was applying a huge amount of cream to my face. I left it on my face for about 15 minutes and took it off with some wipes (as the instructions said). I still felt like my face was really oily so I cleaned it with water but I still felt like my face was strange... I waited a little while and voilà my face was soooooooo soft! And did I said that this mask smells so good? No? Well it does!
For something that was starting to look like a big disappointment ended like a great product. I'm not saying that it's my favorite product of all but it surely does the work, at a small price.

My addiction to coffee has been growing in this couple of months. Although I prefer my coffee black, I really love when I add ice cream to it! And today I'm going to show you one of those coffee&ice cream recipes that I adore.
Ingredients:
- Coffee
- 1 Ice cream ball (vanilla or cream)
- Whipped cream
- Grated Cookie
- Grated chocolate
- Cocoa powder
Sprinkle some grated cookie at the end of your cup, add an ice cream ball and pour the coffee all over it! Owwww, so delicious...
If you're having a craving for something extra sweet you can also add some whipped cream and sprinkle it with some grated chocolate or cocoa powder (or both, why not?).
And there you have it, an amazing end to your awesome dessert!
I already shared this soap with you two years ago, and it's still my favorite after all this years.
A month ago I decided that I was going to let my skin rest and be makeup-free. I never used a lot of makeup, just the everyday bb cream and eyeliner, but stopping using it was pretty hard for me, not that I needed it, I only have the occasional zit once in a while (if I don't eat chocolate, sometimes I get really, really, hungry. Ups), but it was an important part of my self esteem.My biggest ally for this adventure was my dearest soap from a Portuguese brand, Canavezes.
If you want a clear and soft skin, a soap that helps you when a zit it's starting to appear, or helps you clear out some old zit marks, this is the ONE for you!
I wash my face with this soap when I wake up and when I go to bed, and I apply it like a face mask when I feel like my face needs this treatment.It's a perfect present for you and for your best friend. It's sold in pharmacies and it only costs 8€.
Today I had to eat lunch alone, and I was really hungry and wanted to do something quickly.
I opened the fridge and saw I had some leftover rice with vegetables on the fridge. Don't know if it's weird but I really love rice and scrambled eggs, so I picked up some cupcake's molds, made a mixture of rice and 3 eggs and put it in the oven for about 15 min at 180ºC/356ºF.
I have to say they were perfect, I loved them and I'm definitely eating this rice muffins again!
Ingredients:
Difficulty / Time:
- 3 eggs
- Leftover Rice
- Super Easy / 15 minutes
Hey girls!
This is a blog post with simple ideas for your halloween makeup, just for people that don't know much about makeup and how to apply it. (and I'm one of those people, I admit)
I kinda liked the result and I had a great deal of fun doing this for you.
As always, you're going to see some of my silly faces on this blog post, hope it makes you smile, at least.
For this makeups I only used my Raven Lipstick, Mua's nº1 Lipstick, Kooky Lip Lacquer, a black eyeliner, a purple, black and gold eyeshadows, and a purple lip liner.
Are you going to celebrate Halloween? What are you going to wear?
Hope you like it! And see next time!
Love, Maria
