DAILY MAKE-UP ROUTINE (update)

Today I wanted to share with you my updated daily make-up routine. It has been so long since the last one I did. There are a few products that I have changed since my last one and I think it is a good time to share it with you.

For an everyday make-up I do not tend to do a dramatic make-up look. I just like to do it in a glowy and natural way.


To start with my make up I use these products. Lately I've been using the Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation in the Shade 102 Light Nude. It is quite great. It doesn't have a matte finish but I feel that this dewy finish fits me so much better in this time of the year. Then the concealer that I have been using is the Rimmel Wake me up, which is my all time favorite concealer. I just love it... Unfortunately I have finished it and I can not buy it here in Spain because they do not sell it... To finish with my skin I like to add a little bit of color to my cheeks with the All Day MAC pro longwear blush and I apply it with the Real Techniques multi task brush. To apply the foundation and the concealer I use this sponge.


Moving on to my eyes, for an everyday look I just tend to do quite a natural eye look. For that I use the Naked Basics palette by Urban Decay and I cannot explain how much I love this palette. It is perfect. You can use the first color named Venus (which is the only one with shimmer) as a highlighter, then the second one, Foxy, to set everything in its place, and the two at the end, Naked2 and Crave to fill in your eyebrows. Moreover it gives you the perfect look for your eyes and they last so much. Besides, it has the perfect size, you can take it with you everywhere you go! Then I set my eyebrows in place with the Maybelline Brow drama in the shade medium brown. And for eyeliner I have been using the Maybelline Master Precise liquid eyeliner. Finally to apply my eye shadows I mostly use these two brushes: the Real Techniques Domed shadow brush and the Sephora Crease Shadow brush.
I forgot to put it in the picture but the mascara that I am currently using is the Vibra-perfection (out of stock)


Finally what I apply in my lips is some lipbalm, currently I am using the Carmex one which is great and when I use lipstick I usually wear Velvet Teddy by MAC which I am obsessed with. To highlight I use this cream color base in the shade pearl by MAC.


I hope you enjoyed this post and I will see you very soon with more beauty, lifestyle and music posts.

THE SCRIPT: No sound without silence tour. Madrid 2015.

Hi there!! So this thursday I went to my very first The script concert. And I can only say It was bloody amazing. The show included two supporting acts.
The first one was Colton Avery, a guy from Phoenix, Arizona whose dream has come true by joining The Script's worldwide tour. I hadn't heard anything from him until the concert but his voice and his lyrics are quite good. I am looking forward to hear from him again soon. I really liked his songs called Murder and Only one.


The second supporting act was Tinie Tempah. I am sure you have heard of him before. This time he was accompanied by Dj Charlesy. Their show was quite good too. I really liked it. But my favorite song would have to be Written in The stars, which is his most famous song.


Then at 9:30h the Script came out to the stage in a way that I hadn't seen before. They were surrounded with green fluorescent lights while they walked through the audience. It was incredible. Then the show began in the most Irish way it could go with Paint the town green. They were amazing. I was very close to the stage so I could enjoy so much the concert. I had a great night. There were some amazing performances. My personal favorite ones were The man who can't be moved, Man on a Wire, Breakeven, No good in goodbye and Paint the town green.

The man who can't be moved and Breakeven are their two classic songs and they are definitely among my favorites. Then I believe that Man on a Wire and No good in Goodbye are both so well written and the melody is so great that it made me love them so much. And finally Paint the town green was just great. The energy that this song gives me every time I listen to it is indescribable.
Moreover, at the end of the concert when they threw their plectrums to the audience one of them hit me in the nose and I got it haha. It is the perfect souvenir from the concert.



To sum up, The concert was great. I had one of the best nights ever surrounded by friends and good quality music. What more could I ask for?


And If you hadn't heard of the Script before you can check them on their spotify:

I hope you enjoy this post telling you about my experience at the concert and I will see you very soon!

Music that shoud never fall into oblivion

As your may now I am a music lover. Music is mostly everything to me. I enjoy listening music from a lot of different styles and genres.
So today I thought I would share with you some music from the last century that I think that are so amazing that every single one should listen to them at least once...
I am sure than most of the songs I am going to talk about are not new to you but I want to share them anyway.


Songbird by Fleetwood Mac is great. This song is so chilled and relaxed. I enjoy quite much listening to it from time to time.


Ring of fire by Johnny Cash. Everyone knows Johnny Cash and this song is just amazing.It gives me extra energy every time I listen to it and I think is genius.



When It comes to Marvin Gaye, it is impossible to choose only one song. The best ones are Let's get it on, Ain't no mountain high enough, and my personal favorite Sexual Healing.



I put a Spell on You,  Annie Lennox version  is bloody amazing. I have known it for a while now and I am glad that now everyone that didn't know about it is listening to it thanks to Fifty shades of grey. It is a song with so much power and fierce. I love it so much.



I am sure that everyone has heard this song once at least once. California Dreamin' by The Mamas and The Papas is such an awesome song. It makes me happy and joyful.




James Taylor is such an important musician. His songs mean so much and the melodies are so genius. The best songs are You've got a friend, Carolina in my mind and my favorite Fire and Rain.




The Locomotion by Little Eva. I love this song and every time I listen to it I just want to dance and have a great time.




Everyone knows how great and perfect Whitney Houston was. She was so important to many people and she will never be forgotten. My favorite songs and not necessarily the best ones are How Will I know, Saving all my Love for you, and my ultimate favorite I have nothing.


Fever by Peggy Lee is aaaaaamazing. (I feel like I'm running out of adjectives to say how amazing songs are)

These are just some songs that come to my mind now. But obviously there are a looot more that are just incredibly awesome. I could be writing for hours if I wanted too... Maybe in a couple of months I can write another post with some more great music. I still have to talk about Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Chuck Berry, Rod Stewart, The Rolling Stone, The Beatles, Nirvana...

I hope you enjoyed this post. I love sharing the music I like with everyone and I truly believe that this artists and songs should be heard by everyone.

CURRENT OBSESSIONS

Hi there!
I've been quite busy with exams so I haven't been around here lately, and I'am so sorry. But today I thought that I would share with you my current obsessions.

FOOD: Right now I am quite OBSESSED with white chocolate. It is the yummiest thing ever and I can not stop eating it (I know it is not very good for me but it is my guilty pleasure and I can't resist to it)

http://cdn.sheknows.com/articles/2013/01/allParenting/wine_chocolate/White-chocolate.jpg


DRINK: Lately I've been drinking more tea, and my ultimate favorite is the Yorkshire Tea. I bought it when I was in Brighton so I was being careful because I didn't want it to end... But now I have discovered a place where they sell it here in Madrid so now I drink it almost every day. It is black tea and they told me to drink it with milk and I can tell that it is awesome.

TV SHOW: I am enjoying quite much Eye Candy which talks about cyber-crimes during the investigation of a potential killer in Manhattan. I think it is something that we haven't seen anywhere and it is a very cool tv series.



MUSIC: Right now I am quite enjoying a lot of different music. James Bay and Ella Henderson. Moreover the soundtrack of 50 shades of grey is AWESOME, I have also been listening to Maroon 5, the Script and Ed Sheeran.



MAKE-UP PRODUCT: I am loving the eyeshadows by kiko... They are great. But I have plans for an entry coming later this month so I am not going to say a lot about them right now... I'll just say that if you haven't tried out KIKO yet, I do not know what are you waiting for...


APP: Right now I am obsessed with snapchat, instagram and the Kim Kardashian game that now also has Kendall and Kylie on it...

And I think that this would be everything!!
Thanks for reading and see you very soon...

BARCELONA

Here are some of the pictures I took when I went to Barcelona a few weeks ago. I had never been before and I completely loved it! It is just perfect. I enjoyed every single moment I spent there. I only stayed for 3 days but it was more than enough.
So here are some pictures I took, enjoy it!





 






I hope you enjoyed it!

INSPIRATION

This past week I was going through a lack of inspiration kind of moment. I had a couple of cool posts ideas but the inspiration to accomplish them didn't come so yes, I was not inspired.
It may sound quite ironic but the lack of inspiration is what have inspired me to write this today.
Inspiration is something that has to come to you. You can not force it. Although it is also true that you can do certain things to help your mind get some ideas or sthg. So what I am going to talk about today is what do I do to get some inspiration.

First I like to relax and play some peaceful music. Then I usually have a cup of tea, right now I am OBSESSED with Yorkshire tea. It is delicious... After that I just lay in bed and clear my mind...

On the other hand, if I am not very busy I would usually go for a walk or even going to an art exposition or gallery is quite a good idea. There are a couple of places in Madrid that inspire me quite a lot. They are the Madrid down town. From Tribunal metro station to Sol, and also the area around El Barrio de Salamanca. But if I really want to look for ideas and at the same time go see some art I would go to El Matadero which is an art expositions area... It is quite cool and alternative, in comparison with the rest of museums.

And finally another idea that works quite well for me is to bake something. I quite enjoy baking cakes and cupcakes. So when I am feeling stressed it is a great idea to bake something. And if you are in the creative mood, go and decorate it, use your imagination and that way you will forget about everything for a couple of hours and your will definitely clear your mind completely...

So that is mainly everything I like to do when I am not feeling very inspired and my thoughts are blocked (if that makes any sense). It is a different kind of post I hope you liked it and to end this I leave you a song by Florence + the machine. This band is just great and it is perfect for the situation I just described. I hope you liked it.

TOP 3: Favorite Lipsticks

Hello there!

Holidays are over for me and today I had to go back to class... And back with the same old boring routine.

Today I decided that I wanted to talk about my favorite lipsticks. During fall and winter time I've noticed that I wear lipsticks all the time...

My favorite RED lipstick would be one from Sephora which is a cool red matte lipstick. I can say that it last a LOT. It is amazing. I love it so much.



My favorite DARK lipstick would be Diva by MAC. The name speaks for itself. It is again a very matte lipstick in a dark burgundy shade. It is perfect for the winter time.



My favorite PINK lipstick is more kind of a matte lip if you know what I mean. It is the L'Oreal Color Infalible 24h in the shade 701: captivated by cerise.



Lastly my favorite NUDE lipstick. I truly couldn't choose one. I think that velvet teddy by MAC is amazing but I do not love it on me... Then I like honeylove but I do not love it. I think that my favorite one is Taupe by MAC. I have not bought it yet. But I have tried it on a couple of times. I will purchase it very soon.


So that is everything. Thanks for reading. See you soon.

New Year Resolutions

2015 has just begun and I do not know why I believe that is going to be a year of change. Or at least I will try to change some things. A new year is a new blank page where you can write what you want and I am going to try to fulfill almost all my goals.



1. I am going to WORK OUT. January is ending and I have successfully accomplish that.I signed up in a gym a few weeks ago and I have been going a lot since then. I hope I can keep on working out and not give up.

2. I got an acoustic guitar for Christmas and another year resolution is to LEARN how to play it. I am in love with music and I think it was about time that I learn how to properly play an instrument.

3. Another resolution would be to be persistent and constant with my decisions and if I choose to do something I will stick to it and do not give up when something takes some effort and it is not easy.

4. I want to be HAPPIER. 2014 was not a very good one emotionally. Many good things happened but I was not entirely happy so for 2015 I have told myself that I have to be happier and more joyful.

5. I want to live the unexpected. I mean. I do now want to worry about tomorrow, I am just going to live today. Once my uncle told me that little children are happier than adults because they do not think about the past and they don't care about the future, they just live in the moment and that is what I am aiming this year.

I hope you enjoyed my new years resolutions and that maybe you share some with me. Hope 2015 is a good one!

Thanks for reading.

Night Routine

Hello there!
I finished my exams and now I have a few days to relax and rest so I have decided that today I will talk about my night routine, these things that I usually do after diner and before going to bed.

So the first thing that I usually do is removing my make up and what I have been using are those cleansing wipes by Garnier. Then I use a cream to moisturize my face and I have been using one from a local supermarket. Then I use an eye contour and a serum in the parts of my face where I have some redness or spots. And finally I used some lipbalm because I tend to have the worst lips ever...  

 After that I would go and take a shower and right after that I would take my laptop and chill in my bed. I usually edit some pictures, or watch some YouTube videos, but most nights I just get into Cuevana and watch some tv series. (In that occasion I was watching the last episode of the vampire diaries).


If I do not feel in the mood of doing anything I would just go into spotify and play some music. Right now I love Jealous by Labrinth, Sugar by Maroon 5 and Five Tattoos by Ella Henderson. On the other hand recently I have discovered that If you have an android phone (I don't know if iphone users have this too, I guess they have) you can read magazines through google. For example you can read vogue or glamour among others.

 
 

I also check my social networks as instagram and twitter mainly.



And that is mainly everything I do during night time! I hope you enjoyed this kind of post and I will see you very soon!

Happy New Year!

How is your 2015 going? If I am completely honest mine hasn't been good at all. 
Certain things have happened and I haven't been feeling very well.
These past 2 weeks have not been great. My mobile phone got stolen... And I lost the pictures and memories I had in there... So I was quite devastated for a couple of days. Also I am currently with the final exams in university, and although I do not like my subjects very much I really want to pass. And other things happened too. These events made me get into a bad mood and I didn't feel very good at all. This added to the fact that I didn't have a lot of time has been the main reason for not posting anything in the last few weeks. 
So today what I am going to talk about is: My go-to activities when I am feeling down.

When I am not feeling happy and joyful I tend to spend all the day in my bed doing absolutely nothing. But eventually I get out of bed and start doing things. 

One of the things that I like to do feeling like this is having a bath. In this occasion I used a bath bomb by Lush (it was a christmassy one).




I also like to have a tea/milkshake/coffee and watch something in my computer or read online while I lay in bed.


Finally what I like to do the most is watching some series online. I use an app for my laptop called cuevana. And listen to music too. Lately I've been listening on repeat Ella Henderson's album Chapter one.


Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope I will be here very soon.
PS: I was about to upload this post and it has started to snow!!!!! This has completely made my day!!!!  I am so happy right now. So I just had to go pick my camera and go out to the garden to take some pictures.

Hi there!
September has arrived and most of you will be sad because Summer is almost over... But I am not.
I probably had the best summer of my entire life but I was looking forward to this september to arrive. Because september 2014 means the beginning of a new life to me. In a week or so I am starting university so this is a big big step for me.
I am looking forward to start and I will let you know how I am doing there.
Well, what I actually wanted to talk about the MAC make-up class that I took a few months ago.
My grandma saw that I quite enjoy make-up and these kinda beauty things so she decided that she wanted to give me a make-up course and I loved it!
So yes, I went to a MAC store and I booked a 90 min course. The price was 65€ and then you can take MAC products till you reach the price of the course...

I asked for a Day Make-up look and then for a Night Make-up look and what it is very good is that the girl did half of my face and then I had to do the other half of my face (And It went better than I thought). And now I am going to try to tell you every product that they used on me.

- FACE:
Primer- Studio Moisture Fix SPF 15.
Foundation- Face and Body.
Concealer- Mineralize concealer
Powder- Studio Fix
Blush (I cant remember which one was but it was a very natural color)
Highlighter- Cream Colour Base in Shade Pearl

- EYES
Primer: Prep + Prime Eye
Eye Shadows- Vanilla Eye Shadow, Sable Eye Shadow (Those two mainly)
Eye Pencil- in color Coffee
Eye Liner- Fluid Line in color Blacktrack
Mascara- (I can't remember)

-LIPS
Lipstick in color Please me

And that is everything!
Then I took 4 products:




Cream Colour Base- Pearl
Honey Love Matte Lipstick
Slectmoisture cover concealer in shade NW20
Blacktrack fluidline

Thanks for reading!
See u soon! ^^

Opening my heart to you

As I told you in my first post I can not live without music. I love singing and listening to it! So, last christmas I was having one of those days in which you start asking yourself questions such as: Who am I? or What's next? And I felt like writing a song, this is my very first song ever written and I think it describes certain moments of my life. I consider it quite sincere and honest.
It has no music, it's only the lyrics but I am working on adding the music asap.
So here it is and I hope you enjoy it!


Standing by the fire
Thinking what I did wrong
Digging into my deepest thoughts
I realized what a liar I’ve become
All this time pretending I was happy
When I was all alone

Now I’m sick of trying to smile
When all I want to do is cry
I’ve said enough goodbyes
And pretended I was fine

Where were the people I used to love
When I needed them the most?
Where are the friends I used to know
when I need someone to talk?
Now I’m all alone
All Alone…


All alone

PS: It is not finished yet.
Anyway, thanks for reading ^^
