Product Review!!

Hey guys!

So today I decided I was going to do a Product Review on Maybelline's DreamLumi Touch Highlighting Concealer!
Packaging:

I have to say, I really do like the packaging of this product! It's easy to travel with, very practical and the brush is nice and soft. 
Plus it looks simple, sleek and elegant.

I'll give it a 7 out if 10.



Coverage/ Highlighting proprieties:

This product has something like a medium coverage, but you can totally build it up! It's not 100% perfect, but it does the job very well! It definitely highlights your under eye area and helps hiding your dark circles.

I'll give if 6 out of 10.



Lasting Power:

This concealer has great lasting power! All I do is set it with some powder and it will last me the entire day! It's really great!

I'll give it 8 out of 10.



How It Feels On The Skin:

This might be my favorite thing about this concealer! It feels amazing on your skin! It's soft and easy to blend, but that doesn't take away it's good covering power.

I'll give it 9 out of 10.




Final Review:

This is a really good product!
It feels like you're not even wearing anything on your skin, but it definitely hides the biggest part of your dark circles!
I really recommend it!



If you've already tried it, what did you think? And if you didn't, are you curious to?
Let me know on the comments!!



That was my review! Hope you liked it! Tell me which product you want me to review next!

Fashion FYI: Golden Globes 2013 + After Party

 
Hey hey hey!!


So, as you all now, the Golden Globes ceremony this year happened in the beautiful L.A, on Sunday night (13th of January).

The show was amazing and super fun (as always), and all our favorite stars were there!
And the ones that didn't attend to the actual ceremony, made presence on the After Party (at the Weinstein Company).

We all know these ceremonies are made to award the amazing artists we have in this world! And our stars know that too! So they always want to look their best, no matter what!

I mean... you never know when your name's going to be called, and you'll have to say that speech that you sooooo didn't practise... right?? ;)


Anyways, our Hollywood beauties tried everything to "wow" the public! And they made it!


Take a look:



Ceremony:

 
First we have the gorgeous Halle Berry, who seems like hasn't left her catwoman side, judging by the huge and sexy slits on her dress (Versace)! Haha just kidding!!!
I mean, come on! If you had her body, wouldn't you show it off too? I know I would!
Definitely not her best look, but lets face it! She looks good on anything!
 
 
 
 
 
The beautiful Amanda Seyfried looked fabulous on her Givenchy dress. She added some Fred Leighton earrings to complete the look, which just made fabulous turn to perfect.
Is it only me, or is there anyone else who's expecting to see her sitting on a throne?
 
 
 
 
 
And now the only, the amazing, the brilliant... Anne Hathaway!
This woman is just perfect!
She showed up on a beautiful Chanel dress, added a coat and jewels (also from Chanel), some Aldo shoes and a Roger Vivier bag.
Let's stand up and applaud this goddess, please!
 
 
 
 
 
Seriously, this woman would look good with a sweater and Ugg boots!
But she made a MUCH better choice and wore a  Dolce&Gabbana dress some Jimmy Choo 's, Lorraine Schwartz jewelery and a Salvatore Ferragamo clutch, to finish off the look.
She looked amazing, as usual, and made everyone shiver with her beauty.
 
 
 
 
 
She might be young, but she can be as sexy as a lot of older stars out there! Sarah Hyland wore a Max Azria Atelier black gown with some details at the waist, paired with some Casadei heels. To complete the look she added some Lorraine Schwartz jewels and a Judith Leiber clutch.
At the end, she looked amazing and "wowed" everyone at the ceremony.
 
 
 
 
 
Always looking beautiful and fresh, Ariel Winter chose a Valentino dress, a Jimmy Choo clutch, a gorgeous Jennifer Behr headpiece, an Open Hearts bracelet and a Sylva & Cie ring.
The young actress looked so cute and feminine! Nothing looked like her character on Modern Family! hahaha!!
 
 
 
 
 
Finally, she went dark!!! I love Taylor Swift's style but, honestly, her "wearing white and light colors every time everywhere" was really starting to be too much! I've been wanting to see her using some hot Fall/Winter colors... and she made my wish come true with this beautiful Donna Karan Atelier dress! To finish it off, she added some Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, Rene Caovilla shoes and an Oroton clutch.
She looked amazing, as usual, and daring, which I love!
 
 
 
 
 
Can you say flawless?? Because, after looking at this photo of the AMAZING Jennifer Lawrence, it's the first word that comes to my mind!
All her beauty simply shined with this Christian Dior Haute Couture red dress, complemented with Brian Atwood shoes, Chopard jewelry and a Ferragamo clutch.
Her updo just tied the entire look together, and gave main focus to her dress!
 
(BTW, why is it that every single time I see her wearing red, the words "Girl On Fire" just jump into my mind???? Haha, Hunger Games lover here!!)
 
 
 
 
 
 
After Party:
 
Nina Dobrev 2013 InStyle Golden Globe Awards After Party dress Oscar de la Renta 2 Fabulously Spotted: Nina Dobrev Wearing Oscar de la Renta   2013 InStyle Golden Globe Awards After Party
 
Ok guys, I'm going to be honest with you: I LOVE Nina Dobrev!!! Anything she wears (or does) I will definitely adore!! haha :D
But anyone has to admit she looks AMAZING in this Oscar de la Renta dress and those gorgeous Jimmy Choo shoes!
This girl brightens up any room! She's so beautiful!
Well... you know... she's only dating the hottest guy in the world... ;)
 
 
 
 
 
Here we have Miranda Kerr wearing a Zuhair Murad burgundy chiffon dress with a deep neckline and high slit, with her very very hot man, Orlando Bloom (wearing all Burberry).
This day was special to this couple, not just because they attended to such an important ceremony (which isn't new to any of them), but also because it was Orlando's birthday!!!
Can you imagine a better place to celebrate a B-day??
 
 
 
 
Ashley Tisdale (L-R) Actresses Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Selena Gomez and Sarah Hyland attend The Weinstein Company's 2013 Golden Globe Awards After Party at The Beverly Hilton hotel on January 13, 2013 in Beverly Hills, California.
 
What a picture full of beauty and fashion!
These girls and their smiles are enough to fill up a room!
The forever High School Musical sweetheart, Vanessa Hudgens, was wearing a Jenny Packham dress and a Daniel Swarovski clutch.
The lovely Selena Gomez wore an Atelier Versace dress, Jimmy Choo heels and Lorraine Schwartz jewelery.
Our favorite blonde, Ashley Tisdale, was wearing an Issa gown, Rousseau shoes, a ring and a bracelet from Sylva & Cie, State Room earrings and a L. K. Bennett bag.
Our modern girl, Sarah Hyland, wore a Pavoni dress, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes and a Judith Leiber clutch.
They all looked great and totally rocked her looks!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Get the look:
 
So, this time I decided to recreate the look of Zooey Deschanel, who wore a long bright red dress with a sweetheart neckline ( from Oscar de la Renta), Casadei shoes, an Edie Parker clutch and some Kwiat jewels.
 
 
 If you are going t a special event and want something long and elegant I suggest this gown from Tb Dress
 
 
 If you rather something a little shorter and young looking, you have this dress from Windsor that's still beautiful!
 
Bridgit-Red Tomato Short Prom Dress
 
For shoes, you can go for these amazing Steve Madden heels (if you want to go all out) or these super cute Forever21 wedges (for some color blocking).
 
 
 
 
 To finish it all off, find some cute jewels to add to your rocking outfit! (all from Forever21)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Now go out and leave everyone surprised with your Golden Globe red carpet look!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ok guys, so that was it for this post!! Hope you all enjoyed!
 
Remember to comment below telling me which look is your favorite ;)

Colour Yourself: Oxblood Flood!

Hey guys!

I totally haven't done one of these since August!!
Which is a shame, because there are so many amazing trending colors this Fall and Winter seasons!
And my favorite has to be, hands down, Oxblood!
Therefore, I decided to do a "Colour Yourself" all based around it!

Check all the cool items in this color:


Tops:

This top is a perfect mix between three very hot trends right now: oxblood (obviously), lace and peplum! These three elements come together to create a beautiful piece that any girly girl will love!

This sheer blouse will make any look feminine and elegant. But the studded collar makes it edgy and fun, perfect for a girl that's not afraid to risk it!
Also from Topshop




Bottoms:

These jeans are casual and comfortable but trendy and super cute! Perfect for those of you who won't give up being cozy but still wanna look stylish!

From Asos




These pants The Bomb.com!!! They are faux leather pants (which are a huge trends right now) in this dark oxblood color. Perfect for the daring edgy girl!
From Nordstrom



These are a fun twist on your ordinary jeans. The animal print makes them fun and daring! You'll look girly while looking edgy as well, and being super comfortable!
From Dorothy Perkins



These shorts are fun and girly! What more do you want?
From Chicnova



This skirt is higher in the front and lower in the back, which makes a beautiful effect and it's very on trend.
From Topshop





Dresses:

This dress is so pretty! It's girly (because of the lace) and elegant (thanks to the cut), and it can be dressed up (with some heels and a clutch) or down (with some combat boots and a leather jacket). It's beautiful and versatile.

From Topshop





This tulle dress has some diamond decor and a simple but elegant cut, which makes it perfect for any special occasion, where you have to look put together and stylish.
From Chicwish



This dress has some really cute puff sleeves and, like the first one, can be dressed up or down, depending on which you prefer and where you're going to.
From Zara




This last dress is perfect for any party or dressy event you might attend. It's a  fun sequined peplum dress that will make you the center of all attentions!
From Topshop




Outerwear:

This faux leather jacket is really cute and will keep you warm and stylish in these colder months.
From Nordstrom



This coat will keep you warm and cozy while looking super stylish! It incorporates the military trend, which makes it even better! Perfect!!

Shoes:

These are so cute!!!! They're flat and comfortable but they are still nice and pretty! Love them!!

These are my favorites! Oxblood Dr Martens!! Amazing, edgy and comfy!! Perfect!!

These are vintage looking Mary Jane shoes that will make any outfit gilry and elegant.

These gloves are colder weather! They will keep you warm and are super cute and fashionable!

This bag is the right way to go to complete a Fall or Winter outfit! Big, so it fits everything, and stylish, so you'll look cute while being prepared with everything you need!
FromTopshop
This clutch is right for any kind of special event, and the skull on top of it makes it edgy and daring, without going to crazy. If you want to dare and edify your elegant look, but without going for the extreme, this is perfect for that.
From Farfetch.com (Alexander McQueen)
Makeup:

This eyeshadow is called Red Copper and will totally going to make you eyes stand out! Apply it on your crease or outer corner to give you look an extra dark touch.

From Sephora (Make Up Forever)



If you're more of a lip girl (like me!) you will love this lipstick! It's bold and looks amazing in almost every skin tone. A must-have for bold lip lovers. The color's called Sin.
From MAC


If you are a blush girl, then you HAVE to try this one out! The Maybelline Dream Bouncy blushes have been very well reviewed by lots of beauty gurus and this one, in Plum Wine, has gotten lots of great comments! And don't be scared by it's color!! These blushes blend very well, leaving your cheeks with a natural tinted glow.
From Maybelline



Ok guys, so that was it for this post.

I am so sorry! + new ideas

Hello everyone.

Ok so, I have to say: I'm sorry!
I haven't done a post (and I mean a real post, not just posting my YouTube videos) since September!
I'm really sorry guys! But things have just been really complicated. I have a lot to do and not a lot of patience.
Plus, I went through a really hard time with personal issues.
Things got really messed up.
But everything is ok now!

I still have a lot to do, but my head is calm and ready for it all.
Still, I am not going to promise a post everyday (not at all), or anything like that. I really don't have much time. But I'm going to try my best to do at least 1 post a week. There might be times when that won't happen (probably when I have a lot of tests and tons of things to study), so I won't promise it. But I will promise to try hard not to keep you guys without post for too long!

I'll keep posting my videos and stuff, because I feel like they can also be helpful and fun!
But I'll try not to make all my post be like the last four one! I know that they aren't much fun!

Oh! And, also, I have a question for you guys: Would you like me to start including things like OOTDs and more "personal" things like that? With personal I mean not just showing how things look on models but also on regular people, like me and you!
I love those blogs (like http://wonderlandwardrobe.com/ or http://lucyandtherunaways.blogspot.pt/ ) where girls show not just some products and posts on trends and stuff, but also their own style!

Other question: Would you like me to do Would you like me to do posts with shoutouts to other fun Fashion and Beauty blogs, so you guys can check them? You guys could even share your own blogs! Like that we could all just have even more fun!!

Tell me what you guys think about these new ideas! I would really love to hear from you!

Again, sorry for spending so much time without posting.

I hope I get to work much more on the blog and make it much better!


Thank you for reading this!
