June Photo Diary

My favourite month of the year has been and gone - not gonna lie, that makes me sad! June is the official start to summer and everything feels lighter, fresher (read: warmer) and better this month. Is that just me? Anyway, June was a great month filled with personal joys and achievements and, of c…

On My Wishlist #1

Every month I tell myself 'no more makeup, save up your money'… and every month I make a purchase or five. 'It's just who I am as a person, what can I do?!', I tell my mum and myself. However, this month I actually mean it. I've set aside a small amount of money to spend o…

My Top Three Nude Lipsticks

Nude lipsticks are tricky for me. Because of my fair skin, I have to be very careful with whatever nude I choose to wear in order to avoid looking like a corpse. I wish I could be like Kim Kardashian - the queen of the nude lip, hands down - and rock whatever shade of nude I wanted and still look …

Two In One

The first thing that drew me to this Oysho swimsuit was the gorgeous back. I'm not one to really invest in swimwear much at all, but I saw that I could wear this stunning swimsuit beyond the beach, and that's exactly what I did the other day!

Mini Sephora Haul

I popped into Sephora bright and early yesterday to have a snoop around their sale section. Armed with a dangerous iPhone list of goodies I wanted to get, I ended up picking up only two things: a repurchase and an item I've been wanting to try out for the longest time. Fret not, though, becaus…

My Go To Bright Lip

I've talked about my love for the Sephora Cream Lip Stains on the blog before - coincidentally, it's one of my most read posts to date! Now that summer is here and has knocked on our door with a vengeance (at least in Portugal), I thought I'd dig up my favourite bright lip for the warm…

Why KIKO Converted Me To Eyeshadows

Out of every make up item there is, eyeshadow is my least favourite. First of all, I can't blend for sh*t. Smoky eyes? I have more of a chance of looking like a raccoon rather than a perfect Kim Kardashian. But, more importantly, I just don't think I suit them, especially the darker eyesha…

New In: For The Summer

Finally we're starting to get sunny hot weather – between 29 and 33 degrees these next few weeks! – so it was about time I added some summer appropriate bits to my wardrobe. 
Finalmente o tempo quente já está à espreita – temperaturas entre os 29 e 33 graus durante as próximas semanas! –, porta…

Better Than Sex?

Mascara isn't my favourite make up item. While I can buy allll of the lipsticks, it's very rare that I'm truly wowed and lusting after a mascara – it's something I can't justify spending copious amounts of money on. A €35 lipstick? Sure! A 20€ mascara? Errr... Nope. 
In this ca…

My First YSL Lipstick

Looking at this beautiful tube of Yves Saint Laurent lipstick, I'm suddenly struck by this thought: a little over a year ago, I was merely a beauty know-nothing (yes, that's a thing) whose 'beauty splurging' consisted on buying a KIKO lipstick – two, if I was brave – and feel like …
