Hello loves!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a while since I've posted and this time I have no excuse... lost my mojo, been lazy, I don't know. But hey it's the 30th of January so it was about time I wrote the first post of the year ahah</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I've skipped the classics "What I got for Christmas", "Best of the Year" and "New Year's Resolutions" and I'm jumping straight to a review of the <i>ColourPop</i>'s eyeshadow palette <b>You Had Me at Hello</b>.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not the first time I talk about the brand in here (<a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2017/03/colourpop-haul-ultra-matte-and-satin.html#more" target="_blank">click for more!</a>) so everyone knows I love it.. the products are amazing, the packaging is beautiful plus it's so affordable BUT it comes from Los Angeles and it's so hard to get it in Portugal, it always gets stuck in customs... I think this order took over 2 months to arrive with the holidays in between and all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite product from <i>ColourPop </i>is for sure the <u>Super Shock Shadows</u><b> </b>(<u>Lippie Stix</u> are a very close runner up, so I ended up repurchasing <b>Cami</b>), so this time I decided to try one of their palettes - You Had me at Hello was my pick.</div>

<br />
This shadow palette includes 12 <u>Pressed Powder Shadows</u>, a mix of matte and metallic shades that feature beige, brown and gold tones with a touch of peach, pink and plum, perfect for everyday looks but also for bold and dramatic eyes... for $18 what else could I ask for?!<br />
The packaging is absolutely stunning, with a velvety finish touch and magnetic closure, very compact and it comes with a pretty decent size mirror, I'm pretty sure this will be my new travel palette! <br />
<br />

What did you think of these swatches?<br />
I'm truly happy with this palette, and I know I'll be reaching for it pretty frequently :)<br />
Have you tried ColourPop cosmetics?<br />
I know I love them, and it sucks that's so hard to get them here, otherwise my collection would be much bigger ahah<br />
<br />
Thank you for reading,<br />

Hello loves! Happy Holidays!<br />
It's finally Christmas time and even though around here there's no such thing as a White Christmas, you know with snow and stuff, it is pretty cold outside and Sunday mornings call for a warm batch of cookies. I thought these <b>Chocolate Crinkle Cookies s</b>creamed Christmas so I had to try and make them and since they turned out pretty good, and you guys seemed interested in them over at my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/m.onica/" target="_blank">instagram</a>, I decided to share the recipe...so let's go, it's <a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/search/label/food?max-results=5" target="_blank">#bakingwithmonica</a> time!<br />

<li>In a mixing bowl cream together the butter with both sugars until light and fluffy.</li>
<li>Add the eggs one at a time until combined. Mix in the vanilla extract.</li>
<li>In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder.</li>
<li>Start adding the dry mixture to the wet ingredients in thirds until fully combined.</li>
<li>Cover the bowl with plastic wrap & chill for at least 4 hours or overnight - this step is very important, I only waited 2 and a half hours and it was a mess to roll the dough!</li>
<li>Preheat the oven to 175º C and line baking sheets with parchment paper.</li>
<li>Shape about a tbsp of dough into little balls and roll them in the powdered sugar.</li>
<li>Bake them for 12 minutes and transfer them to a cooling wrack.</li>

Hello loves! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How have you been?<br />
Today I bring you a post for all my Secret Santas out there (or any of
you who might want to ship some presents to my door - comment down below
and I’ll text you my address *joking*)</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway this is a collection of things I wouldn’t mind finding under my
Christmas tree and I thought I’d share it with you because maybe you can
use it as a Gift Guide (<a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2016/12/super-last-minute-christmas-giftguide.html#more" target="_blank">last year's</a>) to help you get the perfect present for the
beauty, fashion or home interior lover in your life!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Beauty bits:</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ever since I got my hands on the <i>Huda Beauty</i> liquid matte in <a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2017/02/cult-beauty-haul-first-impressions-on.html#more" target="_blank">Trendsetter</a>, Bombshell has been on my wishlist, same goes for the Hoola bronzer,
which I’ve been using everyday in the miniature version. The NARS
eyeshadow duo is on my list since my <a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2017/05/birthday-wishlist_14.html#more" target="_blank">birthday</a> and recently I’ve been
wanting to try Caudalie’s Beauty Elixir.. how cute is the Christmas
packaging?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Fashion bits:</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the clothes department I’ve really really really been craving a
long masculine cut grey coat! And as for accessories, minimal jewelry is a
constant in my life.. and I’m in need of some dainty gold earrings and
rose gold watch :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Home/lifestyle bits:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love my home decor pieces and <a href="https://pt.flyingtiger.com/" target="_blank">Tiger</a> has an amazing gold lamp and copper wire baskets I’ve been eyeing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also I’ve yet to find the perfect 2018 agenda, it has never been so hard ugh</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A fancy mug, a candle, a trendy phone case, cutesy stationary and desk accessories are always a good idea, just saying!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello loves!<br />
How are you doing?<br />
Just a few days ago I was wishing on Fall and here we are skipping it straight to Winter.. Brrr!<br />
I’ve already grabbed my winter coats and scarves.. what about you? Are you still able to get away with just a Fall coat?<br />
Anyway, it’s almost Christmas!! Who’s excited for the holidays? I have
yet to put up my decorations and come up with my wishlist.. Am I late or
is it still too early? ahah<br />
<br />
Happy Holidays!<br />
Thank you for reading,</div>

Hello loves!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Almost five months later I'm finally back. This (not so) little break from the blog took place because I got a new job which came with a few adjustments in my schedule and routine but I feel like I'm finally settled, happy with where I'm at and ready to embrace this little project of mine back :)</div>

Last time I've posted in here it was the beginning of Summer and I had just come back from my trip to Milan (<a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2017/05/milan-travel-photo-diary_28.html" target="_blank">Travel Diary here</a>) and now in a blink of the eye we're in November, can you believe it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time flies by so fast, Christmas is right around the corner and soon it will be 2018 *major gasp*<br />
Sadly the weather in Portugal isn’t coping with me... the days still
feel like summer, I can’t wear my cozy sweaters and get in the holidays

But last month I took a little trip to London and I got a little taste
of Fall, walking in the parks with a big coat on, a warm beverage and
nutty pastry in hand and gorgeous leaf backdrops! <i>Let me know if you’d
like to see a London Travel Photo Diary as well, I took thousands of pictures
as usual ahah<br />
</i><br />
Anyway, I’m so excited for the cooler weather to finally arrive and off
course I have a huge Fall Wishlist, here are some of the pieces - one of
the sweaters already lives in my closet, head over to my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/m.onica/" target="_blank">instagram</a> to

Hello my loves!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How have you been? I'm sure most of you will agree it was more than time I've tried <b>MAC cosmetics</b>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh well, I live in Coimbra and unfortunately it is not very easy to get hold of the brand here (or any other makeup brands - we don't even have Sephora ughh) but on our <a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2017/05/milan-travel-photo-diary_28.html" target="_blank">trip to Milan</a>, me and my sister each grabbed a lipstick bullet, and later on my <a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2017/06/what-i-got-on-my-birthday.html" target="_blank">birthday</a> my friends (one of them currently living in Lisbon) gave me a mineralize skinfinish :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's take a look at the products!</div>
<a name='more'></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK-Gy-dDJOUQawVEBEsCkKKFAlVZzsUYuMFpqDdE5eybEMPJVlq79vXGN4tfsFZfB_TBA9JTyletxQgw3O1CucHon8i_fDAdqZ5Qe7YgbmtPSv6LemOYirC5kBJlPNu3_RNoe8BBk283I/s1600/IMG_7224.JPG" imageanchor="1"> </a><div style="text-align: center;">
The lipsticks we grabbed were <i>Velvet Teddy</i>, a warm browny matte nude, and <i>Brave</i>, a mauvy pinky nude in satin finish. Both these colors are MAC classics and I'm sure you're tired of hearing about them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really love these.. I can see the hype here! The formulas are great, very creamy and pigmented and they last pretty well on the lips. I do prefer the satin over the matte though and thank God because I almost bought <i>Mehr</i> instead of Brave, a very similar color in matte (does not mean I won't buy it in the near future anyway ahah)<br />

The powder I got was my deary Mineralize Skinfinish in <i>Soft and Gentle. </i>This
highlighter looks gorgeous on the pan, swatches beautifully but on the
face it shows up a little too light... I wish it was a little more
champagne. I only applied it with a brush though, might try to use my
fingers to see if it picks up better :) <br />

So my overall first impression of MAC's products is two big thumbs up!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The products are great, I love the textures, how they apply, even the smell...not to mention the sleek packaging ahah<br />
I'm more than ready to grow the collection :)<br />
<br />
Thank you for reading,<br />

I've came back from my trip to Italy, I started at a new job and I turned
26 (yes... can you believe how fast time flies?!) all this in a span of
two weeks, two very chaotic weeks, with tight schedules and new
routines... But here I am bringing you my Milan Travel Photo Diary!</div>

Our
flight departed from Oporto super early on Thursday morning, but between
the plain, transfer and subway, plus the one hour time difference, we
arrived to the <i>Piazza del Duomo </i>around midday. It was a grey,
gloomy afternoon.. we looked around, took some pictures and looked for a
place to eat some lunch - we turned out eating pizza at <b>Spontini.</b></div>

I went on this trip with my sister, and we stayed at our cousin's
house who's working in Milan but he could only meet us in the late
afternoon so we spent the day carrying our backpacks, but still saw
plenty of the city despite ending up sitting down with a cappuccino
waiting for him when it started to rain.</div>

<span class="m_-4504546603408219074s2">We
saw plenty of Milan on that first afternoon... the <i>Duomo</i>, the <i>Galleria
Vittorio Emanuele II</i>, the <i>Palazzo Reale</i>, <i>Piazza Mercanti</i>, plenty of
churches, plenty of stores, even the <i>Castello Sforzesco</i>. Honestly I
think one full day is enough to see this city, but we had plenty of time so ended up seeing the same places a few times.</span><br />

Friday we spent the entire day walking around the city, started by
visiting <i>San Bernardino Alle Ossa</i> and other churches, walked by the
<i>Università Statale</i> and <i>Torre Velasca</i>, went to <i>Sant'Eustorgio</i>, passed by the
<i>Colonne</i> and <i>Porta Ticinese</i> and ended up eating a Panzerotti in <i>Navigli</i> for lunch.</span><br />

then headed to <i>Arco della Pace</i>, explored <i>Parco Sempione</i> and <i>Castello Sforzesco</i>, stopped by a few shops on <i>Via Dante</i> (and picked up MAC's Brave from my <a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2017/05/birthday-wishlist_14.html" target="_blank">Birthday Wishlist</a>) on our
way back to the <i>Duomo</i>, to visit the cathedral and go up to the terraces
where you
can see the entire city, sadly when we were up there it started to rain.. but as soon as we got down the sun started shining again and
we got the prettiest pictures of the Duomo :)</span><br />

we went away from the city to beautiful Verona (a separate post coming
up soon) but when we got back in the evening we went to a bar in <i>Piazza
Vetra</i> to do the aperitivo, a concept most bars and restaurants
practice,
where you buy a cocktail starting from 10€ and you have access to a
buffet with pastas, salads, pizzas and a whole lot of other different
foods, including desserts. </span><br />
<span class="m_-4504546603408219074s2">After the aperitivo we walked through
<i>Colonne</i> and <i>Navigli</i> where most people gather around
at night.</span><br />

<span class="m_-4504546603408219074s2">I enjoyed Milan, it is a nice city, it must be a great place to live at but to be honest there's not much to visit, you can see it all in a short time. Apart from all the touristy attractions the city has, what I most enjoyed were the random buildings, the street art, the flower covered restaurants and shops in all the little corners and running into medieval spots and grand churches in the heart of the big city!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="m_-4504546603408219074s2">Even though I really enjoyed Milan I have to say it was not what I expected from Italy, if you know what I mean, the city is not the typical Italy we see in movies... Verona and Bergamo were a whole different story, but I'll tell you more about it soon :)</span></div>

Hello loves!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you're reading this I'm currently in Milan, Europe's Capital of fashion :) but I wanted to leave a post ready for today and since my birthday is only a few days away, on the 24th, this is the ideal time to share with you my Birthday Wishlist!
</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a collection of items I would love to get on my birthday, some have been on my wishlist for quite a while and if I don't get them as presents I might need to get my hands on them buying them myself ahah</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's split this into categories, shall we?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Fashion</b> - The <i>CK logo sweater</i> in grey is a dream, as well as those <i>Nike Air Max Thea</i>, and is it even worth mentioning the <i>Chloé Faye Medium</i>? I love this bag, especially in grey, but not even in my wildest dreams I expect to have it anytime soon, but I will settle for a knock off, I know Shein had a pretty good one! (hint :p)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A more 'realistic' present I'm hoping for in this category is a <i>Minimal Gold Plated Necklace</i>, and I'm loving <a href="https://www.parfois.com/pt/colecao/colar-925-sterling-silver-e-gold-plated/?id=51&idp=201411" target="_blank">this one</a> from <i>Parfois</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Technology</b> - I usually don't ask for techy gifts but this year there are two products I've been wanting pretty bad! The <i>Lumee Selfie Light Case</i> or the <i>GlowMe LED Selfie Ringlight</i>, to get that perfect selfie ahahah and the <i>HP Sprocket</i>, this amazing device that prints pictures directly from your phone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Home Decor</b> - I love minimal and trendy decor pieces, anything featuring brassy gold or copper and marble, and I've found some <i>Jewelry Organizers at Flying Tiger</i> that I'd love to bring home. I also put in this category the <i>Capture Your Style Book by Aimee Song</i> because after reading it and learning loads about Instagram it will look great on my coffee table :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Makeup</b> - This is always the bigger category in my wishlists, I have nothing to say in my defense ahah</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm wanting a bunch of eyeshadows starting with my favorite brand <i>Zoeva Naturally Yours</i> (want to know more about Zoeva Eyeshadows? <a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2016/12/zoeva-cocoa-blend-eyeshadow-palette.html" target="_blank">Click here!</a>), followed by <i>Morphe's 35F Palette</i> and <i>NARS Eyeshadow Duo</i> in Isolde or Hammamet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And to help apply these beautiful shadows I'd also love to get the new <i>Real Techniques Eye Shade and Blend Brush Duo</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly, I'm dying to try a few products from a brand I own anything from, <i>MAC Cosmetics</i>, and the <i>Mineralize Skinfinish</i> in Soft and Gentle as well as the Velvet Teddy and Brave <i>Lipsticks</i> are at the top of my list!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, these are just things I'd like to get but I would be happy with cake and flowers or a simple card :) Not used to getting much presents anyway! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you for reading,</div>

Hello loves!<br />
How have you been? Life has been quite busy lately, a lot happening.. goodbyes, new beginnings, countdown to a trip (travel diary coming next) so I've been lacking on the blog, but today is the day.. And I bring you a Top 10 under 10, a collection of my favorite products all under the 10€ mark!<br />
Let's see it...<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Puix5GA-Az4TkZFEv5slZup7e-hqgAaiCIKs-JpZafG4pRjLaJAFh70QrocQzL-qSyjVT88NZVqL4oMUMjTeQUhodjEbfZLOWD1qF-k6TPBE_tqbYhEzlto8lyBZcojCjfZE0ZdeTMQ/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+29+20.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Puix5GA-Az4TkZFEv5slZup7e-hqgAaiCIKs-JpZafG4pRjLaJAFh70QrocQzL-qSyjVT88NZVqL4oMUMjTeQUhodjEbfZLOWD1qF-k6TPBE_tqbYhEzlto8lyBZcojCjfZE0ZdeTMQ/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+29+20.jpg" /> </a><br />
My #1 aka my holy grail - the <i>Maybelline </i><b>Instant Anti-Age The Eraser Eye Concealer </b>in Light (7.99€, Maquillalia). I use this product pretty much everyday, it helps me with my undereye bags and any spots or redness around my face, I rarely leave the house without it, sometimes even on its own.<br />
<i> </i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_9KU06ERUu1g3EK8lQfHlJ4sXs12oC1KHYCmsw1uZjuoDcatOaJa0CziqtHbbOVjbQixII3YJIrrBtWr0pwBbe7zHbo85M-CP4RD8lNDzYvNhvqktxxNMzcL3ZPq7wp-kKLuy5f5-D8Y/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+32+45.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_9KU06ERUu1g3EK8lQfHlJ4sXs12oC1KHYCmsw1uZjuoDcatOaJa0CziqtHbbOVjbQixII3YJIrrBtWr0pwBbe7zHbo85M-CP4RD8lNDzYvNhvqktxxNMzcL3ZPq7wp-kKLuy5f5-D8Y/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+32+45.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
The #2 has to be the <i>Makeup Revolution</i> <b>Radiant Light Highlighter</b> in Breathe (5.95€, Maquillalia). I picked this baby up because Makeup Revolution claimed it was Khloé Kardashian's favorite highlighter and let me tell you I've fallen in love with it and use it religiously. This powder highlighter is very subtle, giving my skin the perfect amount of glow for everyday, but it can also be built up for a more intense result. <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfOYMzJUiOXJ-EpfDRWGfYK_zFm5M83_WxHeEg9KKBQ6uvJnz_W1HWeOK_dACE5lSkhFxZwwqrQG8Wpt4vC-Kqi005pbTvxNG5y-W-FdpYSaTDwzFYyFpBpzGToJBZDki8lkJEEtYH3fY/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+30+18.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfOYMzJUiOXJ-EpfDRWGfYK_zFm5M83_WxHeEg9KKBQ6uvJnz_W1HWeOK_dACE5lSkhFxZwwqrQG8Wpt4vC-Kqi005pbTvxNG5y-W-FdpYSaTDwzFYyFpBpzGToJBZDki8lkJEEtYH3fY/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+30+18.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
The #3 is my favorite mascara, <i>Maybelline</i>'s <b>Lash Sensational Mascara </b>in Black (7.99€, Maquillalia), for me this beats all the mascaras I've tried yet, including way more expensive alternatives such as Too Faced's Better Than Sex.<br />
<br />
The rest of my top 10 comes in no particular order.<br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBqWp1IzZeY-P-yDUPdMCfEFgwIpmUZdfbOgUltfajIDB19Ymy38NHrzh18B2MfsMygoRdpcS5bJMkDl7vpXwaTgqZt5D4FYjo30f4saKUmC3oLVeIlmaUFwGrcUdQ7tWEdvwJYYZzj0g/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+26+25.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBqWp1IzZeY-P-yDUPdMCfEFgwIpmUZdfbOgUltfajIDB19Ymy38NHrzh18B2MfsMygoRdpcS5bJMkDl7vpXwaTgqZt5D4FYjo30f4saKUmC3oLVeIlmaUFwGrcUdQ7tWEdvwJYYZzj0g/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+26+25.jpg" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Garnier</i>'s <b>Micellar Water All In One</b> 125ml (1.35€, Maquillalia). I like this product a lot, I usually use it as a tonic after removing my makeup and cleansing my face to make sure it is completely clean and free of makeup, or I simply apply it to the face on those no makeup days when I'm feeling oily and in need of a refreshment.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNhNUx0hDhCSK6zZhC7AahQ-m5K1GCSyN2JH-l-g2RdUNTQqG_kZKO1VgeE5fkPkO3d1sWMW38QN2tYsJODlL_j_0I3KJ7CEdoNpLN0Ox026XbeY-J71zkFUqiRtMayt15jIHYfVB9gG4/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+28+14.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNhNUx0hDhCSK6zZhC7AahQ-m5K1GCSyN2JH-l-g2RdUNTQqG_kZKO1VgeE5fkPkO3d1sWMW38QN2tYsJODlL_j_0I3KJ7CEdoNpLN0Ox026XbeY-J71zkFUqiRtMayt15jIHYfVB9gG4/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+28+14.jpg" /> </a><br />
The first lip product I'm gonna talk about is <i>Sleek</i>'s <b>Matte Me Liquid Lipstick </b>in Birthday Suit (6.49€, Maquillalia), my favorite liquid matte lipstick formula and color, match made in heaven!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaOg-vYnkPFZ-gHgZn70Z_IPdgEetZX2nhTBGK8e7GlFBJdTb-roFByCj9aaRWuXWvZxQh0clqT6HZJC_wdWt5LsZdAA74-8JELBdeJV906X_uEzGGFdv1Ajg9ifKkGd8dIOERec8fCo0/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+30+44.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaOg-vYnkPFZ-gHgZn70Z_IPdgEetZX2nhTBGK8e7GlFBJdTb-roFByCj9aaRWuXWvZxQh0clqT6HZJC_wdWt5LsZdAA74-8JELBdeJV906X_uEzGGFdv1Ajg9ifKkGd8dIOERec8fCo0/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+30+44.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Another favorite of mine is <i>NYX</i>'s <b>Soft Matte Lip Cream </b>in Stockholm<b>, </b>beautiful color, comfortable wear. <br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Also among my favorites is <i>Essence</i>'s <b>Lipliner </b>in In the Nude (1.29€, Wells). This super affordable lipliner glides super smoothly on the lips, the color is my perfect kind of nude and it lasts really well without smudging. So far from all the lipliners I've tried including Primark, Kiko and Kylie Cosmetics, only the Huda Beauty Bombshell beats this Essence one! <br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Next we have the <i>ColourPop </i><b>Super Shock Eyeshadows </b>(5$, ColourPop). I love all the colors and all the finishes I've tried (check out my <a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2017/03/colourpop-haul-ultra-matte-and-satin.html" target="_blank">ColourPop Haul</a><i> </i>to know more about them), the formula is super buttery and easy to blend, a dream to work with, worth every penny - which is a bargain to begin with!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj750ZCfLdVikOmZq-YnzUdWJ9LBblJUgJ51RnMAOvylY1OWJx-K7ddERmC8tJJQFc37AaMgq81to9DFYpjrPlvRTNOgYUcld3sangiIoO4tVnvs7cbbflrgrI6wtLzyazBFwLn0bQ_Rk/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+28+43.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj750ZCfLdVikOmZq-YnzUdWJ9LBblJUgJ51RnMAOvylY1OWJx-K7ddERmC8tJJQFc37AaMgq81to9DFYpjrPlvRTNOgYUcld3sangiIoO4tVnvs7cbbflrgrI6wtLzyazBFwLn0bQ_Rk/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+28+43.jpg" /> </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also from ColourPop, the <b>Ultra Satin Lip </b>in Alyssa also made it to my top (6$, ColourPop). I prefer this formula to the matte one which can be a bit drying, on the contrary the satin is super comfortable, very pigmented and not too shiny for my liking, plus this shade is beautiful, the perfect mauvy pinky nude. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWm5Vmb-Y5FIDi2vM3IZ4Kfb8AGNWRN-dRJ09ufkd6HSem-r_3IUsWQ5uQYNuEGpwflU2jPh-HorUgX4rwc0SaXD6Pi0c1wOyZUbjgrW0jKlNwsmU6YU5ha2nRbZw2bUw_9WZVOJR2J3g/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+31+57.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWm5Vmb-Y5FIDi2vM3IZ4Kfb8AGNWRN-dRJ09ufkd6HSem-r_3IUsWQ5uQYNuEGpwflU2jPh-HorUgX4rwc0SaXD6Pi0c1wOyZUbjgrW0jKlNwsmU6YU5ha2nRbZw2bUw_9WZVOJR2J3g/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+31+57.jpg" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Lastly, is the most expensive item on this list, the <i>Milani </i><b>Baked Blush </b>in Luminoso (9.19€, Maquillalia), this shade is very versatile because supposedly you can use it as a blush, bronzer or even highlight, you can build it up or blend it down. I usually apply it as a blush gently swiping it over the cheeks, it is very velvety and let me tell you I put it up there next to NARS Orgasm.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_MIqxC1iQ8cRIC0uw3VUbkunvFVuz5uGSFWAR-rHlwHPmZAZNih4Hm3oHmDZT3loHgITTt2oVt4EmPWJlj6oW0HF7Gg4IkGoUmkPK3malvvfOqdJhSwrWO2b3m8KEnKYavuMw7FO9Vak/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+35+41.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_MIqxC1iQ8cRIC0uw3VUbkunvFVuz5uGSFWAR-rHlwHPmZAZNih4Hm3oHmDZT3loHgITTt2oVt4EmPWJlj6oW0HF7Gg4IkGoUmkPK3malvvfOqdJhSwrWO2b3m8KEnKYavuMw7FO9Vak/s1600/Photo+25-04-17%252C+11+35+41.jpg" /> </a><br />
And we're done! 10 amazing products under 10€ and two learned lessons:<br />
1 - You don't need to spend a ton of money to get good quality products and achieve the perfect look.<br />
2 - I shop waaaay too much at Maquillalia.com ahah<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello loves! Happy Easter! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Usually around the holidays and festivities I'm in charge of the desserts and since I haven't done a #bakingwithmonica post in a while (check out the previous ones <a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2015/10/bakingwithmonica-walnuts-cinnamon.html" target="_blank">1</a>/<a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2016/01/bakingwithmonica-chocolate-braid.html" target="_blank">2</a>/<a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2016/10/bakingwithmonica-marble-cake.html" target="_blank">3</a>) I thought Easter was the perfect opportunity to share a recipe with you - my super easy No Bake Cheesecake<b>.</b><br />
<b></b><br />
<a name='more'></a>I usually make this Cheesecake with a Raspberry sauce (frozen raspberries, sugar and lemon juice) and let me tell you it turns out even better than this Chocolate Ganache one but I ran out of frozen berries and I thought I'd improvise and I'm sure all the chocolate lovers out there will love it.<br />
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><i>Warning: This is not a vegan or diet recipe, if you´re counting calories click out.</i></u></b><br />
<br />
<ul>
</ul>
<u>Base</u><br />
<ul>
<li>13 Digestive Cookies </li>
<li>2 Tbsp of butter </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCOhlRtbqlnVjNq6j4lixCbF1JDE6v0MfCye5bLUPPlp9XlApAJKVI9pl7jN2fgw79zOlANGGc-zNU5oZT_NEMoEwPZ6hBE2qORg3Rrj86qO9pAnbUHEAcERzyZBH9nCsOiR8q8IIpSEc/s1600/Photo+15-04-17%252C+18+07+52-horz.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCOhlRtbqlnVjNq6j4lixCbF1JDE6v0MfCye5bLUPPlp9XlApAJKVI9pl7jN2fgw79zOlANGGc-zNU5oZT_NEMoEwPZ6hBE2qORg3Rrj86qO9pAnbUHEAcERzyZBH9nCsOiR8q8IIpSEc/s1600/Photo+15-04-17%252C+18+07+52-horz.jpg" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I reduced the cookies into fine crumbs by smashing them with a wooden spoon inside a zip lock bag and then mixed the crumbs with the melted butter until getting a wet sand texture. I then transferred the mixture into a springform pan pressing it tightly to the bottom and chilled it.<br />
<br />
<u>Filling</u><br />
<ul>
<li>200 mL of heavy cream (used light)</li>
<li>400 g cream cheese (used reduced fat)</li>
<li>4 leaves of unflavored gelatin </li>
<li>Powdered sugar to taste (180-200 g)</li>
<li>Splash of vanilla extract</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYt0ytZNjtTKtmbQMmrDzSI9kabYT7fInL0yChip9aaCt0Ne6kJZNJFlWkRflPl_OEFyAecG5QWJCAnwaCz7P8bJgeXQs0Dw7S_Vr2a4jL42E3wdJrpiS_BNinWahKqYiQoJynDa5M_Qk/s1600/Photo+15-04-17%252C+18+29+21-horz.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYt0ytZNjtTKtmbQMmrDzSI9kabYT7fInL0yChip9aaCt0Ne6kJZNJFlWkRflPl_OEFyAecG5QWJCAnwaCz7P8bJgeXQs0Dw7S_Vr2a4jL42E3wdJrpiS_BNinWahKqYiQoJynDa5M_Qk/s1600/Photo+15-04-17%252C+18+29+21-horz.jpg" /> </a><br />
I first beat the cream cheese, that must be at room temperature, to avoid lumps and then add the heavy cream and beat it until whipped. I add the gelatin, after soaking it in cold water until soft and melting it in a <i>bain marie</i>, and the vanilla extract as well as the powdered sugar (preferably sifted) and beat some more.<br />
I transfer the mixture to the springform and tap it into the counter by letting it fall of some height to remove any air bubbles.<br />
<br />
<u>Topping</u><br />
<ul>
<li>200 g of dark chocolate (used 64% cocoa)</li>
<li>200 mL of heavy cream (used light)<i> </i> </li>
</ul>

I melted the chocolate and cream together in the microwave in small time increments until the mixture was smooth, and let it sit in the fridge, as well as the cheesecake, overnight to set.<br />
In the morning I took it out of the fridge and let it get to room temperature while freezing the cheesecake for a while so it was easier to cover the entire thing with the ganache.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"> Hello loves! How are you doing?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I'm sorry I didn't have a post for you last Sunday but if you follow me around social media (if you don't you definitely should - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/m.onica/" target="_blank">instagram</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/m_onicagomes" target="_blank">twitter</a>) you know I went on a day trip to Abrantes and Tomar to celebrate the birthdays of two of my good college friends.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: small;"> Anyway, last Saturday morning I went to look around the shops at the mall and came back with a few pieces, so I thought I'd show you!</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">From <b>Zara </b>I got a pair of blue denim super high waisted skinny jeans</span><span style="font-size: small;"> (19.95€) that are supposed to be cropped at the ankle but hey I'm short so regular length for me ahah and a blush pink basic V neck tshirt that is slightly longer and rounded in the back (5.95€).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">At <b>H&M</b> I found in the sale section a cute long sleeve mock neck blouse style shirt (9.99€) in this beautiful rusty rose color.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Still on the clothes topic, I also got a bra from <b>Tezenis</b> and a two other bras and underwear from <b>Primark </b>(main reason I went shoping) but I'm not gonna show it to the world, it feels weird ahaha</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">From <b>Primark </b>as well, I bought a candle "Violet Dew" scented (5€), which I don't even like the scent to be honest I only got it for the jar it comes in, already thinking ahead to use it as a makeup brush holder after i'm done burning it ahah and I'm also showing you the cute journal (3€) my sister got because I think it's so aesthetic pleasing to keep on your desk :)</span><br />

<br />
Hello loves!<br />
Another Sunday, another blog post... and today I bring you a good old haul, this time from <b>ColourPop</b>.<br />
I'm gonna be showing you some of the <i>Ultra Matte Lips</i> as well as one <i>Satin</i> one, a few <i>Lippie Stix</i>, a couple <i>Super Shock Shadows</i> and a <i>Highlighter</i>. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
You can order the products from the <a href="https://colourpop.com/" target="_blank">brand's online store</a> and international shipping is free on orders over 50$, sadly it most likely will end up stuck in customs which will delay the arrival of the products and increase their cost.<br />
<br />
On to the actual products, here are the Ultra Lips in the shades <i>Gypsy, Echo Park, Clueless, Midi, Chi, Beeper</i> and <i>Tulle</i> all matte formulas and <i>Alyssa</i>, a satin finish (both formulas 6$).<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif-M2Ge7bAwW2zhItINUrqfSIbco5P1EsP7aRsEWkgoZ3vURezU6bu5Mo9ug2zO02nccxoMGBKJOFZSRJ7OxsjeVinwnG-QZvogQdcZzDp3cTjfal05KgvTL_7X-_PsYLf8fVRm256KHE/s1600/Photo+01-11-16%252C+10+22+32.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif-M2Ge7bAwW2zhItINUrqfSIbco5P1EsP7aRsEWkgoZ3vURezU6bu5Mo9ug2zO02nccxoMGBKJOFZSRJ7OxsjeVinwnG-QZvogQdcZzDp3cTjfal05KgvTL_7X-_PsYLf8fVRm256KHE/s1600/Photo+01-11-16%252C+10+22+32.jpg" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The colors are absolutely beautiful but they tend to be a little bit darker than they show on the tube. The mattes are really long lasting and surprisingly comfortable on the lips but I still prefer the satin finish even though it doesn't last as long.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiusLYe4wjhhz1ceZGWU6oybireWDt3PNkhR7pGjMbV74pmAz3SLH_WfxJXHjPMncLD4sx_nR5yBvRE0gTD4lUshPWKn3WaGRDOdu2L6rRRTcY7xumzziii9y4Wqhk7y4epbXiTzWDGYJM/s1600/lips.jpg" /><span style="font-size: small;">Swatches from left to right, Gypsy, Echo Park, Alyssa, Clueless, Midi, Chi, Beeper and Tulle</span><br />
<br />
But if the Ultra Lips aren't enough to win you over the Lippie Stix (5$) most likely will! These are even more amazing than their liquid brothers, the formula is so creamy and applies so smoothly on the lips and the color lasts long enough to satisfy my needs ahah<br />
These as well have different finishes but I've only tried two of them, the Pearlized in <i>Wet </i>and the Matte in <i>Pillow Talk, Hollywood BLVD</i> and <i>Cami.</i> <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBO3W7edtnyzHHx8ffNq6booDNw5v3O-a4IYX3llkXnjooPGVviApPK9ZicYvThkrewzWzpWPFVz_sRVvPKiWsxzVKjf-e2GVn5AjkmIOEpiK9ey0o46YaDeq1C2JjDySP9Toi8q5z6rE/s1600/Photo+26-03-17%252C+22+01+58.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBO3W7edtnyzHHx8ffNq6booDNw5v3O-a4IYX3llkXnjooPGVviApPK9ZicYvThkrewzWzpWPFVz_sRVvPKiWsxzVKjf-e2GVn5AjkmIOEpiK9ey0o46YaDeq1C2JjDySP9Toi8q5z6rE/s1600/Photo+26-03-17%252C+22+01+58.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
The matte formula is definitely my fave and Cami my kind of shade, I will certainly invest in more Lippie Stix in the future. <br />
<br />

<br />
As much as I loved the Lippie Stix, if I had to pick a favorite ColourPop product the Super Shock Shadows would be it... These are freaking amazing guys!<br />
The pigmentation on these is umbelievable, I find them creamy not chalky at all and very blendable, it's so easy to create gorgeous eye looks with these (see my Warm Shimmer Eye Look Tutorial <a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2017/03/warm-shimmer-eye-look-tutorial.html" target="_blank">here</a>). <br />
<br />

<br />
There are a ton of different finishes to choose from such as Matte, Satin, Pearlized, Mettalic, Ultra Glitter, etc and the most beautiful

Lastly, the only face product I've tried yet, a Pearlized Highlighter in <i>Wisp (8$). </i>This is a beautiful golden champagne tone that feels very velvety on the skin and makes your features pop like no other.<br />

Hello loves! How was your weekend?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'm here to talk about <b>Instagram</b>!
I'm not sure if you know this about me, but Instagram is my absolute favorite social media app and where I spend most of my online time, always checking new posts from the accounts I follow.
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a name='more'></a><span class="m_20623085698649591s2">I'm
now fully converted to <i>Instastory</i>, it's so much easier to have
everything in the same place so I kinda left snapchat aside and share my
daily life in my story quite a lot.</span>
<br />
<div class="m_20623085698649591p2">
<span class="m_20623085698649591s2">But
when it comes to my actual feed I put a whole lot more effort into it,
taking my time to take pictures, edit them and plan how and when to post
them in order to make it all match (well sometimes it just doesn't) and
get them
out there when most people will actually see and engage with them - let
me know if you'd like to learn which apps and tricks I use to manage this.</span></div>
<div class="m_20623085698649591p2">
<span class="m_20623085698649591s2">Anyway, today I'm here to show you<span class="m_20623085698649591Apple-converted-space"> </span>how I edit my pictures from the camera roll straight to my feed!</span></div>
<div class="m_20623085698649591p2">
<span class="m_20623085698649591s2">All
my instagram pictures are taken with my iPhone SE and edited pretty
much the same way using three major apps - <b>VSCO, Facetune</b> and <b>Snapseed.</b></span></div>
<div class="m_20623085698649591p3">
<span class="m_20623085698649591s2"></span><br /></div>

<div class="m_20623085698649591p2">
<span class="m_20623085698649591s2">I
always start with <b>VSCO</b> where I <i>straighten</i> and <i>crop</i> the pictures if
needed and then apply a filter, most of the times is <i>HB1</i> with different
intensities depending on the photo.<span class="m_20623085698649591Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<span class="m_20623085698649591s2">I
then head to <b>Facetune</b> where I <i>whiten</i> my backgrounds and sharpen some

are a few free alternatives which you can use, for example for
whitening <b>Airbrush</b>
works pretty well.</span></div>

Hello lovelies :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Surprise!... I usually post on Sundays but today I wanted to wish you all <b>Happy International Women's Day</b>, so I thought I'd bring you a different kind of post from all the ones I did before - an Eye Look Tutorial in picture format off course (I haven't got the confidence to do youtube :P)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you enjoy!</div>

A while ago I was playing with makeup and posted a picture on my instagram (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BQwA1cHD0Jy/?taken-by=m.onica" target="_blank">here</a>) that a lot of people seemed to like, luckily I got pictures of the process, so here it is how to recreate this Warm tone Shimmer Eye Look (please excuse my brows guys, I'm letting them grow before going to get them professionally done ughh).</div>

I was trying to get a cut crease look, and that's why I used the concealer, but failed pretty bad ahah anyway I think it helped the Colour Pop shadow pop even more on the lid and the end result turned out really pretty. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also suck with eyeliner, it's so rare for me to use it, I definitely need to practice it more!</div>

lipliner has very similar packaging to Kylie's, and even the quality
reminds me of hers, it glides on the lips very smoothly and leaves them
the perfect matte, comfortable to wear and super long lasting. I haven't

part comes off from the actual pencil.<span class="m_3067802377247424728Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

for the formula, I had my doubts about it the first time I used it

like the way the lipstick looks on the lips, it is matte but not too
matte if you know what I mean, and even though I feel like it never
completely dries in the center of the lips it lasts pretty long and
doesn't transfer that
bad... as for eating and drinking, no matter how many formulas I've
tried I have yet to find the one who survives after a meal, that doesn't
leave me with a butt hole mouth ughh..</span></div>

Hello dolls! How are you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I've been MIA, I seem to be experiencing a writer's block! One of my goals for this year is to blog more and let me tell you.. I've been failing miserably! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm at a point where I have a lot of posts ideas, a few hauls and reviews already photographed, but I can't seem to get around to writing them.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, after almost a month without coming here, today I bring you a wishlist. Even though I am most excited for Spring, for longer and warmer days, Winter is here to stay a little longer but the sales are pretty much over! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This season I didn't take advantage of the deals and ended up not buying anything worth mentioning, therefore my Winter Wishlist is still quite long and I'm still looking forward to find some good pieces that I can transition into Spring (probably not in the sales anymore) like some lighter sweaters, those Nike Air Max Thea shoes, the "it bag" Chlòe inspired bag and that faux suede jacket I've been craving for so long!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some similar pieces as the ones in the picture above:</div>

Next comes the <u>Micro Brow Pencil</u>, a very precise brow pencil thanks to it's tiny tip, but that I don't use because sadly the shade I got, <i>Brunette,</i> is still too light for me. But I do love the spoolie it comes with and I use it very often.</div>

And I left my favorite to last, the <u>Ultimate Shadow Pallete</u> in <i>Warm Nudes</i>. I truly love this pallete, I reach for it on a daily basis, even when I use my <a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2016/12/zoeva-cocoa-blend-eyeshadow-palette.html#more" target="_blank">Zoeva Cocoa Blend</a>, I still manage to include one or two shades from this in the look.</div><br>
<div style="text-align: center;">

My eyeshadow looks for work tend to be more simple, so I usually only use the two top rows which are lighter and less pigmented. The bottom rows are way more intense and I leave them for going out at night or during the weekend when I wear bolder makeup. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These shadows don't last as long as my Zoeva ones, and maybe aren't as buttery but they blend as easily and they turn out being a lot cheaper considering they bring way more shades. I love this pallete so much, it is perfect for traveling, compact and sturdy packaging and a selection of beautiful matte and shimmer warm nude shades.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br><br>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And that's it, my collection of NYX products! Overall I'm happy with the products I own and I'm looking forward into trying new things from the brand and growing the stash ahah</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br><br>

I'm hoping to get out of the country more... and I want to finally start

Hello my loves! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you had an amazing Christmas full of love and family time, and also lots of presents.
This year I got super lucky with my gifts, and I'm gonna show you the bits I got... let's go!</div>

The first present I got was from one of my secret santas and you already saw it, because of our overlapping schedules we exchanged gifts real early and I featured my presents in my <a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2016/12/super-last-minute-christmas-giftguide.html" target="_blank">Super Last Minute Giftguide</a> - the warm and comfy Rudolf socks and the <i>Benefit</i> Do the Hoola and I also got a Merryteaser chocolate (long gone!)<br />

The gift from my sister you've also seen if you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/m.onica/" target="_blank">instagram</a> because I started using it way before Christmas ahaha - three <i>Zoeva</i> Rose Golden Vol 2 brushes (sorry I didn't clean them for the picture ups).<br />

From my other secret santa, a work colleague, I got just what I asked for - a power bank, can you believe I still didn't own one of those? I bet it's going to be super handy! And how cute is the little bag she gave me as wrapping for it?!<br />

From my cousin I got a cute pink bag/necessaire (which I still photographed) but ended up returning it because I have too many, so I traded it for two pairs of warm socks (I'm such a grandma, I love fuzzy socks).<br />

From all the rest of my family, mum, dad, aunt, uncle and grandad I got money which is always good to get ahah... Now that the sales are here I'm for sure gonna spend it!<br />
<br />
What about you? What did you get this year?<br />
Sorry this came a little late, I bet nobody is thinking about Christmas anymore, everybody is getting ready for the New Year's Eve right?<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading,<br />

got this year as an early present from one of my Secret Santas... shh
our secret!). It includes a bunch of cult products in mini sizes, which
are great
to try the products before investing a lot of money on the full size
ones without knowing if they work for you.</span></div>

Hello everyone! How have you been?<br />
I was hoping to get my hands on the new Zoeva <i>Caramel Melange</i> Eyeshadow Palette this past Black Friday so I could do a side to side comparison with this beauty, but since it sold out on Maquillalia (yet I still managed to spend over 60€) I'm just bringing you a review of the Zoeva <i>Cocoa Blend</i>.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I got this palette in the end of September and it has been my staple eyeshadow palette this fall alongside with the NYX Ultimate Shadow Palette in Warm Nudes (check out my beauty haul <a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2016/10/huge-beauty-haul-sephora-nyx-maquillalia.html" target="_blank">here</a>).</div>

The only product I've ever owned from the brand is the <i>Rose Golden Blush Palette</i> which I really like and you can read more about <a href="http://thatsomonica.blogspot.pt/2016/06/zoeva-rose-golden-blush-palette-review.html" target="_blank">here</a>,
but these eyeshadows made me fall in love with Zoeva. They are velvety
smooth, with great pigment and super easy to blend, and the color
selection allows you to create beautiful looks!</div>
