New In: Zara, H&M and Primark Haul

 Hello loves! How are you doing?
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 - instagram, twitter) you know I went on a day trip to Abrantes and Tomar to celebrate the birthdays of two of my good college friends.

Latest finds from Primark!



Hello dears!
It's been a while since I posted, but here I am to bring you a Primark haul.
Here I show you the things I found on two Primark trips, a bunch of clothes from the sale which were an absolute bargain (for real!) and I bought thinking about my upcoming vacation next week.
I also found an amazing faux cream suede jacket that wasn't on sale but I couldn't resist!

Summer Sale Finds - Part I

Hey loves! How you doing?
The sale has finally started and today I'm here to show you what I got on my first trip to the mall.
I didn't manage to find many great pieces, prices are still high and there were so many people in the stores, too much going on to my liking.
The stuff I got are shown above:
Shirt from Stradivarius (12,99€), coat from Lefties (17,99€), shoes from Zara (19,99€).

I want to go back and look for more stuff I still need like a cute lace brawlette, confy sneakers and some cropped pants.

What about you? Did you find anything good yet? Which is your favorite store to shop at during the sale?

Thank you for reading!

Maquillalia Haul

Hi again! Hope all of you had an amazing holiday season :) It's surreal that we're already in 2016, can you believe how fast last year went by?



Anyway, today I'm writing to show you what I bought on Maquillalia (which was supposed to be my sister's Christmas gift ahah). I placed the order online during the black friday sales because the prices were really inviting, and I really wanted to try some Maybelline stuff that's always so overpriced at my local drugstores.



I got The Nudes eyeshadow pallete (8,44€) and I'm really happy with the color range, the pigmentation, how it has shimmery and matte shades. It's a very pretty pallete and very wearable on a daily basis :)









I also got a Color Sensational lipstick in 342 Mauve Mania (3,89€), such a beautiful shade and creamy texture for such an incredible price!







Everyone has been talking about the Lash Sensational Mascara so I had to give it a go! I got the black one (6,49€) not the waterproof kind, because I usually have a hard time removing eye makeup --' I haven't tried it properly but I was glad it has a rubber wand.





I also ordered the Instant Age Rewind Eraser in Nude (5,84€), which turned out to be a little dark for me. I use it to cover up spots and redness but it's not brightening enough to use on the undereyes.





Lastly, Makeup Revolution had a deal going on where you got 3 products and only paid for 2, so I got the Powder brush (4,49€) and the Contour brush (3,79€) and got the Stippling brush for free.

Overall I think I got all products for amazing prices and I was very happy with the service at Maquillalia. The package arrived super fast and in great conditions and I even received a sample shampoo and two kinds of tea, which I've yet to try :)

Kiko Haul


Hello dears!

As you might know already if you follow me on instagram or read my last post, last week during my trip to Setúbal I went on a little splurge at Kiko, so now I'm going to share with you what I purchased.



 Infinity Eyeshadow - 210 Satin Brick 2€40

 Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow - 25 Light Taupe 6€90




Intensely Lavish Lipstick - 01 Lusty Peony 6€90

 Power Pro Nail Lacquer - 04 Rose Sand 4€90

When I got to the check out line to pay the girl told me about this deal going on where if you spent over 25€ you'd get an eyeliner from the new line for free, And lucky me my purchase was exactly 25€ not even one cent above --'


 Gel Look 2€90

The girl suggested this top coat, once I was buying a nailpolish, and I ended up bringing it. 
The eyeliner I picked was the Color Definition Eyeliner and Kajal in 01 Darling Butter (which I forgot to photograph, but you can see in the pictures with all the products at the beginning).


From left to right: lipstick, eyeyliner, eyeshadow stick, eyeshadow.

Here are the swatches of the products, sorry the quality isn't the best, I'll do a post showing a look using these products as well as the nail products :)
