November flew away at a highway speed. One day we are celebrating Halloween and when we realise we are almost celebrating Christmas and eating Turkey (in my case codfish) with family. Nonetheless, I want to share my November & Autumn favourites, since December marks the beginning of Winter.
My First Colourpop Haul
11/20/2018
Colourpop is no stranger to beauty lovers. I've been dying to try out this products for the longest time and this year, with the help of a friend, I finally place my first order on their website. Spoiler alert: Everything is so nice!
Fenty Foundation Review & Thoughts
11/11/2018
As the end of the year approaches and Festivities start - Christmas parties, New Years Eve and such - if there's something that much be on point is foundation. Fenty Beauty was finally released here at Sephora by the end of August and I was lucky enough to get it right away. After much thought and use, I'll be sharing my thoughts on it.
October Favourites | 2018
10/30/2018
October was a very weird month. With some of the hottest and coldest days of the year, strange things in my personal life and new discoveries beauty-wise. I wouldn't believe it would be like this if someone had told me beforehand.
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid | A Review
10/26/2018
This post took a while to come out. But I guess it is better later than ever, specially when the topic is affordable skin care!
New Makeup I recently got | Small Haul
10/21/2018
After my birthday it was expected that I'd have already a major Haul here. But...for now I decided to only get these small bits. Mostly because I am hording until most of the Holiday releases and special kits (also Black Friday!!) And yet I still needed and wanted some treats.
Autumn has finally arrived (although in a bit of a bumpy way) and with that I am finally pulling out my comfy jumpers, stocking and of course: nail polish!
Autumn is slowly peaking through, after a really hot day in the beginning of October. Nonetheless, I have been already preparing my hair and body for the change of season, picking up products that will help me once the cold arrives so that I don't find myself in the middle of as unpleasant surprise.
My September Favourites | 2018
9/25/2018
September was a crazy month! For starters I worked at my faculty because of the new students that were enrolling in their first-year of BA or MA. It was also my birthday month and other peculiar things got to happen. Nonetheless, there I am to share my beauty favourites of the month.
After Blush, what I love the most is lipstick without much question. Specially in the colder seasons where I can got for my shades of choice: reds, wine and deep browns. Today I'll be sharing what shades I'll be wearing while transitioning from the extremely suffocating hot weather to the more pleasant breeze of Autumn/Fall.
The Autumn Blushes Edit
9/05/2018
September is here and with it all the comebacks: coming back to school, coming back to work and of course coming back to university. Another obvious comeback is the Autumn season. It is still really hot here, but I can already imagine myself drinking hot tea at night and getting comfy around my blankets.
Are makeup brushes worth the Splurge?
9/02/2018
Back in the day, makeup brushes were one of the biggest investments any makeup artists or makeup love would do. Eventually more affordable brush companies started to appear and with that a few transitioned into cult-like status, gaining popularity and updating their standards.
September Goals
8/31/2018
Another month, another goals I guess? I really enjoyed writing my August Goals last month so I'll be trying to do a post like this every month from now on!
My August Favourites | 2018
8/27/2018
After some months without posting my favourites, this month here I am to share both my favourites and some monthly experiences! Next month I'll be back to University and I am already working on getting back into routines and other stuff.
Why am I updating some old blog posts ?
8/21/2018
I guess today's post will be a bit different from the usual. I am no "blog expert" (as I am not popular enough to claim what it is best or not to get engagement). But I've read many thoughtful posts about the topic and today I want to discuss my take on one of them: Updating old blog posts.
My Favourite Foundation Brushes
8/17/2018
In a world everyone uses Beauty blender, I still tend to go for foundation brushes. Nothing against Beauty blender ( I am yet to try it out) or sponges in general, but I tend to go for brushes on a daily basics, perhaps because I never have to wet them. Today I want to shade my 3 favourite foundation brushes and why I love each one of them.
I have to admit, I was a bit scared of writing this post, mostly because I feel that this might come across as a unpopular opinion. But after trying to feel what everyone was feeling, I had to give in and admit that the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer might not work with me like it works for other people.
My Birthday Wishlist
8/10/2018
With my birthday coming up in September, I am already looking forward into getting some treats for myself. Today I'll be sharing my birthday beauty wishlist, mostly because there are other items - like books - that I really want but I might not share here before getting them.
Three Morning Skin Care Essentials
8/07/2018
I believe everyone has heard about the Sephora Lip Stains - now in both Matte and Metallic finishes - and how amazing they are. I have mentioned them before on the blog, but I got new shades and ultimately new favourites. Today I'll be sharing what I think about them and how much I love them.
August Goals
7/31/2018
Goals and achievement lists have been part of my planning lifestyle. There's nothing like sitting back and realising what you want to improve or accomplish. I decided to do this on a monthly basics and today I'll be sharing some of my goals for the month of August.

My Current Night time Skin Care Routine
7/23/2018
After a few months of settling down, today I'll be finally sharing my current Night time Skin Care routine. I decided to keep it as simple and consistent as possible. My skin has been okay, although stress and other things have caused some small issues. But nothing that a good routine cannot solve.

My heatproof makeup base
7/11/2018
Because no one wants to be melting
The Summer time usually means sunny days, the seaside and holidays. But it also means that the weather is super hot and not really friendly of make up. Usually I avoid completely wearing it, but there are always special events and days were I still want to look nice. Today I'll be sharing the products I use to create my heatproof makeup base.
Summer Goals for 2018
7/06/2018
Summer usually means that I won't be loading myself with tone of school work (or work in general) and I will have tone of free time for myself. Yet that does not mean that I won't be looking forward to score a few goals for this season before the beginning of the new semester.
Two Favourite Peach Blushes for Summer
7/04/2018
Getting that Hint of Peach
I love to wear peach blushes, specially during the Summer time. I don't know why, but there's always something in me that reminds me of of the warmth of the season. I also tend to either wear more warmer shades or to just do simpler looks - because no one enjoys having their face melting under 35º+ right?
Because once in a while, there's nothing like a treat
I haven't bought anything beauty related for a while. But with the end of this semester and finishing a few important staples on my skin care routine, I decided to do a small haul at Maquibeauty/Maquillalia (depending on where you are) and I have to say, I am proud. I almost thought about getting something that I didn't need (in this case more lipsticks) but I decided to stop. What I was going to get wasn't really want I wanted to purchase so I decided to stop and instead of doing a mistake, I'll wait patiently until my birthday.
Huda Desert Dusk Palette
6/15/2018
When the desert meets the eye
At this point, I believe almost everyone knows who Huda. Or knows her brand. I have to sat, it look me a while to get into the hype. Having her released at Sephora was for sure he impulse I needed in order to buy and try out products from her brand. This the story of how I decided to adventure myself into the ultra-hyped Desert Dusk Eyeshadow Palette.
How to make Spring and Summer brighter with Essie
There's nothing like applying a good bright nail polish during the warm weather. Perhaps it's the bright light and the bright colours. Or the fact that the days tend to be longer. I just love to apply it. And this Spring and Summer is no exception, specially surrounding my Essie nail polish collection.
Things I've learn in 2018 so far
6/03/2018
Because these six months have taught me a lot already
Can you believe it? We are already in June!! I was not able to blog much in May due to a mix of personal problems, work load at college and having health problems (specially allergies) to take care. I really want to resume regular blogging between the end of this month and July. I cannot promise a concrete date due to pending evaluations for this semester's courses.
Clinique Pop Blushes
5/06/2018
A Pop of Blush with Clinique
I believe I have been talking about these blushes for ages around the blog by mentioning them in various posts. And yet I have been for months - I am not joking - been planning to talk about these bad boys. I actually took three different sets of photos - and at this point the current set might have changed again before posting. If this ain't perfectionism, I don't know what it is.
April Favourites
4/30/2018
What I have been loving in April
Although I did not post my March Favourites, I thought it would be a good idea to still post post my April Favourites. This month was a mix of feelings - work is starting to appear, summer planning is also happening, God of War 4 was releasedFour Pink Blushes for Spring
4/24/2018
Blushing with Spring
Spring has finally started to pop up here. Although rain is necessary for maintaining good agriculture and nature in general, I was starting to get way too overwhelmed with the quantity of water pouring every single day - plus the storms, with thunders and crazy winds - and getting sick because I would get wet, the cold...you can imagine the drill.Soph x Revolution Eyeshadow Palette
4/15/2018
From Neutral to Bold, One palette for all.
I already shared my unconditional love for Soph and for her highlighter palette. And now here I am to share my opinion on her eyeshadow palette. Which is a very venturous thing for me, since I tend to stick with 12-eyeshadow type of palettes. I guess there's something specially about this one, right?

Etude House Any Cushion Cream Filter
2/13/2018
As I grew older, I started to enjoy more natural and fuzz-free bases. BB Cushions are a must-have for this! Although tried many, I tend to go for Etude House - and not, it's not just because of their really cute packaging.
Skin Care love from Korea
2/11/2018
I am a believer that we should take care of ourselves. Yet, I am guilty of not doing that as often as I should - long work schedules, too much work at the University, too tired, and so on. And yet, one of my main goals for 2018 is to love myself more. not only accepting myself as I am, but also making sure that I am nurturing myself and giving an occasional treat.
January Favourites
2/05/2018
As the month ended, another one came by. But before we start indulging into the new goods of February, let me present you what made me happier during January (at least regarding Beauty and Make up)
I'll try to pick up again the habit of writing about favourites during 2018, since I was not able to do so during 2016 and 2017. Let's cross our fingers!

Soap and Blotting
2/01/2018
Hello Hello!
I was meant to have this up on Monday...but work and a few bits and bobs related with my Masters degree happened and I had to hold on. But better later than never right?
Soap&Glory has been a cult brand for me ever since I heard bloggers like Zoella mention it. That made me curious and sparked interest. A while ago my mother sent a package that contained these two beauties from the "One Heck of a Blot" range and I could not be more excited!
