Travel Make Up bag and Skin Care picks
4/23/2014
So, here it is! Because of the April 25 - for those who don't know marks the end of the Dictatorship in Portugal - I had the week free and so had my best friend. So I decided to visit her again. I promise that I'll try to take more photos from Caldas da Rainha this time!
Anyway, I decided to share my travel make up - which is from Primark. For 4 euros, I really can't complain - and my skin care picks. I'll be spending 5 days there so I want to be prepared.
As you can see on my first photo, I'll be taking my NUDE'tude palette with me - not only because it's easy to take but also because I want to take photos from different looks. Because I want products that last me the all day, I'll be taking the Too Faced Chocolate Bronzer (with the old packaging) and my Nars blushes in Outlaw and Seduction.
I know, the eye section looks really crazy - I'll be taking the Too Faced Shadow Insurance mainly because I want to used it so that I can get a new one. My MAC paint pot in Painterly and my Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Birthday Suit are staples that couldn't be left behind along with a mini They're real and my current lash curler. For my brows I'll be taking my Catrice brow pencil and my Catrice brow mascara - I don't really love them but I need to use them up before investing in something else. As eyeliners? Sephora Eyeliners of course - I'm taking a white, a blue, a purple and a brown one.
For my Face I'll be taking my Too Faced Primed and Poreless - my favourite primer - and my Big Easy from Benefit (which will have a review uploaded this week). Because I really like a touch of highlighter I'll be taking my mini What's Up and my mini High Beam.
Lipstick department looks crazy I know. But I wanted to take advantage of the fact that I'll have someone to take me photos to do lip Swatches of MAC Sunny Seoul and Too Faced Juicy Melons. Kate by Rimmel London lipstick in 08 is my perfect nude colour that I always like to carry with me, along with a nice gloss like Sugarbomb from Benefit - a mini version from their Sugarlicious. So yes, I'll be out as a "vacation", but I'll be working on photos for upcoming reviews. very committed I know.

In my usual make up bag - which usually carries what you are seeing - I'll be taking my Stay Matte Powder from Rimmel London, a roller ball perfume from Woman's Secret, a lavera lip balm and a small powder brush from Essence.
My brush selection isn't really big...for blush and bronzer I decided to take the Argent Makeup 102 brushes and a contour brush from Real Techniques. Now, in the eye department, I admit...I went a little crazy. From Zoeva I'll be taking a blending brush, a regular shadow brush and a "pencil brush"; Argent Makeup 201 is a staple that can't be left behind; and for details and eyeliner I'll be taking the detail brush from Real techniques and a Muji brush (yes, they have make brushes...really soft ones actually!)

As a cleanser I'll be taking The Body Shop Cleansing Butter - a staple in my routine. Because I can't pass without face masks, I'll be taking a Cattier Clay Mask and Avène Cleanance Mask.
For my eye area I'll be taking my near death Lierac Dioptigel and my Bioderma Sensibio Eye - a new eye gel that I want to try out. As a spot treatment, I'll be taking my La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo - a staple.
As a moisturiser I'll be taking my La Roche-Posay Hydreane Legere and a bottle of La Roche-Posay Thermal Water.
So, would you take this much make up and skin care?
Take care, have a nice day!

Hello dears!
I said that I would be gone during the weekend, since I was going to visit my dear best friend Tercy. She is currently living in Caldas da Rainha because her college is there. Quite a nice village! We had a great time, from cooking, travelling - we went to Óbidos and to the beach as well - watching One Upon a Time in Wonderland (yes I'm a huge fan of the show! Alice, Cyrus and Knave are my favourite characters. And I hope that Alice gets to meet the Red Queen with her hood stick in her hands - if you know what I mean...).
Anyway, we also took the time to visit this beautiful park where we took amazing photos. I'll be sharing a few of my favourites today. The ones that you'll see were all taken by Tercy. She has a facebook page where she shows her amazing cosplay's. If you like Card Captor Sakura,Kobato and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles you will love her work for sure!

My look was quite simple. I didn't wear any makeup because we were just having fun and this photos where taken Sunday morning - I was leaving Sunday afternoon and I would probably fell asleep during the trip back home and I didn't wanted to do that with makeup on my face.
For clothing, my jacket is from Zara (I got it last year during Christmas) but you can get one that looks the same from Primark (and for half the price actually). My shirt is from Pull&Bear and I got it 2 or 3 years ago, but since tartan is quite fashionable this wear, you can easily get something like this anywhere. The trousers are from Bershka and they are pretty old and I don't know where you can get a similar pair. My bag is from Deeply and my boots are from Seaside, a Portuguese brand.
It was a really nice experience and I really want to repeat it again and again. Maybe spending more time than just a weekend, who knows?
Al last but not least, I want to leave you with my favourite photo.
Please take care everyone, have a nice day!
With Love,
Diana.
Helloo!
How are you? I'm right now melting because of the heat...We will be having a heat wave here in Portugal for the next week...thankfully I have my thermal water to save me!
So, I comeback from my trip on Friday morning, but I had to update my Portuguese blog first, and organize photos and edit them.
I decided to separate them. I only took shoot at two occasions, both in different places.
Today I'll be showing photos from the first day, when we visited a water mill. For those who aren't familiar to what it is, a water mill is a mill ( corn-cockle, which transforms corn into flour), that works because of force of the water. There are many types of water mills, depending on it's region and location (I believe my family owns at least one or two, I can try to look for them in October ) and this one is located next to a private "pool" (I need to show you you the pictures, so that you can understand).
The lady you see in the picture is the owner of the water mill. She was so kind showing us the mill and turn him on. On the Second picture the water was passing to that box, which was making the well work. On the Third one, where she placed that barrier, it was when I mill stopped to work.
This water came from a Water Source near by, which has a fountain.

And here is the mill inside. This is where the corn is ground and transformed into flour. That tiny wheel with the stick is what controls the quantity of corn that falls.
This is a very traditional system, and a lot of people still use this. Specially when they want to cook traditional bread, like corn bread and many others.
I really enjoyed this visit.
Tomorrow I'll show you where I would spend more of my vacations when I was little.
I hope that you enjoyed this post.
Please take care,
