May's Wishlist

Hi guys!
How's the week going so far? Mine is being busy as hell! Glad that soon is my payday, so I can treat myself with some goodies that I have been looked in a few online stores. Due to lack of spare time I am becoming a fan of online shopping. It's so easy and fast that then I don't feel like taking my car or public transport and head to a crowded mall, if I can have it all by just a mouse clicking!

This month I am craving for all the stuff listed below...the Mac lipstick in Russian Red is a must, as it's the lipstick that I mostly use and I lost it a few days ago :( . My second favourite from the list is the blue dress from Forever21, but first I have to be sure that they ship to my country! The rest of the list are most cravings than stuff that I really need. Hopefully I'll get most of them by the end of this month or maybe the next one!



May's Wishlist...
Pure Rock Tee - Oasap
Wedges - Asos
Sunglasses - Topshop
Peplum Top - Topshop
Shopping bag - Mango
Lipstick in Russian Red - MAC
Blue Dress - Forever21

What are you craving for this month? :)

Bourjois Translucent Smoothing Primer - Review

If you haven been taking a look at my beauty posts and reviews, you probbably know that I am not a makeup proffesional. Why do I say this? Well, I needed about fifteen years of using makeup to reallise of how much important is a base primer before using any foundation. 

Today I wanted to talk about the first primer I have used for first time in my life: Bourjois Translucent Smoothing Primer. As a followers of different beauty blogs I had read fantastic reviews about this one, and I decided to give a try!



Well, for those who doesn't know what a primer is ( I am aware there might be girls who doesn't know/never tried any). A primer is a product you apply right before your daily foundation. It helps to cover pores and blemishes, and it smoothes the skin so it improves the covering effect of your daily foundation significantly. In addition, your foundation stays perfect much longer. And I meant it!

Bourjois Translucent Smoothing Primer comes in a 7ml (0.24OZ) tiny plastic can. At first I thought the size it was too small compared to its price (around 8€) but I have noticed that you don't need to apply a great quantity of product.



This product is not a foundation, nor a moisturiser. The texture is quite different, thicker I would say, but it spreads smoothly. Something I like is tha lack of perfume, and my skin looks smoother and soft like a baby!



I definitely have to get into the worls of primers but I am totally delighted with this one. I fully recommend it. My foundation stays longer, I keep shines (I hate them, as I have oily skin) under control and I barely have to retouch my makeup during the day. I don't think I can ask for anything else.

Primark May Accessory Haul

Some time ago, I wrote another post (that you can find here) about the reasons why I love Primark so much. Prices are amazing, and even though the quality of the clothes isn't  the best, Primark offers a large range of trendy clothes at ridiculous prices. As an example, if I am looking for a fluor Tshirt because it's trendy but I don't want to spend a fortune in a garment that probabbly will be out of style the next year, I'd go to Primark, because I am aware it won't cost me more than 8-10€.


But more than garments, the main reason why I always visit Primark, at least once each two weeks, is to check out the new arrivals in complements and beauty products. Yesterday I visited my local store and I foccussed in getting some new ones.

For only 13€, this is what I got:

Patterned Headband - 2€ 
 Chain Headband in Black - 2€
Chain Headband in Camel - 2€
Set of Earrings - 3€
Large Paddle Brush - 2€
Lipstick Pen in Pink - 2€

Spending 13€ in six items, including a large brush and a lipstick I think it's such a great price, don't you think?

For those readers who doesn't have Primark in their countries (like the US, as an example) you can find very similar products in Forever 21 (see below). In fact, I'd refer to this store as the American Primark and you can order online (something that you can't do in Primark).

Chain Headband - Similar Here
Patterned Headband - Similar Here
Set of Earrings - Similar Here
Lipstick - Similar Here (in this case they only sell gloss)
Large Brush - Similar Here

Which are your favourites products from Primark and Forever21?

Outfit Of The Day: Tunic over Pants

From all garments you can find on my wardrobe, I think tunics are one of the most versatile pieces along with my so beloved leggings, so guess what? Today I decided to combine both! I really hate Mondays (as 99.9% of people worldwide, I guess), this means that I am not in the mood of looking for a very elaborated outfit, I just look for simplicity and comfort.


For today's outfit I chose this long-sleeved tunic I bought in a hippie street stall market in Marbella (Málaga, Spain) last year. It's amazing the great variety of hippie/bohemian styled tunics you can find there: I always come back home with a couple of pieces, every time I decide to visit that place. This time I combined it with a pair of black leggings from Primark and black wedges from Zara. As I said, simplicity comes first!



Tunic - Street Stall Market (similar)
Legging - Primark (similar)
Wedges - Zara (similar)



Tunics reminds me of 70's hippie styles, summers in Marbella (Málaga) and beaches in Ibiza. Yeah, if you have ever travelled to one of these places you know what I am talking about :). As a resident in Málaga for so many years, I am a lover of this type of garments in spring/summer.

Week #19 Summary - Instagram

7. Wednesday outfit of the day. Camel pants and white blouse.
8. View from my apartment. Blue, blue sky. Summer is almost here!

It's been such a busy week! I'd say, the busiest week from 2013 by far! I almost didn't have time to blog so all posts scheduled for this week have to be postponed for the next one. I hate having lack of time, since I have so many ideas but just not enough time to write about it. Hopefully next week I can organize myself better !

I wish you all a fantastic new week!

Currently Beauty Favourites



Hi there! It's been a long time since I don't write a post of this kind. Lately I have been using a bunch of new products, some of them ordered online, and I actually love all of them. When I find something that works really well I always run and tell my friends or someone who might be interested so, here I am!

These are my currently favourites. If you want to know a little bit more about them, keep reading!

GHD Heat Protect is a spray you apply right before using hairdryer or styler. It prevents heat to damage your hair. I have been using it for a week (I use hair dryer daily) and I can see such a big difference. My hair looks much better since then. I fully recommend it and that's why I put it at the top of the list.

The Body Shop Chocomania is another body butter from this brand. I have talked about this product in other post (that you can find here). Since I ran out of my previous one, this time I decided to purchase this body butter with  chocolate scent in the small size and take it with me everywhere. All I can say is that chocolate scent has surprised me nicely and now I have become a fan, I just love it.

It's the first time I buy a Sleek blush and I am wondering why I didn't got it before?? This highly pigmented blush blends perfectly on my cheeks and the colour I chose (Sunrise) is simply adorable.

This mascara is not one of my favourites, as I prefer to wear others that offer more coverage and volume. But last week I have been suffering an annoying sty on my right eye and I barely have been wearing makeup on my eyes, just a little bit of mascara. Well, I have been using this one and I have started to love it, since it gives a very natural look.

This is my latest 'gift' I have treated myself. This parfum from Clinique is simply perfect, and if you love intense scents, I recommend you to try it out. It's not a cheap fragance but it lasts for hours, and you don't have to put so much on yourself. I love the soap scent it leaves after a few hours.


This double brush from H&M has become a must-have on my beauty bag, althought I don't use the  foundation brush side as often as I used to.  I love the blush brush so much and it has a really nice price (around 3-4€). Mine is getting a bit worn out due to use but I'll definitely purchase another one in the future,


Well! I hope you'll find this mini list of my currently fav products helpful . If you have any question or simply want to give your opinion about any of them, don't hesitate and comment below!

Have a fantastic day!
