I can't resist a little LUSH

As promissed, I am here to show you all my latest acquisitions from the wonderful, scented and amazing LUSH. 

 I've been seriously annoyed with the fact that I missed my opportunity to buy the Arizona Tote from BIMBA&LOLA and I really wanted to buy something for myself. Well, the next thing on my list was to take a little trip to LUSH! My mommy bought me a few things for Christmas but I always find new things to buy.

 First of all, my congratulations to the team working at LUSH in Amoreiras Shopping Center (Lisbon). Nice doesn't even begin to cover the way they treated me and it's good to see happy and joyous sales assistants (maybe the FUN-zical weekend helped a little). Thanks to their great mood, I brought home a few more things than anticipated.





 These were the things I bought (this tale doesn't end here). The Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly is amazing. If you look at some of my older posts, I already have the Woosh Jelly but it's almost over and so I decided to try the other and I am not disappointed. The colour is amazing, the blue glitter adds a little magic to it but what really convinced me was the smell. I thought Woosh smelled good, but Sweetie Pie is on a whole other level! Definitely a fan!

 Next up is the Glamorous Lipstick. It's part of the EMOTIONAL BRILLIANCE Line, along with the black eyeliner I bought, Independent. There are also liquid eyeshadows in the line. A while ago, my favourite all-time lipstick ended and the brand that made it decided to do some renovations and the lipstick colour I loved was no longer available ( it had a pink bubblegum colour that no other brand produced). I found a nice sober pink at M.A.C but I never gave up the search. And today I brought home a nice pink lipstick that reminds me of bubblegum and I love it!

 Finally, the Independent Eyeliner. My black eyeliner is near the end and I was looking for another one. Independent has a very thin brush and that's perfect and is twice the size of my old one. Also, it is a very concentrated formula (yes, lasts longer!) and dries very fast!
My adventure was not complete. The nice and super kind girls at the shop gave me 3 samples and I am anxious to try them on:


First there's the Fresh Face Mask, Cosmetic Warrior! As seen on the website, "This is the front line of defence for spot-prone skin."
Next is the Tea Tree Water, "Where the skin needs balancing, where there are spots, gentle tea tree is just the job."
Finally, the Imperialis Facial Moisturiser, "A cream suitable for all skin types, day and night."

Again, it is always a delight to go to a LUSH shop, not only due to the products (love 'em, can't get enough!) but also because of the wonderful people working there. *clapclapclap* guys, keep up the wonderful work!

Have a great week,
XOXO,

Universal

Being an enthusiast of all things from The Body Shop, I'm always looking forward for new products and ranges. Recently, the brand launched their Smoky Poppy line, with Turkish poppies and just in time for Valentine's day. I have featured the body lotion on this month's wishlist, but along with the line came another product. These Velvet Sticks are suitable for lips and cheeks. The colours look vivid here, but I tested them in the store and was a little disappointed. The coral one was also on my wishlist, but I found the colour to be very light on the lips.  So what did I bring? See the black one? "Black lipstick and black blush?" Naah!! The packaging is gorgeous, but I'm a sucker for black and pink. Also the poppy flower print blends in very well with the logo! Here's what's interesting: this stick is called "universal" because it works for everyone. But not everyone will get the same shade! The colour changes according to your skin's pH

5 fashion things having a job has taught me

Image
Ever since I finished college and started working, some changes have happened in my fashion life. I am the youngest member of the staff, this is my first (almost) full time job and the environment, although casual and laid back, requires a certain discretion and poise on my part. #1 Working at a school and having to deal with the parents as well as with the kids, cleavage/see-throughs/extremely short shorts and skirts are frowned upon. The first two are just rude in a school environment. As for skirts and shorts, I wear them a lot during winter (with tights!), but it becomes tricky in spring. I only wear them when it's to warm to consider anything else. Harem/aladdin pants are also acceptable. Just remember: the shorter the bottoms, the more coverage you should have on your top, going for a boat or round neck tshirt. #2 Balance your makeup. I struggled a little with this one. As much as I love black eyeliner, even when I use a super thin brush, I rarely make a thin line. This m

Colour wishes

With the months passing by and the light of summer holidays shinning brighter at the end of the tunel, i want colour. And light fabrics. I want the warmth of spring as it it slowly transitions into summer and shorts and high-heeled sandals. As always, I'm in love with the same brands. And I'm also trying to get away from my comfort colours and turning to brighter vivid tones, as yellow and red. OYSHO 's bikinis are lovely as always and it's going to be tough pickig just one. ZARA has had major improvements over the last seasons, making it hard for me to buy just what I need. The dress seems so fresh and the pants make me look slim and taller. Plus, anything with an oriental print is a winner with me! I'm addicted to bags; my parents have said this for years and I know it to be true. But how can I resist when BIMBA & LOLA  always make such pretty collections? Who wouldn't want a pretty red bag as these? Ever since I bought a backpack, I've ditched the sho
