Beauty on the weekend

Hello lovelies! Today I'm showing you my beauty routine for this weekend. I could've done it any day, but weekends are proving to be the perfect time. 

 Step 1: Get it clean!

There would have been a time when I'd complete neglect the importance of cleaning the skin. Now, at least once a week I try to apply a facial mask, followed by an exfoliation. LUSH is key here, since both products are theirs. I've been using their masks for a while now (third pot, haha) and they really do wonders and this Rudolph is absolutely fabulous. Cucumber, lavender oil, oat and tofu for a glowing, clean and fresh face. Ocean Salt follows to complete the cleansing. 
As for my body, I changed the scent of my THE BODY SHOP products to the Brazilian Nut and the scrub has a creamy texture that's harder to spread than the one I had before, but as far as clean and hydration goes, it's the best!
Step 2: Toner


They say Tea Tree has a lot of benefits for the skin. As for me, it's fresh and it cleans. I use it daily and love it! Again, LUSH.
Step 3: Moisturizer

Dynamic duo, LUSH and THE BODY SHOP are my faithful companions. Here are my face and body moisturizers. Imperialis is a very light cream ideal to keep the skin balanced.As for the Brazilian Nut, here in the form of body butter, great for the winter and all I can say is the smell makes you crave caramel!
This is the whole routine. On a daily basis, step 2 and 3 do just fine! Step 1 is an extra, done once a week.

How about your routines? What do you do and what products do you use?

I hope your week starts off just great!
XOXO,

M

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

Tuesday with a little Tease

Image
Enjoying my first day off from work, I went with a friend to a bakery called TEASE . It's a rock 'n' roll bakery (so they say) and in fact, the only reason I noticed it was because they were playing Guns N' Roses one night (it's open until 11pm, perfect for a snack at night). But here's the thing: although they call themselves a rock 'n' roll bakery , the inside suggests a whole different thing! The decoration is very vintagelike, the food looks delicate and yummi... Cupcakes, muffins, milkshakes and teas, toats, salads, all of this to the sound of Florence and the Machine, Friendly Fires and many others. Perfect for an afternoon with a friend or a date with your sweetheart! This time, pictures will be mainly of food but more will come, featuring the decoration and furniture! Yummi dreams, XOXO, M P.S: Any additional information about the place, click here !

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
