Shopping: Fall must-haves

Summer is really my favourite season, with all the trips to the beach, the music festivals, the good weather, the shorts and sandals... But all good things come to an end and since september is here, fall is just around the corner. And with it, some shopping is required, to help fight the blues a little. Soon it will be time for hot tea and waiting for the bus while it's raining... Ah Fall, I haven't missed you a single bit.


Recently, I have been told that I should stop using pencil-like concealers and switch to liquid ones, due to extreme dry skin around and under my eyes. I looked around but I could use a little help: can anyone suggest me a good liquid/creamy concealer? The reviews of this one from M.A.C are pretty good, but I'd love to hear from you, dear readers! Since I didn't use a lot of makeup during the summer, this wasn't a priority. Now that I'm back to work, seems like a good time to invest in a good concealer. Leave comments, share experiences, let me know about you're favourite products.


Row by row, left to right:
H&M - ZARA - ZARA
M.A.C - OYSHO - M.A.C
BIMBA & LOLA - BIMBA & LOLA - OYSHO

All items currently in store and in my wishlist. The Heroine lipstick is something that will require some effort to acquire, since it is not sold in Portugal and I want to see it before I buy it. As for the rest, pieces that reflect some maturity but that are not too serious. Except for the lion socks, which are playfull through and through, ideal for those weekends at home, with a warm cup of tea. 


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

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
