M.A.C x Toledo

Living in Portugal, most of M.A.C's collaborations are only available online or, with a little help from destiny, if I happen to travel and go somewhere they're sold (like Paris and the Rocky Horror Picture Show line). Somehow, I was lucky enough to see the Toledo line on display in Lisbon and I managed to bring home two items!!


The first thing I liked was the packaging. The design is beautiful and reminds me a little of Picasso's works. Then I saw the products and their shades.


I remeber seeing the products online and the blushes were the first thing to awe me. Ombre? Really? This is going to be so cool, now I just have to get a new brush and start wearing it!!
Being a girl with a very light skin tone, I have always liked makeup with colour. As far as lipsticks go, I'm all for bold colours. A little mascara, a little blush, get your lipstick and you're ready to go! This orange-red matte is gorgeous, just in time for spring and I'm just waiting for a special occasion to wear it!

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 ...

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...

Hair Inspiration

Image
It's been a little over a year since I changed my hair colour (and cut): from brunette with a long hair to copper with shoulder lenght hair. I then tried bright red, but for some reason, the colour didn't stick and I decided to try colouring my hair at home, using OLIA . The colour is amazing and it's lasting a lot more than my last trip to the hair saloon! But the time has come to visit a professional and have my hair properly dyed ( and cut). I enjoyed seeing myself with bright hair colour and that's what I'm going for. I'm just not sure about the cut, but i feel I should risk a "just-above-the-shoulders" cut. My volumous/fizzy/rebelious hair has a will of its own, making it hard to style, but thank god I bought a hair straightner! :) Should I risk a shorter haircut or keep it medium and growing? As for the colour, it's just like the pictures below: bright, vibrant red! Have a wonderful monday! XOXO, M
