MY FAVORITE LIQUID LIPSTICKS

Hello 🙂 Welcome back 🙂 Sorry for not being here for so long but I had a lot of issues with my subjects. I hope this was the last issue  and that I will not have anymore issues because I already had a lot. After a month of doing a subject called International Relations I got an email saying that this subject is not English friendly anymore ( as in I can’t do my exam in English). I got very stressed but everything is ok now and I hope I will finally be able to enjoy my Erasmus at least a little bit 🙂

Today I decided to talk a little bit about my favorite liquid lipsticks. I tried so many liquid lipsticks but it was so hard for me to find the perfects ones. Most of the liquid lipsticks that I tried did not stay long on my lips or made me feel very uncomfortable. The ones I `will talk about today are my favorite and I can’t stop using them :O

Trophy wife

The first lipstick I want to talk about is this lipstick from Huda Beauty. I very like this lipstick because it looks very nice on the lips, the pigmentation is very high and it stays in one place for a very long time. I got it as a Christmas present and it came with lip pencil and glitter lipgloss. You can see me wearing this lipstick on many of my pictures on my Instagram. I’m thinking about getting more colours 😀

I already talked about this lipstick but I seriously love it so much. I’m also thinking about getting more colours. I love how it feels on the lips and how creamy and light it is when you apply it. Some of the liquid lipsticks are very sticky when you apply them, this one feels very creamy and almost powdery. It’s very hard to explain but I think that you should definitely try it.

These ones are my favorite of all liquid lipsticks I have. I probably talked about them already but why not say it again 😛 This is a Polish brand called Golden Rose it slowly starting to be available in many other countries. These are around 25 zl which is around 5-6 euro. These lipsticks are very light and they stay on for a very long time. Sometimes I forget that I have a lipstick on my lips and few times I fell asleep with it. I seriously did not find a better lipstick. I have only 2 colours with me, because I left most of my make up in Poland. I will definitely get more when I go to Poland.

   Here you have all the colour swatches. The first two colours are lipsticks from Golden Rose, then Huda Beauty and the last one is from Bourjois.

Hope you like my today’s post. Don’t forget to follow me here to see all the future posts, and also check out my Instagram where I post more often 😉 See you soon :*

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT SPAIN ?

Hello 🙂 Today I decided to come back to my Spanish topic. I want to talk about things that I like about Spain or the area where I live. If Spain is your future destination some of these things may be useful. I have been here for almost one month and I think that I can already say what I like about this country. Sit back and relax 😉

1. The first thing that I seriously love about the place where I live is the price of the bus. You can get a bus card that costs around 2 euro and you put money on it. Every time you enter the bus you have to tap it and it takes 40 cents from your card. It’s very cheap compering to Ireland because I have to pay around 10 euro everyday when I’m going to college.
2. Another thing that I really like is that most of the drivers are very nice and when someone is crossing the street the car will stop. I’m not very used to it. In Poland and in Ireland it’s a very rare situation. Especially in Poland.
3. A lot of the things here are much cheaper than in Ireland. For example shops like Bershka or Zara are much cheaper here than in Ireland. That surprised me because I thought that the prices are the same in all the country.  Food is also very cheap, you can buy lunch for less than 5 euro. I’m not sure how is it in pubs but I think that alcohol is not expensive here.
4. People are very helpful here. I noticed that even if you don’t understand them they will try to do everything they can so you will understand. I noticed that from the first day that arrived here.
5. I really like how open to others Spanish people are. They like hugging and kissing a lot. They like to be close with the other person they are talking to. Sometimes it might be a little bit annoying when the person your are talking to is very close but it’s normal here. Everyone does it on the streets.

I hope that you like my today’s post 🙂 If you liked it feel free to stay longer with me and don’t forget to checkout my Instagram :* See you soon 😉

MONTHLY FAVORITES

Hello 🙂 Today I want to talk about something a little bit different. I haven’t talked about my favorite products for ages :O I decided to leave the topic I was writing about until now and do something different. Some of the products are from Poland 😛 As usual 😀 But I’m sure you will be able to find it in a Polish shop or you can buy them when you will go to Poland for holidays 😀 I hope you will enjoy this post so sit back and relax :*

The first product I want to talk about is this nail powder from Essence. I saw it for the first time here in Spain it was very cheap, the powder costs something around 2 euros and the sealing top coat a little bit over 3 euros. This makes a beautiful effect on your nail. Normally people get this effect using shellac and powder similar to this one. This option is much cheaper and you can do it at home. There is a lot of beautiful colours to pick. How to use it ? It’s very easy! Just paint your nails with any colour you want and wait for the nail polish to dry, then apply some of the nail powder on to your nails and rub it in. When you get the result you wanted apply the sealing top coat 😀

I got this exfoliating gel here in Spain too. I’m only using this every second day in the morning. It smells beautiful and it does its job. Normally I have very sensitive skin on my face and a lot of the face washes make my skin very red. This makes my skin very soft, it feels very clean and it doesn’t make my skin red at all. It was very cheap. I got it in a shop near the place where I live called Alimerka. It will be definitely my favorite face wash here in Spain.

Russian shampoo? Yes! I know I already talked about Russian shampoo, but I don’t know if I will ever stop. As you all may know by now I’m a person who takes care of my hair a lot. I love cheap and good hair products. These shampoos are amazing :O They are very cheap and it’s very easy to find them in Poland, and probably in Russia too 😀 I love how they smell and how well they clean my hair. I only wish they were bigger, because even though I wash my hair only twice a week I finish them very fast. In Ireland we have a lot of Russian shops, if you go in and ask about it I’m sure they will help you 😉

These two lipsticks from Bourjois :O I got these lipsticks for my fiance’s prom. I could not decide which will be better so I got two 😛 They may be a little bit expensive for some people but I think that they are worth their price. The one on the right is a liquid lipstick. It’s very soft and you can’t even feel it on your lips. It stays for a very long time and I think that this is the perfect nude shade. The one on the left is just a normal lipstick. It has beautiful colour and when you apply it, it’s very soft but it stays in one place. Both of these lipsticks smell beautiful, they are very easy to apply and the colours are absolutely gorgeous.

Another very good product from Bourjois. I really like this foundation because it’s very light and it looks very natural on the skin. It also smells very nice and if you do your make up properly it stays on for a very long time. I don’t use it everyday now because I usually don’t have time for doing make up in the morning, but I got it for my fiance’s prom and I was very happy with it. The only bad thing about it, is that it’s a little bit expensive.

I think everyone knows this face mask very well and I don’t need to explain what it is. I just wanted to say that this is just wow :O It does its job. It cleans the skin very well and it’s not as painful as most of the people are saying, but in my case  I tried similar face masks before, and even the DIY version 😀 My skin is probably used to the pain. This thing is great. If you are thinking about getting it, I think you should. 😀

My favorite mascara ever. I have three mascaras but I’m only using this one. It makes my eyelashes very thick and long. It doesn’t take long for it to dry, and even if you cry when you have it on your face will not be all black. It’s the cheapest mascara I have, because the other ones are more expensive but not as good. I really like the applicator. I will definitely get another one.

The last product I want to talk about is this hair mask/ hair oil. It is a hair product that is supposed to make your hair grow faster. If you follow me on me Instagram you probably know that after the prom I cut my hair very short. I like having short hair but for me it was definitely too short. I decided to stop taking biotin and look for some good hair product. This product was on a sale so I bought it. I’m using this product once a week for over a month now. My hair is a little bit longer now. I was stressed about coming here and at the start of my Erasmus journey I had problems with hair loss. Now my problem is gone. I fell in love with this product. It has so many good ingredients in it and it smells very nice. I got it in Poland in a shop called Hebe. 

That’s all for today 😀 I hope you liked it. Follow me here if you want to stay longer with me, also don’t forget to follow me on my Instagram where I’m more active 🙂 See you soon :*

ONE WEEK IN BURGOS, SPAIN

Welcome back on my blog 🙂 It’s been a week since I came to Spain and I want to talk about my first impression of this country and the city that I live in. Firstly I just wanted to say that I had a little surprise waiting for me outside of my apartment which was… snow. Haha yes! Snow! I could not believe in what I saw because I wasn’t prepared for snow in Spain, and I also left all my winter clothes in Poland because I thought that it will be too warm for these. I hope that it will get warmer because I’m a person that hates winter and loves summer.

I have been living here for one week, but there are things that started to annoy me. I really don’t understand the point of having a three hours break during the day, to be honest I would prefer to finish work three hours earlier instead of having the break. I guess for them it’s normal but for people that come here it can be annoying. When they are having the break all shops are closed but, all shops are opened until late.

I really like the way all buses cost the same amount of money here. It doesn’t matter where you are going you will still pay 1.20 or with the bus card 0.40c . This is very cheap compering to the amount of money I have to pay in Ireland. The only annoying thing about the buses is that you have to stand on the street or otherwise the bus will not stop on the bus stop, and also when you want to get off the bus you have to stand up and press the STOP button because like with the other situation bus will not stop to let you out.

I tried some of the Spanish food. I like some of the things. I will make a post about my favorite Spanish food later on when I try more. So far I tried Churros ( Spanish donut), Chorizo ( Spanish sausage), jamón (ham), Tortilla Espanola, and one type of cheese but I don’t know what it was. I think Spanish food is nice but I’m not a big fan of meat.

When it comes to Spanish people, I think they are very nice and very helpful. I got lost and these two Spanish ladies did everything they could to help me, sadly I couldn’t understand them fully so I just went my own way 😀 #googlemaps 😛 I’m a person that likes to have my own personal space, I also like to sit in quiet places. Usually I like to spend time sitting in a room on my own with a good book. Here people are veeery loud. They love parties. My house mates go to sleep very late and they put loud music until very late. Sometimes it annoys me, but at the same time I tell myself that I’m in their country and if it’s like that here I just have to adapt. I’m not a person that likes to party every week, maybe like every other month or not even. So far I noticed that they are people who like a lot of noise.

When it comes to the university I can’t say much. I have been there three times and my classes are starting tomorrow on the 5th of February. I’m a little bit worried because this university is so big comparing to my little IT Tallaght in Ireland. I’m also worried about the language. One tip for you guys if you are good at language st school or university don’t think that you will understand everything when you go to the country where that language is spoken. I’m studying Spanish since I was 13 years old and I’m 20 now. So yeah seven years of learning the language and I never failed any Spanish test. I will be forced to translate everything and to study more than I usually did. Wish me luck guys. This semester is very important for me so I hope I will really improve my level of Spanish. I can already feel the difference, I can understand more and I started to memorize new words.

That’s all for today guys 🙂 Hope you like my today’s little post. If you want more follow me on my Instagram 😀 I’m more active there. Please free to also follow me here 😀 See you very soon 😀 Bye bye :*

 

DIY- HAIR MASKS

Hello 🙂 sorry for a veeery late post but I was really tired and busy, and all I wanted to do was sleeping. I decided to talk a little bit about DIY hair masks because I personally prefer to make my hair mask at home so I know what is in it. I noticed that my hair is very damaged after summer and I know few magical mixtures that will make my hair healthier.

Hair mask 1-  Any oil on it’s own will work as a hair mask, I would recommend coconut oil, olive oil, sesame oil or avocado oil. You can also mixed all these oils together, and leave it for as long as you want. I usually sleep with the oils in my hair, it makes your hair very soft after you wash it.

Hair mask 2- Mix egg yolk with any oil you want, I usually mix olive oil and coconut oil. Add lemon juice and mix it all together. This hair mask can make your hair very sticky so you have to be careful while applying it on your hair. If your hair is thick I would recommend using more than one egg yolk because one will not be be enough. You can leave for as long as you want. I always leave it for the whole night.

Hair mask 3- Warm up sesame oil and castor oil. Do it carefully because oils get very hot and you can burn yourself. Add one vitamin E capsule and a little bit of honey. This hair mask will make your hair grow faster if you will do it more often. Leave it in your hair for as long as you want.

Hair mask 4- This is the most extreme hair mask that I do sometimes. You need around half a cup of any beer. Pour it to a cup or bowl leave it for the whole day. Add a egg yolk, any oils you want ( I usually add castor oil, sesame oil and coconut oil). Add lemon juice and honey. It will make your hair very soft and shiny. I usually leave it in my hair for the whole night.

Hair mask 5- This is not really a hair mask but this is for people that want to have lighter hair. It works best during summer when there is a lot of sun, but it will work now if you will do it regularly. Mix lemon juice with some honey and some water. You can sleep in this. If you sit with this mixture on your hair outside when there is a lot of sun your hair will go lighter very fast. Lemon makes your hair feels fresher and makes your hair smells nice.

That’s all for today 🙂 Hope you will try some of the hair masks. If you liked it please like it and don’t forget to follow me on my Instagram 🙂 See you soon :*
