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 :*

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 :*

WELCOME BACK

Hello everybody 🙂 Sorry for not being here for so long but I went to Poland for three weeks and I just wanted to make the most of my stay. I was preparing myself for what will happen in my life after I leave Poland. I had a very busy stay in Poland, there were a lot of things happening, I was out of my house almost all the time plus I was very stressed. I will explain later on 🙂

When I was in Poland my fiance had 2 bowling competitions, one in Grudziądz and one in Łódź.  I was very stressed during those two events, but thankfully he was Second in Łódź :D. Then he had his prom. I was very happy because I finally got a chance to dance Polonez, which is one of the Polish national dances, and one of the most important once. We also went to see The Nutcracker 😀 . It was one of my biggest dreams to go and see it. It was so beautiful :O. Even Michal liked it :D.

On the 27th of January I arrived to Madrid, Spain. To be honest it was the worst trip I ever had :O. The turbulences were very strong and I also have the fear of height so it was the worst thing ever for me… never again! When I got off the plane I did not knew where I have to go. The airport in Madrid is very confusing. Thank God I found a Spanish man that spoke in Polish and he helped me. Then I got a bus to terminal 4 , and from there I took a bus to Burgos. The city is so beautiful, but It’s very hard to communicate with anyone when your Spanish is very low. It’s very hard for me to understand people because they speak very fast. I’m starting to get used to the language and the accent very slowly but I know it will take time for me to fully adapt.

I already got lost in the city center 😛 I got a wrong bus from the street where I live and I was trying to ask people what should I do now but I could not understand what exactly they were saying. So I just walked from the city center to Calle Murcia where I work with a Spanish family. The children that I’m teaching are lovely and I’m so happy that I have the opportunity to work with them. They showed me where the university is and where  the bus stops are, they also brought me home.

Yesterday I went for another little trip. I went to buy myself things like cup and plates. I love the weather here because It’s sunny everyday and its very warm here, so I go for walks. Usually I go to shops to see what is there. When I went to do shopping for the first time I didn’t know what to buy because everything was weird for me. Today I went to the university for the first time. I got there without any problems ( Google maps helped me :P) but I got lost when I was coming back home. I asked someone where should I go and I don’t know how but I understood what he was saying 😀 Thank God he helped me because otherwise I would be probably walking around the university with my phone in my hand and trying to look for the way back.

I think this is the longest post I have done :O. I hope you liked my little diary and life update. I might be doing it more often now, it actually helps me to feel better. To be honest I feel lonely here and I don’t feel comfortable when I don’t understand what people are saying to me.

I hope you liked my today’s post. If you want more follow me on my Instagram. I’m more active there and I hope you will stay longer with me 🙂 I will upload some pictures now 😀 From Poland and the onces I took here in Spain. See you soon :*

BLOGMAS 4- CHRISTMAS TAG

Hello everyone 🙂 Today I decided to do a little Christmas tag on my blog. I found the questions on the Internet and I liked them so I thought that it would be nice if I did something like that on my blog. I hope you will like it 😀

1.Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve?

Yes, in Poland and in many other European countries people open their presents on the Christmas Eve. In my family we usually eat our food first and then everyone takes their presents from under the tree.

2.What holiday traditions are you looking forward to most this year?

We have a lot of traditions in Poland. I live in Ireland but we still spend Christmas in the Polish way. I think that my favorite Polish Christmas tradition is shearing the ,,oplatek” and saying wishes to each other. I think that it’s a beautiful tradition because you get a chance to wish someone something good. Usually typical wishes look like ,, I wish you a lot of health, money and everything that you wish for” 😛

3.Is your Christmas tree real or fake?

My Christmas tree is real 🙂 And it looks like this.

4.What is your favorite Christmas film?

I don’t really have a favorite Christmas film. I love ,,Frozen”. I don’t know if you can consider this film as a Christmas film, but I have seen it like 20 times and I love it 😀 I also love Polish Christmas film called ,,Letters To Santa” or ,, Listy do M”. If you can find this film with translation you should watch it 🙂 It’s funny and sad at the same time.

5.Where do you usually spend your holiday?

I usually spend Christmas at home with my family. Last year I went to Poland for Christmas ,and I have to say that, it was the best Christmas I ever had. I finally got a chance to spend Christmas with people that I couldn’t spend it with, for the last eight years

6.What is your favorite Christmas song?

I don’t really have a favorite Christmas song, but I love Tchaikovsky and his work 😀  I listen to his work a lot now, I’m so excited to see the ,,Nutcracker” 😀

7.What is your all-time favorite holiday food/sweet treat?

I looooooooove pierogi :O I think everyone loves them in Poland 😀 I also love cheese cake. My mum makes the best one 😀

8.Be honest: do you like giving gifts or receiving gifts better?

Like an every person or at least most of the people I like receiving gifts, but I also like buying presents for other people.

9.What is your favorite thing about Christmas?

Hmmm… I think that my favorite thing about Christmas is that the whole family or at least most of the family members are in one place and can finally relax and spend time together.

10.When do you start getting excited for Christmas?

Usually at the start of December when I start thinking about the presents for everyone.

11.What is the best Christmas gift you’ve ever received?

When I was a little girl I think I was 6 or 7, I got a Barbie doll that I really, really, really wanted. I was jumping and screaming I think that I even cried when I saw the doll. I even remember which doll was it, it was Odetta from ,,Barbie Of  Swan Lake”. 

12.What is the worst present you’ve ever received?

I don’t think that I ever got a bad present. I’m always happy with everything that I get.

13.As a kid, did a sibling ever receive a present that you wished was for you?

No, my sister is six years younger than me, so there wasn’t any chance that we were wishing for the same present.

14.What would be your dream place to visit for the holiday season?

I would love to spend Christmas in Austria or in a city called Zakopane in Poland. I just can imagine what I would do in the snow around me 🙂 ha ha

15.Most memorable Holiday moment?

When all my family gathered up in my grandmother’s house. This sits in my head because when I was a child we used to spend Christmas in her house and she makes the best mushroom soup 😀

16.Do you make New Years resolutions? Do you stick to them?

Yes, I usually make a few but I never stick to them. I might try again 😛

17.What makes the holidays special for you?

When I can have my family in one place, just like last year.

18.What’s the best part about Christmas for you?

Like I said before spending time with the loved ones.

19.You have been granted one Christmas wish…what will it be?

I don’t really know but I just want everyone in family to happy and healthy.

MY FAVORITE HAIR PRODUCTS

Hello everyone 🙂 Today I will talk about my favorite hair products and a little bit about my hair care. I wash my hair twice a week, sometimes 3 times a week it depends on the weather, and my location 😀 I hope this post will help you if you were thinking if you should buy one of these products. Most of my favorite products are Polish, but we all know that Polish shops are almost everywhere ,and I’m sure you will be able to find them. You can also buy something during your stay in Poland 😉 So now relax, sit back and enjoy 🙂

This is a great shampoo for people with blonde hair, especially if you dyed your hair blonde. Blonde hair tend to go yellow after a certain amount of time. This makes your hair look nice and it makes your colour look much lighter. I usually use it twice a month and it works well for me. Lemon juice works very similar to this shampoo but it takes more time for it to work. This shampoo is great but you have to be careful with it because it can make your hair very dry. You should be able to find it in most shops like Boots.

This shampoo :O This is a Russian shampoo that I got in Poland. I tried few of the Russian shampoos and they are very good and very cheap, I think I payed 2 euro for this bottle. This shampoo is natural and it makes your hair different than normal shampoo with a lot of silicons.  It smells very nice, and it leaves that smell on your hair. I wouldn’t recommend for people with blonde hair because I have a feeling that it makes my hair darker. I use it 2-3 times a month.

Another shampoo that you will be able to find in many places. It moisturizes your hair very well, and again it smells very nice. It doesn’t leave the smell on your hair as much as the other shampoo, but it’s like that because the other shampoo is more natural. I really like how soft my hair is after using this shampoo. I really like to use it after I oil my hair because it cleans the oil very well. I use it 2-3 times a month.

This the only solid conditioner that I use now. I like the smell of it. It leave my ends very smooth even though my hair needs a haircut. I wouldn’t say that it repair your hair but it gives the feeling of strong and healthy hair. I use it every time I  wash my hair so twice a week. I also tried different conditioners from this brand and most of them worked for me very well.

This is my favorite hair mist ever! It’s great and cheap. I got it while I was on my holidays in Poland. I’m sure you will be able to find it in Polish shops. It works very well for my hair especially now when it’s a little bit damaged. It smells very nice and it makes brushing your hair very easy. It also makes my hair very shiny. I spray my hair with it when it’s wet. I use it every time I wash my hair so twice a weak.

This shampoo is from the same brand as the hair mist above. These two used together are a miracle for my hair. It smells very similar to the hair mist. It cleans my hair very well and it makes my hair smell very nice for a long time. I usually use it 1-2 times a month.

Another conditioner 🙂 It works great, I usually use it with the hair mist and both of them together work very well for my hair. With this products you have to be careful because if you put too much of it into your hair, your hair will go oily very fast especially if you put it on your roots. This product is cheap too and very easy to buy. It also makes my hair feel healthy and strong. I use it almost every time I wash my hair so 1-2 a week.

That’s all for today 🙂 Hope you like my hair products post 😉 Don’t forget to check out my other posts and follow me on Instagram 🙂 See you soon :*
