Mom's Favorites 2020 | Beauty & Makeup |



Today is my mom's birthday so I thought it'd be the perfect time to share this post we had in mind for a couple of months now. We have many things in common, she's the one to blame for my big love for coffee but, we like different things when it comes to makeup. 
Here you'll find some of her favorite beauty and makeup products, some of them are different from what I usually share so, I hope you enjoy!

Let's get to it!

There are so many products that are my favorites and I'm going to share them with you today.
Let's start with...

♥ Beauty

Even tho I can go for a fucsia lipstick every now and then, red is my favorite when it comes to lipsticks.

I love lipsticks from Essence and Makeup Revolution, brands I discovered in Spain in my favorite perfumery, Druni.

Essence Matt Matt Matt #06 "Kiss me if you can"
Essence Ultra Last Instant colour #11 "Cherry Sweet"
This one from Sephora is one of my favorite red lipsticks. It is creamy and it is very long lasting. This shade is the "It" shade of red for me and it is very affordable.

Sephora #Lipstories "A little magic"
And these are from Miniso, they are Korean and they last throughout the whole day. They are creamy and very hydrating.

Miniso Korean Style Creamy Lipsticks
01 "Rosy Red" and 03 "Mermaid Pink"

Bourjois is a French brand I also discovered in Spain. Their pressed powder and foundation are amazing!

#53 "Golden Beige"

"123 perfect" with SPF10 and 24h hydration

I really like MAC blushes. One was a gift from my daughter and I bought the other one.

Left: Margin (which broke)
Right: Format
We also have this one from Physicians Fromula which is a lot softer and delicate.

Physicians Fromula Multi Colored Light Bronzer

Another brand I really like is Astor. It is a German brand by Heidi Klum, their lipsticks and blushes are super!

Nails

Essence Nail polishes are wonderful, and their colors are always in season.



Skincare

I don't buy facemasks but my daughter has given me some from Tonyoly and they are spectacular! I love it when she gives them to me.

Korean Sheet masks from TonyMoly and Celavi

Moving on to creams, I love these ones that my daughter brought from Canada. I hate to have dry hands. These creams not only help me to have soft, hydrated hands for a long time, but they also have a nice scent that lasts for a long time.


Lastly we have, lipbalm. This is the one I'm currently using, it was a gift from Michee.
Love it!


Perfume

I love perfumes! Especially herbal and citrus fragrances with a hint of florals. No sweet scents.
These two have a foral scent, different to the ones I usually go for but I love them.

Narciso Rodriguez "Narciso"
Gucci "Bloom"

There you go, we both hope you really enjoyed this post, let us know if you' like to read more posts like this.

Happy birthday to my mommy

❅ Winter Favorites | The Holiday Style Tag with mom |



Hello loves! Today I have another tag that is supposed to be a Christmas tag but I see it more like a Winter one. This one is the Holiday Style tag and I thought it'd be fun to do it with my mom. It also works as a favorites post because well... I skipped the December favs so, yeah.

(Mom's answers will be red and mine, pink. I actually recorded our conversation to write it down in here so we could have more chatty answers)

Let's start!

☆ Favorite winter nail polish.
Well, I like like red because it looks like Christmas and I love the different shades of red. Christmas red!
Aha, Chrismtas red!
Maybe red nails with one in silver. Using the one you have from Essence. (101 Crashed the party?!)
Same. Red and silver or red and gold. I love sparkly nails during this time of the year. But lately I've been loving the "Pots of tea" shade from Morgan Taylor. I think it looks like winter!


Left to right: Morgan Taylor "Potts of tea", Revlon 552 "Rubis folies", Essence 111 "Rainbow with sprinkles"
On top: Kim Taylor 32 "Carnival", Essence 101 "Chrashed the party!?"

☆ Favorite winter lip product.
I've never used lipbalm before, this year was my first time and I really liked the one you gave me. Especially after I got sick, my lips got very dry. I also like (red) lipsticks with a matte finish and mosturizer.



Left: Sephora #Lipstories "A little magic"
Right: Miniso Korean Style creamy lipstick 01 "Rosy red"
In my case I am a huge lipbalm fan because my lips are always super dry so, it is a most during winter. Other than that I don't think I have a specific lip product for winter. Other than wearing (slightly) darker colors.

TonyMoly Bbo Bbo lipbalm, HudaBeauty DemiMatte liquid lipstick and Elf matte lip color "wine"


☆ Most worn winter clothing piece.
My black coat from Spain and a winter vest I recently got from Canada. I wasn't really into vests but this one is becoming my favorite.
I'd say coats are my most used every year along with tights to keep my legs warm when I wear my short skirts.

☆ Most worn winter accessory.
Ah! Foulards, colorful knitted beanies that I started wearing recenlty and berets. I love them.




Mmm... high socks, foulards and knitted headbands~ Those are my new favs.




☆ Favorite winter scent/candle.
We love cinnamon, apple... Christmas scents! Especially cinnamon and vanilla. 
Agree! Cinnamon is a very Christmasy scent! And love anything cinnamon so, yeah.

☆ Favorite winter beverage.
Starbucks seasonal drinks! We always have them, my favorite is Toffee nut. I love Christmas punch and hot drinks too.
Everyone know how much I love my Starbucks seasonal drinks but I'm also obsessed with eggnog. Hehe



☆ All-time favorite Christmas/holiday movie.
I really like this movie about two women, who switch places. One living in London and the other in America...
Sounds like "The parent trap" haha
No... Holiday! With Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz. I love that movie. I can watch it over and over again. (we actually watched it on Christmas eve haha). And Bridget Jones's Diary...
Is it a Christmas movie?
No, but they show it on christmas and it has many Christmas scenes. I really like those two.
Mine is The Nightmare before Christmas *laughs*
Yes, of course.
I don't know if it's considered a Halloween movie or a Christmas one tho...




☆ Favorite scarf.
I have many but mostly the ones I got in Spain. I love them because they are very warm. I pretty much started wearing them over there because it was freezing. My favorites are a green & blue and a green one. I love colorful scarfs.



I don't think I have a favorite scarf but there is one I've been wearing a lot lately and I get so many compliments everytime I wear it. It's a knitted pink scarf that my cousin Rosie made and gave me a couple of years ago. The color is just beautiful!


☆ Favorite holiday food/treat.
I used to love when my mom made Basque style Codfish stew...
Yeah~ *nod nod*
My dad's friends used to go after Christmas to eat it. That and her Romeritos(seepweed) were really good.
I've never liked romeritos...
I know, but those were really good.
I'd say Codfish is my favorite, I miss it tho. 
My mom's food was my favorite
Mhm...

☆ What’s at the top of your Christmas wishlist?
To be happy, have peace with myself and have my loved ones around. That'd be at the top. The rest is important but not as much as having my loved ones with me. 
Is it weird to say I don't have a wishlist this year? I guess it'd be to still be able to make memories with the ones I love. And happiness.

And, that is it for our little style tag. Hope you guys enjoyed it and that you all had a very merry Christmas!

Meeting my baby niece, Natalia ♥



Hello everyone!
As some of you know, I became an auntie almost a month ago. And last weekend I finally had the chance to meet her.

My cousin Rosie is like a sister to me so I was really looking forward to meet this baby. I'm really proud and happy for her and Hubby Israel. She's such a sweet, loving mommy.

I've held babies before but holding Natalia for the first time was something really special. Can't believe how cute she is, she's so tiny and soft.
My visit was only 3 days long but I did try to get involved as much as I could. I got the chance to feed her, bathe her and hold her until she fell asleep. I definitely want to be a part of this baby's life and see her as often as I can even tho we don't live that close to each other.


Natalia, auntie Mon can't wait to see you again~

Mother - daughter questionnaire!



Hi everyone!
Most of you already know my mom Marili. Maybe from the Spain vlogs or just from my SNS. We thought it'd be a good idea to make some blogs together so we decided to go for a tag thingy since we were running out of time and had so much to do before her trip back to Spain.
I was going through so many tags online to see if we liked them but we ended up mixing two together and adding a few questions of our own.


Here we go!

1. What makes her happy?
MOM:She is happy when the family is reunited... Having lovely moments, shopping! Hahaha like me!
Me: It makes her happy to be with the ones she love, spending some nice time having a good cup of coffee and good conversations and...shopping!

2. What makes her sad?
MOM: When the family is separated...The divorce was a bad moment for all of us... When her grandma died, they loved each other so much, When someone she loves dissapoints her.
Me: Being away from the people she loves~ I know goodbyes are something that always make us sad and I also think when someone she loves or care about is sad makes her sad too.

3. What was she like as a child?
MOM: She was a beautiful baby!  Loved, spoiled...lovely to everyone. Super smart, and so is now <3 (what happened now?! LOL)
Me: From what I've seen and heard, she was a super cute baby with curly hair, spoiled enough to have her own room at 1 year old. Since she was the only girl with two brothers, she was adventurous!
baby Mom
baby Mon!
4. What is her favorite thing to do?
MOM: well, so many things... blogging and stuff like that, traveling. She likes to sing and dance. Shopping... all about fashion and cosmetics, collecting lipsticks and has a massive nail polish collection hahah...overdoses I think, hahaha 
Me: I'd say shopping, singing (she's pretty good at it) Everything related to music. I wonder if taking care of herself can be included here too? Having a good cup of coffee~ Oh! and reading fashion magazines.

5. What does she do when you're not around?
MOM: Dance, wear my clothes....she likes to go to the movies, read blogs, videos, sing, listen to korean music...she likes to make desserts and to eat them too. Ah!! And change the color of her hair... (That color thing only happened like twice!)
Me: I've noticed she likes to try my clothes when I'm gone! Something she used to do a lot when I was away on vacation was to cut her hair, get a perm...something hair related! it was always a surprise lol.

6. If she becomes famous what would it be for?
MOM: Singing and dancing... famous blogger, PR.. imitating voices!! 
Me: Definitely for her musical talents. Singing and playing the piano.

7. What is she really good at?
MOM: Making desserts, dancing, great at teaching english, lovely with her children. Being a lovely daughter...singing, taking pictures...great with fashion and makeup stuff... (I'm not such a good singer, just do it for fun!)
Me: She's a great teacher, singer, I think she's really good with the little details, she's also really good at lighting up a place, reunions, etc. Socializing! And, being my mommy!

8. What is she NOT good at?
MOM: she is not good with cleaning the house... haha she doesn't like at all. Ah!! and cooking, she likes to cook strange meals and experiments with food; sometimes so good, but sometimes,  when we ask: Who cooked today? And we find out Mon did...oh noooooooooooooooooo!!  hahaha
Me: Drawing! LOL. I remember she used to draw Disney's characters following tutorials on TV and well, they were...unique!

9. What is her favorite food?

10. What makes me proud of you?
MOM. Im proud of her cause she is a lovely human being, loyal with her friends, lovely with her grandparents...a great daughter!! She is a super well educated girl and polite with others. A heart full of love, a girl full of dreams. With a great determinated character and strong to fight with life and its problems!! Oh I  love her!! What can I say?? I could go on...writing and writing!!
Me: You know how you always feel proud of your parents just because they are your parents? I think somehow that changes with time, especially now that I'm older and can understand them better.
I'm proud of her because she is a strong woman. Someone who fights for her dreams and her happiness, without forgetting about the people she loves. She's caring and loving but she can also standto defend her loved ones when it's needed. I'm also proud of her (and thankful) for raising me they way she did, because that is what made me who I am today.

11. If she was a character who would she be?
MOM:She would be.... Sailor Moon <3 and sometimes.could be Rory Gilmore.

12. What do you and your Mom do together?
MOM:Uff!! A lot of things!!  Drink coffee.. discovering new fancy places. Shopping!!  Watching Tv series and dramas!! Having a fat day on weekends. (although we are not fat!! haha) Many yerars ago we used to play badminton... for hours!!
Me: I agree with all the above! We like to visit new coffee places. Shopping, drink coffee, watch shows together. Most recently we like to have relaxing times wearing facemasks (I'm sharing the obsession!)

15. How do you know I love you?
MOM: Cause...we are lovely and we really love each other, cause we care about the other sharing every moment in our life. I began to love her before she was born.
Me: I guess we just know we love each other by always showing support, experiences and just being there celebrating the goods and staying strong through the bads. In the end, I've realized that if someone won't leave you alone no matter what, that's your parents.

Me: Mmm...first could be when she takes some things too personal sometimes, and that she usually wants things to be her way (which I do too! lol)

MOM: She is so strong and determined, a lovely person. Her beautiful details,  that she celebrates everything!!  The great person and human being she is <3 (those are more than 2! ♥)

MOM: ufff!!  Millions of nail polishes... cosmetics, lipsticks... makeup samples... (where are the bunnies!)
Me: makeup, clothes (maybe) and napkins. Yeah, napkins from the places she visits~


And this is it for now! I think it'd be fun to do more entries together in the future...maybe? Idk,we wanted to make a video but yeah...no time. 
We answered a few questions together years ago, I'll link it here in case you want to read it.

Daddy's surgery.



Hello everyone!
*Sighs* These past few days have been SO stressful and exhausting! But I'm so glad it's all over!
Life has its ups and downs and I'm happy to say, we've survived an other hard time! My family is such a strong one! hehe.

Surgeries are no joke, and even a simple one means a risk. My dad had to go through a surgery last Monday for a pacemaker change and even tho it's something normal for someone who has a pacemaker, I couldn't help to worry. Especially after having the dates changed not once, but two times! Doctors need to stop playing with our emotions!

Having a loved one at the hospital is never fun, it's tiring and complicated. Luckily, my dad only stayed there for almost 2 days. I just don't understand why hospitals make it so hard on us family to see our patient and stuff. Anyways, I'll be forever thankful with them for taking such good care of my daddy. ♥

This was nothing compared to the time he had the first pacemaker surgery. That one WAS an emergency and he had to be rushed to the hospital. Back then I was still going to school and the hospital was out of town so...it was a lot more complicated for all of us.

Waking up super early and not getting enough sleep, going to work having to put a smile on your face, etc. Managing hospital/house chores/work was crazy! I had the longest days of my life! But my family is worth it! They will always be the most important thing for me, they always come first, no matter what.

I want to thank everyone who took the time to call or message us to know about my dad's condition, So much love! 
Also, thank you to my co-workers for being such supportive people and making things easier for me. Couldn't ask for a better work team/friends! 

Daddy is finally home, his surgery went well, no complications and he'll be recovering soon!


Looking happy! First morning at home after the surgery.

Mom went to Spain!




Hello sweet sweets! 
Last week was one of the busiest and most tiring weeks ever. But also a very emotional one, especially the weekend.

Last Sunday mom left to Spain and even though I'm so happy for her, it is a big change for everyone. We helped her with big packing, a goodbye meal with the family, lots of talking and crying ( enough to wake up to super swollen eyes!) the night before the actual trip and a super early start on a Sunday morning to make it on time to the airport.



I love going to the airport, there is a lot to see! We had some Krispy Kreme for breakfast and I even did some shopping.



I'm not good with "goodbyes" but I'm sure it'll be an amazing experience for mom. She already shared a few pics with us and she looks happy and I can tell she's having a good time.

I might share some with you guys sometime!
