Spain Clothing & Accessories Haul #1



Hi there!

I feel like I've been only posting makeup related stuff and, I was meaning to share clothing hauls too but... it's taking forever~
So I finally decided to sit down and show you some of the things I've got since I got here. It's pretty much what I got last november so, I'll probably make more hauls like this in the future.
Gifts and things I've bought are all together in here and I've used pretty much everything by now. I think~

Let's take a look!

Socks.
I think this were the first things I bought here. The pink ones are wool socks, super warm and really cute and I liked the black ones because... they have a cute bow at the back. Idk, I have a thing for cute socks~
I believe the store I got them from is called Ko Kris. (Not sure tho)


Mango. Pink Tote Bag
I knew I wanted to get a new bag, I usually get one bag and it pretty much lasts me the whole year. On Black Friday weekend this one had a really good price so I couldn't resist. (I did see it like 10€ cheaper not long ago... Oh well)
This bag has a pretty good size, you can carry a lot in there. It has a separate bag inside, which I find a little annoying and a pocket at the front. I added the pink fur ball to make it a little more me. Lol.
Fur ball is from Ko Kris too.



Then we have 3 sweaters with pearls. I liked that style without even noticing.
The first one was a gift, it is a gray-ish with a hint of pink(?) loose sweater. It is super comfortable.



Next one is super duper cute. I got this one at a local store called Somnis (dreams). It has a big bow with small pearls on it. Add to that the pastel pink = cuteness.



Last one is a grey sweater, again with pearls. It has a white detail on the sleeves and neck. As if you were wearing something underneath.
My mom gave me this one and it's from a store called Beautiful.



Jennyfer. Red Dress
Once I got it I kinda regret it but when I wore it on Christmas I was a little more happy with it. Even tho it is a pretty simple dress, it's my style and I don't have any other red dress so...yeah.


And, we have another dress!

I got this one in Requena. Even tho it's very simple, the detail it has at the back is very pretty. It is a little loose but actually looks really cute when you wear it.




Oh! I think this skirt is the only thing I haven't used! I wanted one for a while now and I got it for a really good price. It is longer than what I usually wear but I think it'd look nice with a pair of heels or even boots.



Ok, the next 3 pieces were gifts from my mom:




Shoes
I got the pink sneackers(?) because I didn't bring any with me. They are super comfortable and I like the bow detail they have.



The black Mary Jane pumps were a gift from my mom as well. I just love how girly and cute they are. Surprisingly, they are comfortable too.



And lastly, I got 2 pair of stainless steel earrings. Both really reminded me of Sailor Moon, not gonna lie...that's why I got them. Plus I really like the moon and both have it. I especially like the silver ones because they have everything I like in one: Bunnies, moon and hearts.



That'll be it for my first Spain clothing & accessories haul. I'm also thinking about making an updated "What's in my bag" so, let me know if you'd like that.

Big X!

NOTE: Sorry for the light change, I took the pics around 5pm and it gets dark really quick after that hour~ Didn't notice at that moment.

Spain Makeup & Beauty Haul #2: Druni, El Corte Inglés & Stradivarius



Hi dollies!
I know I posted a similar post not long ago but yeah, I keep buyng so, here's another one. I could make a clothing haul but no, makeup it is. I have an obsession, can't be helped~
Most of the stuff I have, I got from Druni, which is a perfume and makeup store. You can find different brands from drugstore to high end. Lots of skin and hair care products too. It has become one of my favorite stores.

So, I'll start with what I got there.

Essence
I've been really liking this brand not only for their products but, also for their prices.
As I mentioned in my previous haul, I fell for their glitter nail polishes, first I got the pink one and I plan to get all of the others they have. This time I got one in "Crashed the Party?!" (101) which is a nice silver one perfect for the holidays. The other one is "Party Princess" (07) a beautiful hot pink.

Left "Party Princess", Right "Crashed the Party?!" 

Then I got the "Be Kissed By The Moon" (03) eye and face palette. this one has super shimmery pastel colors but there are other palettes with different shades. Not sure if they also have mattes. This one can be used as an eyeshadow palette or highlighter but I'll probably just use it for the eyes. The colors are not super pigmented as I swatched them but I still have to see how the look on the eyes. The colors are really pretty and super smooth.




PIL'ATEN Shea Hand Cream. It is a moisturizing hand cream with shea butter, it has vitamins A and E. It doesn't really has a scent to it but the packaging is really cute and it really is moisturizing. It's been big help because the cold weather here has been making my hands super dry.


HOLIKA HOLIKA Pure Essence Mask Sheet. I only got 3 (for now): Strawberry, Cucumber and Acai Berry.


Garnier Skin Active Celansing Wipes. I've tried this before and I like them because they are gentle to my skin. I pretty much got them because they had a 2 x 1 for like 3€ and, they are always handy.


Moving on to El Corte Inglés. It is the biggest department store in Europe, you can find pretty much everything there, from clothes, electronics, house goodies, gorcery and yeah, beauty and makeup.
We made a quick stop at the makeup area, they have a lot of products you can also find in Sephora.

The only thing I got here was the Benefit Posie Tint Mini. I wanted to try one of their tints for a while now after seeing Meejmuse talking about it. It is a gel based lip tint that can be also used as a cheek stain. The durability is great and it also comes in two other shades, red and peachy one.




And finally...Stradivarius. I wasn't planning to buy anything there but I noticed they had lipsticks and nail polishes here. I haven't seen those back home (not that I've noticed anyway) so I got one just to try and see if I liked them. The lippie doesn't have a name (it drives me crazy!) but it's the STR 0881. It looks a lot darker than it actually is when you apply it. But I have to say I like it! The application is smooth, it is really creamy and the color is beautiful! And, the prices are really decent. Especially compared to the makeup they have in Bershka. there are not too many products to choose from but the colors they have were really nice.




I still feel I'm neglecting this blog a lot lately, for more Spain related stuff go check my YouTube channel. There's a Spain Adventures playlist and, I've been uploading pretty much everyday so, yeah.
My previous Haul here!

|Spain Adventures| Alcalá del Júcar



Alcalá del Júcar has to be one of the most beautiful places I've been so far. It definitely has a medieval vibe to it. It was also one of the coldest towns ever but it was worth it!

It is located in the province of Albacete, community of Castilla-La Mancha. Famous for its architecture, the Castle and of course, Don Quijote. I also discovered it is a witch town, which made me fell for it even more.
It climbs on a rock over a river meander, some houses are excavated in the earth and ascend to the Castle. Something you don't see everyday.





The castle, which apparently has an Arabic origin, is soooo beautiful and has the most amazing view when you reach the towers.





The color of that water tho!
But even tho the Castle is definitely a must see, the streets of the town are as beautiful. Fall is my favorite season and this place had the perfect Fall picture. Leafs everywhere, beautiful bridge, a river and even a fluvial beach.

It makes you feel as if you were walking in a movie. Can't imagine how beautiful it is when it snows.





As for food, we went to this restaurant called "El Mirador" because it is located at the top of a mountain so you have the most amazing view of the whole town while you eat.
We had a 4 course meal that included: appetizers (forgot to take a pic), pasta or soup, main course and dessert with coffee.
I was so full but it was delicious!!





And finally, I got two souvenirs thingies here. One is wrapped and I think I'll leave it like that until I get home but it is a little witch on a stone that says "lucky witch" and the other one was this cute keychain. I wanted it because it has a witch. When I was paying for it, the lady told me I should make a wish for each charm it has and as they jingle with use, my wishes will come true. I just loved that!
The charms are: 3 keys, one horseshoe and a witch.


There is so much history behind this town, and who knows what the towers of the castle would say if they could talk, all the things they saw and experienced~ It is a place I'd love to go back again.
