OOTD: Spring Flowers!



Here's another Spring look for you guys.

I don't wear florals that often but Spring is the perfect time to wear fun and colorful flower patterns.



I love this high waisted skirt from H&M because it's super comfortable to wear, it's not super short but it doesn't feel too long either (makes sense?). Plus the colors are really bright but I still find it easy to match.

The ruffle-neck tank top is actually a bit old, it's from a brand called Thinner. The quality is really good since it still looks good after so many years. I really like the ruffle detail, it makes the tank top look a lot more girly.

The shoes... Awwh, I love these navy blue, velvety lace up shoes from Primark. I also have them in burgundy. What I like the most about them (aside from being comfortable) is that I can wear them in both, cold and hot weather, and make it work!


And I can't forget about my golden sunglasses from Stradivarius. I love them even tho they are super heavy!

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.

BIG Spain clothing & accessories haul!!



Hello everyone!
The second Spain haul is here. This time it is a big clothing and accessories haul. New clothes always make us happy. Lots of new outfits to try! #Yay!!

Let's take a look~

Sorry for the wrinkled clothes...they were just unpacked and I forgot to fix them before thaking the pics...

CLOTHES

♥ Denim loose dress from a market in Requena. I already wore this one and it is really cute and comfortable. You can actually find many ways to wear it depending on what you match it with. I wore it with flats but it can also go with cute tennis shoes for a more casual look or a nice pair of flats and accessories to make it look a bit more dressy.


♥ I am in love with this pink polka dots blouse. First of all, I like how it has the effect of having a flowy shirt underneath. Then, the cute bows in the arms add that extra detail. This one is from a boutique called Beautiful.


♥ This cute white blazer thingy is from Mas Fashion. It has a satin kind of fabric and I think the design in general is super pretty.


♥ Green sweater from (Sfera). Sadly, I haven't been able to wear this one because of the hot weather we're having~ Hopefully I'll be able to wear it soon.


♥ Flower print skirt from H&M. This one is perfect fro the Spring/Summer time. It kinda reminds me of my strawberry skirt from Zara.



♥ White flowy blouse from Stradivarius. It has this really cute ruffle detail thingy that makes it really cute.


♥ White blouse from a boutique called Jennyfer in Valencia. As the while blouse above, I really like the details in it.


♥ This black skirt is also from Jennyfer. I think this one is a formal skirt but in a really cute and girly version.


♥ Enjoy the Day white t-shirt. This one is from a brand called Tex. It can be found at Carrefour. Since it is a big size, it's super comfortable to wear at night or just to chill at home with a nice pair of shorts.


♥ I have pink jeans!! Well...pink-ish color I think? They are from Beautiful as well and they are very comfortable!


♥ I finally got some bralettes! the lilac one is from Bershka and the other one, I'm not sure but they are both really pretty.


♥ Black blouse from Mango. Mom thinks it'd be a good match to the black skirt. I love the cut on the neck/shoulders area.


♥ I've seen so many blouses like this trending right now and yeah, now I have one! This one is one is also from Beautiful. i think the pic doesn't do justice to it (?) is that how the saying goes?) It is really, really pretty when you wear it.


ACCESSORIES

♥ I am in love with my new cat eye shaped sunnies! They are from Stradivarius. They came with the cute pink case. Yup, I feel stylish wearing them.


♥ Black wedges from (Sfera) Even tho they are not super high, the give me a nice height. They are really pretty and hopefully they'll be as comfortable. (I only wore them once so,,,yeah.)



* This shoes from Bershka are just B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. I don't think they'll be as comfortable but, the pain will be worht it. LOL



And...this is it for this haul. It's always exciting to have all these new things to try. I haven't been able to wear all of them and I have everything in a big bag. I needed to have everything in one place to put this post together. Now I can finally put everything where it should be.
There are other goodies I recieved such as baking moldes but, I'll get to that when I bake something.

Collective Haul: Clothes, accessories and skin care!



Hi, hi there!
I'm back with an other collective haul. I haven't been buying a lot this year, (I meant it when I said I was serious about saving money this year! haha) that's why I'm super excited to finally put a new haul together.
I have a bitsy bit of everything in here~
Here we go!

♥L'Oreal Paris Hydra-Total 5 Cleansing Wipes: Lately I've been really liking L'Oreal as a drugstore brand so, when I ran of the Garnier cleansing wipes I had, I decided to buy them. I've been using and loving the toner from this same line so, why not! The package comes with 25 wipes, the smell is very subtle and fresh. They claim to:
* Remove Makeup
* Hydrate
* Provide Comfort
* Clean
* Soften skin
So far they are really good and gentle. Then again, I wish they were as soaked as the Missha ones~ (still not over them)


♥ Lassie'el Aloe Soothing Yogurt Massage Mask: I tried the Miracle Sleeping masks before and I loved them! This box comes with 4 packages of 12g of product. I think each package could last for 2 applications each. I haven't use them yet but, once i do I'll make a separate post about them with a mini review. #CantWait!


♥ Daroge Total Makeup Brush: I got the pink one (of course!) but I think they have like 5 different colors. I had the chance to buy this Chinese brush a while ago but in the end I forgot about it, a few weeks ago I randomly saw it along with other makeup goodies so, I went for it. It is super cute and super soft. The size makes it perfect to cary it around.





♥ Stradivarius Polka Dots Navy Dress: I bought this in size small. I was actually looking for a black blouse I need for work and ended up buying this! But yeah, even tho I am not a navy lover, there's something about this dress that made me fall for it.

sorry for the terrible pic!

♥ Heart Choker: I've been really into chokers lately! I liked this one because It has a heart...hehehe. What a surprise!


♥ Spiral Hair Ties: I bought my first one like, last year and even bought one for a friend but, I started using it and loving it this year. I've seen them in different places for different prices. The first one I bought was a lot more expensive than the bunch of 6 ties I got this time. My friend and coworker Ana saw them and was nice enough to get them for me. I love how fun and colorful they are!
