Autumn Makeup & Favs

Hello my lovelies ♡

It is nearly autumn and I can smell it in the air so I'm pretending my fav season has already started!

 I just can't wait to see the city covered in brown leaves and wearing hats and scarves while outside the stores are putting fairylights outside and everywhere is all pumpkin spice lattes and smiles! :)

As I am getting into the autumnal spirit I have started wearing a lot of autumnal colours both on the clothes and on the makeup, so - along with a makeup look video - I decided to show you what I am enjoying the most in these days and what I am loving to put on almost everyday! x

 

 

• As you may know, the foundation I am using a lot is the Too Faced Born This Way foundation. I love it a lot, it has a great coverage, it's very light and my skin looks fresh and healthy almost all day whenever I put this on! I didn't think I would have put my beloved NARS sheer glow in a side but there it is, Too Faced conquered me!
•  As I am pale as a ghost during fall, I am loving the Too Faced chocolate soleil bronzer cause it is light but buildable, it smells of chocolate (yuuum) and it is in a perfect shade to warm up the yellowy-looking face!
• For blusher I am really loving strong colours like this red. Yes, I said red and I never imagined myself wearing a colour like that but I tried it on and I felt in love! [Yes, you have to be careful unless you'll end up looking like Santa Claus :) haha]
• Nail polishes: I am really loving both browns and light pinks and berry shades like these two by kiko which are the number 243 and 363.
• The eyeshadow I am loving the most is this one by NABLA in Rust; it's an amazing and vibrant bronze shade that works really great with blue eyes as well. L O V E.
• Lipsticks: the shades I am wearing and loving the most are the beloved Rimmel Kate Moss in 107 and NABLA domina lipstick. The 107 is more on the red side and Domina is more on the berry/purple side. Both really amazing, both matte and longlasting.
• And last but not least, the mascara I am wearing all days is the They're Real by Benefit. I am back at it since months and reloved how builds up my lashes again, it's really amazing! Only down is that is SO hard to take it off at night (you will need oil based makeup removers)!

 

I'll leave you with the video on this makeup I am wearing the most, I hope you'll like it! 

Subscribe to my channel and leave a comment, I would appreciate it A LOT!

Hope you have a lovely and warm day!

See you on the next post!

What's the point? #NoMoreHate

As you can see from the title I am here to talk about an important topic cause not only I have been into it but cause a lot of people get free hate everyday and I just can't accept it. I use to say "be kind one to another" all the times but people just seem to love hate, be mean and wreck people's day, which sometimes can turn into wreck people's life. That's the strong power of words. I don't get that, I don't see the point in giving free hate. If you don't like someone then bugger off, if you don't have anything nice to say then don't speak at all. What's the point in being rude and mean? At least, what is the point in being like that hidden behind a nickname? We keep forgetting that we are all human, we all have feelings and to be nice one to another is a thing that could help a lot of lives. You will never know what someone is struggling for and most of the times you will never know, so just try to be gentle, be kind and be respectful. Life is beautiful only if we can live it the right way. Getting hate is never a great experience; and by getting hate I don't mean getting constructive comments (of course people can disagree with you in something or don't like something or help you getting other points of view) but just mean, pointless and awful comments like "I hate you", "bitch", "you don't have your own soul", "you're just copying her", "get a life", "kill yourself", "ugly", "be you" and so on. Comments based on nothing, posts based on mean thoughts that are not true at all directed to a person that they don't even know. Judging, lying and hate are the things that annoy me the most. You can't judge people for a phrase, a picture, a name, a skin colour, a culture.. You simply can't. There's a big whole world behind everyone and no one will probably see it all. Everyone has their own battle to fight, their insecurities, diseases, fears, points of view and you can't pretend to know someone just looking at the cover of the book of their lives. I don't want to be specific with all the hate I get sometimes and why, buta lot of you may know it and I tried to explain my point of view so many times that I am just sick of having to justify the fact of being myself. It's like that it happens that you look a bit like a well know person then you can be you only by liking different things or you can't do anything without getting "copycat" comments in literally everything. I mean, a lot of people, for example, wear hair in a bun but if it's up to me then no, I am just copying someone. Sometimes I feel like I can't buy something I genuinely like or post a picture of myself because mean people will start saying that I am pretending to be someone else and copying everything and that I have to get a life. This IS my life. This IS me, all the times. People don't realize that I couldn't be anyone but myself, that there's no point in copying as I am trying so hard to put me in everything but sometimes is so hard to let people see what's inside the book and not just the cover that can be mispelled by people. There are moments that everything is just too much and you just want to give up on everything but no, don't do it, be strong and keep pushing. I won't stop myself doing what I want to do or liking what I like or wear what I want to wear just because people don't know anything about me and will comment things being just mean. I try my best to ignore bad words cause I can't change the way some people think, but I just don't like it. Who would like that? If we can just spend a minute thinking about that before leaving a comment or judge people, it would probably help in not doing it. If you find a point in hate please tell me cause I can't find it! Hate less, love more. Is nice being nice, it's good making people smile but it's awful making people upset. Share more love and the world could be a different place. And to all of you that get hate, no matter if once or everyday, just be strong, react, smile, mentally block those mean people, do what makes you happy and just don't care about anything else but being happy with what you are. 

You are beautiful and precious the way you are, let no hate destroy you! 

I love you. 

With love,

M

Pain demands to be felt.

"When you loose someone you love, they move into a special place in your heart."

I have a blog but I don't want to call it a blog, it's more like a diary. I use to share things I like or do, materialistic things for the most but just cause it's the place where I just sit and share things to escape the reality, give myself a little time to write about things I like and that can help someone, that I enjoyed during a month and so on.. But my life is not only made of these things. There are a lot of things behind a person, a big world is hidden behind a smile or a positive post or a 10 minutes long video. You will never know what someone is struggling for as there are so many things that don't always need to be shared or said or done and things that you know you have to fight by yourself. But sometimes it happens that you just feel the need.. The need to write about something more personal, to let people know that life is not easy for anyone. To help people realize that, if this has happened to you, then you're not alone, you're not mad, it's just cause you have a heart and it is the most delicate part of us; there is so much pain in the world that, sometimes, I ask myself what is worth living. Everything can change in a minute, you could have everything or nothing, gain happiness or just loose everything; almost like you play in a casino. But some things are irreversible.. You can't go back, you can't have someone back and you're just alone. This is how I feel right now: alone. I have lost more than a half of my life, the most wonderful thing I had; I feel like my heart is about to die, don't know how much sorrow a heart can bear. I feel like suffocating, it's devastating. My dog was the only one that was with me 24/7, she was my best friend, I used to tell her everything, hug her when I was sad, joy with her when I was happy.. She was always there and by always I mean always. She never said "no" to me, she was always looking after me and I looked after her till the very end. A dog can give you everything, a lot more than you can ever imagine but then it left an immense hole in your life that no one and nothing can ever cover it up. I feel lost, walking around my house like a zombie and I can't find the strenght to go ahead and live. I know I have to be strong, I know I always try to be positive and help people fight the struggle of life being positive but sometimes the truth is that you have to accept that the pain is real, that needs to be felt and lived and there's no positivity that can help you in that. It's all about the time. Time will find a cure, it will never ever let you forget the people you loose but it will give you the strenght to remember them during the happy moments of your life together and rememeber it smiling. The only thing I need right now is to know that she is here somehow, with me, as usual. I didn't know how much pain this would have bring with it, I wish it was just a nightmare. I couldn't sleep tonight, my mind won't stop thinking and my eyes won't stop crying. I didn't even know how much tears could be in my eyes.. I feel like I have been crying for too long but it's never enough. And I know I shouldn't cry that much but the truth is that I need it. I need to feel the pain all at once, I need to cry and feel devastating cause it's just me being myself and you can't control yourself when things are way bigger than you. I wish there was a time machine, I could pay everything to just one day back with her; it breaks my heart to know that I will never see her again, I will come back home to nothing and she won't be by my side, I will not be able to stroke her again and feel her heartbeat. I will not fall asleep with her paw in my hand but I truly wish that she is with me even if I can't see her. We are so ignorant about life and death, we don't know why things happen, why there's no justice, why there is so much pain and negativity around the world; we don't know if there is something after death but I need to believe it right now. I can't imagine loosing her forever, I better imagine her with me forever. This must be like that. I can feel her with me, don't know if I am going crazy or not but I can feel her and I hope she will give me more signs. I have to be strong, I will one day but today it's just the worst day of my life. A lot of awful things happened to me but I always knew they were a 7 or 8 on a 1 to 10 scale of pain. I just reserved the 10 for this, hoping that this day would have never come. But life really sucks sometimes and now I have nothing; I have to build my life again trying to find the strenght to keep holding on. And I hope she is listening to me while I'm saying: now that you're just a little angel by my side, please, give me the strenght to go ahead. I feel lost and incredibly alone. I miss you, I will always miss you and I promise I will never forget you. Goodbye, it's not the end; I will always love you more than anyone else my little friend, my little heart. 

Thank you for the amazing world that you gave me and all the happiness that you brought in my life since I was 9. You choose me and I choose you for life. 

You will always be remembered. 

Rest in peace only love of my life. 

❤

Stromae - Recine Carre Tour

Hello everyone! ♡

I've been SO busy doing Christmas related stuff and packing cause I'm gonna leave in few days but I just wanted to show you one of the craziest night of this year!

Peace or Violence 

Te quiero 

Tous les mêmes

Quand c'est ? 

Moules frites

The show was REALLY one of the best I've ever been to! 

The digital scenography was truly amazing and everything was so unespected that you couldn't get bored of anything! 

He's just amazing as person, as an artist, really great singer and amazing dancer.. 

I was just mesmerized and I didn't wanted to ever end!

He was so nice and sweet with us and can't wait to see him live again. I couldn't ever imagine all the things we seen that night; it was magical and we had a lot of fun!

If you don't know him very well, please, go search some live performances and, trust me, he won't let you down!

Here are some pics I made with my phone cause I couldn't bring with me my camera; of course videos are way better but I also wanted to post some pics.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

♡

Yesterday I went to a shopping centre just few minutes cause I had to buy some baubles for my Christmas tree and I felt very very festive watching all the Christmas decorations of the stores so, as soon as I came home, I decorated my Christmas tree. My fav time of the year is really coming and I couldn't be more happy about it!! I just can't wait to see all the Christmas lights and decorations in the streets and can't really wait for my finals to end so I will have my mind off all thi anxiety and only think about Christmas!

How are you spending these days? Is your Christmas tree already settled and lighted up? Have the streets of your cities already been decorated? Let me know in the comments and post some pictures, maybe, so I can see. 

Have a nice evening. Also thanks everyone for reading my blog and being so sweet in the comments.

My Winter Essentials: General Stuff

Hello everyone! ♡

I hope you're doing great! It's just a rainy day here so what a perfect occasion to write another blog post! Yay!

*music on, problems off*

Here I am with the second part of this "Winter Essentials" mini series, about the other general stuff I always have with me during winter! 

So let's get started with the "being at home" side: 

First thing first (oh, Iggy, your song is haunting my head right now) what I really really reeeally can't wait to have with me since it starts to get cold are scented candles. What a news! Haha 

As you may or may not know, I am a huge fan of candles every day of the year but especially in winter cause (I don't know if it's just me) I think that they "do the magic"; as soon as I light up a candle, everything seems to be more soft and calm and relaxing and "home". The brands I like the most are Yankee Candle, Jo Malone (even if they're so expensive it hurts), Primark ones are really really good but I also love IKEA ones, not that great for the packaging but still so nice. When it comes to candles, I almost love everything; I just need to smell them! If they're nice, they'll end up in my shopping basket in a second. 

Other thing that I love to wear when I'm home in a day off or just for bedtime are onesies!! I mean, who doesn't love them? (maybe some of our boyfriends as this is not the sexiest thing you could wear). They are cosy and soft and funny and just as comfy as wearing a second skin all over you. With the difference that the skin your covered into is in a rabbit shape or cat or sheep or whatever :) The one I'm loving at the moment is this one that I bought few weeks ago in Primark; it's a sheep and it's so cozy and warm and soft that I could totally live in this thing for like.. forever. 

Then I must mention one of the things I love more: lights!! As soon as it starts to get colder and near Christmas (which, to me, is like in november haha) I always like to surround myself with little lights. I use lights for inside my bedroom and I just put them all around my bed so, as it gets dark, I just love to turn the little lights on and read a book or watching a movie. Everything suddenly gets more christmassy and beautiful. I could leave them for the rest of the months, not only at Christmas. 

And then, when it comes to rainy days and staying at home, I just love having hot drinks like Hot Chocolate with mini marshmellows on top and, of course, tea. I don't have a favourite hot chocolate brand (what are yours?) cause on top of everything I will always put Costa Hot Chocolate! Winner! For tea, instead, I could spend days and days mentioning teas and brands (I am slightly obsessed with tea as you may have noticed hehe) but I gotta mention Clippers, Yogi Tea and Whittingtons tea. They have so many different kind of teas or infuses and I really love almost every flavour but in winter time I just enjoy having a lot of Chai! 

And now, let's go outside!!

I will now be obvious, but I have to mention cozy jumpers!! I usually spend warm months waiting for the "sweather weather" time of the year again cause I loove sweaters! I really like the slightly oversized ones in plain colours and the rule here is "softer is better"! 

Then as I am the worst person at resist the winter without getting ill and also I am one of those annoying people that is always cold, I need to take out with me a good coat, a scarf and a beanie/bobble hat! I always liked those people that can go out in December with only a jumper on.. I.. I just NEED extra warm. By the way I personally think that a nice coat, a scarf or a hat are really great items for making an outfit even more "on point"! Imagine going out with just a shirt and then going out with a nice shirt, nice coat on and a patterned scarf on.. They totally make the difference!

I will also need a hand cream and a lipbutter with me as cold is not a skin friend. And, just a trick, I always have with me one of those weird gelly things where you just drop a little metallic thing that is inside of it and the gel starts warming up.. I don't even know how to call them (if you know the name, please tell me in the comments so I can use it instead of this crappy description in the future) but my dad once bought me and since then I always loved them cause you'll never know how cold would be outside and you have to be prepared, right? 

And then, at the end, I put the thing that goes with every season and every weather, both home and outside: music. I just need music everyday as I need to breathe. I usually put my headphones on (like now), turn on some music and suddenly everything's better and everything seems to be fine. Music helps, it really does. 

This was everything I guess. I really hope you liked it; if you did, leave a lovely comment down below (I always enjoy reading them) and I will see you on the next post! 

Have a great night! Let the stars shine on your dreams!

My Winter Essentials: Skin

Hello lovelies! ♥

As the winter months have definitely crept up on us, I thought it would be nice to show you my winter essentials; things I always need and enjoy during the cold months!

I'll be doing few posts with different subjects, so let's start with SKIN!

I definitely have dry skin (except for some parts of my face); and of course, cold makes my skin a lot more sensitive and dry. 

So.. starting from the face, all I need it a good moisturizer; the one I've been loving recently it's the Bionike Defence Hydra5 that I bought at my local pharmacy after they gave me a little sampler. It's really amazing and works very well on my skin! It's really "light" and it doesn't make you feel oily after putting it on and this is great cause I really hate those creams that make your skin oily or that are too thick. 

Moving on the eyes, shame on me, I don't use eyecream :( this is just cause I can't find a good one, so please write me in the comments what you use so I can give it a go. I feel I really need one these days as I don't sleep well and my eyes are always so dry cause of studying and windy days. Ugh. 

It's now hands turn! I ALWAYS have cold hands, no matter what. haha so I usually carry around my hand cream in my bag and the one I'm loving at the moment is the Neutrogena handcream. It is reallt amazing! You can really feel the difference after applying it cause it leaves your hands so so soft and the smell is so nice that I really enjoying applying it over and over. 

For the body side, how can I not mention The Body Shop? hehe

In fact the product I love the most from this brand and the thing I always enjoy using (and, to be honest, smelling too!) is Body Butter! They're so rich and great, you can really feel they are working on your skin and, omg, they smell like heaven! The one I'm in love with right now is the Papaya one, which I also put in my September Favourites post [here]

And now my favourite part: lips!

As we all know, cold makes our lips a lot dry so we all need a great lipbutter! And my favourite at the moment is the Labello one in Vanilla&Macadamia. It's great and, again, it smells amazing! I really love Labello's lipbutters and my fav used to be the original one with the blue packaging cause I think it's the most moisturizing one but now that it came up with these new ones in the lil pot, I must say that are my new favourites from the brand! 

And second product that is in my fav list since many years now, it's the Lush lip scrub! I really love them so much; I love Lush and their store concept and even if I think the price is still a bit high for what, in the end, it is (sugar, oil, colouring and flavouring mainly) I think it worths the money. It leaves your lips very soft and, as it's made of sugar, you can apply it and then lick it off! And, again, it smells amazing (and taste amazing as well hehe)! My favourite is the Bubblegum one but I can't wait to try the Christmas one which is called Santa's Lip Scrub! 

So here are my Skin related Winter Essentials! What are yours? Have you ever tried one of these things? Do you have other brand's favourites? Let me know in the comments so I can check them out!

See you on the nex post!

1. Have you ever been in love?

I'm not even sure what is love.. I think I have been in love once, but I'm not sure it was the real love.

2. Why did you start blogging?

I always wanted to have a blog, to share feelings and stuff with someone. I just really enjoy writing and as I always do it on a diary I tought it would be nice do it on the internet as well, sharing bits of my life with readers, but also with me; I think a blog is a sort of a diary and I love that.

3. Do you have any siblings?

Yes, I have a little sister. But I wish I had an older brother too.

4. What do you value most in life?

There are a lot of things I value in life, but above all I put respect: I think the most important thing is showing respect and being kind one to another cause you'll never 100% know what the other one is going through and also never know someone's sensibility. Also respect of the planet in which we live. 

5. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? 20 years?

Woah, this is hard. I can't imagine myself and tell what I'll be like but I wish I'll be happy. I hope I will have a nice job I love, feel satisfied and proud of me and of course in 20 years I wish I will be married and have a baby. 

6. Do you like meeting new people?

Yes, I do. Especially if they are funny, nice, with same passions and can understand me.

7. What is your favorite month?

I think December.

8. Would you rather be invisible or read people minds?

Uhm I think invisibility would be much funnier! But I'd love to read people minds sometimes.. even if it could hurt so much, it would be a good think when you don't know if someone is lying at you or not.

9. Favorite childhood memory?

I have a lot. But now I can only think about when I used to spend all my afternoons at my grandma's and she teached me how to make cookies and homemade pasta. 

10. Have you accomplished your 'bucket list for 2014'?

Unfortunately not everything. I didn't like 2014 that much to be honest, but of course nice things happened and one of these is this blog :)

11. What do you usually do after a bad day?

I just like to have a hot bath, light some candles, wrap myself in cozy clothes, drink a hot tea and just chill with some music on or read a book or watch a movie.
