Piña Colada Kind Of Summer

The Body Shop, inspired by the cocktail, launched its new line of products - the Piñita Colada collection. Since coconut is a huge deal right now, the brand captured it in the most tropically way possible, Caribbean style and cocktail in hand style. This super exotic collection with a delicious tropical summer scent with pineapple and coconut extracts from the Caribbean comprises 4 different products: shower gel, body butter, body sorbet and body cream. I took the one-time opportunity of a good deal at the store and I managed to get my hands on 3 of this tropical treats for the price of 2.

Hairstyles | Festival Edition

Festival season is officially here and, besides having the perfect outfit, hairstyles are also a huge "thing" at festivals as you can easily see here! From the simplest braid to the most audacious hairdo, this year you have no excuse not to try a new thing with your best accessory - your hair! Today I really want to help you out choosing the best and most trendy hairstyle so here you have, 4 easy to do and beautiful hairstyle ideas for festivals - and to be honest, you can wear them pretty much during the whole year, but specially during Summer.

BOHO BRAIDS are one of my favourite hairstyles for festivals because they are super versatile and you have plenty of options to choose from. You can tie up your whole hair or just a section of it but you'll for sure have a great hairstyle! Another great choice when it comes to festival hairstyles has to be the classic BRAID CROWN because it can last the whole day without being retouched and it totally stand up while your dancing, singing, eating and walking around with your squad.

A super well known hairstyle at the moment is the DOUBLE BUN - yaaas, exactly that one that Kendall Jenner wore to Coachella this year. A little bit bolder and dashing style but definitely super cool and trendy that everyone will love! At last, the also super well known SAMURAI topknot is the perfect option if you are not talented with hairstyles because this one will only take you like 15 seconds and you're ready to go. The best part: you can easily retouch it.

Summer Body Ready

Hot days are officially here and so it's beach days! Everyone is dreaming of a tanned glowy body, long walks at the beach and night outs with friends. Today I'm bringing you some of my go-to tips when it comes to have the perfect summer body - by summer body I don't mean having a Victoria's Secret angel body, I mean having a well treated skin, protected and receptive to the sun, hydrated and super good looking because after all, that's exactly what I wish for during this time of the year! I'm sharing with you some super easy tricks and tips that you can easily follow during the hot season weather or even during the whole to have a great skin day after day, no matter the weather!

Top 5 || Drugstore Skincare Essentials

When it comes to skincare, there are a lot of different products that promises a lot of things, both from high-end brands or more affordable ones. I'm quite picky with this kind of products and I have to confess that I actually try a lot of them. Today I put together my top 5 drugstore skincare essentials in order to share with you some of my absolute favourite products that are super affordable and actually works out.

My Benefit Collection

Besides the beautiful packaging, Benefit is really well-known for their high quality cosmetics. Thankfully, here in Portugal, it is super easy to find their make up, both in Sephora and in the Benefit Boutique. I really love this brand and I'm blessed because all the things that I own from it. I decided to review everything that I own at the moment and share with you my thoughts about everything. Just keep reading to figure it out.

Spring Beauty News #1

Melted Lipsticks | Review & Giveaway

GIVEAWAY alert! Right in the bottom of this post... But first, let me tell you a little story... When I first saw the Too Faced Melted Liquefied Long Wear Lipsticks at Sephora, my heart just melted at first sight. I swatched ALL the available collection in my hand and woow, everything was so stunning: the colours, the smoothness, the smell, the applicator... This was just before Christmas so I decided "I'll buy one of them as a Christmas gift from me to myself!" and so I bought the Ruby one! I used it a lot and, right after Christmas, I decided to give myself another gift and bought the Sugar one.

Catrice Addicted

Gwen Stefani x Urban Decay

One of the most awaited collaborations in the cosmetics world is finally available for everyone to shop! And of course, I'm talking about the collection that the super well-known Gwen Stefani designed and developed for Urban Decay - yeah, that one brand really famous for the Naked Palettes!

Two months ago, UD launched the Gwen Stefani Eyeshadows Palette and it was a major success! Between the 15 shades that this paltette offers - some brand new colours and some just classics from the very well-known Urban Decay shades - you will be able to find a lot of neutral colours but also some more vibrant ones! This is what make this palette so much wearable, you could wear it to work, for a night out with the girls, on a date, to church... Just whenever and wherever you want to go, you can use this palette alone. This was the palette that started all this fever!

Hot Trend Alert | Haircuts

HOT TRENDS ALERT! And since 2016 is probably the perfect time for a little change - otherwise we'll keep postponing it until the neverland - why not start with a different haircut and give ourselves a little makeover? There are 4 haircuts that were super trendy in 2015 and will keep that way this year because they are just awesome and it seems that almost all celebrities are joining them...

Since the first time it appeared, BOB never left us and never went unfashionable although his many variations - with bangs, with beachy waves, straight... The most recent variation of this super trendy haircut is the LOB (longer bob), a more secure option for whom wants to change their look but is just too scared to go for the radical bob! Definitely a huge trend at the moment and we can see a lot of celebrities with this beautiful and smooth cut.

TAG | Make Up Tag

Finally I had the time to answer this amazing tag for which Miss Coquete named me! I really hope you'll like to know me a little bit more through out this tag

1. How do you feel more powerful - with nude make up or vibrant make up?

I don't think I need to use make up to feel powerful at all but, if I have to choose between these 2 different types of make ups, I think I feel more powerful with a more neutral make up! "No makeup make up" is my favourite look because it's super simple and at the same time everything is just flawless. Less is more, I would say,

2. Are you a make up addict?

I would go for a 50/50. I love make up and I have a quite big collection, I spend many hours (I must confess) watching beauty youtubers going through Sephora hauls and tutorials and all that kind of stuff but I don't use make up on me on a daily basis... I like to try on new stuff and play around with it but I don't feel like wearing it every single hour of the day, there's no need.

3. How often do you use make up?

Well, it totally depends on my daily mood but I don't use it to much for university for example. I prefer wearing it on weekends, special occasions, when I'm going out, etc.

4. Do you think some make ups are restricted to some ages?

I don't think so. As long as people know how to use make up, I think it can be pretty versatile

5. Recommend a drugstore brand and high end brand that totally worth the hype

My go-to drugstore brand has to be Catrice because all their products are just awesome! The price is super affordable and almost all of their products (or at least, almost every single ones that I tried out) have really good quality. At the moment, my pick when it comes to a high end brand is Urban Decay! Their products are just amazing! They have the best palettes with the best eye shadows, super "blendable" and stunning colours. To be honest, I really like all the Naked collection - I'm loving their Naked Skin foundation, it's pretty good!

6. What's your favourite lipstick at the moment?

I have to go for Melted, from Too Faced, in the colours Melted Ruby and Sugar - I can't just pick one out. They are a little bit pricey but still, they totally worth the hype.

7. Tell us what product you don't save on the purchase

I think it's really important to have a great foundation - that's the one thing I can't help myself from buying! I'm always looking for the perfect one, that stays flawless during the whole day! That's why I have so many and keep buying them (tell me in the comments if you would like to see some reviews from all the foundations that I have or maybe my top?!)

8. Tell us what you don't like to see in you but that you like to see in other people

I can't figure out a thing that I don't like to use... There are some colours that I don't like as eyeshadows like blues and greens and fuchsias but I don't hate it... But actually I'm more a nude/metallic/bold colours person.

9. What's the brand more abundant in your collection?

I have a lot of products from Catrice (of course), KIKO and Benefit.

10. Name some other bloggers do join the tag
