Night time skin care routine

Oh hi darlings!

Today I'm going to talk about my night time routine. I finally found one that makes my skin moisturized, fresh and smooth. I have really dry skin and I couldn't find a cream that was hydrating enough. Right now I am really happy with the results!

I usually shower at night, I like to go warm and clean to bed and in the shower I start my routine:

I exfoliate my skin with a face scrub, right now I am using this one from a supermarket brand.

I really love it because it feels like is really cleaning my face. Smells fresh (pomegranate) and it's affordable.

Then I go to my room and apply a face cream to reduce some marks in my face, and I really think that is working:

It's a really light cream, it is quickly absorbed into the skin and so far, I really like it. I believe that is worth the hype! The price is around 14€.

Then I proceed for a deep moisturizing and hydrating cream:

I really love NIVEA products and this night cream is amazing! So moisturizing and hydrating and its thick consistence keeps my skin smooth and supple until the next morning. The smell is nothing intense. The price is around 11€.

Next up are my lips. Very sensitive and dry all the time. I am constantly putting lip balm:

When I get out of the shower I usually prefer a more light product on my lips and I go for the lip balm, but before bed, I apply this lip butter, it's more moisturizing and my lips feel better in the morning. Prices around 5/8€.

Before bed, if I feel that something is dry I use this:

NIVEA soft!  Really hydrating and not oily. Price around 5€.

Hope you have a nice day!

Birthday wishlist!

Oh hi darlings!

In Madrid, España

On the 6th of April a little girl was born: ME!!! I'm turning 19 years old and I am really happy with my life and all the things that I have been doing! I'm trying to eat better, study harder and save some money (that has been incredibly hard for me) but hey, I am alive and I have lots of reasons to smile!

I am not certain of what I am doing for my B-day, but I just wanna have fun and have a great and happy day!

I just wanted to send this to the universe: people deserve to be happy and to love, to be free and to do the things that make them happy. We should not judge, because people are different and they have that right (and that is what makes it fun!), and what is important for you may not be for someone else and vice versa, so free your mind. Life is short so live harder, love more and laugh louder!

"The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it's all that matters." Audrey Hepburn

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde

And here are some things that were in my wishlist for a long time and finally, (at least I think so), I'm going to put my hands on these!

Le pliage tote from Long Champ

White converse

Vintage Levi's shorts from change.pt

Essence XXXL shine lipgloss

Oh hi darlings!

The other day I was packing to go to my hometown and I was having a dinner that weekend, so I had to put my essentials in my make-up bag. I was unsure about the way I wanted to look and when I noticed, all essence lipglosses were in the make-up bag... I didn't realize how much I loved them, so I though they were worthy to make a post.

They are really affordable and the quality is really good! They are non-sticky, taste good, hydrate and give amazing shine with a pop of colour!

Here are the colours that I own and swatches:

in Rising Star

in Red Blossom

in Nude Kiss

I really love them and highly recommend them!
