Anti-haul is the new haul

Well I was behaving so well and nothing...yesterday I bought 2 lipsticks. They aren't that expensive luckily. I can't undo what I did so...Let's talk about what I won't buy even if I like it, love it but I certainly don't need it!!!

1) Let's start from this palette that I really don't even like it that much. The Bon bon palette. 
It's nice and it's heart shaped but honestly...it's not even that different from the others Chocolate palettes. I didn't taste it (it seems the new trend tasting make up that smells like food). 
Easy peasy.
2) Uhhhhhh, the next one is tough. I know I don't need it...you know why??? I have only two cheeks and I won't live long and prosper like Adeline Bowman.
I'm talking about the Gwen Stefani palette. It's gorgeus, a friend of mine some days ago sent me a pick of this telling me his husband gifted her because she was sad but In'm gonna resist because I have too many blusches and I don't even pack on blush because I'm always afraid to look like a clown. So that's it. I'm gonna resist. It's so beautiful though...But nowdays I always use three blushes by mac and I don't know how often I would use it...


3) The other one is the Cheekathon by Benefit. It's beautiful and has Dandelion that I wanted for a long long time but I don't need it. It would be outrageous to buy it. 
4) Last but not least I won't buy even the Gwen Stefani eyeshadow palette. They're neutrals and I have tons of neutrals. 
I don't need it!!!

4) I'm not gonna buy the Kevin Aucoin contour powder....it's too expensive and I don't need it..


Thank you Kimberly Clark you're awesome...that' what we really needed: anti-haul videos!

Check her out!!!!

5 days of no coffee

Inspired by Lucie Fink I tried 5 entire days without coffee....And well it tourned out pretty well. I loved changing my breakfast routine and I didn't experience the headaches and the migraines...Now I stated drinking coffee again...you know I love coffee, it's a pleasure to drink it and it makes you feel a awake.
 
I made a lot of research about benefits and cons about coffe and I found everything and its opposite so I really can't tell if 's good to drink or if it's comparable to sigarettes. For sure it's something addicting and that should mean something. The thing that made me more curious was the dehidration problem. On the net I found that scientific studies proove yes and no at the same it  depens mostly who you ask to. It's kind of annoying btw, but I'm gonna dig into it because I'm already a lot dehydrated already as I am...so ti was kind of the point. Some studies even proove that it helps dealing with dehydration....Who knows!
Well after this long and boring nonsense go watch Refinery29 videos and Lucie Fink 5 days of...It's entertaining and intersting. Last but not least...It was a sleepy sleepy week and going to work skipping coffee break everyday was something! But it was worthy beacuse I was less more stressed out, less bloating and I sleot a little better. 
See you!

what's on my bookshelf...

This year I have read so many books...I'm so happy!!! It takes me a lot to go to work, and I use public transportations so it I used it to read and it was so accomplishing and it made me happier.
I won't report every book here in a list just because I think it's kind of boring but I will write down just my favourites...

The first category is "I wanna be sedated"
Let's get prepared because this list isn't for everybody...
"Lolita" Vladimir Nabokov is a good start.
"A million little pieces" James Frey. It's hard and it's not bright and shinybut I loved it.
"American Psycho" Bret Eston Ellis. I know I know...I had rogh year and I didn't want to feel alone in this bad bad world.
Last but not least "The violent bear it away" Flannery O'Connor
I read other stories about psychopath but these are the best in my opinion.

The second one is "Possibly Maybe"

"The road" Cormac McCarthy.
"Annihilation" Jeff VanderMeer
"The circle" Dave Eggers
" Lord of the flies"

I read a lot more but I think these ones are the best of the best for 2015. Now I'm reading the third book of the Game of thrones saga...so I'm gonna stick to that for a long time I think!
What's your list?








domenica 3 gennaio 2016

Since I go out at 7:30 a.m. and I arrive home at about 6 o' clock p.m. I'm a huge fan of a thing called reapplying...so I have a little makeup bag where I stuff my things for touchups and little necessary miracles.
This time is a little one just beacause I stuff my bag with millions and millions things and it's already damn heavy by itself so I'm just trying to be zen.
It's a clinique makeup bag that I found in a clinique set and you can see through, it's simple and comfy but I don't know how long it's going to survive...
Let's see what's inside:
                                                             POWDER
fit me! maybelline pressed powder. It's the only drug store powdr that does the job because I have really really dehydrated skin and every other powder are cakey and too much. My beloved one is
infact the Mac one but I keep it at home. It's the Minerlize Skinfinish natual, ultrafamous, blah blah blah..

                                                              BLUSH
Mocha. It's a Mac matte powder blush, it's nice it's not gingerly but now I'm so pale that I would look like a clown if wore in this period.

                                                              CONCEALER
3) Instant age rewind eraser dark circles. It's light and easy to use even on the bus or when noone's watching. Because on ly Panda are lovely with dark circles.
                                               
                                                               BRONZER
Elf Cool bronzer. It does the job, nothing special.

                                                               LIPSTICK
I'm not a lipstick gal but I stil have two lipsticks because it complete the look and I have very pale lips. I have two mac lipsticks: Mehr and Creme in your coffee. Gourgeus colours and they're perfect with every look.

                                                                BRUSHES, 
I have two mini 168 mac brushes. They're cute and useful. For the eyes I have an essence brush and and unkonow blending brush. I rarely use it but for the last minute friends meeting they're perfect.

                                                             CREAM 
I have a sample dior cream. I use when I have the time do my makeup all over again. It happens rarely but since it's a little sample it doesn't take much space and my skin is too dry to use makeup products without a cream layer.

Last but not least I have a blackpencil liner, a black elastic and a bobby pin for last last minute hairstyles.


What's in yours?
