I've always struggled with filling my eyebrows because they're dark and thick, so I always thought it looked too harsh. However, now that I discovered the products I’m currently using, I feel super confident rocking these brows. This is a very easy eyebrow tutorial, if you’re having trouble with doing yours or you have the impression it looks too strong, a nice trick is to take pictures of it under different lighting and then you can have a clear idea of the situation.

This is that moment of the year where my bank account balance goes negative. Jokes aside, I got some really good deals and amazing pieces.
Let's start with the accessories. I saw this dainty necklace and the cashier said it was from the last sale, hence why it was for about 5 dollars. I love how intricate it is, and the fact that it completely improves any look. Now, I'm obsessed with my new iPhone case. Like I said on Instagram, it's cooler than I'll ever be. Also, it is heavy and rubbery, so I know if I drop my phone, the screen probably won't shatter.
Can you tell I love shoes? I had spotted these two beauties awhile back, and now, finally I had a "reason" to purchase them. I'm really into pointed shoes, they are very elegant. The gold high heel has a type of snakeskin print to it, and they are such a statement piece.
This cutout boot is made out of suede. It's really versatile, because it's black and plain. The zipper part is black as well, which will match either gold or silver jewellery. The cutout on the heel makes it edgier and interesting.
If I were a lipstick, this would be me. First of all, this is a matte finish, which is one of my favorite things when it comes to lip products. And this is such a deep vampy shade.
Sin is a burgundy with a blue undertone. Depending on the light, this lipstick might appear slightly purplish on the lips. It's very creamy, therefore it glides on when applied. However, it still looks opaque. It also stays on for a long time without having to reapply it.Like most lipsticks, the color is buildable.
Sin is really similar to MAC's "Talk That Talk", "Fixed On Drama" and "Diva".
Hey guys, so most of the lipsticks featured in this video are matte finish. Therefore, this basically should be called "my top 5 MAC matte lipsticks", with the exception of only one of them, being a satin.
I love everything about this nail varnish. Besides being extremely luxurious, the product itself is impressive. This is not relevant but I adore the fact that this is called 999, love me some subliminal message.
The packaging is gorgeous, it's an item that you can also use to decorate. This is a true red, which suits any occasion or outfit. Usually I have a hard time finding inexpensive nail polishes that last long on my nails and I know this is definitely not cheap, but totally worth the price. I applied only one thin coat, because of its thick consistency. It dries fast and it took 4 days to start chipping, keep in mind that I wash my hands a lot.

First things first, how adorable is this packaging? I'm completely in love. It comes with a chart that offers some tips and tricks on how to use all the products to their full potential.
The Porefessional - This is such a great primer. I love the mattifying effect it gives, and that it makes my makeup last longer without getting oily. Also, it's amazing if you have large pores, it helps minimizing their appearance. They're Real Mascara - I've already reviewed this product, but summarizing that, this is the best mascara I've ever tried. It gives volume and separates the lashes. Definitely worth trying!
Life On The A List Lip Gloss - This gloss smells so good. It's a very pigmented baby pink shade, that makes you want to eat it. It looks good on its own or when applied on top of a nude/pink lipstick.
Fist-class Face Powder - If you're in a hurry and want to "pretend" it took time to do your makeup, this is great, because it's a highlighter and blush combined. It gives a nice glow and a flush at the same time. I find this really flattering on my skin tone.
The Eyeshadow Palette - Overall they are highly pigmented and buttery. The color range is perfect for daily wear and to create a night look. Champagne Please can be used as a highlighter as well.
The Blush Brush- I tried using this to apply the blush it comes with, but I noticed that it wouldn't pick up a lot of product. So I decided to try to contour with this, and it works wonders. This reminds me of the Nars Ita Brush, so if you're looking for a dupe and you have one of these brushes laying around, make sure you try it. The size and the soft bristles are great to create the perfect contour.
The Eye Brush - I never use this type of brush to do my eye makeup. However, I find this very useful to highlight under my brows. Because of its shape I can properly apply my highlighter without messing my eyebrows.
I'm back and I have tons of pictures to share. So, for Christmas I went to my grandma's house particularly to see my dad, and it was a blast!
I love airplanes, it's so relaxing for me. But what I really love, is being able to capture so many beautiful moments right from the sky. I'm really obsessed with clouds, you can see that on my twitter and I couldn't pick one of the pictures to post, so I went with both. My father is passionate for photography so I made him my personal paparazzi and we took many photos that I will share eventually, like the first one, third and fourth. The landscape pictures were taken with my iPhone 5, therefore the quality is not that impressive, but good nonetheless.
I was highly surprised by my Christmas gifts, they were all chosen by my dad without me even mentioning anything. I already reviewed the Dior 999 lipstick, and soon enough will be doing the same with the others.
I'm just really glad for being home, and able to go back with full force into my blog and YouTube. I hope this year 2015 will be amazing to everyone, and also that all your dreams come true.
