Just like I did at the end of 2015, I separated five of my personal favorite blog posts of 2016 and the five most popular posts as well. First, here are my top five that I think are interesting and definitely worth taking a look. I discovered some incredible products last year and I would love to start the year well, so make sure to let me know some of your favorites!

How To Take Better Flat Lay Photos - As you can see, I take a lot of flat lays for my blog and throughout the years I gathered some tips that I think would be helpful for anyone that is struggling with this kind of photography.

Colourpop Zingara Super Shock Shadow Collection Review - These eyeshadows were such a happy surprise. I hadn't tried Colourpop before and the moment I swatched these I knew it was love at first sight, or should I say, at first swatch?!

Affordable/Drugstore Beauty Christmas Gift Guide Under $10 - Even though Christmas is over, this has to be my absolute favorite post. Mainly because it is a few of my most loved makeup under $10.

My Favorite Bronze Eyeshadows + Pigments Under $10 - Let's be real, we all love cheap products that are good quality. Having that in mind I picked out four bronze eyeshadows/pigments that I use constantly. These are beautiful!

Colourpop Flexitarian Pearlized Highlighter Review - If you're pale and find that most highlighters are too dark, this one is exactly what you need. This is the most stunning white champagne with the softest texture. I have to say that this is my favorite highlighter.

Now moving on to your favorites...

Sigma Beauty Warm Neutrals Palette Review - This is, by far, my most used palette of 2016. It has a lot of wearable shades and the formula is amazing. I love this for natural looks and even those bold looks for when I'm feeling daring.

What's In My Bag - If you're curious to see what I usually keep in my bag, here is your chance to take a peek inside my everyday purse.

Sigma Beauty Cor-De-Rosa Aura Powder + Gilded & Midsummer Loose Shimmers Review - I always use and mention these products. The blush is perfect and the loose shimmers are so versatile. I will definitely repurchase these in the future.

NARS Cruella & Rikugien Pencils Review - These are gorgeous options to keep in your bag. They are small, so they won't take a lot of space and they're great for a day-to-night look.

MAC Lady Be Good Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick Review - This is such a pretty nude lip color. I couldn't stop wearing it last year and I bet I'll continue to wear it this year as well.

When I first started my blog I had no idea what a flat lay was, although I was familiar with this kind of picture. This became the "trendy" way to take photos for blogs and of course, Instagram. I compiled a few tips and tricks that will help you take your flat lays to the next level.

LIGHTING
Usually for blog photos I use natural lighting. However, if you can't rely on a natural lighting source, you might want to consider investing on artificial lighting. Good lighting is key to an aesthetically pleasing image.

CHOOSE A COLOR SCHEME
You could opt for using many colors. But I like to choose from two to five. Complementary colors are always a good option. Don't just throw a bunch of random colorful products together, make sure you have a vision of what you want to create.

LAYERS + TEXTURE
This adds a lot of dimension to the picture and it looks incredible when done well. You can add magazines, colorful papers and flowers in one photo with the products you're trying to showcase.

DEFINE THE MAIN ITEM
What do you want people to see first when they look at your picture? Put it in the center, or make it the most colorful item out of the bunch. There are many ways you could position the object to capture people's attention.

EDITING
I strongly believe that you can fix almost every photo with editing. You can always sharpen, correct lighting issues, the saturation and even make it more vibrant. Nowadays, I use Photoshop CS6 to edit all of my pictures. This software has allowed me to do a lot of things that I couldn't before. As some of you already know, because of a blog post I made a few months ago, I used to use free programs, like Paint.NET and PicMonkey. Those are pretty awesome if you are starting out, but if you want to improve your work I highly recommend Photoshop.

Overall, everyone has their own style when it comes to photography. I like to have a colorful background, but you can find a lot of white and marble frequently being used by other people. Make sure to find your own "identity" and not simply copy someone just because you like their style. Creativity is everything and it will definitely make you stand out from the crowd.

What are some of your tips for the perfect flat lay? 

One of the biggest misconceptions about blogging is that it requires a huge investment and basically you can only do it if you're wealthy. Even though it's very expensive to drastically improve your blog's quality. If you're just starting out, you don't have to buy a ton of makeup or the most expensive camera and artificial lighting. If after a while, it turns out you really love blogging, you can gradually upgrade your equipments. Keep in mind, "bigger" bloggers do get products sent for free, so a lot of the things you see been reviewed are not necessarily purchased with their own money.

When I first started, I used my phone to take the pictures and if you look back you can tell they weren't the best. But the problem wasn't the fact that I was using my phone, I just had no knowledge about lighting. Understanding how to use natural lighting will definitely help improve your photos. I have a post fully dedicated to blog photography, where I talk about cameras, lighting and even backgrounds.

REVIEW WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE
You don't need to buy every single new product release. You can start by reviewing the products that are already a part of your collection. It doesn't matter how long it's been since they have been launched. With the exception of limited edition items, because there is no purpose to talking about a product that your readers can't buy.

TALK ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE PRODUCTS
I love finding out more about other people's favorite makeup. This is a great way to find some amazing products and just like me, I know a lot of people like these kinds of posts as well. They are very helpful and I'm sure that you have at least one holy grail product to share.

GET THOSE DISCOUNTS
If you're going to purchase something, the smartest thing to do is to use discount codes and/or wait for sales. By doing this, you will be saving some cash.

POST IDEAS
Besides the following affordable ideas, I have two more lists with 25 last minute blog post ideas and 25 beauty blog post ideas.

• Favorite products from the drugstore
• Affordable dupes to high end makeup
• Best products under $10
• Favorite nude/pink/red lipsticks
• Monthly favorites
• Skincare routine
• Go-to makeup look
• What's in your makeup bag
• Products you would repurchase
• Your favorite brushes

I really hope some of you found these tips useful. If you're a blogger, what are some of your top tips for blogging on a budget? If you're not a blogger, what are your favorite types of blog posts?

You could have the most helpful, incredible content, but if you don't have a good quality photo, people will most likely not click on your post. Unfortunately, we do judge a book by its cover, so give your best when working on your main photograph. I always try to keep it colorful and eye-watching.

Also, make sure that your photo has a decent resolution and it's quite crisp. You don't have to have a DSLR or the most expensive camera. Your phone can take amazing shots if you have good lighting. If it's still not bright enough you can fix the brightness, contrast, saturation and more with editing apps. I have a post dedicated to editing blog photos which you can find here.

2. ENGAGING TITLE
This could either get your post to be one of the first few when people are searching for that topic or it could put your post at the end of the list. You need to think of possible keywords people are looking for, and add them to your title. I like to search variations of titles I have in mind and the one with the most number of results is the chosen one. Because that means a lot of people are using those exact words when searching.

Another option is to come up with a funny title or something that will spark people's curiosity. Puns can be your best friend! Just do not clickbait, this might get you page views but will make people not trust your blog and what you have to say.

3. SEO
If you started your blog recently, you probably run to the hills when you hear about SEO. I know I certainly did. However, it is not as scary as it seems. There are a lot of websites out there that will explain it in a simple way.

You can start by renaming all of your photos. They're usually "IMG_123", so change them to "your-blog-post-title". The more information you add to your file name, the higher the chance of Google making your image show up in the top searches.

4. RELEVANT/TRENDING TOPIC
I know some people don't like the idea of jumping on internet trends. But let's be honest, that will drive a lot of traffic to your blog. You don't necessarily have to talk about a trend, it could be something that is always relevant. For instance, I noticed with my blog, that my most viewed posts are about MAC lipsticks. So I often do reviews on MAC lipsticks. It's all about finding out what people are looking for.

5. BE HELPFUL
Adding value to people's lives is a great way to get them to click on your post. We all have questions and we all have answers, so why not trade information?! Let's say you're an expert on SEO, them you can do several posts about the subject. If you've grown your blog fast or your YouTube channel, explain how you did that. If you know how to use Photoshop, do a step by step on it. There are a lot of possibilities, all you need to do is take a moment to realize what you're good at.

This year went by so fast and I can only thank everyone that supported me. I'm so thankful for the amount of love and kindness, you guys have shown me... I am not one to care about statistics, but I gathered my top five most popular posts from 2015 and decided to add my personal five favorites as well. First of all, let's talk about the ones I think are worth checking out just in case you missed them.

Make Up For Ever HD Powder - This is a holy grail of mine. It really transforms your skin and it keeps your concealer from creasing. It has an incredibly soft texture and a flawless finish.

Blog Photography // Camera, Background & Lighting - When it comes to blogging, I know how difficult it is to figure it out all by yourself. So I created this long, but informative post where I shared everything you need to know about taking your pictures and getting them to stand out.

Sleek Makeup Antique Blush - This became my go-to blush the moment I bought it. It has the perfect amount of pigmentation and the color is so flattering on my pale complexion.

5 Lipsticks For Fall & Winter - I always find an excuse to talk about vampy lipsticks. These are a few of my favorite shades.

Maybelline Color Tattoo: Bad To The Bronze & Pomegranate Punk - If you love finding affordable dupes to high end products, you need to check out these eyeshadow bases. They are similar to the MAC Paint Pots, but way cheaper.

Now, moving on to your favorites.

MAC Antique Velvet Lipstick - This got so many views, I can't even believe. Let's be real, we all love MAC lipsticks (Right?!). This lip color is definitely one of my favorites and clearly, a lot of people feel the same way.

Nivea Men Sensitive After Shave Balm // The Best Primer - I believe the moment NikkieTutorials talked about using this as a primer, everyone went crazy for it. Of course, I had to try it out and share with you my honest opinion.

Sleek Makeup Havana Lipstick Palette - This post got so many views the moment Sleek Makeup shared it on their Twitter. I was definitely surprised by that, and of course extremely thankful. I love these lipsticks to pieces.

Sleek Makeup Birthday Suit Matte Me Lip Cream - Seeing how difficult it was to get this product, I knew people would definitely be interested in a review. This is such a beautiful lip color.

MAC Stone Lipstick - This lipstick is my absolute favorite for 2015. You could totally say that I'm in love with it.

Let me know in the comments below what you want to see here next year!  Have a great New Year's Eve and I'll see you in 2016!

If you go back to my older posts, you will notice how different my pictures looked like. I'm not saying I'm happy with every single photo I post, but nowadays, most of them make me feel quite proud of how much I learned and improved. Having a good camera, definitely helps, but I strongly believe the key is editing. A lot of people use Photoshop, however, I prefer to work on a budget (I don't like to spend money!). So all programs I use are free and very user-friendly.

PROGRAMS
Let's start with the basic, finding something that works for you. I have a few that I love, one of them is the free version of Photoshop. It is an online editor, which means you don't have to download and install a program. It has really incredible features.

PicMonkey is also very popular, and one of the easiest to use. I have to admit, this is my go-to at the moment. I mostly play with exposure, and in there, I change the highlights and contrast.

Finally, there is a program called paint.NET and you have to install it. It provides a lot of easy tools to improve drastically your pictures. I find useful to have a program that doesn't require WiFi signal. If you travel a lot or your Internet connection isn't the best, this is a great option.

BRIGHTNESS
This will sort of add a white cast to your picture. It will highlight everything, not only the white areas. I often avoid using this tool, because I like my pictures to look colorful, and this, for a lack of a better term, will suck the life out of your photo.

HIGHLIGHTS
I consider this my best friend. It brings out the white areas, and allows you to make it extra bright if you want. If overused, it will also look terrible. So keep in mind, moderation is the way to go.

CONTRAST
This is responsible for making my photos pop. It intensifies the colors. But I don't like to use this in excess, because it can make my photos look too bold.

SATURATION
If your white background looks blue or red, you can adjust it to look neutral by lowering or upping the saturation. I used to do this all the time, when I had a different camera. Now I only use this, when in my portraits I look like a ghost.

I'm a big fan of incredibly white backgrounds. If you prefer something more "realistic", just opt for subtle changes instead.

What program do you use to edit your pictures?

It's been a little over a year since I started blogging and looking back makes me appreciate how much I learned and improved.

A fact about me, I actually had a blog with some friends when I was thirteen. However, all of them gave up on it, consequently I did the same. Every so often, I wish I had kept going and not quit.

1. BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST AND COLOR CORRECTING + LIGHTING
If you learn how to edit your pictures, it can dramatically change it for the better. I believe the basics are brightness, contrast and occasionally, color correcting. I always enhance the brightness so my pictures have an incredibly white background. For the contrast I raise it a tiny bit, so the colors look more vibrant. I used to color correct the photos I took with a Nikon D3200, now when I started using a Canon 700D I didn't have to do that anymore. I prefer my pictures to have a neutral tone, neither too warm, nor too cold.

My biggest advice for a beautiful picture is lighting. I love the look of natural lighting, but when I have to take a photo on a cloudy day, I like using an umbrella lighting with a fluorescent bulb.

2. QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
Right when I started this blog, I decided to post once day for a whole month. During the first week I had a lot to post about, but as the days went by I felt obligated to publish something and I had nothing to talk about. Don't even get me started on the low quality photos. I know that we all start somewhere and a lot of people wouldn't think it was too bad, but in my perfectionist brain that was awful.

In summary, don't post something just because you feel "pressured". Of course it's important to keep a plan, but don't force yourself into following an unrealistic schedule. I would much rather read a blog that posts once a week but actually has an incredible content, than reading one that posts every day and the quality is not as great. Remember, it's not necessarily about the camera and lens you use, but how much effort you put into it.

3. DON'T BE SCARED OF WRITING
This sounds weird, doesn't it?! In the beginning I used to write a review within five lines and I was done. I didn't elaborate or went in depth on the subject. At this moment in time, I realize that even I wouldn't waste my time reading that kind of review. The key to a good review or any type of blog post is to actually be informative and explain your point of view.

4. FINDING THE PERFECT TEMPLATE
When you're starting, it's fine to use one of the standard templates. You can totally customize those and to do that all you need to do is research HTML. I swear, it's not as scary as it seems. However, if you don't want to spend hours attempting to figure it out or buy a professional looking template, you can always find a free template. There are so many to choose from, simply type on Google "free template for Blogger" or "free template for WordPress".

5. EVERYTHING TAKES TIME
This could either be about gaining readers and followers, or about improving your skills. In the beginning you will have around five views per post. It takes months to get your first comment and then, an audience. The more you grow, the fastest you grow.

When it comes to developing skills, you need to be patient and practice as much as you can. The secret of getting ahead is getting started. So don't overthink things, just press publish!

If you fancy another reading I have a post dedicated to blog photography.

I never upload a raw photo to my Instagram because it tends to lack brightness, contrast or even both. To fix those details I have some apps I always use and they're all free. I've talked about my two absolute favorites on my 5 Apps I Can't Live Without, which I shared my favorite music, social media and picture editing apps. Therefore, I won't be mentioning them on this post.

1. Moldiv - I love using this to create collages of products. It has so many templates to choose from and it really allows you to customize your photo.
2. Skitch - If you're creative and you enjoy personalizing your pictures, you will love this one. It's perfect to design some overlays, you can write and draw on top of any photograph.
3. InstaSize - This is ideal when you have rectangular photos and you don't want to cut off a part of it. You have a lot of options when it comes to borders and my go-to is called "Blur". In case you don't know what I'm talking about, you probably have seen on Instagram pictures that instead of having a white border, it has a blurry version of that same picture.
4. Snapseed - This app quickly became one of my favorites. I has some really unique features, such as "Selective". Which allows you to choose a specific point to highlight. I've been using this to make my eyes pop. You can also crop, tune and spot correct.
5. Phonto - This has many filters, but I mainly use it to add a watermark to my pictures. Finding a good free watermark app can be very difficult, but with this one you can modify the font, color and size.

Right now, I only use these two to create my blog content and also, my videos. However, I'll not go into detail about my YouTube channel, because I'll address this subject in a future video. When it comes to photography, I have to admit that I'm not a professional and everything that I learned was through the Internet and, trial and error. Almost every single photo on my blog was taken with a Nikon D3200 and a 35mm lens. The reason why I say almost is because right when I started blogging I used to use a Canon SX40 HS, but I've been trying to erase all of that and create a better content. Let's just say, I wasn't very good at taking pictures even on auto mode. But that's acceptable, you don't have to be great at it right when you start. It takes time and practice to learn about angles, lighting, color correction, manual settings and the list goes on.

If you're starting out, you don't necessarily have to invest in a DSLR camera. Nowadays, point and shoots are very resourceful and you will be able to take great shots with it.

I recently acquired a Canon Rebel T5i with a 50mm 1.8 II lens. I just really needed to step up my YouTube game. The Nikon D3200 is a great camera, but when it comes to videos it does lack in many ways. For instance, it does not have a flip-out screen, it does not allow tethered shooting with a computer and the autofocus is not the best. Now back to blogging, both cameras take amazing photos. If you are looking for a great camera especially for products' pictures I would recommend any of these. Now, if you need to take portrait pictures of yourself, stay away from cameras that don't have a flip-out screen.


This part is meant for beauty bloggers or anyone that is trying to showcase an object. Instead of always using a white table/surface, why not add a pop of color and create an interesting background?! I often use colorful papers, magazines and even fabric. It really adds a lot of personality to the picture and the end result is stunning. Sometimes I place the product I'm photographing on my bed, and I make sure that the blanket underneath it is really messy, so it gives some dimension to the picture. This step is very personal, it's really up to you to decide what works with your "theme" and what doesn't. It's all about being creative and adding your touch to it.



This is probably one of the hardest things to get right. You can either use natural lighting or artificial lighting, in my case I use both combined. I drew these illustrations so you could easily understand how my setups in two different cases are. For portrait pictures I place my tripod right in front of me and my umbrella in a 15 degree angle. For taking photos of objects I prefer to remove the umbrella and apply direct light onto the product, so it brightens the entire area. My umbrella has one light bulb and I use a standard fluorescent light. 

This is what works for me, and I know that it's preferable to sit in front of a window. However, my bedroom is small and my bed is right in front of the window, therefore I had to improvise and make the best of a bad situation. It's important to balance the lights, if you have a window on one side and you can't face it, use some sort of artificial lighting on the other side.


Like I said before, you will not be good at first. There is so much to learn and the only way to do so is by practicing and researching. I don't think I'm reaching my full potential, but I sure am trying. Don't forget, you can never learn too much, there is always room for improvement. So go get your camera, take several photos on different settings and see what looks best.

If you want to know how I edit my pictures make sure to check my "5 Apps I Can't Live Without". Also, if you have any tips on this subject, please let me know! 

I'm obsessed with finding good apps. Here are some of my most used ones, that I just can't live without. The best part is, they are all free!

1. Instagram - Is there anyone that doesn't love this app? Let's be real, we've all stalked someone there at least once... Or a million times. Besides that, you can find so many beautiful pictures that will definitely inspire you.
2. SoundHound - I don't hear a lot of people talking about this app, but I just love how quick and easy I can find any song. I'm really passionate about music, so this is a total must in my life.
3. VSCOcam - At one point, I used to edit my pictures with the Instagram filters and then I found this amazing app that changed everything. It comes with a lot of great filters. You can also modify the contrast, temperature and many important settings that, when used correctly, will improve your photos.
4. PS Express - With this editing app you can remove imperfections, such as pimples and scars. However, if you don't care much about that part you can play with the contrast, brightness, crop your pictures, add borders, filters and a lot more.
5. Twitter - When I first started blogging I only used Twitter to share my videos and new posts, but now I'm really into sharing my thoughts and funny things that happen to me. It's an amazing way to connect with other bloggers and people that have the same interest as you.

What are some of your favorite apps?

In the beginning of March I flew to Salvador, which is located in northeast Brazil. Just like last year, I went there to visit my father. Unfortunately, time flies. However, I can say that I had such a great time. As we landed, we were advised to be cautious regarding displaying expensive electronic devices in some public areas. That is why I don't have many pictures from historical places.

I wish that I had gone there during winter. I would have loved to explore a lot more than I did. The heat was making the simple task of leaving my hotel room and walk to the mall, that was by the side of the hotel, almost impossible. But me being an eccentric human, had a bomber jacket on.

I love being able to stare at the sky and go through the clouds. I'm a very visual person, so the beautiful bright colors and architecture make me incredibly happy. How amazing are these airplane photos that I allegedly stole from my dad? I'm quite obsessed with the intensity of the colors.

The feeling of being in a really big city is fascinating. So many lives, so many stories. I get astonished every time that I travel. I'm really thankful for having the opportunity of going places that I have never imagined visiting.

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.

A few months ago I flew to the other side of the country to see my dad. I finally went through all the photos, so I decided to share a little bit of my life. One fact about me, I love traveling.

My trip was to Recife, a beautiful place located in northeast Brazil. The hotel view was breathtaking, I took so many pictures that it's not even funny. Don't even let me start with one of the malls we went, it was huge! I love shopping, but that place made an one hour workout seem easy. At the end of the day I was done, truly exhausted.

The worst part was definitely coming back, and sitting beside a couple that didn't want to keep their shoes on, disgusting. At least I had one of my favorite chocolates to enjoy!
