Music Playlist

So this is the first time that I'm posting something (I think) about another thing that I really love: music! I felt like blogging something that wouldn't take too long and this seems like the perfect post. I need to take a break from all the homeworks, projects and studies I have to do!

Anyways, here are some of the music I've been loving for the past few weeks...

1) Ain't no rest for the wicked - Cage the elephant

2) Come with me now - KONGOS

3) Snap out of it - Arctic Monkeys

4) 505 - Arctic Monkeys

5) Sex and candy - Marcy Playground

6) Love me again - John Newman

7) Paradise City - Guns N' Roses

8) Babe I'm gonna leave you - Led Zeppelin

9) Whole lotta love - Led Zeppelin

10) Arabella - Arctic Monkeys

Honestly, there's sooo many types of music that I like, I could go on and on. Let me know if you like these kind of post and I could try to them more often :) 

The Beauty Tag

I love doing a tag - it's relaxing and it gets your mind off of anything stressful! :) Hope you'll enjoy!

1. Do you remember your first make up item?
Not exactly - but I'm pretty sure it was something from NYC.

2. What kind of coverage do you prefer for your foundation?
I'd say light/medium coverage. Even if sometimes I would need more coverage, but I don't really don't feel comfortable with alot of coverage.

3. Favourite high end brand?
Can I say all of them? But I guess I'd say MAC, Urban Decay, NARS, Too Faced..  I could go on ahah!

4. Favourite drugstore/highstreet brand?
Maybelline, Revlon, Rimmel, ELF, NYX, Wet N' Wild.

5. What cosmetics brands have you always wanted to try but still haven't?
Chanel or Dior. I really want to try something from those brands. Especially Chanel. One day!

6. Do you wear fake eyelashes?
Sometimes. For special occasion or when I go out.

7. Is there any kind of make up you can't leave the house without?
Face powder and mascara.

8. What is your most cherished beauty product?
Probably my Urban Decay Naked Palette - Since my love for makeup has grown I didn't get the chance to go to a Sephora, cause we had none here. So when I went to New York, I finally got the chance to buy my Urban Decay Naked Palette at the Sephora in Times Squares. It was a special moment ahah!

9. How often do you shop for make up? Do you pick out a lot of products at once?
When I had a job, yes - I bought alot of products at once. But right now, not really. Can't say I'm on a spending ban but I'm trying to use and enjoy the product I already have. I still buy stuff from time to time but rarely all at once. Also, I rarely have the time to watch Youtube videos, sadly, but I guess it does help...

10. Do you have a 'beauty budget'?
No.

11. What type of product do you buy the most?
I love buying eyeshadow palettes at Sephora! Lately, I like trying out new skincare product.

12. Do you have a favourite place to shop for make up?
Sephora, MAC, Walmart, Target, Pharmacies...

13. If you could only buy from one brand, which brand would you choose?
That's a hard one. Probably MAC!

14. Which brand has the best packaging?
Benefit, Too Faced, NARS

15. Which celebrity always has great make up?
Lauren Conrad

16. Which do you apply first, concealer or foundation?
Concealer.

17. Do you like multifunctional products like lip and cheek stains?
Yes. I love benetint!

18. Do you apply your foundation with a brush, sponge or fingers?
Not always the same. I like using all of them. It depends on how much time I have.

19. Which foundation do you use the most?
I don't really think I have a favorite. 

20. Do you use a make up base or primer for the eyes? 
Yes - Urban Decay Primer Potion. 

I'm tagging everyone!

Top 5 of 2013 - Haircare

I know, I know, I'm kinda late with this. I don't know why I forgot about my Top 5 of 2013 - Haircare part... I was planning on having more to my Top 5 of 2013 series, but I guess it's a bit too late now... So I'll just have one that is essential: haircare. I guess it's better late than never, right? 

Hopefully you'll still enjoy. Here are my Top 5 of 2013:

*got2b beach trippin' salt-infusion waving spray* 

I've been wanting to try a salt-infused waving spray for a while, but they're always too expensive. So I was super happy to find a drugstore alternative. I'm always wanting to make my curly hair, more on the wavy side... so I could say that this helps the case. It makes your hair look like you've spent the whole day at the beach (I wish). It gives a great wavy texture and still moisturise so it's not crunchy!

*Aussie Sydney Smooth Heat Protector + Leave-in conditioner spray*

I love how this helps straighten your hair with the heat protector and the leave-in conditioner helps to keep your hair silky smooth. A great 2-in-1 product!

*got2b smooth operator with cashmere smoothing hairspray*

First off, can we just take a moment to appreciate the packaging? Ok, now we can move on to the actual product... I've been loving this hairspray since highschool so it's not surprise that it's in my top 5. It's a hairspray infused with cashmere so it leaves your hair smooths, with no fly-aways and frizzies. It keeps your hair in place and it's not crunchy. The smell is amazing as well.

*TRESemmé FreshStart Waterless Foam Shampoo Moisturizing For Curly/Dry Hair*

It's a great alternative to spray especially when you have curly hair. The great thing that makes it easier for us, curly haired people, is that you don't need to brush it off. You can just use a towel.

*Aussie Hair Insurance Split End Protector*

Split end is a hair problem of mine. This product has helped me out to, atleast control more, my split ends.
