Cappuccino and cookies before bed!
x Delicious! X

Night is a wonderful opportunity
to take rest,
to forgive,
to dream,
to smile and
to get ready for all the battle
that you have to fight tomorrow.
x Good Night x

Much love,
Gigi ;)

Hi everyone. Sorry for neglecting my blog, but I've been really busy lately. Yesterday I spent the day out at a artistic gymnastics competition, in which I got 1st place!!!!! :D And today I spent the day studying maths (BORING!!) I want/need spring break! Unfortunately I still didn't have edited my "How to fix broken makeup", so you have to wait a little longer :(
+ yeah, I know, shame on me.
+ I also made cookies this morning.
The one you see in the picture I speacially made for my boyfriend (:

Much love,
Gigi

Essence Haul!

Hello...so prom is gone and now I finally have more time to write here (not really :x )!
What I got to say about prom? AMAZING I loved it so much, it's a shame that it only happens once at a lifetime lol

Moving into the haul:
xSo, "essence" is a european makeup brand that sells their products at a low price. And they are good quality.
I ordered it online but this store only ships to portugal.
But you can also find it at ULTA.COM if you live in the U.S..

xHere it goes:
















I got:
+Glossy Lipbalm in Sweet Strawberry
+Magic Design Mascara in black
+Pure skin compact powder (not available at ULTA.com)
+Catwalk fashion tape (not available at ULTA.com)

What about you, have you haver used essence cosmetics?

Much love,

Sunday is over...
Tomorrow starts the "prom night countdown" (it's saturday) and I don't even have the shoes -.-'
And I also need to make an appointment to wax my eyebrows.
This week will be very busy, because I still need to buy the shoes, get my roots done, wax, help with the prom decorations. And with all the school work and gymnastic practices it's not easy.
Also I want to make a "minimergency kit" for anything that may happen. So I'm thinking in a kit with:

xBobby pins
xSafety pins
xSome makeup (touch-up)
xBreathmints/Chewing gum
xTissues
xPerfume
xDeodorant
xBand Aids
xQ-tips
xMaybe pain relievers? (What do you think?)

What do you think of this kit? There is anything else I should take with me?

Much Love,
Gigi

BACK!!!!

Hi guys!!!
First post of 2010.
I hope everyone's having a great year so far.
-----------------------------------

Moving on into the actual post...
So, the explanation for the lack of updates is because lately I went trough a lot of stuff and lots of mess in my life and I didn't feel like doing posts and everything. But the truth is that everything is cool now, I feel happy and I want to comeback with some posts here...even though I don't have much free time in my life. I've been busy with school work, acrobatics, etc.

As you know it's been a week since valentine's day... And guess what? I didn't spend the day with my bf, because I was out of town. So, I decided to go shopping to fill the hole inside me (great excuse, right?). At first I bought some shirts, a jacket and some accessories. Then I went to MAC (FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!!!) willing to try their "studio fix fluid", because next week I have a photoshoot and next month I have my prom, so i needed I really good foundation.

I was expecting to spend like 20€ or something, because I checked the price at their website and it 26US$. So I asked the girl the price of it and she said: €3o (40US$)...I was like: "WT&$&#%$&?" But then she asked me if I would like to try it, and I said yes. So, she applied on me the foundation, concealer, powder and mascara, when I looked at the mirror I was so happy with the huge difference, that I ended up buying the studio fix fluid. I used it every single day this past week and so far I am REALLY REALLY happy with it.

I know it was very expensive but I don't regret it, it works AMAZING on my skin.

Huge post already...it's better for me to shut up.
Love,
x Gigi

P.S: If you want me to do a review on the studio fix fluid or if you have any questions about it, feel free to leave a comment here.
