Hello, Everyone!

I had never made a post about my beauty routine or something similar since the creation of the blog, today's post I want to share with you my beauty routine for this winter.

It's scary for me because this winter, my skin has already begun to suffer from low temperatures, cracked lips, rough skin, and ironically, increased oiliness are just a few that are happening to my skin on these colder days.

In winter the days become colder, rainier and windy. These environmental changes oblige us to use heating in our homes, which in turn makes the air drier. With all these environmental changes both the skin and the hair can be affected, and sometimes it becomes necessary to change the products and routines that we used in the previous seasons. 

What happens with the Skin in the winter

At this time, the skin tends to lose water more easily, which causes a sensation of sensitiveness, and the skin starts to getting cracked or even peeling, and this is felt mainly by those who already suffer from dry skin. However, some oily skins may also suffer from dehydration, and some special care should also be reinforced at this time.

In addition to these problems that affect most people, diseases such as atopic dermatitis or psoriasis usually worsen at this time.

Why does the skin suffer so much in the winter?

There are several reasons that explain why our skin suffers so much in the winter. One is that, as the humidity in the air gets low in the cold day, our body sweating also decreases. In other words, we sweat less in the winter, which makes our skin dry.

It is also very common at this time to take hotter baths for the sake of, let's say survive in the winter! But, as many of you are already tired of knowing, hot water does very bad for our skin because it damages the lipid-mantle, responsible for giving the soft and smooth texture to the skin. The opposite can also happen, which is when the skin loses so much natural oiliness that it ends up producing, even more, oil, leaving the hair more oily than normal.


Cold days also causes our skin to lose important proteins causing extreme dryness and even some more serious diseases like seborrheic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis.

My new skincare routine


In the winter I had to change a little bit my routine of care adding some essential products and taking others that are not so good in the cold day. I need, for example, to change my cleaning soap to a less stringent one. If you have a dry skin you can add the facial oils, which are great for all skin types, and use and abuse of the thermal water to maintain the skin. Important: If you have a sensitive skin do not use whitening cream, exfoliating cream or acidic products. Because the skin becomes even more sensitive in winter and all you do not want to do is to harm your skin. I particularly like to intensify my skin care, introducing richer and more potent products to maintain my skin healthy.

These are some of the products I use in my day-to-day life. Nothing extravagant, just essential items for a clean, toned and moisturized skin.

Makeup Trends for 2018
The trends of makeup for 2018 have already been announced in the Fashion Weeks. And the news comes to please all types of women, from the most discreet to those who enjoy a good makeup.  So the makeup maxim for summer 2018 is to simplify. It's time to say goodbye to Kim Kardashian's heavy contouring technique.
Eyelashes mascara and colored eyeshadows gain prominence in the makeup of summer 2018. Smokey eyes in shades of pink, coral and also colder colors like blue and purple will be the main protagonists of the season, combined with a skin with a tan effect.

Minimalist Brightness
The idea is to lighten the skin, but now with a more natural looking for a tan effect, with illuminators and also with the blush. As for the lips, the bet is on creamier lipsticks with soft effects. Lighted skin and full glossy lips are the highlights for next season. Work also in the blush or bronzer. In the eyes, warm and/or neutral tones. Apply mascara for lashes to finish.

Metallic shadows/ metallic smokey eyes
The metallic is one of the trends for the outfits and will appear also with prominence in the makeup. A striking look at the makeup trends for spring and summer 2018 is one that has silver or gold shadows. Glitter lovers will be able to fill the entire eyelid with that shade that may have powder or cream texture. And finish the look with a perfect winged eyeliner. Modernize your look with these tips of what will be on the trend for the spring-summer of 2018.

Colors of lipsticks for 2018
The lipstick colors that will dominate 2018 are diverse. The matte lipstick is losing its place to give more space to glossy lips. After the absolute reign of matte lipstick, the gloss is back. Nothing more natural than a well hydrated and shiny lip to accompany an illuminated skin. The tip is: invest in transparent lip gloss and change the color using the lipsticks you already have. The main bets of the lipstick are: Coral lipstick, lipstick in different shades of pink, lip gloss, lipstick with a vinyl coating or lacquered, orange lipsticks, lipstick in brown or caramel shades, different shades of red, nude lipstick, grayish shade, dark shades.

Skin with a natural look and hydrated skin
Look for luminous skin, well moisturized and fresh. Increasingly, people are opting for the skin with well-cared aspect and with fewer signs of makeup. You have a naturalness in that! So both creams and makeup foundations have become one. They are a foundation that takes care of the skin and at the same time help to disguise the imperfections, like stains.

Long-lasting matte skin that is hydrated and lighted. To get to that look, hydrate and lighten the skin both underneath and over your favorite matte foundation. Do not forget to exfoliate and treat the skin with serums and moisturizers that is ideal for your skin type before applying the makeup. Add your favorite matte effect foundation and apply a powder; after applying the powder, lighten the cheeks, cupid bow and the top of the nose with a highlighter.
The natural glow of well-prepared skin attracts more attention than a heavily contoured face. A natural skin, correcting only the imperfections. The light is on account of the highlighter, which promises to replace the contouring technique in the makeup. This new trend comes with the name of Strobing.

Makeup with natural colors
Last season the makeup was of bronze and copper tones. For makeup 2018 the key color of the season will be the translucent brown. So feel free to use makeup with all shades of brown: in the eyes a lighter and translucent tone and lips a more vivid and dense colors.

Hello, Everyone!
At this holiday season, it is worth to invest some time in a special make-up or experiencing something different. After all, this is a good opportunity to test that new eyeshadow palette or use that lipstick that you love so much. More than following the trends of the moment, take advantage of your natural pretty face. Nowadays, there are several makeup products, adapted to the different skin types to get the intended effect.

From the full coverage foundation that uniform the skin tone and give a greater luminosity, or that provide a greater coverage of the spots and imperfections. Powders and highlighters sticks, which create spots of light on the face. Eyelash mascara, which lengthens and give more volume, creating a doll lash effect. Bronzing powders and blushes, which allow the contouring of the face and give a healthier air, highlighting the cheekbones. Eyeshadows that enhance the eyelids and "open" the look. Eyebrows mascara or tint, which fixes and give a greater expressiveness to the face. Lipsticks that increase the volume of the lips and with long-lasting duration so that you do not have to reapply it every time. Anyway, it is difficult to choose between so many options.

On the New Year Eve parties, women bet on bright looks, with sparkles and bright, radiant colors. And makeup does not have to be different. Beautiful, healthy and well-cared skin is key in production. 



Women are increasingly looking for makeup trends as it is a way of enhancing natural beauty and making them even more beautiful for the special occasions. Party makeup has a varied choice of trends, so, I'm writing this post with five makeup suggestions for New Year Eve pa, both for those who prefer a lighter makeup and a more bold one,  or want a sexy and sophisticated look. After all, this is a good opportunity to experience that more elaborate party makeup.  For more end of the year, party makeup tips click here.

For those who do not have a lot of makeup practice like me, my advice is to try before, in order to evaluate the effect and see if you like the final result. Nowadays, there are many videos with makeup tutorials on youtube that show you step by step and with which you can inspire.

Before applying the makeup is important to remember that preparing the skin to receive the makeup is crucial, so before anything remember to always to apply a moisturizer, a primer and sunscreen protect your skin from harmful agents.

After that the makeup starts with a correction of imperfections that are made using a foundation and concealer, a party makeup asks for a foundation with a full coverage effect, so remember this when choosing the foundation that will be used.

On this date, opt for an outfit that will leave you comfortable and follow your style and personality. And following the trends is much easier to adapt!

The Christmas is around the corner! Christmas and New Year. The end of year parties along with some work fraternization become the biggest concerns and, you have to buy all the gifts and preparation of the dinner,  and you have to think about "which clothes to wear?" or "What makeup do you use?" are constant questions, especially if you are one of those who enjoys producing the festivities. Both Christmas and New Year Eve, you find opportunities to create a different, more festive, more cheerful look. However, it is important to take into consideration that the makeup should last all night. For you who have not decided how to make up during this special season, check some tips for the night:
makeup

Do: Prepare the skin before to wear the makeup

For the New Year, which has several possibilities for parties, the makeup can be more bold, with brightness, colored pencil or darker lipsticks. At this time, it is important to focus on long-lasting products, so the look lasts all night. Products like a primer, pore minimizer, long-lasting foundation and matte lipsticks are great suggestions for the moment.
makeup


Do not: Creamy lipstick

It may be a makeup trend, along with glossy lipstick effect, but definitely should be left out on end of the year party occasions. That's because these parties are usually accompanied by dinners with lots of food and drink. To avoid reapplying the lipstick all the time or erasing it, prefer more nude lips or matte texture, which is longer lasting.
makeup trends

Do: Invest in the makeup trends

Metalized, platinum-plated and chrome-plated shades are a great choice for new year parties. If you are looking for an occasion to use these products, the moment is for the holiday's parties. If you choose a metallic shade, for example, combine with a nude lipstick, to create a balanced look. It is time for celebration, celebration, and more celebration. Feel free be happy and glamorous!
MAKEUP TIPS FOR END OF THE YEAR PARTIES!

Do not: Too overworked makeup

Just because it's Christmas, you do not have to wear makeup with green, red and gold shades in the eyes and most importantly, do not use all three at once. If you're spending the Christmas at home with family, it's also not interesting to wear a heavy makeup. The important thing is to feel comfortable.
makeup tips

Do: Take it easy

At Christmas, we can think of a more discreet makeup, mainly because this is an occasion that most people spend at home with their family: The priority is to keep skin lighter, without many wearing too much makeup, since you will be at home and there is no need to look like who is going to a red carpet ceremony or a wedding.

Hello there,

It is practical, versatile the lipstick is the most iconic piece of makeup and a classic that never goes out of style, so you can have the fun of using it in all colors and textures. It is also essential for a complete makeup look, the lipstick, besides beautifying the woman and enhance the lips, provides more personality to the production and gives the finishing touch. With the end of year parties, it is important to choose elegant colors that match the season.
So in today post, I separated some options of lipsticks, of different colors and shades that fit well for the end of year party. Still, do not know which color to use? Or what lipstick buy to give as a gift? The darker tones of wine, red, bordeaux, plum, browns, which are always trending when it comes to lipsticks. Obviously, the cleans tones remain a strong bet and the lipstick makes all the difference in a woman's makeup. Even if the makeup is lighter and simple, a lipstick gives that elegant and glamorous touch.

As the end of the year, partties are in the winter, the winter makeup calls for more closed and dramatic colors, which come into harmony with the greyish sky of cold days. On the lips, this is reflected in deep tones of wine, purple and red.
