Nails trend


If you thought nails have gone crazy lately, weather if it’s mate nail polish, magnetics, metallics or even stickers with different patterns… this goes beyond the color. Make sure to keep on reading this! This evening I’ve been searching colors for spring-summer or mate nail polishes when I’ve found something really curious on Kiko:
Sugar matSugar Mat nail polish! I know some of you already know about caviar or velvet nails, but are quite tricky. You need to be really patient to let it dry and it doesn’t last any longer than a couple of days. This “Sugar Mat” polish is something in between those two above. It feels as if my nails were painted with soft sand! And it seems pretty hard to break!
Tell me what do you think about it and what do you usually look for your perfect manicure
See you soon,
Cristina

Yay! I'm back!


Life is tricky. How can it be that small?  Sorry, I’ll be more concrete. 

I’ve been really busy for a couple of months, and I’m not done yet, and for that reason, this blog has been unfairly abandoned.  
Today, once again I’ve remembered at class that a blog is a daily thing, or at least it should be. 
This time, although, the situation has been different. We were talking about different types of new advertising, such as street marketing or blogs themselves, and that’s were I saw what a blog ought to be: 
  • A blog is some kind of journey to what it is published, in other words, it should be specialised and actualised frequent.
  • Entries usually are focused to generate discus about related topics with interesting areas.
  • Blogs are tools to do community, as it becomes a reference to its followers and can be a good way to advertise. 

As far as it can be true or not, what I’m concerned now is that I AM SORRY for not keeping it updated as often as I should if I’d like to keep this blog alive. 

So, as a way of rescue my old sharing-interesting-webs style, I’d like to mention Lookbook.nu. It’s a web to share your OOTD (outfit of the day). It is really useful if you like fashion. And it also has its own iPhone App to see and upload your OOTD. 
You can find interesting things to use as a gift! 





I hope I can be able to find more worth to sharing sites to you people. 

Wish me luck, because just after Christmas I begin finals

See you soon,


Cristina

Fall'12


Hey everyone! It’s been a long time since my last post, and I am very sorry. This summer has been tough. Life is hard nowadays, and working is not an option but an obligation. 

But today I don’t want to complain about the economy, I want to share with you what’s up to H&M and MANGO today.

If you are in Barcelona today, H&M opens its doors at Portal del Ángel Street to sell Anna Dello Russo’s accessories collection! But if we remember previous collections made by Lanvin or Versace, be able to buy anything after 11 am is nearly impossible because of the huge cues made on early hours in the morning. They open at 10, but people planned to be there by 4-5 am!! I love the items although their prices I’d like to buy some extravagant googles and shoes, but I’m unable at those hours.

For those who are more night lovers, Mango is doing Shopping Night!!  Today starting at 19 h. They offer a 20% off including MAC make up! So, in case you’d like to assist, go to mango.com to get your invitation. Maybe we see each other there!

I hope I’ll be able to upload entries more often. In case I end up buying anything today at mango I will share it with you.

Have fun, enjoy the day and see you soon

Cristina.

La mirada: un arma de seducción


Todos hemos oído que el amor es como la guerra: “todo se vale”. Por eso hay que ir siempre preparado para la batalla. Hoy, os quiero hablar de: “la mirada como un arma de seducción.

A través de la mirada, se puede transmitir cualquier sentimiento, es más, por desgracia, en algunos casos es un arma de doble filo, ya que sin querer podemos mostrar algo que realmente queremos ocultar como el miedo, la sorpresa, la atracción...
La manera de abrir los ojos, ligeros movimientos de cejas y la dilatación de las pupilas son algunos causantes de estas derrotas.

Por lo que hace el primer contacto visual, diríamos que es determinante, y una de las cosas que más importa. Solo se puede dar una primera impresión, ¿Verdad? Por ese motivo, hay que cuidar la mirada y, con un maquillaje acorde con nuestra fisonomía podemos llegar a resaltar los ojos, dándoles una apariencia más penetrante y desafiante.

Una vez encontramos el objetivo, esa persona que nos parece interesante a primeras, se trata de cruzar las miradas. En otras palabras, hacer que coincidan. Por eso, hay que intentar transmitir felicidad y optimismo, ya que ese tipo de sentimientos serás más atractivos que no unos ojos tristes y caídos.

Pero lo que de verdad, de verdad hace que funcione es el tiempo. No la experiencia, sino la durada de la mirada. Que dos miradas desconocidas se crucen así porque sí no da pié a nada si no se mantiene ese “encuentro”. Para que el mensaje sea claro y efectivo debe mantenerse el contacto visual durante 3-4 segundos, si no pasaremos sin más.

Eso sí, ese momento no es para devorar, sino para seducir. Hay que ser coqueto, ya que ir muy directo puede a veces conseguir un efecto contrario, llegando a asustar a esa persona. Y no es lo que estamos buscando.

Para ayudarnos y ayudar al otro a entender nuestras intenciones, no hay nada mejor que acompañar la mirada con una sonrisa. Así reafirmamos que estamos mirándole y que existe atracción por nuestra parte. Y de este modo, podemos dar pie a que surja todo lo demás.

Finalmente me gustaría acabar con una cita del Príncipe Maquiavelo, quien dijo que “en general, los hombres juzgan más por los ojos que no por la inteligencia, pues todos pueden ver, pero pocos comprenden lo que ven”.

Con lo que quiero decir que, aunque una persona os conquiste con la mirada, no os quedéis ahí. Interesaos por conocer que la hace especial.

Así que ánimos a todos los que lo intentéis, ya me diréis si os ha ido bien.

Fix your broken pressed powder!

It's been a while since my last post, but exams are here and I ran out of time to look for something really worth to share.

Today I've found an amazing trick to recover your shadows or any other kind of powder make up!





I couldn't believe it when I saw it, but it's simple and really works.  

You only need alcohol and a clean brush! What you have to do is mix the alcohol with the broken pressed powder and await until the powder is soft so you can blend those together. And you're done! You just have to wait until it's completely dry to use your make up again. But be aware that it will not be as  compact as it was.

(Image and tuttorial are from here)

I hope you like it. Leave a comment below and tell me if you have any trick on how to fix and enlarge your make up life.

See you soon,

Spring day!


Hello everyone!

Before saying anything else, thanks to all the people that help this blog to reach the 1,000 visits! You made my day!
I never thought this could go that far, being another blog on the enormous Internet.

Today I’m not writing nowhere else but from a park! The sun is shinning although the wind that blows every 2 minutes. And it’s quite interesting watching the people pasing by. It looks like a nonstopping runway of differents styles and faces.

Bussines men and women, younth back from school, mothers with strollers, boys and girls wearing the lastest fashion, lovely couples, and of course, nothing would be completed without the turists and their cameras!

Oooh! And look! Runners! How brave they are! I wouldn’t be able to run at midday when the sun is that hot.

Getting into the day, within less than 2 weeks, we’ll be celebrating Sant George (Sant Jordi). Books and roses will be sold to demonstrate your love to your beloved one.  And for my surprise, i do not see any sing on libraries or shops to promote it. People doesn’t seem to be sighted for those things.

I maybe get inspiration to write some poetry or short novel. I think old poets did that on spring, watching flowers growing, the birds singing and butterflies flirting everywhere around, didn’t they?

Sorry for the long post, but today I feel like writing and nothing on Internet was interesting enough to share with you guys.

I hope, in case I’m not able to make any new post by the time Sant Jordi is here, you spend a nice time with your loved ones.

If you have any suggestion of a book you’ve read that you like to share,  or you like to share your spring feelings, don’t be afraid and leave a comment below, I’d love to read them.

See you soon,

Easter eggs!

Hi! 

I thing it's been just a few days since my last post, and maybe because it's holidays and I see cakes and chocolates everywhere and I like to share with you those recipes.

Today cake is a well known but with a different appearance. I mean brownies, but perfect for easter, because of the shape! If you usually like to paint eggs for childrends, and after these days, throw them away, maybe you can use those instead to contain the dessert. And with a little patience, also, paint them.



The recipe is in both in spanish and english in a webpage called La receta de la felicidad , where you can find how to prepare those tiny cute things.

I hope you like it, and leave a comment below and tell me what do you usually do for easter. Not only to eat but for the childrens of the family. 

Have fun and enjoy the rest of the holidays.

See you soon, 

           Cristina

Changing eggs for macarons!

Hi everyone! It's been a while since my last post, and I am sorry. The nice weather and the good company are the ones to blame. 

Today I want to share with you something sweet and according to the easter holidays. 

Although you may know already, in some McDonald's there's an area dedicated to coffee and bakery.  For some reason I don't know why, a few months ago, after having a meal on that restaurant, on my way out I saw a picture of one of the most famous French desserts, and no, I did not see a croissant, but a Macaron!! I couldn't believe they were selling those in there! 

That colourful mini-cake is, a part of adorable and sort of expensive sweet for its size (about 0,90-1€ each), one of the most sweetest and delicious thing you can ever eat. And as always, those things become even more tasty accompanied with a good cappuccino and, obviously with a great company. 

                                



Usually, the color matches its favour, so you can find infinity of varieties. Chocolate, strawberry, berry, pistachio, orange, lemon... and a way long list. 

I know that with easter came decorated eggs, really colourful eggs, but what about doing something with those instead?

I would like to share with you all a webpage of cooking lessons, but made easily. It's called SORTED, where some guys cook in a easy way something that really stands out. 


So if you want to know how you can do bake your own macarons, feel free to click on the image of my experience. 

Don't forget to subscribe/follow and leave a comment below and if you try to cook those, tell me how it went. 


See you soon,
