WINTER FAVORITES!

Hi guys, tomorrow is (finally) the first day of Spring! Spring has great vibes to it so I'm honestly totally excited to leave my sweaters and hoodies behind and start embracing the warmer weather that's coming our way! Before I start enjoying Spring, I thought I'd blog about some beauty products that I used a lot this winter! Let's get to it!

1.  This product is a life-saver! If you buy this eye cream you can literally kiss your dark circles goodbye! I personally do have dark circles under my eyes and I've been trying to find a way to get rid of them as much as I can but getting enough sleep is basically impossible especially during uni so Sesha saved me! In a matter of a couple weeks my dark circles were basically gone!










2. During winter skin gets really dry and it's a hassle to keep it moisturized. I really don't like applying things on my face especially before I go to bed cause I'd be rushing to get as many hours of sleep as possible, lol. Recently, though, I've been embracing my night cream routine and this product is included in it. The La Roche-Posay moisturizer did my skin wonders this winter, it went from an almost-disaster to beyond soft and smooth. Everyone should try this one out and it definitely should be used all year round not just winter.



3. So this isn't really a new product or anything but I've always been a loyal Maybelline mascara user so I never really thought of trying out something else until I got my hands on the Benefit They're Real mascara. It's such a good product guys, I literally insist that anyone who wants to sort of spend more than they usually would on a mascara to use this splurge on this one. Ever since I got it, I ditched half the products I used to use in my daily makeup routine because I honestly didn't need anything to complete my look except this!



4. I used to be a stubborn girl who would refuse to buy or use an eyelash curler. I fully believed that I don't need one and my eyelashes are naturally as nice as they can be. I don't know what happened one day when I was driving back from uni, I stopped at the drugstore near my house and got one. I wanted to see what the magic behind eyelash curlers is. It is what it is, magic. My eyelashes have never felt this long or thick or... curled. If you're like me, too stubborn to give this product a shot, please take my word for it and try it out.


5. THE BEST CONCEALER EVER! I've changed concealers so many times during my life and I literally never bought the same concealer twice cause I would never like any of them on my eyes, except this one. The L'Oreal True Match concealer (which I use in the shade 4) is the best thing that's ever happened to my eyes. It gives them a natural glow and it covers up insanely well!






6. When I got my hands on this palette, I literally felt like a little kid in a candy store. "oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy", lol. The shades in this palette are perfect for any time of day, the brush that comes with it is so soft and blends really well, and the colors are extremely pigmented! Whenever anyone gets the chance to get this palette, please please do.






7. My absolute favorite winter shade. I know what you're thinking, this doesn't really look like a "winter" shade, you'd normally expect burgundy or something. Considering I go to uni literally every single day, if i put on a burgundy lipstick I would look completely out of place. The MAC Twig satin lipstick was my go-to lipstick this winter, its pink shade is so refreshing and it literally never wears off all day. For spring/summer I will probably opt for a more nude shade so I'll definitely post what it turns out to be!

8. Last but not least, my go-to scent for the season! This Vanilla Lace Victoria's Secret body mist is the best winter scent anyone can possibly think of. It has a mix of vanilla and musk so it has this warm vibe to it. Elena got this for me and I've been using it ever since!

The 1975

Hi guys! I'm currently supposed to be studying for a midterm, and my friend is looking curiously at my screen to know why I'm still stalling studying, and now he's reading what I'm writing. Well, that kind of creates a scene for you doesn't it? Anyway, I thought I should share what I've been listening to throughout the midterms this year. Last time I did a similar post was last spring semester, and well here we are again! This year has a different feel to it, so obviously the music has changed too. This post isn't a list of songs, it's more like praising a band that I love so much at the moment. The 1975. Their songs probably have the best lyrics ever, they have a different vibe than what we're listening to on the radio, and I love it. I'm going to include links to three of my current favorite songs so give them a listen and I can guarantee that you will keep the autoplay on Youtube going for hours.
