Special Review of the Month*: the NAKED BASICS palette

Hi guys!

So, it's true! We're finally in 2015! We hope you had a wonderful time with all your friends and family. We are so sorry, again, for being away from the blog for more than a month... I know it is not an excuse but the exams and the holidays killed us! But now we are back and we are here to stay! 2015 will be an even better year, we hope!

So, today I thought that it would be nice if I picked one of my recent palettes that I've received and make a review. So that is what I did!

Here I bring you, the NAKED BASICS palette.

I know it's not a new thing on the shelfs but here in Portugal they take a little more time to get it on the display to buy...
So, first, let's talk about the box, the exterior package.
It is a sleek box, in a taupe color which is very chic, in my opinion. The size of the palette is perfect for travel or just to have a quick and simple makeup on the run, in the elevator, in the car... In the back of the box, there's a description of the eyeshadow colors that are inside of the palette, and the list of the ingredients, of course!

The palette has six colors: one shimmer and five totally matte. 

The shimmer color is a champagne color and the name is VENUS. I think that is a well known eyeshadow from urban decay, and you can find it in another palettes too. The matte colors are a yellow-toned beige, a pink-toned color, a nude base for the lid, a matte brown and a dark black. The first matte yellow-toned color is FOXY; the pink-toned one is WALK OF SHAME (or W.O.S); the nude is NAKED 2; the brown color is FAINT and finally the black is CRAVE.
These are the perfect colors if you want to create an easy, simple and chic nude eye makeup. They are so easy to aply and the pigmentation is awesome! It is so creamy too!

 The size of this palette is also interesting. It is not too small or too big: it's perfect! For me, I'm always travelling and on the run, it's my favourite palette to get on THE GO! It is always in my purse because I can transform my day makeup to a night makeup in the bathroom, with this palette, in 5 minutes! How cool is that?!

Here in Portugal, the palette retails for 27 euros, but when I bought it at Sephora, I used a discount that I had from my birthday and it costed 23 euros. Not bad!
If you are interested in this palette go to Sephora!

So, that is all for today!

Chocolate Time*: how to survive winter!

Hi guys!

So, first let me excuse for all this time without posting... We've been very busy with some jobs and me, personnaly, I've been sick :( So, now that I'm better, I'm here again to tell you about a delicious thing that I've found in THE BODY SHOP store in my town.

Here it is guys! The Chocomania Body Butter!

Since the brand started to appear, I was in love for all the products! The body butters, the lip butters, the body shower, the body creams, exfoliatings, etc. 

So many products, so many scents to play with! 

My first purchase was a body butter. A limited edition body butter in a blueberry scent. It gives my skin all the hydration that it needs for the winter time and, at the same time, it gives a fruity scent that makes me feel like a million bucks!

Then, when I decided to try again THE BODY SHOP products, I bought a dry oil. A dry oil for hair and body. I decided to buy it specially for my hair, to give some shine and life to my hair. And when I was looking for it, I found out that was a dry oil with chocolate scent! I WAS IN LOVE! When I smelled the bottle, I remember thinking:"is there a hole line with this scent?! I want it!"

So, I decided to buy the dry oil and a new body butter: everything with chocolate scent, the CHOCOMANIA LIMITED EDITION!

The CHOCOMANIA PRODUCTS can be found at any THE BODY SHOP store. The BODY BUTTER was 16 euros; the DRY OIL was 8 euros; and the SHOWER GEL was 6 euros.

These products are saving my life during this time of the year, because my skin dries so quickly and needs extra-hydration. You can buy them for yourself if you are like me, if you like to show your skin some love!

But, they can be super cute gifts for Christmas too! I love to get these kind of gifts from the people I love because they know that I love to take care of myself and be pretty :)

So, that is all for today!

We hope you love the post and stay tunned for more! Once again, we apologize for all this time without new posts, we promise: it won't happen again!

We love you guys all so much! Leave us a comment down below and follow us on facebook, twitter and instagram! Tell us your opinion, we want to hear it!
