The $1 Liquid Lipstick every makeup hoarder should own!

Hi, Lovies!! So, I got something in the mail today... and it's the Me Now Generation - II Long Lasting Waterproof Lip Gloss!! YAAAAYY!! *slowclap* I know a lot of girls are getting into liquid lipsticks these past few months. I mean why wouldn't we? it's easy to work with plus it dries matte! BUT. For some girls like me, a $25 dollar worth of lipstick + a $10 shipping fee is just too much. Until I found out about this magical angel poop made in heaven.. wait, that sounded wrong.

I know y'all are wondering.. "WTF! a Lip Gloss? Bitch I don't want a lip gloss!!!"

Calm yo tits girl. It is not a "Lip Gloss". Now I don't know why they called it that, but I can assure you, it dries up matte.

Let's start with the pros and cons of Me Now Liquid Lipsticks. This product is very pigmented, long wearing, waterproof and it will only cost you a buck! The downside is, it's really sticky, but I'll teach you a trick how to work on that (besides, liquid lipsticks are at one point sticky). Over all, I'd say it's a very good product and I'm actually obsessed with them. Proves us that we don't have to spend a lot of money to get a good product.

About the price... I know you are all questioning, "if it's a good product, then how the hell is it only 1 dollar?" I technically got mine $1.20 + free shipping. I don't know why I paid €1.70 lol (yes euros) but it's still a very cheap price for a good product. Maybe it's because of the card I've used or maybe the additional cents had something to do with the card fee or fee on something that I don't know. BUT! I found a better price for my beautiful little unicorns! ($0.99)! Here's the link

I didn't purchase all of the colours they have. I only got the ones that I like and the ones that I think will suit me. 

Lip swatches!! TENENEN. The trick I was talking about is tapping a translucent powder on top of the lipstick after it dries. This trick also works with normal lipsticks if you want them to last longer or to look matte.

Are you ready for my duck faces!

#30 brownish nude

#26 pinkish nude

Go-To Outfit of The Month! (August)

Hey! Hey! Hey! I got you all my most-worn-outfit-of-the-month! I've probably worn this more than 3 times and I'm not ashamed! Yes, I do repeat clothes or outfits. It's not a crime! But, I'll give a little tip, don't wear the same outfit with the same group of people and wear it at least 10 days apart. Anyway, This outfit is just a simple, quick and easy Go-To Outfit! I only wear this on a normal day when I do not have so much things to do. Like for example; eating at Mcdonalds, doing some grocery or just simply going to a friends' house. 

I'd usually fold the top to show off my abs. HAHAHA just kidding. I wish I had abs! but seriously, I fold it to show a little skin. I didn't do it on this post simply because I just had Lunch when these photos were taken, and as you can see, I look bloated like a pig.  Sometimes, I wear this outfit with a Leather Chunky Boots or Dr. Marten boots, specially when it's raining. 

I usually fold my top like this ⬆

Top - Bozzolo

Leggings - Calzedonia

Sneaker - H&M

Flannel - H&M

Bag - Céline

Thanks for visiting my blog! Hugs and Kisses! xx

My current skincare routine! (Combination to Oily Dehydrated Acne Prone Skin)

I'm gonna divide my skincare routine in two parts; Morning and Night Routine. *duh* hahaha anyway, Let's get into it. wooooosh!

Before you try out my skincare routine, I want you to know that my skincare may or may not work  out with your skin. I have combination to oily skin, but sometimes I get dry and flakey because of the Salicylic acid I use. I also have dehydrated and acne prone skin. I used to get cystic acne, but Thank God I have't been getting any lately. I still get a pimple or two when I get my period. Meaning, I have hormonal acne. I think acne loves me too much to leave me alone. Anyway! If you think we have the same skin type and problems, this skin routine might actually help you. 

Starting off with my Morning Routine *sounds weird but I don't know how to call it* I'm gonna number each and every step... because I want to.. haha!

1.  Wash your face with a gentle cleanser. I use Pond's Acne Clear White. If it's not available in your country, too bad for you. I'm just kidding! haha! Here are some products I use whenever I ran out of Pond's. Garnier active fresh fruit energy, Acne.org's Cleanser. DON'T dry your face with a towel! Instead, Tap it dry with a soft facial tissue. Towel may still irritate your sensitive skin. Another tip! Never leave your skin air dry longer than 30 secs.
2. This is new to my routine and I think this has been helping my dehydrated skin a lot! I have started using a Thermal Spring Water Spray for about a month now and I must say, I've never broken out since! Even with my period! Thermal Spray's calms, soothes and restores skin's natural balance, good for any skin types specially on sensitive skin.
   
   What you do is, Spray a decent amount on your face while still damp from your previous wash. I'm currently using the La Roche Posay Thermal Spray but it's almost empty. I'm planning to try the Aveene one just 'cause I've read good reviews about it. Anyway, Let it soak in a little. You can pat it dry or leave it until everything is soaked up.
3. On damp skin, Apply your favourite moisturiser, let it soak in or set. I loved the Nivea Anti-Spot Super Light Day Cream, but unfortunately I can't find it anywhere anymore here in Milan. Please message me if you know where I can get one!! Right now I'm finishing the last tube I have. Please recommend other products to me that your skin loved!
4. If I'm somewhere important in other words, I need to be dolled up, I apply Primer. I use the Benefit Porefessional. I haven't tried other primers 'cause I don't use them that often.
5. Foundation! I know some of you might ask "No SPF?". They always say SPF is a very important part of a skincare routine,  but personally, I don't like wearing one. Basically because I hate it's tacky and sticky texture, it's reflection on photos and it's heavy feeling on the face. Luckily, There are foundations and BB creams with SPF in it! YAAY! I use different foundations depending on the current weather or season. Currently, I'm mixing Make Up For Ever's Velvet Mat with Sephora's 10hr wear Perfection Foundation. Wondering why? MUFE velvet mat is very mat and cakey looking while Sephora's 10hr is more of dewy finish, you mix two together.. and BAM! you get the perfect natural looking finish, not too mat and not too dewy.
   
   I stopped using the Clinique Acne Solutions Foundation 'cause I think it's breaking me out and I don't like the coverage. I'm still looking for the perfect foundation and if you think you have one please let me know!
6. I spray a thin layer of the Thermal Spray again. Let it dry.
7. Apply powder and Bake your makeup. Not in the oven dear! If you don't know how to bake, you can skip this step and just apply powder like how you normally do or look it up on youtube!
8. I finish the rest of my makeup
9. Apply a Setting Spray and your done! Go out and Let them look at your fine face!
   
   I currently use Urban Decay's De-Slick Oil Control Setting Spray. I'm kind of in a love-hate relationship with this one. I just think that it doesn't really make a change wether I apply it or not. 

Night Routine!

1. Remove makeup with whatever makeup remover you have. I use the Garnier Clean Sensitive makeup remover, put some on a cotton pad and wipe it all over my face.
2. I wash my face with my Pond's Acne Clear White then pat it dry with a tissue.
3. I spray a Thermal Spray and let it soak for a little.
4. I apply a mix of half water and half Apple Cider Vinegar on a cotton pad and pat it on my face.
5. I put on my moisturiser on damp skin. I use the Olay Regenerist Night Cream and let it soak in a little.
6. I then apply AHA+ from Acne.org or Biretix gel. These two are both glycolic gels that peels dead skin cells, basically removing hyperpigmentation or acne scars
7. Last! I apply eye cream. I use the Sephora Age Defy Eye Cream. Gotta give them eyes some love!

Pictures below are not in order

I'm the one wearing red&black flannel. Sorry I don't have a solo picture of my face, I couldn't find my camera lens. That's also the reason I haven't been posting lately.

Thanks for reading! Hope I've helped! ♥♥♥

My Milkshake Brings All the Boys to the Yard!

Hi Lovies!! Today's post is about my all time favorite milkshake recipes! It has been really extremely hell like scorching hot here in Milan. And I honestly been gaining weight because of these yummy cold cups of heaven. Before we get into it, I would first like everyone to know that the amount of added sugar you should only eat or consume in a day is 25 grams or 6 teaspoons for women, and 37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons for men. But because I have a sweet tooth, I consume around 10 tablespoons of sugar per day. HAHAHA I was just exaggerating. 

 Let's get blending!! 

S'mores Milkshake

Ingredients:
4-6 pieces Jet Puffed Jumbo Mallows slightly burnt with a cooking torch or if you don't have one you can just microwave it. But if you really want that toasted S'more taste, you can burn mallows with an "unscented" candle. I suggest you to keep an eye on the mallows while you burn it, 'cause you don't want to burn the whole thing, you just want some burnt patches on the side. If you burn the whole mallow, it will make your milkshake bitter.
1 teaspoon Cocoa Powder or Chocolate Syrup (you can add more than a teaspoon depending on how chocolaty you want your milkshake to be)
2 cups Vanilla Ice Cream (if you live in Milan get the Esselunga ice cream in Panna)
1 cup Milk
2 tablespoons Crushed Grahams (not totally crushed) add when everything else are well blended

(I don't own this photo)

Ube Milkshake 
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons Ube Jam
2 cups Vanilla Ice Cream (if you live in Milan get the Esselunga ice cream in Panna. The best milkshake base)
1 cup Milk

or

2 cups Ube Ice Cream
1 cup Milk

(I don't own this photo)

Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshake
Ingredients:
5-7 pieces Strawberries depending on size
2 tablespoons Cream Cheese 
2 cups Vanilla Ice Cream (if you live in Milan get the Esselunga ice cream in Panna)
1 cup Milk
2 tablespoons Crushed Grahams (not totally crushed) add when everything else are well blended

(I don't own this photo)

Coconut Mango Milkshake
Ingredients:
1-2 whole Mangoes (depending on size) Do not include seed lol
2 cups Vanilla Ice Cream (if you live in Milan get the Esselunga ice cream in Panna)
1 cup Coconut Milk

(I don't own this photo)

P.S. I made these recipes myself, though I know there are loads on the internet, I prefer experimenting. I don't know how many servings will these make, 'cause I usually drink the whole thing by myself. The blender I use is Magic Bullet Blender and I use the longest cup.

Now, Enjoy your cup of Heaven! ♡♡

White Lie

I know.. I know... Why the hell am I wearing white? hahaha well, all I can say is.. people change! Deal with it. HAHA I'm just kidding ;) I don't know what got into me and I started liking white. I thought I was going "black" all day everyday for the rest of my messy life, until one day, I had a dream, and in that dream I was a white Unicorn slash Pegasus, a Pegacorn! (invented the word) flying gracefully through a pink cotton candy cloud.. and.. and.. Lol I'm just f***ing with you guys haha and PS I don't do weed. Anyway!! I kind of heard the woman in me say "My dear Ayra, you should start wearing whites. It's time to be a woman now." and so I thought, why the hell not? So yeah. That was the day I threw away all black outfits I own. Lol no way!!! There was no reason, actually. I kinda just started liking white. When I wear white, I feel like such a lady, not saying I don't feel like a lady when I wear black, but, white is just more ladylike, it makes people think that you are gentle or graceful or even clean. The downside for a clumsy hyper girl like me is, you'll get stains on you if you're not careful enough. But yeah. Still like white. UGH too much talking. blablablahhh.
