D.I.Y Eyeshadow primer

Desde que comecei a interessar-me mais a serio na maquilhagem, descobri algo chamado primer, que serve para fixar a maquilhagem e para que esta dure mais tempo. E comprei o " That gal " da Benefit. Gostei do resultado, dizem que também pode se usar sem base, mas quando o fiz fiquei com a cara rosada e senti que estava muito oleosa, então, misturo com base.

Ever since I gained some interest on make up, I found out this thing called primer, that its used to fix the make up, so it lasts longer. I bought " That Gal " from Benefit. I liked the result, I also read that it can be used without foundation, but when I tried my face looked pinkish and it felt quite oily, so I always use it with foundation.

Mas na minha pesquisa dos primers também vi que há para os lábios, para os olhos e para as pestanas. Para os lábios e os olhos fixa mais a cor e da maior duração da cor. Nunca experimentei nenhum desses. Mas também não tinha muito interesse, pois geralmente quando me maquilho, ponho batom de cieiro, eye liner e rimel. 

On my research on primers I also found out that there are primers for the eyes, lips and lashes. For the lips and eyes it fixes the color and it lasts for longer. I never tried any of those. Specially because I didn't had too much interest, and mostly because on my everyday make up routine I use lip balm, eye liner as mascara.

Nas minhas procuras de D.I.Y's, encontrei uma forma super fácil de fazer um primer para os olhos, e decidi experimentar. Tenho que admitir que gostei mesmo do resultado.

While looking for some D.I.Y's projects I found an easy way to do an eye shadow primer, and decided to give a try. I have to admit that I truly liked the results.

Em cima - Esquerdo sem primer, mesma quantidade que a direita - com primer
Em baixo - 2 horas depois.
On top - Left without primer, same amount as the right - with primer
Bottom - 2 hours later.

A cor 'e logo mais intensa na primeira aplicação e dura mais tempo. Não tenho que por muitas camadas. E 'e muito mais fácil de desmaquilhar em relação `a por a sombra directamente na pele.

The color its much more intense on the first application and lasts longer. And there's no need to put many "coats". Its easier to remove the make up than when I apply the shadow directly to the skin.

'E necessário
1 frasco
Base ou corrector de olheiras
Creme para o corpo ou para cara ( de preferência sem odores, se não causa irritações nos olhos )
1 palito ou uma espátula pequena



You will need
1 small container
Foundation or concealer
Body butter or face cream ( make sure that it doesn't have any scent, it might cause an irritation on your eyes )
1 spatula or toothpick.


No frasco ponha uma ou duas gotas do corrector ou base e ponha creme, e vá acrescentando o creme ate ficar uma cor próxima a sua pele.  E já esta.

On the container put one or two drops of foundation and put the butter, and if necessary, add more butter until it reaches your skin color. And you are good to go.

Ouro Sobre Azul

Geralmente quando me maquilho, faço algo relativamente simples mas que não deixe de chamar atenção, que 'e o caso de eye-liner e as megas pestanas com que ando geralmente. E para certos eventos mais requintados e se não tenho preguiça de me maquilhar, costumo fazer uma mistura de sombras em tons de castanho.

Usually when I do my make-up, I make something simple but, yet it catches every bodies eyes. Which is the case of  my eye lined eyes and my super long and voluminous lashes that I normally do. And for some fancy events, if I am not too lazy to do my make-up, I do some kind of smokey eyes with brown shades.

No geral, raramente uso sombras coloridas - como azul, rosa, verde, amarelo, laranja, etc. Mas desde que comecei com o blog decidi começar a experimentar e tenho que dizer que há algumas coisas de que gosto e que ate era capaz de ir assim a certos eventos.

Normally I don't wear bright colors eye shadows - such as blue, pink, green, yellow, orange and what so ever. But ever since I started the blog I decided to try out more colors,and I could actually go out like that.

Quando comecei com o blog, o primeiro post era este este ( Pink & Gold ). E o rosa não 'e uma cor de que goste muito na minha maquilhagem, contudo não deixei de gostar do resultado.

When this blog started, my first post was this ( Pink & Gold ) make up. Pink its not a color that attracts me on make up, but I was happy with the results.

Ha uns dias, enquanto estava a procura de tutoriais de coisas para fazer no We♥it encontrei esta maquilhagem magnifica. Visto que tem o tutorial, decidi experimentar. Ate porque esta 'e uma combinação de que gosto - Ouro sobre azul.

A few days ago, while looking for some tutorials on  We♥it I found this marvelous make up. Since it had the tutorial, I decided to try. Specially because is a combination that I do like - Gold and blue

Para criar isto usei :
Corrector - Erase Paste ( Benefit )
Sombra dourada - Naked palete - Half-Baked
Sombra castanha - Naked palete - Hustle
Palete 96 cores - Azul claro
Lápis preto.
Eye liner preto - M.A.C
Rimel ( Maybelline e Benefit )


I used
Concealer - Erase Paste ( Benefit )
Gold Eye shadow - Naked palette - Half Baked
Brown Eye shadow - Naked palette - Hustle
96 Colors palette - Light blue
Black eye khol
Black eye liner - M.A.C
Mascara ( Maybelline & Benefit )


Primeiro
Limpei a pele, dei um jeito as sobrancelhas e pus o corrector.

First

Second

I found it very simple, and its great because you can actually change the colors according to your outfit or whatever you feel like.

Boa sorte ;)

Bolo de Bolacha - Biscuit Cake

Ha uma sobremesa que não resisto seja qual for a festa, e 'e o Bolo de Bolacha. Ja desde pequena adoro, mas nunca o tinha feito ate ontem, independentemente de ser facílimo. 

The dessert that I always eat at parties no matter what is Biscuit Cake. I love this cake since a kid, and despite being easy to be made, I have never made it until yesterday.

A receita 'e mesmo simples, e não sei porque 'e que nunca a tinha feito antes. 

Its very simple, and I really don't know why I have never made it before.
So 'e preciso :
2 Pacotes de Bolacha Maria
250 g de Manteiga
1 Chávena de chá de açúcar em pó
3 Gemas
O equivalente a 4 expressos de café.



You will need:
2 Packets of tea biscuits ( Bolacha Maria )
250 g of butter
1 Cup of icing sugar
3 Egg yolks
4 Expressos.

Primeiro : Bate-se a manteiga, ligeiramente amolecida, ate ficar com uma cor mais clara.
Segundo : Adiciona-se o açúcar, e continue a bater.
Terceiro : Adicione as gemas, e continue a bater ate ficar uma massa homogénea.



First : Beat the butter, until it reaches a lighter color.
Second : Add the sugar and keep on mixing.
Third : Add the egg yolks and keep on mixing it until its all mixed together.

Enquanto esta no processo de bater o creme, faca o cafe.  E deixe arrefecer um bocado. Ponha açúcar no café.

While doing this cream, make the coffee. And let it cool down a bit and put sugar on it.

De seguida, molhe as bolachas no café e ponha-as em forma de circulo, com uma bolacha no meio, e por cima ponha o creme de manteiga - que serve de "cimento" -, ponha outra camada de bolachas e o creme por cima, e assim o faca ate acabar as bolachas. E cubra o bolo com o resto do creme. Em cima e dos lados

Next, wet the biscuits into the coffee and place them in a circle shape, with one of the biscuits in the middle, put the cream on top - it works as "cement " -, put another layer of biscuits and the cream, and keep on doing it until you finish all the biscuits. Cover the cake with the cream mixture. On top and on the sides.

Caso tenha algumas bolachas partidas, esmigalhe-as e ponha por cima do bolo.


If you have some broken biscuits, crumble them and put on top of the cake.

Leve ao frigorífico por 1 hora e meia.

Put on the fridge for 1 hour and a half.

E depois 'e só servir.

Serve it cool

Obrigada e espero que goste ;)

Thank you and hope you enjoy it ;

Aqui esta a receita | Here's the recipe

Cat eyes for dummies ;)

Uma maquilhagem que eu realmente adoro e acho sensual e ao mesmo tempo aceitável para o dia-a-dia 'e Cat Eyes. 'E um bocado de dor de cabeça para fazer, mas 'e super fácil  No inicio tinha algumas dificuldades, mas depois fui ganhando pratica e agora faço o num instantinho. E a uns tempos encontrei uma maneira mesmo simples de fazer, e gostaria eu de ter encontrando quando descobri as maravilhas do eye-liner.  

If there is a make-up style that I really love and think its sexy at the same time and acceptable for a normal day, its Cat Eyes. Its quite a headache to do it when you don't know how to, but with time or experience you realize how easy it is.  At the beggining I had a had time with it, mas then I got experience and now I do it in 2 minutes. Some time ago I found out a easy way to do it, and I wish I had knew it before, when I found out the eye-liner.


'E necessário fita-cola, eye liner e rimel. A base e o corrector 'e opcional. 

You'll need tape, eye-liner and mascara. The foundation and concealer part its optional.

1. Primeiro limpa-se a pele, e se quiser ponha corrector e base.

1. First clean and prepare your skin, and if you want to, conceal what you need and put your foundation.

2. De seguida, corte 2 pedaços de fita-cola e ponha nos cantos dos olhos em direcao as suas sobrancelhas.

 2. Cut the small pieces of tape, and stick them on the outter corner of yours eyes.

3. Faca a sua linha, pode ser grossa ou fina, como quiser. Pode cobrir o olho todo ou so 3/4.

3. Line your eye, it can be a thin or thick line. You choose. It can cover the whole eye or just 3/4.

4. Continue a sua linha traçando mesmo rente a fita-cola, de forma a fazer uma especie de trianguluzinho pequenininho de acordo com a grossura da sua linha. Deixe secar  um bocadinho e tire a fita-cola. Se for necessario, corrija alguns erros que possa ter e tambem a base

4.Continue your line very close to the tape, and make a little triangle, according to the thickness of your line. Let it dry and remove the tape. If necessary, fix the mistakes and in need put on foundation to the places that the tape might have it removed.

5.Passe uma boa camada de rimel. 

5.Put on some mascara, making tou lashes look as good as you desire.

Pode contrastar com um batom forte ou um batom claro. O que achar mais adequado para o evento que for.

You can wear it with a bold lipstick or with a light one, as you wish. And whats more apropriate to the place you're going to .

Boa sorte ;)

Good luck ;)

Daughter - Smother

Very calm song, perfect for a rainy day or when you just need to think or be relaxed. Really fancing it.

Tiago Iorc - Its a fluke.

This is a brazialian guy, with one of the prettiest songs EVER! From the very first I heard it, it got stuck in my head and I just can't seem not to sing it everyday. Its quite a romantic song, very calm, with the piano in the back, and soft voice, singing it with some calm. Its adorable. 

Dillon - Thirteen Thirtyfive.

This song makes me think about the fifties, though I believe it has nothing to do with the fifties songs style. Its calm, but at the same time has a good rythm, that will make you glance your body according to the melody. I love the fact that the voice is a little bit hoarsely and the finger snapping. 

BOY - Skin

Enjoyed the guittar at the beggining, and the way her voice goes with the melody. Its that kind of song to relax, or for a long ride just to forget your thoughts. 

Youth - Daughters

This song its just perfect. I seriously can't describe it. Her voice is so soft and gentle, and the melody its quite calm in the beggining, and it increases it velocity as the music goes. Her voice kinda reminds me of Florence, from Florence and the Machine.

Bon Iver - Skinny Love

I've known this song for over an year, and from the very first moment I heard it, I was simply in love with it. Its so pretty, but sad, because they are stuck in that tough situation, called Skinny Love. There's another version of this song by Birdy. I don't like it that much, because of her high notes, or maybe because I found this version first and like it a lot. But I do advice both of them.

Jason Mraz - I won't give up.

Personally, I don't like Jason Mraz, but when I heard this song, because the music is very soft, it made me appreciate it. I really liked the lyrics on this song, its very very pretty, and his voice just made everything better. 

Passenger - Let her go ( Cover, by Beth )

From the very first moment I heard " Let her go " I was in love with the song, and I over-heard it. So, I reached the point that I was sick of it, but because I truly love the lyrics and the meaning of the song, I looked for some covers, and this girl. Oh my god. This girl, she has such a perfect voice and made me fall for this song again. Its very beautiful and above all, she make it even better. 

Frank Ocean - Thinkin bout you

I don't know much about Frank Ocean, but this song just got stuck in my head, and I couldn't stop thinking how pretty is it. I really like it. Its so gentle, and meaningfull and I do apreciate the fact that his voice is quite smoth and that he can reach a few high points.

Lorde - Tennis Court.

I found out this song yesterday, and I am just in love with it. I love the rythm, that it starts slow, and then it gets a little bit more " shaky " . The beggining reminds me of Born to die - Lana del Rey. But its something completly different. The songs its amazing. And I was astonished with the fact that she is one year younger than me, and already has a song that its a Hit - Royals - Lorde.

Ola :)

Durante esta ultima semana estive super atarefada e nem no fim de semana tive algum descanco, o que impediu-me de actualiza o blog.


Hello :)

During the previous week I was really busy and didn't even had time on the weekend to post anything here.


Ultimamente tenho andado a procura de produtos mais naturais para usar no meu corpo. E encontrei 2 coisas fantasticas. Um esfoliante e um desmaquilhante. Sem razoes alguma de queixa :D 


Lately, I've been looking for more natural body products. And I found 2 amazing products. A body scrub and a make-up remover. Had no reason to complain, which is great ! :D


Há uns tempos atrás  comprei uma frasco de acetona da Sephora, que diferencia-se dos outros tipos de acetona à que estava habituada. Este era de enfiar o dedo, mexer um bocado e voile! So, que, infelizmente a acetona acabou, e durante 1 ano andei a pensar como 'e que poderia recriar aquele frasco. E ha umas semanas, encontrei um tutorial no youtube, e decidi fazer.



Couple years ago, I bought this nail polish remover on Sephora, which is different than the others I was using previously. This one, was to stick the finger,move a little bit and voile. But, unfortunately it fineshed, and during a year I have been thinking if I could do that specific nail polish remover. And couple weeks ago, I found a tutorial on youtube, and I decided to give it a try.

'E um processo muito simples. 'E necessário : 1 frasco ( usei um de comida de bebe )
1 Frasco de acetona
2 Esponjas
1 Tesoura


Its very simple. You'll need: 1 jar ( I used a baby food jar )
1 Nail polish bottle
2 sponges
1 scissor

Caso esteja a usar uma esponja com a parte verde em cima, separe a esponja da parte verde. Corte as esponjas à metade. Ponha uma das metades no fundo do frasco. E pegue nas 2 outras metades e ponha dobrado dentro do frasco, certifique-se que há espaço para por o seu dedo. Por ultimo, deite a acetona e feche o frasco. - para não evaporar. Esta pronto à usar.






In case you're using a sponge with that green part on top, separate. Cut both of the sponges in half. Put one of the halves on te bottom of the jar. And bend the other 2 pieces of sponge and put on each side of the jar, making sure there is space to stick your finger. Last, but not least, pour in the nail polish remover and close the jar - so it won't evaporte. And its ready to use.



E também  a procura de projectos de D.I.Y, há cerca de um mês e meio, encontrei um tutorial de um desmaquilhante D.I.Y. 'E muito simples de se fazer e o resultado 'e fantástico. 
1 frasco - pode ser um de compota, ou um mais comprido. Usei um de piri-piri ( LAVEI COM MUITO CUIDADO E ATENÇÃO )
2 Dedos de Champô de bebe ( 1 Colher de Sopa. )
1 Dedo de Óleo de bebe ou azeite de oliveira ( 1 colher de Sobremesa )
Agua, q.b

And while looking for some D.I.Y, about a month ago, and I found a D.I.Y make up remover. Its also very easy to make and the result its just great.
1 jar or bottle - it can be a jam container ( I used a chilli one - WASHED VERY CAREFULLY AND WITH LOADS OF ATTENTION )
2 fingers of baby shampoo ( 1 Tbl spoon )
1 finger of baby oil or Olive oil ( 1 dessert spoon )
Water.



Deite o champô para o seu frasco, ponha o oleo ou azeite de seguida, com muito cuidado, encha de agua ate ao fim. Agite um bocado, e agite sempre antes de usar.

Pour the shampoo to the container, add the oil and carefully, fill it with water. Shake a little bit and before use.


Em momento algum queixei-me do resultado. E graças ao óleo de bebe, tem um aroma agradável e remove devidamente o rimel.

Do lado esquerodo, depois de tirar a maquiagem com este demaquaiante | On the left after removing my make-up with this make-up remover

I never had any reasons to complain on the result. And thanks to the baby oil, it has a very nice smell and removes my mascara properly.

E por ultimo, o esfoliante. Ainda procura de produtos naturais para o corpo,  encontrei este esfoliante fantastico. Anteriormente, usava uma da Body Shop, e quando acabou, passeia usar acucar e gel de banho para esfoliar, mas nao atingia um resultado completamente satisfatorio. Ate que encontrei este. Tambem 'e muito simples de fazer e o material esta quase todo em casa.


1 frasco a sua escolha ( de preferencia, que permita que a sua mao entre )
2 Chavenas de acucar.
3/4 de Chaveva de Oleo ou Azeite
Sumo de meio limao ou lima
1/2 meia colher de cha Corante cor de rosa ou vermelho ( opcional )



And the last thing I did, its the body scrub. While still looking for natural body products, I found this amazing body scrub. Previously, I used a Body Shop body scrub, and when it finished, I started mixing my shower gel with sugar - which also worked on me, though it could be better. And I found this one. Its also very easy to do, and most of the supplies you might find it at home.


1 Jar ( chose one that can you can fit your hand in )
2 Cups of sugar.
3/4 of a cup with olive oil or Oil.
Juice of half a lemon or lime.
1/2 tea spoon with food colorant pink or red ( optional )

Misture o açúcar e o óleo  Adicione o sumo de limão e se quiser, ponha o corante. Preste atenção à quantidade, pois não quererá ficar com a pela rosada ou avermelhada.

Mix the sugar and oil. Add the lemon juice, and if you want to, add the colorant. Caution on the quantity, I bet you do not want to look pinkish or red.


Leve para o banho consigo, use-o no seu corpo, e não se esqueça de passar por agua e gel ou sabonete, após o seu uso.

Take it with you to the shower, and use it on your body, e don't forget to wash it off.

Se quiser, pode fazer o esfoliante e oferecer como uma prenda às suas amigas, e tambem pode alterar as cores do corante e adicionar alguma essencia, como laranja, banana, ananás, limão, menta ou o que quiser.

If you want, you can do the body scrub as a gift for your friends, and you can also change the colors and add some essence, like orange, banana, mint, lemon, pinneapple or whatever you want.


Obrigada, e ate a proxima. :D

Thank you, and until the next time ;)
