CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAS FOR THE BEAUTY LOVER NEAR YOU!

Yes! We can smell it in the air: is Christmas time! A time to enjoy with family and friends, and also to gift nice things to people that we love. This is why if you have a beauty lover near you to make he/she happy at this time of the year, continue reading!

As always, I wanted to create ideas for all pockets, so I created multiple and good quality options with different brands, and prices, taking the photographs as a reference.

PERFUME.

Actually, I never ever meet a person who does not love fragrances, never! Maybe the personal tastes can be different (like people that love strong fragrances, or soft fragrances, etc). In my case, I never gift strong fragrances, I always go for lightweight and long-lasting aromas: in woman case, I prefer floral or oriental fragrances; in man cases: I always go for fresh, clean, citric or sea breeze long-lasting fragrances.

EYESHADOW PALETTE.

If you don´t know he or her personality and tastes, a secure idea is go for a neutral palette, that combines mattes and shimmers. My favorites ones are: Blushed nudes and The Nudes by Maybelline, Naked 3 by Urban Decay, Lolita by KVD, All night long by Sleek, and Chocolate Smores by I hearth Revolution.

BLUSHES.

Always go for satin blushes! why? They suits in everybody, even in oily skin people. They give life to cheekbones, not shiny but not matt, velvet colors always. In the other hand, they don´t accentuate wrinkles, creating a smooth velvety look. My favorites ones are by Sleek.

LIPSTICK.

Classic red, chic timeless mauve, and bold fuchsia lip color. Even if this last lip color is more for spring and summer time, it suits perfect in winter if you choose one with blue undertone. My color guide are: Pure red and Eucaliptus by NYX; Milano red long-lasting 11 by Deborah Milano; Serafine by Anastasia Beverly Hills; and Exotic by NYX.

FACE POWDERS.

To gift this, you need to know the skin type of that person. As I have a combination to oily skin, my favorites face powders are: Mineral face powder and HD studio photogenic by NYX; Multitasker face powder by Milani; Blot face powder by MAC.

FAVORITES FRAGRANCES AT THE MOMENT: LONG-LASTING & AFFORDABLE.

First of all, welcome to the officially first post of this blog. This idea to have a personal blog where I can share with people around the world things that I love and hate about beauty industry as skincare, makeup…, have been running in my head for so long, not really knowing at all how to start properly with this, so I fell so many times, but now, I think that finally I found my own style, and now I only need to work more on it. So….let´s start!

***********

In a few days we will be officially in Christmas time, so I think that is the perfect moment to write about my actual favorites afforable fragrances.

Personally when it comes about fragrances, my favorites one are those with florals, citric, oriental, or fruity notes! I can´t say that I hate woods in perfumes (at all), but is pretty difficult to me find a nice formulation that make me change my mind.From daily fragrances, to special occasions, even if I am a vanity beauty lover/junkie, I´m that type of person who think that you don´t need to break your bank account to feel good, and smell good for hours….if you choose good. This is why, I want to share with you my affordable options!

LA CABOTINE, BY GRÉS (PARIS).

I discovered this eau de cologne at Primor, a shop where you can buy makeup, skincare products, even scented candles! They always have offers, so I decided to try two of them, and I´m so in love with both of them, specially with the gold one. They smell really good, and the packaging are the cutest!

• The gold one, is a fragrance from the oriental floral family for womens, whose notes are: tangerine, pink pepper, melon, jasmine, Tiare flower, peony, vetiver, patchouli, and amber.

• The Fleur Splendide, is a fragrance from the Cyprus floral family for womens, and the smell behind this creation is Mylene Alran, a young perfumer from the southeast of France. The notes of this one are: bergamot, freesia, white peach, rose, jasmine, sandalwood, patchouli, amber, and musk.

FAR AWAY, BY AVON.

In the other hand, as some friends of my mother sell this international and well knowed brand particularly famous by their perfumes, and lipsticks, I decided to try two perfumes, and I don't regret the discovery: two long-lasting perfumes with lovely sweet notes, that last for days in clothes! They are: Far away infinity, and Far away glamour, even if I love them soo much, my favorites one is the first one (blue packaging). The container of both are elegant and simple.

• Far away infinity, the smell behind this fruity floral family fragrance is Honorine Blanc, a Lebanese perfumer, that with 16 years old went to live in France, the notes of this perfume are: gardenia, bergamot, calendula, sambac jasmine, jasmine, orange blossom of the orange tree, vanilla, sandalwood, and patchouli.

• Far away glamour, created by Jean Marc Chaillan, Veronica Casanova, and Mackenzie Reilly, the notes of this perfume are: black currants, grapefruit, pink pepper, Madagascar vanilla, lily root, orange blossoms of the orange tree, patchouli, black musk.
