Some bits

Hey guys!
I just have a couple of haul posts for anyone who loves them.
During some of my walks in the city centre, I stopped by some beauty stores (makeup obsessed argh!) and got just a few bits.

 

 The first thing I got is a rectangular semi-rigid beauty case, it's plasticky black and its inside is covered with white hearts. It also has a goldy heart-shaped charm at the end of the zip. It's super cute, it was love at first sight!

 
 
The second thing I got is this pack of squared cotton pads to take off my makeup with. When I have a whole face of makeup I prefer to use bigger cotton pads like these because it's easier and faster to remove my makeup.
 
 
 
Then I decided to try this purifying sebum-balancing mask (I finished my Lush one), it's from the brand Basic Beauty, never heard of it. It says "purifies and minimizes the pores refreshing the face" and it contains white clay and baobab leaves.
I have very sensitive oily skin, so I'm always on the market to try out new products. I used to do a face-scrub mask with Lush "Mask of Magnaminty" once a week, it leaves my skin a bit smoother but I'm not totally satisfied with it. I prefer "Herbalism" solid soap (always from Lush) that I use every night to clean my face with before going to bed, it seems to control a bit more the hideous shine I get on my forehead, on my nose and on my chin.
 
 
 
Then I got the Miracle Complexion Sponge by Real Technique. I've heard amazing things about it so I decided to give it a try. The flat top is meant to contour, the rounded surface to blend and the pointy end is supposed to conceal.........hope it's good. I know of others who quit using brushes for beauty sponges. Anyway I'm pretty curious to see how it works on my skin.
 
 
The last things are these two shampoo and conditioner from Garnier. I love the Ultra Sweet line, this time I got the ones with argan and camelia oils for dry and dull hair. They smell amazing. I have curly hair so it is very dry on its own, and since I started to ombrée it, it got even drier. Although I had a haircut (three months ago) to get rid of all the blond in my head, I would like to have my hair smoother and argan oil works really well in doing this.
 
So, that's it for now!
I will write the second part of this haul in the next post, which is going to be entirely makeup related.
Hugs, Kisses & Cookies,
Love, Anna.

Shoes & Bags

Image
A couple of months ago I got a pair of shoes and two bags. I normally tend to substitute my old shoes for new ones when they are too old, I don't wear them anymore, or they are completely "destroyed".   Here they are! I think they're super cool, they are grey with a colored pattern on the back. They're pretty simple but I like them. Then I got two bags.   The first one is this black and white handbag with no shoulder strap. I think it's simple but classy.     And then I got this super cute flowery bag with a chain shoulder strap. Love it! They're not big bags at all, they're pretty small, you can't put whatever you want in it, but I'll use them for going out at night I think.   That's it for now!    Hugs, Kisses & Cookies, Love, Anna.

Ballerinas and little black bag

Image
Hey guys, I have another post about shoes and bags. Last month I got this super cute little black purse: It is a rigid one, it has a golden removable chain, in fact I can keep it in my hands by sticking my fingers into the thing that's on top (it looks like a little bow) that has two holes in it. It is small but I really love it. I think it is pretty elegant, I've already used it, even to a wedding! Then I got these new pair of flats They're super cute and super springy/summery. They're blue with tiny holes on them. That's the end of the short post! Until the next time, have a happy summer! Hugs, Kisses & Cookies, Love, Anna.

Wine & Food Tasting

Image
Recently, I've been to a wine and food tasting with some friends. We drove for about 45 minutes heading to Bergamo to arrive at the restaurant where everything took place. The location was evocative due to the wintry landscape, the restaurant was surrounded by bare trees and there was also a little lake with a little fountain in the middle of it, and a mini jetty (I wondered who ever tried to sail that tiny body of water!).  The place was on a rise, the tiny street we walked through was full of greenery and other plants that would probably blossom in spring. I bet that place must be amazing during spring and summer because they organise wedding there too, so I tried to imagine everything was floral.     who has the courage to get on that old boat?     First they took us on a wine cellar tour, and told the story of their family that produces wine since ages, and how they make it. Then, once we were all sat down in the hall, they served us five different types of win
