Snow in Madrid

February began with this magical scene.

If you live in a country where it usualy snows during all winter, this may sound stupid to you. But when you live in a city where rarely snows (pollution, not cold enough, etc.) and only every few years the snow congeals enough to actually enjoy it, it feels like your dreams have come true!

In the last photo you can see a very frozen me not prepared at all for a snow day because it all began snowing randomly around 9 or 10 am and I was already in class.

Primark underwear

I know it's not what you are used to, but I decided like yesterday 8th of March was International Women's Day I'll do it beacuse we are so use to see half naked men (and I'm not complaining, belive me!) but it's not right to show just simple underwear? I don't think so.

Last week I went to Primark becase I needed a few things and bought some underwear too (I'm a student so don't look at me if I can't pay for expensive ones) bacause they are cute and cheap.

Rocky monochrome style

I'm In these early and rainy spring days I've found a really comfy and rocky look.

My last leather jacket was not a real leather one and after five years it died. So I decided to to invest in a proper one that's going to last me for a lot of years. This was is from Zara and it was 89€, I know it's expensive but its purpose it's to last and last. 

Those leather boots I already wore it in Winter outfit post but I'm in love with them and I wore them a lot, sorry. 

I bought that vertical b&w striped blouse recently in Okeisy for 12€ after a lot of time searching for one. 

I call those trousers jeggings because they look like jeans but its material it's a leggings one. The are so comfy but they fall a bit so that's why I'm wearing that leather belt which someone gave me five or six years ago from Zara also. 

And that cherry necklace is from Swarovski and it was a christmas present from my parents.

My winter hat collection

With the cold, rain and grey days I don't know if I'm the only one, but I feel with no enery and motivation at all to work on my hair and it's perfect for beanie/hat days. And they also keep you warm and cosy!

I bought none of these because they are all gifts so I have no idea where they exactly are from but I'm sure there are a lot of different places where they sell something quite similar.

Winter outfit

Sometimes those grey, rainy and cold days put our moods down and make us don't want to put too much effort on how we look, but I've found this simple outfit perfect for those moments. 

This outfit is not showy at all and that's why I like it because I'm shy when it's come to clothes and I don't like to highlight over everybody else. The focus is the skirt and I chose everything around it. I also wanted the hat and the tights to match so it'll look like there's a continuity.

It's a very comfortable outfit so is very wearable to go out with friends, to go to school/college/university, to take a walk, etc.

Nothing is new or from this year so I can't help you to find exactly the cloth I'm wearing (the jumper has 3/4 years, the skirt 2/3 years, the boots 1 year and the hat 3/4 months), but as you can see they all are stable things that will be able to wear even in five or aix years, so I'm sure you'll find something really similar anywhere. 

Outfit:

- Skirt: Blanco

- Jumper: Zara

- Boots: H&M

- Hat/Fedora: El Corte Ingles

Skeleton make up - Halloween 2015

As you all know halloween is next weekend and me and some of my friends have decided to do a halloween home party dresing us up and all of that stuff. I didn't want to spend too much money in a costume which I'm only going to use once so I went for a skeleton. I wanted to do only half of my face and then a full-on black outfit but first I wanted to try the make up to know what to do on saturday (so instead of take an hour and a half while I listen music and sing along, I can be done in less than an hour).

I watched first some youtube videos to inspire me and these ones were the ones which helped me:
- Skeleton make up #1
- Skeleton make up #2
- Skeleton make up #3

And here you have final result:

Sorry I all the pictures are taken in the bathroom but I was sitting on the flor in front of a big mirror with great light.

I you liked it and want to know how to do that look, continue reading.

____________________ " ____________________

You will need:

- Face paint in black, white and red colour (whatever you find, don't worry)

- A cheap eye pencil (this was 1€ and it's even waterproof)

- Different makeup brushes

- Black, white and dark brown eyeshadows 

Let's begin the make up! 

First you take the red paint color and surround the half face you decide to be the skeleton.

Second you make the black lines around your eye, nose, cheek bone and jaw with firstly the eye pencil and then you fill them with the black face paint, but be careful around your eye because if you are like me and wear lenses you don't want anything at all to go inside your eye.

Third you fill everything inside the red mark wich is not black with the white face paint. And insists as much as you need till you hace a very white base.

Fourth with a fluffy brush (the second on the right in the picture above) you put white eyeshadow where is white and then with the same brush you put black eyeshadow on the eye, cheek bone, jaw bone and over the red line where the hair begins so that part have a bit of redness and looks more realistic. Then with a smaller but still fluffy brush (the first on the right and the second on the left) you do the same with the smaller lines. But also don't forget to blur the middle-face red line so it's not that harsh with a flat brush (the one in the middle).

Fifth with the black face paint and a small and thin brush (the first on the left) you make small details as those around the eye and above  the lips. And we go back to the eyeshadows! You put the dark brown one around every black line which is limiting with white you have and blend it, but then with a bit of black you repeat the action so it's not so strong the difference 

And finally you do the other half of your face as you want it. I went for a black smocky eye and full-on red lipstick, but as I said you decide and I'm sure it will look amazing.

And a surprise! A video of me showing you the make up being me (because I don't know how to describe that lol) and singing (I told you before)
