Hello beauties!

I know that these are being hard times and definitely not the best for traveling, but we need to keep our hopes up! Hopefully in some months the situation gets better and we are allowed to travel again! Staying positive is the most important.

But in the meanwhile, let me show you some nice and affordable eyeshadow palettes that I own and that are perfect for traveling; not only because of their size – which won't take much space– but also because of the variety and versatility of colours! You will be able to create nice colourful, day & night looks without spending crazy money :) 

1. w7 Bare All & Soft Hues mini palettes

This palettes are not only affordable – they cost 2,99€ – but their quality is really good! Each one has a total of 9 shades, mattes & shimmer combined. I have the Bare All Raw and it has nice earthy-nude tones. On the other hand, I haven't tried yet the Soft hues aquamarine, I felt like I wanted to try colours that are out of my comfort zone – but I am really looking forward to test it :) 

2. Wet n Wild Coloricon palettes

Wet n Wild is one of my favourite low cost brands, and trust me, if you haven't tried this palettes you totally have to! The brand has released lots of them in different tones, but the ones I have are 'Rosé in the air' (it reminds me of the modern reinassance palette) and 'Nude awakening'. I use them a lot as the colours are super versatile: you can create nice night & day looks and the quality is amazing. Its prices vary from 5 to 7€ – they are not expensive at all, and it comes with a total of 10 shades.

3. Fenty Beauty Snap Shadows 1

This one is a bit more expensive than the ones I have showed you before (definitely not low cost), but completely worth to mention it! I got it as a birthday present this month and I L-O-V-E IT! It has a total of 6 shades: 3 mattes and 3 shimmers. I got the palette number 1, which is the one with more nude, neutral day-to-day tones. The pigmentation is amazing and I couldn't be more in love with the final result. It costs 24,99€, a bit expensive for the number of shades you get if you compare it with the rest of the palettes I've mentioned. But if you consider the quality of it and the final results, I'd say to go for it and get yourself one! (or more...) I think it's one of those make up items that are worth purchasing when they are on sale, like for black friday – specially if you want to save some €€.


Have you tried any of these eyeshadow palettes?
Do you recommend any others?
Kisses! xx

Hello beauties!

I think I've never done this kind of post in my blog, but I kind of wanted to share
with you my experience while traveling and visiting Lanzarote!

Lanzarote is one of the islands that form the Canary Islands (they belong to Spain) located off the West African coast, it is well known for its warm weather, the beaches and the most important: its volcanic landscape!
I traveled alongside my friend, we rented a car as it's the best way to visit it! We booked an air bnb in a place called 'Caleta de Famara', located in the North of the Island and known for its beach and the surf life. I absolutely loved the apartment and the village! It is surrounded by either the ocean and volcanic mountains, something completely wonderful.

The day after we arrived, we decided to keep visiting the North of the Island so we went to: Jameos del agua, Cueva de los Verde and Jardín de Cactus as its all pretty close. One of my favourite was Cueva de los Verde, as it's a volcanic cave 50m below surface. There's a guide who takes you through it and explains everything in a 50 minute route. Personally it's one of the highlights of this trip! Jameos & Jardín de Cactus was absolutely beautiful as well, you can take amazing photos!

The next day we visited the south of the island, where you can find the most important and famous volcano: The Timanfaya. We drove all the way to it and from there we parked the car and took a bus which drives you around it – this is the only way you can visit it. It was a very interesting experience! After that we decided to keep exploring the south: went to a village called Yaiza where we had lunch, and visited el Lago Verde located in El Golfo, a natural green lake surrounded by a beach with black sand! (I loved that!).

On the third day we decided to take a ferry to La Graciosa, an island which is Very close to Lanzarote. You can travel there from Orzola, a village located at the very north of the island. The only way to visit La Graciosa is by bike or walking, as it's considered a natural area. We spent the day on the beach and also had lunch in a cute restaurant. We had a lot of relaxing fun!


The last day we stayed at 'Caleta de Famara' and took a surf class in the morning. We paid for half a day which was 2.5h –and trust me, it was an amazing experience, in only that amount of time I learned how to stand up in the surf table! I loved it! The teacher was very cool and friendly, it was a nice way to meet new people as well!


When it comes to food: I think I've never eaten so much seafood in my life! I love seafood and fish, and there you can eat it as much as you want – and the best of all: It's super cheap! It also depends on the area, but what I noticed is that the more you went to the North the cheaper it was! My favourite restaurant was one called 'Amanecer' in a place called Arrieta, it was next to Jameos del Agua and Cueva de los Verde. Me and my friend ate a 'parrillada de pescado', which was a huge plate full of different type of fishes and seafood + salad. And then we ordered a typical Canarian dessert called 'polvito canario', most delicious thing you could ever try! The seafood plate was 18€ per person and it was fresh fish! Loved that place!


Hope you liked the post!
