As you might already realized, given the fact that I'm writhing this blog, I am a makeup and beauty lover. That's why, as I am growing and making friendships for life, I find myself surrounded by people who understand me and sometimes, just sometimes, have the same amount of love for makeup as me. 
Therefore, a couple days ago I went on a makeup hunt with one of my dearest friends (Cris) and I gotta say, makeup wise, she knows what she talks about. So, when she asked me if I wanted to go on a makeup hunt with her, which included a visit to a brand new makeup store that opened recently here on my city, I didn't need to think twice!

After visiting a couple stores like KIKO, H&M, FLOMAR and others (but tbh my day started earlier with a trip to mall and consequently to the PRIMARK) which resulted in some makeup and beauty purchases, we finally went to the new makeup store...the WYCON cosmetics (http://www.wyconcosmetics.com) store.
I didn't really know what to expect so when I entered and started seeing the products and their prices I gotta say, they did a great job. Among the really appealing products I found the soft mousse eyeshadows...well, my heart at that point was stolen...the range was amazingly filled with beautiful metallic colors. I decided to bringt home the 16 Dark Bronze...this product is so good...it's so pigmented, so easy and creamy to apply and to blend and, once it's dry it lasts FOREVER on fleck!

So, since the summer it's coming to a end (and I'm not even a little bit sad...I'm autmn kinda girl) it's time to bring your dark makeup out to the world and believe me when I say that a dark bronze eye it's an essential for the months to come however, in my opinion, it looks good all year around!

There is something, at this point, you don't know about me...I just truly deeply enjoy spending time with my family. Even a random trip to the mall with my grandma can sure be fun...who doesn't like some shopping time with the family? 

So, that's exactly why, last week, me and my grandma decided to go to the mall just to see what the stores had new this time (and to do some typical grocery shopping as well). As we slowly look through the windows of the various stores, something caught my attention....a "up to 70%" sales sign on the flormar store. As might be expected I could not stop myself from get in the store to see what they had to give. Many products seemed great but my eyes were almost immediately straight to the lipsticks...and when I saw the matte ones I just lost it (not literally of course). The color range was beautiful but I am a dark colors or nudes kinda girl. 

Therefore, when I saw the Berry Smothie 203 and  how beautiful the color is, how pigmented it is and how smooth and creamy to apply it is I just fell over heels and took my new baby home! Oh and it was in sales, just for 3€!!! (Thank you flormar) As you can see by the pictures and the name, it is such a gorgeous dark berry tone, perfect to rock on the autumn and winter time....or if you are like me, all year around!

A few days passed and as I was waiting for the time to go into the movie theater (to watch Suicide Squad) I could not resist going to the flormar store right next to the movie theater and take another of this amazing matte long-lasting (not overly long-lasting but for the price they are incredible) and SO affordable lipsticks home with me. This time I've chosen the Red Terracotta 208, it is a stunning burned orange perfect for any occasion and time year....but I'm certainly will wear the crap out of this one on the autumnal months!
