Favorite YouTube Channels

Hello everyone! Even though I'm currently on a school break I've been really busy studying for my exams, which will be in mid-June; on top of that it's raining again so I didn't get the chance to do the OOTD I was planning on. Nevertheless I hope you still enjoy this quick post!

I'll be telling you my favorite five beauty related channels, starting from the one with less subscribers.

ABBEY EGELAND

Abbey's tutorials and videos are usually vintage inspired and that's something I'm always glad to see.
I also follow her on Instagram and on her blog Life in Red Lipstick.

EMMA CERVIN

The first video that I saw was in 2013 and even though I don't like her videos as much these days, they're still one of my favorites because she uses a lot of drugstore products and I always enjoy when people prove that the cheaper options work just as well.

I also follow her on Instagram.

ASHLEY

I've mentioned my love for Ashley's looks on my Top 3 Instagram Make Up Inspiration post. Just like Abbey there's a lot of vintage inspiration, but this time with a darker twist. Just how I like it.
I also follow her on Instagram and on her blog Hollywood Noir Makeup.

MANNY GUTIERREZ

The first time I heard of Manny was through my friend Mariana. She showed me his Instagram account and I think he didn't even make videos for YouTube at the time. He's really funny and very talented.
I also follow him on Instagram.

NIKKIE

Her tutorials are completly amazing. To me, she's one of the most skillful makeup artists I've ever seen. It was pretty hard to choose one of her videos but this is one that I like quite a lot.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Until next time!

LOTS OF LOVE,

Perfume Favorites

Long time no see! I hope you're all doing fine. I think I've never seen one of these so I thought it'd be fun for me to do a favorites posts focusing on perfumes. Hopefully you find this idea as fun as I do.

Moon was given to me by my friend Mariana on my 17th birthday. Clearly, she knows me very well because this La Rive perfume is described as "a seductive mixture of sophisticated floral aroma with sensual woody notes". Most of the scents that I like have moss, wood and/or musk as base notes and this one balances that perfectly with the floral (heart) and fruity (head) notes. This is currently my everyday perfume,

Vanille Noire by Yves Rocher is one of my favorite scents ever. I'm not even close to exaggeration. Sweet yet dark. Whenever I wear this I feel like the protagonist of some old movie. I've finished a 50ml bottle, I'm now using a small sample size.

Lolita Lempicka's signature eau de parfum was a gift from my grandmother. What's not to love about this. The brand's name's combines Lolita, the name of the main character in Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita (one of my favorite books) with Tamara De Lempicka's (an amazing Art Deco artist) surname and the scent is heavenly. Sweet without being overbearing and slightly spicy and woody.

The Framboise - Agriculture Bio eau de toilette by Yves Rocher is my last pick. This is the first perfume I've ever wore by choice so I had to include it in this short list. I personally think that I won't be buying it anymore; not because it's a bad perfume but because I don't enjoy fruity scents as much as I used to. If you're looking for something sweet but not too noticeable you might like this one.

I've noticed that my choices almost always incline toward night time and Fall/Winter type of parfums.

In the 1950s it was common to say that your choice of perfume says a lot about yourself and after checking what my favorite type of scent meant I couldn't help but to smile because "old soul" and "probably a Scorpio" are stated and both are true.

That's it for today's post. I hope you liked it! Before saying my goodbyes I'd like to tell you that I'm planning a series of looks for myself since I won't be joining Anna's wonderful adventure with the elements.

LOTS OF LOVE,

Tânia
