O meu aniversário - presentes, jantar à beira-mar e bolo!

High cheekbones ♥

Don't you just love those amazing strong cheeks? If you weren't blessed with beautiful prominent zygomatic bones, you can always fake them with make-up...you'll only need blush under your cheeks and a good illuminator on your cheekbone. If you already have them use the same trick to enhance them!

Quem não adora estas maçãs de rosto bem demarcadas? Se não foram abençoadas com zigomáticos proeminentes sempre podem fingi-lo com maquilhagem...é só usar o blush por baixo das bochechas e passar um bom iluminador nas maçãs de rosto. Se já as tiverem naturalmente, podem sempre utilizar o mesmo truque para evidenciá-las!

  

Childhood photos ♥

I love childhood photos so much...yesterday I found this cute picture of me. I think I was 3.

Glamour at the Olympics ♥

How many of you have dressed up like The Spice Girls, danced and sung your lungs out when you were kids? I was about 9 or 10 when they first appeared and I would always impersonate Victoria. And yes, I sang their lyrics even though I could't spell the words properly or didn't have idea of their meaning (well, you can imagine how I felt some years later, after learning english and be able to translate "Two Become One"...).

Anyway, I was delighted to watch them again in the Olympic Closing Ceremony - they where absolutely glamorous and, once again, Victoria was my favorite.

Also, I was really impressed with Jessie J vocals (I actually didn't know she could sing) and by her stunning Vivienne Westwood nude jumpsuits (mainly the first one) - it takes courage (and an amazing body, which she actually have) to wear one of those things. She was absolutely fearless!

And how wonderful was Kate Moss in this Alexander McQueen?

Stinky, dark, rainy wheater, but still, a lovely place ♥.

Long time, no see

Lots of work, crappy internet speed connection.

Get ride of my 8 year old cell phone (i'm really attached to my stuff) and got the new iPhone 4S, so it was a huge change for me...and i'm in love with it ♥. Also, I'm addicted to Instagram.

Soon I'll be making a post on BB creams. And on circle lens.

Pulling them off...!

I love 'amazonic' wild brows....and Bambi Northwood-Blyth has amazing ones!

Also, she has the cutest tattoo on her wrist.
