Travel Diaries: Venice

This summer I was lucky enough to make a few trips around Europe, and one of them was to Venice. I love Venice. It's a beautiful city, and it just has a special charm. And it has pizza!  We were extra lucky and had the best weather possible, which made me enjoy my trip even more. When I travel, I love to share the photos on my blog, so here we go!

Central Perks

Before any of you tell me it's Central Perk, with no s, let me tell you I'm actually writing about Central Perks, a cafe in Toledo (Spain) that recreates Friends cafe Central Perk. I don't think anyone will be surprised if I say I love the show Friends. In fact, I think it's the best TV show ever made. So when I found out there was a cafe like this in Spain, I knew I had to go! And I finally did!

New York Diary - Pt III

Two weeks ago, my dad ran the NYC marathon and me and my family went on vacation there. I've been sharing my trip with you in my posts: New York Diary Pt I and Pt II. Today is time to see the last (and to be honest, the one with my favorite photos) part of it.

New York Diary - Pt II

As you may have read in my New York Diary - Pt I, ten days ago, my dad ran the NYC marathon and my family and I went on vacation there. I want to tell you all about it, but since it's too much for a single post, I'm doing it in three parts. And this is the second part of my trip to the city of my dreams.

New York Diary - Pt I

Last week, my dad ran the NYC marathon so we made a family vacation out of it to my favorite place in the entire world! New York was more beautiful than I'd ever seen it. And I absolutely loved every minute of my trip. I have a lot of photos and I wish I could show you all, but that would be too many so I've selected my favorites instead. However, they're still too many so I'll be showing you in three parts.

What's in my travel bag

As you may have noticed I travelled quite a lot this year. And, I actually love packing and preparing everything for each flight. Even my travel bag! So today I wanted to share with you what I need to take with me to make the entire flying experience as perfect as possible.

Fun times, busy times

This week was full of exciting activities (and, unfortunately, also some sweet and sour moments) but overall, it left some pretty amazing memories that I wanted to share with you!

Visiting Poland

Last week I went on a trip to Poland with my friends. I was actually a bit sceptical about this trip since we were travelling with people we never travel with, and some other people were missing, and I was terrified about the weather but it actually was one of the best trips we ever made!

My packing tips and tricks

I don't know about you, but I'm in the middle of my Easter holidays right now. I'm actually going on a trip tomorrow. I'm so excited! The company we're travelling with doesn't allow us to take a lot of luggage, so it was time for me to apply all the packing tricks I've learnt through the years.

Prague and Budapest

My friends and I recently visited Prague and Budapest, and since you know I love sharing the photos from my trips with you, here are the ones from our latest trip...

Daytrip to Lille

Last weekend, we visited Lille (France). It's so cool and weird going to a different country and coming back the same day! It felt totally unreal. I would say we had a great time there but we always to!

And you know I love sharing my travel experiences with you, so here are some photos I took.

Travel Tuesdays: Living in Belgium #2 - Featuring Antwerp

My adventures in Belgium continue and I get more and more excited to share them with you every day. 

This is Leuven, the place where I'm studying.

Travel Tuesdays: First days in Belgium

Last September 11th (great day to fly, I know) I moved to Belgium, where I will be studying this year.

Even though I'm studying in Leuven, I also visited Brugge and Brussels (and Ghent, but I was exhausted that day and didn't take any photos. I will next time I visit it. Pinky promise) and I'm loving my stay here so I wanted to share it with you.

My travel makeup essentials

When you travel, you want to take some makeup with you that doesn't take a lot of space, that's not very expensive (you don't want to be upset if you lose it, or forget it), and that lasts all day on your face.

I have finally managed to find the perfect makeup products for this. Trust me, I'm from Spain, and this makeup will definitely resist anything. It's water-proof/heat-proof/melt-proof/Spain-proof.

Rimmel's Stay Matte Primer *
To be honest, this isn't completely necessary, but if you have room in your bag, I totally recommend bringing this.

Maybelline's Dream Pure BB Cream *
Maybelline's are my favorite BB creams. I cannot live without them. They are what helps me look like a human, instead of a zombie. One of my favorite products ever.

Rimmel's Stay Matte Powder *
This is my favorite face powder. I love how it feels, and it works amazingly.

 * As you can see, I use a few mattifying products. I wouldn't be able to judge the mattifying power of each of them separately, but my face has been incredibly matte since I use the three of them together. I sometimes get home after a long ride in the subway and I feel my face all sweaty and disgusting, and then look in the mirror and you can't even tell. At all. So as I said, I don't know if one of them is amazing and the rest don't do anything, but I do know that by using the three of them... you get amazing results.

Maybelline's Color Tattoo Cream Eyeshadow: Pink Gold
I love Color Tattoos eye shadows for many reasons: they are incredibly long-lasting, they are pigmented, and you don't need any brushes to use them. I love this shade for the summer.

If you don't trust me on how good they are, I remember I wore this to a theme park last summer. We were out all day, and it rained sooo much. We were soaking wet  and when I got home I was so tired that I just went to bed without removing my makeup. And when I woke up the next day... this was still on my eyelids!!

Maybelline's Colossal Volume Waterproof Mascara
Maybelline's Colossal Volume is my favorite mascara in the whole world. I use the waterproof version in the summer because it's incredibly hot in Spain and I want it to be able to resist any sweating. This mascara will give me amazing eyelashes and will last all day.

Sephora's Khol waterproof eye pencil
Maria spent some time at my house last year. We went to sephora one day and they had these on sale, so she bought one. I loved it! So I had to get one for myself too! I can't believe what a good deal we got for just 5€. It lasts all day, it resists everything and it is SUPER pigmented.

Maybelline's baby lips: Strike a rose
I love baby lips. They have done miracles to my lips. Ok, this won't last all day, but you can keep it in your bag and put more on when you need to. I've been loving this shade this summer. It's like a bright beautiful pink, and it smells so yummy.

Maybelline's Dream Touch Cream Brush
This brush is super long-lasting too. It may not last 24 hours like the other products, but it's the best I have tried and I love it. I use the shade 05, but my skin is super pale, so you may need a different shade.

Question of the Day

What's your favorite melt-proof product?

Back from NYC

Hey everyone!

I'm back from NYC (which is obvious, if you read the post title). I've actually been back for a week but, unfortunately, I don't have wi-fi or a very good signal where I am now so I haven't used my computer a lot.
Ya he vuelto de NYC. De hecho, hace una semana que volví, pero no he ternido wi-fi ni una cobertura especialmente buena, así que no podido usar casi el ordenador.

I had such an amazing time there (which is also obvious, I mean, it's New York!). I think everyone who knows me knows that New York is my favorite city/place in the whole world - although, as someone once said "New York is not a city, it's a world" - so it just had to be amazing (if you know who said that, please let me know in the comments). Nobody can go to that city and not enjoy it.
Me lo he pasado genial allí (aunque, es obvio. Quiero decir, ¡Es Nueva York!) Creo que todas las personas que me conocen saben que Nueva York es mi ciudad/lugar favorita de todo el mundo. Aunque, como dijo alguien alguna vez, "Nueva York no es una ciudad... es un mundo" (Si alguien sabe de quién es esa frase, que me lo diga en los comentarios). Así que... tenía que ser genial. No se puede ir a Nueva York y no disfrutar.

I also wanted to share with you some of the pictures I took there...
También quería compartir algunas de las fotos que hicé allí.

You can see more photos in my flickr.
