Make up my mind: HAIR CARE

Although this section is supposed to be about make up, I've thought of include also skin/body/hair care and some tips or things like hairstyles, would you like it? Let me know in the comments :)

So, today Im going to talk about hair. For me, hair is one of the most important things and I care a lot about it, Im always using products to try to make it look better and healthier. These products are currently my fave ones:

 The product on the left is "TRESemmé Diamante Fuerza Extrema" (in English is called "Heat Defence Styling Spray"), the one in the middle is "Sérum oro líquido, aceite de Argán" and the one in the right is "Champú oro líquido, aceite de Argán".


TRESemmé Diamante Fuerza Extrema/ Heat Defence Styling Spray : this is  my current fave hair product because I swear its amazing. I've been using this product for a month more or less and I can see the results. I use the hairdryer and the heat-straighten a lot, everytime I wash my hair (almost everyday) I use them, so I felt my hair was weaker and was starting to break and I had heard a lot of good things about this product so I decided to buy it and for me it has been a miracle. My hair is a lot lot better, shining and healthy so I recommend this to everyone specially if you have dry hair.I spray it on wet hair to make it soft and shining and then I spray it again when my hair is dry and before use the heat-straighten to protect the hair from them.


Champú y sérum oro líquido, aceite de Argán (Deliplus): this product is from a Spanish supermarket (Mercadona) but Im sure in other countries they have it too, it's a serum and a shampoo of argan oil. I've been using other argan oil serum, not this one, since the last summer and I have to say I think its the best hair product ever, I needed to buy it online because in Spain didnt exist but one day I found it in a supermarket and I couldn't be more happy. Argan oil nourishes your hair like, in my opinion, no other product does, my hair has complete change since I started to use it and if you use it like me with an argan oil shampoo, believe me you will be amazed. I use the shampoo as an ordinary one, during my shower and I use the serum on wet hair, spraying it onto the half of my my hair (avoiding the top of the head because it could make your hair oily) and then I brush it also avoiding the top of the hair.

I want to say Im just talking from my experience, this products have worked so well on me and my hair is so good since I use this three products, but maybe they dont work for everybody. Despite this, if I were you I'll try them.
Let me know in the comments if you are using some similar products or if you've ever used them and also if you try it now let me know if they work on you :)

'Movie' Out Of My Way: FROZEN


We are here once again with another Movie Out Of My Way post. This time is about Disney's last masterpiece: Frozen.
This film tells the story of Anna and Elsa, the princesses of Arendelle. Elsa, has ice powers but she's scared of them and sets an eternal winter by mistake.


After this, Elsa runs away and Anna starts an adventure with Kristoff, Sven and Olaf (he's a snowman and likes warm hugs) to try finding Elsa and ask her to melt the ice that covers Arendelle.
I can officially tell you that this is my favourite Disney film of all the time and Elsa is my favourite Disney princess as well, she's so elegant and beautiful!



The thing I like the most about it is that it isn't centered in love like the other princesses' films; It is centered in the sisters' relationship and how it develops,  Anna's bravery and how Elsa gets to accept herself and her amazing powers.
Also, I wasn't very pleased with Olaf's character when I saw the trailer because I thought that it was going to be the typical pain in the neck, but I totally loved him. He's really funny and cute! He's also a bit naive, because he loves summer, but he doesn't know what happens to snow in summer...



The animations is beautiful, the colors are amazing and the songs? Omg, the songs. I know every single word of Let It Go. If it doesn't win the Oscar I'll personally kill someone.



It also has one of the biggest plot twists in Disney's history, I couldn't believe what I was watching. *SPOILER*Hans you fucker*SPOILER*
To sum up, it definitely worths your time. It's beautiful and it will melt your little heart. However, if you aren't into musicals you may not like it, because they are singing almost all the time.

So, Have you watched the film? Did you like it? Let me know in the coments below!

So many bands, so little money: 5SOS

Hello everyone, today I'm going to talk about a band that I discovered like a year ago more or less, and I really really love, they are: 5 Seconds Of Summer.

It's an Australian punk-rock band of 4 boys: Ashton Irwin, Calum Hood, Michael Clifford and Luke Hemmings. They started uploading covers on Youtube and making some small gigs but they became more popular in Australia and make some songs by their own and released an EP called "Somewhere New" with four songs. These are some of them:
Heartbreak girl.
Out of ,my limit (personally, one of my favourites). 

Then they started touring with One Direction in their Take Me Home tour as the supporting band, but not in the Europe tour (except for UK). They became more famous all around the world and made acustic shows in USA while they were touring with One Direction. When the Take Me Home tour finished they made their own gigs in UK and Australia, selling everything out in places like London. 

They have been writing their album for a long time, composing their own songs and writing with some groups like All Time Low and Good Charlotte. They have released some songs that are going to be part of this new album:

Try Hard.

Wherever you are (this specially for the fans OMG)

And yesterday they gave us the brand new song called "she looks so perfect", that is also going to be part of the new album:

Now they're currently touring in the UK with all the shows sold out. Hopefully one day they will do the same in Spain and other European countries, and also hopefully their album will be out this year.

This is one of my favourite groups definitely, they have influences of Blink 182, Sum 41, All Time Low, Good Charlotte, and some other punk groups. They have something special, different and one of the things that I like the most, apart of their music that is soooo good for such a young group (they're very very talented), is how close they are with fans. They're always on Twitter/Instagram telling us what they are doing, giving us information and when they meet people they're sooo kind and close that it's like your talking to a friend.
So, I think if you don't know them  yet you need to do it, specially if you like this type of music, believe me they're reaaaaally good. You can also follow them on Twitter @5SOS and there you'll find their personal ones.


I hope you like this post and I've showed you a need band that you may like, let me know what you think in the comments below :)

"Movie" Out Of My Way. OTP Comming: TEEN WOLF


"The series revolves around Scott McCall, a high school student living in the town of Beacon Hills. Scott's life drastically changes when he is bitten by a werewolf, becoming one himself. He must learn to balance his problematic new identity with his day-to-day teenage life. Throughout the series, he strives to keep his loved ones safe while maintaining normal relationships with them."

 The summary doesn't say much about the series, right? This is a great example of the saying: "Don't judge a book by its cover"...or a series by its title in this case.
You (as I did when I first heard about Teen Wolf) may think that this is just another romantic MTV series for teenage girls. In the first season yeah, you might be right...


This series is sooooo underrated, just because of the fricking title!! You made a terrible decision, dear title choosers.
It's true that the first season is really centred in Scott and his relationship with Allison, but seasons two and three are just so good! Every episode ends with a cliffhanger and it's frustrating but awesome at the same time!
Did you think it's all about wolves? Then, hell no! There are all kinds of freaky creatures: kanimas, banshees, kitsunes, demons and who knows? Maybe someday they'll give us a dragon! hahahaha

Aaaaaand I don't know what else to tell you. I don't want to spoil anything! Just trust me. This series is worth your time. It has action, mistery, romance, it's even spooky sometimes! It literaly has it all. (If you are a guy, you'll definitely like it too)

I'll leave you the season trailers so you get an idea of how awesome it is:

If I haven't convinced you yet and you like to watch series full of pretty faces and amazing personalities. Here you go, Teen Wolf has plenty of them (Alba and me are completely in love with Isaac and Stiles)

(From left to right: Isaac, Stiles, Scott, Derek, Lydia and Allison)

So do you watch Teen Wolf? Have you ever heard about it? Will you watch it? Let me know in the comments below!

Harry Potter and The Fangirl princess: THE MAZE RUNNER


"MEMORIZE. RUN. SURVIVE.
Welcome to the Glade. You’ll see that once a week, always the same day and same hour, we get supplies. Once a month, a new boy appears, like you. Always a boy. As you can see, this place is surrounded by stone walls…You have to know that these walls open in the morning and close at night, always at the same exact hour. On the other side, there’s the maze.

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he's not alone. When the lift's doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade, a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls.

Just like Thomas, the Gladers don't know why or how they got to the Glade. 

Thomas was expected. But the next day, a girl is sent up and she's the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. But more surprising yet is the message she delivers.

Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind."


Three days ago, I've started this trilogy and I'm a few pages away to end the third one. I just can't explain how much I've loved this books so far.

I have to admit I've had this books saved in my computer for at least a year, but they never caught my attention. However, after reading a lot of good reviews and finding out that the lovely and amazing Dylan O'Brien (♡) was going to be the main character in the film, I couldn't wait any longer.

From the start, you have no idea what is happening. As the summary says, Thomas only can remember his name and the rest of the Gladers refuse to give him any extra information about the Glade or the maze that surrounds it. Then, Teresa arrives with a note that says "She is the last one. Ever." and three words written in her arm "WICKED is good". After this, things get "shucked" (that's the word they use for cursing hahahaha): supplies stop arriving, the sun disappears and the grievers (some ugly mechanical monsters that run arround the maze) starts killing one boy per day. They have to find the exit as fast as possible and Thomas is the only one who can solve the maze.

(from left to right: Frypan, Newt, Thomas, Chuck & Gally)

The lack of information hooks you to the book, and doesn't let you leave it until you get answers. However, every time you get any explanation, another plot twist happens and you have to read and read and read. So thank you, James Dashner, I lacked study hours because of you. (no, please, I love you)

The book is so well written and planned. In the end every small detail makes sense leaving you with your jaw on the floor and your brain beggin you to start the next book.
I definitely recomend this trilogy, but beware, it will give you a book hangover, leaving you unable to read any other book for a week or so. To sum up:


The release day was 14th February, but sadly, they changed it and we'll have to wait till September to watch the film.


Have you read this book? What's your oppinion about it? Let me know in the coments below!!

Make-up My Mind: Rimmel London Lipstick

Hello everyone! Well so this is my first blog about make-up and also my first blog so please be nice hahaha.

Today I want to talk about one of my favourite products ever that are lipstiscks. First of all say that I'm a massive massive lover of lipsticks, in every colour, every season and everything related to them hahaha I have plenty of them. The one I've chosen is currently my favourite, I've been loving it for a long long time but still my fav one, and it's the Rimmel London lipstick by Kate Moss 107.

It's a really pretty deep-red colour and perfect for this season of the year because it matches with a lot of winter clothes like sweaters, dresses and shirts. I love to wear it with black and red, it looks soooooo pretty, but you can wear it with whatever you want because the good thing about this lipstick is that with a soft make-up it matches with almost everything and it stands out your lips!
Like I said before I've been loving this lipstick for sooooo long ( I have to say that I'm obsessed with dark lipsticks). And the best thing is its price, I bought it for 5 Euros (it was a sale price) I don't know if this is its current price but before I bought it I saw the price was like 10 Euros. Anyway I think this isn't really expensive but, as I said, I love lipstiscks so I prefer to spend money on them rather in other things hahaha.

Rimmel London is definitely my favourite make-up brand because it's not expensive and they have very good quality products. I love all the Kate Moss lipsticks, there is a big variety of colours so you can choose whichever you like, I would leave here the link for you if you want to have a look: http://uk.rimmellondon.com/products/lips

Hope everyone like the post, let me know what you think about it, about the blog, future ideas or things you want me to talk about on the comments below. Thanks for reading :)
