La La: Things that I do not get! This is serious!

This is serious! The level of rudeness is getting bigger! 

Guys really?! Pushing the ladies just to get the sit on the tube first?
Well you can have it all...

The society is getting fairly rude! I mean if you look around, you will see that people do not show a bit of compassion. Of course, it is some rare cases ( I like o think I am one of them), that still smile even if the other person don't return it. 
Maybe I am just a "pleaser". Therefore as a "pleaser", my need to make other peoples day is quite huge.
I am eager to show that the world is not only grey nor black... It is funny... 
It's funny how I feel like I should make others happy when I don't appreciate myself, and it is only during these moments that I take a sit back and think deeply about my own feelings. I is funny indeed.
Enough about me.
My reason for writing this post, its purely because of that man, with no name that pushed me across the tube, just to take a sit for 10 minutes. 
If you are reading this, please take a few steps back and analyze yourself. Is this global rudeness and lack of compassion affecting you? 
Maybe this is the best time to make a change. 

Lots of Love LALA

La La Is missing her Home land.... but just for today hahaha

Ok, Ok, Ok..... OK.... I admit it!!!

 I miss my home land.

I miss Portugal, my sweet and old Lisbon!

It's been 8 months since I moved to London.
So far so good. So far, I love it.
I mean I love England! London? Not so much...

Today I felt like going to the same Cafe to take my morning coffee and enjoy the view. I miss speaking in Portuguese all day. I miss walking in the same old streets that I've been walking for the past 19 years.
Its been 8 months...

I miss the best Cod of the world! I miss going out with my friends, having drinks for the price of crisps (yeah the drinks in Portugal are cheap).

Missing my yummy Pastel de Nata!

Its been 8 months...

I miss you today, but only for today my eternal Lisbon.



My birth place, the place where I grew up and where I formed my personality, where who I am today started.

Love you my Lisbon! My Portugal!

MUA Lip boom Review part 1

I love MAKE UP!!! 
Better, I LOVE MAKE UP THAT LASTS ALL DAY!


I believe that make up should last all day. All the hard work, the extra hours or minutes in the morning you take, just to look at the top of your game... *sigh. Well you know what I mean =)
I must confess that my love for make up is quite recent.
Everything started when I moved to London. Its not like I felt the necessity to look great everyday, the main reason was, without doubt the price. The rush in your blood when you buy lots of products without spending a fortune.
We all agree that for these days, not all of us can go into a store and spend over £80 only in beauty products.
Having said that, I started a journey to find the best affordable beauty product.

Today I tried:

MUA LIP BOOM: Bring It

MUA LIP BOOM: It's a Situation


I must say that I am in Love with them!!!! They last all day!

Benefits:


  • They moisturize and hydrate your lips.
  • The color is vibrating and really stands out.
  • Heads will turn.
  • They will make your smile even prettier. 
Best part: they are only £3 each.
I am glad to say that I got 2 for £4 in promotion at Superdrug!!! Oh and by the way they only sell MUA at Superdrug! 

Try it!! 

By the way tell me what is your beauty routine and the products you don't live without!

Lala LOVES MUA!!!

1st of all I want to apologize for my looooong absence. Well as some of you know, I moved to London. Such change isnt easy and having to think about the basic things in life and a way to support yourself, can be very overwhelming at 19. Its not impossible though!!!!
I am here and not coming back till I become someone!!!

Moving on... Since I have been here, my love for make up evolved. I learned great tricks and discovered great and affordable products. That been said:
I am in love with MUA!!!

They have luxurious make up starting at £1!
Ok, I know that you are slightly turning your nose as the lack of your trust in a brand that is emerging arises. Therefore, I will start doing products reviews.

MUA is:
Marvelous
Unique
Affordable

So feel free to suggest anything.

Loads of love Laurean

What is the definiton of the word BEAUTY?

VIRTVTEM FORMA DECORAT
A BELEZA DECORA A VIRTUDE – Leonardo da Vinci
What defines beauty? Is it the Money in your wallet? Is it your skin tone? Is it your body type? Is it your smile and the glitz in your eyes?
I think that beauty is a word without definition. What beauty means to me doesn’t mean the same to others.
It’s funny to see that, what I find amazing and brilliant, others think as cheap and ugly. This is life and it’s amazing. The fact that people have different opinions about simple things like food, money, life, love, beauty… it’s fascinating. Personally for me, life wouldn’t be funny. Life wouldn’t be life as I know it.
I have to confess that I feel jealous when I watch those princess movies. I mean c’mon everyone does (if you don’t! Something is really wrong you! Lol)
Beauty it’s such a beautiful word. It sounds great when you mean it. It sounds great when you’re in love. It sounds great when you are depressed. It sounds great when you say it to your friends.
Deconstruct the word beauty, and you’ll get:
 
Brave! You are brave when you defy what you think it’s impossible. When you define beauty by yourself!
Elegant! When you put that red dress and your black high heels, and your ruby lipstick… You can conquer the world or at least that amazing and fancy restaurant. You go girl!!!! Spread elegance and catch the eyes of the guy alone in the bar.
Abilities! You are a woman! Your abilities are endless. You can give birth. You raise good men and great women. You are a great cook, when you don’t burn the kitchen. You are smart, independent, brilliant, amazing, gifted. You provide balance and harmony to others life. You sacrifice everything for your family. You try to be there in every single moment since birth. You keep everything in control, well at least you try. It’s not easy to be a woman.
Unique! Well everything that I said it’s not enough. You are one of a kind. No one looks like you (not applicable for twins ah ah ah). No one sings like you, even when you are out of key. No one smiles like you. No one cries like you. No one jumps of joy like you. No one gets drunk like you. No one looks like you in that hot red dress. No one puts that ruby Chanel lipstick like you. No one acts like you. No one give kisses like you. No one looks beautiful in the morning like you. No one defines beauty like you do. It’s not enough but it’s a pretty cool list of the main things that make you Unique.
Treasure! You are a treasure. You carry for 9 months a little treasure, and then you give birth and raise a little treasure that will turn in one of the most wanted, unique, envy and beautiful treasures.

You! You are the definition of beauty. Look at you! I mean look at you in a positive way. Look how beautiful are your eyes, your lips, your cheeks… Jeez you are gorgeous. Your smile is hypnotic. When you look at him with your almond eyes he melts. You are perfect.
I came across with these two ads from Cover Girl (by the way I love the make up!)!!!
Drew Barrymore and Queen Latifah give a definition to the word beauty in their own way.And that is the main point. You have to define beauty and not let others define beauty for you.
 Look at the confidence that they show. They are proud to be who they are. This confidence makes them beautiful.
 Confidence makes you beautiful.

Now put a smile on your face and just enjoy yourself. You define beauty.
Only you can make others see and believe that you’re beautiful. And guess what?  
You are 
beautiful to me!

 xoxo LaLa

*LaLaRapariga: Night Date



I’m all about comfort so I must say that these shoes from peacocks are amazing. You can stand in them for the all day and all night. Thanks shoes for supporting me !

I usually don’t have night dates (right now I don’t have dates at all. But oh well Single *sigh), these outfit it’s so comfy it’s like pajamas!

If you have a little tummy like me, the stripes will just erase the fat rolls, well not entirely, but you can’t have everything!

I love this vintage necklace. I bought him in Spain 2 years ago. :D It's so simple but at the same time so chic and timeless!
The key point for this garment it’s the lipstick! I mean if you want to turn heads, just put a ruby lipstick on and smile!



I came up with this new quiz: 
“How much did you think I spent?” 

Every month I will select a winner and give her surprise prize!
Just guess and tell me.

So.... How much did you think I spent in this outfit?

La La is moving..... To LONDONNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

Pois é, vou-me embora! Vou para Londres.
Vai ser uma nova etapa na minha vida. Vou conhecer novas pessoas, ter uma nova abordagem cultural, etc.
Vou estar sozinha.
A parte mais dificil é mesmo deixar a familia, os amigos e tu o que conheço. Quando voltar as coisas estarão diferentes, já não vão ser as mesmas. Vou sentir saudade do meu trabalho, dos bares, dos cafés e dos restaurantes onde convivi com os meus amigos. Vou sentir saudades do metro de Lisboa, das ruas. Do terreiro  do paço, do rossio, do marquês de pombal, do parque eduardo XVII, da alameda, vou sentir saudades tuas lisboa.
Espero que a Inglaterra me acolha de braços abertos.

Enjoy the video, it's all for you guys
xoxo
