I absolutely love playing around with makeup but, most of the time I end up doing the same routine if it's just for like daytime or something casual. As you will see, I don't use a never ending long list of products. I keep it very easy and use as few product as I can to spare time. I always use a very light coverage foundation so that it looks as natural as possible. Using a full coverage foundation for daytime is just putting unnecessary stress on my skin, I'd rather wear something like that for a special occasion. Unfortunately my skin is nowhere near perfect, but l always make sure to apply my makeup to a clean and moisturised face.
This was my second time in Barcelona. I went on a girls weekend trip with two good friends of mine to get away from cold, wet snowy Sweden for a few days. Last time I came here I left with a rather bland impression on this city, which so many people seem to be completely head over heals for. So this time I was hoping that I'd leave feeling a little more enthusiastic about Barcelona. So I thought I'd give you my thoughts, there will be positives and even though I don't like being negative, there will be some cons. Let's start with the thing you just should not miss, I'm talking Park Guell, La Rambla and Sagrada Familia. I just think that those are three things that are famous landmarks in Barcelona and it's sort of a must to see them when you're there. We decided to go on a hike up to Park Guell one morning where you can see the whole city. Then of course theres the food. I feel like it really can either be a hit or miss with the food. I usually go by one thing when I'm looking for a place to eat; is a lot of people sat in the restaurant? If theres a lot of people sat in a restaurant that should be a clear sign that the food is good. I can't really recommend any places because I don't really think the places we went to were that fantastic. The food could be great at some places but the service was horrible, or the service was great and the food not so much. Though I will say, do not miss the food market on La Rambla. There was so much food, colours, smells and the whole atmosphere was great. Mojito's, Daiquiris, Cuba Libre's... I won't deny that we all may have had one too many drinks during our trip. But the drinks down there are so yum! Thankfully we were shown around and taken to some really cool spots, nothing like I've ever seen before. The bars we went to were little tucked away places in the alleyways and smaller streets. But please, do not leave your drinks unattended as there is a risk of your drink being spiked. I personally haven't experienced it, but we did observe it and it was very scary to think that it could just as well had been me who got drugged. There is so much incredible street art in Barcelona. If it weren't for all the colourful graffiti the streets would look rather boring I think. The harbour side is so beautiful, theres lots of stunning boats, and the promenad is lined with palm trees, and people playing music, yes please! Shopping here is fantastic, they've got so much to offer! You have got to pop in to ZARA while here because the stock here is incredible and it's way cheaper too. I've come home with a lot of goodies which I'm super exited about. Let's round it up. I would like to visit Barcelona again sometime but not for a while. It's definitely a destination worth travelling to and seeing but to be completely honest there are other places that I do prefer. But that's just my opinion, I know that a lot of people adore Barcelona.
