Christmas time ^3^

Hi everyone!💚

Did you make your christmas gifts yet?😉

It's almost Christmas and I couldn't be happier!

Here in Bologna you can feel Christmas in every angle

There are a lot of decorations and markets

There is a big one in Strada Maggiore:

They sell everything: candles, hats, gloves, scarves, sweets (sicilian sweets!), candied almonds (my death), nougats, cotton candy, street food like piadine, grilled polenta, arancini, panzerotti (yummyy)

There is another big stand in Piazza Minghetti

Here they sell food from all over the world

You can taste some french desserts like this one:

It's a tarte citron meringuée (fancy af)

or English biscuits, spanish food, german food

Also, look at how beautiful these stands are!

You can also listen to christmas music!🎄 (is this place real tho 😲)

Another "decoration" that amazed me is this big beautiful Christmas tree near Piazza Maggiore:

Isn't it pretty?😍

Also me and my friend made a marzipan house!

Look:

Altough it's not so pretty I'm very proud eheh

The biscuit are from Tiger we made the icing sugar and the decorations of course

What do you think of our first attempt?💕

(be kind :P)

Shopping

Hi everyone!😄

I saw you really liked my latest post 💘 eheh

Today I will talk you about some items I bought recently

As you already know last week there was Black Friday, here many shops did it and how could I resist? 😋

I haven't bought much tbh 😔

First I went to Benetton because I wanted to buy a beret so bad and I found it (I know, other shops have it but i'm picky)

There were many colours such as green, dark blue, liliac and light brown, but since I wanted something dark and easily matchable I chose blue

(this is how it looks, I don't have other selfies because I'm not very well atm, I'm sorry eheh)

Then I went to Yves Rocher because I needed a bi-phase make-up remover for eyes since I finished mine (that was from Bottega Verde but they have stopped doing it)

I tried it and it's very good! It's similiar to the one I had before so it's not super oily and removes waterproof makeup very well

Then I went to Tezenis and bought two pairs of long socks, they costed 5,90 euros together!

They're opaque and I haven't tried them yet but since the quality it's good I'm not worried a bit

Then I went to Sephora and I bought an eye mask and a face mask 😍

The eye mask is from sephora itself and I've tried it: It's sooo good!

It has green tea extract and gives a refreshing and smoothing effect, my undereyes are still soft!

I truly recommend it

The face mask is from Dr.Jart, It's an hydratating mask and I haven't tried it yet but I bet it's good.

Everyone talks about this brand in a positive way and I trust them ahah

Anyway I will let you know if it works soon 😉

I also bought La Roche-Posay's Micellear Water. It's not new for me, I've used it for a long time and It's good and very delicate. When I first bought it there was only one type, now there are many: standard, for oily skin and for dry skin.

Also my boyfriend gave me a Yankee Candle 💖

I love the smell, it's so good I want to eat it mmm

This has nothing to do with shopping but in piazza Re Enzo there were many stands selling desserts (very fancy), I chose a revisited Bologna's rice cake.

It was delicious!

It had caramelised puffed rice on the outside and on inside there was a layer of mostard, one of white chocolate and one of caramel (yummyyy)

Do you want to take a bite? 😉

Make-up products

Hi everyone!💝

Today I will talk you about some make-up products I'm loving recently eheh

First of all let's talk about the base

Now i'm using a bb cream because it's more light and easy to apply

It's BioNike's Defence Hydra5 Radiance bb cream that is also moisturizing and illuminating:

It's really good and although it seems too dark then it changes color and becomes perfect 👌

It has spf 15 and it's nickel tested 👍
It costs around 15/20 euros I think

Then I'm using (for a very long time) essence's All about matt- fixing compact powder:

It's transparent and although it's cheap it's quite good

For the lips I'm using:

- essence's black lipstick (colour n.01 no more bat days):

It's from the Halloween's trend edition Bootiful nights , the packaging is so cute! I was afraid that It wasn't pigmented but I was wrong! It smells good, It's also matte and dries easily and doesn't smudge too 😉

It costs around 3 euros

- once again essence's red lipstick (colour n.03 Dare to wear):

It's pigmented and smooth to apply (if you don't know essence's products are all cheap)

- Avon's burgundy lipstick (colour: Truffle):

I have had this one for a very long time and I fell in love at first sight 

It's the perfect burgundy for me, It's also smooth and doesn't smudge easily.

It costs I think 9 euros

For the eyes I'm using Deborah's trousse:

Isn't it so cute?!💮

It has various color inside which I adore and they're quite pigmented too

I'm using also the contouring powder inside which isn't that strong and gives the perfect finish

I don't know Its cost because it's a gift (gomen ne 💕)

Then I'm using essence's Super precise eyeliner:

It's waterproof, longlasting and I like it much more than the pen ones because It's easier to apply, doesn't smudge and I can make a very thin line with no effort

For my lashes I'm using Rimmel's Scandaleyes Rockin' curves black mascara:

although it's not new I rediscovered it and i'm using it everytime I put on makeup.

It gives a lot of volume and a butterfly shape to the lashes!

When I bought it, it was in sale so I payed it 6 euros

This make-up products are all cheap but they are really good!

As you can see I buy a lot from essence oops

What do you think about them?

Is there one that you have too? 😗

Eating places in Bologna

Hi everyone!

I started university recently so now I live in Bologna🎉 (It's pretty chill here tho)

Some of you may not know that Bologna is full of places where you can eat. There are many bars, restourants, taverns, and piadinerie.

I, as a food lover, tried to visit different places (but many are still left omg)

So if you are planning to visit this beautiful city here are some places in which you can eat well:

First of all there are the piadinerie (piadina is the tipical emilia-romagna's food), to be honest I visited only two places:

-Romagnantica is a pretty good place, the staff is nice, you can sit outside and the piadina is very big and good;

-Piadeina is near Torre degli Asinelli, the staff is nice, you can sit inside and outside and the piadina is delicious, you can choose different base (classic, thin, thick), the products they use are very good, there are different kinds of "flavour" (here they use romagna tipical cheese: the squacquerone)

Then there is Toast@Bo, we ate there only one time but the toast was delicious! They do also smoothies, desserts, salads, and vegan toasts.

We also went to "America graffiti". This place is gold. It is 50s style (has red lights in it!) and does hamburger (real big), tacos, burritos, american desserts like milkshake with cream on top, it has also the menu for vegan and vegetarians! I'm in love tbh

I took a cheeseburger (fries are included, can you believe it?):

There is also a very famous place: Zoo. Here u can eat bagels, hamburgers, vegan burgers, desserts, sandwiches, they also do salads, juices and side dishes. On Saturdays and Sundays there is the menu brunch that is very affordable. It's always full so I recommend to book before you go there.

Then there are the bars (so many), I don't go often to them, but I went to one near my house called "Officina della lana": very cozy and characteristic (they sell wool inside!), the staff is nice and sociable, the desserts are really good and they do a very good cappuccino. Like every other bar in Bologna it isn't only just a bar but also a place where u can have lunch, dinner and of course appetizer.

There is another bar right in Piazza Maggiore, it is called "Caffè Vittorio Emanuele". I took a chocolate muffin, it was DELICIOUS,. The waiter was also very nice (I love kindness). You can sit outside and watch a beautiful view (the full piazza and the church). It is also quite cheap.

There are also a lot or bakeries!✨

I went to one in Strada Maggiore called "Nonna Vincenza", It's quite famous and they sell ice cream too!. I took a pistachio cake 😋:

The other bakery (but also café) I went is in Via Ugo Bassi and it's called "Gamberini". The waiter was very polite and the cakes were so beautiful!

I took a mini cheesecake with custard and a (giant) strawberry 🍓on top:

These are only few of the amazing places I saw, I will let you know the others 😉

Lucca Comics&Games

Hi everyone💖

Yesterday I went with my friend to LuccaComics, I was dressed as Dia Kurosawa (bzzzt) and she was dressed as Yoshiko (YOHANE!)

The city is really pretty and charateristic, every shop sold something unique just for the occasion.

We visited the "japan" space (in which there were amazing action figures and fluffly peluches that were very pricey tbh, and other shops on the way (we had little time 😢)

I met a very cute Riko Sakurauchi and Honoka 😍

Some people even took pictures of us eheh

We bought some delicious japanese snacks:

-Chocobanana pocky (only for banana lovers)

-Strawberry cheesecake 🍓 flavoured kitkat

The event went really well, It was well organized and fun (but at some point it started to rain really bad 😡)

Here are pictures of my cosplay:

what do you think?😉

News

Hi everyone!
Before I started university (a month ago) i did some shopping eheh 😉

 Look what I bought:

isn't it the cutest notebook?! It's so pinky and full of cats: I adore.💕

I'm also working on a cosplay with my friend, we made the skirt, now we should quickly do the rest!

can you guess what anime is it? ;)

This is our fist handmade cosplay so we're a little under pressure but it's worth it. Also we're going for the first time to the LuccaComics yeeee😎

I can't wait to go (and eat delicious snacks eheh 😋)!

Beauty Items

Hi everyone!💕

This is my first post so I'm a lil nervous 😳

I would like to talk you about some item I recently bought

-the first one is Caudalie's grape water (very famous)

it's absolutely perfect, I love it 💗. It is really refreshing, smells good and it's easy to use and carry with you.

-Bottega Verde's body exfoliant with red grape extract and grape seed scrub

it's really gentle on the skin and has a very pleasant smell. I recommend for people with really sensitive skin.😊

-since it's summer I wanted to protect my lips so I bought lip sun protection stick with SPF 30 from Bottega verde

It smells good, but it's a little to hard for my lips so I usually  put lipbalm first and then this. I think it's really useful especially in summer, because lips can easily get burned 😢

-the last one is my favourite: Bottega verde's argan mask (yes I'm addicted 😏)

I LOVE IT. I've dyed my hair a lot this year, so I was afraid it might be tragically damaged, but everytime I use this mask it becames super soft and silky. I fell in love 💓. It doesn't take long either! Only 3 minutes!😍
