So I May Have Gone Shopping Today...

Oh no! It's happened again! Every time I finish work and it is at a time where there are still a few hours of the working day left for the rest of town to be open, I seem to find myself more and more in the same situation. I clock out of work, get my bag checked and say goodbye to everyone and walk out of the store with the intention of being home within a few minutes. However more and more recently, I have found myself crossing the road and in a beautiful palace surrounded by luxuries and shiny, colourful products that my eyes are constantly drawn to. This place makes me feel like I'm at home, surrounded by absolutely everything and everyone I love in the world, and I get a feeling of contentment and happiness being there. Everyone looks at me, calling me into their area. And all the big names that bring everyone a sense of comfort because they are well known just surround and welcome me home. I never want to leave. This place is magical...

This place, this palace, is Debenhams. Browns of Chester. A department store.

So yes, I do indeed have an arguably "unhealthy" obsession with shopping, being in stores and buying products. Mainly clothes and beauty products. Hence this blog and the whole deal with Estilo e Fashion. To share with the rest of you my passion and to explore that industry on a more personal level.

To end, here are some images of the products that I have purchased today...

Rouge Volupte Shine lipstick by Yves Saint Laurent, Shade number 4 "Rouge in Danger.

This item usually costs £25.00, both in store and online, however, today I spent £20.00 on it as I had points on my Debenhams Beauty Club Reward card that totaled to £5.00. So I managed to spend less than I would usually have on it and the lovely lady who served me on the counter even gave me a free "Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils" Baby Doll Mascara. I think it must be a sample one but it was still free! She is such a lovely lady. 

Anti- Blemish Solutions 3-Step System kit by Clinique. 

This kit costs £30.00 and consists of 3 Anti-Blemish Solutions that as of now will be a part of my daily skin care routine. It is a 3-step system for all skin types that is (standard of the Clinique brand) "Allergy tested and 100% fragrance free", and consists of: 

1. Anti-Blemish Solutions Cleansing Foam 50ml. This solution is a deep cleaner and so is step one of cleansing the face completely. 
2. Anti-Blemish Solutions Clarifying Lotion 100ml. This solution is used for step two which unclogs pores.
3. Anti-Blemish Solutions All-Over Clearing Treatment 30ml, which is step three. This final solution is designed to treat and clear up blemishes. 

I have not used these products yet, as I have only just bought them, but I have been highly recommended them by friends and other beauty bloggers on my Instagram and Twitter, and I cannot wait to try them out. I will definitely post up a review of them in the next few weeks. 

To complement the Anti-Blemish Solutions 3-Step System kit, I also purchased the Anti-Blemish Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel, once again by Clinique. 

This product costs £14.00 for 15ml and is designed to work both on its own and alongside the above products. It is designed not only to clear current blemishes upon application but also to prevent new blemishes forming. Fingers crossed this will work for me!

So after all that, I'd say today's shop was a very successful one. As mentioned before, as I have not yet tried these products yet due to only being recommended them and having only just purchased them, I will make sure I have reviews of them up on here and hopefully in the next few months on my YouTube Channel as well - which I plan to launch sometime in June. Until then, please continue to check out my blog here, and check out my Instagram page and my Twitter page. Also I would love to hear what you guys think of my blog and the things that you would like to see me posting on Instagram, Twitter and YouTube in the near future, and what you would like to see me writing about.

Start of something new...

Hello lovelies!

So this is my new blog for Estilo e Fashion, and this is my first post! Basically, in this post I just want to introduce Estilo e Fashion and what and who we are and then to take it all from there.

As you can hopefully see in my bio and if you have looked at the information on my profile, Estilo e Fashion is basically all about Style and Fashion. 'Estilo' is the Portuguese word for 'Style', and 'Fashion', well, I'm assuming if you're reading this and understanding, you know what 'Fashion' entails. The story behind this name is, because I am interested and enthusiastic about fashion generally, as well as beauty and health, I wanted to start expressing myself through any means I could, and exploring these things. I wanted to build up a portfolio of images of the things I love and the things that inspired me in this area, and after discussing with a friend, Estilo e Fashion was born - initially as an Instagram account and now with the intention to expand to other social networks and as you can now see, a blog. Hopefully overtime these will all develop into my own business. I chose to go for "Estilo" meaning "style" as it covers anything from in beauty from make up to nails to skin care to hair to reviews to ... Well anything. And combining with fashion just creates the perfect label of everything I aim to explore. What of the Portuguese? .. Well, I love the language, I am trying to learn it and it just sounds so ... Beautiful.

So, a very brief introduction here to what I am all about. I would love to hear feedback from anyone who reads this, and I would love to know what you all want to hear from me.

I am hoping to expand to youtube in the next few months and do make up tutorials, reviews of products, and anything else you guys may want to see - I would very much appreciate it if you let me know. Hit me up either by emailing me on the contact me link, or on Instagram or Twitter - which would be amazing if you could check out and follow and help me get the ball rolling with all this!
