30 day photography challenge: Day 6 From a low angle

This time i only have one single pic!

And is me and my huge belly, I'm 32 weeks in this pic, and i took it last week.

Luckly my face is blurred cause i was just out the shower, my hair were a mess and no make-up.

And i look retarded ehehehe

All my face's beauty products - tips for oily skin

Yesterday I decided to tidy up the mirror container in the toilet where i have all my beauty products.
And reorganized it separating every product for the function it has.
So i noticed how many things i have for my face!
Lets see how (and if) I use them
There we go:

Soap

- Sulfur soap
It is recommended for oily skins, with its astringent and refreshing properties, acts on acne and points blacks, narrowing the pores.
Do not wash your face more then twice per day with this soap.
And once a week i use the rough side of the sponge, together with the soap, as exfoliating.

Can find it in any herbalist's shop, quite cheap price.

Mask

- 1 Face mask mud of Mar Morto (Bottega Verde)
 recommended for combination and oily skins, with Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Bromine and Sodium.
Cleanses thoroughly, it is also ideal for a revitalizing dull skin.
I find it very refreshing so i use it also to narrowing pores.
I used it once a week, but now I just use the day before and event where i need to use lot of make-up to clean my skin and make it look good.
This is also a product you can get from herbalist's shop and is cheap.

- 2 Glycolic Acid Peel Off Face Mask (Bottega Verde)
This one can be used for every type of skins, Eliminates impurities and dead cells from the skin surface using the action exfoliating glycolic acid.
I do apply it after a warm shower or after using warm water on my face or hot steam, to enlarge pores.
So the mask can penetrate better the pores and clean them deeply, after that i was my face with cold water to narrow pores again.
As the one before I used once a week, but now juat when i need to clean my skin before applying make-up for a big event.
This is also a product you can get from herbalist's shop and is cheap.

- 3 Wander pore White Clay Clear (Etude)
I just report what they say on the official website: Pore adhension + Pore cleansing +Soften texture + even tone + hydrating - Pore care mask for clean and clear skin with white clay , rice bran and grain powder.
I found it hepful for oily skins, it clean and revitalize my skin, giving it a better color and a better look, it is very refreshing and narrows pores, but i need to apply a moisturizing cream, cause it can leave my skin a bit too dry.
I use it a couple of time a month and as the mask before I do apply it after enlarging my pores with warm water or steam for a deeper cleaning.
Price is medium also cause it can't be found in Italy so it is needed to be shipped.

Tonic

- 1 facial tonic with extracts of cucumber (Bottega verde)

For combination skins to use after washing the face.

rebalancing the skin and eliminates the unsightly shiny effect. The cucumber extracts tightens pores and normalize skin.

It also contains Zinc, sebum-balancing, Burdock extract, astringent and purifying.

The soap and the cream were just a sample Format.

I usually forgot to use tonics for montsh and months and i remember only when my skin is irritated

Anti ageing

- 1 HYDROTENSEUR concentrated drops (Rilastil)
Just bought it and used only once so can't say alot, gonna rewrite what the official website says:

I don't really need it, but we use to say "prevention is better than cure" so I'm going to use it once or twice per week.
Price is expensive

- 2 INTENSIVE eye Cream (rilastil)

I use it almost everyday and must say I love it.
That area around the eyes looks so much better, a better and healthy color and feels refreshed and compact.
Price is medium/high

- 3 Bio retinoid anti-ageing concetrate (REN)
This is the one i used for over two year, but now the bottle is empty.
It is very oily and moisturizing, used always after washed my face and before going to sleep around my lips and eyes especially, with a soft massage.
it smells very good and i found it working fine with my expression wrinkles (like when you smile) if used consistently.
Price is very expensive

- 4 3D Filler (KIKO)
is a treatment to correct and camouflage wrinkles instantly. If used consistently fills the signs of aging, prevents oxidative stress and gives the face a more youthful appearance and smooth.

Price is medium

- 5 Invisible 3D lifting (KIKO)
is a serum for the face referred to as shock treatment before important events, giving immediate freshness to the face and optimizing duration and yield of make up.
As it says i only use it before and event the moment when i have to apply make-up, around the lips and the eyes
Price is medium

- 6 Total effect 7 in one Day cream (Oil of Olaz - Olay)
Just bought it so lets see what the official website says:

30 day photography challenge: Day 5 From a high angle

A photo from an high angle can have different interpretations.
So since, as usual, I can't chose just one, I'm gonna post 2 different interpretations.

First one is a selfie

An high angle helps to looks thinner and younger!

You can't almost see my belly!

How old do i look like?

The second pic is from an high angle over the lake where we spent some relaxing vacation, this is the view of our residence swimming pool, close to the Garda lake

A lolita transformation

I wish it was that easy!

How long does it take to you to get all dressed up in lolita?

Usually for casual look i need lets say 1h and half, or 2.

But for events it may take longer!

Sometimes i start the day before preparing my skin, hair and nails.

I kinda love it, but sometimes the time runs too fast and I get late to the appointment!

30 Days phoyography challenge: Day 4 Something green

The green color reminds me of the nature and the plant.
So i took a pic of our green corner

Actually, it is my husband, green corner, i really don't have a green thumb, all plants i had died miserably v_v

We wanted so much an home with a backyard or a small garden, but all we could get was an home with a shared courtyard and so we placing the plant we can in our alleyway.

We have a tomato plants (but no tomatoes yet), mint, bonsai....and something else ...but i don't know what it is !

30 Days phoyography challenge: Day 3 clouds

I took a few clouds pics and i can't just pick one, so i'm posting them all!

This is the one we took from the airplain flying to Vienna

Took this one while going to Bologna to meet friends, this sky is almost a "cielo a pecorelle" (sheep sky) because the clouds looks like sheep's whool.

And in Italy we use to say "cielo a pecorelle, acqua a catinelle" that google translate for me as mackerel sky with rain water.

This one, same day, on the way back home

We had a very nice day, indeed.

LBC : Your favorite three pairs of shoes for Lolita

Hello everybody!
This one is very easy for me.
My favorite pair of shoes, over everything else are my boots!

I used them EVERYWHERE.

So much that in the end i broke them and I'm very sad.

I can't find another pair like this, gonna wait for the winter or try to fix them.

To the second place I put the shoes I used for my wedding and for the GLZ tea party in 2013

 

And at the third place, the only shoes that are actually made for lolita

Same dress different outfit

Got them from Bodyline in Harajuku during my honeymoon, and I would like to get a pastel pink pair aswell.

Five days to Vienna (photos heavy)

We had a little vacation at the beginning of May, because I'm not going to be very active in the incoming months since the belly is getting heavy.

Usually we like to walk a lot and see as many things we can, but my condition didn't allowed us to be as usual, but we did try our best!

For sure I could not waste a chance to see Sissi Palace, Shonbrunn, and the HUGE queue to get the ticket to go see the inside.

Many friends told us the inside doesn't worth it 'cause is not the original one from Sissi time, so we decided to not do the 2 (and more) hours queue under the hot sun (it was a very hot day).

Instead we went for the garden and the zoo.

And of course I wanted to eat the original sachertorte at the Sacher Hotel, what a wonderful and elegant place!

The cafe is placed on the side of the Hotel and there is usually a queue to enter, we had to wait about 10 minutes, but we did stay inside 40 minutes about, enjoying the experience.

 

I took original sachertorte with whipped cream 

And  original sacher mishung tea

So delicious!

During the week we also visited the Secession palace where is placed the Beethoven Frieze by Gustav Klimt, my favourite artist.

The Leopold Museum where i mainly went to see Egon Schiele (Klimt pupil) and Klimt.

We didn't manage to go to the Belvedere where is the main Klimt collection, because I was always very tired and it was not so easy to get to.

On Sunday we went to the Prater, a park with a big part of green and a lunapark, where is the Vienna Ferris wheel

Of course, we went for a ride 

After all the walking and a wiener schnitzel...

My husband, my belly and myself went for a ride on the train into the green side of the park
