We know that is pure sugar and that can’t be good for our teeth, but who can resist these little beauties?

Instalab – premium printing

Instalab

Raise your hand if you’re addicted to instagram! o/

I think everyone is addicted in some level, right? The problem is, as happened before with the phenomenon of digital photos, the images we register there end up getting forgotten after a while (after all, who prints instagram photos, right?). I used to think that until I met Instalab, a company created by two Portuguese friends, specialized in turning our instagram pics in super cool products!

Besides the option to print the pictures with or without borders (with Fuji Professional paper), you can order stickers, magnets, booklets… And there’s also a Lab, where the girls suggest new and creative ways to print the instagram pics like calendars, wooden panels and business cards. Amazing!

Instalab

One of the coolest suggestions – and the one I ended up ordering – is to transform the images into 10cm tiles (the pack with 6 tiles costs around US$ 25). Everything was very well packed and each tile is protected by a fabric on the back (a kind of soft suede).

The printing is very well done – as you can see in the photos – but it’s always nice to remember that if your instagram pics are too bright, that will reflect in the print. I’m in love with the tiles and they are now decorating every single room of my house. They’re really pretty!

Instalab

There’s also the option to make the classic refrigerator magnets and you can buy a package with 10 magnets for about US$ 20. They’re perfect if you, like me, love to change the décor of your kitchen from time to time!

Instalab

Look how lovely these impressions in polaroid format, called Retroprints, are! The package with 20 retroprints is US$ 13. And you can hang them all over your house (I know I did). :)

Beauty favorites – february

Beauty favorites - february 2014

These are a few of my february beauty favorites:

1. Natura EKOS eau de cologne Encantos de Capitiú – Capitiú is a sacred plant that has aromatic leaves with healing properties. Natura nailed it with this floral fragrance, with notes of pink pepper, it’s a delight! Ideal for those days of intense heat, in which we don’t want to use a super strong perfume.

2. KEUNE So Pure shampoo & conditioner – This line relaxes the scalp, adds volume (after my last haircut I’ve been trying to add some volume to it) and a beautiful shine to the hair. I love the fragrance too, a mix of chamomile and lavender. The brand says that the line also relieves headaches, which is a wonderful bonus, right?

3. Océane Femme Colour My Lips Lip Crayon – Dark Red – I love the practicality of lipsticks in pencil shape and I was pleasently surprised with this Lip Crayon. High coverage, very moisturizing and beautiful color – Dark Red is a very dark burgundy, almost brown. Now I want to try the other colors (Red looks beautiful too)!

4. Quem disse, Berenice? Lip Balm – Malveta – Lip balm is never too much, especially if it has a cute color like this one. The size is ideal to carry it in your purse and give that makeup touch up in the middle of the afternoon (moisturizing your lips at the same time). I apply it with my fingers, but, since it has color, it’s a good idea to use a makeup brush! ;)
