Report on my hair Loss & Spring Favourites: Schwarzkopf Bonacure Volume Boost
Mar 30, 2013
It's time for another spring favorite! It is about HAIR. So I used to be very proud of my hair. It was thick (not the thickest but thick enough) shiny, healthy, and quite a lot. Then, during the period I breast feed my baby I started losing my hair. It was so awful to see all this amount of hair on my pillow every morning, and when I washed my hair I had the impression I was going to become completely bold. Honestly, I had many bold spots that I try very hard to hide. I was advised to take some vitamins special for hair and nails, as an attempt to stop the loss and help it grow back. I did this as a treatment for three months, and my hair does fall less, and I have some hair growing back, which is noticeable near the temples of my forehead, but my hair is thin and bristle, has lost shine and looks flat. I feel definitely bad about this and I still haven't made up my mind to the fact that I'm never getting my hair back. so I'm still trying things and there is where this post goes: Schwarzkopf Bonacure Volume Boost is a great shampoo I've started using recently (3 weeks ago) and I already notice a remarkable improvement of how my hair looks.
The tri-polish challenge day 4: Rarified galaxy
Mar 28, 2013
Hello my dears! Another day for the Tri-polish Challenge, and the last for this month! In fact I'm running out of ideas for using the same colours, and Today is the day I MUST use all three colours. As I wasn't very inspired I thought I would made use of the "free" colours black, white and glitter topper, and eventually came up with the idea of doing a galaxy manicure! Well, sort of. If you ever wondered what a galaxy with purple, acid green and bright coral stars looked like, this is your lucky day, lol!
NYX Makeup palette Butt naked eyes
Mar 24, 2013
Hello my dears!! How are you doing today? How was your weekend?
Today's post is about M.A.K.E.U.P!!!! More precisely about a very useful palette I got last year: NYX butt "naked" eyes. Well, I've been wanting to show you this palette for months now, but I had always more "relevant" things to write about, and kept postponing it.
Spring Favourites Clarins Eye revive Beauty Flash
Mar 23, 2013
Hello my lovelies! Happy Satudary to you all!
Today I decided I was going to share with you my favourites for this season, as I did for Fall. To start with is one wonderful product I've recently discovered: Clarins Eye revive Beauty Flash.
Believe it or not, this is my very first eye-care product, and not because I wouldn't need one, I've tested several samples (Chanel Ultra correction line repair, Lancôme Absolue Eye, Biotherm Chroma lift yeux, Estée Lauder Advance night repair cream, and a couple I'm forgeting) and could not find one gentle enough, yet efficient enough for my eyes. Unitl I got this one!I know that it's not new that a girl after her 25th birthday should start taking care of the skin around her eyes, well, I haven't... Now I'm over 30 and it's definitely time to do something about it.

What I like about this product is that gel consistency, so refreshing! This product is to be applied in the morning in the area under your eye, I also apply it on the upper lid, because it is so gentle! It immediately mosturizes the area. After some minutes it also takes away puffiness (believe me I can barely open my eyes in the morning they're so puffy!) And after several weeks using it it has improve the overall appearance of my eye which was very dry. Now I think that even makeup on the eyes looks better than before!
Based on all the eye products I've tested I can recommend this one for very sensitive eyes. If you have sensitive eyes and you're looking for an eye cream to start with, which is lightweighted, scent free, and for the first signs of age and fatigue, this might be your answer.
Please, let me know what eye cream is your favourite and why!

The tri-polish challenge: Toxic butterfly

Hi my lovelies! Welcome to this new nail art challenge I'm following!
This is the first day of the Tri-Polish Challenge hosted by Debbie from The Crumpet blog so I'm going to explain a little bit what this is all about. Basically,

NOTD: OPI What Wizardry is this?
Mar 17, 2013
Hello my dears! I hope you had a fantastic and relaxing weekend!
Today I have for you a new nail polish in my stash, given to me by my hubby! It's OPI What Wizardry is this? from the Oz the Great and Powerful Collection. This is the odd one out of a soft shades collection, AND it is one of the "Liquid sand" polishes from OPI. Eventually I had to jump on the trend, after all these brands releasing textured polishes. And I got on the trend by the force of circumstances! lol.

The Battle Challenge: #20 Your favourite polish
Mar 15, 2013
Hello my dears! This is the 20th and FINAL battle of this challenge which is not a battle at all, and it's not about nail art, but just "Your favourite polish".
To ask me about my favourite nail polish is the same as to ask a mum which one of her children she loves most. It's not a difficult question, it's an impossible answer!

New Pope for the Catholics, a White tribute
Mar 14, 2013

Hello my dears! If you're somebody who reads the news, you must be already informed the Catholics have a new Pope. I've already said here I'm a Catholic, and I'm quite proud the chosen person to be the next Pope is also an Argentinian, like me.
Well, you might wonder what does this has to do with anything. It probably has no connection with this blog, but it does to my life. For the past months
EOTD: Spring look using Essence Hugs & kisses
Mar 13, 2013
Hello my dears! How are you doing?
I'm here again to show you a look I did with the Essence palete Hugs & kisses. I was a little divided by this look, because the colours are really gorgeous in the pan, but they're pretty sheer on the skin. Well, I guess that it's the way it's suppose to be. Very subtle.
So, here is another green eyeshadow I can sport to buy my grocers.
NOTD: Essence Colour & go Oh my glitter!
Mar 11, 2013
Hi there! How are you doing? How has your week started?
I have a lovely colour to share with you today and it's another purple! It's Essence colour & go in Oh my glitter! The funny thing about it is this polish has no glitter. It's a medium purple, leaning more to red than blue (despite what you see on pics) with a gorgeous Pink, blue, and copper shimmer, but I do not see any glitter.
Nail polish bought in Argentina
Mar 9, 2013
Hello my dears! Happy Saturday!
It's been over 2 months since I came back from my trip to Argentina and it seems I never got around to posting these! What a shame!! Well, is not like I haven't been posting at all, lol.
So today is about foreign beauties. As I told you (ages ago) all the family was ill for most of the staying in my home country, and I had not much chance to go hunting for nail polish. All I picked was a Revlon, a Maybelline, a mini neon unknown brand and three polishes from a local brand named Sandoz. Today I'm going to show you the three Sandoz.
The Battle Challenge: #19 Fruits vs. Lollies
Mar 7, 2013
Hello my dears! How are you today?
This is the 19th Battle of this challenge (only one left to go!) and is a battle between fruits vs. Lollies. I've chosen to represent fruits! Well, sort of, lol. For this nail art I wanted to recreate a mani done by another blogger, Moana from Ooooo Shiny! to see hers click here. I like her mani a lot and I think is by far my favourite way to use the strawberry fimos!
Essence LE: OZ The Great & Powerful my picks and EOTD
Mar 5, 2013
Hello my lovelies! How are you doing today? Today I have for you my very last haul before the NBB begun. I got some items from the latest Essence LE collection Oz the Great and Powerful. Many cosmetics brands have jump on board of the hype this film arouses, and though I'm not much interested in it, I can hardly say no to cheap makeup, lol!
UPDATE:Polished Polyglot on Facebook (new link)
Mar 4, 2013
(Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
Hello my dears! How are you? This is a short post to say to you that I had to create a new Facebook page to replace the one I created 6 days ago... I will explain all because it sounds so weird, but the most important is, I'm afraid all the followers have been lost. This post goes specially to the amazing ladies who have already liked my page in facebook: my dears, I'm terribly upset because of this, and I really hope that all of you who have liked my page in the past week, will do it again, will you?
So here is the explanation:
Mistake n°1: I created a page for my blog knowing nothing about pages and very little about facebook. WRONG!
I should have read all the info Facebook has for creating a page. It's quite easy!
Mistake N° 2: I decided that, not to invade my personal page with nails and things I had to create a new facebook profile. So I did. WRONG!
I could have had an indipendent page under my current facebook profile! I was having to log in and out to switch between my personal fb page and the blog page, it was a nightmare!!
Mistake n° 3: When I created a new profile in FB attached to a different e-mail address, I didn't create a person like "Natalia x owner of the blog", but just a FB Page for the blog. WRONG!
In that manner I have no WAY to interact with anyone in facebook, because I was not able to leave messages, or liking others, or joining groups!
So after 6 days I realized this was not going to work as a expected, and decided to start all over from the start. I really hope this will work now! So, click here to like my new definitive page.
Love,
Nati
The empties: January-February 2013
Mar 1, 2013
Hi darlings! Happy Friday to you all!
How are you doing today? I'm not feeling at my best and thought I wouldn't bare to paint my nails because I've been coughing all day. Instead I'd like to share with you all the products I've used up recently.
I've decided to write a post like this every two months because I get many products in big sizes, so it takes a while until they're finish, and also sometimes I have several products of the same kind open at the same time (lets say hand creams, lip balms, etc.) and it takes longer to use them up.
So here is the list:
