Hello Lovelies! How was your weekend? Have you done something special this weekend? We were working on some house improvement and planning our summer holidays. Well, it's not certain yet if we'll actually leave on holidays, but in the case we do we'll go to Italy. It'd be great! Fingers crossed for it to become true!
EOTD: Slate green look with NYX Be Free palette
May 25, 2013
Hello my dears! How are you enjoying your weekend?
For me, It's time for another eye makeup look!
I have much fun playing with my eyeshadow palettes and finding ways to use all the colours. As I'm not a pro or anything, I just do this for the fun, but I also want my looks very wearable, because I'm not precisely going on a runway, so very sophisticated looks (which I find beautiful) simply don't match my style or my eye shape.
Today I'd like to show you a look I created using NYX Be Free palette, more specificlly the green-ish shades. My aim is to prove one can make all colours wearable for everyday life, even for the office.
The tri-polish challenge day 10: why not union Jack?
May 23, 2013
Hello my dears! How are you doing today? I have for you the another manicure I've created for the Tri-polish challenge. As you know this month I'll have to stick to three colours, grey, blue and red, and they were already presented here.
While thinking what good could came from grey, blue and red, baring in mind I could also have free use of white, black and toppers, I remembered how I always found quite awesome the flag manicures, specially the Union jack, because I think it's kind of iconic in the world of fashion. I thought it would also be a nice opportunity to practice my striping tape skills, and decided to give it a go!

Hello my dears! How was your weekend? here we have not had a great weather lately, seriously, Spring where are you? It looks a lot more like Fall, is grey, rainy, and chilly. Well, I guess my desire for spring shows in my nails today! What I'd like to share with you today is a Spring-y gradient I did with the addition of a cute 3D nail decoration sent to me by KKCenterHK.

EOTD: Pink & Wine with Manhattan Ostertag palette The Girl with a rose LE
May 14, 2013
Hello my lovelies! how are you doing today? It's time for some Eye makeup! I shall be honest with you, this Spring I'm absolutely obsessed with wine and plummy shades for the eyes. It's crazy but I'm in the search for the perfect wine shade that's enough red, but not too rust-y, and that's definitely not purple, but could be a little plum-ish. I have the perfect shade in my head, but for some reason the makeup brands Don't. Whatever. Today I'll share with you one of my recent findings and it's a Manhattan Cosmetics eyeshadow palette called "The girl with a rose" that's been recently released as part of a collection created in collabortation with the fashion designer Marcel Ostertag. You can find more info about the Marcel Ostertag Eyeshadow Collection here.

Hello my dears, how was your weekend? I hope you're enjoying it! I have been very busy, but gave myself some "nail-freetime", lol, and I'm taking the opportunity to schedule some posts with my draft pictures. I'm trying to schedule enough posts for the upcoming week, so I hope you don't mind if I keep it short-ish :P
Spring Favourites: EdP Body by Burberry
May 11, 2013
Happy Weekend my dears! Are you rocking this weekend? I hope so!
Today I want to talk "Perfume" with you. For the past few years my go to scent for Spring was Miss Dior Chérie L'eau. Now the hardest part since it's been discontinued and my last bottle finished, was that I had to find another favourite scent. and that is not an easy thing, because I'm quite picky about perfumes. While I love wearing perfumes, I get quickly fed up with most scents. I was resign not to ever find another scent I'd really love.
So I went to my local perfumery, decided to buy whatever was nice and affordable, because anyway I knew in a few days I would be fed up. When I entered the store I noticed they were having 20% on all Bvlgari and Burberry perfumes. I saw Burberry has launched a new Perfume called Body for Spring and since it was so affordable I decided to give it a try. It has been over a month now I'm wearing this scent everyday! That's enough saying if you know me. This perfume has a strange quality on me (maybe on everybody, I don't know), it evolves, it changes throughout the day. It has a really fresh but intense scent at the same time. I really suck at describing scents, but I was so pleasantly surprised by this perfumed I decided to share it with you.
So I left behind my orange flowers beloved notes, to pass to Peach, Fressia, Iris, Rose and Green Absinthe, being quite skeptical. But I'm pleased overall and keeping this scent on for Spring!
What are your favourite scents this spring? Have you tried Burberry Body? What do you think about it?

NOTD: Mariaunnaud Nail colour Swimming pool
May 9, 2013
Hi darlings! Happy Thursday!!! Any nice plans for the weekend? Here in Switzerland we have a long weekend because today and tomorrow is holiday. We're having a cosy evening with my hubby on the couch, he's watching the football as he usually does and I'm on the blogsphere, as I usually do, while our baby is already in bed. Nothing special in our weekend programs really.
What I'd like to share with you is a mini nail polish I bought at Mariaunnaud's from their own brand. It's called "Swimming pool".
EOTD: Dior Birds of paradise summer 2013 II
May 7, 2013
Hello my lovelies! How are you doing today?
Last weekend I had some more fun with my new Dior eyeshadow palette and came up with a light blue look. It's quite bold, but as it was sunny I kind of felt some extra colour was ok.
Eyebrows in a flash
May 5, 2013
Hello my dears! How are you doing? Today I want to talk EYEBROWS with you!
Among all my defects, my eyebrows are there. My eyebrows are so very far from even acceptable. In fact they are not -let alone identical- even similar between them, one is more rounded and the other has kind of an arch. The hairs are sparse, and if I pluck even a little they disappear. The tail of my eyebrows are rather short and messy, and on top of that, the eyebrow area is the favourite part of my face for my acne, so some spots are always around there.
But all these issues can be "hidden" with makeup.
NOTD: OPI Jinx from Bond Girls collection
May 3, 2013
Hi my dears! Happy Friday! I can't believe it is Friday again... where did this week go? I know I'm saying always the same thing but this year the time seems to pass specially quickly. Don't you have the same feeling?
What I have for you today is my absolute favourite from all textured polishes I've seen around, OPI Jinx from the Bond Girls collection. Seriously, I'm not all that convinced about this "textured polish" trend, as I said many times. But this colour is so exceptional is the only one I REALLY like.
The empties: March- April 2013
May 2, 2013
Hi my lovelies. Today is a very sad day since I learnt some terrible news from my dear polish-friend Christine yesterday. I'm in shock for this news and just want to go through my scheduled post for today without adding any comments. I'm just not in the mood for jokes or funny winks today. Sorry girls.
This post is about all the products I've used up in the past two months, March and April. There's quite a lot so I've decided to split in categories to make it easier.
