Summer favourites: Chanel nail polish Bel-Argus

Jun 29, 2013

Hello my lovelies! How is your weekend so far? I hope you're enjoying it!
Where I live is the "Braderie" weekend, which is the combination of the summer sales with village party. During the day is great for shopping discounted stuff, and during the evening and night is time for party! There are plenty of different food and drinks to try, and live music! It lasts three days, and there you meet almost everyone in town. It's a pretty cool concept, but in almost ten years I live here I have yet to see a Braderie without rain. Oh, man! Is freaking freezing out there, it's windy and rainy!
So, to compensate the awful weather I thought I'll share with you a beauty I got recently, which has become one of my favourites for this Summer Chanel Le Vernis in Bel Argus from the latest Chanel collection "L'été papillon".

The tri-polish challenge day 16 : Retro dotted mani

Jun 27, 2013

Hello my dears! How are you doing? Today is the last mani for the Tri-polish challenge of June using pink, purple and red. By the time I did this mani, I was lacking in inspiration (as usual for the fourth mani with the same colours, lol) and I took my inspiration from a post on the mythic blogger All laquered up, while she was featuring a nail art inspired on My awesome beauty: so this is a Retro dotted mani!!

The tri-polish challenge day 13 : Mosaic nails

Jun 18, 2013

Hello my dears! It's time for TRI-POLISH CHALLENGE  again!!
I have done my 4 manis for the month of June back in april, when we had awful weather, so my pics are a little dull, and I apologize. But I'm happy I did that in advance, because right now, I do not have time to do nail art! I just paint my nails once per week, and at most use some topper for an accent, and beg for it to last 7 days, lol!

Last Nail look for Spring: Purple butterflies

Jun 16, 2013

Hello my dears! How was your weekend? I'm working hard on my final paper, also on weekends :( When I have some free time in the evenings I schedule some blog posts, so this place continues to live, but most of the stuff I put are archive pictures of manis and makeup I've worn months ago!! For instance, what you're about to see was worn on April 11th!

Yep, all I do lately is write some short posts, and upload old photos. It's kind of sad my free time is so limited I hardly find the occasion to read and comment on my favourite blogs, *sigh*.

Well, hope you'll understand, soon all this will be over and I'll have some more free time.

Hello Dears! How are you doing? I hope you're enjoying your evening!
What I have for you today is a manicure that's been in my to-do list for very longtime: fishtail braid nails. It's quite simple indeed, so you don't need much except three different colours of nail polish.

EOTD: Maybelline colour tatoo in Metallic Pomegranate (+ short review)

Jun 10, 2013

Hello my dears! How have you started this week?
I've already mentioned some time ago that I'm really obsessed with finding the right wine eye shade, and I'm not having much luck. I do not know why the brands neglect this shade that I call "Bordeaux" and bring the shade always to much lighter reds, or bluer plums, but never seems to be the ideal shade that's in my head.
The closest to my ideal I could find is Maybelline colour tatoo in Metallic Pomegranate. This shade looked totally as I hoped it should look... under the store lights. But not in sunlight, or normal lighting at home.

Please, apologize...

Jun 5, 2013
I'm so freaking late with answering to your comments!! But I do read them! I receive each and everyone by e-mail and I check it regularly. I appreciate so much all your sweet comments! You girls are THE BEST. You always make my days sweeter with your kindness and support. I appreciate it so deeply.

Here is the thing. I'm a mom who's also trying to get the Master post-degree in "Science du langage et de la communication". Yep in French. That's already a challenge for me. So I'm working my a*s off to get most of the work done during the hours my baby does not need me, he's the sweetest little guy, but he's still young and needs his mummy. So I often work late in the evenings and early in the mornings, and that leaves my days without time for blogging :( I always try to catch up the most blogging during the weekends.

But you all know, there are times in life we need to set priorities, and getting my diploma is one priority over blogging, and it also is taking care of my baby. This doesn't mean I don't love you to pieces!! This means that for the next 6 weeks or so you'll have to be patient and do not get angry against me if I can't answer to you or read your blogs as often as I wish. It's in fact a big temptation! But I have to keep focused on my work if I want to succeed.

I know you understand, and I appreciate all your patience and support! You're the best!

LOVE & MILLIONS OF HUGS AND KISSES!

EOTD: Purple spring inspiration, Vanités de Chanel

Jun 4, 2013

Hello my dears! You might know by now I have a crush for Chanel makeup. But this is not new in my life. In fact it's been several years I buy Chanel makeup products despite the fact they're very, very expensive for my standard (yes, remember I'm cheap, I carry a bunch of discount coupons in my purse and I'm ALWAYS sniping discounts and offers). I treat my Chanel makeup like family jewellery, always place the cases in their velvety pouches, and only pull these baby's out of their boxes for special occasions. Well, there's one exception to that is my Premier Régard quad, which I use mostly every day, and a lipgloss in 277 Pensée that is my go to lipgloss during Spring and Summer.

Today I want to share with you a look I did with my beloved purple shaded palette from Chanel Les 4 ombres 08 Vanités. this was the first Chanel makeup item I bought years ago. I can't remember exactely when I got it but It should have been some when in 2005 or so.
