Polished Polyglot

Before the week comes to an end I have a super gorgeous shade of lipstick to share with you. Perfect for the weekend! Also perfect for Summer, for vacation, for the day or for a night out. Well, perfect, fullstop. I am so in love with it I couldn't leave it out of my lippie of the week series.

Hello my sweeties!
I have received three new items for stamping from Born Pretty Store: a Stamping nail polish and two new stamping plates. I would like to share my opinion with you.

Some are fancy, some are handy, some turn makeup application into an exquisite experience, others just get the job done. My addiction enthusiasm for makeup also include tools, and I have brushes galore: for different textures of foundation, for contouring, for bronzer, for blush, for powder and cream products, let alone the smaller brushes for eyemakeup, so on and so forth. I don't have a huge collection of brushes, or exotic brands, but I do care for mine and I thought I would share my favorite with you.

Black is a classic. There are few colors that look as chic and mysterious as a glossy black, so I'd say it is a must-have for every nailista (or nail enthusiast). OPI My Gondola or yours? is the new black OPI will launch with the Venice collection next Fall.

Busy Wednesday. My hair is a mess, my house is a hot mess. But I am wearing pink lipstick and I couldn't care less about the rest!

Since I live in Switzerland I have never experience a heat like this. If you, like me, were born in a country with long, humid and torrid Summers, then you know perfectly 36°C is not the worse that can happen, but Switzerland is not prepared for this kind of temperatures. The city, the houses, the shops, the transport means, all are a trap for heat! perfectly designed to maintain the warmth and save heating energy during the long Winters, but not at all suitable for hot summers.
In this kind of situation, I try to manage in order to avoid my makeup sliding off of my face, without having to buy special products. If you keep reading you'll find out how I do it.

I meant to try Burberry makeup for a while and finally fell for the colour of this lipstick, I find it breathtaking on the bullet (the packaging is out of this world too), but is it so on the lips?

In the hottest day of this year (so far) I'm here to show you my first swatch of FALL 2015! I do like Summer but certainly not when temperature is over 28°C, and my favourite season will always be Fall. So to dream a little of cooler (yet sunny) days I am bringing you a shade to FALL in Love with ;)

Hello sweeties! Is it Hot or what? June is over, finito, and that was incredibly fast. I was taking a look back on Instagram, wanna see?

I know we are melting in the (exceptionally) hot Swiss summer, but take a minute to dream-travel to La Serenissima... that's right the unique city in Europe, Venice.
That is where OPI is planning to take us next Fall!

Today will be a busy day, and a very hot day... I thought I would start it with a flowery manicure I did a while ago.
