Polished Polyglot

The long wait is over! Happy Halloween sweeties!
My children have played the whole weekend with the halloween masks and costumes, they've already had major fun, so this evening we will go out for candy. There is not much people celebrating Halloween in Switzerland, so I keep fingers crossed they won't be disappointed and we can find at least one or two houses that will actually answer the doorbell.

Today is as well Monday Shadow Challenge, and I could not skip the occasion to present you a Halloween makeup. Today's colour is, of course, pumpkin orange!

Not long ago I presented to you a product from a new brand called "Daily Concepts®" which recently landed in Switzerland and today it's time to share with you another product from their range. This is a konjac sponge. I know konjac sponges had a moment of popuarity in 2010 or so, but I personally never tried one, so I was very excited to put this particular one to the test and share my experience with you!

Seriously, I feel young inside.

I'm eager to do new things all the time. Always thinking what's the latest? I don't feel at all 36, I feel more like 26. I believe the sparkle in my eyes shows my true age at heart. Unfortunately, my skin doesn't quite agree with my feelings. My skin does not follow my spirits, but she has this annoying tendency to obey to nature and gravity. I do not want to hide my age or pretend to be younger, I want my skin to show how my inner-self feels: young!

After all, I'm not 86, I'm 36, there are lots of things I can do for my skin. Treating my skin to fine cosmetics is definitely one very important thing to look my best. So when I heard Coolbrandz was looking for people to test the new skincare range Revitalift Filler HA by L'oréal Paris, I immediately jumped in (head first). I was so excited to learn I was chosen among so many applicants that I started using the range right away. You know I like to do things right, so I tested this range for 4 full weeks, now I am ready to give you my honest opinion with an in-depth review!!

Hello Sweeties! Bonjour! How are you today?

As every Monday I'm very happy to share with you my makeup look for the Monday Shadow Challenge. But this week I'm specially excited because I am working on some new content for the blog coming later in November. I can't say anything for now, but things are being cooked ;) Before that, I have two surprises for this week, that I hope you will like , so I can't say anything either, aaargh! but what I can tell you guys, is that it's about a little thank you to the BIG support you give me, I'm very excited about it!
Enough about that, let's get into makeup! This week we are munching pistachios!

Hello Sweeties! How are you today?

Today my boy re-starts school after three weeks of "Autumn-break", so we are going back to normal schedules, at least until Christmas Holidays. That means I will get a little more time for blogging properly again. I don't know if you have noticed I haven't been answering comments or reading a lot of other blogs lately (hangs head in shame). I apologize and I will try to catch up with those comments soon!

As every Monday, I have a new makeup look to share with you using the colour chosen for Monday Shadow Challenge. This week we are dipping into Marsala! 

Hello, my lovelies! Happy Friday and happy new nail art challenge!

Last week I was wondering how I was going to find the inspiration to fill every Friday nail art post, when all of a sudden I found out there is a new Challenge launching today! This is the "26 Great nail art Ideas" challenge and it will run every other Friday for one year. I am so excited!

Shall we begin?

Hello my sweeties! How are you today? I just came back from a wonderful vacation (why do vacation always seem so short?) and I need a serious pick me up :( I think it's the perfect timing for holo nail polish!! 

Zoya "Urban Grunge" collection for Fall/Winter 2016* achieved to cheer me up in no time! Gorgeous sparkling nail colours... never fails to put me in a good mood. I am sure you'll agree with me as soon as you see how lovely these polishes are. 

Hi, Sweeties! How are you today?

It's time to share with you about more Korean Beauty products I've recently tried, more Facial masks!! These mask from Tony Moly look pretty attractive and are very affordable, I saw many people reaching for them and praising them, but are they really worth the hype?

Hello, my lovelies! Bonjour mes poulettes! 

Greetings from the beautiful and sunny Mallorca! If you follow me on Instagram or on Snapchat you can see bits and pieces of my vacation here.

Today is a very, very special day, because  Today Polished Polyglot turns 4!! I can hardly believe how much has gone by these four years, how many people I have got to known, to exchange with and even to meet personally!! I started this blog as a simple personal diary for keeping track of my manicures and my nail polish collection and it grew, slowly but steadily in an almost full time occupation. I am so greatful to all of you my lovely readers who are always there for me, even when I have gone through hard personal moments and absent from the blog, you were always nearworrying for me. I will never forget it and I want so much to THANK YOU!! I would love to reward each one of you, unfortunately, it is not actually possible so, I will be having during the whole month of October and part of November a series of Giveaways in collaboration with some brands and stores to show you guys my appreciation! There is already a contest going on, so be sure to check the link at the very end of this post!

Now, the reason why you came here today, of course, MAKEUP! What else? Today's Monday Shadow Challenge proposes a strange colour full of history: the colour "Pourpre". If you are scratching your head in wonder (as I did), please keep reading to find out about this colour!

Hello, my lovelies!

It's been a while since I wrote one of these posts where I share with you the products I've used until the very last drop. I know several among you especially like this kind of mini reviews as they show a more insightful opinion of the product having it used for quite a long time and not just a couple of days or weeks. Here are the products I finish in September, they are not a lot because I have been testing quite a few items for the blog and nothing ever seems to finish! LOL 

Let's have a closer look.

Today I am very excited because in a few more hours I'll be on a plane with my family heading for a week of fun, good food and, I hope, relax (?). I do take time periodically to relax my body, but it is very difficult for me to put my brain in a chillin' mode. Even when I am supposed to be chillin' my brain doesn't stop, I'm always thinking new ideas, new ways to see old ideas, or if I happen to have a problem I can't stop thinking of ways of sorting things out... My hubby says "you think too much"! May be I do... 

For sure I do! 

So it seemed super funny to me to discover this brand of shower and body care accessories called "Daily Concepts" whose moto is "Individuals who think (and sing in the shower)". It's such a perfect fit, haha! If you are looking for original solutions for your daily body care, keep reading!

Hello, my lovelies, Bonjour!

Hello sweeties! I hope you are having a great weekend, I'm having a great one, already counting the hours for our next vacation, which are starting on Tuesday! yay!!
talking of vacation... it was about time that I finished showing you what I shopped for during my summer vacation in Italy!
I know, I'm so late! But I was hoping to have the time to style these garments and do a proper fashion photo shooting. Alas, that didn't happen because I have been stressing around the clock since we came back. But this post will not be totally irrelevant, because most of the items I got are perfect for this period, transitioning from Summer to Fall. By this gorgeous sunny weather we are having in Switzerland! Starting by the beautiful Missoni Sunglasses ♥ ♥ ♥
Shall we look at the rest of the things I got?

Hello Sweeties! Happy Saturday!
Does it smell like gingerbread already? What? Oh, the Holidays season seems far, but it is just around the corner! I have great news: OPI is launching this fantastic collection Breakfast at Tiffany's inspired by the ethernal beauty and fashion icon Audrey Hepburn! I tell you I can't wait!!
