Makeup │ Happy halloween Pumpkins!! [Monday shadow Challenge]

Oct 31, 2016

(Défilez vers le bas pour le français)


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!

Skincare │ New L'oréal Revitalift Filler [HA] to Revolumize Your Skin

Oct 25, 2016


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!!

Makeup │Clown: Makeup for Halloween [Art Freak & Show]

Oct 20, 2016

(Défilez vers le bas pour le français)

Hello sweeties! How are you today?
Today is the first appointment of a new Makeup challenged I've recently joined called  "Art & Freak Show". This is a monthly challenge with a prompt for artistry or SFX makeup. At first, I joined the group out of pure voyeurism, as I find artistic makeup or sfx makeup so fascinating! But, eventually, I thought I should participate because that would be a real challenge.
The prompt for October is "Clowns", mine has been done with the makeup products I use everyday.

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.

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!

Although I managed to go through the Summer (and the summer sale) without splurging in any high end LE collection, I just couldn't resist the New Chanel Le Rouge n°1 Collection for Fall.

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!

Korean beauty │ Tony Moly Peach Anti-aging Hand Cream

Oct 6, 2016

What the say is true, the hands are the first to sell out your age!! We dab all sorts of lotions and potions on our faces, but are we taking good care of our hands?  Not that I try to hide my age, but I take a lot of closeup pictures of my hands and as I do not use photoshop as other nail bloggers do, I want my skin to look great and appealing as possible.
So, here I am, with yet another product from a Korean brand specially developped for hands: Tony Moly Peach Antiage Hand cream. I was sold when I saw the packaging, right? how could this be any cuter! But, of course, Does what is inside leave up to the expectations? Keep reading to find out what I think after using this hand cream!

till the last drop : Products I've finished in September [mini Reviews]

Oct 5, 2016

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.

Skincare │ Daily Concepts® in my shower!

Oct 4, 2016


Hello sweeties!
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!

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.
