Polished Polyglot

Bye-Bye February!!

Can you smell the Spring already? (as I say this the weather prepares for -hopefully the last- snow) I'm so impatient for the warmer days to come. Oh boy, has this winter been harsh on me! It's been very cold and I've been ill for several weeks. All of which resulted in a very dehydrated skin. I need to prep my skin for Spring and I've been testing Orlane Super Moisturizing serum* and Orlane Gentle Cleansing Foam* to get a more hydrated and supple skin. Have these two products lived up to my expectations? Keep reading to find out!

It smells like spring already! I know it's still a bit chilly but around here we have had a few sunny days on a row and that felt so good. Today, as every Monday, I have a makeup look to share with you. This time it is a very colourful and bold one that I find especially appropriate to transition from winter to spring. Using Pine Green, the Monday Shadow Challenge says farewell to the coldest season!

Bohemian glass. I remember my granny, who wasn't a wealthy person, being so proud of owning a set of wine glasses from Bohemia. Now that she's gone, the glasses remain to remind me of her. Grannies teach us so many things! Bohemia was a region (now belonging to the Czech Republic) known for producing the highest quality handmade glass in the world. Those were of course quite expensive, so owning some pieces was such a privilege! What do you think my granny would say seeing my brand new collection of Mont-Bleu glass files and accessories from Prague!! I'm sure she would have been enchanted just as I am (and would have wanted a couple for herself, lol).

There is no doubt, for the past few years there is a hot-hot-hot trend on "Rose Gold Everything". I must admit that I have never worn a rose gold makeup look, but when I saw this prompt for the Monday Shadow Challenge I thought how come I never came up with this idea?
I'm sure all rose gold lovers will embrace this shade also for makeup because it is one you can't go wrong with!

Hellooo sweeties! I'm BACK! I'm so happy to be writing this post for the Monday Shadow Challenge and to be able again to read my blogger pals and interact with you on social media.
The prompt for today's look is RED. This has been on trend since last Fall and almost every brand has put out there a red-ish shade. One risky colour if you ask me, that can look either sublime or a total disaster. That is why I decided to chat a bit with you on how to use this colour on your eyes and totally rock it.
