Nailt Art │ Work appropriate nail designs !
Apr 29, 2017
Hello, sweeties! Happy weekend!
This week the "26 Great Nail Art Ideas" challenge is "work appropriate nail art".
Some jobs are very strict and don't allow nail polish at all. Some jobs are super relaxed and you could sport the craziest nail art to work without a problem. But, in between the two extremes, there are those jobs where while you can still wear nail polish, the very conservative environment (or different reasons) would require a discreet, lo-profile nail grooming. So today my challenge pals and I are here to remind you that being conservative and discreet doesn't mean boring! You can totally wear nail art to a conservative job and slaaaaay! ...in a discreet way, of course.
Jewelry │ Swarovsky gifts for Mother's day
Apr 28, 2017
Swarovski has launched a new collection for Mother's day called #givebrilliant and, while we were shopping in Paris, my hubby generously offered to get me "anything of my choice" at the Swarovski store in Champs Elysées. That would be my present for the upcoming Mother's day! Thank you my loving dear!!
Of course, there is no way I could wait until Mother's Day -May 14th- to show you what I got, LOL. So here are my choices.
Makeup │ Spring look using Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance
Apr 27, 2017
Hello, lovelies! How are you today?
Last Fall my hubby traveled to the US during Thanks Giving period and he took advantage of the Black Friday sales. He asked me "what is one thing you'd like" (he is so sweet and generous always!) I immediately thought of this palette! I have been wanting it ever since it was launched because I love the range of colours in it and the quality is outstanding! Many would think this is a palette for Fall or Winter because of the deep berry and orange hues, but I think this palette can be used all year round regardless of the season. So today I decided to show you a Spring makeup look I created using only this palette.
Skincare │ Reficis Soie-douce Moisturizing Serum (reformulated) : Holy Grail situation
Apr 25, 2017
I suffer from very dry skin and in occasions dehydrated skin. Let me say that I hate this, I hate it because it is uncomfortable, itchy and, let's face it, makes me look much older than I truly am (yes, I'm 37 but 22 in my heart). I can't begin to tell you how many products, serums, oils and what not I have tried for this problem of mine, so you can trust me when I say I have experience in this domain. One product that completely changed my skin life is REFICIS Soie-douce Moisturizing Serum*. If you suffer from a similar problem, you need to keep reading.

Makeup │Going Nude for the Monday Shadow Challenge
Apr 3, 2017
Can you imagine my reaction when I found out today we needed to go NUDE for the Monday Shadow Challenge!
Today is a good example of what "challenges" are for. Having fun, yes, sharing with others what you like, yes, yes! But foremost, for putting you in the uncomfortable position of trying to do something you wouldn't normally do.
This may sound philosophical, but nothing makes us grow more, improve more, than being uncomfortable! Uncomfort is one of the most efficient motors to makes us change and improve.
