Makeup │ Ice Pink and Berry Look for the Sign of Leo [Zodiac Makeup Challenge]
Jul 30, 2018
Happy Monday, sweeties!
We are enjoying our second vacation week by the sea! I'm sorry I haven't been around much answering your messages and comments, but I didn't have a good internet connection until now. The first week of vacation flew by. My 3-year-old fell and got injured in her face, compromising her front teeth, which risk to fall off. We were really scared, because at the moment of her fall she bleeded soooo much! If you are a mom or a dad you might understand what it means to see your toddler's face covered in so much blood you're actually not able to spot where the blood comes from! We took her to the nearest ER and she was in pain for a while and of course, we were worried for her. But the doctor says it was going to be ok soon and she was already in a good mood when we left the hospital, so we decided to stay in Italy and continue our vacation. Her injury healed so fast! It's barely noticeable now, she's enjoying herself and we are happy we finally decided to stay.
Now, let's get into makeup! I have created a new makeup look for the "Zodiac challenge"! As you know, I'm showing more love to the makeup I own instead of buying new items and I challenged myself to create twelve different looks with the BHCosmetics Zodiac palette, one for each sign. The palette has two beautiful colours for "Leo" zodiac sign and today I used those to create this makeup. I hope you like it!

Jul 23, 2018
(Défilez vers le bas pour le Français)
Hello, lovelies! Happy Monday!
I hope you all had a great weekend, we are enjoying the Italian countryside, no mobile, no WiFi (unless we go to the mall in the city) and this is soooo good. Also, there is not air conditioning and it's super hot, so this is not so good, but we'll survive ;) This weekend we've been mainly resting, meeting friends, family and EATING delicious food, so I really don't complain ;) What was your weekend like?
Today, the Monday Shadow Challenge prompted us to use "Red" and "Turquoise" colours. So, I've created a sophisticated, yet simple to do, summer look for anight out! It is a look that will make heads turn but you can achieve it with only three products so it's a super travel friendly makeup look. I hope you like it :)

I'm scheduling this post to be published on Friday. While you are reading this we'll be travelling to Italy for a summer break! I hope we'll have a safe trip, and don't forget to keep up with our adventures on my Instagram Stories :)
Today the "26 Great Nail art Ideas Challenge" prompts us to create a manicure with "Stars"! I am not super fan of "star manicures" so I don't have lots of star-shaped decorations and stuff, but I managed to find something that'd work. Let's take a closer look.

Shopping my stash │Blue Lagoon Makeup Look with Dior
Jul 16, 2018
Hello, lovelies! Happy Monday!
This weekend has been so busy! We will be leaving soon for a summer vacation and I'm trying to have everything ready in advance and see if this time I can have our bags packed the day before departure, lol. I have thought to take a break from blogging while we are away, but then I decided I was going to keep posting but at a lower pace. So I've prepared enough makeup looks and manicures to keep this spot alive during the rest of July and the beginning of August, but there won't be any review or skincare blog post until we come back. That means that I will be posting "only" twice per week, not bad for a vacation right?!
Today, it's time for a new edition of my "shopping my stash" challenge! This month I've been playing with Dior 5 Couleurs #374 Blue Lagoon, which I think is perfect for summer and light colourful looks or more sophisticated ones. Today I'm showing you one the looks I've created with it, I hope you like it :)

As we get ready to watch the Final match for the FIFA World Cup I thought to quickly share with you this week's manicure for the Nail Crazies Unite challenge. The prompt is "Sea Creatures", a very summery theme I'd say! I decided to create a manicure with seahorses and I hope you like it!
Korean Beauty │ The Face Shop 'The Solution' Firming Mask [Review]
Jul 14, 2018
Hi, Sweeties! Happy Saturday!
I haven't posted in the past three days, which is quite unusual for me, right? Two important things are happening that explain it. Firstly, I've started a fitness training program this week, which is taking up a lot of my free time, especially the hours I am supposed to be taking pictures for the blog, haha. Secondly, I'm already in a summer vacation mood! I've been shopping for my children, who grow up like the weed and they don't fit anything from last summer. I've also shopped some swimsuits for myself. I realized I haven't bought a new swimsuit since I was pregnant with my boy (that's 7 summers ago! LOL) So I got three of them. While I've been up to those pleasant tasks I've left the blog a little unattended, I hope you understand.
Today I'd like to share with you my thoughts on a new Facial Mask I've tried and loved! It is The Face Shop "The Solution" Firming Mask*, I tell you more about it after the jump.

Makeup │ Summer Look in Ochre, Orange and Bright Yellow [Monday Shadow Challenge]
Jul 9, 2018
(Défilez vers le bas pour le Français)
Hello, lovelies! Happy Monday!
I had a terrible week last week, and I really needed to take some time off this weekend. By time off I mean time to REALLY rest and do things that would help me relax. Saturday morning I took the time to do my nails properly. It's the first time in years that I'm wearing the same colour on both hands, LOL. Sunday was quiet and relaxing, I prepared brunch for my family, we had a lovely lazy afternoon and in the evening we went to the movies with hubby. It was a date like in the old days. he actually took the children to their grandad while I got ready and then he waited for me downstairs, lol. It was odd-beautiful. When we arrived at the movies we eventually realised the film was spoken in German, which none of us knows enough as to watch a movie without subtitles. We have asked many times before getting the ticket "which language is it in?" and the man assured us it was English with German subtitles. But as it resulted to be German with no subtitles he kindly refunded us. So we ended up having a lovely evening having a drink (or two) on a terrace and chatting instead, which was really nice! Does sometimes happen to you that your original plan doesn't work out but what happens instead is way better?
Today, the Monday Shadow Challenge prompted us to use "Bright Yellow" and "Ochre" colours. So, I've created an easy summer look, done quickly but perfect for any summer evening out! I hope you like it :)
Nail Art │ Silver Arabesques Nail Design [26 Great Nail Art Ideas]
Jul 7, 2018
Hello, lovelies! Happy weekend!
Today the "26 Great Nail art Ideas Challenge" prompts us to create a manicure with our "Least favourite colour" and for the life of me I can't think of a colour I don't like!! I know this sounds ridiculous, but while it is easy for me to spot the three colours I love most, there is none I truly dislike. I like the rest all equally!
So I decided to tweak this challenge a bit and go with a colour that doesn't suit my skintone. Well, that's another story! I love the colour itself, but I think it is not flattering against my skin. I think we've all have an "Unflattering colour" right? For me it is every grey colour with a blue tint! What is your unflattering colour?
Empties │ The products I've used up recently vol. XXXI [Makeup & Skincare]
Jul 6, 2018
Hello, lovelies! Happy Friday!
I'm very happy today because it's been a TERRIBLE week for me and I can't wait for the weekend. I really need to relax, sleep in (if the children allow), indulge in some self-pampering and maybe go to the movies. Nothing too fancy, but I really need to disconnect and have a break.
The month of June ended without me having the occasion to share with you the products I've used up recently, so today, finally, I can give you my feedback on them with this series of mini-reviews.
Skincare │ Treating Skin Imperfections Gently with the new 'Sublimessence' Skincare by Reficis
Jul 5, 2018
Hello, sweeties! How are you today?
I'm super happy, you know, when I talk about good skin care I can't hide or dissimulate my excitement, lol.
I have recently had the pleasure to discover some of the newest products of the Swiss brand REFICIS. They've recently launched a new skincare range called "Sublimessence" that aims to treat skin imperfections gently, boost radiance and regenerate your skin. I like this brand so much because is vegan, organic, cruelty-free and super luxurious. I had the opportunity to try three products from this range: The REFICIS Sublimessence Beautifying Quenching Potion*, The REFICIS Sublimessence Beautifying exfoliating Cream* and the REFICIS Sublimessence Beautifying Regenerating Exfoliator* for the body and I'm ready to share my thoughts with you.
Makeup │Glam Look in Purple and Gold [Monday Shadow Challenge]
Jul 2, 2018
(Défilez vers le bas pour le Français)
Hello, sweeties! Happy Monday!
What a weekend that was! We spent the most delightful Saturday evening at the Open Air Opera Festival in Avanches. It was a perfect evening in every sense I could enjoy every minute of it and I'm so grateful for being able to appreciate such beautiful moments. The weather was perfect, the location so romantic as usual, the show was excellent! I didn't know what to expect of the soloists as I only knew the contralto, but oh my! the Tenor, the Baritone and the Soprano were fantastic. The summum of it all was the closing aria, the final quoator from Rigoletto, it was so fabulously interpreted we had chills running all over!
There was a special magical moment when the orchestra was playing the introduction, a group of swallows came flying in circles right above the stage and they seemed to sing and fly to the rhythm of the music. I couldn't record it because we were a bit far and I only had my phone. But it was unbelievable! You know when you are aware of being the witness of something absolutely marvellous that will probably never occur again? That was exactly my feeling.
As every Monday, I have a new makeup look to share with you. Today, the Monday Shadow Challenge proposed us to use "Purple" and "gold" colours. So, for today's look, I've created a smokey look a bit glamorous, I hope you like it :)
