Makeup │ Glossy Black and red for NYE [Monday Shadow Challenge]
Hello, sweeties! Happy LAST Monday of 2018!!
How are you planning to receive the year 2019? Are you going to celebrate it in some special way? Are you gathering with lots of friends or you prefer a more intimate and quiet celebration? We'll receive the year at my parent's house, with my brother's family and ours, and my father will make his famous "asado" which is a traditional Argentine barbecue!
Today I have my last makeup of the year for the "Monday Shadow Challenge" to share with you. This time I tried a Glossy black with glitter and red lips for a glam look, the result is less than perfect, but still wearable, lol.
I wish you all the best for the upcoming New Year!!

Makeup │ Sparkling Rose Gold look using Norvina Palette
Hello, sweeties! How are you?!
I hope you had a Merry Christmas! It's been a while since I posted here. The thing is, I am too busy enjoying with my family back in my home country and I swear it's quite lively here! I arrived to Argentina last Thursday and since then I have: visited the new Aquarium of my city, done some last minute Christmas shopping, had the first birthday party of my niece, attended a semi-marathon and a children's marathon, hosted a Christmas Eve dinner party and also had a wonderful Christmas celebration with the family. it has been a very intense 5 days considering it all happens above 30°C (85°F).
Today I have a new makeup for the "Monday Shadow Challenge", yes, I know it is already Wednesday, lol, but I wanted to share this nonetheless. As you know, the whole month of December the main theme is glitter! This week, we are prompted to use "Rose gold" and "gold glitter"! So, this is what I came up with, I hope you like it!
Nail Art │ Ugly Sweater Holiday Manicure
Hello, sweeties! Happy Friday!
I arrived yesterday to my parent's home in Argentina after 24 hours travel. I didn't have time to share on Social media because I was too busy living the moment. I haven't been to my home country in two years and the reunion with my parents, my brother and nephews and my sister in law was full of emotion and we had so much to talk about!!
We have a lot of plans for this weekend and for the upcoming holidays, but I also have a lot of content to share with you, I just don't know when I will find the time haha! Given the fact that we have also 4 hours difference. My plan for the blog schedule for the next three weeks, is to post on Mondays and Fridays evenings, maybe once more on Wednesday if I have the time. Let's see if I will make it ;)
Today the "Nail Stamping Sisterhood" Facebook Group proposed us to make a manicure with "Ugly Sweater" theme, which is a very popular theme in this season, especially in the northern hemisphere! LOL Dusing my childhood and youth I lived in Argentina where is a very torrid summer during Christmas and New Years' festivities. Those festivities never included "ugly sweaters" or any other sweater, so this is something I learned when I moved to Switzerland 15 years ago. What about you? Is it cold or warm during Holiday Season where you live?
I hope you will like my manicure :)
10 Skincare Products that Rocked my World in 2018
Generally speaking, the concern for taking care of one's skin has grown in recent years. It's not only my impression! Call it a trend, or awareness that comes with the new generations, truth is that the earlier you start caring for your skin, the longer you will profit of a youthful looking skin. This is like maths, right?
Of course, the skincare industry is in a flourishing moment, new brands, new products, reviewed formulations, new techniques, appear everyday and it can be a bit overwhelming, right?
I considered myself a beauty freak and even I feel overwhelmed by all the newness all the time!
But there is nothing to panic about because there is no point in trying everything (if that was even humanly possible) just focusing on what works for YOU.
This year, I had the opportunity to test many (I really mean MANY) new and not so new, skincare products and found a few little gems that completely changed the game for me. Keep reading to find out what I'm talking about!
Makeup │ Festive Copper Glitter look using Huda Beauty Palette
Hello, sweeties! Happy Monday!!
We had such a busy weekend it didn't feel like one. We went up and down trying to get everything ready for our trip to Argentina! Cleaning, laundry, scheduling stuff during our absence, shopping the last few things and GROCERIES, because we need to eat the next few days!
We are leaving on Wednesday and I still haven't got everything sorted out, expecially the blog content I was planning to share with you for the next three weeks, but we will make it in the end as we always do. I was thinking to keep posting twice per week, we shall see if I manage to do that! What about you? How was your weekend?
Today I have a new makeup for the "Monday Shadow Challenge". As you know, the whole month of December the main theme is GLITTAH!!!! This week, we are prompted to use "Copper" and "Copper glitter"! So, this is what I came up with, I hope you like it!

Nail Art │ Winter nail desing in Purple, Gold and White
Happy Friday, lovelies!
I hope your week was nice and easy. Mine was a bit more complicated than I wished for, but nothing major really. Early this week, my blog decided to stop loading, I made a few emergency changes, but there are some really annoying consequences that make me want to change platform. Blogger is really bugging me. That'll be a resolution for next year, migrating my ginormous blog to Wordpress. I'm working on getting a new template, a new design for the blog very soon! In the meantime, I'm happy the comment section is up and running again, after 4 days without it. So if you have left a comment in those days, it is unfortunately lost now :(
Other than that, life has been really sweet to me, I have the most wonderful kids (every mom thinks that, bear with me), hubby has been in his semiannual "World Tour" haha, he's been travelling for business to Mexico, the US and Canada, so we haven't seen him in a while, but he'll be back this afternoon, and we are sooooo excited!
In other news, we have a very bright future ahead! Tomorrow, Saturday, my 3-year-old daughter will attend her mate's Birthday party, it is the first time she gets invited anywhere and we are so thrilled! My baby has a social life of her own! Awww...
Sunday 9th is my birthday and I'm eager to turn 39, it's my last year of this decade and I'll be sure to enjoy it before I hit 40. I have so many plans for this year!
Also, in a few more days, we'll be heading to Argentina, my home country! I can't tell you how excited I am about it, I haven't seen my brother, my sister and their families in two years! I have a one-year-old niece that I've never met personally! I've seen my parents for the last time in the Spring of 2017, my son has grown 15cm since then.
Life is happening so fast right now, you couldn't believe, we have quite a lot on our plates, Christmas recitals in the school and daycare, parents' meeting at the school, Church reunion for Christmas, preparatives for our trip to Argentina, plus all the usual life things of work, house chores (I have so much laundry to fold I have baptized my pile as the "Himalaya"), sport, homework, blogging, etc. So I'm taking it easy, I want to enjoy all the things and not rushing crazily through it, after all, life is very short, isn't it?
Well, you see? I just wrote a book, LOL. But that's why I write so frequently! I prefer to keep it short (believe me I've been very succinct above) if I could I'd write a post daily, but then, I have a life too, haha.
Let's get into this week's nail art, shall we? The Facebook Groups "When Colors Collide" prompted us to create manicures using the following colours "Purple, Gold and White", here is what I came up with! I hope you like it :)
Makeup │ Shimmery Green and Burgundy Look for the Sign of Sagittarius [Zodiac Makeup Challenge]
Hello, sweeties!
How are you today? I haven't posted in the past two days because I've been experiencing some difficulties with my blog code, the server, and whatever it is, is making my blog load very slowly. I am zero for anything related to webmasters, so I have my people working on it. I'll also seize the opportunity to give my blog a makeover, so stay tuned to see the final results!
Meanwhile, I've prepared for you a new Zodiac inspired makeup. This year, I decided to use more, in new creative ways, the makeup I own instead of buying new items. That is why I challenged myself to create twelve different looks with the BHCosmetics Zodiac palette, one for each sign. Today, I created a Sagittarius look for the "Zodiac challenge"the last one of this challenge! yay!
The look in green I came up with, called for a burgundy lipstick, I hope you like it!
