Polished Polyglot

Hello, sweeties!
It's been a long time since I posted here, I've been investing my time in some personal matters, I promise you to update you soon on that! Today, I have some really exciting news to share with you! I've been testing a new vegan and toxin-free nail polish brand: Maggie Anne. The brand carries some really outstanding colours and I wanted to give you my own impressions about it.
Keep reading to find out all about the brand, the quality of the nail polishes and to see the pretty colours worn on the nails!

Hello, sweeties! Happy Sunday!

I'm very excited to share my outfit post this week because it is about a piece I absolutely ADORE: a white broderie dress for summer!! White cotton or linen dresses are the perfect choice for your summer event, outdoor party, BBQ party, beach party, a simple picnic with your significant other, any family reunion, you name it! (Except a wedding, please, don't wear a white dress as a guest to a wedding, that's usually the colour reserved to the bride).
I know for moms in general white is not the most practical option, but I've wanted a white summer dress for so long, I just had to give in! Finding the right one wasn't an easy task. I ordered 7 different dresses (was that 8?)  from different shops until I found the one I wanted to keep. If you follow my Instagram Stories, you've seen and probably even voted for the dress I've finally kept, now I'm in love with it!! Were you wondering "how are you going to wear a white dress??", well, white goes practically with everything, you don't really need a tan to pull it off you just need the right white for you. Today, I am going to show you two of the many ways I style my white dress for different occasions and give you a few tips about finding the right dress for you!

Hello, my lovelies! Happy Friday!

I hope you had a great week and you are planning a wonderful weekend! Today I have a new nail design to share with you, these are my "Summer Vacation" nails for the"Nail Stamping Sisterhood" challenge. I hope you like it!

Hello, lovelies!
I was so impatient to write this post, as I have owned the "Born to Run" eyeshadow palette for such a long time now and I never got to show you any makeup done with it!!  I got this palette at the beginning of last year, but I haven't used it much, what a pity! It is a gorgeous palette suitable for every season and every occasion. Today,  I've created a warm summer makeup look with it, I'm also giving you my personal opinion on the palette :) I hope you like it!

Hello, sweeties! How are you today? I'm super excited because I have super good news for all the nail polish lovers! OPI will soon be launching the NEON Collection for Summer 2019 in Collaboration with Converse!! Not only the colours are bright and super fun, you'll be also be able to match them with your favourite Converse shoes! Take a look at this preview.

Happy Monday, sweeties!

It is a bank holiday here in Switzerland, so we are enjoying a long weekend! What about you? Is it a bank holiday where you live?
We've spent a lovely but rainy weekend, we could share a moment with friends and family and it was awesome! We attended a lunch party in honour of my Godson who already got his Confirmation and it was amazing, it was emotional, fun and we had the most delicious food, as always the best time, whatever the weather, with our dear friends.
Today, I would like to share with you a nail design I created for the "When Colors Collide" nail art challenge.  This week's challenge was about the colours nude and gold, such a lovely combo! I think nude and gold manicures are perfect for the season. Check out what I've created with these colours!

Hello, lovelies!
How is the month of June treating you so far? It feels like summer around here, we've been enjoying it a lot! The summer school break is approaching and I'm super excited for our next Summer vacation (although that will happen at the end of July, I can't wait!!). Today, it is time to show you a new edition of my Zodiac Makeup Challenge! As every month, I've used my  BH Cosmetics Zodiac LOVE SIGNS palette to create a look inspired by a Zodiac sign and today it is the turn  of GEMINI colours. Last year I have used the first edition of the Zodiac palette all the year round creating different looks inspired in each Zodiac sign, and this year I count on doing the same thing with the second edition of this Palette!
Let's have a look!

Hello, sweeties! Happy Sunday!

It's time for a new "Fashion" post. In summer we like going out more, especially with the children, and that involves some playing and other activities that require outfits that allow me to be comfortable and that are easy to wash (small fingers dirty with chocolate ice cream, mud, and other unidentified substances will definitely be all over the place, LOL). But this doesn't mean you have to abandon every bit of style!! As a mom of young children, you have many options of simple, yet cute, pieces that will allow you to enjoy your day with the kids and look put together at the same time. Today I show you how I style a trendy piece like the Paperbag skirt in a super comfortable outfit to spend a hot summer afternoon outdoors with the family!!

Happy Friday, sweeties!

We are currently having a 4-day weekend and today it feels like Saturday to me really, LOL!
What about you? Is it a bank holiday where you live?
Last week, I was feeling ill, so I didn't do new nail art designs, obviously, there wasn't a Nail Art post either! But the "When Colors Collide" nail art challenge was doing "mint, black and white" nails which is such a beautiful combination that I couldn't skip it. For a long time I wanted to do a nail design inspired by tiles, I thought today's colours would be perfect for that. Keep reading to find out how to create these nails!

Hello, lovelies!
Guess who has been testing (yet) a new face oil and it is ready to share her opinion with you? Yes! it's me! (again.. not bored yet?). Those who read my blog frequently know already my struggle with skin hyperpigmentation and lack of lustre. But if you are new around here (welcome!!), please, wait to hear about this new finding of mine!
Lily Oil. What? Wait, I've never heard of Lily oil before! It is an ingredient that aims to give radiance to the skin making it look brighter, and of course younger, how is it that I did not know that? Neither did you? Well, keep reading then, because the French Organic brand Melvita has conceived a way to put Lily Oil* into a bottle. It is not a secret, it is more affordable than you'd think and it is a little skincare gem!

Bonjour mes beautés! 
Devinez qui a testé (encore) une nouvelle huile pour le visage et qui est prête à partager son opinion avec vous? Oui! c'est moi! (.. pas trop ennuyé encore?). Ceux qui suivent mon blog connaissent déjà ma lutte contre l'hyperpigmentation de la peau et le manque d'éclat. Mais si vous êtes nouveau par ici (bienvenu !!), attendez d’entendre parler de cette nouvelle trouvaille!
Il s'agit de l'Huile de lis. Quoi? Attendez, je n'ai jamais entendu parler de l'huile de lis avant! C'est un ingrédient qui vise à redonner de l'éclat à la peau en la rendant plus lumineuse et, bien sûr, d'une apparence plus jeune. Comment se fait-il que je ne le sache pas? Vous non plus? Alors, continuez à lire, car la marque française de produits biologiques Melvita a mis au point un moyen de mettre de l'huile de lis* en bouteille. Ce n'est pas un secret, c'est plus abordable que vous ne le pensez et c'est un petit bijou pour le soin de la peau!

Happy Monday, sweeties!
I'm baaaaaack! 
No, I didn't go anywhere. I've been absent from the blog and Social Media in the past week, I got the nasty flu, this time it really caught me hard! I could not for the life of me get my butt out of bed, my head was dizzy and I felt weak and useless most of the week. But today I'm already feeling better, so I'm here, ready to share with you my latest makeup look.
Today's challenge should combine Gold and Black, but, honestly, I didn't feel like doing a heavy black smokey eye, I've combined these two colours in a more dramatic way here (if you're interested). But my half-sick-pale-AF me could not pull off black eyeshadow right now. So I went for a luminous and bright summer look with black eyeliner and that's all the black you're gonna get from me today! ;) So, here you are, my look in gold, coral and a teeny tiny bit of black. I hope you like it!

Hello, sweeties! Happy Sunday!

In today's "outfit" post, I'd like to talk about another trend that started last year and stays strong this year too: Pleated skirts! I hesitated to adopt this trend because pleated skirts are not the most flattering on my body shape. Until I saw this printed skirt in shades of blue and fell for it, especially for its flowy fabric. I thought it would be fresh and comfortable for the warm months ahead all while being quite chic, so I finally adopted it! Here is how I style my spring Pleated Skirt.

Hello, my sweeties! Happy Friday!
I am super excited today, not only because we hit the month of Love, but mainly because I have swatched the new OPI Soft Shades Collection "Always Bare for You"For Spring 2019. The soft shades nail polishes collection by OPI are the must-have for the wedding season that's just started! Six delicatly soft, elegant and super feminine colours that will complete the looks of the Bride, the bridesmaids, the mom, the auntie and the grandma, everyone really!! Today I show you what these beautiful colours look like on the nails and what was my experience applying and wearing these six new nail polishes. ♥♥♥

Hello, my lovelies! How is your week so far?
I'm so looking forward to the weekend as we'll be celebrating our girl's fourth birthday! I still have to get a lot of stuff done, but I'm really impatient for her party!
Other than that, just the usual, I'm always running after my list of things to do, forever postponing less urgent stuff for later, but today I just had to talk to you about some of the products I've finished lately, because I've been keeping them for quite a while and it's gotten totally out of hand! Today, I'll focus on hair and body care products, I hope you find this one useful.

Hello, lovelies! How are you today?

Hello, sweeties! Happy Sunday! Happy Mother's day!

I hope all moms out there had a wonderful mother's day, I certainly did! You can check my Instagram stories for a few snaps of this lovely family Sunday ;)
Today, I'd like to share with you an outfit idea that may seem very banal, but it is waaaaay out of my comfort zone: a total black outfit. Well, of course, it is not completely black because my accessories are grey! But for a dinner date with the hubby in Rome, I thought it would look quite elegant to dress all in black, without losing my comfy side of course ;) Let's take a closer look to it!

Hello, lovelies! Happy Friday!
Today I'd like to talk to you about one of my latest additions to my organic skincare routine, it is Melvita Argan Concentré Pur Youthful fluid*, so much more than a simple moisturizer! It promises to smoothen, firm and hydrate the skin giving it a more youthful appearance. I have tested it and today I tell you all about it!

Bonjour les belles! Joyeux vendredi!
Aujourd'hui, j'aimerais vous parler de l'un des derniers ajouts à ma routine de soin de la peau bio: le Melvita Argan Concentré Pur Fluide Jeunesse *, bien plus qu'un simple hydratant! Il promet de lisser, raffermir et hydrater la peau en lui donnant un aspect plus jeune. Je l'ai testé et aujourd'hui je vous raconte tout!

Happy humpday, sweeties!
I've been absent from the blog in the past two days, I usually post for the Monday Shadow Challenge on Mondays, haha. But I've been focused on my new workout program and I'm super exhausted at the end of the day, I don't find the energy to blog! Hopefully, this physical effort will serve the purpose of making me gain muscles which will eventually benefit all my body, my health, my longevity, my mood and my energy levels, as well. But as every process, it takes time and PAIN to achieve a goal!! LOL. In the meantime, bear with me, please.
Today's challenge should combine Turquoise and Grey, honestly, I don't like grey on me, or with any colour! So, my look in Turquoise has brown, bronze, gold and coral, and a teeny, tiny bit of grey in the outer corner, I hope you like it!

Hello, sweeties! Happy Sunday!

In today's "outfit" edition, I'd like to talk about a trend that started last Fall and stays strong this year! Paperbag pants! I've been repeating that I'm not one to follow trends blindly, but this is a trend that I adopted because it is so "me". Besides, this trend has been going strong for three seasons now, we can safely say it is here to stay, right? Let's take a look to my way to style my spring paperbag pants!

Hello, my lovelies! Happy Friday!

This week I haven't had time to create an intricate nail art design. However, my nails are not naked, and they are actually decorated! It took me only 3 minutes to do this nails and I thought, although they are nothing special, it could be interesting to share with you soe simple things you can do to have lovely nails even when you don't have much time. What do you say? Interested?

Hello, lovelies! Happy May!!
I hope you had a wonderful month of April and that you're starting the new month with plenty of energy! I'm happy that May is finally here because it is the month of my daughter's birthday, mother's day and pretty flowers! It is also a month ruled mainly by the Zodiac sign of Taurus, and as every month, I've used my  BH Cosmetics Zodiac LOVE SIGNS palette to create a look inspired by TAURUS colours. Last year I have used the first edition of the Zodiac palette all the year round creating different looks inspired in each Zodiac sign, and this year I count on doing the same thing with the second edition of this Palette!
Let's have a look!

Happy Monday, sweeties!
We are having a lovely Spring so far, typical rainy weather in the past few days, but nothing we wouldn't know about April already. We're expecting some sunny days towards the end of the week, and this is energizing me.
In total honesty, I'm glad we're having some rain, because this gives me a break with allergies, when the weather is wet, pollen does not fly around and I feel much much better! Does this happen to you too?
It's time for a makeup challenge! The Monday Shadow Challenge thought Green and pink would be a nice combination for spring and, in my opinion, they had that right! I love green and pink as they create a lovely soft, luminous and fresh look! take a look!

Hello, sweeties! Happy Sunday!

Today's fashion Post is focused on comfort and practicality (well actually most of my outfits are, lol). Far behind are the days when I used to sport cute kitten heels and fancy outfits for visiting a city! Yes, I've done it in my 20's, but now visiting with two kids and stying all day out, a comfortable (and durable) outfit is a must. This doesn't mean your clothes need to be boring or not feminine!!

Check out my ideas to make your visiting day comfortable and chic ;)

Hello, my lovelies! Happy weekend!

April showers are not dissapointing and the month is coming to an end with rainy weather around here, which inspired the manicure I'm showing you today! This is a blue "Pond" manicure I did for the"Nail Stamping Sisterhood" challenge. I hope you like it!

Last February (yes I know, I took my time), I received from Attitude Bio the most generous parcel of skincare items for me to try and test. The Swiss store Attitude Bio only carries natural and organic cosmetic brands, like the French Brand I'm going to talk about today: Melvita. It was my first time using Melvita care products for the face and I introduce not only one product but a whole curated routine! Five new products, to cover all my skin needs, today it's time to share my experience with some of them!

En février dernier (oui, je sais, j'ai pris mon temps), Attitude Bio m'a offert le plus généreux colis d'articles de soin de la peau à essayer. La boutique et distributeur suisse Attitude Bio propose uniquement des marques de cosmétiques naturels et biologiques, à l'instar de la marque française dont je vais vous parler aujourd'hui: Melvita. C'était la première fois que j'utilisais des produits de soin Melvita pour le visage et je vous présente non seulement un produit, mais toute une routine organisée! Cinq nouveaux produits couvrant tous les besoins de ma peau, il est temps de partager mon expérience avec certains d'entre eux!

Happy Monday, sweeties!
I'm back! Last week I decided to take a break from blogging, I think I was having a "blogging burnout" :O !!!
I've been sleeping very little in the past few weeks, my average sleep was around 4:30 hours per night, including weekends of course. I started feeling terribly fatigued and decided to put the blog in pause and take more care of myself. In fact, I usually work late hours for the blog, when the children are already in bed, that's a time I'm not sleeping! I decided to tweak a couple of things in my routine. also, I wasn't feeling the urge of posting and sharing as I usually do, despite of having a lot of new products to test and stories to share... I took that as a sign and decided to slow down.
I spent a gorgeous sunny long weekend for Easter, with the family, my children are a great source of energy for me. I also spent a fair time working out and planning my meals in a healthier more nutritious way for me (I'm trying to lose some weight but without losing muscle and It's not as easy as it sounds!!). So, what has been keeping you busy lately?

Now, let's get into makeup!  It's time for a new Monday Shadow Challenge,"this week the challenge is a bit special because it's all about "PINK"! Yes, that's right! Two or more shades of pink combined in one same look. I thought this could be a good idea for a look a bit modern and also Kawai, I hope you will like my makeup :)

Happy Monday, sweeties!
We just came back from our short trip to Rome, we spent a lovely time there, sun, rain, sun, rain, sun, many wonderful moments with the kids, the highlight of it being their first time to the Stadium to support their team AS Roma. We ate delicious food, we visited some wonderful historical monuments, we walked a lot, we slept too little and had too many ice creams! It was a great experience to be back there after many years.

Now, let's get into makeup!  It's time for a new Monday Shadow Challenge. "Blue" and "Grey", are the colours for this week, I must say this is spot on inspiration for April's sky! it turns from blue to grey to blue again in just a few hours! lol. I hope you will like my makeup :)

Hello, my lovelies! Happy Friday!

I'm currently in Rome for a Short Spring Break with my family, So far things aren't happening exactly as planned, my son caught some stomach bug and he's been sick all day. Hubby hit the pharmacy and got some medicine for our son's tummy, fingers crossed he'll be feeling better tomorrow! You see this trip was a present for our son, we actually came all the way here to see a football game tomorrow, we have tickets to the stadium to support my son's favourite team, so it will be really not cool if he couldn't attend! Please, keep your fingers crossed for him getting well soon!!

Today I have a new manicure to share with you! I've been playing with the new OPI Tokyo Collection for Spring Summer 2019 and I came up with a couple of new nail arts! Today I show you my manicure with Spring blossoms, I hope you like it!

Spring break started today here in Biel and all we can think of is our much awaited trip to Rome! The countdown has started! Have you ever been to Rome?

Today, it's time for a new Monday Shadow Challenge.  This time I've created a softer look for spring, to change a little bit after all my bright crazy looks lately, LOL! The colours for the challenge are "Dusty Rose" and "Warm Brown", I'd say this is one very wearable look, check it out!

Hello, sweeties! Happy Sunday!

Here I am, with a new "Fashion" post to share with you! Today I'd like to chat with you about another piece that I consider a wardrobe staple: The Biker Leather Jacket.  I think it is a basic piece that never goes out of style and gives many styling possibilities, without mentioning that it is very practical during mid-season weather.
Keep reading to find out how I adapt the Biker leather Jacket to my feminine style with a romantic touch.

Hello, my lovelies!!
I hope you are all doing fine. I had a very busy week so I couldn't prepare a new manicure for you this time. However, I thought to put together a post featuring 10 nail art ideas in Pastel colors! Normally, I don't care much about pastel colours, I'm more of a vibrant colours kind of girl, however, I do like some pastel looks, especially in Spring and especially for Easter! I think they are sweet and they would pair almost with anything. Keep reading to find out!

Hello, lovelies!
I was so impatient to write this post, as I have a new makeup palette and I'm super excited about it!  A couple of weeks ago I have received my Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera palette and couldn't wait to show it to you! It is a rare gem with very bold colour choice, definitely a very special palette but not for everyone! I've created a Sunset makeup look with it, and made it really bold, :) Keep reading to find out if this palette is a good choice for you!

Hello, my lovelies! How are you today!
The months are starting to pass really quickly, I can't believe is already time for an "Empties" post again!
I have a huge amount of empty products this time, so I was hesitating about doing a video! Many of you opted for an Empties video on Instagram Stories to my question, so next month I'll be doig a video instead of a blogpost ;) I still have to fine tune the filming part (read: I need a camera other than my phone!! LOL) but those are just "details" aren't they?
It was impossible to fit all my empty products, which keep cumulating in one post, so I divided them into categories, and this month I'm sharing with you the skincare products that I've used up!
Let's take a closer look at my mini reviews :)

Happy Monday, sweeties!
How was your weekend? Mine was fantastic! The city is blooming and you can smell Spring everywhere. It is the perfect time for changing the wardrobe into a lighter one and also the makeup looks into brighter colours.

Today, for the Monday Shadow Challenge I've created a bright look for spring using "Light green" and "Forest green",of course I threw a bright coral lipstick in the mis!  Keep reading to find out how to create this look ;)

Happy Friday, sweeties!

What a week that was! We are SO ready for the weekend! What about you? The sky promises to be clear blue for a few more days (rare thing around here) so the colour blue seems the most appropriate for my manicure today!
The"When Colors Collide" nail art challenge is doing "blue" nails this week and the "NAil Art Stamping sisterhood" prompted us to used the "smoosh" technique. So I combined the two prompts and got a manicure in different shades of blue, I really hope you like it!

Hello, my lovelies! How are you?
I'm super excited to be sharing with you my latest makeup discovery! I have tried many organic products in my life but not really much makeup items, so I was very curious to know how the Dark Circle concealer of the French Organic brand "Couleur Caramel" would perform on me! Have you tried Organic makeup before?  Keep reading to find out more about this product and my personal experience with it.

Happy Monday, sweeties!
I hope you all had a lovely weekend! Spring is in the air around here! The sunny weather and longer days put me in the best mood! I love having long luminous days I feel with more energy and this reflects in my makeup as I am willing to wear bolder and crighter colours.

Today, for the Monday Shadow Challenge are "Yellow" and "Rose Gold",a luminous and cheerful combo to celebrate the arrival of spring!  Keep reading to find out how to create this look ;)

Hello, sweeties! Happy Sunday!

We are having such beautiful sunny weather! But during the Spring the weather is very unstable here in Switzerland. Rain can happen any minute, mornings are cold and the temperatures rise fast during the day. The best way to brave all those weather changes is having some versatile clothing in your wardrobe and layering them!!

When you have a long day ahead, the Trench Coat is a great ally! It is formal enough for a smart working outfit, but also suitable for a date, or a more casual look, even with jeans. It is one of those clothing staples so versatile during Spring. Today I share with you how I style my Trench coat for a date night after work. I hope you like it!

Hello, my lovelies! Happy weekend!

What a beautiful sunny day we are having today! We've been out and about with the children enjoying the sun I hope you are enjoying it too.
The first week of Spring is usually as disappointing as very much attended. But this year, it seems the nice sunny weather is right on time with the season changing! Today I went out and had a walk without a jacket!! It was sooooo nice.
It's time to change the wardrobe to fresher clothes and the nail polish to brighter colours! That's why I invite you to take a look at my yellow and white manicure with daisies for the "Nail Stamping Sisterhood" challenge. I hope you like it!

Happy Spring, lovelies!
The sun is out, the sky is blue and Spring is here!
What a better way to celebrate Spring for a makeup addict than with a luminous pink makeup look? Today I use the fabulous  BH Cosmetics Zodiac LOVE SIGNS palette using the colours for Aries sign. Last year I have used the first edition of the Zodiac palette all the year round creating different looks inspired in each Zodiac sign, and this year I count on doing the same thing with the second edition of this Palette!
Shall we take a closer look?

Happy Monday, sweeties!
I took an involuntary break from blogging last week, as you could see I haven't posted since last Monday, except for a contribution article about skincare trends. I have been feeling terribly tired, I also caught some kind of flu, mixed with my spring allergies, but above all is this persistent fatigue that drains all my energy! What can I do? My hubby says I should call the doctor for a check up...

Today, finally, I have a new makeup look to show you. This week, the colours for the Monday Shadow Challenge are "Lapiz Blue" and "Coral", what a fine combo!! I took this occasion to sport one of my most belovedd and cherished lipsticks, the only highend colour I have used up and repurchased! Curious? Keep reading ;)

Say goodbye to pastel shades and subtle lip-gloss for the spring of 2019, because bold and “out there” looks are taking over the beauty industry this season. Every chic, confident woman knows the importance of clear, supple, and youthful looking skin. Of course, with new brands popping up with all kinds of innovative products, it is no wonder that beauty enthusiasts have a hard time constantly chasing the newest, spiciest trends. Nevertheless, experts claim that this year will truly be revolutionary when it comes to achieving that „glow up“every young lady strives for. So, what exactly has the beauty industry have in store for us mere mortals? Here are some of the hottest skincare trends you definitely do not want to miss out on.

Achieve that goddess-like glow

Whether it is a cream, liquid or powder highlighter; a generous amount of gold-tinted glow on the cheekbones is a must for the spring of 2019. Artists such as Rihanna have launched lush products which draw out the glow from within and enhance the already radiant complexion. So, why would you miss out on this trend and not look like a goddess drenched in gold all year long? However, women who shy away from the bold look can easily go for a more subtle glimmer. By mixing a tad bit of liquid highlighter with your favourite foundation, you are able to sheer it out, whilst still looking dewy and hot. Naturally, make-up is not the only thing you should consider if you want radiant looking skin. Remember to make positive lifestyle changes, keep hydrated, have a balanced diet and get enough sleep.

Painless surgical procedures

It is not a secret that no one likes looking older, which is why women (and men) spend a fortune yearly on different products claiming to erase pores and wrinkles, whilst the last option remains considering getting a surgical procedure. The very first step someone considering a surgical procedure should take is finding the right doctor. Most importantly, the doctor needs to be board-certified and experienced in the field. Unfortunately, not a lot of people are aware of the importance of taking extra precautions when choosing a professional. Luckily, people who are interested in soft-tissue injectables and anti-wrinkle treatments can consult with experts at Panthea clinic in Sydney or any other clinic close to them. Potential patients, usually young women, need to realize the degree of importance when it comes to consulting prior to the procedure itself. Always keep in mind to go the extra step and find the best clinic in your area! So, listen to your friends and family for recommendations, or read online reviews to help you choose a suitable option for you. When it comes to achieving a more youthful appearance, it is certain that filler injections are the way to go. Hyaluronic acid is ideal because it directly sinks into the skin via the injections thus moisturizing the skin from within.

Bakuchiol

Rough retinol treatments get out of the way; bakuchiol is in the spotlight! This seemingly weirdly named ingredient is considered as the best natural alternative for retinol (and it has no side-effects). Bakuchiol is derived from the babchi plant famously used in Ayurvedic medicine, and it has a wide array of beneficial properties for overall skincare. Besides boosting collagen levels (collagen is a must for youthful looking skin!), it has been clinically proven to smooth out wrinkles and get rid of hyper-pigmentation. Indie brands and more commercial ones use this powerhouse ingredient in a lot of their products to combat aging and skin damage. In addition, overnight serums which mix bakuchiol with vitamin c are also available, so it is easy to wake up feeling refreshed and glowing.

Hemp seed oil 

One natural ingredient in particular, which sometimes gets a bad rep among people who fail to educate themselves on the matter, is the famous hemp seed oil. With the fitness and health community on the rise, it is no wonder that hemp crept its way into the clutches of the beauty industry this spring. As a matter of fact, tons of beauty gurus swear by this fatty acid-rich powerhouse traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for centuries. Hemp oil, most commonly harvested by cold pressing the seeds is known for controlling oil production (so it is especially beneficial for oil-prone skin), reducing inflammation and hyper-pigmentation, and it is an effective way to combat the premature aging of the skin.

Fake tan craze

Everyone looks better with a tan going on. End of the discussion. Not only does a slight tan give you a healthier appearance, but it can also visually make you look slimmer and glowing from within. Unfortunately, a natural sun-kissed tan does not last all year long, and it is gone in a matter of weeks after the holidays have passed. Nevertheless, the newest obsession every single beauty enthusiast cannot live without is a quality fake tan. So, instead of exposing yourself to the harmful UV rays of the sun, opt for a tanner with the most natural ingredients. Stay safe and glow all year round!

The bottom line is, trends come and go, so it is left entirely up to you which one you like the best. Most importantly, do not forget to keep your head high this spring and slay the skincare game.
