Nail Art │ Mint, Black and White Tile Nail Design
May 31, 2019
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!
Makeup │ Midnight Blue with NARS
May 29, 2019
We are slowly coming to the end of May, which means it is already time for a new edition of my "shopping my stash" challenge!
This monthly challenge goes along the lines of "low buy", "no buy" and/or "shop your stash" projects, if you do something similar for yourself, you are of course invited to share your own experience! During the month of May I've chosen to use only one shadow palette (put aside other makeup challenges) by NARS the sexy and versatile "Love Game" palette, which was a limited edition but such a beautiful piece!

Skincare │ Radiant skin with Melvita Lily Oil
May 28, 2019
(Article bilingue Anglais/Français)
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!
Makeup │ Gold, Black And Neon Lips for Summer

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!
Outfit of the day │ Midi Pleated skirt for Spring/Summer
May 19, 2019
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.

Well, of course, it is not completely black because my accessories are grey!

(Défilez vers le bas pour le Français)
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!

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, 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!
