Polished Polyglot

Hello, sweeties! Only a few days to the end of 2018 and it seems a good moment to look back and recap. I have already shown you and talk to you about the 10 skincare products that rocked my world this year, you can check that here. I have also discovered and used a few wonderful items this 2018 that I am absolutely OBSESSED about! Keep reading to find out which my favourites are :)

Hello, lovelies!

A while ago I started a series of posts that I named "Brand in the spotlight", where I dedicated one blog post to feature only one brand. In this series, I present new (or new to me), big or small,
brands that have some outstanding aspects that call my attention and that I consider they deserve to be featured and shared with you!
Today I'd like to share with you a brand that just arrived in Switzerland at parfumcity.ch: this is Gabriella Salvete. read my review on the products I got* from this brand and the look I've created using them!

Hello, sweeties!

As February is coming to an end, I thought it would be a good moment to share my "Empties". Tubes, bottles and jars of beauty products I've used up recently, so I can give you my feedback with this series of mini-reviews. This month, I've cumulated an obscene quantity of empty bottles, so this time I'm going to talk only about the skincare and makeup products and I will address the body and hair products in a future post.

Hello, sweeties! How are you today?
I'm very excited to show you my new brushes from the Real Techniques Insta-pop Collection! I've been testing these for a while and if you were thinking to get one of these brushes, I think you'd better read about my experience first because it could be somewhat useful. I'll be talking about the Insta-Pop Face brush and the Insta-Pop cheek brush after the jump!

Hello, sweeties! How are you today?
I'm very happy because I recently got my hands on two of the new Real Techniques Blend + Blur Collection and I couldn't wait to share my thoughts about it with you!
The brand of makeup tools created by Sam and Nic has recently launched a new collection of oval brushes. This kind of brushes is very original in that their bristles are disposed perpendicular to the plane of the handle. While this kind of brushes is also known to be very expensive, Real Techniques offers to us their accessible price tag version, synthetic brushes that are also cruelty-free! But do these live up to the real thing? If you are a makeup lover, which of course I am, you probably also pay attention to the tools you use, so keep reading about these new brushes and you might be surprised!

Hello, sweeties, happy Friday!
Today I would like to share with you some excellent news: Wetnwid has launched its Photo Focus range in Switzerland! The new foundation, concealer and pressed powder promise excellent results under every lighting. I've been testing the range and today I'm ready to share with you the swatches, my experience and some before/after photos. Keep reading to find out!

Hello my lovelies!
Last Spring I started a new series of posts in the blog about focusing on one makeup brand at the time, particularly those which call my attention or I find that deserve to be featured and shared with you.
On my first post in this series I've introduced you to a fairly new brand called Bronx Colors, but today I'm going to talk about a brand that may sound familiar to you it is Catrice Cosmetics.

Hello, sweeties! It's been ages since I shared with you the products I've used up. I've cumulated a HUGE amount of empty bottles, but I have decided to leave out all the products that have already been featured in past editions of "the empties" posts and I split the rest into two groups. This time I'm going to talk about the skincare and makeup products and I will address the body and hair products in a future post.
So let's get to it!

Hello, my lovelies! Bonjour!
July was an amazing summer month, but strangely unusual for my family. This is the first time that we take a vacation on July, we usually do it in June or August. July was mostly sunny and hot, ideal for a vacation! So here are my empty bottles for the last month, let's chat about what was in there!

I have a shitty skin, if you allow my expression. Dry, dull, super sensitive, intolerant and acne prone. Say with me: " yay!" (one has to cheer up as one can).

So I'm always looking for what's next and asking for samples, whether it is skincare or makeup, I'm forever in the quest of the perfect product. At one point I realized I have such a huge amount of samples that I started taking simple notes of the ones I try: brand, name of the product and if I like why, or if I don't like it why not (I'm getting old and I forget things). I've seen I'm almost finishing a notebook with those notes on my first impressions of products and I though:  This is totally good material to share with you!

So let's dive in the ocean of samples and testers, shall we?

Hello sweeties! Happy Friday!
Baby is asleep right now, so is the perfect moment to sit down and write this blog post. As every month I'd like to share with you what were the makeup items I used the most this month and what look I've been sporting lately.

This is an scheduled post!!

Hello Sweeties! Today I want to share with you my latest addition to my makeup routine, the new YSL Fusion Ink foundation, also known as "Encre de peau". I am so impressed with it that couldn't wait to share my thoughts about it with you!

Hello my sweeties, how are you doing?
It's been a while since I last shared my make up bag contents with you. My current everyday look is still on the pink nuance, though a bit more pigmented an luminous. Have a look! I'd love to have your feedback.

Hello my sweeties, how are you doing?
Today I was taking a look to my everyday makeup items and noticed many products have changed in my daily makeup routine. And it's been two months since I last shared my make up bag contents with you. My current look is very pink-y and quite dewey! I'd love to have your feedback.

Hello my lovelies! How is your weekend so far? I hope you're enjoying it.
My everyday makeup routine has changed and a bit since the last time I wrote about it, but for the past month I've been using the same items regularly, so I thought I'd write an update on the items that are currently in my makeup bag. I like to do it to keep track on what I wear and also because I'm quite curious about your feedback.

Hello my darlings! How are you doing? We're having such an awful weather here in Switzerland, so definitely the Summer is gone. But I'm still kipping my tan quite fresh, because we did have some really sunny days the past weeks and I thought it would be a nice idea to share with you what I use for everyday makeup these days. Just for the sake of sharing and also kind of keeping "the records"  of what I use I thought to start writing makeup routine's posts.
