Happy Monday, my lovelies!
I'm officially knackered, after having too much wine last night and a romantic evening with the hubby, I only got 4 hours of sleep and spent most of my Monday wandering around trying to remember "what was I going to do" and falling asleep in every corner! Definitely, this kind of things isn't for me anymore! LOL, I need my good night of sleep to be somewhat productive! What about you? what is your minimum required sleeping? Mine would be 5h30, anything under that and I'm a zombie!

As every Monday, I have a new makeup look to show you. This week, the Monday Shadow Challenge combines "Burgundy" and "Green", not to criticize the organizer of this challenge, but it seems to me we've been having Burgundy as a colour a little too often! I am not going to lie, I like a nice sexy burgundy lip in winter, but I've done this three times this year already! I wanted to change things up little and REALLY CHALLENGE MYSELF UP! So this time I created a look it's totally NOT MY STYLE. This is so out of my comfort zone I even hesitated to publish here, but HEY! What kind of challenge would that be if that was easy? So here it goes my look with GREEN LIPS! I hope you find it interesting!

Hello, my lovelies! How are you today?

I'm very happy these days! There are so many things I'd like to share with you, not enough time! Many cool things are happening that put me in the best mood. The past weekend we were invited by the lovable people of Wildhorn Fine Cosmetics of Switzerland to the opening if their first store, in Crans-Montana. I will be telling you every detail of this event in a later post. But what can I say about Crans, that place is so beautiful! Hubby and I spent the weekend there and had a very relaxing (child-free) time. We also caught the (rare) occasion of stress-free set up to do a small fashion photo shoot for the blog. I've been caressing the idea of including a fashion section -with my own twist, that is- to this blog for far too long. The fact of not having a photographer was a bummer. Then my hubby "voluntarily" (haha, he wishes!) proposed himself as "Instagram husband". LOL It was a bit weird at first, but at the end we really enjoyed it, I must say it exceeded my expectations. I will be sharing those photos with you soon!

As you may have noticed, I haven't posted my makeup look on a Monday, as I usually do. The reason being, this week is "Sportswoche" or "Semaine Blanche" here in Biel, it means children don't have school and I spent the day with them yesterday, no time for editing for this mama. So, I'm posting today, the Monday Shadow Challenge combining "Mustard Yellow" and "Green" two colours that are terribly trendy this season!! I think that my look is quite wearable even though the colours are a bit out of my comfort zone. I hope you like it!

Hello, sweeties! Happy Monday!

Yesterday, was a very beautiful Sunday. We had the chance to visit a part of Switzerland we didn't know. We went to the Bernese Oberland, where we took the train ascending from Wilderswill to Shynige Platte station, which is placed at 1967m (645 ft) above the sea level. The travel itself was absolutely delightful! You wouldn't believe the beauty of the landscape even if I tried to explain it with words. Once up there we had a drink at the terrace of a hotel placed on the edge of the mountain and the view was spectacular. There is the possibility to go hiking as well, we didn't because it is quite a physical challenge for a 3yo child like my girl, but we will surely be back in a couple of years to do the hiking part! You can have a glimpse of our adventure on my Instagram Stories. What was the last unbelievably beautiful landscape you saw?

Like every week, it's the moment of sharing our "Monday Shadow Challenge" looks. This time I prepared quite a crazy loud makeup with the colours "Turquoise" and "Emerald Green". I thought this would be appropriate for a "Mermaid" look now that Halloween is approaching. I don't like much costumes that are very frightening or too realistic, with lots of (fake)blood involved. I admire those artistic makeups, but I prefer less blood in my own costumes, so anything from a clown to a mermaid would be my cup of tea ;). What about you? What kind of costume do you prefer for Halloween? super bloody and frightening or more sweet and innocent?

Hello, sweeties! How are you today? I'm super excited!!!
If you follow me on Instagram you must already know the reason, I have received and unbox the whole nail polish colleciton  'The Nutcracker and the Four Realms' for Holiday 2018 by OPI that will launch for in only few days!! The colours are gorgeous and so original for the Holidays! Take a look at this preview.

Hello, sweeties! Happy Monday!

We had a rather chilly weekend, there is no doubt the Fall is near! It's my favourite season, I love the weather and the colours so much! Sometimes I think I would love to visit all the places in the World where Fall is really special and magical. Are you excited that Fall is almost here?
Let's get into makeup! A few days ago I introduced to you the new releases from Wetnwild for Fall and today I'll be using some for this makeup. The colours for the Monday Shadow Challenge are "Forest green" and "Champagne" and here is what I came up with. I hope you like it :)
