Polished Polyglot

Hello, my lovelies!
January is almost gone and it's time for an "Empties" post!
I haven't shared with you my skincare and makeup "empties" since the beginning of September 2018, so I have lots and lots of products to talk about! However, not to bore you to death, I think I will split it for you and keep it to 9 products this time.
Without further ado, I suggest that we take a closer look at the products I've recently finished up!

Hello, my lovelies!
Another month has begun and, as I usually do, I have emptied a few tubes and bottles and It's time to give you my feedback on those!
Just for clarification, because I got a few confusing comments and questions, my "Empties" article, is meant to share with you my feedback on products that I have either purchase myself (for the majority of them) or received as press samples and that I've used up completely. Many of the products I've received for free already have a full review on their own, but I featured them again for the simple reason that I believe they deserve it! Using a product fully can give a better idea of the performance and efficacity of a product (especially for those antiageing ones). In the seldom occasion, using up a product has made me change my mind about it!! I have ended up hating products that I initially loved, because they had some undesired effect or because I simply got tired of it, sick of their smell, etc. Sometimes, I ended up loving products that I initially hated because I found a way to use it better, or more adapted to me or simply because the product changed after a few uses! (mascaras that are too liquidy are a good example!)
I prefer reading reviews of "empty" tubes, rather than monthly favourites where influencers just gather all the press samples they got that month and you can tell some of the packagings are untouched, so you wonder "how can she have three different favourite foundations in a month?". Well, things that happen I suppose. This has been too chatty already, so I suggest that we take a look at the products I've recently finished up, shall we?

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, lovelies! Happy Friday!
I'm very happy today because hubby came back from long 10 day-business trip and the children and I missed him a lot. I'm happy the weekend is almost here and we can enjoy some lovely time together.
As April is slowly coming to an end, it's time to share the prducts  I've used up recently, so I can give you my feedback on them with this series of mini-reviews.

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! Happy Friday! Happy December!
I hope you are planning a great weekend ahead, what are you up to?
I haven' shared with you the products I've used up since last August. I've cumulated a lot of empty bottles, so I have decided to split the the items into two posts, otherwise, this will be endless. 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, 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!

Since I live in Switzerland I have never experience a heat like this. If you, like me, were born in a country with long, humid and torrid Summers, then you know perfectly 36°C is not the worse that can happen, but Switzerland is not prepared for this kind of temperatures. The city, the houses, the shops, the transport means, all are a trap for heat! perfectly designed to maintain the warmth and save heating energy during the long Winters, but not at all suitable for hot summers.
In this kind of situation, I try to manage in order to avoid my makeup sliding off of my face, without having to buy special products. If you keep reading you'll find out how I do it.
