Makeup │ Bold Fucshia Lips and Grey Eyeshadow

Jan 28, 2019

Hello, my lovelies! Happy Monday!

How was your weekend? We had a wonderful weekend. My hubby and I thought to gather our dearest friends to celebrate our 15 wedding anniversary and the evening was simply charming! Spending time with my favourite people fills my heart with joy.

Today, the Monday Shadow Challenge prompted us to created a look with "Grey" and "Fuchsia" and I used a very bright lipstick. I hope you like it!

Makeup │Soft Look in Rose Gold with a Touch of Teal [Monday Shadow Challenge]

May 7, 2018
(Défilez vers le bas pour le Français)

Happy Monday, lovelies!
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend.  For us it was a lovely sunny weekend, I spent it indoors feeling under the weather :P I caught something that got my tummy upset. As you can see on my pictures that's my very-tired-self. I'm already feeling better, but guess what... it's already MOnday! LOL

Today, I have an appointment with the Monday Shadow Challenge! As every Monday, playing with makeup, colours and textures put me in the best mood for the rest of the week. What puts you in a good mood on Mondays?

Makeup │Kahki, carmine red and Big Hair [Monday Shadow Challenge]

Mar 26, 2018

Happy Monday, my lovelies!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and that started your week in great shape! We had time set to daylight saving on Sunday, which is always a tad disturbing for the family routine, but we are catching up like champions ;)
I couldn't be more excited that Easter is almost here, which means school break, of course, but mainly is the best excuse ever to indulge in excessive amounts of chocolate! I love dark chocolate, which is your favourite? Dark, milk chocolate or white? or maybe some other type of candy?

Well, enough about that, let's get into makeup! As every Monday I have a new makeup to share with you for the Monday Shadow Challenge. This time the colours are "khaki and carmine red" and this is what I came up with... I hope you like it!

Makeup │Keeping it Edgy with Petrol Blue and Brass [Monday Shadow Challenge]

Feb 19, 2018

Hello, sweeties! Happy Monday!

How was your weekend? It was Carnival celebration in my city (Biel) this weekend and we wanted to go watch the Children's Parade on Saturday. But it poured the whole afternoon and it was so freaking cold, that we decided to stay in. I was a bit of disappointed to miss the Carnival, I hoped to have fun with the children, but in the end, I thought it was wiser to stay in. We've been ill for nearly two months in a row, with different viruses and stuff, and now that the children are finally fit again, I didn't want to risk their health by standing two hours under the freezing rain. Instead, we spent the afternoon building a Harry Potter LEGO that was way too difficult for my children's age, so they needed extra help ;) . My boy is starting to get hooked on Harry Potter's stories, although they are quite a complex reading for his age (he'll turn 6 on Wednesday) he seems to enjoy it a lot, especially the suspense parts!

Well, I got carried away with my family stories, let's get into makeup! Today, as every Monday, I have a new makeup look to show you for the Monday Shadow Challenge! This week, I've created an edgy makeup in "petrol blue and brass", a combo I would have never thought to put together! I hope you like it :) .

Makeup │Metallic look in gunmetal and Bronze [Monday Shadow Challenge]

Feb 12, 2018

Hello, sweeties! Happy Monday!
Children have a one week break from school this week, so this morning we are taking it easy, having breakfast without stress in our PJs. It feels like an extension of Sunday! I'd love every Monday to be like this! We are planning some really fun things with the children this week, but not many outdoors activities as the weather announces very very cold and both my children are still coughing. Even the hubby took one day off this week and he'll spend it with our boy doing "boy's stuff".
Do you children also have a mid-term break too?
Today, as every Monday, I have a new makeup look to show you for the Monday Shadow Challenge! This week, I've created a metallic makeup in "gunmetal and bronze", it was quite challenging combining these two shades, I hope you like the look.

Shopping my stash │ Makeup Look in Blue & turquoise using YSL Palette

Aug 25, 2017

Hello, my lovelies! Happy Friday!
I hope you all had a great week and planning a fun weekend. I was feeling under the weather this week and had tweak a bit my posting schedule. I ended up publishing my review on OPI Iceland collection on Wednesday, instead of Tuesday and this makeup post comes unusually on Friday instead. But I did not want the week to end without sharing with you the August edition of my newest monthly series "Shopping my stash". This series of posts is dedicated to showing some love to makeup products of my own collection instead of buying new. I am rediscovering products that I haven't used in a while and for the month of August I've been playing with YSL Palette Bleus Lumière, which I haven't used in a while. I am also showing you a look I created with it. Keep reading to find out :)

Empties │ The products I've used up recently [Makeup & Skincare]

May 2, 2017

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!

Makeup │ Jump on the Rose gold trend for makeup [Monday Shadow Challenge]

Feb 20, 2017

(Défilez vers le bas pour le français)


There is no doubt, for the past few years there is a hot-hot-hot trend on "Rose Gold Everything". I must admit that I have never worn a rose gold makeup look, but when I saw this prompt for the Monday Shadow Challenge I thought how come I never came up with this idea?
I'm sure all rose gold lovers will embrace this shade also for makeup because it is one you can't go wrong with!

Makeup │Look in gunmetal grey and duochromed green [Monday Shadow Challenge]

Nov 28, 2016
(Défilez vers le bas pour le français / Visita aquí mi artículo en español)


Hello,sweeties! Bonjour! How are you today?
Can you believe November is almost over? Where did this year go?! It seemed like yesterday I was writing about my new years (lack of) resolutions for 2016, and nowI'm already getting ready for 2017!!
Well, enough of small talk, let's get into makeup. Today my makeup is totally "off topic", why? because I failed to use the right colour for the challenge 😞. In fact the prompt for this week was "Vert de gris" which I had no idea what colour was supposed to be. I was going to skip this appointment, but at the last minute I decided to prepare a look anyway. I used Goolge Translate (WHY?!) who told me vert de gris was "green grey". I still had no idea what colour that was, but lacking the time for a proper research I just grabbed some grey and duochrome green and slapped it on my face!

Hello Sweeties! Bonjour! How have you started this week?
I'm very excited today because it's my hubby's b-day, (happy birthday darling! I know you're reading ♥). We won't be losing any time waiting for the next weekend and we'll go to dinner out with the family to a restaurant I've never been to. THAT is a very exciting plan in my life! Dinner out on a Monday?  with the kids? who have school on the next day? R-e-v-o-l-u-t-i-o-n! haha, LOL.

Enough 'bout that, let's get serious, please. I am finally on my regular schedule again! As every Monday I have a new makeup look to share with you for the Monday Shadow Challenge.

The long wait is over! Happy Halloween sweeties!
My children have played the whole weekend with the halloween masks and costumes, they've already had major fun, so this evening we will go out for candy. There is not much people celebrating Halloween in Switzerland, so I keep fingers crossed they won't be disappointed and we can find at least one or two houses that will actually answer the doorbell.
Today is as well Monday Shadow Challenge, and I could not skip the occasion to present you a Halloween makeup. Today's colour is, of course, pumpkin orange!
