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

Jul 6, 2018

Hello, lovelies! Happy Friday!
I'm very happy today because it's been a TERRIBLE week for me and I can't wait for the weekend. I really need to relax, sleep in (if the children allow), indulge in some self-pampering and maybe go to the movies. Nothing too fancy, but I really need to disconnect and have a break.
The month of June ended without me having the occasion to share with you the products  I've used up recently, so today, finally, I can give you my feedback on them with this series of mini-reviews.

Aug 17, 2017
Hello, beauties! How are you today?
I'm super excited because I recently got my hands on two of the new Real Techniques PowderBleu Collection and I couldn't wait to share my thoughts about it with you!
Sam and Nic have recently launched a new brushes collection that imitates blue squirrel brushes, but has the most accessible pricetag of synthetic brushes. 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!

Summer favourites: Guerlain Terracotta Sun Celebration & Gloss d'enfer 940 Nahema Smack

Aug 16, 2014

I normally use all my makeup. I mean, not all at the same time of course! But I manage to rotate it, with seasons, special occasions, and a lot of organization, each piece of my collection eventually comes to life. Now this is the first time a piece of makeup is among my favourites and I'm so reluctant to actually use it! I would just stare at it for hours in admiration! Hahaha, yep I'm a hopeless case!

Fall Favourites: Chanel Lumières d'Artifices Beiges Illuminating Powder with Shimmer

Nov 10, 2012
Hello everyone! How is your Saturday so far? We are now working hard on the weekend for packing in order to move house, and we discovered how many useless things we have. It's so crazy.
Anyways, today I want to share with you one of my favourites of this fall: Chanel's Lumières d'Artifices Beiges. You've probably seen this a lot, but I have to tell you I absolutely adore this. It's the most subtle highlighter I have, but it is the one I prefer for a perfect finish to my skin. This is the kind of makeup that will make you glow without noticing you have makeup. So if you're on the mood for a shimmer-packed look (I am sometimes) this is not the right stuff.


I've intended to show you this a while ago, but I haven't got the opportunity yet to do proper swatches. The sun is slippery, by the time I get the camera and everything set, it's already gone. I hate to be running after the sun. It is really a pity. I know everyone is already raving Chanel's Holiday Collection, but as I'm probably not getting anything of it  (ok, maybe the polish) I decided  to show you this now, before it is definitely gone.


I know "Beige" it's not quite appealing for a name, but it is totally misleading!  This Highlighter is gorgeousness, so if you have the chance try it.

It is a little pricey, but I suspect this will last very long, since it has 18g of product (for instance, a Too Faced bronzer has 9g so this is double). I'm trying to reserve this for special makeup looks, but this is so suitable for everyday wear. I'm so happy my husband got it for me!!

Do you wear highlighters on everyday basis? Which are your favourites?
Love,
Nati
