Polished Polyglot

Hello, my sweeties! How are you today?
I am thrilled to announce the new Neo-pearl Collection by OPI* for Spring 2020 that will be launching at the end of April 2020! I've been trying all the colours and today I'm here to show you the swatches and share my opinion about the formulation with you!! This is a collection inspired by the delicacy and beauty of pearls, so it is super sophisticated and feminine. Keep reading to find out what each colour looks like on the nails and what was my experience applying and wearing six of the twelve new nail polishes. ♥♥♥

Hello, my lovelies! How are you doing today? Another day staying at home!

Every day we try to find new positive things to this social distancing. The negative ones, we all know, right? But you know something, I'm positive quarantines are good for playing with nail polish!!

There is something (out of many things) that my four-year-old daughter and I have in common: we both love the cute character Hello Kitty and we both love having our nails done! Last year OPI launched the absolutely amazing Hello Kitty by OPI collection for the Holidays*, celebrating the 45th Anniversary of this cute character! Which made happy more than one girl 😉 Back then I was in the middle of a blogging/social media break, but now it's the perfect time to show you the beauty of that magical collection! Are you ready?

Hello, lovelies! Happy Monday!

What strange times we are living all over the world right now! The situation is preoccupying with the Corona Virus and the confinement quite difficult to put up with. In total honesty, I'm personally a bit overwhelmed with all the changes that suppose having the children suddenly home-schooled, the hubby suddenly home-officed, not being able to do my sport outdoors, basically not leaving the house at all and trying to keep a cheery mood! Well, I mean having zero time or space for myself is difficult. I know it may sound so banal, but I really cherish the rare minutes I can spend taking care of myself a bit and my skincare routine is important to me for that matter.
So today, to change our ideas, we'll be talking skincare! More precisely, about a marvellous multipurpose scented oil, which is an olfactive experience that will transport you to a flowery field. Yes, now #westayhome but we can travel with our senses! Melvita scented argan oil will do that for you and more!

Hello, my lovelies! How are you today?
I can't believe we are already in March! January did not want to go away and then February came and left so soon!
I have a huge amount of empty products this time, because I haven't posted in a long time, but I kept all my empty bottles all this time! I will definitely film a video for the empty products next time.
It was impossible to fit all my empty products in one post, so I divided them into categories, and this month I'm sharing with you (some of) the skincare products that I've used up!
Take a closer look at my mini-reviews :)

Hello, Lovelies! Happy Monday!
Today I want to talk to you about 5 Drugstore Lipsticks that I've been obsessing about! Oh yes, I love me some fancy high-end makeup now and then, but in total honesty, so many drugstore brands carry really good lipsticks that have nothing to envy to the luxury ones. But yes, drugstore ranges are not always consistent, and some brands are a bit of hit and miss, so it takes a lot of try and error to find THE ONE. So, here I am doing the job for you! I introduce to you 5 really amazing options to have your lips on-point without breaking the bank! I'll talk about the brands H&M, Essence Cosmetics, Gosh Copenaghen, Maybelline New York and Cover Girl!
Let's take a look.

Hello, my sweeties! Happy Monday!

Keep reading to find out what each colour looks like on the nails and what was my experience applying and wearing these twelve new nail polishes. ♥♥♥

Hello, lovelies!
I was so impatient to write this post, as I have owned the "Born to Run" eyeshadow palette for such a long time now and I never got to show you any makeup done with it!!  I got this palette at the beginning of last year, but I haven't used it much, what a pity! It is a gorgeous palette suitable for every season and every occasion. Today,  I've created a warm summer makeup look with it, I'm also giving you my personal opinion on the palette :) I hope you like it!

Hello, lovelies!
Guess who has been testing (yet) a new face oil and it is ready to share her opinion with you? Yes! it's me! (again.. not bored yet?). Those who read my blog frequently know already my struggle with skin hyperpigmentation and lack of lustre. But if you are new around here (welcome!!), please, wait to hear about this new finding of mine!
Lily Oil. What? Wait, I've never heard of Lily oil before! It is an ingredient that aims to give radiance to the skin making it look brighter, and of course younger, how is it that I did not know that? Neither did you? Well, keep reading then, because the French Organic brand Melvita has conceived a way to put Lily Oil* into a bottle. It is not a secret, it is more affordable than you'd think and it is a little skincare gem!

Bonjour mes beautés! 
Devinez qui a testé (encore) une nouvelle huile pour le visage et qui est prête à partager son opinion avec vous? Oui! c'est moi! (.. pas trop ennuyé encore?). Ceux qui suivent mon blog connaissent déjà ma lutte contre l'hyperpigmentation de la peau et le manque d'éclat. Mais si vous êtes nouveau par ici (bienvenu !!), attendez d’entendre parler de cette nouvelle trouvaille!
Il s'agit de l'Huile de lis. Quoi? Attendez, je n'ai jamais entendu parler de l'huile de lis avant! C'est un ingrédient qui vise à redonner de l'éclat à la peau en la rendant plus lumineuse et, bien sûr, d'une apparence plus jeune. Comment se fait-il que je ne le sache pas? Vous non plus? Alors, continuez à lire, car la marque française de produits biologiques Melvita a mis au point un moyen de mettre de l'huile de lis* en bouteille. Ce n'est pas un secret, c'est plus abordable que vous ne le pensez et c'est un petit bijou pour le soin de la peau!

Hello, my lovelies! How is your week so far?
I'm so looking forward to the weekend as we'll be celebrating our girl's fourth birthday! I still have to get a lot of stuff done, but I'm really impatient for her party!
Other than that, just the usual, I'm always running after my list of things to do, forever postponing less urgent stuff for later, but today I just had to talk to you about some of the products I've finished lately, because I've been keeping them for quite a while and it's gotten totally out of hand! Today, I'll focus on hair and body care products, I hope you find this one useful.

Hello, lovelies! Happy Friday!
Today I'd like to talk to you about one of my latest additions to my organic skincare routine, it is Melvita Argan Concentré Pur Youthful fluid*, so much more than a simple moisturizer! It promises to smoothen, firm and hydrate the skin giving it a more youthful appearance. I have tested it and today I tell you all about it!

Bonjour les belles! Joyeux vendredi!
Aujourd'hui, j'aimerais vous parler de l'un des derniers ajouts à ma routine de soin de la peau bio: le Melvita Argan Concentré Pur Fluide Jeunesse *, bien plus qu'un simple hydratant! Il promet de lisser, raffermir et hydrater la peau en lui donnant un aspect plus jeune. Je l'ai testé et aujourd'hui je vous raconte tout!

Last February (yes I know, I took my time), I received from Attitude Bio the most generous parcel of skincare items for me to try and test. The Swiss store Attitude Bio only carries natural and organic cosmetic brands, like the French Brand I'm going to talk about today: Melvita. It was my first time using Melvita care products for the face and I introduce not only one product but a whole curated routine! Five new products, to cover all my skin needs, today it's time to share my experience with some of them!

En février dernier (oui, je sais, j'ai pris mon temps), Attitude Bio m'a offert le plus généreux colis d'articles de soin de la peau à essayer. La boutique et distributeur suisse Attitude Bio propose uniquement des marques de cosmétiques naturels et biologiques, à l'instar de la marque française dont je vais vous parler aujourd'hui: Melvita. C'était la première fois que j'utilisais des produits de soin Melvita pour le visage et je vous présente non seulement un produit, mais toute une routine organisée! Cinq nouveaux produits couvrant tous les besoins de ma peau, il est temps de partager mon expérience avec certains d'entre eux!

Hello, lovelies!
I was so impatient to write this post, as I have a new makeup palette and I'm super excited about it!  A couple of weeks ago I have received my Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera palette and couldn't wait to show it to you! It is a rare gem with very bold colour choice, definitely a very special palette but not for everyone! I've created a Sunset makeup look with it, and made it really bold, :) Keep reading to find out if this palette is a good choice for you!

Hello, my lovelies! How are you today!
The months are starting to pass really quickly, I can't believe is already time for an "Empties" post again!
I have a huge amount of empty products this time, so I was hesitating about doing a video! Many of you opted for an Empties video on Instagram Stories to my question, so next month I'll be doig a video instead of a blogpost ;) I still have to fine tune the filming part (read: I need a camera other than my phone!! LOL) but those are just "details" aren't they?
It was impossible to fit all my empty products, which keep cumulating in one post, so I divided them into categories, and this month I'm sharing with you the skincare products that I've used up!
Let's take a closer look at my mini reviews :)

Hello, my lovelies! How are you?
I'm super excited to be sharing with you my latest makeup discovery! I have tried many organic products in my life but not really much makeup items, so I was very curious to know how the Dark Circle concealer of the French Organic brand "Couleur Caramel" would perform on me! Have you tried Organic makeup before?  Keep reading to find out more about this product and my personal experience with it.

Happy Friday, Lovelies!
Spring is beginning to point its nose, and I'm full on allergies, which is causing my skin to be super dry, lacking glow, looking terrible! The singns of ageing are even more evident when my skin is not feeling happy. So I decided to test this Etude House Snail mask which promises deep moisturizing, smoothening and firming effects. Keep reading to find out how it went!

Hello, my lovelies! How is your week so far?
I've been having a weird week, my Spring allergies have begun, I have a cold and my period is about to start, I've been feeling exhausted! I mean not only tired, I think "tired" is the definition of my normality. This week was different, most days I'm struggling to keep my eyes open past noon, it's been horrible and I couldn't get anything done. My list of to do keeps growing! But, As we are on the very last day of  February, I thought my post on the products I've used up recently couldn't wait any longer. Today, I'll focus on hair and body care products, I hope you find this one useful.

Hello, lovelies!

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!
