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, lovelies! Happy Monday!
I hope you all had a great weekend, we are enjoying the Italian countryside, no mobile, no WiFi (unless we go to the mall in the city) and this is soooo good. Also, there is not air conditioning and it's super hot, so this is not so good, but we'll survive ;) This weekend we've been mainly resting, meeting friends, family and EATING delicious food, so I really don't complain ;) What was your weekend like?

Today, the Monday Shadow Challenge prompted us to use "Red" and "Turquoise" colours. So, I've created a sophisticated, yet simple to do, summer look for anight out! It is a look that will make heads turn but you can achieve it with only three products so it's a super travel friendly makeup look. I hope you like it :)

This weekend has been so busy! We will be leaving soon for a summer vacation and I'm trying to have everything ready in advance and see if this time I can have our bags packed the day before departure, lol. I have thought to take a break from blogging while we are away, but then I decided I was going to keep posting but at a lower pace. So I've prepared enough makeup looks and manicures to keep this spot alive during the rest of July and the beginning of August, but there won't be any review or skincare blog post until we come back. That means that I will be posting "only" twice per week, not bad for a vacation right?!

Today, it's time for a new edition of my "shopping my stash" challenge!  This month I've been playing with Dior 5 Couleurs #374 Blue Lagoon, which I think is perfect for summer and light colourful looks or more sophisticated ones. Today I'm showing you one the looks I've created with it, I hope you like it :)

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 "Grease" by OPI that launched for Summer 2018!! The colours are sooooo pretty! Take a look at this preview.

Happy Monday, my sweeties!

I hope you all had a lovely long weekend and that you have celebrated, for those who do, Easter in joy and peace. We still have one day off today (YAY!!) as we celebrate "Easter Monday" today. So I'm writing this while waiting for our friends to join us this evening for a movie night with the children. We will stay at home watching a children's movie with them and let them eat everything that is usually forbidden (potato chips, popcorn, chocolate, candy, etc). My boy (6) is so excited about it, he has spent the whole day planning where and how each guest will seat and how we will place their drinks and food. He's got a great potential as the perfect host! We will be watching Coco (not sure what this is called in English, sorry!). I'm sure that will be a nice evening for a Monday ;)

Hello, my lovelies!
December has started and makeup-wise this month will be BOLD & BLING BLING!! Get ready to see many ideas to incorporate glitter on your looks and to dare colours combination that will make you stand out from the crowd!

For our first December appointment of the "Monday Shadow Challenge" we have to use "blue glitter and turquoise". Blue is not the best colour on me, but it wouldn't be called "challenge" if it was easy, right? So let's see what I've come up with!

Hellooo sweeties! Greetings from Argentina! I'm finally enjoying with my family and friends back in my homeland and oficially on vacation. But I wouldn't miss this appointment with the Monday Shadow Challenge as the prompt for today is GOLD GLITTER! So appropriate for this season! Let's take a closer look.

Hi there you sweeties! How have you been? I have been very busy and sick, first were the children, then me and just life kept getting in the middle and disrupting my blogging schedule :( But now I'm here again to show you a couple of manicures I've done using Born Pretty Store decals! This is  a set of ten sheets of water decals I received from Born Pretty Store and I have already used them all in different manicures, and I have shown you three manis with them here (check it out!) but not to overwhelm you I'll be showing you just a few at a time. Shall we?
