Hello, lovelies! Happy Monday!
We are heading right into Easter and I can't believe it. The time passes too quickly! I have the impression Mardi Gras was just yesterday. Some people find the lockdown or social distancing are giving them the impression of super long days. In my case, I feel I have not enough time! More precisely, not enough "ME" time.
Kids are 24/7 at home, demanding, attention, food, etc. It's like having three newborns again! hahaha. I try to be positive but I do miss to take time just for me. When I work out, they are there, when I'm taking a shower, they are there; when I'm trying to take care of my skin/hair, they are there! If you are an old visitor, you know how much I love playing with makeup and doing bold looks. These days when I'm not leaving the house, I don't do my makeup anymore, but I really miss it. So, last week I decided I was going to create a look just for FUN, I grabbed my BH Cosmetics Zodiac LOVE SIGNS* palette to create a look in Orange and gold for the Monday Shadow Challenge and I am so happy I did. I hope you like it!

Happy Monday, sweeties!
I'm baaaaaack! 
No, I didn't go anywhere. I've been absent from the blog and Social Media in the past week, I got the nasty flu, this time it really caught me hard! I could not for the life of me get my butt out of bed, my head was dizzy and I felt weak and useless most of the week. But today I'm already feeling better, so I'm here, ready to share with you my latest makeup look.
Today's challenge should combine Gold and Black, but, honestly, I didn't feel like doing a heavy black smokey eye, I've combined these two colours in a more dramatic way here (if you're interested). But my half-sick-pale-AF me could not pull off black eyeshadow right now. So I went for a luminous and bright summer look with black eyeliner and that's all the black you're gonna get from me today! ;) So, here you are, my look in gold, coral and a teeny tiny bit of black. I hope you like it!

Hello, lovelies! Happy May!!
I hope you had a wonderful month of April and that you're starting the new month with plenty of energy! I'm happy that May is finally here because it is the month of my daughter's birthday, mother's day and pretty flowers! It is also a month ruled mainly by the Zodiac sign of Taurus, and as every month, I've used my  BH Cosmetics Zodiac LOVE SIGNS palette to create a look inspired by TAURUS colours. Last year I have used the first edition of the Zodiac palette all the year round creating different looks inspired in each Zodiac sign, and this year I count on doing the same thing with the second edition of this Palette!
Let's have a look!

Happy Monday, sweeties!
Spring break started today here in Biel and all we can think of is our much awaited trip to Rome! The countdown has started! Have you ever been to Rome?

Today, it's time for a new Monday Shadow Challenge.  This time I've created a softer look for spring, to change a little bit after all my bright crazy looks lately, LOL! The colours for the challenge are "Dusty Rose" and "Warm Brown", I'd say this is one very wearable look, check it out!

Happy Monday, sweeties!
How was your weekend? Mine was fantastic! The city is blooming and you can smell Spring everywhere. It is the perfect time for changing the wardrobe into a lighter one and also the makeup looks into brighter colours.

Today, for the Monday Shadow Challenge I've created a bright look for spring using "Light green" and "Forest green",of course I threw a bright coral lipstick in the mis!  Keep reading to find out how to create this look ;)

Hello, sweeties! Only a few days to the end of 2018 and it seems a good moment to look back and recap. I have already shown you and talk to you about the 10 skincare products that rocked my world this year, you can check that here. I have also discovered and used a few wonderful items this 2018 that I am absolutely OBSESSED about! Keep reading to find out which my favourites are :)

Hello, sweeties! It's me again!
It's time for a new Zodiac inspired makeup. As part of my 2018 resolution, I'm showing using more and in new creative ways the makeup I own instead of buying new items. That is why I challenged myself to create twelve different looks with the BHCosmetics Zodiac palette, one for each sign. Today, I created a Libra look for the "Zodiac challenge".
The shimmery colour for "Libra" zodiac sign is such a fantastic and special shade that will transform any look you do with it into WOW! As I applied the colours I realized that on the skin they look quite different than what they show on the pan, it was so much fun using them. I hope you like it!

Hello, sweeties!
It's high time to recap September and share with you some products I've been obsessing with the whole month. I made an effort to shorten my list as much as possible, so I decided to leave out some products that I will be sharing with you on an empties post and also I decided to leave out clothing and shoes which I will either show you on Instagram stories or never, because I don't think I'll be ever doing a fashion post, lol!
Well, let's take a look back into September, shall we?

Hello, lovelies! Happy Saturday!

Happy humpday, sweeties!
It's time for a new Zodiac inspired makeup. As you know, I'm showing more love to the makeup I own instead of buying new items and I challenged myself to create twelve different looks with the BHCosmetics Zodiac palette, one for each sign. Today, I created a Virgo look for the "Zodiac challenge"
The palette has two beautiful and quite pale colours for "Virgo" zodiac sign and those inspired me to create a very pale but luminous look in petal pink and lilac. I supposed these are not your typical "Autumn colours", but let's not forget that Spring is coming to the southern hemisphere.
Also in my home country, Argentina, Spring begins the 21st of September and I think this makeup would be perfect for that occasion. I hope you like it!

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! 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.

Hello, lovelies! How are you today?

Hello, my lovelies!

How has Spring started for you? Do you have any plans for this season? Maybe a trip somewhere? I don't know about you, but mid-March sounds a lot more encouraging to me to make resolutions than January, that ever since I live in the northern hemisphere. Personally, I'm more motivated to get fit now than I was in January, lol. I am only hoping for warmer days, it is still very cold around here! We've already booked a family trip for our Spring break, we'll spend a few days in Barcelona. I'm soooo looking forward to it! My last trip to the beautiful Spanish city was in 2002, I don't even know what to expect or what to do? I'll need some planning for this trip... Don't hesitate to leave me a comment if you have some suggestions!

Now, into makeup! Well, if you've been following me lately, you know I'm showing more love to the makeup I own instead of buying new and I challenged myself to create twelve different looks with the BHCosmetics Zodiac palette, one for each sign. Today I focus on "Aries" sign and here is my look, I hope you like it!
