Makeup │Festival Coral and Neon Pink Look [Monday Shadow Challenge]

May 21, 2018

(Défilez vers le bas pour le Français)

Happy Monday, lovelies!
We are still enjoying our three-day weekend, we are about to go out for a picnic with the kids, relax and enjoy ourselves. Is it also a bank holiday where you live today?

Today's Monday Shadow Challenge is more than bold, totally crazy! We ought to combine Coral and neon pink.  I definitely don't use this colours a lot, not on a day to day basis, not even rarely, it was a real challenge for me, I look at my picture and I don't recognize my style!! But I suppose that's fine for pushing my boundaries and doing things outside of my comfort zone. So today I give you two clever tips on how to wear neon colours on your makeup for a party, festival, or just to have fun! One is how to create your own DIY neon eyeliner, and the other is how to wear neon lipstick in a more subtle way. Without further ado, let's take a look.

Shopping my stash │Purple Smokey look with Chanel Tissé Cambon

May 17, 2018

Hello, lovelies! How are you today?

The month of May has been so BUSY until now, it must be the first time I say "what? we are only half way into it?", haha, honestly, I have the impression we've done so many things this month! We had my sister's birthday, my daughter's birthday, then a 4-day weekend, my hubby having loads of work with big presentations in between, my children attending two birthdays! (has everyone been born in May??!!) and we still have on the schedule my gal's doctor's appointment, my boy's annual visit to the dentist, my boy going to a school excursion, yet another long weekend, and my daughter's first official birthday party!! I can't believe how much is going to fit in the next two weeks, lol.
Has May been so busy as it's been for me?

It's time for a new edition of my "shopping my stash" challenge. This month I've been playing with Chanel Quadra Eyeshadow #228 Tissé Cambon, which I think is perfect for spring and light girly looks or very sophisticated smokey looks! Today I'm showing you one the looks I've created with it, I hope you like it :)

Makeup │Chestnut & Lilac for an Intriguing and Unusual Combo [Monday Shadow Challenge]

May 14, 2018

(Défilez vers le bas pour le Français)

Happy Monday, lovelies!
Yesterday was Mother's day in many countries and also in Switzerland! We celebrated it discreetly with a brunch I prepared, but I must say I was spoilt rotten by my kids and hubby, I got so many presents! (If you are curious you can check them on my Instagram!). Other than that, it was a gloomy weekend so we spent most of it resting, watching tv and playing game boards.When is Mother's day in your country? How do you celebrate it?

As every Monday, I have a new makeup look to share with you for the Monday Shadow Challenge! Today, the colours are a rather unusual combination, "chestnut & lilac". It seemed a bit complicated at first to ut these two shades together in one look, but once it was done I found it quite cool. Keep reading to find out!

Nail Art │ Neon Rainbow Nail Design [26 Great Nail Art Ideas]

May 11, 2018

Hello, lovelies! Happy Friday!

Yesterday, my little princess turned 3! It was such a delightful day although we didn't leave the house (the weather was terrible). She was so very happy of becoming "a big girl" and her joy was contagious. I've enjoyed the day a lot and, of course, I was off-line, off-blog, off-social media which was really needed. The day was full of surprises, I made chocolate-cookie cheesecake, we received a HUGE box from Argentina with presents for my little girl (and my boy too) from my mother, it is always such a joy to open those, they are full of magic in a way. We also had the last minute unexpected but so pleasant visit of my little girl's godmother! She's the best friend ever! We will organize a party later this month, with friends, family, games, food and balloons, so I didn't invite anyone yesterday. She came say hello, because she knows my girl is telephone-shy and unable to say a word on a video call. That was heartwarming and everyone went to bed with a smile after such a beautiful day!

So, let's get into nail art! Today the  "26 Great Nail art Ideas Challenge" prompt us to create a design with "rainbows done with a technique starting with letter S" So Here I am showing you my nails done with "Stabilobossing stamping", LOL I just made that up. But if you want to find out what this is about, please, keep reading!
