Empties │ The products I've used up recently vol. XXVII [Makeup & Skincare]
Hello, sweeties!
As February is coming to an end, I thought it would be a good moment to share my "Empties". Tubes, bottles and jars of beauty products I've used up recently, so I can give you my feedback with this series of mini-reviews. This month, I've cumulated an obscene quantity of empty bottles, so this time I'm going to talk only about the skincare and makeup products and I will address the body and hair products in a future post.
Makeup │ Bold & bright look in neon pink and copper [Monday Shadow Challenge]
Happy Monday, my lovelies!
Have you done anything special last weekend? It was terribly cold (and still is) here in Switzerland, but we had a sunny Sunday. We were lucky to spend the Sunday afternoon with friends and it was delightful! We don't gather as often as I'd like with our friends, but when we do it's always a memorable moment that I enjoy hugely. What about you? How often do you meet with friends?
Now, let's get into makeup! Today's makeup for the Monday Shadow Challenge combines "neon pink and copper". The result is BOLD & BRIGHT!
Nail art │ Nail design about 'hobbies' [Nail crazies unite]
Hello, my lovelies!
What's your hobby? There's a lot of things that I enjoy doing for fun, but in the past few years I find nail art one of my favourite hobbies. It's a creative activity, that involves a little planning, some practice and special technique, and it also kind of therapeutic! It definitely helps me unwind and relax!
For today's manicure, the girls of the "Nail Crazies Unite" challenge are doing "Hobbies" theme nail art using colours "red and black". My challenge today was creating a nail art that evokes nail art!! It was so much fun!
Nail art │Silicon Soak Off Caps from BeautyBigBang Store
Hello, lovelies! Happy Friday!
Today I'm super excited because this afternoon we'll be hosting my son's birthday party. We invited 10 of his schoolmates and ALL of them confirmed their presence. It gives me satisfaction to know that my son is loved and appreciated at school :) We had a small celebration on the 21st -his actual birthday- but it was only us and my hubby's dad, we had dinner and I made a birthday chocolate cheesecake. Today, we'll host the children's party, with balloons, games, candy and cake and on Sunday we'll be inviting some friends and family to celebrate (again). It sounds crazy, but in Argentina, many people do multiple reunions to celebrate and I find it natural. Do you also do multiple celebrations for birthdays?
Well, enough digressing, let's talk about nail art. More precisely, today I'll present you a tool and method to remove soak-off gel nail polish, or semi-permanent nail polish, with minimum hassle and minimum waste. Is that possible? Well yes! Thanks to the awesome Silicon Soak Off Caps from BeautyBigBang Store*. Keep reading to find out more!
Makeup │ Burgundy look for the Sign of Pisces [Zodiac Makeup Challenge]
Is there anyone from Pisces in your life? One person of Pisces totally changed my life, for good. One person that taught me many things about myself, that pushed me to do things I didn't know I was capable of. One person that showed me I was so much stronger than anyone imagined, even myself. He's the one who believes the most in me, he supports me and he is proud of me like nobody else, not even myself. So, if I was going to take this Zodiac thing seriously (which of course I'm not) I would say -based on my experience- that Pisces people are great! Of course, I'm talking about my first child, my son.
Yesterday was a special day for me, my son turned 6!! And it was also my 6th anniversary as a mom. I can't believe 6 years have passed since I first held his chubby little face in my hands. I know, every mom has that feeling, at least once, that the time passes so cruelly fast and that our little ones grow up too soon. I'm not being original, I know. But I can't help it, looking at photos of my boy when he was a baby, now that he has become such a tall, sweet and smart little man.
Well, you might wonder what does Pisces have to do with anything. Well, if you've been following me lately, you know I'm trying to have more fun with 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 is the turn to "Pisces" and here is my look, I hope you like it!
Skincare │Prevent sagging eyelids with the Cellullar Eye contour Definition by La Colline
Scroll down for English
Bonjour mes beautés!
Aujourd'hui je vais vous parler d'une nouvelle crème pour les contours des yeux de la luxueuse marque Suisse des soins La Colline. Cette nouvelle formulation appelée "Soin Cellulaire Redéfinition Contour des Yeux"* promets combattre le relâchement des paupières qui arrive avec l'âge. Cela arrive à tout le monde en plus grand ou plus petite mesure, que la délicate peau des paupières perd la tonicité et commence à se rélacher. Certes, cela n'arrive pas à 30 ans, mais si seulement il y avait quelque chose à faire dès 30 pour éviter cela? La Colline a la réponse. Presque trop beau pour être vrai, n'est-ce pas? Lissez la suite pour connaître mon expérience!
Hello, my beauties!
Today I am going to talk to you about a new cream for the eye contours by the luxurious skincare Swiss brand La Colline. This new formulation called "Cellular Eye contour Definition" * promises to fight the sagging eyelids that appears with age. It happens to everyone in greater or smaller extent, that the delicate skin of the eyelids loses tone and begins to slack. Of course, it does not happen at 30, but if only there was something to do from 30 to avoid that? La Colline has the answer. Almost too good to be true, is it? Keep reading to know my experience!
Makeup │Keeping it Edgy with Petrol Blue and Brass [Monday Shadow Challenge]
Hello, sweeties! Happy Monday!
How was your weekend? It was Carnival celebration in my city (Biel) this weekend and we wanted to go watch the Children's Parade on Saturday. But it poured the whole afternoon and it was so freaking cold, that we decided to stay in. I was a bit of disappointed to miss the Carnival, I hoped to have fun with the children, but in the end, I thought it was wiser to stay in. We've been ill for nearly two months in a row, with different viruses and stuff, and now that the children are finally fit again, I didn't want to risk their health by standing two hours under the freezing rain. Instead, we spent the afternoon building a Harry Potter LEGO that was way too difficult for my children's age, so they needed extra help ;) . My boy is starting to get hooked on Harry Potter's stories, although they are quite a complex reading for his age (he'll turn 6 on Wednesday) he seems to enjoy it a lot, especially the suspense parts!
Well, I got carried away with my family stories, let's get into makeup! Today, as every Monday, I have a new makeup look to show you for the Monday Shadow Challenge! This week, I've created an edgy makeup in "petrol blue and brass", a combo I would have never thought to put together! I hope you like it :) .

Shopping my stash │'Buy nothing' Sophisticated Look in grey and mauve
Hello, sweeties! I hope you all spent a lovely Valentine's day yesterday!
I took the day off from blogging and social media yesterday, I spent the whole day with my 5 year-old son and we did some fun stuff together. We also went to the cinema, as my boy really enjoys it. We didn't do any Valentine's related celebrations (except heartshaped raspberry and chocolate mousse that we had for desert, lol). Did you celebrate this Date?
Well, let's get into makeup. As every month, today I have a new edition of "shopping my stash" challenge. This month I've been playing with Dior 5 couleurs Cosmopolite #866 Eclectic quint, which I have used several times for my other challenges, but then forgot about it. Today I'm showing you the looks I've created with it, I hope you like it :)
