Colour on My Nails

Image
Here I will give you some suggestions on wonderful colours from different brands and also for diverse budgets. I will try to provide one example for each colour... Let us start with Green  Green (vert agave) is one of the best colours that Yves Rocher has. It is a very particular green, the type that you find in the forest, the type that is a bit pastel but still lively.  I have almost finished this one, I used it too much!  A nice Nudish Brown  I have to say that this one is also from Yves Rocher . I had used this colour a lot, too. I personally like it a lot. It is not as competitive as the Vert Agave but still quite good as a colour. It is a capuccino brown, something more like muddy but light brown. Hard to describe. It is definitely lighter than the photo you see below.  The third one is a pinkish purple one again from Yves Rocher . It is called Rose Hortensia (see it above). This colour really goes well with the lipstick Mauve from Kiko for instance. It is not a very interesting

Dior Skin Nude Air Serum: The Only Foundation I have Used

Image
I will make a short and honest confession to you. I do not believe in foundations and I think that it is not healthy to use them all the time. I do not think that we should cover our faces like we paint the walls or like we paint our lips. Till now, I only used one foundation and bought one foundation and not planning to use others. Cause I find this one quite natural and quite down to earth. Moreover, it does not stick to your skin, it lets your skin breath. I have used two colours of this: the fairer one and one tone darker. Both were fine: the darker for the summer and the lighter for winter I guess. So it is Dior Skin Nude Air Serum . I know it is a bit expensive, it is almost 52 euros. But believe me, it is worth the money if you use it a couple of times a week. Or even if you use it once a week, it goes a long way. Weird thing, I keep it in the fridge, cause I do not use it that often. But when I use it I never regret it. As I said I do not have other experiences, other

My Best BB Cream(s) Forever (?) Dior discontinued !

Image
The first time I learnt about the BB creams, I was quite uneducated about them. I had no idea why there was such a cream, what it worked for and how it was different from the foundations, fondo tinta, and fond de teint. They are lighter than fond de teint, they are not as sticky as fond de teint and they are more creamy and hydrating in a way... well, depends on which foundations you use, too. I will tell you my first two favourites and then will suggest two other very very good ones. DIOR HYDRA LIFE BB CREAM: GOOD COVERAGE So the first one is this one, you all probably know about it: Dior Hydra Life BB cream . It is such a nice one. It looks very natural and thin on the skin. That is what I look for! It hydrates. Well, I also use sometimes hydrating cream beneath. I chose the colour beige lumière and it fits me really well. The smell is nice but I have to say that it is a bit like the cosmetical smell, something a bit chemical is sensed in it. But no bother... I love it and hav

How to organise the nail polish in Marie Kondo style

Image
As we all know Marie Kondo did it and we loved her ! She organised everything so well. She was the middle child and was kind of on her own most of the time. So she started organising her room, then her friends' room and now she is organising the world. One of her tips is that you bring everything that you have from one category together: all clothes, all books, all cosmetics for instance. So before the organisation, there is some chaos... I have taken all my nail polishes and organised them. I will show this procedure to you via photos... and if you would like I can also share the colours of the products and how they look on my hands. My hands are not the most beautiful but you will have to bear with me! So the first situation is as such. I am alone with all the nail polish that I will never be able to finish all my life. Longing for the fact that my sister would be with me, to finish things would have been easier. Well, that is just a detail before I tell you how disorgan

Maybe in winter we need to be hydrating our skin more?

Image
Now that winter is approaching more hydrating creams might be needed. I will give you a combination of well known and less known brands from different places. This time there will be just a few products but I will explain how they work... First one is the Yves Rocher Anti-pollution UV Beauty shield cream... it is such a nice one that keeps your skin hydrated whole day. I love its texture and smell! Have always loved Yves Rocher The second one is Bottega Verde (avena per i pelli delicate o sensibili) and it has such a soft smell, I use it mostly at night, it has a very natural and light texture, I definitely suggest it. The third one is Caudalie Vinosource Moisture Recovery Cream for dry skin, that works all fine, too! Well, my sister thinks Yves Rocher is much better but I am not so sure yet... I like them both. The fourth one is a B&B cream from Dior: you probably know this one already... I have been using it a lot. It is my third tube now that is abo

LIPSTICKS: WHO DOES NOT LOVE TO HAVE A GOOD LIPSTICK?

Image
This boom with cosmetics in the last years is incredible. So many brands, so many colours, so many artificial products and so many novelties! But how will we know which lipstick is the best one? There are three questions when it comes to lipsticks: 1)    Do they suit you (colour wise)? 2)    Will you ever find the perfect colour? 3)    Which are my favourite(s)? So basically, I have three main questions to answer very shortly. But then I will tell you a summary of my experiences about the lipsticks, brands, textures, pigments, colours… will share you a great variety of them from each brand. The colour range is from red to orange, from orange to pink and purple. But there are a few nude colours which are closer to brown as well. Never liked brown as a lipstick but maybe till I find the right colour I should just shut up. Let’s start with the first question. Does every lipstick suit everyone? It is not possible. I will give some suggestion
