A DAY IN DECEMBER

 Hello lovelies,

Winter is almost here and we're trying to make the best of it despite de weather 🤗

Yesterday, I went for a brunch with a friend I haven't seen in a very longtime. Since it's getting cold and dark, I had to wear my big faux fur coat.

My usual autumn make doesn't work with this coat, so I've decided to add a new touch to my makeup :

Huda Beauty Cheek Tint

This is a creamy, dewy blush that looks incredible on the cheeks as you can see :

It gives the healthy glow that I love, see closer

In other words this is going to be my winter bestie for sure 😌❣️

I may get some other shades cause the color texture and long lasting performance just makes me want to get MORE !

Anyway, I wanted to share some pics of what I got at the brunch as well 😀

It was at a place called Immersion Paris, in central Paris.

It was absolutely yummy from drinks to desserts : Everything was freshly made 

I would definalty go again & again 🤎

Anyway a lovely Saturday in december ☺️

AUTUMN BLUSH & HAIR

 Hello lovelies,

It's been a while since my last post, almost a MONTH 😱...I said I wanted to blog again and it's still the case but lately, autumn was slowly coming 🍁 and it was rainning all the time...didn't have a lot of time to hang out.

Anyway, now I am back and I want to talk a about two products that I'm using this season.

Makeup first : RIRI CREAM BLUSH 💖

Aging, I find that powder blushes don't look the best on my skin anymore. It looks patchy and makes my skin dry...not the best look. My all time favourite blush used to be Love Thing Mineralize blush by Mac. I could find a smiliar color in cream blush...Until I've discovered this 😍

Fenty Cream blush in "RIRI"

This is a cold pink with a slight shimmer effect in it, not too creamy, not to matte...just the perfect amount of glow on the face.

Just look at it :

This is so good and is officially my new favorite blush !!!

I wore it yesteraday, it stayed all day and was so confortable to wear I promise.

I will defintaly buy more shades cause it's so good !

Next, my hair situation : Since I come back from holidays, my hair is not the best looking hair. It looks dry and doesn't dry properly. My go to shampoo is Head & Shoulders. But recently I found that it was too hydrating for my hair. So I've decided to go back to a shampoo that used when my hair is dry and weird looking : Wella Volume Boost Shampoo 

It makes my hair so light and makes them dry so quickly.

I love my hair texture and it doesn't look heavy.

As you can see :

My hair looks almost healthy and light

From outside : It's shinny 🙂

So I think for every season changing, I will change my shampoo too cause hair go through changes too !

EYESHADOW CRUSH

 Lately I've discovered an amazing product : MAKEUP REVOLUTION MOUSS EYESHADOW 

The color is soo pretty, it's giving Charlotte Tilbury 😍

I just put my finger in it, and takes 2 seconds to apply. It's so easy and looks beautiful, glowy and dewy.

Just look :

I will definatly us it at least once a week !!!

FROM I AM FED UP WITH MY HAIR TO I ACTUALLY LOVE THEM

Hello ladies 💃🏽

Autumn is finally there and it's time to get ready to ROCK IT.

After the horrible last couple of years I've been through, I promised myself that this end of the year will be FLAWLESS 🔥

I wanna be happy, proud, feel pretty and nobody will stop me from it 😎

And it starts by the look !

Recently I've noticed that my hair color was a complete mess. This summer I went for highlights but it didn't turned out the way I wanted 😅

So I dyed them dark brown but after a couple of months, my hair got lighter.

With I hate cause it makes them look dry and damaged...

So guess what ? It was time to do it again.

I always go this drugstore hair dye EUGENE PERMA in CHATAIN :

I just love the color : My hair looks shinny and healthy look at them 👀

I will keep you updated on my autumn glow up 🍁

SUMMER IS NOT OVER & CO

Last week I was saying how much I was sad that summer was ending but guess what ?

Looks like september is gonna be an extended summer ☀️ !

Since I've started work, the weather has been the nicest and I'm not mad about it 😆

I can still wear my summer clothes yayyyy !!!

Yesterday was 36° and I had to go out with my friends for drinks 💃🏽. I wanted to share what I wore :

MAKEUP 

I didn't do anything different than last week, exactly the same products except for the undereyes : I used the W7 loose powder in Natural beige. It's very brightening and doesn't crease.

It was super warm but makeup didn't melt 😇

OUTFIT

Top : Zara Bodysuit

Shorts : Zara

Shoes : Converse

Bag : Zadig & Voltaire

It's was a great great day, hope the sun won't leave us quickly !

I also wanted to share some recent purchases that I love :

CURTAINS 

I used to have some very old damask curtains but they were getting very old and I had to change them.

I went for those light pink curtains. 

And let me thell you : I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THEM 😍

They compliment my room sooo nicely and I don't know they just make me feel so happy and bring such a good vibe in my room. I had no idea changing my curtains would bring me so much joy lol ☺️

MAKEUP POUCH FOR GYM 

Outside 

Inside

I've started running since april and I am very happy with the results. 

I run 4 times a week wich means I have to run on week days too. I always bring my gym clothes at work and run during my lunch break. 

Since I've been breaking out few months ago, I had to take extra care of my skin so I always make sure I remove and clean my face 🧼  before working out.

I always carry 3 different pouches to put my makeup, brushes & skincare with was messy.

Until i found this makeup pouch on H&M.

And let me tell you : She is PERFECT 💖

I can put everything in a different section and get ready quickly.

The size and the color is perfect.

I really recommend this cause it's so convenient ! 

Can't wait to use it 😊

A FRESH NEW START

 Hello lovelies,

Hope last week was not too harsh, espcially if you are just coming back from your summer vacay 😎

Surprisingly, mine was amazing. I thought going back to work would be tiring and depressing.

But it wasn't : The weather was nice & fresh, my collegues were all back so we had a good time...I can't ask for any better right 😇 ?

In order to feel EVEN better, I did some little changes this summer and got some new purchases that I'm gonna share with you ❣️

I've added these 3 new produits to my routine :

BEN NYE PRETTY PINK POWDER 

It went viral on TIKTOK...I had to try it.

As you can see on the picture, it looks pretty smooth and definitely cancel my dark circles ! I really liked the color and everything BUT I went through some little struggles :

- While applying the spray on my face I felt like it made my undereyes creasing 😅

- At the end of the day, even mor creasing

This is bad cause I really love the color and the texture it gives to my skin !

Maybe I should try to mix it with another powder ?

I will keep you updated with my more pictures next time.

FENTY CREAM BLUSH & MAC LIPSTICK

I can't definatly cannot live without these two since this summer. The Fenty cream blush makes my cheeks beautiful & dewy and the Mac Chili Lipstick adds that touch of summery vibe on my face, I love it. I will definately try more of the Fenty cream blushes, it's so pretty !!

And the last think I wanted to share are some little treats to myself :

SEE BY CHLOE BAG & WALLET

I first got the bag. It was my summer bestie ☺️. Very convenient, and light weight I LOVE it.

And once I got back from my holidays, I thought why not getting the wallet. Indeed, my old wallet was getting old and dirty. Plus it was too big for my likings.

When I saw this pink one on the website, I thought it was the perfect size for me. I'll be able to bring it with me even in very small bags. 

I am very happy with these 🛍

THE END OF A BEAUTIFUL SUMMER

 Summer started very badly for me : the acne, some other little issues...I was very pessimistic about my holidays. Indeed I've decided to go to Sri Lanka and was scared that it would turn into a complete nightmare.vBut I was WRONG, it turned out beautifully....

Let me share the main highlights :

WEEK 1 : My friend's wedding 💍

I didn't know what to wear this so I bought this satin barbie pink dress. I loved it, got a lot of compliments but I won't wear it again since I'm unconfortable showing off my shoulders lol.

It was very nice,  I made a lot of friends that same night, I really had a good time.

BRUNCH at Lighthouse Colombo 

The next day, I got invited to a brunch near the beach. I was really fun. I made a lot of new friends in a dream landscape as you can see 😍

WEEK 2 : A good relaxing moment at Jetwing Blue

I went for dinner with my neighbors at this restaurant near the beach. I was so beautiful and delicious !

I went for dinner with my neighbors at this restaurant near the beach. I was so beautiful and delicious !

Saw my longtime friends after years. I was really cool 🙂

WEEK 3 : Horton's plains

We went on a 4 hours ride. It was a little bit tricky and tiring but I worth it, so many beautiful views 😍

And I end the night with a yummy room service dinner.

It made my day !

WEEK 4 : Colombo baby

It was the most awaited moment cause since I live in the countryside, going to the big city is such a thing for me. It was super nice and I got to go clubbing with the friends I made at the wedding ! 

That was my look. I kept it simple cause I don't like wearing too much makeup in hot countries. Got a lot of compliments and the vibe of the night was so good 💖
I met the sweatest girls and had such a fun night !

To conclude, It was a beautiful beautiful, relaxing holidays...I didn't have such a good time inYEARS. I just realize the importance of a good holidays. We need some time somewhere else, we need to get out of the work routine. It feels so good now...I am now back in France...with a peaceful state of mind...Almost sad to get back to work...but hey to taste a good holiday, you have to work hard first right 😜

I will get back to blogging often now cause I enjoy it and in a few years, I wanna read all this again to remember that life is good 😌

SKIN PROBLEMS

I've been stuggling with acne MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE GUYS Let me explain to you : Got my first breakouts when I was 15. I went to the dermatologist who put me on local treatments first. I got some few results but it never made my acne disappear for ever. He then put me on antibiotics, got my skin clean for months but once I stopped the treatment, acne got back 😅 So there wasn't really a permanent solution for my skin. Then by 21, I got that hormonal treatment called ANDROCUR This was the ONE for me...treated my hormonal acne for a good 9 years...my skin was acne free :

It was a REAL pleasure to put makeup on, I didn't need to treat and I just had to take the pill everyday. Everything was fine until when I got a letter one day saying that some researches has proven that ANDROCUR could give me BRAIN CANCER 😱 So obviously, I immediatly stopped the treatment and got a brain scan. Thank god, I didn't have anything 🙏🏼 After that, unfortunatly little by little, my acne come back 😭 it was really bad, especially being an adult and going through this again... So I went to my dermatologist again and he prescribed be ACUTANE...And let me tell you : BIGGEST mistake The side effects such as dryness, suden acne irruptions...were aweful...it would have been okay if it actually worked on me ! But after a year after I stopped the treatment, my acne come back guys 😭 I felt sooo bad... Of course doing a second round is possible but I don't have the strenght to go through it again... So I try to handle it with my own researches using the following products :

1. Sérum périodique by TYPOLOGY 

Every week you apply a different serum, it supposed to balance hormonal acne.

Felt like it worked 

2. THE ORDINARY Moisturising cream + CERAVE Eye Cream

This combo applied daily didn't break me out

THE ORDINARY Serums : Nacinamide & Peeling serum

Nacinamide helped with small spots and the peeling serum dried the spots 

This routine worked perfectly for me. I had some spots from time to time but nothing too crazy, the products did help. Everything was fine until I started working out...

Indeed, around april, I've decided to run 4 times a week to be shape. I got some nice results but at a cost: The sweat broke me out guys ! 

This is what my skin looked like :

That's bad right ? Not only I got acne, but i got left with very bad dark stains that takes forever to disappear.

I didn't go out for months cause I was very insecure. I tried to keep my routine but I didn't work.

I've decided to go to the doctor and ask for help, something temporary.

I got some antibiotics prescribed for a year : DOXYLINE

I know I'm not trying to solve the issue naturaly but I need to get my smooth skin back and feel confident again. It's really going to help me.Once everything will be fine, I will try some natural remedies.

I will keep you updated regarding the results.

3 YEARS OF BEING STUCKED

Hello ladies 🙂 It's been a very long time and I am aware of it...Before anything, let me just explain why I haven't been there for such a longtime. Obviously social medias are not what it used to be few years ago 😅 so why blogging when you have TikTok, Instagram...right ? But that's not the real reason. As we all have been trhough this horrible 2020 year that has changed our lives FOREVER, I have been trhough some really tough times myself 😶 and withtout explaining everything in details, all I can say is that it was HARD...Since 3 years, I've been feeling mentally unstable : One day I am happy, everything is fine and the next day, I am so upset...The 2020 was the toughest...then 2021, I tried to handle shit as much as I could...2022 though thing would get better but...NOPE 😐... I didn't have only horrible times, as you can see, I tried to keep my head up and enjoy life...but it never completely lasted.

Now 3 years after, I realize one thing : I cannot be like that forever...I need to change and bring back my hapiness again without expections. And getting away from my toxic routine. Blogging again is gonna a heatlhy way to share things and spending time. So I will share my beauty products, shopping moments, new routines...I know it's gonna help me. I'm feeling nostalgic when I read my old posts...I wanna be that girl again 😀 I'm willing to feel better and be spontenanous and expectations free. I am ready to be happy and free...it's now or never 💪🏼
