NARS ORGASM VS SLEEK GOLD ROSE

I have finally purshased the famous Nars Orgasm blusher. I felt like changing my makeup, summer is close and I thought it was a good occasion to get Nars Orgasm. I will not add anything new to everything that have been already said about it : this blush is fabulous. Indeed the color is perfect, you can wear it with or without any highlighter on : the color is a pinky coral colour mixed with gloden shimmer, it totally allows you to wear it without any highlighter on a day time. In my case, on the picture I wore it with Nars Casino bronzer and a Sleek highlighter cause it was at night because I wanted to go for a more dramatic look. I absolutly love the result, it really makes the skin glowy and fresh. But here is a little summary of the pros and cons :

PROS :

• Nice glowy color good on any time of the day
• Long lasting
• Buildable
• Easy to apply, no powdery effect
• Golden Shimmer included, no need to apply highlighter

 CONS :

• Very pricey : 30€
• Not enough pigmented compared to other nars blushers, 3 swatches were necessary 

Many of you tend to say that Nars Orgasm is a dupe of Sleek Gold Rose. They seem to be similar at a first sight :

 

BUT I do not agree, in my opinion Sleek Gold Rose is not a dupe. If you look closer, you can notice that Sleek is more of a coral blush when Nars is pinky. See on my swatches :

I do not like the Sleek one because if does not stay on your cheeks for more than 3 hours. At the end of the day you end up looking like a hot mess lol. I prefer the Nars Orgasm shade, pinky blushers look better on me.

What do you think of Nars Orgasm ? Do you think it is similar to Sleek Rose Gold ?

Barry M Nail Polish Review

 

I was recently attracted by Barry M nail polishes. I really liked the large range of colors from dark to lighter pastel shades. I decided to go for the #308 Berry shade wish was a beautiful pastel purple color. The price was relatively cheap : £2,99. What I liked about this product was the intensity of the color and its long lasting effect. But one thing wasn't in favor of this nail polish : It took way too much time to dry, around more than a minute which was a very bad point. I had to apply a gel top coat to make it dry faster. So it you are impatient like me, you probably won't like Barry M nail polishes. I don't think I would by it again :s

Have you ever tried Barry M nail polishes ? What did you think ?

NEW YEAR, NEW LIFE

 

Hello ladies, hope you're all doing well. Sorry for the delay, I know it's been a while. I was very busy those last months. Just wanted to do a little look back at this 2013 year...I have been through a LOT this year and it was not easy : ups and downs, tears, fears, joy... This years was definatly not easy. It was hard for me to keep my cool and feel good due to a lot of external facts. Recently I moved by my own from Paris to London and I learned a lot. It wasn't easy and things that I had planned went wrong. It affected me a lot but it made me stronger than ever and those last events taught me that shit happens but life goes on :), you gotta keep your head up. I think everything happens for a reason and definatly makes people stronger. When it's time to move on, do it, don't waste your time with rotten flowers.

I'll make everything to make this upcoming year a good year, take care of myself cause only my happiness matters !

Did you enjoy this 2013 year ? Good times ? Bad times ?

Mac Extra Dimension 2013

Mac Extra Dimension 2013 collection is back ! Thanks god !!!! Last year I was dying for the highlighters collection but they were out of stock. But as the collection is back I rushed to the nearest Mac store and got this amazing highlighter in "Double Definition" which was the most appropriate for my golden skin tone. And I absolutly LOVE it. I hated the the "Soft and Gentle" Mineral Skinfinish highlighter which was too powdery according but this highlighter has nothing to do with it. The texture is a mixture between cream and powder, so very easy to apply. I love the glowy effect it gives on my cheeks, see : 

It stays on your face all day and all night. I really love it and I recommend it. The only thing I'm worried about is that it belongs to a limited edition :( !!! Whyyyy ???

Have you got one of those Extra Dimension's highlighter ? Did you like it like me ?

SEPHORA PURIFYING CLEANSING GEL

 

I'm a lazy girl, I hate removing my make up with a lotion and then using a face wash. I found the perfect gel make up remover. This is a kind of face wash and a make up remover at the same time. I swear that this product removes absolutly everything ! I was pretty surprised because I used more expensive products which didn't work. But after using this, no need to add any other remover.The smell is okay and the price pretty cheap around 6€ avaible in any Sephora.

I highly recommend this remover to anyone who is lazy like me haha ;). This perfectly does the job.

Have you ever tried this product ?

FAVOURITE FRENCH MANICURE PRODUCTS

In winter, most of the time, my mood is BAD. I don't feel like wearing colorful nail polishes. So most of time, I do a simple french manincure. Let me introduce you my 3 all time favourite nail polishes :

From left to right : Pink Paris French Manicure "White", Claire's Gel top coat , Sephora  "Sugar coated"

 All dry super fastly, and give a very nice plastic shinny look to the nails as you can see (I'm not a big fan of long nails, I love them short) :

I highly recommend you the Claire's Gel Top coat which is perfect, it really gives dimension to the nails and a beautiful shine. Plus it's so cheap : only 2.99 €.

SLEEK COUNTOURING KIT + SEPHORA CREAM LIP STAIN

Sleek Contour Kit #MEDIUM

Sephora Cream Lip Stain #3

I purchased those two products a week ago and I absolutly love them. I usually contour my face with a dark bronzer but I broke it :s, so as I've read tons of good reviews on the Sleek kit, I bought it. And let me say that I'm very pleased, I didn't expected such a result ! It perfectly highlight and coutour my cheeks as you can see. It last ALL day and it's so cheap. I use it every single day right now !!

My second beauty crush is the Sephora lip stain. I love this color, it's a rosy red. I wore it last week for a party and when I got back home, I was too lazy to take off my lipstick (bad I know), and the following day when I woke up, I swear that it was on my lips ! I couldn't believe it. It's a really good liptick, you can drink, sleep, eat...do what you want, it won't fade. Plus it is matte and not glossy ;). This lipstick was suggested by Mouldy Fruit on her blog and I thank her, cause I absolulty LOVE it. It's around 10€ here in France. Efficient and affordable.

What do you think ? Have you ever tried those products ?

Biguine Blush

I've totally crushed on this Biguine Blush : the shade is called "Terre de Feu" #60207. Biguine is a famous hair dresser in France who decied to get his own make up brand. It's not expensive and the quality and packaging is actually pretty good. I was looking for a kind of orangy/coral blush for a while and I'm so happy to got this one. I absolutly love the color, it really gives an instant healthy look. The blush is a little bit powdery which makes it easier to blend, I don't waste my time picking again and again the right amount of powder with this. And the most amazing thing is that it lasts all day without any touch up. The price is really cheap, it's 11€. I'm very pleased with this blush, I think it's even better than MAC blushes. Unfortunatly there are only 5 shades. But I will definatly try some other.

DIY Studded Biker Boots

Hello ladies, I'm back in town. Summer was absolutly amazing, hope you had as much fun as me ❤.

My last obsession were those studded biker boots, very popular from Ash :

But way too pricey : 300€...so when I can't afford somthing, I make it by myself ;) ! I bought studs on ebay for 7€ and found some similar biker boots in a shop for 11€ on sale :

And turned into this :

I'm pretty pleased with the result. It took me a very long time to stud the boots, and my hands hurts...I now understand why it is that pricey lol. But I love them ❤ !

What do you think ?

Sorry ladies, it's been a long time...I'm on holidays having a good time. Here are some pictures.

 

What are your summer plans of the moment ?

Garnier Ultra Doux dry shampoo review

Dry shampoos seemed to be the new trend, so I decided to test one them. I picked the cheapest one by Garnier for 6.99€, which is actually quite expensive for a drugstore shampoo. I bought it without any conviction, but I was actually quite surprised. When you spray your hair with that product, you really feel the fresh sensation you get when you wash it with a real  shampoing...weird right ? And I swear that your hair look cleaner, just look at the picture, my hair were super greasy and now they look matte. (I took this picture the day I was washing my hair, sorry it they look dirty). Some girls complained about some white residue on hair, but I didn't notice it on my hair. Of course, this will NEVER replace a real shampoo but it contributes to maintain  your hair matte, less greasy until your next shampoo. Next thing : the smell which is a nice fresh lemon perfume, I like it. This product really reminds me a deodorant, cause the smell and the composition seems similar. I definalty think I'll buy it again, it really helps me to keep my hair fresh and clean everyday.

Have you ever tried dry shampoos ? Did you like it ?
