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 💪🏼

TANGLE TEEZER REVIEW

After years of hair disaster, I've recently decided to take care of my hair bu changing my routine. The compact Tangle Teezer caught my eyes so I've decided to give a try. I swear I thought this was a regular brush the whole time. But I was pleasantly surprised...

The packaging was crazy attractive, rose gold is such a bomb color <3...At first I thought this would be way too difficult to hold but it's actually PERFECT !

See how it fits my hand :) ! I love it !!!

Plus it got a protection, if you put in your bag, it won't scratch anything inside, how cool is that ?

And finally the best part is that it's totally doing the job guys !!! My hair may look easy to brush but it's not. I have very thin hair and I get knots very easily. It really hurt me when I try to get rid of them and the process can be long sometimes. But with this, it's like magic, the brush slides in my hair, no pain, no waste of time, it's brushes my hair in few seconds and make them knots-free and silky. See the different. I tried it with wet hair and wow it's was sooo easy !!

Definately a life changer, I will use it on a daily basis.

HOW TO FIX YOUR BROWS AFTER A BAD WAX JOB

Recently, I had to get my eyebrows waxed for a special event. I always go to the Benefit Brow Bar and get my eyebrows done with my favorite brow lady : Melissa. But that day, Melissa wasn't working...my bad. So I had to get my eyebrows done by another girl. At First I liked the result, but when I got home, I realized my brows were too thin. Back in the days I like them thin but now I like them thick since my face changed through the years. I was so pissed cause my eyebrows take for ever to grow. I almost have to wait to month to completly grow them back.
But thanks god some good products are available in the market. I went for the Total Temptation Brow Definer by Maybelline :

I was really surprised by how amazing that product was : it offers a really natural look and a beautiful color. I got the color  #SoftBrown and I love it. I use the brow spoolie to lift my eyebrows first and then I draw some little strokes. The final look is simply fantastic : from boring thin brows to fuller looking brows :

MAKEUP ROUTINE UPDATE 2018

Hello ladies, It's been a very longtime since my last post I know...I was busy but now I'm back on track with a LOT of surprises trust me ;)

I've been struggling the past years with makeup : yes makeup. Indeed my skin has been through a lot of changes and my old foundation routine just stopped working for me. It's probably due to my age, I'm in my late 20's... getting old you know. Anyway. I've tried tons of different foundations and nothing worked for me. It just looked dry, emphasizing my wrinkles and pores. I was desperate and I lost my confidence. But thanks god, no matter what I go through in life, I am always persistent and I'm trying and trying until I find what I'm looking for. One day I was thinking about my old foundation routine which was a mix of Revlon Colorstay and Maybelline Superstar foundation and I was like "hey it used to work for me when I had very bad skin so why not give it a try again ?". 

So I ordered the Revlon foundation online and got it super fast. Let me tell you one thing : I just felt SO ALIVE when I applied it on my face omg. My skin has never felt so good damn. This foundation works like magic : it makes my skin looks so soft, flawless and matte without making me look cakey and dry. It's just one of the best foundation I've EVER tried. And the best thing about it, is that it truly last all day : just a dream...

I mix #RichGinger and #RichTan to get the perfect color. And I love it. And in the center of my face, I apply my longtime trusted Mac Studio Sculpt foundation in #NC44 and I simply get the perfect flawless :)

FAVOURITE NAIL POLISHES WHEN I'M BROKE

I wanted to share my favourite nail polishes. I recently stopped working, so I have a mini beauty budget. I found those amazing nail polishes :

 1. Rimmel Super Gel nail polish. The color is good, dries very fast : 8€

3. Kiko Nail polish, beautiful, shiny and cheap : 4,90€

2. On the top of them I applied the Hema quick dry top coat. It works amazingly, and it only cost me 3.25€

Have you ever tried any of those nail polishes ?

CAUSE I'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT

Apologizes for my long break. I just didn't feel like blogging until today. Indeed, I had huge issues with what I love the most : makeup. Yes MAKEUP. I went back from summer holidays, and once I applied makeup back home, my skin looked aweful, super dry and cakey. At first I thought my skin changed because I was getting older. So I run to my local makeup stores and bought almost 4 foundations from Mac Studio Fix fluid to Marc Jacobs. None of them looked better than my old Mac Pro Longwear foundation that I have been using for 4 years. The color just didn't look good, I looked too yellow, and no long lasting power. It made me lose my confidence, I was ashamed to go out, to look at a mirror in a store. I thought that it was the end, that no foundation would ever make me happy and confident again.

But thanks god, I was thinking  and thinking...trying to find out why this foundation that I've been using for 4 years became all of a sudden unwearable ? I found the answer : CLIMATE CHANGES. I went from a hot counrty to a cold one. It changed the color and the consistency of my foundations. So i went back my Mac store and got back brand new foundations. Back home, tried them on my face and just like magic, it looked as beautiful and flawless as it used to be before. I am the happiest girl in the world now. Thanks god, now I'm ready to blog again.

 

So as a lesson, if you feel like your all time favourite foundation doesn't work on you anymore, just mak sure it's not because of any climate channges.

Have you ever been through some makeup problems ?

NEW FAVOURITE LIPSTICK

28.06.2015

Let me introduce the only lipstick I currently swear by : Marc Jacobs Lip Gel lipstick in the shade "Boy Gorgeous". I usually don't buy high brand lipstick but I made an exception for this. Indeed, I was in my local sephora when I came across a lady who was wearing the most beautiful pink I had ever seen. Of course I immediately asked her what she was wearing on her lips. She simply showed me the Marc Jacobs corner. I tried it and just felt in love with the color. I LOVE it. It is so flatering on my skintone and looks so edgy :

 

Such a beautiful intense pink 

Not only the colour looks stunning plus the packaging is so elegant and casual with I love. It doesn't dry the lips at all and offers a beautiful matte look on your lips almost all day. I will repurchase this lipstick for sure and I would totally recommend it !

HOW I SAVED MY HAIR

Two years ago I felt for that ombre hair trend. I liked it at first, I felt so cool, it was the first time that I was dying my hair that light. I went from dark hair to blond : 

What I didn't know was that it was just a BIG mistake. It completely ruined my hair : I had horrible knots, brushing them  was a very hard time and my hair started breaking very easily. My hair was so dry and uneven as you can see :

But thanks god, some magic products exist to fix bad hair problem. Here are my routine products :

1. Head & Shoulders shampoo : That is the only shampoo that doesn't grease my hair, it just makes my hair soft and light.

2.John Freida Frizz Ease Miraculous Recovery mask : By far the BEST mask I have ever tried. In 5 minutes, you get insanely soft and shinny hair. It smells amazing, and works even after months and months of use. I only swear by this mask, I could not live without it.

Those two products definatly contribuated to recover my hair damage. But I also use once a week that magic stuff called COCONUT OIL. At first I though it was just a trend but it actually works amazingly. I apply the oil 3 to 1 hour before I wash my hair. After a few use I've noticed some dramatic changes on my hair : no more knots, but gorgeous soft shinny hair :) !

I totally recommend coconut oil to all of you, I promise you will get amazing results. Just look at my hair now, I just went from zero to hero haha :

E.L.F MATTE LIP COLOR #RichRed REVIEW

 

I saw this lipstick on a Youtube makeup tutorial and I totally crushed on the color called  "Rich Red". 

Almost impossible to get it online as it was sold out everywhere. But thanks god after a month, I finally found it on Amazon and I got it yay... And I am very pleased with the product. It is similar to a chubby liptick but with a matte finish as claimed by the product's name :

But I won't say it is 100% matte, it is between matte and sheer which is perfect cause it doesn't make your lips dry. Your lips are moisturized with a light matte finish. The color is pretty pigmented, and shows on dark skins like mine which a good point. It is the perfect effortless casual red that you can wear on any occasion, that's what I like the most about this lipstick. You don't look like you tried so hard to look good with red lips as you can see :

But one thing I was disapointed with was the poor lasting power of this lipstick. After three little hours I noticed the color started fading. So you need to touch up like 3 times a day unfortunalty. That is the only bad side of this Matte Lip Color. Anyway, for the cheap price, it totally worth it. I really love the color and I will definatly purchase this again cause it just the perfect red to keep it simple.

THE BEST CONTOUR BRUSH EVER

I am not into crazy dramatic contouring, but love the bony cheeks looks, it gives more dimension to my face. 

I use a powder bronzing powder by Nars in the shade Casino. I used to used the Real Techniques Contour brush but I felt like I was wasting too much product and too much time contouring my cheeks as the brush was small and round. This why I decided to make a change and go for a flat Nars's inspired "Ita brush", of course way too expensive for my little budget. I went on Aliexpress.com (Ebay Style super cheap website) and found exactly was I was looking for : 

A large, long flat brush. The brush is even better than I have been expecting : the quality is just really good. The brush truely looks like a high brand brush, I love it and it's super soft. It really helps me contouring : In a second a obtain a perfectly contoured cheek and it wastes way less powder than with my RT brush, the difference is HUGE.

Girls you need this brush in your life ;) !!! If you want to get this brush, just let me know and I will give you the link.

Which brush do you use for contouring ladies ?

SOAP & GLORY 

BEAUTY SLEEP ACCELERATOR : NEVER AGAIN

 

 

I have been looking for so long for a night cream and I was really happy when I came across this Soap&Glory night cream called the "Beauty Sleep Accelerator" : a cream that was supposed to hydrate the skin all night long. The retro packaging totally attracted me like a magnet and I have heard tons of good things about this brand so I decided to purchase this product. 

Back home, I was super excited to try the cream. Once I opened it, I was hypnotized by the delicious peachy perfume of this cream with a smoothy texture.  

This cream looked absolutly perfect at first sight  and I really thought it would be my best friend lol. So I naively applied the cream all over my face before going sleeping. I felt my skin was perfectly hydrated.

BUT when I woke the following day, the hydratation was completly gone and I felt like my skin was kinda rough. I looked myself in the mirror and bad surprise : I had little spots all over my face ewwww...Of course it was caused by this cream. It took almost a week to get my face back to normal. I even went to see the doctor and he told me I was allergic to the perfume of the cream which was particulary smelly. 

Anyway, I was extremely disapointed by this cream : the lack of hydratation and the composition which was obviously not adapted to all skintones. I would NOT recommend this cream if you have a sensitive skin or allergies. 

Have you ever tried Beauty Sleep Accelerator ? Did you go through the same struggle as me ? Or did you enjoy it ?

SUPERDRUG INTENSE VOLUME EDITION 31 LASHES REVIEW

I was looking for some good lashes in a rush when I was in UK, I had a party that night and I came across those long falsies in Superdrug. They were pretty cheap, around £2.99, I was like "let's give a try, they look cool". But I waq wrong, I actually hated those lashes. I though would look good because of their lenght but they were absolutly NOT. They looked really unnatural and does not make your eyes pretty. In my opinion, they are too long and gives a tired look to the eyes. I do not recommend buying those falsies, they look cheap and too fake. See by yourself :

Which lashes would you not recommend ?
