Why did I buy that?I know why, I wanted to make my own opinion.<br />
Thanks to Glam Life Guru, girl you're just like EssieButton... the ... beauty temptress...<br />
And for the price of the full size I got one full size of the clarifying mask and half a dose of the moisturizing one.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I must say that the clarifying one is just really clarifying.<br />
You probably wonder what I mean by that:<br />
<br />
If you have really sensitive skin : STAY AWAY.<br />
<br />
Luckily I'm not as my skin is oily let's say it's ok, but I do need to moisturize it well after.<br />
<br />
It is very tingly, very fun and quite weird to use, but still it does the job.<br />
My skin got some mystery glow appearing and I'm sure it's because of it.<br />
<br />
I won't use it every week, because let's be honest 49 euros it's a prize and I'm not Cresus...<br />
<br />
But still if you want to splurge a bit on a mask : go for it :)<br />
<br />
Well see you next time!<br />

<br />
Back from holiday, I poped by the pharmacy to get a "drainer" and some tablets because I suffered a severe allergy to tiger mosquitos.<br />
That wasn't nice to see...<br />
<br />
They had a "sale" on the Klorane shower gel and I just thought I would give it a try.<br />
<br />
It was buy two, get one free, so I went for these two ( the third is in my shower and is the same as the green)<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XjliDTkgHg8/U-yFRhwCNeI/AAAAAAAAAbM/wrzIeDE6jqs/s1600/Klorane%2Beveil%2Bmatinal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XjliDTkgHg8/U-yFRhwCNeI/AAAAAAAAAbM/wrzIeDE6jqs/s1600/Klorane%2Beveil%2Bmatinal.jpg" height="268" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My favorite scent is by far the "Eveil Matinal" ( Morning wakening), it is fruity, punchy and gives you the energy to start the day even if outside it's pouring rain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The red one, "Bonne Humeur" (Good mood), is more a nighty scent, a bit heavier, smelling like red berries.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since I'm using them I don't have any dry patches on my skin and it lives it very hydrated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I totally recommend this formula for the people who suffer from dry skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So the result is that I will probably try more of them, because they totally deserve the hype.</div>

A Ciaté display!<br />
<br />
Two days before I was about to order some on Sephora.fr but restrained myself.<br />
<br />
I must admit that I splurged a lot that day, but I won't spoil.<br />
<br />
So here are the two I went for.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was a bit of a problem for me to choose... oh yes a big problem. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8,79 euros each, not that expensive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Really gorgeous and I think they might replace Essie nail polishes in my favorite list.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
I'm back, step by step I try to get back into the beauty section of my life.<br />
We still struggle with the work in the house and so we're not ready yet to move...<br />
<br />
I ordered a bit of things on Sephora.fr.<br />
<br />
In the package there were some Bobbi Brown product I've been dying to try.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S1UZRu3ZtK4/U-CaF6ZVE3I/AAAAAAAAAac/LyLmZ4aa4xE/s1600/BB+makeup.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S1UZRu3ZtK4/U-CaF6ZVE3I/AAAAAAAAAac/LyLmZ4aa4xE/s1600/BB+makeup.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 lipsticks from the Creamy matte lipstick line : The 04 true Pink ( Thanks EssieButton) and the 08 Calypso.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The texture is really creamy but they stayed quite a long time. I had to do some touch ups but not that often.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Down side? They make my teeth look a bit more yellow than they really are.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 blush: The Apricot ( Thanks again EssieButton!), it is really flattering, but I'm not sure I'd be wearing that often. I don't know why I'm not really in love.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I still prefer the frat boy from The Balm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will post you some picture with a good lightning tonight, promise!</div>

<br />
Last week we had a serious heating/Hot water problem, so we had to boil the water just like you grandma' or Great Grandma' used to do.<br />
<br />
You know that I use the Johnson's baby oil religiously right before stepping out of the shower? Right?<br />
But as we couldn't take any shower I took less time to wash my face and my body and then had more time to hydrate my skin.<br />
I then decided to open the Satsuma body butter, because I needed desperately a "summery" vibe.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5OMp3jNiA1E/UwIItbZ2qiI/AAAAAAAAAZU/NwVK2Ohg1jo/s1600/DSC_1734.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5OMp3jNiA1E/UwIItbZ2qiI/AAAAAAAAAZU/NwVK2Ohg1jo/s1600/DSC_1734.JPG" height="640" width="428" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
And I noticed that I could easily use it during my bedtime routine as it take about 5 minutes to hydrate, and so since then I use it every night.<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lw1lxcEBZl0/UwIJGbiwexI/AAAAAAAAAZc/QllEHcUZn8E/s1600/DSC_1735.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lw1lxcEBZl0/UwIJGbiwexI/AAAAAAAAAZc/QllEHcUZn8E/s1600/DSC_1735.JPG" height="214" width="320" /></a><br />
And it feels so good, no greasy residue, fresh sensation, summer in you head you're ready to have sweet dreams!<br />
<br />
Somehow this heat/hot water problem showed me that sometimes it takes the tiniest amount of time to take care of yourself!<br />
<br />
Any tip to share?<br />
<br />
XoXo<br />

<br />
Last week I introduced to my favorite highlighter, now it's time to introduce to its companion : The Balm Frat boy.<br />
It's not a secret, I love The Balm, and I'm totally Happy we can finally find them in Belgium.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-apScmVU6m4U/UwIFZBkc0qI/AAAAAAAAAZA/_aTGn6B1HPM/s1600/DSC_1723.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-apScmVU6m4U/UwIFZBkc0qI/AAAAAAAAAZA/_aTGn6B1HPM/s1600/DSC_1723.JPG" height="640" width="428" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
This blush is really pigmented, and some kind of buttery in the texture but one you blend it, it gives you a health rosy cheek.<br />
It is really long lasting and you don't need any touch ups during the day, which is good as it has the same king of packaging as the Soap&Glory highlighter and so, it is not very recommended to have it in your handbag<br />
<br />
<u>Down sides:</u><br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The Packaging: Carton - Messy- risky to travel with.</li>
<li>Pigmentation: (Half down side cause it is also positive) if you're not careful you can easily look like a clown.</li>
</ul>

<br />
Do you have favorite perfume?<br />
I have a bunch of them. Usually I love strong scent that last all day or quite all day.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zSX4yJXbR2w/UwIBqYX5cuI/AAAAAAAAAY0/nHyatpjUmcc/s1600/DSC_1733.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zSX4yJXbR2w/UwIBqYX5cuI/AAAAAAAAAY0/nHyatpjUmcc/s1600/DSC_1733.JPG" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
For the moment as it's the winter time ( what winter? well the one that's not outside...), I wear My Lady million a lot.<br />
That's what I call a statement perfume, the scent is really particular, quite cold and strong.<br />
Chunky Bottle, heavy, not easy to carry over in the handbag, and I didn't find a way to transfer it into Travallo.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WBwvZPdSm6k/UwH_-iHjctI/AAAAAAAAAYg/pj_IJOxvOcc/s1600/DSC_1730.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WBwvZPdSm6k/UwH_-iHjctI/AAAAAAAAAYg/pj_IJOxvOcc/s1600/DSC_1730.JPG" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
This is my day perfume, because yes I wear perfume at night. But a cheaper one , strong scented, but more on the warm ans spicy side.<br />
And for the moment it is "Heat" by Beyonce. I doubted I would like this, but Buster came back with it when he went shopping and told me he relly loved it.<br />
I tried and adopted it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MBQFG9BQuLc/UwIBLSVZPSI/AAAAAAAAAYs/zExesEHWF60/s1600/DSC_1729.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MBQFG9BQuLc/UwIBLSVZPSI/AAAAAAAAAYs/zExesEHWF60/s1600/DSC_1729.JPG" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I know it's weird to wear perfume when you're going to bed, but this way I have the impression that the bedroom smell nice and the sheets as well.<br />
<br />
It's all mental I know but it helps me to have a good night sleep so...<br />
<br />
Did you every tried celebrities perfume?<br />
<br />

<br />
Oily skin rimes often oily eyelids, ok it doesn't really rimes but hey, I do what I can ...<br />
I"m always looking for a good eyelid primer and except Urban decay I cannot find one that is as good as them... except... the Nars one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tuabQmpJccA/UwH7M4LPOnI/AAAAAAAAAYM/rGQkdsrSWqw/s1600/DSC_1726.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tuabQmpJccA/UwH7M4LPOnI/AAAAAAAAAYM/rGQkdsrSWqw/s1600/DSC_1726.JPG" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Which is quite expensive... but actually, I prefer this one to the UD ones, I don't really know why, but I feel like it is less "oily" and the shadows stay where they're supposed to be.<br />
Not that it is not the case with the UD ones, but at the end of a long day they crease a bit.<br />
<br />
The down sides ( yes there are some...nobody's perfect...):<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cbDL8LL1uNc/UwH7MFLhTNI/AAAAAAAAAYI/e_yOnMeXUaA/s1600/DSC_1727.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cbDL8LL1uNc/UwH7MFLhTNI/AAAAAAAAAYI/e_yOnMeXUaA/s1600/DSC_1727.JPG" height="214" width="320" /></a>
<li>The packaging : as all the Nars products it gets messy even though you take good care of it.</li>
<li>The price: 25,00€ for 8gr</li>
<li>Availability in Belgium : NONE, you have to go to Sephora ( Shops or website in France), NarsCosmetics.fr, Asos.com</li>
</ul>
<div>
If you can get you hands on it and you wanna splurge on a good primer, go ahead, cause it lasts very long for the quantity you get.</div>

<br />
Let me introduce you to the "Soap and Glory - Glow all out".<br />
This is an highlighter I bought during my trip to London and I only use this one since.<br />
It is a soft, peachy/pinky iridescence that can be combined with any blush.<br />
As I have a very fair skin with rosy undertone, it is perfect and subtle.<br />
No Disco ball, and I really love it paired with a special blush I will talk about later.<br />

<br />
<br />
One down side: even though the packaging is cute, it is not meant to carried over everywhere as it is carton.<br />
I mean the you can see that it is a bit dirty, and I've never traveled with in my make up bag.<br />
It is always gently sitting on my beauty table.<br />

<br />
Another down side?<br />
We can't find it easily in Belgium. Which is a shame, because it is really affordable.<br />
I can't wait to test the rest of the product, as I will definitely rush into some "<i>Boots</i>" the next time I'm going to London.<br />

<br />
I wanna tell you a secret. I love Essie Nail polishes. I've never be disappointed by them, they last quite long and they have a kind of interesting large range of colors.<br />
<br />
I've heard they can become a bit thick with time but my secret to avoid that is to keep them away from the light.<br />
They are "locked" in a box" ( too small now).<br />
<br />
Last month I bought the " Bouncer, it's me" it is a really gorgeous Navy blue, I thought it would be easy to put on BUT hell it was not!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
First coat after my base was so liquidy and so translucid that it was ridiculous, let it dry a bit, put another coat and it wasn't that good, let it dry again and put a third coat with which I was finally happy with. I applied my good go top coat and literally two hours later : Chipped... yes it was chipped... which never happens so fast with Essie nail polish and especially when I use the Essie base and the top coat.<br />
<br />
I'm a bit sad because I wanted to love the color so bad...<br />
I don't know if one of you got this problem with this nail polish, or if you had it with another one.<br />
<br />
Just let me know in the comments!<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful day m loves!<br />

<br />
Today I would like to present you my combo for a flawless skin for a girls night our evening.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CUwtD_19Neo/Uu-cVfqLmfI/AAAAAAAAAWA/tKbc_8OFxLk/s1600/DSC_1697.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CUwtD_19Neo/Uu-cVfqLmfI/AAAAAAAAAWA/tKbc_8OFxLk/s1600/DSC_1697.JPG" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
First I'm spraying a bit of MAC fix plus on a clean and hydrated skin. Than I apples the Time Balm in a thin layer.<br />
<br />
Because I noticed that without the fie plus it has the tendency to slip where I'm a bit oily.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t9G_J5yG0R4/Uu-c4w3IJ1I/AAAAAAAAAWI/xWMIEh9gOP4/s1600/DSC_1698.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t9G_J5yG0R4/Uu-c4w3IJ1I/AAAAAAAAAWI/xWMIEh9gOP4/s1600/DSC_1698.JPG" height="640" width="428" /></a></div>
<br />
Than I spay some more fix plus to set the product, because obviously I'm not gonna be out only for a couple of hours and there are a lot chances that I'll be dancing all night.<br />
After that I use the Nars Sheer Glow in the shade Mont Blanc Which I apply with a real techniques brush. You cannot find it in Belgium, but Sephora.fr can help you or if you're lucky to live near the French boxer then you're good !<br />
<br />
I really like this foundation. Even if I have a combo to oily skin, this doesn't make me look like a disco ball. I do have to powder it but not that much and without the fie plus it stays on at least 6 hours.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MX7zlbtqRtg/Uu-eaTffHnI/AAAAAAAAAWU/yuLRDyMM9LI/s1600/DSC_1699.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MX7zlbtqRtg/Uu-eaTffHnI/AAAAAAAAAWU/yuLRDyMM9LI/s1600/DSC_1699.JPG" height="640" width="428" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B20Ws3HS584/Uu-eapb4EUI/AAAAAAAAAWY/9N24YOa8gE0/s1600/DSC_1700.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-B20Ws3HS584/Uu-eapb4EUI/AAAAAAAAAWY/9N24YOa8gE0/s1600/DSC_1700.JPG" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Than I come back with some fix plus ( a bit more) to be sure everything set into place.<br />
I don't powder when I go out to dance, because I don't want to have the weird powdery look on pictures.<br />
So I use and use more the fix plus.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_L2Q7i6Lt2M/Uu-fhbWfPeI/AAAAAAAAAWo/bxK6UXl_w1Q/s1600/DSC_1701.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_L2Q7i6Lt2M/Uu-fhbWfPeI/AAAAAAAAAWo/bxK6UXl_w1Q/s1600/DSC_1701.JPG" height="640" width="428" /></a></div>
<br />
So that's my complete combo for a flawless skin in the disco...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B6pg3SQrShQ/Uu-fk2YbSEI/AAAAAAAAAW8/mL13Ewlp3dA/s1600/DSC_1702.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B6pg3SQrShQ/Uu-fk2YbSEI/AAAAAAAAAW8/mL13Ewlp3dA/s1600/DSC_1702.JPG" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
Here is the first "what's in my daily bag".<br />
Not long ago, I made a crazy buy... I say crazy because I wouldn't even thought I could.<br />
But then came the sales.<br />
<br />
I discussed that with "The Hub" who quite accepted. And so that's how the MK babe arrived at home.<br />
It is a Bedford Satchel Medium.<br />
You can carry it with the two handles as a regular bag or with the strap on the shoulder or across the body.<br />
<br />
It is a really thick leather and very structured.<br />
You can have quite a lot of things in it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--_YiTEhqytk/Uu9t9gZI5bI/AAAAAAAAAUc/BajZGq-aSuA/s1600/DSC_1686.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--_YiTEhqytk/Uu9t9gZI5bI/AAAAAAAAAUc/BajZGq-aSuA/s1600/DSC_1686.JPG" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Here is a sneak peek :<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z7S9szgTQwY/Uu9uhadTQGI/AAAAAAAAAUk/wkYA3UIqjzw/s1600/DSC_1691.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z7S9szgTQwY/Uu9uhadTQGI/AAAAAAAAAUk/wkYA3UIqjzw/s1600/DSC_1691.JPG" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I really love the golden details, I usually am a silver person, but here the details aren't so bling bling.<br />
The bag is really classy and can be easily associated with everything and that's what decided me for this model in comparaison to the monogrammed style and the colored ones.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-njJJ7e_7XFs/Uu9wGNTD9nI/AAAAAAAAAUw/Cwj8WCN7bsU/s1600/DSC_1687.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-njJJ7e_7XFs/Uu9wGNTD9nI/AAAAAAAAAUw/Cwj8WCN7bsU/s1600/DSC_1687.JPG" height="640" width="428" /></a></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So in this bag, I can easily put:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>My make up bag</li>
<li>My brushes bag</li>
<li>My pencil bag</li>
<li>My tiny agenda</li>
<li>My wallet </li>
<li>My gummy change purse</li>
<li>My phone</li>
<li>My perfume</li>

<br />
As I finally found a store that sell trendy, fitting clothes for my body shape, I wanted to share a poorly done OOTD.<br />
<br />
This is a really large pink top, with cute little lace details on the side of the arms.<br />
A skinny jeans ( which isn't skinny any more cause I lost a few extra pounds since I bought it.).<br />
<br />
I'm Sorry for the quality of the picture, but they're sone with my phone and it is an old phone.<br />

<br />
Guess what!<br />
I didn't buy anything lately! Miracle? Yes indeed!<br />
So let's talk about the products I've used up and their successors.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uqhiVq_1IAQ/UugRGxSPO5I/AAAAAAAAATE/21IvhAy4S8c/s1600/DSC_1655.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uqhiVq_1IAQ/UugRGxSPO5I/AAAAAAAAATE/21IvhAy4S8c/s1600/DSC_1655.JPG" height="428" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Family Portrait.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
The first product is in fact two, because I've used up two of these olive scrub from The Body Shop.<br />
<div>
I really love this one and I keep buying it. </div>
<div>
I even bought the larger size during the sales. </div>
<div>
For the moment its successor is the Ginger bread scrub, also from TBS but, I'm convinced.</div>
<div>
I find it way less efficient, but I'll come back to that later.</div>
<div>
So do I buy the olive one again? Well it's obvious...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I also used up the Sampar face scrub and I freaking loved it. It is very gentle and perfect for my sensitive oily skin.</div>
<div>
It is in the pricy side, but it lasts me 3 months and my skin was just thanking it every two days.</div>
<div>
Do I want to repurchase it? Yes, but not now</div>
<div>
Successor? I don't know yet.</div>
<div>

<br />
Next is an eyeliner. A Maybelline one. And I'm very disappointed about that one.<br />
It dried really quickly and before it dried, the tip went so loose that il was totally impossible to be precise when drawing the wing.<br />
Do I repurchase it? hell no!<br />
Successor? The Bourjois I presented in the last haul<br />
<br />

<br />
Next is the Bioderma Sebium H2O and I'm not quite sure I like this version.<br />
It was nice but I had a really hard time to finish it, but really. And I don't know why...<br />
No apparent reason because it was efficient.<br />
Do I repurchase it? No, I prefer the pink version<br />
Successor? The pink version<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Next is the Clinique Clarifying lotion for combo to oily skin.<br />
No need to tell that I'm obsessed with it.<br />
Do I repurchase it? Already did<br />
Successor? Itself!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wtAkX3hcq_A/UugV6FIM4cI/AAAAAAAAATs/3HGhowq9Q0g/s1600/DSC_1662.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wtAkX3hcq_A/UugV6FIM4cI/AAAAAAAAATs/3HGhowq9Q0g/s1600/DSC_1662.JPG" height="640" width="428" /></a></div>
<br />
Last but not least the brush cleaner.<br />
It is cheap ( less than 3 euros), and it is efficient, the negative side: it goes empty too fast.<br />
Do I repurchase it? Already did<br />
Successor? Itself!<br />
<br />
And you what are your empties?<br />
<br />
See you on Wednesday my loves!<br />
<br />

<br />
Today is a sunday love a bit different because I won't talk about a beauty product.<br />
Oh well, it is an inner beauty product if I may say.<br />
I'm talking about the smoothie.<br />
I know we're in the middle of the winter, but I can guaranty you that you can have a smoothie even during winter time.<br />
<br />
I usually drink two types of smoothies.<br />
<br />
The first one is the sweet one. So I mow frozen berries, with half of a frozen banana, 1:3 of water and a 1/2 spoon of Wheat powder, plus a tea spoon of Lemon juice.<br />
<br />
This smoothie is perfect for lunch time when you know in advance that you won't have the time to eat correctly.<br />
I usually do them 3 times a week.<br />
<br />
<br />
The second one is a green smoothies with frozen spinach and frozen zucchini's, with 1/3 of tomato/carrot juice and 1/3 of water and a spoon of peanut butter.<br />
I know it sounds weird, but it is the perfect light evening meal knowing that you have everything you need.<br />
On the day I'm taking these I make sure I have some proteins for lunch.<br />
It's not a diet for me it is more like a beauty regime, knowing that my skins feels better and that I tend to reduce the oily appearance.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8mzZtm3rYV0/UugPsaQA2sI/AAAAAAAAAS8/ytncMrUNg64/s1600/1796679_10151865818977066_945009247_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8mzZtm3rYV0/UugPsaQA2sI/AAAAAAAAAS8/ytncMrUNg64/s1600/1796679_10151865818977066_945009247_n.jpg" height="640" width="468" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Pay attention to not have 2 smoothies a day, because your stomach will then have much more problems to process solid food.<br />
The smoothies are a good way to take greens in your meals and it is really yummy.<br />
Regarding the Wheat protein powder, be careful and use only the lean protein if you intend to lose weight.<br />
Don't take those for body builders.<br />
<br />
I only take Half a spoon because, my intestins aren't ok to have a full spoon, so I reduced it to make it more healthy for me.<br />

<br />
Today I'm gonna talk about my hands. I've got super dry hands and so I've got the tendency to chip my fingers to remove the dry patches.<br />
Ewwww I know it's digesting, that's why I try to apply hand cream as much as possible.<br />
<br />
I've got two types of hand cream:<br />
<br />
First it is the one I can keep easily in my bag, and so I went for the Neutrogena Quick absorption.<br />
The tube is in plastic and so no risk to have a perforation accident.<br />
This cream is quite good, and really penetrates the skin easy, quickly without leaving an oily feelings on.<br />
<br />
Neutrogena is well known for their hand cream, usually Norwegian formula, to induce in your mind the fact that you need this when the weather act like... you know what I mean ....<br />
Well I love this one really much, it does the job.<br />
<br />
The second one I keep on my night table is the Almond Hand cream from The Body Shop ( I promise , I'm not paid by TBS), this cream is thicker and penetrates less quickly, leaves a thin oily feelings, and has a "metallic"-Aluminium tube, which isn't really good when you have a huge bag, because the more it gets squeezed, the more you might get a hole in the packaging and then have hand cream all over your bag... based on a true story.<br />
So I leave it on the night table and use it just before I turn the lights off.<br />
I love it better than the Neutrogena, i've got the impression that it hydrates my hands why better.<br />
<br />

<br />
Last friday I went out for a girls night, and I thought I could show you what I wore.<br />
I'm not really at ease to show you the outfit on me but well OOTN is what it is, you have to show the people what it looks like...<br />
<br />
So here is the outfit:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hwn89GVbzws/UuT6YqVYnlI/AAAAAAAAASY/Wy6gXti5f9c/s1600/1615214_10151860625997066_486428259_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hwn89GVbzws/UuT6YqVYnlI/AAAAAAAAASY/Wy6gXti5f9c/s1600/1615214_10151860625997066_486428259_n.jpg" height="478" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Quite all of it comes from M&S mode, so the top is a golden shimmery tunique and the pants are a "Faux-leather" pair.<br />
<br />
The shoes are from Pronti:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iOjAUxOX8cI/UuT6YXEzahI/AAAAAAAAASg/s4tkp9jB7B0/s1600/1600304_10151860626002066_447175604_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iOjAUxOX8cI/UuT6YXEzahI/AAAAAAAAASg/s4tkp9jB7B0/s1600/1600304_10151860626002066_447175604_n.jpg" height="640" width="478" /></a></div>
<br />
They have a kind of satin finish and I really loved the golden buckle detail.<br />
<br />
The clutch is also from Pronti and has also a Satin finish.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tAQJnmG-tT0/UuT6YqC3jqI/AAAAAAAAASo/h3XjLeICDaY/s1600/1615250_10151860625992066_115850251_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tAQJnmG-tT0/UuT6YqC3jqI/AAAAAAAAASo/h3XjLeICDaY/s1600/1615250_10151860625992066_115850251_n.jpg" height="640" width="478" /></a></div>
You cannot have much in there, just your phone, some money your ID car and your driving licence.<br />
But it was only for a night so it doesn't really matter.<br />
<br />
Here the outfit on me.<br />
I will add a black belt next time, but I couldn't find a nice one so I went for the "No-belt" style.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vw0OdrE7CNM/UuT7xVMkQhI/AAAAAAAAASs/tBqcR9YAS4A/s1600/1560381_10151859186507066_2050823062_n.jpg+2014-01-26+13-03-45.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vw0OdrE7CNM/UuT7xVMkQhI/AAAAAAAAASs/tBqcR9YAS4A/s1600/1560381_10151859186507066_2050823062_n.jpg+2014-01-26+13-03-45.jpg" height="640" width="266" /></a></div>
Sorry for the quality of the picture but phones pics are the worst, knowing that I had to crop it to get rid of my head ...<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful day my loves!<br />
<br />

<br />
Here is the final Haul.<br />
I must admit that this year, the period wasn't really fruitful, and the discounts were not that exceptional except this last week at The Body Shop.<br />
<br />
SO let's Start with Planet Parfum ( If you're French it's a bit like Nocibé).<br />
I wasn't really going in to buy anything else than the Clarifying lotion from Clinique, but just to have a look.<br />
And I ended to buy Helena Rubinstein products. Only skin and lips care, but usually I can't afford HR skin care.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N5Mad7gXBB0/UuTvU7dDV8I/AAAAAAAAAQI/QxkWtixVX7Q/s1600/DSC_1647.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N5Mad7gXBB0/UuTvU7dDV8I/AAAAAAAAAQI/QxkWtixVX7Q/s1600/DSC_1647.JPG" height="640" width="428" /></a></div>
<br />
So The Collagenist Pore Genius was 10 percent off as was the Collagenist lip Zoom.<br />
I paid the Clinique lotion full price.<br />
I'm currently trying the HR products so I will probably tell you more about soon.<br />
So yes 10 percent is just not enough, but I have a Businness card ( thanks my daily job) and so got 20 percent more.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IN7fR73EeZk/UuTxJREvUqI/AAAAAAAAAQU/GAN0o7OPTpE/s1600/DSC_1648.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IN7fR73EeZk/UuTxJREvUqI/AAAAAAAAAQU/GAN0o7OPTpE/s1600/DSC_1648.JPG" height="640" width="428" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2SoK_K8oq_8/UuTxJAAlD8I/AAAAAAAAAQQ/59N2Dp_uz2E/s1600/DSC_1650.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2SoK_K8oq_8/UuTxJAAlD8I/AAAAAAAAAQQ/59N2Dp_uz2E/s1600/DSC_1650.JPG" height="640" width="428" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OF6Q4RT0eDs/UuTxjJv5FKI/AAAAAAAAARA/aAlZ7xoBd3g/s1600/DSC_1654.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OF6Q4RT0eDs/UuTxjJv5FKI/AAAAAAAAARA/aAlZ7xoBd3g/s1600/DSC_1654.JPG" height="640" width="428" /></a></div>
<br />
So they better be efficient because I have high hopes for them and for my skin!<br />
Let's go to Di and The Body Shop:<br />
<br />
At The Body Shop they got the 70% off and then I got a 400ml of their Olive scrub ( which I really love) and the 200ml of their Olive Shower gel, each for 5,40 euros, plus a 5 euros discount as I have reach it on my fidelity card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lrCa_Ry-JvA/UuTz8RYJZmI/AAAAAAAAARM/wZzZxbYqgso/s1600/DSC_1667.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lrCa_Ry-JvA/UuTz8RYJZmI/AAAAAAAAARM/wZzZxbYqgso/s1600/DSC_1667.JPG" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I went the Grocery store I decided I had to try the Covergirl range.... well the counter wasn't big but I went for a Natural quad ( I don't have the name ) and a oil control foundation which doesn't go out of the bottle because it is clearly really thick, and so I will have to find a solution.... OR maybe you have one for me...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XPY9jLAD4aM/UuT1d422z9I/AAAAAAAAARY/og71Fi9FZXs/s1600/DSC_1673.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XPY9jLAD4aM/UuT1d422z9I/AAAAAAAAARY/og71Fi9FZXs/s1600/DSC_1673.JPG" height="640" width="428" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Qe_CozcEH40/UuT1e48cEUI/AAAAAAAAARg/czx1DOSyvOY/s1600/DSC_1674.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Qe_CozcEH40/UuT1e48cEUI/AAAAAAAAARg/czx1DOSyvOY/s1600/DSC_1674.JPG" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So Now let's go to DI:<br />
<br />
I needed a new eyeliner and so I went for the new Bourjois in a black color. I really like it so far and I think I'm gonna go buy the brown color.<br />
I also bought a l'Oréal Glam Shine Chubby Stick (909- Mad for Pomegranate) and a L'Oréal Color riche (110).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You probably know her already, but she is my favorite one. Canadian, she moved to England to be with the one she loves.<br />
She is funny and I can watch 5 videos in a row without getting enough. Yes, it's creepy.<br />
I also enjoy a lot the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/essiebuttonvlogs" target="_blank">vlog channel</a> she feeds with Aslan. And please how can we not talk about Reggie? uh? this dog is so sweet!<br />
<br />
I also enjoy reading <a href="http://www.essiebutton.com/" target="_blank">her blog</a>, even though I'm not a huger comment poster.<br />
<br />
Just right after here comes:<br />
<br />

Ingrid is sweet fresh and lives in LA, I really love watching her video as well as Estée's.<br />
I first discover her through <a href="http://missglamorazzi.blogspot.be/" target="_blank">her blog</a>, which isn't really up-to-date since 2010...<br />
But she always has good advice when it comes to oily skin and DIY.<br />
<br />
Oh! in third position we stay in LA....<br />

She is the shopping Coupon Queen, I really wish I was living in the States for the moment.<br />

First I must admit that I found her a bit too posh, but with time I just had to admit that I loved her video and that "English" style was a very delight moment in the day.<br />
Now I cannot skip one her video and I really fell in love with her two doggies.<br />
<br />
So well here are the main youtuber I'm watching.<br />
There's a French/ Belgian youtuber as well, but they come just right after.<br />
I'm thinking of Audrey Marshmaloo, ElsaMakeup, etc...<br />

The “Extremely rich compensating cream” d’Avène.<u></u><u></u><br />

I’ve got combination to oily skin, which means I’m oily on the T-Zone and dry mainly on my cheeks and just above the eyebrow ( Yes that’s weird I know…), that means that winter is just a nightmare for my skin.<u></u><u></u><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I’ve tried a lot of creams the past years but none of them could comfort my skin as the “Extremely rich compensating cream” d’Avène, it has the consistency of a butter, but when you apply it, it leaves a fresh sensation.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
And I see a real difference, the dry patches are gone and my skin well hydrated. Of course as it is really rich, I’ve got some residue when I wake up, but my face looks less tired and more plumpy.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I know that a lot of specialists say that combo and oily skin have to use matifying or oil control products, and I’m ok with that during the day because I don’t want to look like a disco ball BUT for the night time I prefer using and a super hydrating products.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Oily skins need water as well, so yes I drink a lot of water and infusion but I like to feel reassured for the night time.<u></u><u></u></div>

Well if you have dry and sensitive skin this cream can be used at day time as well, don’t hesitate to try it, same for the combo-oily skin, but only for night time to avoid the discoball syndrome .<u></u><u></u></div>

Hi Beauty and life lovers!<u></u><u></u></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I’m Babs and I’m a shopaholic.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
(Usually here you reply : “Hi Babs! “ But let’s forget that for this time.)<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I really have a problem, or is it may be temporary?<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I don’t know but for the moment I love shopping for clothes which is unusual for me as I never find what I want even if in the curve shops.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Let me explain. I’m obese, we shouldn’t be afraid of the words, because it makes the situation more realistic, and I never love my body.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Younger I wasn’t obese, I was a dancer, and danced quite 24 hours a week and so I could have all the clothes I wanted but even then I didn’t accept my body shape, thing I found profoundly ridiculous now as I had curves where they needed to be.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
So what happened?<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I met a boy… yes, it always starts as such. This guy was so jealous that I had to stop dancing and then I put on weight, not a lot but too much for me and decided to go consult a nutritionist : A FATAL ERROR AS OCCURRED….<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Yes, it was a fatal error, this guy , I will call him the Guru, gave me this really restrictive diet, which naturally worked as I wasn’t allowed to eat red meat, cheese and yoghurt or chocolate, no exception.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I lost about 7 kilos, which was too much as we could see my bones and I started to have blood pressure and sugar deficiency, not good when you’re in the middle of school exams session.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I returned to the Guru and asked for the stabilization phase, but he refused and told me to stop the diet and restart it after the exams session. Thing I obviously couldn’t do as it was too restrictive.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
So I put on weight… more and more to reach in June 2013 : 111 kg<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
So at 18 I was : 59kg - 20, I was : 65kg and 10 years later at 30 , I was 111.5 kg and hated myself more than ever as I couldn’t find any clothes that fitted me.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
This was the shock, but I didn’t do anything to lose weight, my body started to lose on its own, which it’s totally unusual for me.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Now 6 months later I’m at 99 kg, which is good. But I still hate my body.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
I’m eating healthier, I started to to exercises and go for a Walk/run twice a week.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
My main problem is that I’m in between “normal” size and “Curve” size.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
SO I can’t go shop to the usual shops but I cannot shop to the curve shops as well…<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
One doesn’t go high enough in size, the others do but the smallest size is too large.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
So I struggle a lot.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
This Monday I went to a store called “M&S mode” ( no, it’s not Mark & Spencer).<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
This shop as usually a reputation to be an “old lady” shop, but they’re changing their image, and have some younger clothes and styles now, and not more expensive than the size 42!<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Which is good because, the bigger you are, the more you pay… ( Just look to the Paprika Price range… and usually you just look like you put a garbage bag on you, nothing is flattering).<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Oh you’ll say that NewLook as bigger size for the same price… in the UK and maybe in other country yes, but in Belgium, they don’t have bottoms over the size 44…<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
And when I asked why to the shop manager, she told me : Because bigger people don’t like shopping and so we don’t sell enough of these size…. Very nice…<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
All that to say that I finally found a store that has my size!<u></u><u></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

So here is the look I’ve got today:</div>

<br />
We're almost done with the series : Babs went went wrong.<br />
There will be an ultimate One next week with my weak treasure from the sales.<br />
<br />
As you probably read earlier on the blog, I have a poo in this haul, yes, the presentation of the pimple maker was donc before the haul... shame on me but I had to...<br />
But at least you can see that the products have been collected in time.<br />
<br />
I've also been weak... very weak and went back for the third box. But to move forward I really have to imagine the home decoration we'll have in the new apartment...<br />
<br />
Well let's see what I got:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G6FbJHSTiVw/Utvh2wkbKdI/AAAAAAAAANA/JmpmhNV71xw/s1600/DSC_1618.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G6FbJHSTiVw/Utvh2wkbKdI/AAAAAAAAANA/JmpmhNV71xw/s1600/DSC_1618.JPG" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let's not go back to the Rose Water, you'll have the details here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I won't detail every product and wait to do some review about them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will only discuss the lens case the make up remover pads .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iYyrMWRuH28/UtvjfyQSZiI/AAAAAAAAANU/5Io9zVZFiZA/s1600/DSC_1626.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iYyrMWRuH28/UtvjfyQSZiI/AAAAAAAAANU/5Io9zVZFiZA/s1600/DSC_1626.JPG" height="640" width="428" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
The contact lens case: I saw them on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF_yz__jtjI" target="_blank">Tati's video for her November favorites </a>and I found them really cute. I really wouldn't think I could find them, but if you're interested they are available ( I hope they're still anyway) at "Di".<br />
I occasionnallywear lens, and I found the case I had before pretty boring. you can find them in three colors: Green, blue and pink. There's nothing really amazing about them but I find them super cute.<br />
<br />
The Make up remover pads: These aren't cotton pads, but re-usable pads. I apply quite a thick layer of make up ( well a thin lever of + a thin layer of that = A thick layer of makeup), I use quite a lot of cotton pads and even if I'm not a proud ecologist, I think that from time to time e need to make a gesture and try to reduce de cotton trash story.<br />
As I usually remove my make up with oil I mainly used them on my eyes to clean them with the Bioderma. As they are washable, I can totally forget to buy usual cotton pads.<br />
These are quite expensive, but if you count the addition of disposable pads and theses ones I think at then it is cheaper.<br />
They are super soft and don't irritate my skin, no redness whatsoever.<br />
You can find them at "Di" or <a href="http://www.lamazuna.com/index.php?id_product=2&controller=product" target="_blank">online</a>, and a <a href="http://www.lamazuna.com/index.php?id_product=3&controller=product" target="_blank">refill</a> version exist as well.<br />
On the website : <a href="http://www.lamazuna.com/">http://www.lamazuna.com</a>, you 'll find a bunch of ecologic products.<br />
<br />
SO that's it for this Monday!<br />
If you want to see a review on a particular item shown on the two pictures just leave a comment below!<br />
<br />
See you on wednesday my loves!<br />

<br />
Here is time to spread the love and share what you deeply like! So this time I will stay in the shower time and after talking about the Johnson's Baby oil to hydrate, here is my favorite scrub and my way to use it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_6cRG-di4U8/Utj3SrW5QTI/AAAAAAAAAMc/Ch2-34edvZ4/s1600/DSC_1641.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_6cRG-di4U8/Utj3SrW5QTI/AAAAAAAAAMc/Ch2-34edvZ4/s1600/DSC_1641.JPG" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the picture you can see it is a The Body Shop scrub and this will always be the case because they're my favorite. Especially this olive and the mango ones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love the scent, the texture and the feeling it leaves on the skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3Z6Ut-9Ilwo/Utj62ypdcoI/AAAAAAAAAMo/hqxwRXzGiOc/s1600/DSC_1645.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3Z6Ut-9Ilwo/Utj62ypdcoI/AAAAAAAAAMo/hqxwRXzGiOc/s1600/DSC_1645.JPG" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I usually use it with a loofa to optimize the effects, but first I apply it with my hands on the upper body part to have the product evenly on the skin. Then I take the loofa and massage gently the skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I repeat the process for the lower part and for my back I use a brush ( witch isn't on the picture as I need to get a new one.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Talking about the loofa, I often use as well those from The Body Shop, it seems that they last longer, but it's just a my impression. I cannot go to TBS without getting one.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today I will talk about hydrating your skin when you're in a rush.</div>
<div>
You're waking up at 5:30 -6:00 at the morning? You don't have the time to apply a body lotion? Then use something in the shower as an oil.</div>
<div>
Oh I'm not talking about the Nivea, no. Here it is almost 4 euros and the bottle is quite tiny. I'm talking about the Johnson's baby oil.</div>
<div>
