Day and night smell amazing

Hey my loves!

Do you have favorite perfume?
I have a bunch of them. Usually I love strong scent that last all day or quite all day.

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.
That's what I call a statement perfume, the scent is really particular, quite cold and strong.
Chunky Bottle, heavy, not easy to carry over in the handbag, and I didn't find a way to transfer it into Travallo.

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.
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.
I tried and adopted it.

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.

It's all mental I know but it helps me to have a good night sleep so...

Did you every tried celebrities perfume?

Hey my loves!

Oily skin rimes often oily eyelids, ok it doesn't really rimes but hey, I do what I can ...
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.

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.
Not that it is not the case with the UD ones, but at the end of a long day they crease a bit.

The down sides ( yes there are some...nobody's perfect...):

• The packaging : as all the Nars products it gets messy even though you take good care of it.
• The price: 25,00€ for 8gr
• Availability in Belgium : NONE, you have to go to Sephora ( Shops or website in France), NarsCosmetics.fr, Asos.com

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.

No Fashion, just a ray of rosy/peachy light

Hey beauty and life lovers!

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

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

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

Here comes the poo...

Hey my loves!

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.

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.
They are "locked" in a box" ( too small now).

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!

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.

I'm a bit sad because I wanted to love the color so bad...
I don't know if one of you got this problem with this nail polish, or if you had it with another one.

Just let me know in the comments!

Have a wonderful day m loves!

Sunday love #7: The evening flawless

Hello Beauty and life lovers!

Today I would like to present you my combo for a flawless skin for a girls night our evening.

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.

Because I noticed that without the fie plus it has the tendency to slip where I'm a bit oily.

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.
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 !

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.

Than I come back with some fix plus ( a bit more) to be sure everything set into place.
I don't powder when I go out to dance, because I don't want to have the weird powdery look on pictures.
So I use and use more the fix plus.

So that's my complete combo for a flawless skin in the disco...

What's yours??

NO VALENTINE POST : What's in my daily bag: February 2014 Edition feat MK Bedford Satchel

Hey Beauty and life lovers!

Here is the first "what's in my daily bag".
Not long ago, I made a crazy buy... I say crazy because I wouldn't even thought I could.
But then came the sales.

I discussed that with "The Hub" who quite accepted. And so that's how the MK babe arrived at home.
It is a Bedford Satchel Medium.
You can carry it with the two handles as a regular bag or with the strap on the shoulder or across the body.

It is a really thick leather and very structured.
You can have quite a lot of things in it.

Here is a sneak peek :

I really love the golden details, I usually am a silver person, but here the details aren't so bling bling.
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.

So in this bag, I can easily put:

• My make up bag
• My brushes bag
• My pencil bag
• My tiny agenda
• My wallet 
• My gummy change purse
• My phone
• My perfume
• My chewing gum
• My minty candy ( yeah I have a bad breath obsession)
• My deodorant
• My lip balms ( yes I have 2)
• My Car key
• My face wipes ( you never know)

Inside, you have a unique large pocket, on a side two small pockets to put your phone or Deodorant ...

and on the other side a zip pocket and two other small pockets.

It is really handy and I'm quite happy with that bag which is gonna last me for ages!

So this what was in my bag.
Not much and pretty boring.

Have a wonderful day!

Fashion Wednesday #4: Pinky me

Hey Beauty and life lovers!

As I finally found a store that sell trendy, fitting clothes for my body shape, I wanted to share a poorly done OOTD.

This is a really large pink top, with cute little lace details on the side of the arms.
A skinny jeans ( which isn't skinny any more cause I lost a few extra pounds since I bought it.).

I'm Sorry for the quality of the picture, but they're sone with my phone and it is an old phone.

See you later !
