What I've been up to...

I've been trying new colours and looks, nothing special or that I could really blog about (yet) because I'm trying to perfect it a bit. I also wanted to do some nailart because  my sister brought me back some fun stuff but my nails have been a mess these days. Maybe by this weekend I'll come up with something though. And since my sister is around I'll try to see if I can get her to sit still for a little while so I can do her makeup  too ;)

J'ai testé de nouvelles couleurs et des looks, rien de spécial ou que je puisse poster (pour le moment) parce que je suis en train de les peaufiner un peu. Je voulais aussi faire un peu de nailart parce que ma soeur m'a ramené un chouète set de nail art, mais mes ongles ont été un peu abimés ces jours-çi. Peut-être que ce week-end je vais trouver quelque chose de bien à faire. Et puisque ma sœur est ici je vais essayer de voir si je peux la faire asseoir pendant un petit moment pour que je puisse faire son maquillage, si elle me laisse faire bien sur ;)


Here are the colours I've been playing with, I will definitely do a full review because they deserve their own post.

Voici les couleurs avec lesquelles j'ai "joué", je vais certainement faire un review complet, car ils méritent leur propre post.


Here is the nail art set that my sister got me. She's such a sweety pie! =)

Voici l'ensemble de nail art que ma sœur m'a ramené! =)

I haven't done a look with the green palettes yet but it's definitely in the works because I think it's the kind of look that anyone would be interested in for spring or the beginning of summer. These don't look like it, but they are actually quite pigmented and with a good base or primer, a little goes a long way. I'm definitely gonna do a cat eye look with this, I think it would be perfect for this.


Je n'ai pas encore fait un look avec les palettes vertes mais c'est certainement dans mes projets parce que je pense que c'est le genre de look qui peut être intéressant pour le printemps ou au début de l'été. Ceux-çi n'en ont pas l'air, mais ils sont en fait très pigmentés et avec une bonne base ou primer, un petit peu peut faire beaucoup. Je suis vais  certainement faire un look "cat eye" avec, je pense que ça s'y prète parfaitement.








I've also been cooking a bit more than usual but for work, I try to cook my own lunch for work and I also cook for my colleagues sometimes when we decide to eat together on the terrace. The weather is getting better and better and we're soon gonna have a lawn here so I can't wait to see what it'll look like ^^

J'ai aussi cuisiné un peu plus que d'habitude, mais pour le travail, j'essaie de préparer mon propre lunch pour le travail et je cuisiner aussi pour mes collègues parfois, lorsque nous décidons de manger ensemble sur la terrasse. Le temps est de mieux en mieux et nous allons bientôt avoir une pelouse ici, donc j'ai hâte de voir ce que ça va donner ^ ^





I'll be posting the recipe for this soon ;)
Je vais poster la recette bientôt ;)
I've also been thinking a lot about doing video tutorials and also reviews but I'm still not 100% sure so I'll wait until I get there. Whenever that happens you'll be the first to know.
J'ai beaucoup pensé à faire des tutoriels vidéo et aussi des reviews, mais je ne suis toujours pas sûre à 100% donc je vais attendre jusqu'à ce que j'arrive au point où je suis convaincue de le faire. Dès que ça arrivera, vous serez les premiers à savoir.



Until next time, be good and take care, Bye!
En attendant, prenez soin de vous, Bye!

A little update!

Hi all!

As promised I am "working on"(which means I'm trying to make it look good and not like I just got punched in the eye, which is all I've accomplished this far =P). The two makeup looks are: one with pink and purple eyeshadow and one inspired by Sephora's upcoming Jasmine collection.
They will be up very soon. I also wanted to announce that both this blog and my Facebook Page will be in English AND French from now on.
Thanks for stopping by!

Have a nice day.

A hedgehog made out of an old book!
I didn't make this by the way...
I just clicked a picture of it 'cuz I found it cute =)
Un vieux livre transformé en hérisson
Je ne l'ai pas fait..
J'ai juste pris la photo car je l'ai trouvé mignon =)

Salut à tous!



Comme promis je "travaille" sur mes prochains looks (ce qui veut dire que je suis en train de faire en sorte que ça paraisse bien et non pas comme si je venais de me prendre un coup de poing dans l'œil, ce qui correspond à peu près à ce que j'ai réussi à faire jusqu'à maintenant = P) Les deux looks que j'ai promis sont: un avec fard à paupières rose et violet et un inspiré par la collection à venir Jasmine de Sephora.


Ils seront là très bientôt. Je voulais aussi vous annoncer que ce blog ainsi que ma page Facebook seront désormais en anglais ET en français.
Merci pour votre visite!

Bonne journée.

Looks and looks and more looks (yes, I have a hard time comming up with titles ^^)

Hi again! 
I hope you are all keeping well and that you started off your week on an optimistic note, it always helps.
So today I'm gonna post a few makeup looks that I did during my absence and that I didn't post, I have a lot of catching up to do so I'm working on it.

I haven't been doing anything extraordinarily bold or out of the ordinary, just trying to switch it up a bit and keep it interesting.
I hope you'll like it.







Products used:
The Body Shop Tea Tree Pore Minimiser
Mac Mineralize Charged water moisture gel
The body shop concealer pencil in shade 06 
the Palette I got from my international Swap with Jeanette (clic clic to see what I got)
my Kiko Gel liner in Black
and Kiko Cosmetics waterproof eyeliner in Blue (it stayed there until I removed it with the Sephora Waterproof eye makeup remover)!!!
And I'm wearing Maybelline Volum' Express Falsies in Black (whatever, I prefer They're Real)






Products used:
As usual these days:
On my face:The Body Shop Tea Tree Pore Minimiser
Mac Mineralize Charged water moisture gel
The body shop concealer pencil in shade 06
On my eyes I used ELF shadow Primer
on the crease I have something that is not a shadow but I love this colour for this, it's the Urban Decay Baked Bronzer in shade Toasted (this was given to me by Aurélie my photographer friend and I've been in love with it ever since).
on my inner lid I have Mac Bare Study paint pot thinly applied
and over it I put some pigments from the mac Aloha crushed Metallic Pigments in Lantern Light
In the corner I just left the Paint pot colour only for that gradient effect

in the outer corner I applied Maybelline colour tattoo in purple and added some purple shadow from the Frontcover palette in Ocean, then I lined the outer corner of my eyes with a purple Shadow pencil that I got as a gift from an Ebay seller that I regularly buy from, I'll write a post and post swatches of the pencils they're quite vibrant and longlasting too. They look like this: 
My mascara is Clinique volumising mascara in black, I love the fact that it doesn't dry up and get your lashes stiff. I even curled them wearing this.



In this picture I'm just wearing some Sephora Mattifying powder in shade D35,
A dark brown Miss Helen Brow pencil
Sephora Dark Blue liquid Eyeliner (I put some on my lashes too, that's what happens when I curl them before applying eyeliner)
And Sephora chubby stick Watterproof eyeliner in Turquoise on my bottom lashline

 So that's it for now, I will post about these eyeliners in detail with swatches and show you what I bought when I got these, and where too... 




Until next time, See you, Bye!
