Upcoming post: More Kiko Love!!!

Hi! How's everyone doing? Fine I hope!
So this will be a continuation of my previous post about Kiko Cosmetics.

These are the products that I added to my ever growing collection, I bought them a while back, but I'm shopping the stash these days so I thought I'd review them and share the love.

And there's more to come too!!!

So see you all soon for that ;)

Until then Be good and take care!

May Favourites (new series)!

Hi!

I hope all of you are well. So I've decided to post favourites on the last day of the month so you can have some reviews of products or random things that I liked (or didn't like) and also for myself, to keep track of what I've been using for comparison purposes.

Obviously this month I'mposting it in june but next month I'll be good, promise! =D

First of all, this has been an all time favorite, not only for this month:

MAC Fix+ : it feels really nice when I spray this for a little hydration durting the day. It also has a slight dewy finish that I quite like, it's supposed to make your makeup last longer but I don't think that it's really good at doing that.

I like it because it doesn't contain any alcohol and when you spray it it dries rather fast, it also doesn't leave any "watermarks" like other products that I've used in the past.

I also use this when I only apply some powder and no foundation: I apply the powder, spray this then I apply another layer of powder. This creates an nice matte look and it's not too cakey, perfect for weekends when you still want that extra coverage.

This reminds me a lot of the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. The texture is the same but I feel like this feels a bit more quenching though. I've been getting some serious dry patches and flakes on my face because I stopped exfoliating as often as I did before (it's not too good for your skin to overexfoliate O_o).

I've been using it for three weeks now day and night (I use my Estee Lauder serum just before applying it at night) and it is the best moisturizer I've used so far.

during theday it's not too heavy and keeps my skin hydrated all day, also it doesn't have any kind of weird reaction when I spritz my face with the fix plus during the day. They work good together.

I've been using this everyday, I can't really explain this apart from "it does what it says". My hand just reaches for it everyday so I guess that qualifies it as a favorite =)

This has nothing to do with makeup but I've been addicted to Lolcats!!! So funny! =D

And my last favorite is Cat-eye LOTD's.

I just love it and it makes my big eyes look even bigger, if someone hd told me that I would want even bigger eyes 15 years ago I would've laughed at them ^^

See you! Bye!

Look of the day and Jewellery of the day

Hi!

This is my look of the day and Jewellery of the day.

I was going for a fresh, fuss free look, so I'm not wearing too much jewelery no too much makeup (not that I usually do but I really kept it to a minimum) and I also forgot to take a pic of my earrings. Will update the post in a few hours with that.

Enjoy!

Today, I was wearing:

My  Six Rose Gold watch that I've been wearing everyday since I got it. I don't think the store retails online though. But you can find the same kind of watch at Asos.

This ring has been my favorite for about 6 years or so, I wear it most of the time. I really like it because it's actually two rings, one with the flower and the other one with the butterfly. It wasn't expensive and it's gold plated but I really love it. Maybe because it's the first peice of jewelry I got with my first salary after I came to France. It has great sentimental value =)

This ring I always wear on my right thumb and I never take it off, I remember it changing colour once when I was relaxing someone's hair back in French Guyana (I was a Hair dresser =) ) and my mom "saved" it with some crushed pepper leaves. It's silver and it doesn't have any particular significance, it's just part of me now I guess. I elmost feel kinda naked if I don't wear it so I just keep it there.

This is a recent purchase as I've been looking for ages for a nice silver ring to wear on my right hand. I do have the previous one but it's on my thumb whereas this one is on my middle finger. I wanted it to be thin and delicate but not too frgile because I like to keep this kind of stuff for a veeeeery long time =) I'm not sure what the stone is but I'll find out if anyone wants to know.

This si my dearly beloved Shambala bracelet. I don't really wear it that much because of the strings that hang. It can be a bit annoying sometimes cuz I'm always shaking my hands, I'm a fidgety one.

And this is an ankle bracelet I bought in the beginning of spring and never wore because the weather was so ugly I couldn't wear anything besides tall boots.

I also have this necklace that I also wear almost everyday, I got it as a gift.

It has an opal stone, a Fatma hand and a little "Om" medalion. I really like it becasue the chain is really thin an dainty. =)

so that's it for now. If I switch things up a bit I'll post about it. I still have some things that I've never worn because I was waiting for the weather to be really nice. But now that it is I guess I will =)

P.S.: Here are some very awkward and shaky pics of the earrings but you can see them better in this post. 

Everyone in the park where I usually have lunch must think I'm crazy cuz I was snapping pics of my ears in plain sight O_o. Well, u gotta do what u gotta do right? ;)

Have a wonderful day!

See you! Bye!

Lazy Post!

Hi!

I hope this week is going well for everyone, mine is fine so far. I have painting class tonight and I'm gonna start a canvas (my first! >_<*) 

This post is about being lazy.

Yes, I'm lazy sometimes and I admit it, but this one I think all makeup addicts will agree with.

I don't like washing makeup brushes, it takes time and then u have to wait for the darn things to dry...

They should invent a machine that washes makeup brushes and dries them, or a product that does that, all without damaging the bristles.

I'm a brush  addict so I have quite a collection and I wash them often so I feel like a robot now doing the same thing over and over.

Anyway, does anyone know of a product that strips the brushes from all dirt without damaging or drying out the bristles? Please, I need your help. I currently use baby shampoo and extra virgin olive oil (Michelle Phan's technique).

See you soon! Bye!

Coming up soon!

Hi all!!!

I hope u are as energised as I am and that you could enjoy this three day weekend, for those who didn't, I hope u'll have the chance to do so soon. God knows I needed it. It only rained once this weekend and I was at home so yay!^^

So this is just a post about my upcoming posts, I started using some new products after my breakout subsided a bit. Last friday I was at MAC and a very nice SA showed me this product:

MAC Mineralise Charged Water Moisture Gel

This product is amazing, and I must say that my skin is really loving it so I'll stick to it for now and do a full review when I will be sure of what I think of it.

Until then, here's a link to a review by Musingsofamuse that I read before buying it: Link.

And this is my LOTD from yesterday, nothing unusual besides my bright orange shirt. =)

The last few pictures with the green shirt are from the day after my breakout started =(

I also have to post about some other MAC goodies that I got but I'm not telling. It's not much though, because I've decided that I need to start shopping the stash if I don't want to become a makeup hoarder. <__<' (I actually think I'm one already)

Anyways, see you soon!!!

Bye!
