Xmas and the holidays are just around the corner :D I hope you're already in a festive mood. If not, just take a look at all the Body Shop's gift sets and I'm sure you'll feel the magic of the holidays :D

I received some of their sets and wanted to show you a selection of the adorable gifts you can find at The Body Shop. Honestly, there are so many good gift ideas!

Here I am with swatches of Essie fall collection inspired by NYC! That's probably one of my favorite essie collections so far. I absolutely love the shades, especially "Fall For NYC" and "Say It Ain't Soho". They're so unique but flattering! Definitely worth it!

Moreover the formua of these is beautiful, they're easy to apply and very pigmented.

 

 

Hi everyone,

 

It's slowly getting colder and colder and we can feel Christmas approaching! Have you already started your holiday shopping? :D

 

 

 

 

 

Hi everyone :D

 

I hope you all had a beautiful week and that you are enjoying your weekend!

 

Today I have a very long article with many new products from Sephora that was recently released. So let's start directly!

 

 

 

 

A few weeks ago I wrote an article about propolis. As you can imagine this is an ingredient I really like in cosmetics.

In summary (if you want to know more about it, you can read my article here), in terms of skincare, propolis possesses interesting antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing properties. It is therefore particularly interesting for acne-prone skin, skin that needs to be soothed as well as sensitive skin.

 

Intensity at first sight is the new slogan of Nars for their new single and duo eyeshadows! :D

 

Nars has launched this fall a new line of single and duo eyeshadows featuring Nars' Pigment Powder Suspension technology that delivers incredible payoff, effortless blendability, and rich, long-wearing vibrant color.

This new formula ranges in four finishes from buttery matte and lustrous satin, to electric pops of color and glittering metallics.

 

Cica products have been so popular since 1-2 years that almost every brand has come with their own line of cica products.

It's Skin had already released last year some products in their Tiger Cica line (a gel cream, a balm, a cushion) and this year they've extended the line with a calming serum and a foam cleanser. I wanted to try this line from It's Skin and when I saw they had a new serum, I didn't hesitate and got it. The foam cleanser came along in my shopping cart as I also like foam cleansers equipped with a pump.

Cica is the short name of Centella Asiatica (C-ica). Centella Asiatica is a fantastic plant for sensitive and acne-prone skin as it's soothing and wound-healing. I wrote a detailed article about it HERE if you want to know more about it.

 

 

 

OPI launched earlier this year 12 new Retro Hues inspired by Paramount Pictures’ Iconic Film – Grease to  commemorate this iconic film’s 40th anniversary.

OPI is capturing the movie’s fun and energetic spirit with a collection of retro, summery hues that will also look gorgeous in fall :)

Available in classic Nail Lacquer, Infinite Shine, and GelColor formulas.

 

 

 

Discovering and trying new nail polish brand has been something I've really enjoyed for years, but for some reasons during the last years I've been sticking to my favorite brands, i.e. OPI, Essie, Dior, Cadillacquer and A England.

This year Marionnaud has come up with new nail polishes. The formulation, packaging and choice of color is brand new. And I must say I was very happy to discover and try it!
