Waiting for...

Illamasqua New collection for Spring and Summer

Nars Spring collection : the Valparaiso Pure Matte lipstick will be mine!

MAC Tres Cheek : those L.E blushes with a satin finish are going to be a downfall for some! 

Shop MAC Cook Mac : seeing the visuals, I'll say I'll probably own a good chunk of it before it's off the shelves!

What else is will be worth emptying the bank accounts?

Let's start...

...with beauty!

I'm quite addicted to lipsticks, I'm having an out-of-control collection of brushes, and let's not even talk eyeshadows since I've discovered M.A.C Cosmetics...

I'm a relatively low-maintenance girl though, I'm without makeup most of the time.
My hair has its own will and I quite respect it though I experimented with colors those last few years, but kept them short in length since it's the best look.  I'm not back to my not-so-great dirty dark blonde, so I'm having highlights put in regularly to keep it nice.

I wear glasses, which means i can pull off a look with both packed eyes and bold lips with almost no problem :)

A few of my favorite brands are :
- M.A.C Cosmetics,
- NARS Cosmetics,
- Illamasqua (oooh their lipsticks...)
- Chanel and Dior have a few amazing lipsticks too :)
- Givenchy,
-...

Regarding brushes, Royal & Langnickel and Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman (from Pixiwoo) are my most loved. And MAC 239 of course.

That's quite a beginning already!

Who Am I?

I'm a mid-20s girl from France. I write in english because it's the language I'm most confortable with, weirdly. I started to learn when I was 4 and by 9 i was quite fluent, and by 15 I was bi-lingual. After living a few months in Canada in 2008, I never really got back my total ease with French.

I love cooking & eating, books & music, TV series & watching sports, beauty & sleep.
I've traveled quite a lot already and loved it.
My land of adoption is definitely Canada, though i love Greece and the Islands (Rhodos, Creta, Santorini), Italy and its cuisine, Germany and its tidiness, Switzerland and its diversity, Egypt and its mysteries, Morocco and its traditions...

Since there's going to bit a fair bit of beauty posts I think, I may as well explained a detail : I got into beauty and makeup quite late, only around a year and a half ago.
While I was putting on makeup when in high-school, I was happy with what I had, never interested in the new collections or and whatnot.

Let's see how it all turns out, shall we?
