Diorshow iconic overcurl mascara review

Hi ladies,

Sorry I haven't wrote for a while, was so busy, and lazy, but no more.
 Today I will make a review to a great mascara, one of my favorites, by Christian Dior.



I purchased it from Sephora, a few days ago, and I really wanted to test it out before writing a review. Because many posh-like cosmetics promise a lot for a whole bunch of money but they are worthless, so we end up with a hole in out pockets and a broken heart : - )

What drawn me to it wasn't the Christian Dior famous background but the original, classy look of the recipient. A silvery tube with a great shaped brush. When the curiosity strikes as usual, I need to have it.
My lashes are so short, straight and boring, that i needed a miracle formula to make me look good. This mascara curls amazingly well with no clumping and, a big bonus for us ladies: lasts all day long. Also, the mascara doesn't run or smudge thanks to the brush you see in the image above and gives great volume.
When applied it gives the impression of thick, almost-like, fake lashes. You don't even need an eyelash curler anymore.  

It costs about 29$. So, a great price for C.Dior
So this product receives 5 stars out of 5 and my solemn promise that I ll purchase it in the future.

Thanks for reading,

Love, 
Sophie

Makeup session with Guerlain, new products review

Hello ladies,

Let me tell you what happened. I was walking around in my favorite shop, Sephora, sniffing some new fragrances that i will review later, and there was this awesome make up session organized by Guerlain, they picked me to model their new products so this is the result :

The look created is called "The Sophie glam rock look" and there were used the following products in this order:

-Precious light- rejuvenating illuminator
You apply this on the eye area patting gently with the ring finger. It s a great eye primer, great moisturiser, concealer (covers all the imperfections and fine lines), and also illuminator thanks to the tiny gold particles  which reflect light. Also in his composition has myrrh oil, known for its regenerating properties, and lifting the skin.
-Makeup Tenue de Perfection (13)

 Amazing long lasting makeup with spf. Its creamy texture and discreet scent melts into your pores in literally 3 seconds. It lasts many many hours, has a great coverage, and makes the complexion look flawless. It has an solar protection factor of 20. A big bonus.

-Ecrin 2 couleurs - 2 colors eye makeup (06)
The makup artist was inspired by my glam/rock clothes, and used these two beautifully pigmented eye shadows to make a gloomy but glamorous smokey look.  They last long, and have precious shiny particles incorporated. Definitely to wear in a pub, in a club at evenings, even at a nice restaurant. You can combine the pink and the black creating retro, amazing looks. These colors definitely suit me because i have a LOT of similar products with these 2 tones. I adore smoky looks, don't you? They look so dramatic, Gothic and classy.

-Teracotta bronzer (02)
 It's a nice, compact bronzer that accentuates the natural glow of the bronze. I think me being a bit tanned helped a lot. I do not think that this bronzing powder would go on fair skin, because it would make a high contrast and would seem fake, plastic and cheap.

-Madame rougit -Blush
This however it is a great blush. It has 3 different shades, a beautiful warm tone of peach, a cold bright pink and a neutral pastel pink. The small dots are pearly butter-white which add the extra glow on the cheek bones. If you combine them with a kabuki brush all the colors would give you a great, balanced result. I am inlove with this product.

- Clis D'Enfer Mascara
 I was not very impressed by this mascara. My lashes were just colored, that was it. Not curvy, not elongated, not more voluminous.  Nothing. My personal opinion is that the mascara is not good for me and for its price does not offer that much.

-Gloss D 'Enfer number 468 (candy strip)

Another thing that  I adored was this little pink/coral gloss. Smooth & silky, not very sticky, lasts so long for a gloss. 3 hours if you eat or kiss, 5 hours if you are not. 

I was so lucky to test the new Guerlain products. I got the gloss, the makeup foundation and the blush. I would also get 2 colour eye makeup (on my next wage : - ) 


Sorry about this last shot, the camera broke down exactly when they wanted to capture the result, hence the weird grins that we had on our faces.
Thanks for reading,  and you are welcomed to share your makeup experiences with me, or just say a "hi".
 here is me falling asleep with that make up on, this is how much i loved it
 by the way ! NEVER sleep with your make up on , girls!!


Love, 
Sophie

Jimmy Choo Eau de Parfum review

Hello ladies,



I discovered this fragrance while visiting the Duty Free shop from Greece. At the time I was kind of broke returning from holiday so I said "ok...some other time". And then I completely forgot about it.Until now. I was visiting Sephora and saw it. And got it. yey !
The bottle is a small piece of art, so precious and lovely. It is inspired by the Murano glass, definitely an avant-garde stile to it.

What can I tell you about the fragrance? Well I prefer the eau de parfum because it s quite different then the eau de toilette. It s not only the intensity that makes the difference but the components as well.
When you will try this versatile scent, you will feel this amazing sweet/spicy/fruity sensation. I could feel immediately the pear, mixed with just a hint of mandarin.
When its settling down, you can feel the orchid, patchouli and the caramel/chocolate scent. It is spicy/gourmet.  What i do love about this perfume is that it gives you a warm pleasant feeling while wearing it. Sillage is high and longevity is quite good. I wore it all day today outdoors, i took a shower and its still smelling on me. Wow.
Its a classy, sexy, urban perfume that you could wear it in the rainy/cold seasons, maybe on the theater, maybe on a chic/posh coffee shop...
I am giving it the max rating. 5 out of 5, Jimmy Choo.

Hugs and kisses from

Sophie

Clinique high impact waterproof mascara review

Hello ladies,

I want to talk to you about one of my favorite waterproof mascaras, Clinique. What I wanted was a mascara that won't make me look like Alice Cooper (no offence, I love Alice and his amazing songs, but his look is not for me : )
So, the weather is really hot in Greece, what to do? I wanted to look nice so I took a shot with Clinique.





I was kind of familiarized with their products, and I knew they make high quality stuff so I went to Sephora and bought it.
Its amazing. It s really waterproof, but does not make you struggle while you try to remove it at home -  you know that situation when you re pulling out the mascara and also the lashes. If you dislike bald eyes like I do, and you are picky about your mascaras, try Clinique. It has an awesome texture and it smells nice (I m obsessed how my beauty products smell. I don't like very pronounced smells because that's a signal there are too many chemicals in my products, but also I like a subtle, nice scent).
It costs about 16$.


I love the brush, it extends your lashes, and does not make them look spider-like.
You can find it in 2 colors - black and brown black and I got them both.
During the day I like to wear the brown black because I look more natural, and if I have to go out at night I am wearing the black mascara.
Bottom line, it lasts all day, naturally curls your lashes (even if you have tiny ones like me), a nice purchase.

I give it 5 starts out of 5.

See you soon,

Sophie

New ! Merci chocolate sweet review

Hi ladies,

Let's face it. We all love sweets. We feel a bit guilty after we ate them, and of course we worry about our weight, or our diet, but come on ! We only have a life, we deserve a well earned treat after a hard day, don't we?
I adore chocolates and coffee. If they are mixed all together, that's even better. Its a love/addiction relationship with me and those two. "Merci" chocolates were my friends since childhood. And later on, out of nostalgia (and chocolate addiction :) I kept the tradition with these amazing small chocolate bars .


I was buying them especially for the coffee ones. Don't get me wrong, all of them are amazing (milk, hazelnuts, marzipan,dark chocolate praline etc) but I  have a weakness for the chocolate/cafe-latte combination. My taste buds find it irresistible.
So, me and my boyfriend were doing our groceries in the supermarket and there it was ! The supreme chocolate. 
I was sure this chocolate will make my day. And it did.

Its the same high quality taste of fresh milk mixed with roasted coffee beans combined with a thick layer of fine chocolate. I also sensed a hint of cocoa butter and vanilla. Yummy! I suggest you'll try it.


 It costs less then 3 $ and I can assure you won't regret you bought it. Its an expensive taste, with a cheap price. What can you want more?
If however you are not a fan of chocolate/coffee combination, i ll suggest other flavors like milk, hazelnut almond, dark chocolate mousse or praline-creme.
 I rate this 5 out of 5.

So, if you want to give yourself a gift or even to someone you love, a friend, a lover, a kid, "Merci" is great for that.
Did you know that the word "merci" in French means "thank you"?

Well, thank you for reading this, my friends, 

 Sweet kisses from

Sophie

Sephora nail polish 5 days lasting- Color hit collection review

Hi guys,

As I told you a few days ago, i got from Sephora a new nail polish. I did not had the time to make a proper review so I am doing it now.

So the nail polish looks like this number 70 Flash me, a pearly green/yellow neon color, and i payed for it 5$.


I can say that the color s amazing and perfect for the summer time, but it does not last 5 days. Not even 3. If you are a posh lady and dont't do anything around the house, it might last for 4 days...maybe. But if you are doing the dishes and other chores around the house, it does not last.
So... its pretty disappointing, but at least for a day, maybe two the most you can wear it.
A trick is to wear it with neutral top coat over it so it would last a little longer.

My rate is just a star out of 5. Sorry, Sephora.

Anyways, that s it for today, hugs and kisses as always,

Sophie

Calvin Klein "Down Town" new perfume for women

Hello ladies,

I discovered this fragrance while I was checking out new products in Sephora.  I got a sample and I want to share my conclusions about this perfume with you.



First of all the pluses:

The look:
-I love the bottle,  the minimal classy look of it. The light pink color of the perfume and also the cap.

The smell:
 -It smells like something light and fruity and a bit sweet at first. Its purpose is to aim a certain type of young woman. The free spirited one. Its a day perfume, and i can sense in it tones of green pear in it, white flowers, and an aquatic fresh scent.
After a while, the smell changes into a nice warm scent, a bit creamy too, a little peppery (it also has in its composition pink pepper), a little woody (thanks to the vetiver) and musky.
 Its modern, urban chic.

Where to wear?
During the day, at work, at the cinema, at the tea house/coffee shop.

The minuses:

Wearing it its making me feel comfortable, but not special. Its a common scent from my point of view.
I also am not a big fan of floral fresh perfumes, I am aiming for more complex fragrances. Indeed this one it smells better then the old fashioned florals but still does not satisfies me. Too plain, too light. 
On my skin, even if its an Eau de Parfume, its longevity is poor.

It costs around 80 $.

My rating is poor but not because I don t like the scent, it is because for what it offers the price is way too high. I would never purchase it, sorry Calvin Klein, "Euphoria" was better!
I am giving this perfume a disappointing 1 star out of 5.

Hugs,

Sophie

Yves Rocher Raspberry review : Organic lotion and fizzy bath cube

Hello ladies,

I had a walk in the mall and I couldn't resist the Yves Rocher shop. So, I entered and I got 2 things:

- A lovely raspberry silky lotion (400 ml / 13.5 fl.oz)


 -And a tiny bath cube with the same lovely scent of raspberry (0.7 oz)



The lotion is divine and I do love that its made out of organic raspberries. I think this is why I adore Yves Rocher so much and using their products so often: they are natural, cheap and they smell yummy. I feel heavenly when i apply it. Its light texture makes my skin soft as satin and of course I love the fact that it is non oily and i can get dressed immediatly after i apply it.
This lotion smells incredibly gourmet. If you close your eyes you feel like you are in a garden full of raspberries, or maybe, if you have more imagination you can think you are a tiny person living in a in a raspberry yoghurt.
My first impulse was to eat all the content of the bottle but I had to stop myself : - )
It costs 12 $  (10 euros) but i got it cheaper (8 $) with my Y.Rocher fidelity card.

The effervescent cube is also great, makes the water smell so lovely, relaxes you, and also makes the scent remain on your skin after you get out of the bath tub.
And it only costs 2 $ ( just 1.5 Euros).
I give both products my highest score 5 starts!

Hopefully this review helped you. See you soon !
Love,

Sophie

Shopping in Sephora : Max Factor lip stain, Sephora nail polishes, Bvlgari and Elie Saab perfumes review

Hi guys,

Yesterday I went with my boyfriend in Sephora to get a new perfume for him, and I got a little something for myself too. Also i got to try some free samples that are really adorable.

So lets make some reviews, shall we? :- )

1. The first thing i got was a lip stain from Max Factor 

I got the color 03 - pink princess.
 
I love it. It is not that pink actually, its more of a plumy color.
It lasts long, you can drink and eat and kiss a lot and does not wear off ( its a big plus because my boyfriend hates sticky/ glittery lip glosses but I guess almost all guys do, is n t it ? ).
This lip stain is pretty much like a pencil, you just apply on lips and it dries off very fast because it is water based. It gives you an awesome pigmented color and the shape of the pen helps you to make the perfect contour for your lips. Also it does not smell in any way so that s a big bonus.
The only disadvantage it has its that it may leave your lips a bit dry, so keep those lips hydrated with lip balm/lip butter (try the ones from The body shop- they are amazing) while you are at home. Try a vitamin E based lip balm, because vitamin E rejuvenates the lips. But even with this minus i will still rate it with 5 stars.
Am really in love with Max Factor products and I guess this time too they outdone themselves.
 It costs 10 Euros, 9.5 $.

I give it the highest rating - 5 stars. 


2. The second thing i got was the Sephora nail polish - from the color hit collection

They say it lasts 5 days on. I am not sure they last that much because i just tried it on one nail, but I will write some more info after i will try it on this weekend.
 I wanted to get a crazy summer color that i did not had in my collection and i found this - number 70 Flash me:



Its a  pearly yellow/green sort of neon color.  I will do a tutorial of manicure with this color soon.
I must admit that I was not a fan of neon's but now since i got my tan on, it looks amazing.
It costs about 4.5 Euros, about 5$.

I can't rate this because I don't have a clue if wit will last 5 days, but will do, soon. I can only say that its really pretty and i absolutely adore this color. I am having already in mind a contrast based manicure with this color in the center of attention combined with a deep black or maybe some dark purple.

3.I also got a second nail polish from Sephora Collection Nail Laquer - number 66 -sunset on the beach




 I tried this on and it looks fantastic. Its looking even better then the picture. Its a glittery red/magenta color.  It's the second day i m wearing this and still looks great.
It was on discount and i got it with only 1 Euro, but usually these mini nail polishes are 4 Euros.

4. Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline Eau de parfum


I adore this perfume. Its citrusy, green and fruity, woody also. It has in its composition a exotic Asian pear called nashi. It actually looks line an apple and smells something between apple and pear. It s better then the Eau de toilette. I think this version s way better.

 

 I definitely see this perfume as a classy one. I would wear it on a date, on a night out , during the day or the night. Its something between floral, gourmet, aquatic and fruity scent. It lasts up to 7 hours.
It also has some hints of musk that makes it smell so expensive!
It costs about 45 Euros / 48 $ the purse size one.

I am giving it 5 stars out of 5!

5. Elie Saab -Le parfum -Eau de parfum



My mother has this perfume and it smells incredibly nice (and I must say this is not the typical perfume for mums, so yes mine is cool! ) I got a free sample from Sephora and i am thinking about purchasing a big bottle of this sophisticated aroma that I fell in love with hopelessly.
The reviews say its a floral scent but i don t agree. Its more a woody/sweet/floral scent.
I must say I HATE floral scents without any fruits in the composition but this one has honey in it that gives it a warm, oriental hint.
Its also sweet but in the good way, not heavy-sweet that makes you intoxicated and sick. This perfume is haute couture but in a subtle way. Its elegant and amazing and I think every woman should have it.
It lasts up to 10 hours on my skin and even if its more of a evening/cocktail/theater/night out/ perfume i love to wear it all the time, even in my sleep. Also being an oriental scent I would recommend you to wear it in the colder seasons. But if you are like me and you can t help yourself, don't over do it.
Also, I love the design of the bottle. It makes you happy and proud to be a lady.
I will give it 5 stars plus!
Definitely a must have!

I also got a few samples from Vichy cream but I haven't tried it yet so I can' t express my oppinion, but If you did tried this cream or these products, you can leave a comment below!

Kisses and hugs from me

New : Yves Rocher Jardins du monde - Macadamia shower cream review

Hi guys,

I must admit that I am a fan of Yves Rocher products. I love almost all of them and I just bought this lovely shower creme that needs to have its on review.


It's the newest shower creme from Jardins du monde collection. It smells incredibly yummy. Something between macadamia nuts and vanilla / rum ice cream. It has a lovely creamy texture that becomes a soft mousse and hydrates the skin. Washing with this amazing product is a treat. You feel like you are a molecule in a huge bowl of milk, mixed with vanilla, a hint of caramel and a subtle flowery scent all combined together.
 If you are a fan of gourmet smells just like I am, then you don't have to miss this great shower product. I think its warm flavor goes better with the rainy/wintery seasons.

Oh, and its cheap too : just 3 euros- 3.5 $.
I shall give it 5 starts out of 5 and I will definitely purchase it again.

Hugs from me.

Love,

Sophie

Impresionism inspired nail art tutorial

Hi guys,

I ve decided to make a new tutorial. Today I 'll show you how to make your nails look like a beautiful painting. What inspired me was the impressionist movement and paintings like these:



I love nail art but I don't have time to do it so often.So, here it is, I really hope you will enjoy it and also try it. Its not very hard to do, you just need a bit of patience.

For this tutorial I used :

- a thin nail art brush

-some matte nail polishes (make sure that they are not glittery or neon like) : so you will need 3 shades of pink (the base one, and other 2 pinks -one darker and one lighter - make sure they are not very similar), light green, khaki, orange, white, purple.
-a piece of plastic - it could be anything- it will be used as a  painters pallet
-some paper tissues
-acetone
-a top coat to finish the touch


So lets start :  )

1. Apply the top coat, then the first layer of pink. Let it dry.






2.Then take your plastic and put one drop of every color you got on it. Do not mix them together

3.Dip your nail art brush into the darkest color you have - the dark purple and start making elongated dots on your nail like this (they don t have to look perfect). Mine look like small stars but its ok, keep going



(sorry guys about the quality of the photos, i can t seem to find my camera)

4. Put some acetone on your paper tissue and gently wipe the nail art brush

5.Apply the lighter pinks and the orange using the same technique (elongated dots) and wiping the nail art brush every time

6.Apply the light green and then the khaki trying to make some leaves. Use more green and less khaki. The trick is that you don t have to struggle to make leaves, just make bigger elongated dots with the brush (look how romantic and pretty it looks)
7.Apply a small white dot in the middle - that will make the flowers pop
8.Top coat
Done

They look vintage, romantic and classy




I also tried this on a base color like matte white, green or matte baby pink . Which  one do you like?



Good luck :- ) 

Love, 
Sophie

Benefit - Finding mr. bright kit review

Hi guys,

I just needed to write this review because i really love Benefit products, but this small brightening mini kit was a real killer.

Kit includes:
  • erase paste in 02 (medium) brightening camouflage 3.2 g Net Wt. 0.11 oz.
  • girl meets pearl golden-pink liquid pearl 7.5 mL/0.25 US fl. oz.
  • posietint poppy-pink tinted lip & cheek stain 4.0 mL/0.13 US fl. oz.
  • high beam luminescent complexion enhancer 2.5 mL/0.08 US fl. oz.

I adore also the packaging, it comes in a small fuchsia box, with a mirror.
I love the details, the small recipients are so lovely.


 Let me tell you now a few words about every product.


 1 - the erase paste is a great concealer. What does it do? It conceals all the imperfections you might have, dark circles around the eyes, and so on. Its texture is great and you can apply it either with the finger tips or the concealer brush.


2- girl meets pearl - it s a pearly liquid- illuminator. It smells amazing, its really creamy and you can apply it so simple with the tips of your fingers. You may apply this on your cheekbones, brow bone, cupid s bow (above the lips)- this is also a trick for your lips to look fuller and more contoured.
This makes the tan pop, and if you don t have a tan don't worry: this golden pink cream will look amazing on any skin tone.


 3-posietint poppy-pink tinted lip & cheek stain
I adore any lip stain because I can actually get to kiss my boyfriend without him saying "ewwww sticky lip gloss". Usually all the lads hate lip glosses on their girlfriend's lips because when we kiss them, 90 procent of the product will transfer on their lips (the glittery color, the smell, the shine).
So i kinda get them when they say they hate our lip glosses. (that doesn t mean we have to quit wearing them:-)
 So, back to the lip stains- i adore them because after you applied the product, it actually feels like you haven't any lipstick on. It lasts so long on your lips and you can look fantastic but also kiss, eat or drink. Another benefit is that it does not smell and its not sticky at all.
Same it goes on your cheeks. This natural pink lip stain can be used as a blush, just apply a small amount with the fingertips on your cheeks. Et voila, c'est fini :-)


4-high beam luminescent complexion enhancer it s similar to the previous illuminator (girl meets pearl) but this is more obvious, more shiny. It also can be applied on the bridge of your nose, crease bone or cheek bones.

Price? Well I got it on sales (yey 25 $) but you can find it somewere between the range of 28-36 $

I give it the maximum of  5 stars !

Cheers my sweethearts !

The Amazing argan oil and the night skin routine

Hi my sweethearts,


Tonight I am going to talk to you about the argan oil, or the "liquid gold" as the beauty experts call it, and how it can help us in our daily skin routine.  I actually found out about this when i started a few years ago to learn and play with essential oils. I was determined to quit buying all those expensive- full of chemicals- skin products and learn how to make my own perfumes, soaps and lotions with the essential oils i had.


If you are a busy person like me, you don't really find the necessary time to go to the beauty parlor and have daily or at least weekly skin cosmetic treatments. So, why don t take the salon at your home?
 What you need is a bottle of argan oil. You can find it on your local drugstore or any bio shop. It price may vary but even if it might look a bit expensive to you, buy it, because its totally worth it.

After you got it just wait and see how many benefits you will get. It's not only a skin care product but also a great hair product.
It s great for split ends - just apply a tiny amount between your palms and rub it gently to your hair.  If you have dry /dull hair or use too much the hair straighter -just put a few drops of oil in your shampoo. Your hair will be easy to comb, shiny and healthy. 
Also it does amazing job with your nails too. It makes them grow faster and makes them more resistant.Or cracked heels. Just rub a generous amount of oil on your heels, put cotton socks and leave it over night.

But lets go back to the skin routine.

The argan oil has amazing qualities for your skin (anti acne, anti wrinkles, anti dry skin). It’s full of essential fatty acids, anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals.

So this is my advice: before going to bed just follow this simple routine and you will see your skin glowing.
Clean your face with your normal cleansing gel. If you have a dry skin avoid anything like soap and go for a sensitive skin gel.
Then put in your palms 3-4 drops of argan oil and let it warm for a few seconds, then start using it by making circular gentle moves on your cheeks, forehead, chin, nose and neck/cleavage area. On the eye area tap slowly with the ring finger. I suggest that particular finger because it s the weakest and the area under your eyes is extremely sensitive.
Do this every night and make it your daily routine. It is better then any possible night cream or serum and its 100% natural.
You can do this each morning too, you just need 5 minutes and voila ! Your wrinkles are gone, your skin looks younger.

Oh, and before I'll go, you can make an awesome lip scrub with argan oil. Just mix 3 drops with brown sugar and a teaspoon of honey and its done. Healthy yummy lips, glowing skin, healthy looking nails and shiny hair. 

Good luck !:-)

Yves Rocher shower gels review

Hi ladies,

I just bought a new Yves Rocher shower gel and i decided to share this with you and also make a review to the other shower cream i got from them a while back.

I love Yves Rocher's perfumes, skin lotions and also bath products because they are all bio, no synthetics added to them. In the past, I was like "I don' care about this bio -fashion" but when I tried products like that, it makes a huuuge difference between the organic products and the ones that have lots and lots of chemicals in them.
 You can see it in the quality of the products (and I prefer quality, not quantity). The scent, the benefits that brings to your skin.

But enough about that. Let's talk about this amazing shower gel i was telling you about:

Yves Rocher - Jardins Du Monde - Polynesian Tiare Flower Shower Gel




First let me tell you that I did not knew that tiare flowers smelled so delicious!
These white beautiful flowers are the symbol of Tahiti, the largest Island of French Polynesia in the southern Pacific Ocean.
You know what is their welcome habit for the guests that visit the island?
They give traditional floral necklaces made of Tiare to them. Imagine how it would be to wear them ...amazing...


 Their scent is so powerful, sweet, mysterious in an obvious way. If I would have smelled this 10 years ago probably my reaction would be "Ewww, to heavy", but now,  I just love it! It is similar to gardenia and jasmine smell, its sweet and attractive. It s great for a shower gel because your skin keeps that beautiful scent for a long time. Also I get to think of exotic islands when i am bathing, so its a win win situation.
Its composition is soft and unctuous, and it hydrates the skin with its organic components.

It costs just 2 Euros ( almost 3$).What can you ask for more?
Quality, great price, organic, lovely. 

I'm giving this awesome shower gel 5 starts out of 5 !
I would definitely purchase it again.


Yves Rocher -Jardins du monde- African Cocoa Bean Shower Cream


This one is a shower cream and I am using it since a very long time.







I'm just in love with cocoa/chocolate/ gourmet scents because I am so much in love with candy. This one makes the bathing so pleasant, its like dipping in a pool of dark chocolate, with a few hints of vanilla .
 Let me assure you it does not smell like the whole Charlie's factory of chocolate.Well. . .  Just a bit. The nice bit, not the lolly poppy-bubble gummy-synthetic bit.
Also this shower cream leaves your skin soft and nourished, like silk. Eatable silk :- ) Yum

It's price is 2 Euros, about 3 bucks.

I grant this delicious shower cream 5 starts out of 5 !


Kisses and hugs from me, your friend, 

Sophie

Glitter rainbow nails tutorial -summer manicure

Hi my sweethearts,

Because of my experience in the nail salon, I've decided to teach you some tricks. So this is my first tutorial on how to make fast glitter summer colorful nails.
So...

What we ll need :

- any pink nail polish (the only rule is not to use one who speed dries)
-4 glitter colors ( i choose for this rainbow look : magenta, electric blue and deep purple-like the band, yeah!:) and gold for a special touch
-a nail file with pointy tip








-this is the nail polish I used

And these are the glitters:

-magenta



-electric blue 

-deep purple
-gold




-the nail file

Ok guys, lets start:


1.Apply the first layer, let it dry




2.Apply the second layer and immediately (don't let it dry!) with the tip of the nail file take equal amounts of glitter and just be creative.Throw them on the nails.

It does not have to be perfect.  If you get messy its ok, blow, and the extra glitter will vanish.




3.After you applied on each nail all the glitter colors,, wait 10 minutes and then take any top coat and finish the look.


Your nails will look fun, glittery, magic and like you've had your nails done by a professional manicurist.
 This look is both for short and long nails, square or pointy nails.

Mine look like this. How yours look? Send replies with pictures.



MEOW  :  -  )

Good luck!

Sophie
