Summer beauty lust list ♥

Zoeva rose gold brush set // Essie 'Find me an Oasis' // Cocoa Brown One Hour Tan
L'oréal Miss Manga Mascara // Laura Mercier Primer // He-Shi Express Liquid Tan


Yes, it is time for an other lust list! Summer is just around the corner and I have so many beauty products on my mind for that occasion. The most important ones are the fake tans. I'm a #faketanholic, I live for a tan skin without using UV. I just love the feeling of looking tan all year round, although it might go a bit patchy or over tan from times to times, it does make me feel better about myself. I have been using religiously my Xen Tan Absolute Dark Lotion for a year and it's one the best I have tried. I love to use it on my hands, my feet and my face, it gives such a natural lovely tan.

Body wise, I find the Xen Tan dark lotion too slow to dry because of the moisturizing texture, I'm always applying fake tan at crazy hours - like 10 min before going to bed - I don't have too much patience for it to dry hence my love for the St Moriz Dark Lotion for body applications. It's super dark and dries really fast. I'll give you such an intense tan, it's definitely of my favorite but as a fake tan holic, I always have the need to try new brands. On my lust list I have the Cocoa Brown One Hour Tan and the He-Shi Express Liquid Tan which I have already order on Feelunique.  I can't wait to try it! It's more on the pricey side but I have heard so many great things about it so, we'll see!

I also am in great need of new mascaras. I'm so picky when it comes to mascara but I have a few favourites that I have repurchased alraeady such as L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes and the Cover Girl bright green one but I wanted to try a new one so I picked the L'Oréal Miss Manga one because it's pink and everyone raves about it!

Nail polish, I'm craving anything pastel so this Essie baby blue nail polish is right up my alley. It looks perfect for summer! I'm also dy-ing to get my hands on this Zoeva gold rose brush set, how perfect? I already have many brushes but these are the most gorgeous brushes ever and they're quite affordable although they're looking super chic. Last on my list, is the Laura Mercier Primer. I need a good primer for hot summer days and this one is apparently amazing, I'm tempted! I hope it's also a pore refiner..you know how these pores get outta control during summer time!

Favourite nude nail polishes ♥

China Glaze Something Sweet ⎪Bourjois ⎪ Essie  Fiji ⎪ Chanel Magnolia Rose ⎪ OPI Panda-monium pink

There is nothing like a neutral nail polish when you have no idea what to wear or you outfit is already very colourful. Nudes are my go-to choice especially for a day at work I feel like a chip is less obvious than with a darker/brighter colour so I don't have to be self-conscious all day about my nail polish (gripping life eh). I used to think nude nail polishes were so boring and very 'grown up' but now they're very much up my alley (maybe because I grew up too?). That remind me I'l be freaking 25 in about a MONTH. Sweet lord. I have a deep anxiety about it, don't really know why but I still feel 20 at heart. I don't know where time went. I'm secretly plotting on all the gifts I want for this very special birthday. I want it to be low key but I want to receive some extravagant gifts. 

Let's go back to the nude nail polishes (it's so easy to get scattered when I talk about gifts ya know). My 'top give' is the perfect mix between lavender-nude, pink-nude, white-nude, softer-pink nude. That's what's really great about wearing nude is that it doesn't have to be that sheer boring color you use for french manicure. NO. Go opaque (or go home right?) when it comes to nude is the only way for me although I still get some 'tipex' remarks about white-nude nails from time to time. It's trendy, ok get over it :-)

What are you favourite nude nail polishes?

My top 10 nail polishes ⎟Spring

I know, I KNOW. Spring isn't officially here yet but I just can't help myself when I feel that lovely sunshine warming me on my way to uni. Speaking of uni, I have two days left before ending school for good, and when I say for good I mean for-ever! Yes, that's right, my studies have come to a term, I only have my internship left and if everything goes as planned I should officially be a PR practitioner in June! That being said, let's dive into the main subject of this post : spring! When I think about spring I think about birds waking me up in the morning with a ray of sun passing through my window, trees burgeoning and also pastel nail polishes. It's the perfect season. This week the temperature went up to 16 degrees which felt absolutely amazing. Here's a little selection of my favourite nail polishes for Spring. Most of them aren't new and I wore them non stop last year. I really want to try some new spring colours but I find the collections a bit boring and déjà-vu this year! 

Je sais, JE SAIS. Le printemps n'est pas encore officiellement là mais je ne peux pas m'empêcher d'écrire un article sur mes vernis préférés pour le printemps depuis je sens le soleil (qui avait disparu depuis novembre) qui me réchauffe quand je sors de chez moi pour aller en cours. En parlant de cours, ca y est. J'y suis, c'est la fin! Il ne me reste plus que deux jours de cours, ensuite j'ai une dernière semaine d'examen et je suis en stage pendant deux mois. Si tout se déroule bien d'ici là je serais donc diplômée en Relations publiques en juin HIIIII! Voilà, j'avais besoin d'en parler, haha! Ceci étant dit, revenons donc à notre sujet principal, le printemps. Quand je pense printemps je pense aux gazouillis des oiseaux qui te réveillent le matin avec un rayon de soleil qui traverse tes rideaux (rien de tel que pour se réveiller de bonne humeur) mais je pense aussi vernis pastels! Et oui, après 4 mois de vernis khaki/noir/gris/foncé on a envie de douceur et de candeur sur nos doigts! De temps en temps, j'ose un vernis plus flash histoire de se préparer pour l'été et les vernis fluos! Je n'ai pas encore acheté de nouveaux vernis collection printemps, je ne suis pas vraiment emballée par les nouveautés... mais je poursuis mes recherches.Vu qu'il à fait assez beau cette semaine, je me suis dit allez! hop! il est temps alors voici mon top 10 de mes vernis de printemps: 

What are your nail polishes for Spring?

NOTV-DAY : Lovie Dovie

Love is in the air. 

With or without a valentine, 

it's time go all lovie dovie and share some love to your surroundings,boyfriend, lover, dogs or whatever..

This colour is the perfect barbie/cute pink .

I am actually a sucker for the colour pink.
My room is filled with pink, all my accessories must be pink, I live pink, I breathe pink, I can't resist buying something if it is pink (and sparkly is a plus!).. but weirdly I barely wear pink.
I own many pink nailpolishes that I never wear because I find it horrendously ugly with my skin tone, it makes me look piggy all the way. But I love how this kind of pink looks on a darker skin tone.
What a fascinating theory we have here! LOL

Have a great day :)
