Camille Lacourt plunges Clarins (video)

This summer, France fell under the spell of a tall blond with blue eyes and his cronies that won medals at the European Championships for Swimming. After the debacle of soccer players and their contemptuous attitude and negative, it was good to see a France that wins, friendly and smiling. Why am I talking about this beauty on a blog? No, I do not see a conversion in the sporting, even if it's one of my passions (well yeah beauty addict can be and make pizza night / football). If I speak to you today is of course because it is relevant to the topic that interests us: the beauty.

Mercredi soir, Clarins annonçait un partenariat avec Camille Lacourt, le nageur qui a fait craquer la France l’été dernier avec sa bogossitude, sa bonne humeur, sa gentillesse et aussi son franc-parler (c’est qu’il n’a pas la langue dans sa poche le Camille). Bien évidemment, en fan de sport (et de beaux gosses), je ne pouvais pas manquer ça. J’ai encore fait ma groupie d’ailleurs pour avoir ma photo avec lui. Je sais, ça fait jeune fille en délire, mais ça me fait marrer. Et maintenant, c’est devenu comme un défi, même si ça va être dur de battre ma photo avec Liv Tyler. Enfin revenons-en à nos moutons.



Wednesday evening, then at a small party, Christian Courtin, CEO of Clarins, announced a partnership between the brand and the swimmer. But while all the major cosmetics companies to sign all goes muses, Clarins goes further with this combination of a new kind. For Camille Lacourt will not be a mere muse. Of course, it will become the image of the range ClarinsMen but it goes much further. With his help, the brand will also develop products on topics that are dear to him and work on projects that take heart as also the environment and water protection. And especially at the end of his career, Camille Lacourt will join the company. A partnership that focuses on the future and therefore not one of those disposable associations that we see more and more. Moreover, the brand and the swimmer to have signed a long way together for at least 6 years. Engament a fairly rare in the world of cosmetics and a bet on the future no longer tied to a lightning strike at a personal level of economic development. It's quite refreshing to be emphasized.

Reviews of cute lip balms Ice Cream Cupcakes and Natural Products

I do not know if you remember because it's been forever but I told you (there are very very long time) for the cracking of my adorable lip balms Natural Products on sale at Nocibé their packaging girly pot-shaped ice or their gourmand fragrances to Cupcakes ( HERE). But at the time, I did not have them tested again. It was a low blow to the heart of woman they look too cute. And then, time has passed. Having already so many lip balms open, I did not start again until at least finish one and I ended up giving some Natural Products from a girlfriend for her the test itself. For even when a notice to give you. (Promised eh, it's not laziness that makes me subcontract the job;) but sometimes you need to delegate if we miss some things because of time or for skin test).

So after several months of intensive testing, what did she think of those pretty balms? They are cute but they are provided effective? Present still a bit our tester. In good friend to me, it's obviously a crazy cosmetics, so it is enough to make comparisons, this is not the first balm it uses. Following a mini allergy to something (a product I think, but I'm not sure of details) also became very sensitive to the lips and supports very little. Moreover, most of the time she uses a special balm crafted just for her. Good for these balms: no reaction to mourn, she did very well supported. Which is pretty good. I do not know about you, but I when I see a cute product and not very expensive, even if I crack, I tell myself that it must be full of crap. I am not an expert on ingredients lists cosmetics, I could not compare their form to those of other lip balms (and it must obviously be some junk in it), but I tell myself that if she did not allergic, they should be safe for most of us too. But so far, his opinion is not necessarily rave. Mixed results.

start with the product tested and disapproved: the Lip Balm Icecream, pot-shaped ice. I gave him the chocolate. Level perfume, she did not say much because, in fact, it really stuck on the texture, pretty horrible she said. When she took with her finger, the texture tended to break into pieces. Not easy and not pleasant to use. The balms are not particularly moisturizers instead, she soon left his side. Even their adorable packaging has not saved their relegation. And if the fan of cute and girly stuff has put aside his own, that's really not worth the time. I lost those I had kept so I could confirm, but I trust him. If you pass and you hear the call of the product so cute, go your way because they will eventually shelved.

But not everything is disposable. If she hated those ice, it has instead fallen for those with a taste of Cupcake. Again, I gave him the scent of chocolate and since he has not left his bag of make-up. He has been tested and fully approved. She says it is pleasant to use, it smells good and it moisturizes well. Now, when she lip cream, she alternates between his particular balm pharmaceutical and him is to say. It was conquered. So if you're a fan of cute and girly products, zap the ice and instead choose the Cupcakes. They are sold by four, perfume chocolate, strawberry, cherry, raspberry. I love the strawberry flavor, it feels too good and not the chemical milling well as disgusting in many products. Cherry is not bad too. However, raspberry, I do not like at all (but hey, it's a matter of taste). Besides Wild Berry, I think it's more mature than raspberry.

These, I have found so I made a quick little test. Well, I do not like the sticks as you know so I can not agree 100%, I'm biased. Hence the interest to be tested at one-third more open minded. I love the fragrance first good point. And it actually feels a moisturizing. It is bold, but not too much, whatever a tad tacky to me but right now I'm not at all dry lips, it can play too. It also leaves the lips, a nice little glossy (but not super glossy either, phew). I think they are perfect balm day even though, in my opinion, they may be insufficient if we really need to feed our lips (but hey, it's more a hunch than a statement based on my preference for the pots that I think are the most nutritious).

much for this review by attorney. While my tester, what do you think? It also approves or not (hey, I said it still gave me a lot more detail but the time to go home, I had forgotten everything. Yes, it's serious doctor, I know ).

I cracked a nail bar + OPI nail cracked Katy Perry tops and flops

For the lazy and polish fan I am, the nail bar is a little paradise. Start with pretty nails without having to lift a finger, knowing that in addition to the manicure will last at least a week instead of an average of three days when it was me who did it, it's still foot. Good thing the bar Nail is a new concept that a hit in the capital. They grow almost like hotcakes, and which is pretty good, is that they all have their specialties. Yesterday evening I was well in opening the new OPI Nail Bar Culture of Color. You can say it now, I made a few. Yet it was the first OPI nail bar I was testing (although there are already 7 other if I'm correct in Paris). Already, the strike came in, it's wall paint. Even if others also use Nail Bars IPO (inevitably, it is among the best), it is in the Culture of Color where choice of colors is wider. Old collections, limited editions, even if they are no longer sold (Shrek), news, Texas (Katy Perry): it is enough to spend hours hesitation.

After half an hour of "I want this one, not one, or else ..." the penny dropped. And if I tried the cracked, you know what varnish Collection Katy Perry makes a crackle effect. This novelty effect is available exclusively in this new nail bar. It was decided at me the manicure nail art. Reminder: It is the varnish Black Shatter, which therefore belongs to the collection Katy Perry sold exclusively at Sephora. It is a black glaze over to add another nail and acts I do not know how to produce a superb effect cracked. First step: choose a nail put underneath. I opted for a blue-white at first but the manicurist told me it was better to avoid light colors because the effect was not apparent. No dark colors, either because there will be no contrast. The report will be nicer with slightly iridescent colors (she tested it on a finger on a black sequined slightly, the Luzerne something, and it was really great). It can be used on red or flashy colors (pink, yellow, green) but the result is quite special, it's a little leopard 80s. Very nice but we must assume. Maybe not this the very best every day. The best finish is really with gold or silver, there was something to limit class. I opted for Glitzerland, who hates me yet golden varnish. Well, I think it cracked rehabilitates gold lacquer (which are yet very few people). The result is really great, I love. It's almost class. And above all it seems to be developed and super hard to do while not at all. I who am not a fan of nail art, I immediately adopted this varnish.

Quick Tip of the nail for fitting: after putting two coats of varnish its basic, it should put a layer of the Black Shatter and preferably very thin so that the result is more beautiful (if not was too large black spots and one sees little or varnish from below). After that, we can leave her manicure as it is. Not bad, it gives a contrast between normal gloss varnish is cracked and dull. But it is best to add the top coat, it makes it so brilliant and it's been taken manicure longer. And FYI, a nail polish with Black Shatter is the same price as a normal installation: 5 €. Rather interesting, especially if we want to test this varnish without wanting to buy it.

With my nails too good who is admired by those present, I then went for a visit of the new Nail Bar like no other. For if, when you enter, you only see the nail bar, therefore, the cache space in several other rooms. We can obviously make it a pedicure as well as slimming or facial and body. On the ground floor, there LPG and a cabin in the basement alcove face and a double cabin for facials and body provided with protocols and Comfort Zone products. A Nail Bar in fact improved. It changes and it feels good.

The beauty of the red carpet of the Oscars

I love watching pictures of the Oscars, see who was dressed how, hairstyles of the actresses and their gorgeous gowns (and also laugh a bit of beauty and fashion faux pas). However, do not count on me to watch the ceremony itself. It is often long and boring. So I wake up late in general, I expect the next day to rave dreaming a little too tread the red carpet star trappings. So glamorous. This year, it amused me to make you a top beauty and flop actresses who have trod the red carpet that night. Because so many some are sublime, as we wonder how others may display such a bet.

Tops

Natalie Portman
So yes, I'm biased because I love this actress but she was truly sublime Sunday night. While some women are still a bit swollen and deformed par la grossesse (je ne citerais pas de nom, c’est mal), elle, est superbe. Sa coiffure, son maquillage, tout est juste. J’adore ses cheveux ondulés coiffés sur le côté et son maquillage naturel mais pas nude avec un regard légèrement souligné, une bouche de la bonne couleur et juste ce qu’il faut de blush pour lui donner bonne mine. La plus belle de la soirée, selon moi.

Mila Kunis
Je suis de parti pris là aussi parce que j’aime cette actrice depuis That’s 70’s Show. Mais avec son chignon rétro et son maquillage léger soulignant parfaitement ses jolis eyes she was perfect when it begins when a little in the men's red carpet. Some old road could not be said.

Scarlett Johansson
A square corrugated super sexy (at least on it), I can only agree. Ok, it does not necessarily very red carpet, not chic-Issime, but it is fair. And the wild side a bit, it's so Scarlett. Small flat still for the make-up: I'm not a fan of her eye shadow and her eye makeup. But on her, it happens.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelle Cate Blanchett, is an invented word that seems to eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelle ... Ok, I get carried away. Okay, her hair and her make-up does not break bricks. But it is beautiful. It does not fall into the trap of doing too much but in fact still enough to be radiant.

Florence Welch
I have no idea what was Florence Welch on the red carpet at the Oscars but for a beginner, successful entry. I love her hair color, his fringe and its undulations. However, the review will take a little makeup, un rien fade (mais bon, c’est compliqué quand on est rousse), et travailler aussi la pose red carpet. Un joli sourire c’est quand même plus sympa que l’œil torve. Donc attention Florence, t'as failli te trouver dans la catégorie en dessous.

J’hésité : Réussi ou raté ?

Michelle Williams
En grande fan de Dawson, je suis une admiratrice de Michelle Williams, forcément, que je trouve très belle. Mais je ne suis pas fan de sa coupe Jean Seberg. Ok, elle est encensée dans les magazines féminins, mais moi je la préfère avec ses cheveux longs et ondulés. She could yet be in the tops, because she is still beautiful and I like her eye makeup but I'm stuck a little on her lipstick, the color is weird and not necessarily becoming.

Anne Hathaway
Again, I find that sublime actress. Beauty is a bland, full of spice. But there is something wrong. The makeup is ok, this lipstick crimson highlights its beautiful mouth and huge smile to Julia Roberts. In addition, she chose the mat, so hype. That may be the wrong hairstyle. This bun is a bit old retro but not in the right direction, towards old granny.

Penélope Cruz
Well, Penelope, need to talk. Must turn your hairdresser. Because these blonde highlights in your hair brown, it's just not possible. Ok, for the effect of sunburn but with a little more nuance. There is so 90s. But I forgive you because i love you and that between diapers and bottles, you do not it make you primp.

The Flops

Sharon Stone
Oh, my God, Sharon, what's that sauerkraut giant! It looks like Cruella! And the makeup that ages you and you harden the lines. I say no, no way.

Reese Witherspoon
Again, the barber was just let go! This domed pony tail a bit antiquated, it's just not possible. Too bad because the makeup was rather successful.

Hilary Swank
New ravaging the hairdresser over the bun. This front totally clear, I do not think it's befitting hyper on Hilary Swank. And it lacks a bit of blush on her makeup is nude too, too flat, too monochrome, it does not highlight the features.

Gwyneth Paltrow
If some do too much hair issue, others are not doing enough. This plain wand, I do not like. It's flat. I preferred Gwyneth with her pretty square, it was sexier.

Nicole Kidman
Um, um, what's that weird fringe that falls softly and ugly before the eyes. Without being nasty, Nicole you were so much more beautiful before, in flamboyant redhead who had not abused botox.

Jennifer Hudson
Nevermind bun very soap opera. But what's that chest? I feel assaulted. Turn stylist and hairdresser there because he has not really done their job.

Obviously, this is only my humble opinion. At least they all made a small effort to be glamorous (except that sometimes the good American design or the most glamorous Hollywood is a little weird). An effort that does not necessarily make for the French Cesar. Some were beautiful, but others, it seems they would just buy their bread. Oh la la, where is our legendary elegance?

Taaj: when India is invited in our bathroom

early February, I was invited in a pretty and chic optician to find care Taaj. I already knew a little brand name, its star product so even if I had not tested, but without really knowing it eventually. So I just wanted to deepen the subject. Because it feels good to get away a bit from time to time to our usual marks, to see if the grass is not greener elsewhere.

Taaj is a young brand but draws its identity, its forms and its assets in the knowledge millennium. The creation story is quite interesting and very representative of our time. Stephen Levy, its designer, worked in finance for 10 years when he decided to change his life. Fascinated by India, he decides to go there for 7 months and discovered Ayurveda. This holistic medicine (which takes into account the whole body but also the individual in its environment and not the symptom alone) 5000 year old aims to restore balance between body, mind and spirit to heal but also to prevent disease, aging, pain, etc.. To heal, she uses include yoga, aromatherapy, plants, massage but also cosmetics. Indeed, the skin care is a branch of medicine this millennium because beauty is synonymous with good health. On his return to France, Stephane Levy decided to create a brand of cosmetics inspired by Ayurveda. Taaj was born.

(Photo Caribou)

Specifically Unhelpful For the formulation of their care, based on the principle Taaj Ayurvedic Sanyoga, synergy. The important thing is not only an asset but the combination of ingredients used and who will act together, thus multiplying their powers and their effects. I'm not going to describe in detail how it works, I'm not a good little chemist and I confuse you more than anything else. Say to sum the formula is considered as a whole and that every ingredient used is not put there at random and is intended to enhance the action of its small companions. Obviously, the assets selected by the mark for care come from India and are commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine. At the heart of the formulas, there are forms of herbal essential oils or plant by example but also the water source in the Himalayas with soothing and softening properties.

But beware, if the forms are inspired by Ayurveda, the texture of care is it adapted to Western skins. Because we do not have the same skin as the Indian, the dosage has been prepared for us. Wholesale assets are Indian, but the texture is French. Besides the mark does not exist in India and, if it was started there, it would not work since it does not suit local tastes. Despite appearances, Taaj is a French brand. I say still crowing.

Well, at first, I confess, I was still skeptical. Not on the products themselves but on the whole concept Ayurvedic. I have a pragmatic side, while West, the one who was biberonnée to modern medicine, and do not necessarily believe in alternative medicines or "philosophies" Oriental. And then, during the evening, to get familiar with Ayurveda, we did do a little test. This medicine postulates that each individual is composed of three doshas - vata (air), Pita (fire) and kapha (earth) - including one that defines our dominant personality type but also our skin (and therefore the care we to use) and our hair. So I did the test to see which dosha I was, just for fun but not believing at all. In tests accustomed (and because I also wrote a lot for my job), I know it's all a bit of bullshit. But then, I was amazed. The description of the profile obtained (I am Vata) was spat me (with some details about mini). I am disgusted, I kinda lost the sheet descriptive but since I can remember the lines: already, there was the artistic side, the description of the skin was that too, but what struck me the most hit is the little sentence that said that I tended to forget things. I've already mentioned my early Alzheimer's not (now I even forget the names of the people is to say)? You could say it's a total coincidence. But the test also had just typed Girl Lambda this also that day. Like what if Ayurveda has survived 5000 years, not a chance.

were also treated to a small and nice facial with products from the brand (I particularly liked the scrub). Moreover, there is somewhere a picture of me naked face behind. Horror. I even saw my opinion on the Micellar Water, the best-selling brand. I've been home for six months, I think, but I hate the micellar water, not made for me, so I'd never opened. And finally, she perfectly cleansed without getting your face on fire (as did the ones I used to date). Sudden heart of the fragrance also discovered some treatments that day and who feel divinely good. And cheers for the names of products, very fun: Delhicieuse Nourishing Cream Moisturizing Kashemire, Dry Oil Bombaysque. IPO attention, you have a serious competitor in the category of wordplay.

An evening full of fun and very nice discovery. I left with the new brand: a foot cream and hand lotion in particular (the trademark care for face and body). I'll keep you posted as soon as I pushed all the tests. If you want to discover these products Taaj be purchased in pharmacies and drugstores. I also advise you to go to the website of the brand because it can make a particular test to see how we Dosha and thus discover what we need creams.

Thank Poulette Taaj and thank you for the invitation and for hosting the Caribou. Since it was an optician, I took the opportunity to try all pairs of glasses available and it confirmed what I suspected: I have a head for Ray Ban (Wayfarer or Driver). Arf, I like!

The legend of the Taj Mahal

Finally ................... I'm back:)
After a period of intense work for a great project on which I focused in recent times, I finally back in form and with good news that I will reveal in my next post. I'm so wait a bit:)
Meanwhile, back in to our sheep, I attended a very nice swap "the earth and its treasures" organized by Nansou last year. I'll give you my recipe for soap "The legend of the Taj Mahal" that I made for the occasion.

legend Taj Mahal

 

Il est en Inde, un mausolée de marbre blanc esseulé qui fut construit par l'empereur moghol Shâh Jahân en mémoire de son épouse Mimtaz Mahal (la lumière du palais) la favorite du Harem qui fut sa seule et unique épouse.

Son amour pour elle était tellement grand, que lorsqu'elle mourut en couche, les cheveux de l'empereur devinrent gris en une seule nuit.

La légende raconte qu'il  planifiait la construction d'une réplique black marble of the Taj, on the left bank to hold its own grave. So the couple would be united after death, thanks to the bridge would have connected the two buildings.

Unfortunately, the emperor was imprisoned by his son who stole the power, Shah Jahan was poisoned and was never able to implement its projects.

At his death he was buried beside Mumtaz in Taj Mahal, and they rest side by side for eternity.

- 50% coconut HV (smoothing makes the skin silky, nourishing, penetrating, not greasy, soap bubble)

- HV 30% Sesame (UV filter, insightful, refreshing, relaxing)

- 10% almond HV (asoucissant, fabric softener, anti-stretch marks)

- 10% Br mango (nourishing, softening)

greasing 9% dilution with water for cooking rice

- Coconut milk (moisturizer, nourrissant, adoucissant)

- Terre noire des Indes (colorant naturel noir)

- Dioxyde de titane (colorant blanc)

- HE patchouli (décongestionnant, circulatoire, régénérant cellulaire, cicatrisant, tonique)

- HE cèdre (cicatrisant, astringent, antifongique, relaxant, décongestionnant, cellulite, peaux et cheveux gras, pellicules, chute des cheveux)

- HE girofle (antibacterien, antiviral, antifungal, antiseptic, general stimulant, anesthetic)

To illustrate this legend, I divided into 3 parts soap. The first part from the bottom is the black marble mausoleum that the Emperor has never had time to build, the white top depicts the Taj Mahal in white marble.

The medium marbled black and white is white and the Mumtaz black emperor sitting side by side, united in eternity.

I preferred ingredients found India: coconut, sesame, rice, almond, mango, earth, cedar, patchouli and clove.

Unknown Pain Between Shoulder Blades Causes

From the violence of the electric tooth brushing

Parfois, je me pose des questions existentielles. L’autre jour, la Miss Catastrophe qui est en moi a encore frappé. De bon matin (il devait être dans les 11 h), je tends la main vers ma brosse à dents pour faire mon petit toilettage de canine. Forcément, à cette heure là, j’ai la tête pas où il faut et la main pas assurée. Donc ce qui devait arriver arriva : ma brosse à dents m’a échappé pour finir dans les toilettes (maudite armoire à pharmacie juste au-dessus de la cuvette) ! Encore une victime innocente de ma maladresse. Bon, je l’ai repêchée mais bien évidemment plus question de me brosser les dents with. Yuck. Zou in the trash. And, of course, I had no spare brush. Seeing me go wrong at the local supermarket with my breath and my teeth yellow jackal, I am so determined to do what I rejected for years: opening a power toothbrush stored in the bottom of my closet and I had a press day.

There, I've heard them shouting behind their screen: "What you got an electric toothbrush available and you are satisfied with poor disposable brushes! "Well, yes. I do not know why I never took the leap. However, the one I have is a bit of electric Rolls, an Oral B with a timer that tells you when it's good, it feels good 3 minutes, you also say how much time brushing each area and when the brush is worn. But I do not know, it did not attract me more than that. Maybe because it was too huge for my tiny bathroom and I did not want it eats me up all the space on the edge of the sink (there's already my make-up, my soap face and one hand, there remains a centimeter for something else). I told myself that I keep for when I have a bathroom worthy of the name. Such as pour voyager, c’est pas hyper pratique. Peut-être aussi par pure paresse, parce que ça me saoulait d’avoir à la charger (et à lire le mode d’emploi pour savoir comment elle fonctionne aussi). Non, je trouvais les jetables bien plus pratiques, même si les électriques nettoient mieux. Elle m’attendait donc depuis 2/3 ans.

Mais là, il le fallait bien, pas d’autre choix, je l’ai enfin déballée. Mais je reste dubitative. C’est vrai qu’après je sens mes dents plus propres (enfin, c’est une impression, mais je les sens plus lisses). Mais le brossage avec cet instrument (de torture si je puis dire) not really, but really not pleasant. Already, with his giant stick, it is not very easy to take in hand. I also had trouble getting used to the mini brush. In addition, because there is less surface brushing, I feel like I put twice as much time and forget the zones. Moreover, I find that some areas are difficult to reach. And it is a force! These vibrations, it makes me shiver the whole head. We do not laugh, I do absolutely not kidding. It does not hurt but almost. It has come brushing teeth a chore. I come to regret my brush disposable. And as expected, having to charge it all the time get drunk. Especially when she falls in the road right in brushing. There, more vibration, so I find myself doing things a normal brushing but with a brush riquiqui. Hell. Perhaps it is time to get used to this new movement. There's only been two or three days. For example, even though I no longer need, I'm still doing rotation movements with the hands, while the brush is already doing. I normally just leave "ask." So I wondered: am I alone in finding the unpleasant electric tooth brushing ? Is it because I'm too cozy? And you people rather brushing manual or electric? I told you I was asking philosophical questions.

The Lazy Beauty Goes Web 2.0

After a year of beauty blogging, it was time to go to the third millennium. Being a big void in IT, I left trailing, postponed again and again. But we kept telling me that I missed stuff and needed me to be there. Where? Ben, on Facebook. So, yeah, my blog landed on FB. Besides, it's me or register it's become much more complicated than A few years ago? Some stuff I still do not, you'll have me to look carefully above. In the meantime, if you want to become Friends with Lazy Beauty is thus:
http://www.facebook.com/people/Journal-BeautyParesseuse/100002101706732

To track a little more everyday my delusions. Yes, for now, there is not much but it will come. Tomorrow, I am at my friends finder.

And with the advent of video on the blog, I also had to create my Youtube channel. A real digital revolution say so! Well, Again, I do not quite understand how it worked. I think I'll have to take a lesson "Youtube for zero." So, it's also a bit empty for now, but if you want to subscribe, go there.
http://il.youtube.com/user/Beautyparesseuse

Well, for Twitter, however, it will not for now. It's gonna be without me again for quite some time. I know without the Beauty Lazy Twitter, Twitter is not really, but I know I would not necessarily have the time to chirp, I'd rather throw myself into it. Even if it means missing again stuff. Anyway, must be disconnect at any time. XoXo

Cassis Raspberry Ethnicia of: a varnish hides his game

After a short phase-issique Nars, I decided to take a short break in my testing of my four brand new varnish to find other nuggets in my possession. For between the Texas Collection and some other new OPI nail that lie ahead this spring will be full of tests and the first time. This week I set my heart on the second varnish Ethnicia I had been sent: Cassis Raspberry, pink / deep red that I saw on many blogs and for which I eu un coup de cœur. C’était tout à fait mon genre de couleur : féminine, glamour et qui peut être portée avec tout.

La couleur est superbe, très chic, mais peut-être plus classique que le Violet Lilas testé précédemment. Quoique. Alors qu’elle a l’air rouge foncée la plupart du temps, elle se révèle plus rose au soleil, cassis framboise en fait comme son nom l’indique. Côté application, je l’ai trouvé un petit peu plus facile à appliquer que le lilas, il a une meilleure opacité. Le lilas, si vous ne mettez pas deux bonnes couches, vous aurez une certaine location transparency. No problem with it, it is completely opaque. I think that even if the first layer is thick enough is enough (it is a deduction in view of the varnish, but my first layer is as thin as possible as I learned, I would not put my hand cut) and this will give a varnish over that red raspberry at that time. To hold, it's Ethnicia, so it is good. I also wore it last week and held within 5 days (except the left index finger which is my weak point on all the varnish but I cobbled together that day, yes, yes). But at the same time, I think my top coat is in the process of giving up the ghost, it is pasty so I think it plays on the holding, it weakens it. I noticed that with those used before. Anyway, once again, I am very satisfied with this varnish Ethnicia. I think they have done their job by creating their line. These are quality products at low prices (about 8 €), it should be emphasized.

I care or I throw? Balance February

At the end of February, it's time to take stock of beauty last month with a second edition of "I care or I throw? "Just a reminder of the new resolution 2011: I do not speak not necessarily all the beauty products I use (some not worthy of review), or sometimes I change my mind about them in the long run, my initial review then being out of date or incomplete. So I found interesting to do a mini review whenever I finish a product (which is rare but it happens) and tell you if ultimately it was worth being bought or if could direct the discard.

For this second edition, small balance month so small (5 products though, not bad). No personal care products this month. No, I have not stopped to wash but since losing my shower gel Petit Marseille, I'm looking desperately for a replacement at its height, without finding, so I zap. Next routine hair when I was about to finish my products, I had to replace all the special colored hair, so I start at the very beginning. It is therefore unlikely to see anytime soon in this category. Especially since I cut my hair, I use 3 times less. I had not thought about that but this square, it's crazy that I am saving to do. Go truce blabber, let's go in the heart of the matter. While these products that have passed away this month, I bought or not?

Palette Care Repair Cream Face - Lip Balm, Top Secret, Yves Saint Laurent
YES and NO
Yes, because I already find it very convenient. To recall (I had already talked quickly but you had to zap), this pretty box contains a lip balm and a night cream. No headlock before bedtime, everything has to be a ritual of Sleeping Beauty. When you travel, this conditioning is ideal. Yes, also for the chic and snobbery gesture and the brand. I know I'm weak but I like Yves Saint Laurent and now the brand has never disappointed unlike other big names. Moreover, as I said before, if I had to choose between the three big French luxury brands, it would unhesitatingly YSL. Also somewhat perversely, because compared to the other two, I think we're talking about less then the mark does not lack quality. Yes, also because the products are a pleasure to apply and make their small effect. And besides, they feel good. Cream, creamy and very moisturizing cream is perfect at night. Balsam butter nourishes lips perfectly.

And no, because obviously, since there are two products in the same package, there are fewer than in each one containing normal (30 ml cream instead of 50, 5 g balm instead of 7). So the product by fast enough. Me, I do not know why I have also finished the cream two months before the Balm. Maybe I happened to use them separately. In any case, if there are fewer, the price it is still quite high (59 €). No, also because the night cream is a simple cream that moisturizes and repairs skin, but with my age now, I tell myself that I must put myself in old age care in the evening. And for the balm, I prefer that of Kiehl's. It is equally moisturizer but lighter (because it has more fat than butter). It is particularly pleasant in the morning.

Diorshow Mascara Ecstasy, Dior
YES
For now, I've never been disappointed by a Dior mascara (well, I'll still pass on the new, swivel, this I've seen, it does not have top). I find it that is what the brand does best. Year after year, I fell for their novelty and it always made me lash doe. This one is no exception to the rule. It is a mini version that I had in the Biba there are more than six months I think. At first I was not sure to love. But it always makes me with Dior. As the mascara is too full, there is too much on the brush and it makes packages. But it improves with time and makes the lashes very black and very large, who are more without it could not do too much. There is no effect card. What I like also in Dior, is that they last long in any case, my home. They do not dry out after a month. There, so I more than six months, there is almost over and it is not of first youth, but I could still use it. But since there are fewer must ironing twenty times on the eyelashes and I'm drunk. In addition, I want to test new ones.

Almond Cream Wash Hands, Green Tree
YES YES YES and again, but charging
When I told you that liquid hand soap Green Tree, that had triggered a Crisis good for some laughs. Because the brand is best known for its household products. But it also makes personal care products (shampoo, soap, shower gel). And if I have not tested the others (my sister has tested the shower gel and I think it's not a fan), I became a fan of this cream for washing hands. If there is one product that I use in mass is the hand soap, because I wash them twenty times a day. So I tested a shovel. And so far, my best of the best. And I think it will stay that long. Already he feels good because the kernel (so it was won advance). And then you know that for everything concerning my hands, the scent is paramount. Secondly, because the bottle is just a giant (500 ml, whereas the others are usually 250) when its price is minimum (less than 3 €, so the same price or less than its competitors who have yet least in the belly). An economical and environmentally friendly. In addition, it is paraben free (and without a lot of bad things) but a life still 12 months after opening. Me, he did not have 12 months, since my frequency of washing, but it stayed in my bathroom for quite some time anyway. And when it was finally over, no bought a bottle but not an eco-charging, plus it is cheaper I think. When I tell you it is ecological and economical.

Caring Nail Polish Remover, NO and NO Herome

I was first attracted by the solvent because it did not smell remover. It was amazing indeed, it had the perfume of a treatment. But I quickly became disillusioned. Because to remove the varnish, it was hell. At first I thought it came from the nail itself, but since I changed my nail, I no problem, all coating go on the blink of an eye. So is he. My advice therefore is: do not buy it especially! With my current nail, I need a single cotton and sometimes a single face to remove the varnish perfectly with all my fingers and I moisten cotton than three / four times. With him, I had to furnish the solvent on cotton at least twice a nail and I do not even tell you the number of cotton that I was leaving. And I also spent hours because he had rubbed again and again. Was wearing. Some nights, I finished even desperate, thinking that I would never get to take off my nail. He had particular difficulty with black, red and those sequins. Sometimes I even let the remains on the nails (of colors or glitter) because I'm rubbing, it did not leave, and I let the matter by exhaustion. So a real failure. And anyway, I buy the next nail is the magic bath at Sephora. More than a small bottle to finish and it will be mine!

Oil Tonic Firming and Anti-Water, Almond, L'Occitane en Provence
NSPP
Translation: Do not know. To be effective (on the aspect the skin at least), a slimming treatment must be applied daily, morning and evening, even better. Those who follow me from the beginning may remember that I started using this product there is almost a year now. So no, I was putting not every day, rather than twice a week with breaks of one or two months. Necessarily impossible to judge its effectiveness. But I still wanted to finish to try to start another and regularly use one. Otherwise, I liked the texture of oil, quite pleasant to apply. Instead, put it very, very long time to penetrate into the skin really not made for those who want to get dressed right away. I had my pants drag on for at least half an hour. Also a little disappointed by the perfume that did not feel that I like the almond, the glue Cleopatra.

much for this second edition. I hope this has been informative for you and it has helped you. See you hopefully end of March (I'm opening phase product, not sure I can make enough dead by then).
