Write Christmas Cards For Friends

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.

Towel Rod Replacements Ceramic Holders

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 ).

Installing Welded Wire Fence Post 4x4

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.

What Is The Green Goop In My Cat's Eye?

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?
