For Christmas, Yves Saint-Laurent has released some shades of its famous Red Pure Couture limited edition Kiss & Love. The colors are identical to those of the regular collection, but small mouths embellish the packaging and grapes. I possessed no Rouge Pure Couture, so it was the perfect time to offer me one!

The limited edition packaging is irresistible. These small red lips on a golden packaging make their small effect. One is in the cute, cute, but it remains in the chic and luxury.

The shades were snapped like hotcakes. I have no choice, there was only Fuchsia 19 when I decided to place my order. Since I fell in love with the fuchsia lipstick with the limited edition Givenchy (all the details HERE ), I'm not afraid of this strong and intimidating color. So it's no regret that I am spoiled.

The reasons are clear, precise and well cut. The product is well finished, in all its aspects. The quality is unquestionable.

The texture is itself simply divine. I regret not having discovered the Rouge Pure Couture earlier. It is creamy but not fatty. It is moisturizing but not sticky. It suits perfectly to my dry, chapped lips. It is comfortable, and her outfit is solid (I drink tea without stopping, so I do not keep my long lipsticks, impossible for me to tell you if he wishes hours!). He did not file yet I wore it without pencil several times.

Here are the swatches:

The amount is very limited, they are selling like hotcakes. If you wish to offer or give to someone, hurry, quickly!

This first experience with Rouge Pure Couture enchanted me, here I am well advanced, I now want to expand the family ...

Kiss & Love!

I hesitated to publish this challenge. Too frivolous, too light, too unreal after the nightmare. I then asked how long it would take me to the futile no longer appears to me so indecent. The answer has become evident, there is an alternative for me mope and lament on the unlimited cruelty of this world or resume as soon as the course of my life. The first assumption is unnecessary because negative emotions lead to nothing except chaos. The second hypothesis seems more beautiful. Get on with life does not mean we deny the reality that no one is indignant or indifferent. Resume normal course of his life is to persist in pursuing the path we opened. This is stay positive. This is contributing to fill this world with love and peace. This is to show that terror must not prevail over fear and consternation. I do not ask anyone to share my views. I ask you to respect him as I respect yours. I understand that one does not have the heart to celebrate Christmas next month. For me it's the opposite, I have more than ever the bleeding heart and Christmas will bring heat to stop the bleeding. For my part, I will not leave the madness of a few spoil a single moment of my life ...

Of course, the news that I would request to Santa to bring peace on earth, to bring those that madness took away too soon, suturing wounds that never close again. But I have more 5 years. I know it's not Santa Claus that will make this world a better world. It's all of us. It's me. It is you who reads me It's all of us. Every bit helps. So I want to continue to spread a little joy, dreams, futility, rainbow and glitter in the greyness to it never becomes dark. I want to keep smiling despite everything. I want to celebrate my birthday next month. I want more than ever shake my relatives in my arms at Christmas. I want more than ever to take the chance and the miracle of my life. I want to continue to enjoy mindfully life given to me. I do not want to spend the rest of my time crying on my bed, curled up and frightened. I mean shit to intolerance, barbarism, racism, prejudice, violence, war, injustice. I dream of a perfect world that does not exist except in my head.

My letter to Santa will therefore represent what I am, what I've always been. A woman who claims her femininity, her age, her weight, her freedom. A woman who wants to go out alone at night if she wishes. A woman who wants to go out with friends if she wants. A woman who has no children. A woman who makes the choices it considers just. A woman who strives every moment to be happy without taking away the happiness of others. So for Christmas 2015, I'm not going to change anything in my line of conduct. I will offer a host of possible gifts to my loved ones to inspire those who are out of ideas. But as always I will leave everyone a chance to surprise me by this of his choice. A simple phone call will be enough to light my day. Contrary to this blog might suggest, I am absolutely not materialistic. My values ​​and my happiness can not be bought. But small gifts, useful or futile, contribute to the magic of Christmas and are signs of love. With you today I will share that positive images, picture of calm, tranquility and serenity of innocence. I needed a break and warm my soul.

I more than ever bitter with anger at the injustice. I more than ever want to live in a secluded cabin in the woods, lulled by nature, away from the cruelty of man. But flight is never the solution. So I do not lack indignant whenever required, for Christmas 2015 and I will be more generous than ever with the causes that are dear to my heart.

If you have written your letter to Santa Claus today, whatever it is, you can share it in the comments below.

Long live peace, long live love, long live the respect, tolerance lively.

Nude Dip palette Tom Ford was released in the fall of 2014. For months, if not years, before that I drool cosmetics Tom Ford. But they are hard to find here in Quebec. I placed an order recently in Toronto, and I offered this particular pallet Nude Dip sublime that I find beautiful in the fall. Of course, it will make me happy for the rest of the year also because its colors are neutral.

As can be legitimately expected with a prestigious brand like Tom Ford, the packaging is very neat. Pochon velvet, chic and understated packaging, quality brushes, solid case and done. The shadows are pressed and the brand logo is engraved in the mass.

Visually, it was worth the money. The gold trim provides a luxurious touch to the product.

The palette contains four mini makeup brushes and 2 double-ended. It also contains a large mirror.

4 blushes are very harmonious. They offer a degraded sublime neutral colors that blend with each other smoothly. All combinations are possible, the choice is well thought out.

The lighter shade is a beautiful frosted champagne in metal and satin finish. It reveals golden highlights the brightness.

The top right shade is a nice satin copper that takes on pink, very bright.

Then comes my favorite color palette, a brown mole that pulls the old rose.

Finally, a very classic matte brown and full traditional harmony.

Let's see what these shadows overlook the skin with swatches:

The quality of these shadows 4 is impressive. If they are in my opinion very easily dupables (I think including the makeup of the Naked Urban Decay palette), their impeccable quality puts them at the top of my list of favorites neutral makeup. Indeed, they do absolutely no fall, they apply easily and uniformly, the intensity is very easy to be determined. Finally, the outfit is impeccable. With a base (Sin Urban Decay for me), they survive without weakening to 10 hours.

This palette is a little crazy, a little luxury that proves quite useful and delightful. I think I'll add a Tom Ford range on my list to Santa!

To me, the Guerlain makeup collection Neiges & Wonders is the most magical Christmas. I recently introduced you to Meteorites Flakes Enchanted (see HERE ), the flagship piece of the collection in my opinion. But I let myself be tempted by other pieces I also found very poetic and enchanting: the powder Terracotta in their snowy enclosure, the Red Rose G 867 Wonderful and Hell Gloss 902 Reflections stars. Although Gold & Wonders palette is very nice, I felt that I did not have my money with tiny and rather common shadows.

Let's start with Terracotta . I am a fan of this good-looking powder. I managed to resist the colorful boxes of the collection last summer, but I could not say no to pretty white box Christmas glitter.

This is a classic Terracotta dyed 03 Natural Brunettes, but in a removable housing in white silicone studded with sequins. Once the empty powder, I can reuse the box on another Terracotta.

Reserved for collectors because objectively there is nothing transcendent there! Only addict Terracotta, or those who do not will have died.

Let's go to Red G 867 Wonderful Rose .

This is my first Red G. I never succumbed before because I find it very bulky and inconvenient packaging. But then, with all these crystals, I could not resist. It is a heart stroke, both for color as for the formula.

Finally the Hell Gloss 902 Reflections stars :

It evokes the sun glints on snow, when it is frozen surface. This Gloss Hell looks like snow tubing. On bare lips, it gives depth and volume.Over a lipstick, it adds light and reflections. A true wonder.

I have not succumbed to the charms of purple varnish (Wonderful Night) as the color did not really excited when I saw it in stores. I did not wear this color view. A matter of taste!

Time to swatches finally:

Wonderful Red Rose G / Gloss Hell Reflections stars / Terracotta

Here is a quick overview of my acquisitions collection Guerlain Neiges & Wonders. A magical collection and quality, at the height of my expectations for Christmas.

And you also seduced by this collection?

Among the Christmas makeup collection 2015, that of Guerlain is the most magical and most magical. Everything evokes snow, Christmas, flakes, white, celebration and joy. This is the most poetic collection I've ever seen. So I no surprise fell for some pieces, including the incredible Meteorites Flakes Enchanted beads. The name alone transports me to the wonderful Country Christmas ...

Every detail is delightful, starting with the size snow globe.

Obviously the finish is flawless and every detail is neat. The powder puff supplied is soft, elegant, silky and majestic. The above case is finely engraved and gilded. A large round mirror is provided inside the cover. Everything is perfect.

The beads themselves are festive and winter. pearly white beads, iridescent golden beads, stars mattifying, the right mix of effects can illuminate the complexion without shine brightly.

The record is clear to the naked eye, but elusive photo. Despite dozens of pictures, it is difficult to get a record of their effect on the complexion. You can see on darker skin swatches in Ommorphia . My fair skin, no real color is detectable only light is visible.

I apply them by mixing them with a large powder brush to get all the nuances, then I drop them in a veil across the face, above the foundation. They are perfect for attaching the skin without drying and to give brightness subtly. We see a better, but we can not clearly identify where it comes from! Meteorites Flakes Thrilled are really a powder "Sublime".

It can also be used as illuminator more conventional way, by putting more product on a denser brush and depositing the material under the eye and on the nose bridge. We must then do not hesitate to have a heavy hand.

Incredibly, these are the first Meteorites pearls that I offer. So I can not compare with other versions. All I know is that I'm crazy and that I might well offer me other beads one day!

And you, seduced by these fairy flakes?

On Monday, more than ever, we need of love, peace, calm, tranquility, peace, rest, hope. More than ever we need to offset the flood of emotions and negative images that assail us. We must protect, if not how to survive? The statement of the challenge on Monday is simple (ICI ): share pictures, stories or positive stories. So I just decided to share some pretty pictures makeup, cats and nature, endless sources of happiness and joy.

To protect me, I always go back to basics. My relatives, my Darling, my cats, my home, nature. I take my eyes with beautiful things. I occupy my mind with music that soothes me. I refocused on me and my circle of comfort. Peace and love, with those two words then, was my ideal world.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, I'm not talkative today. What to say except to express his fear, hopes, fears, doubts, my disappointment in man, this animal still capable of the best and the worst. I prefer not to spill on what news reminds me.

To try to stay positive, I refer you to one of my articles devoted to 10 things that make me happy .

I just naively believe in the harmony between Man and Nature. I just want love, tolerance and peace ... How is it that we have not learned anything? Is barbarism really own the rights? That's it, I start to think too much, I have to put my brain to break quickly.

If you have the challenge, or if you just have love to share, please leave a note in the comments.

Good week!

Generally, I am someone organized enough. I like order, rituals, habits. I have no problem with the unexpected, however, when they occur I am pleased to enhance my ability to adapt! For this new challenge Monday, it is matter of presenting my evening types (statement HERE ).I'll introduce you to my "normal" evening, when I finish the work on time, there are no races, output or planned activity (that is to say 2 to 3 evenings per week).

I work full time 5 days a week. The evening I arrived home around 18 pm, if all goes well.

First thing I do upon arriving: change me! I am unable to keep my outfit for the day as soon as I crossed the threshold of my door. I leave my day clothes to put on comfortable clothes, reserved for indoor use (basically, I leave my jeans or my suit pants to slip yoga pants, so much more comfortable!).

Then I fed my hairy. They have a bowl filled to the brim with croquettes in which they come pecking day and night, but morning and evening they are entitled to meat or canned wet food (veterinary formulas obviously ...). litter cleanup and games ensue period most often.

Cheri returned to 18 h. We tell our days preparing the evening meal (and sometimes lunch box lunch tomorrow). 19 to 30 pm, we eat!

Then comes one of my favorite moments of the day: the removal. I presented my ritual HERE . It's ten minutes of comfort, relaxation, relaxation, happiness. Any fatigue and worries of the day fly along my makeup.

Three options exist to me for the evening's progress:

• Honey is or I have work in this case each moved to his computer;
• either I take care of my blog, my email, my social media and I stroll on the internet (reading other blogs, watching videos ...) while Darling plays his video games;
• either we settle in front of a movie or a TV series.

Around 22 pm, I lay in my bed, warm, Cheri and my big hairy as a heaters. Depending on the mood and what I've done before, I read or watch videos. I force myself to turn off the light at 23 pm at the latest, even if it is sometimes very difficult to close my book or cut Netflix!

And you, what is your party guy?

PS: this weekend we did the Christmas tree, I obviously took pictures and I take this opportunity for you climb!

Good week!
