my new sunglasses { review }

22 August 2016

serenbird *née jolie* *partenariat* *review*

Heeeeey babes! How are you doing? I've fallen head over heels. As you might remember, I have collaborated with Née Jolie. I recently placed a new order on their website. I picked those beautiful shades. They are pretty amazing! In fact, they are mirrored lenses sunglasses. Let's face it, they are everywhere this summer. It's no surprise I went for it as well. They are quite solid and cheap. Very good quality for the money! I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend those sunglasses!

What are you favourite sunglasses ? How was your summer going? Did you make any good memories?
Thanks for reading and I will see you on Wednesday! ♥

Heeey babes! Comment allez-vous? Je suis tombée sous le charme de ces lunettes Née jolie. Dans le cadre de mon partenariat avec la marque, j'ai déjà réalisé des revues. Ces lunettes sont très solides. Elles sont vraiment trop mignonnes. Je dois avouer que je suis fan des lunettes à miroir. Cet été, avouons le, elles sont partout. Une fois de plus, un très bon rapport qualité prix pour ce produit! Une fois de plus, je vous recommande ces lunettes de soleil :)

Merci pour votre lecture et on se retrouve mercredi ♥

5 faves lipsticks

21 August 2016

serenbird - beauty blog *lipsticks*
Heeey my lovebugs! I thought I would talk about one of my favourite subjects : lipsticks. I don't know if you've noticed but I'm addicted to lipsticks. There isn't a day that goes by when I don't wear lipsticks. I love lipsticks. It brightens any face. It does make a difference.
“Lipstick was an easy answer to boredom. It was the most exciting thing you could do in the shortest amount of time because for a second, you got to convince yourself that you were the kind of gal who wears lipstick every day. You got to pout to yourself, and trick yourself that you were glamorous. Then in a second it was over, time to wipe it off and start again.”

♡ Stila, Stay all day - Bacca.

♡ Ciaté London x Olivia Palermo Satin Kiss Lipstick - Velveteen

♡ MAC - Cosmo.

spend the day with me #5

Hello lovebirds! Last weekend, I spent a few hours near Aix-en-Provence, in the south of France. I went to a lake called Lac Birmont. It's such a beautiful lake. Unfortunately, you can't actually swim into the lake. It doesn't make it less fun. It's such a nice place to hike around. The landscape is amazing. We ate near the water. It was sooo lovely! I decided to share my snaps with you.
As always, it's a pleasure to take you with me on a photo journey! Take care, lovebirds. Thanks for reading and I will see you on sunday! ♥

Love & other drugs

17 August 2016

serenbird - lifestyle blog

Why are you still single? Is something wrong with you ? Do you chase them away? Those are the kind of questions you're getting used to if you're single like me. Until they eventually stop and become used to the fact that you're still single. Then it becomes something like : you're going to stay single forever. you clearly are never getting married. For the record, I'm only 22 years-old. I clearly didn't realize that my clock was already ticking... Sorry about that, folks!

I recently saw the movie : how to be single. If you have not seen it yet, you definitely should! It's very funny but not that realistical about my single life. I might be doing it all wrong... Who knows... I lost my leaflet on life years ago...

I know, a lot of bloggers are actually not single. We've all seen their handsome boyfriends. Well, I'm not one of them. My last romantical relationship was in high school. It ended about a year after I graduated high school. Since then, I've been single. Unfortunately - or not - my life is nothing like in the movie how to be single.

I'm not the kind of girls who gets noticed by guys. I don't get picked or even chased after. Guys don't flirt with me. I'm your average petite brunette with a big personality. I'm blunt, friendly and clumsy. I get bored too easily. People both annoy me and amaze me. I hate judgmental pricks and injustice. I'm probably boring as well. I like being on my own. I love my freedom.

To be honest, I've only been in love once. I'm not even sure he felt the same way. I will give you more details...
Once upon a time, I fell in love with a guy that lived in a far away land and then it was over before it even began because life isn't a love story. It's simply life and people are deceitful.

serenbird - lifestyle blog

And after that, there is simply nothing. I haven't had time. I've been focused on other things. I've been working and studying. I've been trying to built a life for myself. I've been trying to have a future. Maybe, they are right and maybe it's too late now.
After all, having a boyfriend by my side might not be something written in my stars. Well, perhaps, someday if I'm lucky enough. I guess, if you're an handsome and nice guy who likes me, here is your chance. If you don't hurry, dear future boyfriend, you might miss out on your decade of missed opportunities... I guess I should add that I'm single and ready to mingle... - or not. If you're single like me, I understand. I get how annoying those questions are. Let's all agree and vote for their extinction. Give us a break. Having - or not having - a special someone in my life doesn't define me. We are our own person. I wish you all to find whatever / or whoever / you're looking for...

However, if you're in a couple, stop talking about your special someone and try to remember that other people still matter when you're not single. We get it, okay? Message received. You're not single like us. Get over yourself! It doesn't make you any better than us, the single folks! Anyway, I hope you're all having a good week even if you're not single.

What about you, what are you thoughts on love and relationships? Do you have a special someone in your life?
Thanks for reading and I'll see you on Friday ♥

Stila, all day liquid lipsticks { review + swatches }

15 August 2016

serenbird - stila *all day liquid lipsticks*

Hi lovebirds! Today, I'll tell you all about my new lipsticks. My very first, liquid lipsticks - how exciting! Well to be fair, I own a liquid lipstick by bourjois but it'sn't that great. I had never tried anything from Stila. Now, I definitely want to try Stila's products. Actually, at first, I only bought one liquid lipstick (Bacca) and then I went back and bought another one (Fiery).

I'll share my review of both liquid lipsticks at the same time. It seems easier that way. Then, I can do a little comparison.

serenbird - stila *all day liquid lipsticks*
I've been rocking those bold red lips all month. I know dark red lips are supposed to be Autumn/Winter shades but well, rules are meant to be broken.

Stila - Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick , Bacca. (€18.50)
My opinion :
I find this liquid lipstick very watery and hard to apply. It dries up very -very- quickly so you have to get it right the first time. Or else, you will be left with the Joker's smile. Anyway, I'm sure if anyone can rock that look it's you. You can't mess up and fix it later. It'll be too late. The formula isn't drying at all. It doesn't transfer at all. Bare in mind, this is a dark red so it could have looked like trash if it wasn't so opaque. It lasts - on my lips - for a good 7 to 8 hours without looking weird - or creasing. I even wore it on one of my hikes with a good 36 degrees to test it for you.

Stila - Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick , Fiery. (€18.50)
My opinion :
Fiery's formula is quite different from Bacca's formula. It doesn't dry too quickly. It's less watery and easier to apply. Once it's all dried up it doesn't transfer. It's the perfect red, my perfect red. Not too bright, not too red. I love it to bits. It's perfect for summertime. I find that paired with minimalist makeup red lips are just the absolute best. However, I'm not certain it stays on perfectly for as long as Bacca. When you eat greasy food and dring a lot, it tends to vanish. Nonetheless, the creasing isn't that bad when I use a lip liner underneath.

For disclosure, I always use lipliners when using a liquid lipstick cause I'm sh** about putting on liquid lipstick. I desperately wanted to do some swatches for you. I'm sorry if they don't look that great. I wanted my swatches to be as real as possible. I hope you'll enjoy this review regardless!

Have you tried any Stila products ? Which ones are your favourites ? Do you like liquid lipsticks? Thank you for reading and I'll see you on Wednesday ♥

Coucou mes lovebirds ! Je profite de cet article pour vous parler de mes nouveaux rouges à lèvres. Pour tout vous dire, c’est la première fois que j’essaie les rouges à lèvres liquides. En dehors de mon rouge à lèvres Bourjois dont je ne suis pas fan de la formulation, je n’en avais jamais essayé d’autre. Je suis tombée sous le charme de la marque Stila grâce à ces rouges à lèvres. Tout d’abord, j’ai acheté seulement un rouge à lèvres puis après l’avoir testé, je me suis empressée d’en acheter un second. J’ai choisi de partager ma revue des deux rouges à lèvres liquides en un seul article. C’est beaucoup plus simple ainsi.
J’ai utilisé ces deux rouges tout le temps ce mois-ci. Je sais que les lèvres rouges foncées sont souvent réservées au mois d’hiver et d’automne… Les règles sont faites pour être contournées. Surtout dans le maquillage, aucune règle ne devrait être appliquée. Faisons ce qu’il nous plait ahaha

Stila - Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick , Bacca. (€18.50)
J’ai acheté le mien sur le site de beauty bay. Je trouve que ce rouge à lèvres est très très liquide et sèche très très vite. De ce fait, il n’est pas très facile à appliquer. Il vous faudra faire preuve d’adresse et de rapidité. Sinon, vous allez rapidement vous retrouver avec un sourire de JOKER. Je reste certaine qu’un look de joker vous irait sûrement très bien ahaha Il est donc difficile de corriger les erreurs de tracés. Il sèche vite et ne transfère pas du tout. Il ne laisse donc aucune trace et n’assèche pas les lèvres. La couleur est un rouge bordeaux. Il tient pendant à peu près sept à huit heures. Et pourtant, il a été testé dans des conditions « extrêmes » ahahaha pendant une petite randonnée avec 36 degrés. Lorsqu’il commence à s’effacer, il n’est pas si horrible que ça malgré sa teinte foncée.

Stila - Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick , Fiery. (€18.50)
La formulation de Fiery est quelque peu différente de celle de Baccca. Elle est un peu moins liquide et sèche bien moins rapidement. Elle est plus facile à appliquer mais du coup peut se transférer pendant quelques minutes. La couleur est un rouge, un rouge parfait à mes yeux. Un rouge qui n’est pas trop criard mais pas non plus trop foncé. Je trouve qu’accompagné d’un maquillage minimaliste, un rouge à lèvres rouge fait toute la différence. Cependant, je ne suis pas certaine qu’il tienne aussi bien que Bacca. Après avoir mangé et bu, il a tendance à disparaître un petit peu. Néanmoins, si j’utilise un crayon à lèvres, il tient un peu plus longtemps.

Veuillez noter néanmoins que j’utilise toujours un crayon à lèvres en dessous de mes rouges à lèvres liquides pour la simple raison que je suis totalement naze pour les appliquer. Je tenais terriblement à vous montrer le résultat des rouges à lèvres porté. J’adore regarder des swatches de rouge à lèvres avant de me décider à en acheter un et peut-être que vous aussi. J’ai également souhaité garder l’authenticité des couleurs donc je m’excuse si la luminosité n’est pas super excellente dans un des swatches. En tout cas, j’espère que vous apprécierez cette revue.

Avez-vous déjà testé des produits Stila ? Quels sont vos préférés? Aimez-vous les rouges à lèvres liquides ?
Merci pour votre lecture et on se retrouve mercredi ♥
