Heeey lovelies! As you might know, a few weeks ago, I spent a weekend in Amsterdam. It was really nice. I got to discover Amsterdam. I had never been to Netherlands or even Amsterdam. Actually, I had never been to any country where I didn't speak the language. It was sooo unsettling. No matter how hard I would focus, I couldn't make up even one word that would make any sense. I can understand English, French, Spanish and Italian but also a few words of German and Russian. However, in that case, it was no help. Anyway, fortunately, most people in Amsterdam seem to speak fluent English. (hooray!)
We had such a beautiful weekend. It was sunny and very clear. Sadly, Amsterdam was crowded that weekend. People were everywhere and so were raging bicycles. I couldn't believe it. Honestly, I even thought of burning a bike as soon as I got home - in honour of Amsterdam, of course. Joke aside, it definitely was absolutely frantic!
We walked around Amsterdam. I met a very nice Makeup Artist from the Charlotte Tilburry's counter at Bijenkorf. André was sooo talented and taught me valuable things! I'm soo thankful! It was definitely worth the wait... Consequently, I wanted to buy a few bits and bobs from Charlotte Tilburry but a lot of their products were sold out. Lucky me!
This little trip was a good trip but it was also sooo exhausting. It took me about 2 days to recover ahahahahaha I'm sooo glad I got the chance to go somewhere I didn't know. I'm so happy I discovered a new culture and city. I learnt a lot in just 2 days and a half. I wouldn't give it up for the world. I was asked several times if I entend to go back there... Honestly, I don't know. Probably not, Amsterdam was a bit too hectic for me...
I hope you enjoyed this photo diary :) It's always a pleasure sharing my days with you!
I was thinking of doing some sort of Vlog of my trip, would you be interested in seeing that? :)
I will see you soon and thanks for reading. ♥

I have no idea how it happened but I own probably way too much eyeshadows' palette. My Naked palette is a bit of an oldie though. I bought it back when I lived in Ireland - about three years ago, I think?! - so it's getting old as you can see... I bought my Chocolate, Too faced Palette about two years ago whereas the Lollipops Pink Palette was a Christmas gift from my friend. I won't show it to you as I already did here. Anyhow, what I plan on doing here is letting you know what my favourite eyeshadows are for each palette. So let's begin, shall we?!
1. URBAN DECAY, NAKED.
My favourite shade is : Virgin, which is quite obvisous on this photograph. I also like : Sin, Sidecar, Toasted and Half backed. The only shades I've used are gunmetal and creep. It's probably because I have no idea how to use them... Do you have any suggestions on how to use them?
› You can buy it here.
2. TOO FACED, CHOCOLATE BAR.
Now, this is complicated as they are no name under each shade... The lighter shades are the ones I get the most use of since I have a fair skin but I can honestly say that I have used each shade of this palette at least once!
› You can find it here.
So out of the two, I get more use out of my Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette!
What is your Palette Stash ? Thanks for reading and see you soon ♥
Je ne sais pas trop comment cela est arrivé mais j'ai très certainement beaucoup trop de palettes d'ombres à paupières... Néanmoins, ma palette Naked 1 est assez âgée... Elle remonte à mon long voyage en Irlande, il y a peu près trois ans... Je pense en tout cas. Celle-ci commence donc à se faire vielle... J'ai acheté la Too Faced, Chocolate, il y a deux ans. Et la palette rose lollipops était un cadeau de mon amie. Je ne vous la montrerais pas comme je l'ai déjà fait précédemment. Enfin, le but de ce petit article est de vous montrer mes palettes et de vous dire quels sont mes fards à paupières préférés. Allons y donc, mes lovelies!
1. URBAN DECAY, NAKED.
Ma teinte préférée est Virgin, ce qui est d'ailleurs bien visible sur la photo ci-dessus. J'apprécie également : Sin, Sidecar, Toasted and Half backed. Les seules teintes que je n'utilise pas sont gunmetal et creep. Cela est probablement car j'ignore comment les utiliser... Avez-vous des suggestions?
› Vous pouvez la trouver ici.
2. TOO FACED, CHOCOLATE BAR.
Cette palette est plus compliquée à décrire car il n'y a pas de noms écrits en dessous des ombres à paupières. Néanmoins, les teintes les plus claires sont celles que j'utilise le plus souvent. Je dois dire que j'ai déjà utilisé, chaque teinte de cette palette, au moins une fois.
› Vous pouvez l'acheter ici.
Donc entre ces deux palettes, celle que j'utilise le plus et qui m'est le plus utile semble être la Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette!
Et vous, quelles palettes de maquillage avez-vous ? Merci pour votre lecture et à bientôt ♥
NARS Rikugien Satin Lip Pencil is a sheer and soft pink with a frosted finish. If you apply more than one layer, it can look less pink. It's like your lips but better... It's slightly less pigmented than your usual lipstick and is more of a buildable color. The texture is creamy and doesn't feel heavy on your lips. It lasted for about five hours on my lips. I like this lipstick. I like this Satin Lip Pencil for its colour. It gives me somewhat of a glow. If you're a lipstick addict like me, you will understand. Without any lipstick on, I look washed out. And this Satin Lip Pencil is sooo easy to apply and so wearable! If I could I would wear it everyday ♥
As a result, I really want to try other lip pensils. Do you have any recommendations ?
Thanks for reading and I’ll see you soon, lovelies! ♥
NARS Rikugien Satin Lip Pencil est un rouge/jumbo/crayon à lèvres assez transparent. Il est d'un rose tout doux avec un finish satiné. Si vous mettez plus d'une couche vous obtiendrez une teinte un peu moins rose. C'est un peu comme vos lèvres mais en mieux... C'est légérement moins pigmenté que ce que je choisis d'habitude... Sa couleur est modulable. La texture est crémeuse et ne semble pas lourde. Cela tient environ cinq heures sur mes lèvres. J'apprécie ce rouge à lèvres. Ce que j'aime le plus est sa couleur. Cela me donne un effet bonne mine. Si vous êtes une fan des rouges lèvres comme moi, vous comprenez sûrement ce que je dis. Sans rouge à lèvres, j'ai l'impression d'être un zombie... Et ce Satin Lip Pencil est très facile à appliquer et à porter! Si je pouvais, je le porterais tous les jours ahahah ♥
Du coup, je pense sûrement essayer d'autres rouges à lèvres de ce genre... Avez-vous des suggestions?
Merci pour votre lecture et on se retrouve très bientôt ♥
You might have noticed that I didn't blog much between the end of March and now, the begining of April. I think it's about time we catch up. Here’s what’s new with me lately…
01. At the beginning of Spring, I got some flowers from the flowers market. They were so lovely and lasted for about ten days! Nolan was very fond of it, as well.
02. My mom stayed with me for a few days. It was so good seeing her! ♥
03. I've been planning a trip to Amsterdam for about a month now. We will be leaving shortly. I'm so excited! I've never been to Amsterdam ... Actually, as you read this post, I'll probably be there.
04. Quite frankly, these last few days have had their ups and downs. I was very sick and tired but thankfully Nolan was always there to cheer me up ahaha. #catsowners I'm still pretty tired. I think I need to have a check up really soon... It took a lot of time and involved a lot of staying in bed but I feel a little better now so that's always good!
05. I got my very first - and last - piercings! I got my earrs pierced on each sides. It was a bit scary but thankfully one of my friends was there with me - to support me with my crazy ideas ♥
What has everyone been up to ? Thanks for reading ♥
Vous avez sûrement remarqué que je n'ai pas beaucoup écris ces derniers temps soit entre la fin du mois dernier et ce début de mois d'avril. Je pense qu'il est temps de faire une petite mise au point. Voilà sans plus attendre des nouvelles de ma part ou plus précisément cinq choses positives.
01. Au début du Printemps, j'ai acheté des fleurs au marché des fleurs. Elles étaient sublimes et ont tenu presque 10 jours! Nolan aussi les a apprécié aahahah.
02. Ma mère est venue passer quelques jours chez moi. C'était sympa de la voir! ♥
03. Il y a à peu près un mois, j'ai préparé un court séjour à Amsterdam. Je ne devrais pas tarder à partir. J'ai tellement hâte! Je n'ai jamais été à Amsterdam avant cela... Pour tout vous dire, alors que vous lisez ce post, j'y suis sûrement.
04. Pour être honnête, ces deniers jours ont eut leurs hauts et leurs bas. J'ai été très malade et fatiguée. Heureusement, Nolan était toujours présent pour me remonter le moral ahaha (#catsowners) Je suis toujours assez fatiguée... Je pense que je vais devoir aller voir le docteur... Cela a pris beaucoup de temps et a demandé de rester au lit pendant un bon moment mais je me sens déjà mieux à présent! Ce qui est toujours bien :)
05. J'ai également fait mon premier (et dernier) piercing. Je me suis fait percé le deuxième trous des deux oreilles. J’appréhendais un peu mais heureusement mon amie était à mes côtés pour me soutenir dans mes folies :) ♥
Et vous, quoi de neuf? Merci pour votre lecture ♥
