Etude House recently released a new palette! I love their seasonal palette, I must admit.. I got them all! There's no color that you won't use or which is too "flashy", every shadow can be used in a casual makeup look! I actually don't wear makeup daily and I wanted to be reasonable and just skip this one palette but I just couldn't resist! The shadows are so pretty! Tadam! I was super surprised but.. the colors are actually extra pigmented! (except for the lavender color, I had to swatch it multiple time so it is visible) I got the Peach palette and I feel like these shadows are more pigmented than the other ones.. but tell me if I'm wrong... What did you think of this palette? Did you got it too or are you going to get it? :) Note : I haven't updated since last year! I actually had few ideas, but I didn't even get the time to make drafts and post them. I was super busy dealing with school, depression, intern...

At first when Kylie launched her brand I wasn't very interested, I thought it was a bit pricey and at first there was not a lot of review. Then I saw a lot of people being interested and say a lot of good things about it so I thought.. why not? Au début quand Kylie a lancé sa marque je n'étais pas trop intéressée car je trouvais ça un peu cher et il y avait très peu d'avis là dessus. Puis j'ai vu beaucoup de personnes intéressées et qui ne disaient que des bonnes choses à propos de ça et donc je me suis dis.. pourquoi pas? In order to just test it, I only picked a single matte: Ginger.  A kind of .. dust pink color with a hint of orange/brown? J'ai juste pris qu'une seule couleur pour tester: Ginger. C'est un.. vieux rose avec un peu d'orange/marron? This is when I went out around 2 pm. Ça, c'est quand je suis sortie vers 14h. And this, is when I came back home around ~5pm. During that time, I ate a croissant...

Grande Hotel Café finally came out two days ago in France at Sephora and.. I've been waiting for this forever! So I went out and bought it today!! :D  But to be honest, I already own a lot of make up and especially brown-ish tones so with a friend we decided to split it and I only took the Eggnog Latte palette. The packaging is so cute and it smells heavenly!  I've never had eggnog but to me it smells like Pumpkin Spice Latte, haha. Here are some swatches: I am a bit disappointed at Frosty Nog and Eggnog Latte , the eye shadows aren't very pigmented and I actually swatched it many times so it could be visible.. :( On the other hand, I am absolutely in love with Iced Coffee , Cold Brew and Central Perk ! Especially Cold Brew, it looks like gold on the palette but as you can see it's brown with gold sparkles, the color is so rich! The blush is all good. :D Very cute peach color, I already own a similar color tho...

Lately I went on Cosmetic Love and saw that Nature Republic had a collaboration with EXO and launched some very cute handcreams and lip balms. I thought I could give it a try since it's really affordable and ... EXO's fan .. of course.. *wink wink* I bought Chanyeol's handcream version, which is rose scented and I also got myself Sehun's lipbalm which is a lime mint scented. This is actually my first time getting Nature Republic products! First surprise, there is actually 2 handcreams! I thought I was only getting one and didn't really paid attention. haha There is also a photo card inside!  The size is similar to L'Occitane's handcream, but what is even more surprising is that... even the texture of the cream is similar!!  It has a shea butter base so it's 'thick', not too creamy and liquid so it doesn't make your hands "sticky". (Great thing for smartphones users like myself, it doesn't leave a lot of p...
