Sothys One Night in Paris

A little while back I had the pleasure to get the Fall/Winter collection from Sothys and now I have finally time to review and share the products with you. :)

It's one hell of a classy collection. Look at those pretty things and the lovely packaging - velvet!

Let's take a closer look..

two nail polishes in rouge nuit and beige-doux

Here come the shadows!

reflect nocturne

taupe-intemporel

A beautiful blush - nuit orangée

the shimmer powder "poussière d'or" in the most beautiful packaging

two cute lipsticks in beige and orange

It's swatch-time!

eyeshadows "taupe-intemporel" and "reflect nocturne"

blush "nuit orangée" and lipsticks "orange", "beige"

in sunlight:

All the products have great colour payoff and the lipsticks have a nice scent without being overpowering. It's an awesome collection thoroughly.

I also did a look with the collection. Perfect for fall..

The lipstick is a mix between the two colours. I love it.

The limited edition is available in spas and beauty institutes. You can find out where to get it at www.sothys.com

Have you already made peace with Fall? I still feel a bit annoyed by it. *gg*  The lovely weather is a good consolation though:

Soft Beach Make Up Look

I felt like doing something soft but still summery. Here it is.

I used this old limited MAC eyeshadow trio.

Do you like the look?

What do you think - should I go darker with my hair colour again?? I kinda want to. *g*

Look of the Day

Today we had a family party. I have quite a big family and it's always lovely to meet up and just be a huge bubble of chatter and laughter. So I wanted to look all nice and pretty.

I hope you had a great weekend!

Love,
Valerie

Are we in line??

I saw the new Hourglass eye liner commercial on temptalia and felt like doing a liner look. I modified it a bit. You like??

I'm gonna do something colourful and bright next. :)

Love,

Look of the Week

That was the make up I was sporting this week and I love it. My Anastasia brow pencil is genius.

What have you been wearing this week??

Look of the Day

It's been ages since I did a make up look post and I'm gonna revive this section.

Today, I went for something quick and classy. I'm a teacher after all, even though I'd love to, I can't turn up with bright pink eyes.

I apologize for the crappy background, sadly I don't have a fancy space for taking photos and the best lighting is in our kitchen. We're gonna renovate our 50's kitchen this summer, so it'll be a nice background eventually. *gg*

Those were my tools.

If you have questions about some of the products, let me know. Emma discovered her gardening skills and dug us some holes..

Still embarassed for this gnome.. *g*

MAC's Pink Pepper - Look & Swatches

I wanted this shadow for weeks and in the end my husband bought it for me. Thanks honey! It's part of the Pressed Pigments Fall collection and one of the limited edition shades. Lets look at that beauty:

It is perfect to give you that fresh wash of colour. I love it.

It was definitely worth getting! Did you buy any of the new pressed pigments?

Love,
Guinevere
