Collective haul.

  Hi everybody!
  So, if you have read my last article, you may know that I was supposed to receive a Bourjois internet order that I absolutely wanted to share this with you guys but the thing is, after 3 long weeks of waiting this freaking order hasn't been shiped yet.
   Also, if you have read "I'm sorry" you may know that I have bought a few things too from differents shops and I mentioned in that post that I didn't have enough items to do an entire artcle about it. Since the week end has passed, I couldn't help myself and I bought some things! Which means that I now have enough things to share with you guys! I will do an article with my Bourjois order anyways! So yeah, let's get started!

   You may know if you're following me on twitter or instagram (if don't then what are you waiting?) that I'm a nail polish addict. That's why the first thing I'm going to show you are nail polishes.
   
    The first nail polishes I have bought are from Kiko. I must admit, all of their colors are absolutely georgeous but the quality...oh my god. My nails became so damaged and they started to double and stuff which is super annoying.
    Another thing wich is super annoying is that the nail polishes don't have names so I can't tell you exactly what/who (?) they are but I will do my best to describe the colors.

   The first one is a pale neon coraly orange. Yes, it might seem weird but I feel like it is the best way to describe it. It's kinda pastel but on your nails it looks like a neon, it is sort of flashy. I absolutely love this color and it might be one of my favorites to be honest!
   The second one is a simple lilac, there is not much to say about it because I haven't tried it yet so... I'll let you guys know about it!

 

   You can see though the nail polish how damaged they are...wow! 


   I'm wearing an infinity ring from ShopPublik here is the link shoppublik.com you should all check this super freaking amazing fluffy website okay.
  I've paid 3,90€ each.



   The next nail polishes that I'm going to show you are a set of 4 from l'Oréal and I actually didn't bought it, my amazing mom gave it to me for absolutely no reason just because she's the nicest person in the world. Anyways, that was me fangirling about having the most perfect mom ever... 
   There's a random red, a orangy pinky coral, a candy pink and a pastely pink. (From left to right) No408 ; No208 ; No210 ; No209.
   Since it was a gift I have no idea how much they were, sorry! 
  





    The last nail polish I'm going to share with you guys is a nail polish from essie which is called "bahama mama" don't ask me what it means I have no idea! The lightning was bad because it was super dark is the apartment so the picture does not give justice to this beautiful color. It is a burgundy dark purple, more dark purple than burgundy to be honest but anyways. It was 11€ which is not so cheap but I just loved the color and the quality of essie is really likeable so yeah.




    Staying in the nail theme, the next thing I bought from Kiko are these nail polish remover travel wipes. I got this because I really wanted something like that for my hand bag since I always wear nail polish, if for some reason I want to take it off and I'm not home well this is a life savior. It was about 3.90€ I guess, I'm not sure sorry.

    Moving on to make up, the next thing I bought is a foundation. This is the Rimmel "Match Perfection" in shade "103 true Ivory" I have heard so so so much about it I really wanted to give it a try and I worn it today actually, it was a small day for me but until now I like it. I'll let you guys know if more!


   Staying in the "face-make up-beauty-skin" theme (whaat?) the next thing I got is a night lip balm. Since I have braces, I thing that I sleep with my mouth open (don't judge me, this is so not glorius.) I'm wearing braces since 2 years and I never had so damaged and dried lips in my life! I can't even wear lipstick because of the lip skin I guess (I don't even know if it has a particular name or whatever but anyway) there are some tiny little pieces of lip skin that kinda go off and if I wear colored lipstich you can see them even more. So when I was at Kiko and saw it I really wanted to give it a try since it was more or less 5€ wich is quite affordable. I have tried it and it is so amazing! I feel like reliving! I'll talk about it in my next monthly favorite, that's for sure! Stay tuned.



   LADIES AND GENTLEMAN LET ME INTRODUCE YOU THE PERFECT HAND BAG PALETTE! You have guessed thanks to my enthuiast introduction that I'm going to talk about make up. So this one has a story : I got it in my easter egg! Like I said earlier, my mom is the most attentioned person and since she know me realy well, she knew that I'd be happier with make up than chocolat or candies (I'd be super happy too if I had chocolats though) So she searched a little make up product that she could put in an egg and she found the perfect thing! It is a nude palette by Nyx with eye shadows but also some lip products! I just think it is the cutest thing ever. Thank you mommy! 




 

   If you're following me on instagram you may have noticed that I'm a huge H&M lover so I quite often go there and buy 2 or 3 items. The first thing I have bought from H&M is a set of 3 pairs of ear rings. There is one really simple, it has shine. The middle one is the actual reason why I bought it : I have been searching for anchor ear rings for ages! I had to get it! So it is a simple gold anchor wich is super cute if you ask me. The last ones are hearts, they're a bit big but I really like them. They have tiny  little shine all across them and it's also in a gold color.




 The next thing I purchased from H&M is as useful as lice. This is so not a good example but anyway, I hate lice. It is wet wipes that smell good, you just take a wipe and put it on your hand I guess. I'm not quite sure what it is for yet, I'll let you guys know! It was 0.95€ so I thought "why not?" ! The day I took the pictures, my nail polish was matching the little flowers so yeah! It is the Rimmel 60 seconds in a pinky shimmery purple shade, it has no name like the Kiko ones sorry.
  Also, I felt like I had to mention that I absolutely hate the smell to be honest... MAybe some people would like it but I just don't... There are other smells that might be more likeable but this one is really unpleasant.






  Not from H&M but staying in the super random things, the next thing I got from the baby section are cotton pads XXL. Super useful!

 
   Another random thing I got is a shower gel from treacle moon. It is the "iced strawberry dream" one. The color catched my eyes on the shelf and when I smelt it, I thought it would be so nice smelling this after the shower. It smells like strawberry candy and I just love strawberry candy...


This was the last item that I have bought lately! Thank you for reading and even more for reading that far!
See you all very soon for a new post,
Loads of love,

Always forgive, never forget.



Hi guys, it's me again.
  Today, I'm not gonna write anything about beauty or fashion. I guess it more a lifestyle, an idea to live by...
I'm writting this because I know how it feels to be left behind, to be a second choice, to be broken or feeling so alone you just wish you could disappear. I also know that I'm exposing my life to perfect strangers but if what I will say below could help just a single one of you, just one, it would be more than enough.

  If you ever been cheated on, lied to or disappointed by someone you really trusted then I know exactly what you are going through. Maybe you're just in a part of your life that's not easy, maybe you have not find yourself yet. Being a teenager is hard (yes, I still am a teenager but my mommy told me so and she never lies okay) and you always feel like whatever happens to you, it is the end of the world, your world.
  You're feeling like you're not worth the truth or being with someone anymore, and this feeling just hurts so bad deep inside. And that's okay. You have the right to be sad, mad or broken. The only thing you musn't do is to keep everything on your shoulders, you are strong enough to keep going but you can't do it all alone. Friends and family is the best cure against sadness, loneliness, pretty much everything if you ask me.
  Don't stick to the situation. You have to get better and you will, you have to feel okay again and move on. You can't move on the next chapter if you keep re-reading the last one, turn the page (not takig credit for this super famous quote but I could'nt agree more.)
  At first you'll be sad, you might cry your eyes out at night. Keep doing it, tears are just words unsaid, the more you cry, the more you get better. Don't do anything stupid that you might regret. If you're in the "sad" part, then keep looking forward, head held high, don't give up yet. This part is the hardest but I can asure you, once you past it, once you're angry, you're half way to the "I'm feeling so freaking good and it's not thanks to you" part.
   If you're at the angry part, let it all out. Be angry. Scream. Shout. Yell. Beat. Work out. Run. Draw. Do whatever makes you feel better and unwind. Let the world know what you are thinking, let things out, in anyway.
  You can be mad at anyone, and you probably will, but not at you. You have nothing to do with the person who lied's choice. It is not your fault, don't you forget that. There is something you really have to know, when you will be ready to forgive the person who did you wrong and maybe who doesn't deserve your forgiveness, you won't do it for anybody but you. You need it to get over it and to move on.
  Knowing you are strong enough to forgive someone who might have zero reason to be forgiven is one of the best feeling in the world.
  If you are not angry anymore, it means that you have gone through a lot with strength and that you have moved to the next chapter. This is one of the best things you could do, move one and live the life that makes you happy. Maybe some people can stay in your heart but not in your life.
  Forgiving does not mean forgetting. Learn from your mistakes, never forget.

  I hope this tiny little thing made you feel for at least 37 seconds that you are not all alone, made you feel like we all've been through pretty much the same thing but not the same story. You always can talk to me, I'll listen. No matter where you're from, the colour of your skin, your religion, your age.
  Find me on twitter or instagram if you ever wanna talk...or not.

  See you all very soon for a new post,
  Loads of love,
  Lou x

March favorites

Hi guys!
There are the six products I really have been enjoying this past month.
And the winners are...............


















 L'Oréal thermo-reparing milk for very damaged hair.
 Be pure clarifying mud mask.
 Sephora blusher "blush me" in shade 11.
 Maybelline "master precise" liquid eye liner" in black.
 Maybelline "great lash" mascara in black.
 Yves Rocher lipstick from the "Grand Rouge" collection in shade 41. "corail etincelant".







The first thing I really love is this blusher from Sephora, it contains 3 different shades in it, all of them have pretty gold shimmers on it  : a nude one almost creme, a really clear peachy pink also nude and the last one looks more like a bronzer but combined to the two other ones, it gives a natural and pretty look. Because of the shimmers, your face looks healthy, woke up and bright! Perfect everyday-blusher and it was quite cheap, I can't remember exactly but I think it was about 11 or 12 € !
You can find it in every Sephora.


































The next think I really liked this month is this natural pink lipstick. The picture does NOT give justice to the colour, so I'll do my best to describe it (nota bene : I'm the worst person to describe colors sorry about that!) The lipstick is quite pigmented so you can adjust the brigthness on the lips. I'm not a "lipstick person", not because I don't like it ( I absolutely LOVE lipsticks ) it's just that my lips are really pulped and if I put some colored lipstick I look ridiculous! Anyway, this natural pink fits correctly on my lips even tho the color is absolutely gorgeous!

















Another thing that absolutely amazed me is the maybelline "master precise" liquid eye liner in black. The tip is super thin, it's scary at first actually! It gives you all the precision you'll ever need for your eye liners and cat eyes. Also, I really liked this because of the color. This is quite weird to say but the black is a really deep dark black and when it dries it becomes matte but not the "your eyeliner is two thousand years old" kind of matte, the "wow your eyeliner looks super light" kind and I like that fact. I bought it in a supermarket and I actually picked this one up (and I'm so glad I did!) because it was the cheapest of all, it was 9.90€ which is really affordable and the quality is really nice. I'm happy that I bought it and I highly recommend this liner to all of you!


The next thing that I bought at the hypermarket (also with my mom, I just love shopping with her) is a maybelline mascara. The color grabbed my eye so I took a look at it and the fact that it was pink and had a heart on it did influence me...don't judge me. I bought it for absolutely no reason in a matter of fact. When I first opened it I was like "wow that's a small brush we have here plus it's a plastic brush...I'm not gonna like it." but I tried it and I literally felt in love. I don't usually like plastic brushes I think they don't grap correctly the lashes and for a mascara that can be just a tiny bit annoying... Anyway, I was really surprised about it, my lashes were pulped, way much longer and bent. I also recommend it, it's really cheap for a mascara, I'm sure it was between 8 and 9 € but I don't remember precisely the price.


































 This is a life savior. Lately, I had some naughty spots that wouldn't go away so I went into a parapharmacy and asked for the most clarifying and affordeable mask so the nice lady gave me this mud mask, it has strawberry and yarrow in it ! The color of it is so pretty, it's a pastel -almost pink- purple, and the smell is so nice. During a pamper evening I love putting this on because it's also relaxing, fresh and leaves a healthy feeling on the skin, which is really likeable. All of my naughty spots decreased and my skin looked better after I took it off. I just love this mask so much and I recommend it to everyone of you! It cost me 13€.


















And the last thing I wanted to share with you guys is that thermo repairing milk. I dyed my hair twice and it badly damaged my hair, they lost their shiness, they were really dry. I started to use all kind of oils, masks and this is the only thing that actually worked! My hair looks more shiny and healthy now that I'm using this twice a day. At first it smells not really good, but then the product penetrates the hair and it smells so good! You always find yourself sniffing the ends of your hair. I bought it at the hair dresser and I totally forgot about it so I didn't use it for a while that's why I can't tell you how much it costed...sorry!
















Hope you all enjoyed my march favorite, see you all very soon for a new post,
Loads of love,
