This collection doesn't really appeal me, I'll certainly save money this time. Or perhaps I'll change my mind when I'll see swatches.

I have received a gift from a friend, Jasmine and White Frangipani body, room and linen spritz, it smells so good. It's the first time I see this kind of body mist at The Body Shop, I don't know if it's a limited edition. You can use it as a body mist or use it as a perfume for linen and room.

Today, I went to the Kiko makeup shop with a friend of mine and I couldn't resist to get a couple of eyeshadows, I took #02 and #26. #02, #26 #02, #26 #02 #26 #02, #26 Dry #02, #26 Wet   The  #02 color   is a kind of shimmery champagne and #26 is a kind of multi colored shimmery grey. I've tried my best to describe both^^

For Spring 2011, Paul & Joe is launching another gorgeous collection inspired by flowers, sunny days and romantic spring afternoons : Parasol. The collection includes a cosmetic pouch with floral patterns 3 lipsticks #071 Afternoon Delight, #070 Hong Tillie, #069 Outdoor 3 Eye color sets 5 Duo Eye colors and 5 nail lacquers 1st row eye color set: #070 Petticoat, #072 Taffeta, #071 Ribbon, 2nd row duo eye colo: #001 Shime, #002 Umbrella Woman, #003 Beams, #004 Picnic, #005 Blue Sky, 3rd row nail lacquer: #011 Prism, #010 Spring Glory, #009 Light, #008 Sunshine, #007 Wood Yin I've already prepared my wish list for this collection, of course I'd like to get everything but it's impossible, I have to pick up just a few items because I'm also waiting for Mac Spring collection (Wonder Woman) and I have to save money to get the items I want.

Here are the names of the upcoming Mac collections for 2011 ( I just have the US dates sorry). I'm especially interested in the summer collection  Surf Baby  and its packaging, I hope it'll be better than To The Beach , the products and colors were ok but the packaging was boring as hell. - Mickey Contractor Collaboration January, - Peacocky January, - Finally Flawless January, - Wonder Woman Spring, - Lightfully Bright (only for Asia apparently), - Future Face February, - Jeanius March, - Sheen Supreme Lipstick March, - Cremeblend Blush March, - Quite Cute April, - Prime For Perfection April, - Big Bounce Shadow + Zoom Colored Mascara May, - Magically Cool Liquid Powder May, - Daisy & Studio Fix Bold Black Lash May, - Surf Baby (2 parts) May

Rubenesque, Coral Crepe (Pret-a-Papier collection),   Delft

I love Calgon Body Mists  and Bath and Body Works mists, both brands are making a large choice of products for bath, body, face and so on. I really like the scent of these products because they are neither too strong nor heavy, they're all very refreshing.   I have a little collection of 9 body mists Calgon: Papaya, Hawaiian Ginger, Bath and Body Works:  Wild Honeysuckle, Cool Citrus Basil, Pink Grapefruit Calgon:  Tahitian Orchid, Morning Glory, and Moon Petal Musk It's a shame that these brands are not sold in France, Bath and Body Works stores are so useful and great. Sometimes, I really have the feeling that there are very few cosmetics products available in France compare to UK or US.

For every girl time is a big issue, I think it's so unfair to age and when you are young you have this feeling that you'll never get old. But this feeling doesn't last because reality is catching up with us. To slow down this aging process, I try my best to find out tips, beauty products to look younger, and to have a skin care routine. Two years ago, I heard of a wonderful product  Meiji Amino Collagen , and since I'm using it on a daily base. It's a fish collagen powder  that you can mix with you favorite beverage like coffee, cocoa, tea, juice, soup and so on. I usually drink it with my tea, and I can tell that since I'm taking it my skin looks better and younger, it has become more flawless. I'm a mixed race girl (Blackasian and white) , I used to have dark spots and now my skin tone is brighter and unified. I also massage my face twice a day. I have 3 different kinds of Amino Collagen powder from left to right: Meiji Premium with Q10, Meiji  Collagen

Two days ago, I'd done my Christmas shopping at the Champs-Elysées and decided to go to Sephora just to lurk new makeup stuff, I found the "Enchanted Glamourland" by Too Faced, even if  I had seen it before on many blogs, I didn't mean to buy it. (I wanted to buy the Urban Decay Book of Shadows III instead, but didn't find it so special when I saw it on store). I took my final decision when I made some swatches, and I decided to buy it, the colors are amazing, smooth and easy to apply, the Label Whore shade is very similar to Blue Brown pigment.  I really like the pixie theme for this Winter collection 2010, last year it was the Marie-Antoinette theme. The palette contains many little treasures:  Pillow Talk lipgloss,  Shadow Insurance  primer, La Vie en Rose  blush, Snow Bunny bronzing powder and 15 eyeshadows. La Vie en Rose, Snow Bunny On top: Pillow Talk and Shadow Insurance, Eyeshadows 1st row: In the Buff, Exclusive, George and Weezie, Velvet

Let me introduce you Dimitri, he's my  2 years old baby kitty. Even if he's a male, I like to dress him up like a doll with cute girls outfits. Every time  I go abroad, I try to find little accessories and toys for him :). It was really cold the day I took this picture, Dimitri was looking the snow he didn't stay outside for a long time.

At the end of November 2010, Nicki Minaj collaborated with Mac and designed a limited edition lipstick " Pink Friday " to celebrate the release of her debut album Pink Friday. It is only available online, it's a creamy pink satin formula and I've decided to order it last week for two reasons : I like Nicki she's a great artist and also because I love the shade, it's a perfect Barbie pink color.
