Get ready for the beach - part II

The summer's almost there so it's time to hit the gym!
I am doing really well at the moment, I'm trying to eat as healthy as I can, I eat fruits and green veggies which is good and allow myself half a glass of red wine. I've read on the DailyMail.co.uk that drinking half a glass of red wine is good for your heart and helps you to slim down - while on a diet of course! I also read that Power Plates makes you shed weight twice as fast as aerobics. It is said that the small vibrations contract your muscles in more natural way and you don't even notice it! With a combination of non abrasive excercises, you'll be able to lose more weight without sweating as much as you can sweat on the cross trainer. Also a good thing to do, GO TO THE HAMMAM! The hammam makes you sweat all the extra water you have in your body tat you can't get rid off by excercising and it makes your skin amazingly soft, TRY IT!

L'Oréal, because I'm worth it!


I love Penelope Cruz, she looks so gorgeous but her make-up for the L'Oréal campaign is absolutely breathtaking! I've tried it yesterday and to be honest, it wasn't that hard to recreate. Although, I don't have her looks but I know how to do my make-up! And make-up is a girl's best friend.

To start with, always do your make-up on a cleaned face. Put on your favourite moisterizer and blend it with your foundation. My favourite moisterizers are Clarins's Hydra-Matte Lotion and The Body Shop's Vitamin E Moisture Lotion SPF 15. As for foundation, I always use Clinique's Soft Beige #5. And my favourite powder is Clinique's Stay Beige #3. I love Clinique's products. I also use Clinique's Liquid Facial Soap Mild before going to bed.
So mix your moisterizer with your favourite foundation, use it all over your face including your eyelids so your eyeshadows don't get stuck into the little lines of your eyelids.
Use your favourite compact powder on your face and neck. Then use your concealler. My favourite is Chanel's Estompe Eclat #10.

For your eyes, start with a nice shimmering white to use just underneath your eyebrows. Don't use too much, it would make you look tacky! Then use a nice golden brown as your main eyeshadow. Use your black pencil as usual - I can't tell you how to use it cause it depends of the shade of your eyes. I use L'Oréal's Black Crayon Khôl which is perfect and last for a whole day. And finish by adding the black eyeshadow on the sides and a bit underneath your eyes.
Then I use two mascaras, I start with L'Oréal's Telescopic Clean Definition and before this one dries I use Dior's Diorshow Black Out for a more dramatic look.

As for your lips, nude lips are a must when you have a more dramatic make-up on your eyes. Make sure that your lips are always moisterized. I always use Vaseline's Lip Therapy with Aloe Vera, it's THE BEST!!!
Then I use very carefully a lips pencil the same colour as my lipstick. I use the pencil to draw my lips and then use it all over my lips before putting my lipstick. Remove the excess with a tissue and do it again. I use Sephora's Lips Pencil #114 and Lipstick #G19 or Helena Rubinstein's Nude Envy #18. If want a nice, discret and comfortable pink, use Calvin Klein's make-up: CK's lip definition Trust lips pencil and Backstage Delicious Truth lipstick #202.

Finition touches: BLUSH + LIP GLOSS!
I use Sephora's Blush Me #3 and my favourite lip gloss is Calvin Klein's Spun Sugar Fully Delicious #203!

Tadam! You're gorgeous now!

BENEFIT, my best friend!

Benefit is one of my favourite brands. I just can't get enough of their products, they're just so easy to use and their packagings are fun and so different from any other brands. In other words, Benefit is a girl's best friend, even better than diamonds...

More Benefit!

I always spend too much time looking at benefit products when I have everything that I need but I just can't help it; it's the packaging! I just love the Bathina body balm. It's just so nice and the box is just so cute! I litterally melt in front of any Benefit stand. I always go straight towards the Benefit stand in every beauty shop I go to. Can't help it!
OMG! Maybe I'm hooked! That's it!!!! I'm hooked on Benefit products! It's just like a drug!!
Maybe I should go to rehab.

One of my favourite skin care is Chanel's Hydramax + Serum; it is such a treat for your skin, it makes it so well moisturised, soft and beautiful; UNBELIEVABLE!

Because you can't wait for Christmas (counting down the weeks...) here's a good idea to make your loved one happy: The Body Shop created a "Calendrier de l'Avent" which means that the lucky person will get a Body Shop product each day from December 1st until 24th included.

These guys at The Body Shop are so damn clever!
