Image
  Hi Friends :) Just like I did for my favorite skincare products of this summer 2022, I thought I will not left my makeup products out.... And because Autumn is coming very fast, I thought I will not waist any more time. Going more and more back to the office, I had the occasion to try out quite a few items this summer. I can definitely said that some were a nice discovery You ready? let's go (and yes they are more than 5 items this time) Mascara and mascara primer:  ZOEVA Infinite Potential Mascara  This one is a new discovery. I received it in my Glossybox advent calendar from 2021. It took me a long time before testing it (I had other ones to use before) but the wait was worth it. It really gives me nice / long lashes like I wish them to be. Little "cons", there is a lot of material in the tube so each morning I struggle a bit to not get too much product on the brush, otherwise I end us with black eyes 😂 DIOR - diorshow maximiser 3d - base serum mascara. This one is

2022... the year of projects 🏡

🏡  Hi Friends :)  🏡 So Jérôme and I started this year kinda on a bad foot. We were supposed to have a flat in Juvisy sur Orge. Our flat. That we saw being built as it was new. That we thought we could start a family in.... But let's just say that it wasn't meant to be as things got bad with the owner... So we had to let go of this project. To get us back on our feet, we decided to look for a house that will belong to us. That we will be the owners of. But we didn't really know what was our budget or anything about "the steps of becoming an owner" To make it short, we found in February a new real estate program in Boissise le Roi (77) called  Les Villas d'Orgenoy  and that was suiting the budget our bank advised us. We were at first thrilled about this project and started visualizing ourselves in this future house. However, it was only a 2 bedrooms one, with no garage and only a small backyard. Also, it's a terraced house (on one side only as we are at th

  Hi Friends :) So generally in the beauty community how it works is you do a monthly favorite post / video and then at the end of the year instead of December favorite you do a "best of the year".  I think it's interesting and I like to know about the youtubeur / blogger I follow what their "holy grail" products are month to month and then in December, to know what they've been using as the winners of the year, the ones that really stood out . So that's kind of what I feel this post and the future ones like that will be but I want to do a seasonal one and then in December, I will also pick out my personal favorite products of the year Are you ready?  Here we go! Those are my Summer Top 5 Skincare Items (in no particular order) 1) Re-Boost, healthy glow tinted gel-cream by My Clarins 50 ml, 26€ at sephora This one is a recent discovery made by accident. But a  pleasant one. I basically ordered during the sales some discovery boxes on Sephora. With the re

A weekaway in Normandie

  Hi Friends :) In May 2022, Jérôme and I went on a little weekaway in Normandie We were staying at the  Pierre et Vacances Houlgate While we were there, we enjoyed visiting the cities around Houlgate (Cabourg, Villers sur mer, Dives sur mer)  but also the most beautiful village in France (Beuvron en Auge) We also went to some cider houses to discover the process of making cider (and do a lot of tastings 😅) And of course, Normandie being the region of farms, we had to visit one and befriend all the animals It was a really nice few days away from work and all the little things of life We were in our bubble. I can't wait for our next little adventure which should be Summer 2022
