“What do I wear in bed? Just a few drops of Chanel”
..well not exactly but pretty much like that! I am sure every single one of you, after nosing this little miracle in a bottle, close your eyes and let the memories carrie you away.
One of my favourite scents, so classic and yet contemporaneous.
I was so pleased when I found this Purse Spray version. It slips in my everyday bag and in my travel suitcase, I just have to roll it and use it with one hand (no boring top)..and what about the design? so elegant and luxurious with the gold finishes.
The package comes with 2 gorgeous glassy refills so you get to use the main “bottle” forever, you just replace the refills, what a great idea, right?!
Now Brad’s “wherever I go, there you are..” spot has a concrete meaning to me…
my luck, my fate, my fortune
The right brushes help us create the perfect make up and play with more looks! I have tried many make up brushes and so far my absolutely favorites are the Sigma Brushes.
I did a little guide with the ones I use the most:
FOUNDATION:
When I use a thick foundation I prefer to apply it with the F80 Brush which is really dense and offers a higher coverage when needed. When I use a lighter, liquid foundation or just a BB cream I use the F50 Brush which helps me blend it out perfectly so no weird lines are left.
CONCEALER:
I love concealer and once you have found the right one you can’t live with out anymore, right?! I apply it both on my eye area and on spot or blemishes.
I used to apply the concealer with my fingers but when I tried the P86 Precision Tapered Brush I was blown away, no lines and such an air-brush effect that make me look fresher and relaxed! For the little areas that need extra coverage I use the P80 Brush which is great for difficult areas like around the nose. *Avoid to apply the concealer with the same brush both on your eyes and blemishes, bacterias danger.
POWDERS:
Once my foundation is done I like to fix it with a finishing powder and I use the F30 Brush which is big enough for the whole face and if used on the side it’s perfect for the T-Zone.
BLUSH:
When I use a liquid blush I use my fingers but for the powder blush I absolutely love the F40 Angled Brush. Since it’s angled it blends out the product while you are applying it and offers an even result. I have 5 of them for the different blush shades so I don’t have to wash it every single day :)
CONTOURING:
Most of the times I do contouring, it makes a huge difference and I love it! To apply the dark shade under my cheekbones I use the F25 Brush and for the temples I prefer the smaller version F35 Brush. Since it’s tapered it offers a very precise application plus it also blends out the product perfectly due to the shorter hairs on the sides!
BRONZER:
When I use a bronzer product I like to work with the F05 Brush which is small enough and helps me to avoid overdoing. I like my bronzer delicately applied and almost invisible (which is impossible when it comes to bronzers) but this brush is the only that allows me to built a nice and even sunkissed result.
HIGHLIGHTING:
Highlighting helps skin look healthier and smoother so don’t skip it. For the everyday make up I use a powder product and I apply it with the E50 Brush just onto the upper cheekbones and also onto the brow bone for a brighter, relaxed eye look. When I need that extra glow I use my favorite liquid product which I found easier to apply with the F55 Brush.
LIPS:
What a brilliant product the L05 Brush! It comes with it’s own top cap so I can carry it in my bag for touchups during the day. Always with me :)
If you are thinking on creating your own brush collection I would totally recommend you to consider the Sigma Brushes, they have great quality (very similar to Mac) but much better prices! They ship worldwide and for both my orders (Paris/Milan) I didn’t have to pay custom duties so..weeeh!! They also add a little gift in your pack..extra happiness! Don’t forget to use the code JAN2013 for an extra 10% discount on your order ;)
For now I wanted to show you my favorite brushes for the face, I also love their eye brushes so let me now if you want more details on them.
Good morning loves!
There is no sweeter sound that the morning doorbell melody, nothing beats postman’s morning call! I’m not sure what else makes me that happy in the morning..
Since my last (painful) visit to the dentist I’m trying to take even more care of my teeth. My dentist told me that the electric toothbrush are the best so after a proper research I got this one:
I’ve read so many positive comments on the Oral-B 5000 Triumph
*The Oral B Professional Care 5000 Electric Toothbrush is the only rechargeable toothbrush approved by the British Dental Health Foundation with the highest possible platinum rating for its superior plaque removal, which removes 100% more plaque than a manual toothbrush thanks to its customized brushing with five unique brushing modes.
It comes with a battery station and 4 brush heads(!) 2 floss actioned, one for sensitive gum and a whitening one . The best part is the cute wireless timer which indicates the minutes, the pressure you apply (in case you go too hard it warns you) it even memorizes the usage and adverts you when it’s time to replace the brush head!
I love the design and the fact that it can be used by more than one person since the brush heads can be taken off, so convenient!
My first impression is.. how may I put it right.. let’s say.. - Best Thing Ever - !!!!!! Believe me, after my first time with this little baby there is no chance I go back to traditional toothbrushes.. There is a huge difference and not only I can feel it but I can see it as well, so crazy. I’ve never been so impressed!
Dear torturer dentist now we won’t see each other for a long time, you can bet ;)
I'm Kristina and this is my blog about everything girlish in this world and my lifestyle in the beautiful Paris!
