Mac Paint Pot




A little while ago I slated MAC about their Prep+prime eyeshadow base which is utter rubbish. And on Saturday the kind MAC lady gave me a sample of their Paint Pot in Moss Scape which is a lovely kakhi colour but does nothing for my eye colour. Anyway, the point is I applied it at about 12.00 and it's now almost 21.00 and it hasn't moved. I apllied it directly, no base, nothing! Not bad. The black one would be an ideal base for a smokey eye! Nice!

LUSH


Lush's got to be one of my favourite cosmetics brand. I discovered it in the UK years and years ago and was over the moon when they openend a shop in Strasbourg when I moved back home. 

It's been a while since I've been using these and thought I'd share them. 
The yellow soap-like bar is in fact a shampoo bar. It's called Godiva and will leave your hair and your bathroom smelling of jasmine. It's a conditioning shampoo but I do use a conditioner as well. 
Rafistoleur ('Retread' in the UK) is my favourite at the moment. It's a hair mask but I use it every day as a conditioner. Once a week I leave it on for a couple of hours to get the full benefit of the soy milk, melon, yogurt and avocado (sounds good enough to eat.)

I also like American Cream one of their conditioner which smells divine. In fact it smells so good that they made it into a sollid perfume. Yummy.

La 'Grande Mentheuse' (Mask of Magnaminty in the UK) is pretty good too. It's a face mask which kind of doubles up as an exfoliator. You apply it and before it's completely dried you rub it in to exfoliate the skin. 

I paid my fav shop a visit yesterday to refill on my fav products and to check out their new vanilla range. I was particularly interested in their new solid perfume 'Vanilla Fizz' and was quite disappointed when  I tried it on cos I could hardly smell it. However as the day went on I noticed that the perfume actually developped into a subtle fragrance, quite sweet and very summery. I didn't buy it yesterday but I am certainly going to. 

One last thing, their staff are always so friendly and helpful. They know their products really well and show extreme patience!

En direct live de mon salon


La Nouvelle Star news update.

Tout d'abord suis-je la seule à trouver bizarre que Soan, Camélia et Dalé passent toujours (souvent) à la fin? Est-ce à ce moment là que les gens votent plus? La production essayerait-elle de manipuler le public?

Prix de la prise de risque pour Soan.  Je me trompe peut-être mais  Alabama Song, je ne pense pas que les ricains oseraient et certainement pas les rosbifs. J'ai bien aimé la décadence du truc et thumbs up pour la styliste qui pour une fois était spot on. Qu'est-ce qui lui arrive à elle? Les années précédentes elle était un peu pointue, un peu edgy. C'est toujours la même, j'ai vérifié, mais les looks de la chanson d'ouverture étaient tout bonnement ridicules. Dalé en orange de la tête aux pieds!! Why?

Runner up de la prise de risque pour Lio pour le duo avec Julien Doré, assez courageux mine de rien. 

Prix de la chanson nulle qui devient bien pour Camelia. Richard Cocciante c'est quand même lourdingue et ben elle non! Va comprendre.

Prix spécial pour Damien. Wonderwall! Une de mes chanson préférée d'accord, mais bien executée. Assez classe.  

Prix de celui qui s'assume à fond pour Thomas. C'est pas trop ma came mais il envoie. 

Julien Doré he can do no wrong! Love him.

Je ne dévoilerai pas le perdant au cas où Béa n'aurait pas pu regarder l'émission mais tout ce que je peux dire c'est que his time had come. 

Promis j'arrête le franglais, c'est insupportable.
