Hello ladies! January is already over, it's kinda scary honestly how time is just flying. I thought it's because the first part of this month was crazily busy for me, so without even realizing it it was already like January 20th, and now it's February and and then spring and ... yeah, you know what I mean. Here is a quite famous blog post, the well loved favourites of the month. Even though it's quite a traditional bloggy-youtuby things (I should stop inventing words I guess?), it's my very first time doing it. I thought with the new year, it might be a good time to just start. 

Let's start with make up, my most worn lip product has to be the Tanya Burr lipgloss in Lunch Date. As Tanya herself says, it is the perfect shade for everyday. The gloss is quite pigmented but doen't wash me out and it goes perfectly with my daily bronzy smockey eyes.

Fashion wise, this is one of the best present I ever received in my life. For those who follow me on instagram, you might have seen it already, but my parents got me a Saint Laurent wallet for Christmas. I was so happy when I got it, the leather is so soft, the gold detailing on point and the design is timeless. It is quite a boyish wallet but it is exactly what I like, I am not into super girly details when it comes to bag or wallet, like bows or fancy diamonds stuff. Another YSL favourite, the Black Opium perfume, aka the sexiest perfume I ever own! The scent is quite strong and might not be everyone favourite but I really love it!

Then my random favourites. First, TV shows, I finally watched the new episodes of Pretty Little Liars, 3 in a row, kind of the best night ever. I love this show, like I don't want it to stop ever and can it just be tuesday everyday? Second random favourite, and that's pretty random one to be honest; notebook. I got that neon pink notebook at the begining of the month and have been doing to do list almost every single day, obsessed and it really helps me to be much more organised. About music, I've been listening to two songs on replay : Dilemma by Selena Gomez, and No Interruption by Hoodie Allen. Share your favourite of this month in the comment box and I wish you a happy february!

BINGE READING, 4 OF MY FAVOURITE READS

As a new blogger, I think it's really important to visit, read and post comments on other blogs. In fact, it's important first to share the love, and pay attention to other fellow bloggers work. Visiting other blogs always inspire me and motivate me to write more, and I love reading blogging tips and advices from my favourite bloggers. I also love to read some good makeup or skincare reviews, especially before going shopping and I think it's also a simple way to start lovely friendship through the comment box. Recently I had a little more time to myself and I am reading much more blogs than the past few months. I decided to share with you four favourites of mine, not including my two beauty blog bibles, Vivianna Does Makeup and Lily Pebbles. If you want to see who are my top 5 fashion read, you can check my previous post here. 

1. Seyda Karimpour : I am obsessed with this girl I love her blog, her youtube channel, her instagram account, everything. Her style is amazing, she has perfect hair (like girl ... I am so super jealous of your perfect waves) and seems to be such a sweetheart. I find some really good outfit inspiration on her blog and IG account. If you like that "monochrome+greyandcamel" kind of trend, definetly check her out! 

2. Noirette Diary : Such a talented girl, she has some very good makeup skills and always creates lovely eye makeup looks. You can also find some makeup review on her blog. And can we just say that her skin is flawless?

3. The Sunday Chapter : I am obsessed with that Aussie lovely girl. The layout of her blog is clean yet a little girly, she comes up with really good post ideas and her pictures are really clean and profesional looking (teach me how to do that so I won't post my gross and ugly pictures!). Can't wait to try her raw coconut chocolate slice recipe by the way, it looks super yummy!  

4. Elise Dopson: This cute girl has a lot of very good post ideas and always share her blogging tips with her readers. She also write a lot of good make up reviews and has a very good interaction with her readers since she always reply to comments! A sweetheart to follow!  

WEEKLY FAVE & CATCHING UP

Hello beauty lovers, sorry I haven't been posting for such a long time, but december in a french college student life means deadlines, finals and all the crazy stress coming with it! I had so much stuff to do before the holidays period, but now it's almost done (one last spanish presentation and I'm all finished!) But let's start with my favorites! 

1. This Asos coat. It has to be mine. I've been on the hunt for a camel coat for quite a while, but the few that I found where always too long or not fitting at all. But thanks god for Asos, they're now selling this beauty. Basically all that I was searching for, a decent lenght, a lovely camel color, and the super duper fluffy colar.. I mean ... who doesn't love fur collars? Asos, give me a 20% off coupon, or a 30% off ... something please. I've been obsessed since I saw it on their website and I can't imagine the rest of my winter without it.

2. Hairburst : I'm not someone who use to take vitamins or any types of pills for weight control, hair or nails. But lately my hair has been in a terrible condition, it was so dry, falling a lot and basically not shiny and healthy at all. Bad hair days were like an everyday kind of situation and I decided to experiment with some hair vitamins. After a few research I finally decided to try Hairburst. I've been taking two pills a day for almost two weeks and I can already see some changes in my hair. Firt, my hair is much strongest, and shiniest and I feel like it starts to grow out! For the moment I totally recommend the pills and I think about taking them at least two more months to see result on the long run.

3. As long as I remember I always liked and respected Gwen Stefani so much. I think she's the kind of women that never needed to go out naked or to have overlly sexy dance moves to became the amazing artist she is now which is let be honest pretty rare nowadays (no problem with Rihanna, Nicki Minaj or any other R&B singers tho, women are in my opinion free to wear whatever they feel like wearing). Not only she's an amazing singer but I also think she's a real style icon. I love her signature make up look (winged liner and red lips, on porcelain skin, can't go wrong) and her shoe and accessories line became a favorite of mine a few years ago. Ok I should stop rambling and come to the point: Baby Don't Lie is PERFECTION. I love this song. On replay for a few days now! 

WEEKLY FAVE - NEW SHAMPOO, DEAR FUTURE HUSBAND AND NARS

1. I am on the process to getting healthier hair. I am sadly a flat iron fan and my hair is dammaged and usually quite thin. For that reason I started using the l'Oreal Fibrology shampoo, conditioner and special serum. I really note a good result on my hair so far. It's not a huge change but I feel like my hair is a bit stronger and thicker. Let's see that in a few weeks. Also dolls, two hair questions, I'm thinking about trying the Hairburst vitamins for hair, any feedbacks on these? Same, I would love to get my first clips hair extensions, I was thinking about LuxyHair, since the reviews are good. Did you ever tried them?

2. Meghan Trainor ... I wasn't really understanding all the fuzz around her but... I listen to her songs and OMG guys I love love them! Totally recommend them when you feel a bit down, good mood in a few minutes garanteed! I'm singing her songs all around my house ... and my dad be like ... damn my daughter has some severe troubles, but who cares, these songs make you feel like singing all the time! I've been playing Dear Future Husband on replay, like twenty times on repeat kind of thing. "Buy me a ring, buy buy me a ring."

3. Sephora France released the Nars Virtual Domination Cheek Palette! Like FINALLY! I was crazy when I saw it on their website yesterday! I think it's a good value for money if you consider your getting 3 blushes, 1 highligther and 1 bronzer, in a really beautiful packaging . As I'm not owning any famous NARS blushes or bronzer I would love to get my hand on this (and guess who has a 10% code to spend at Sephora?) 

4. I was first planning on doing a special outfit post for this but let's be honest, I'm really writing too many fashion posts. That's why I'm adding this Kristina Bazan outfit to this weekly favorites. I love the sexyness of the boyfriend blazer paired with a simple lace bralette, and the casualness that add the distressed denim.

WEEKLY FAVE - DESI PERKINS, SKY HIGH PUMPS AND OLD FAVE

1. I've been following the gorgeous Desi Perkins for quite a while on youtube now, but for a few weeks, I became completly addict to her videos. She's crazilly talented, and come on guys she has such a perfect and dewy skin. Also, she always come up with perfect brows! I'm obsessed with the looks she created for Halloween, and I would love to recreate her Bride of Frankenstein make up. Sadly, we're not really celebrating Halloween in France and I'm not sure to be able to recreate such a flawless make up anyway. If you love the look on the picture, you can find the complete tutorial on her channel. 

2. I am a pump fanatic. I love them pointy and high. Without any platform. And this model from Zara is close to perfection (not saying that because I am completely addict to Zara). I've been seing these babies for the first time this summer when I was in Tokyo and I tried to forgot about them, like, I really tried hard. Because they're quite on the pricy side, but after paying a visit on Zara website again, and seeing they're still in stock in my size ... I'm about to order guys... 

3. Neutrogena Visibly Clear Skin Stress Control. That's quite a long name for my favorite facial scrub. I'm using this product for years and years (like 5 years maybe). I love the smell and it's not too agressive on my skin. I know it's not supposed to be good for the skin but ... I tend to use it on a daily basis. 

WEEKLY FAVE - COZY SWEATERS, NICE DRESSES AND DARK LIPS

1. Turtle Necks - With the come back of fall and winter are coming back cozy sweaters. One of my favorite trend when it comes to this is turtle neck sweaters. I love how cozy and warm they are. I'm always freezing when I leave my house early in the morning and those sweaters are my new best friends. The one I'm wearing on the picture is from H&M last winter collection, but I plan to get some more, maybe at Zara or Forever 21.

2. Nicole Scherzinger (Big Fat Lie) - Scherzy finally released her new album! And I love it! I sang Your Love all summer long. I was liking this track so bad and she was gorgeous in the video clip. My favorite song on the new album is by far "Girl with a Diamond Heart". I think it's such a lovely song and Nicole's voice sounds pretty amazing. Must listen to this if you're into RNB ! 

3. Yay for fall! I can finally wear this Shiseido lipstick again. It's the first Shiseido product I ever had and it was gifted to me by one of my lovely japanese friend when I was in Japan! The color is hard to describe. It's a dark red with a bit of plum and brown tones at the same time. It's such a lovely color for fall and goes perfectly with neutral or champagne eye shadows.

4. Three Floor Dresses - I've been obsessed with Three Floor for a few years now. You might have seen some of their dresses around already since many fashion bloggers love to wear them. I'm obsessed with their clean cut and lovely material. I check out there new collection recently and some dresses are to die for. Picked a few one to share with you.

WEEKLY FAVE - BLACK OPIUM, CHANEL VIBES & JAPANESE BEAUTY

1. YSL Black Opium : It's quite surprising for me, since I never liked YSL perfumes before. I'm usually much more into light and floraly scents when it comes to perfume, but for once, I changed my mind. It's has coffee accords scents (which might be the reason why I love it, since I totally love coffee smell), mixed with Patchouli, orange blossom and cedarwood. I think it's a very good perfume for fall and winter and it's from now on my Christmas wishlist. The packaging is also to die for! I love the mix of black and pink and the bottle as some little sparkles spread everywhere. A good mix between feminity and masculinity, as usual from YSL.

2. Thank's Zara for restocking this bag. Because yes, I might splurge on it. I need a little black back to carry on everyday, and this one seems like the perfect one for me. It might be a close cusin of the Chanel Boy Bag. And well, I love the Chanel boy bag. But cannot affoard it. And won't be able to affoard it in years I guess. 

3. Jun Hasegawa is by far one of my favorite model and women in general. She's a gorgeous Japanese model, mother of two little child. She has such a healthy way of life between Japan and Hawaii. She's the kind of successfull women I like to look up to. Natural, nice and blooming. I love checking out her instagram and you might have seen her face before if you're already followig my IG account!

WEEKLY FAVE - LEMON DRINK, SMASHBOX LIPPIES, ABSTRACT TOP

1. Lemon Juice is definetly my go to drink recently. I love to mix it with some water so it's not so hard for my throat. Even if fall is finally here, the weather still pretty hot in south of France during the day and it's super refreshing to drink this juice during the afternoon. Plus on the morning it really helps me to wake up and has a lot of vitamin C. One advice, if you daily wake up at 6AM like me, this might be a good help.

2. I spend a lot of time watching beauty gurus on youtube, because I do think it's the best way to learn about how to correctly use make up products, to keep up with the new beauty release and to see real life swatches. My current favorite goes to the cute Emily Fox that in my opinion deserve much more subscribers. This gorgeous lady always upload very good quality swatches and make up looks that you should definetly check out! 

3. Talking about new products release, I'm dying to try the new Smashbox Be Legendary Long Wear Lip Lacquers since I saw Shaaanxo using them in one of her tutorials. The colors look simply stunning and highly pigmented and they do carry many colors in their range. I personally want to try Firecracker which is certainly the perfect glossy red I'm searching for months. A little trip to Sephora is needed I guess.

WEEKLY FAVE - UNDERGROUND, MATTE LIPS, AND BIG SCARF

1. My favorite summer read definetly goes to Underground by Haruki Murakami. He is my all time favorite author and once again I read this book in just a couple of days. To briefly sum up, this book is completly different from what I already read from Murakami. It's all about the terrorist attack in the Tokyo subway back in 1995. As I have a very special attachement to this city and its unhabitant, I felt super emotional reading the first part of this book, compiling the testimonies of various victims, knowing that 20 years laters, I was using those same subway lines that were theaters of such a tragic event. I was also curious to read the ex sect members stories. Not gonna lie, I cried, especially during one of the last testimony.  I learn more about this incident by reading this book that by reading any press article. Good job once again.

2. These Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet has been release a few months ago. I first saw them in store aroud April, but I finally got them a few weeks ago. I have three shades for the moment, a bright pink named "Pink Pong", a hot and warm red named "Hot Pepper" and the only nude shade out of the eight "Nud-ist". I am a huge fan of these lipsticks. The colors are extremely pigmented, they apply really easily and dry quite fast to a matte finish. I'm not keen on the smell but I can definetly deal with it and they stay on for hours! 

3. What's making me super excited for fall and winter (except my birthday in November and Chritmas) is definetly fashion. I love layering and I think it's way easier to dress up during the colder months. You can play with textures and stack up on accessories. Here is my last buy. A brand new checked scarf. I already have a red toned but I wanted to get my hand on a clearer version and this lovely beige one from Asos is perfection. It's huge and really soft. Must have ladies!

4. Talking about fall clothing, I've been obsessed with a few shops new collections and Zara is one of them. I'm about to order this lovely black printed blouse. I love the japonesque print, and the quality looks really nice. I think it's gonna look really nice with some fitted jeans and basic pumps. Maybe paired with a red lip for a pop of color.
