Favorite of the week: Essence "I Love Extreme" mascara

I am currently loving Essence "I love Extreme" mascara... it gives so much volume to the lashes, it is just incredible. And the price is so low that you won't believe it's true... ! It has definitely become one of my favorite mascaras of all times. Actually, Essence has a pretty good range of mascaras. 

Just be careful, the brush is quite big, so if you are not used to a big brush, you might need to be careful during your first applications. 

One only advice: if you do not have it yet, get it!!!!!!!! It is only 140 THB (or 3EUR, or 4USD)!

You can find Essence products in Bangkok at Eveandboy and some Boots stores.

Favorite of the week: Batiste dry shampoo

If, like me, you do not wash your hair everyday (and by the way, you should really not...), then there is a high chance that dry shampoos become your best friends. It will give your hair a clean fresh look.... and more texture.

Batiste dry shampoos come in a variety of fragrances. I recommend them all, they all smell really good.

Application tip: Shake the bottle very well before each spray, spray 20cm away from your hair...so you will not have a white film on your hair.

For those living in Thailand, it is available at Watsons.
You can also find it on Amazon.com

Favorite of the week: Real Techniques makeup brushes

You still do not know Real Techniques makeup brushes owned by YouTube guru Samantha Chapman? Then if you like to use brushes for your makeup, but do not want to spend hundreds of dollars in a collection, do not hesitate one second: those brushes are high quality & inexpensive (around 10$ per brush).
Theses brushes are simply fantastic.

They are available online on many websites. Check here: Where to buy Real Techniques?
For those living in Thailand, they are sold in many small stores, including Beauty Terminal (3/F Terminal 21)

Also, don't forget to check Samantha Chapman You Tube channel (with her sister), it is simply amazing: Pixiwoo channel

Favorite of the week: Paula's Choice Resist creams range with retinol

Paula's Choice is the brand of the beauty editor Paula Begoun, who is the one who says "Hey, look at what's inside a product before buying it!". She has created her own brand, with fabulous ranges of skin care and makeup, and affordable prices for this quality.

I just realized that I should start to prevent aging on my skin early, before my 30's. I am now using a serum and a moisturizer with retinol, from Paula's Choice Resist. 

I apply the serum every night before my night cream, and the moisturizer every morning before my makeup. It leaves my skin so soft & supple. I also use the serum as an eye cream, and it works great! I can already notice I have less fine lines around my eyes.

You can buy her products online from anywhere on hewr official website http://www.paulaschoice.com

(And her website is full of beauty advice, I highly recommend it!)

For those living in Thailand, I recommend to check www.beauty-choices.com

I also totally recommend her book, giving her opinion on all products of major beauty brands: 'Don't go to the cosmetics counter without me.'

And.. Paula's Choice = no testing on animals!

Favorite of the week: L'Oreal Color Riche Le Vernis

Few months ago, I tried L'Oreal Color Riche nail polishes... and they became my favorite nail polishes of all time, even far beyond OPI, Zoya or Essie.

The brush is simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. It is very large and in one or two swipes, you are done with your nail. 

The staying power is very good too. I keep the color on around 4-5 days easily. 

I also really love that it is a very small bottle, as I never finish my nail polishes pots otherwise. And... mini bottle also comes with mini-price :))) 

One advice: go try it ! There are plenty of shades !

Favorite of the week: Color Change BB Cream

Every week I'm gonna share with you my favorite product.

This week's favorite is the "Color Change" BB Cream from Welcos - a Korean brand. It exists in only one shade (so you can be sure you won't spend 2 hours making sure you pick up the right one)...and it comes out green! Then it adapts to your skin colour when you put it on...
It has light to  medium coverage., which for me is perfect to go work and have a natural and fresh finish. It is very light weight, and so smooth to apply. It is also SPF 25.
Probably my new everyday favorite :)

If you leave in Thailand, you can find it at Boots or from time to time on Konvy.com. Welcos also has other types of BB Cream that are outstanding!
If you do not leave in Asia and would like to buy this cream, message me on my Facebook page Facebook-Beautilista

Beautiful with YOGA

There are hundreds of reasons that each of us could find to practice yoga. Practicing yoga not only gives you strength & flexibility (and help you burn these bad bad bad calories...;-), it also improves your mental focus, reduces stress and tensions (especially after a tough day of work in front of your computer). 

In summary, yoga will just make you feel good, in your body and in your mind (it included a nice body on the beach next summer, yes)

For me, I am also stimulated by the challenge to achieve all these crazy poses:

Riri Hearts MAC Fall collection... pick wisely!

MAC Cosmetics just launched its new Riri collection, designed by Rihanna. Many items are actually from the regular collection. The lipsticks shades are quite fun, but not easy to wear for light colour skins. The only reason that would make me invest? The golden rose packaging maybe... F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S
