Macadamia Natural Oil Shampoo and Mask REVIEW

[ITA] (to read the English version scroll down!)

Ciao a tutti, oggi vi racconto della mia esperienza con i prodotti Macadamia.
Come sarà successo a molti di voi, ne ho sentito parlare su YT. Quando al Cosmoprof mi sono trovata davanti al loro stand, spinta dalla curiosità... non ho potuto fare a meno di comprare qualcosa

Ho preso quindi shampoo maschera e olio.

Qui vi parlo in modo specifico di shampoo e maschera, che ho usato molto dalla seconda settimana di marzo fino ad oggi!

March Beauty Favourites

  
Here's a overview of all the products I'm going to write about!

-YSL lipstick "Rouge Volupté" in 02 Blond Sensuel

This month I've rediscovered NUDE LIPS! Since my skintone is extremely fair and it has a neutral/pink undertone, I've struggled finding the right nude lip color for me!
I wore this YSL lipstick  quite often at night, applying it first, directly from the stick, then blending it tapping it with my fingers. To avoid the terrible "dead" effect, I like to top it with a clear/slightly rose lipgloss!

Make up storage: Bedroom Edition

Hello Girls,
today I'll show you how I store make up in my room. 
At the beginning of my love story with make up, I tended to keep everything in the bathroom (I know it isn't the best place for storing make up but I didn't have a choice).
Even if my collection it's still pretty small, I haven't enough space in my bathroom now; that's why I started to move something to the bedroom. Firstly nail polished, then lip stuff!



I organized this area with some Ikea drawers.
Starting with the left side...

In the big bottom drawer I keep the most worn nail polishes, i.e. the ones that I've worn the most in the last six months.

I ♥ Spring TAG!

I love tag videos and blogposts, I saw Ingrid's (MissGlamorazzi) video first, then Fleur's video and I decided to write my post!

These are the questions, let's begin straight away!

1. Favorite spring nail polish?
For the third spring in a row the winner is... Chanel Nouvelle Vague. I know, I'm a boring nail polish person, but I can't help it. Perfect tiffany shade!




Today I'm wearing this pretty colour by Essence, 108 Ultimate Pink.



2. What is your must-have lip color this spring?
I love brights but I don't feel very comfortable wearing them during daytime. That's why I've chosen this sheer hot pink lipstick from Kiko.



3. Show us your favorite spring dress!
I'm not in the spring mood yet since here in Milan it's still pretty wintery outside. Anyways, I'll show you my favourite dress from last spring! I got it for my sister's wedding.

NOTD #1 - China Glaze Midtown Magic

[ITA] Ecco il nuovo smalto China Glaze in azione. Spero riusciate a cogliere l'effetto dei microglitter, lo adoro! L'applicazione è facile dato che il prodotto ha perfetta densità. Qualità China Glaze confermata anche con questo smalto.

Ho finito con un top coat trasparente, solo per fare in modo che mi duri di più.

[EN] Here's my new nail polish by China Glaze in action, enjoy!
Hope you can see the gorgeous sparkles in it.
The application goes smoothly like with every Chine Glaze nail polish I've tried until now. I topped it with a clear top coat, just to make it last longer.

[EN] In this post I'm showing you everything I got at Cosmoprof last Sunday! I'm very proud of my haul, I got the products I wanted at reasonable prices!

February Beauty Favourites part 1: Nails



[EN]
1) Nail polish remover specific for dark colours, Miss Broadway
I went through a whole bottle last month, this is my second one and I'm super satisfied!

These are the two colour I wore last month, nothing else. 
2) Mi-Ny nail polish "Childlike". I've been obsessed with this lovely purple.
3) Mi-Ny nail polish "Charm". I've definetely a red nail polish girl, I love it in every occasion. Well, this is my go-to red, perfect shade.

I've already told you about the AMAZING quality of these nail polishes, you have to try them!

Cosmoprof 2013 Bologna: Cosa non potete perdervi!

Il Cosmoprof è un appuntamento da non perdere se amate le novità nel campo della cosmetica e dell'estetica.
Non lavorando nel settore, il mio principale scopo quest'anno era quello di portare a casa prodotti a prezzo scontato (magari cose che in Italia non si trovano, o non si trovano facilmente) e curiosare tra le nuove proposte!



Ecco un elenco degli stand di cui sono rimasta più soddisfatta, insomma quelli che, secondo me, proprio non potete perdervi  (in ordine di importanza!):

Packing: My Beauty Essentials

Hi everyone!
Snowy day today in Milan!
Since I'm leaving tomorrow for a couple of day at the mountains, I'll show you what I'm bringing with me.
When packing beauty stuff, I like to narrow down to a very few pieces, the essential ones.
I try to pick the most compact item I own to avoid any breakage and damages.

Nail Polishes: My top 4 Reds

Hi everybody!

Today I want to show you my favourites red nail polishes.
Red is my go-to colour for special occasions, school, anything. It suits any outfit and is an evergreen. You can't go wrong with a nice red. 
Although my very pale skintone does not allow me to wear any kind of red shade...
That's why I came up with this top 4.

January Beauty Favourites


Monthly favourites are a must for both beauty bloggers and beauty addicts. It's something I go through every month, I like to see what everyone's raving about.
It's something that influences me A LOT when it comes to buy something new. 
That's why my purpose is to be completely honest and careful. I guarantee you that all the products that will be listed have been tested (by me of course) for a reasonable period of time, which enables me to tell you whether it's GOOD stuff or not. That reasonable period of time could be two weeks for a lipstick, but probably one or two months for a foundation. 

Ok, let's see what I've been loving this month!
