For the men in your life

Are you the last minute Christmas shopper ? I know I am. What do you get your boyfriend, dad, uncle or grandpa for Christmas, if you are the perfect procrastinator ? Perfume. In my little world, my dad is the perfect gift giving person, he's always so surprised and happy when I get him perfume, almost every year ;p Today is the 24th of December, you know the stores will be crazy but for perfume, you can always pass by your local pharmacy for a nice perfume box set. 

My top 3 choices for the men in your life.

Burberry Brit - For the man in his 20's - boyfriend, friend, brother ; the perfect sexy scent that lingers on all day. You can never go wrong with a Burberry perfume, the quality is just unmistakable.

Mont Blanc Legend - For the man in his 30's - A nice mature manly scent, perfect for dad or husband. 

Azzaro Pour Homme - For the man in his 40's - The perfect perfume for your dad, mine doesn't know yet but that's definitely part of his gift this year. 

Obviously, this is my take of these 3 classic perfumes but you can surely find so many options at your local pharmacy. 

Can you guess which one my better-half prefers ?

Happy last minute shopping !

Rock, Paper, Burberry

If you have an addictive personality, you better sit down and reassess the situation, cos it's about to get cray up in here.

Burberry Eyeshadows

(Clockwise from Top : Rosewood - Midnight Brown - Pale Barley - Mulberry - Almond)

In my opinion, the Burberry eyeshadows are by far the best eyeshadows available on the high end side of the makeup world. They are totally worth the buck. Burberry eyeshadows are like butter, but the good type of butter (if that even exists), they blend like a dream, they apply like perfection and they give you the perfect eye look. I fully blame miss Sandra from www.15stepsblog.com and her YT videos for converting me, but it's a very positive blame ;)

Rock, Paper, Burberry...

Burberry trumps all !

You MUST try them, trust me, you will not regret it.

Clarins Instant Light Base

When summer knocks on our door, I usually ad a primer to my makeup routine. 

But this time the primer hit on my door way before summer and it treated me so well, even through our harsh winter. 

I am talking about the Clarins Instant Light Radiance Boosting Complexion Base.

This product literally changed my face this winter and I am certainly going to keep up the good use this summer. All winter long, I was adding these two different colours of the Clarins Instant Light Base to dose the colour of my foundations and to add the perfect amount of glow. 

Also, a second way and the real utilisation is to apply the Clarins Instant Light Base all over your face, right before your makeup. The darker colour would immediately give me a nice bronzy halo, which would help me look alive and the lighter color was the perfect base for my foundations that are a bit more matte. Either way the Clarins Instant Light Base was and is my foundations best friend. I tried it with liquid foundation, mineral powder, tinted-moisturizer and BBcream and it always give a one man show :)

You must take a peak at these at your nearest Clarins counter !

Clarins Radiance Plus Golden Glow Booster

I found the perfect way to add a bit of summer to your daily ritual. 

If you know me, you must know that I become SO tanned in the summer it's crazy but once September/October hits up the tan leaves me so quickly. I am one that adores the sun, the feeling of heat on my skin, the gorgeous glow it enhances your face with, so I am always on the look out for the best tanning product to brighten up my harsh winters. 

I don't do tanning beds because that causes quasi automatic wrinkles to your face and I want to keep my youth as much as I can ;P. I try to keep it healthy but while still being able to fight the pasty whiteness when winter comes.

Enter the new Clarins Radiance Plus Golden Glow Booster which is basically sun in a bottle. If you have been reading my blog for a while you must know my love for the Clarins Liquid Bronze Self Tanning. This month, Clarins came up with this new invention : the Clarins Radiance Plus Golden Glow Booster Serum. Basically, this it the tan in a bottle for lazy girls (hint-hint ;p). You add 2 to 3 drops of this baby to your daily moisturizer and apply it to your face day and night. After only 3 hours you will start to notice a slight tan to your face. I promise you will not end up looking like a oompa loompa, which is the beauty of the Clarins tanning products, in my opinion. 

This product is a MUST try, even the palest person will see an effect. A definite must-try in my book for this summer !

Go check it out ;)
