Rococo Nail Polish - Peaches

This spring is all about nail polishes for me. I've been browsing the new collections for ages now, and I have to say that the best pieces I've seen so far all belong to the polish ranges. I know it sounds quite stupid, but a nice nail polish always cheers me up during these gloomy days, and makes me want real spring to come as quick as possible!
I am quite "conservative" beauty-wise, and my nail polish choice was always either black or red, with no particular experimentig or extravaganzas. But this year, I'm eager to try new colors - at least, new to me. So when I was browsing Rococo nail polishes in my local Space NK, undecided between a taupe - browny shade and a lively peach coral, I finally decided to start a new deal in my nails life.

YSL Rouge Pur Couture - Glossy Stain


The other day I stopped at a YSL counter to take a look at their lipsticks, and because deep inside of me I was hoping to find the perfect coraly/peachy shade to suit my hyper-pigmented lips. The lady at the counter tried a couple of the Rouge Voluptee lipsticks on me, and as always, the effect was that of a zombie girl.
Finally - exhausted by the unsuccesfull results - she showed me their newest release in term of lip products - the Glossy Stains.


I've seen quite a lot of blog posts on these products, but never felt intrigued by them. As always, I was wrong. (Seems that the least something appeals me, the most I like it in the end).

Chanel Inimitable Intense Mascara


I purchased Chanel Inimitable Intense last summer, while I was in Croatia for a vacation (lovely, sunny times indeed).



First of all, I’ve got to warn you: this mascara has a plastic wound. Many Youtubers and bloggers I follow hate these types of wounds, but personally I find they’re the best for my lashes. [Quick description: my lashes are extremely light-colored, unbelievably fine and annoyingly short.]

Back to Chanel. I love this mascara because, with the spiky tiny bristles, it’s able to grab my lashes, define them and give them a nice curl. I don’t mind the slightly ‘spidery’ effect you can achieve with a couple of coats of Inimitable Intense.

Being the wound quite small, I find rather easy to work with it without blobbing all over the place (it usually happens to me when I try to use big chunky wounds, like Diorshow’s, just to cite one).
