The minis

In a beauty world full of primers, foundations, tinted moisturizers, mineral powders and BB creams, we admit that here at the studio, we sometimes feel a little overwhelmed when it comes to our skin. Some of us swear by liquid foundation, and others don’t let a drop near their face…

So we wanna know, what do you use? Liquid foundation, powder, tinted moisturizer? All three?

Tell us your favorites and we are going to test them out. Stay tuned for the results of… The Great…

White nails have always been a little fascination of mine. I think they look chic, clean and simple but I also think they are tricky to pull off…

(Flashback to elementary school when all of my friends and I painted our nails with Wite-Out. Sorry Mom!)

I was excited to see white polish backstage at the spring Chanel show and knew it was time I let go of those Wite-Out memories and give it a try (it made it’s debut on my hands in this DIY video)….

Drumroll…

Here is my…

I love, I love love love Game Of Thrones and if you’ve been following me for a while you might have guessed it. Everything that’s a little sci-fi or a heroic fantasy…

I love sagas, long epic stories, books that are 5kgs and that you spend your all summer reading (Mists of Avalon, aaaaah)…

The third season of Game of Thrones started on HBO last Sunday and if you haven’t heard everything about it, it certainly means you’re living under a rock, seeing how much press and ads there…

You sure know that I love Colette and you might know, I love my webmasters, those wonderful men who make all my (digital) dreams come true and with whom I’ve been working with since this blog’s inception (ok, so in the beginning I was designing it on my own but I quickly realized you can’t do everything on your own…)

When they started, when we started together, they were a team of three, and now they are a gazillion (I don’t know how many actually but it’s true that in a few…

I tell you the same thing each time, but one of the treasures of this blog are the comments. We loved your comments on my post about beauty, and you gave us some really cool quotes to keep and think about. Here is a little selection ! Thank you and big kisses my beauties !

Beauty is so subjective! My favorite quote about this comes from Jeffrey Eugenides’ Virgin Suicides, “She held herself very straight, like Audrey Hepburn, whom all women idolize and men never think about.”

You know I love mirror glasses, even thought they are a pain the biiiiiip to shoot, cause you have to be very ingenious to not photograph yourself…which I was obviously NOT the day I took that picture.

But that’s not the mirror aspect of these glasses that I want to talk about. I want to talk to you about their color and that ingenious (ahah) almost camo pattern that’s going on there.

I like it a lot, and I am not surprised !!! They’re from Prism, that really cool brand it seems…

Here is what’s happening at the Studio right now : Alex, Em and Christiana (Whoooho a new addition to our team ! We are now four !) are shooting the next DIY video, a REALLY cool t-shirt.

I am by my desk writing tomorrow’s post and seriously seeing the team working like this is too cute.

Ok, if fun things happen, I’ll let you know.

Here is our first video if you missed it !

Gardening keeps me with my two feet on the ground because in fashion we try to control everything… A fashion designer wants sunshine on a fashion show he can have it, we’ve already had rain on a fashion show. You can fake everything, but in a garden you have to obey.

My list of favorite drugstore beauty finds is about a mile long. The most recent addition: Revlon’s Just Bitten Kissable balm stain.

I was on a late night nail polish remover run when it caught my eye on the shelf. Having just run out of my everyday lip staple (Clinique’s Chubby Stick in Chunky Cherry), I thought I would give it a go. It’s super moisturizing, the color is long lasting and it’s just a little bit minty. It’s found a permanent place in my heart (and handbag).

PS:…

When it’s not attractive to a girl who’s 14 who wants to write a review on it, maybe you have to keep it in mind. It’s part of the modern times so why not?
