1 Song 3 Versions #12 -- Caruso

Hello everyone!

Today is the come back of my favourite category, it's time for 1 Song 3 Versions !!!
If you are a new reader, you may not know that I love music. I cannot even understand people who do not listen to music as I am always playing music all the time. For each situation of my life, there is the fitting soundtrack: classical music when I need to be focussed, jazz music when I read a book, Justin Timberlake (check my posts, I am a very huge fan of him) when I have a lack of motivation, electro-lounge when having a dinner party, etc.

The song that I chose for this 12th 1S3V post is a classical song of the 1980s, which was exactly launched in 1986. To be honest, and for the first time, I knew a cover before the original version. The thing is that this song have been covered so many times, that it is difficult to know: Andrea Bocelli, Lara Fabian, Julio Iglesias, Luciano Pavarotti, etc.

Men and women covered this beautiful son, but I prefer the covers with a male voice, I don't even know why. And I present you 3 male voice versions of course.


The first Version: Original from Lucio Della


Like I told you, it is not the first version of Caruso that I discovered, but it is my second favourite one. Lucio Della was the singer song-writter, he unfortunately passed away, and let a gorgeous song to the music world!


The second Version: my favourite French Male Voice Florent Pagny


This is the version of Caruso that I firstly discovered. Florent Pagny is for me the most amazing male voice of France, even if I am not a big fan of his songs. Nevertheless, his Caruso cover is wonderful!


The third Version: from classical singer Josh Groban


A very important point about this song, is that it cannot be sang from anyone, if the singer has no singing technique, it is impossible to perform Caruso. Therefore it was not a challenge for Josh Groban who originally is a classic singer. He just nailed it !

I hope you had fun discovering / rediscovering the song or another version of the the song!

Please do not hesitate to share your impressions with me.

Love and take care guys !

Review Cosmeto -- Makeup Removers

Hello everyone!

I think that I never said here that I a big fan of makeup. It is for me a kind of art, a kind of painting... but on my face most of the time, and sometimes on my friends. I am not a makeup artist, but I am not bad at it. I love how it can embellish a person.
I hope to post you very soon what I have done with the help, once in a while of makeup tutorials that I find on YouTube. I will as well post about my favorite Makeup / Beauty channels.

But there is no makeup without a good makeup remover, and following are my favourites of all time!


First: TAKE THE DAY OFF CLEANSING BALM from Clinique



This balm of Clinique is not the cheapest for sure, but very efficient. This is a balm that transforms into oil once you rubbed it, and has not perfume, which is very good for sensitive skins. After you just need to rubb it on your face for 2 or 3 minutes and everything is gone and let your face healthy. Moreover this efficieny is measured by Me (hihihi) by the possibility of removing easily waterproof mascara and Sephora Cream Lip Stains (love them but hard to get off).

Available on the Clinique website of course.


Second: CAMOMILE SUMPTUOUS CLEANSING BUTTER AND OIL from The Body Shop



Those 2 makeup removers from The Body Shop are my second favorites. They have the same usage as the balm of Clinique. The Butter when rubbed transforms into oil. After you just need to rubb it on your face for 2 or 3 minutes and everything is gone and let your face healthy. It removes also any vestige of makeup, from waterproof mascara to any longstay matte liquid lip stain, just like the cleansing oil.
The only differences for me between those 2 are: the form and thus packaging, and I notice that I used much more than needed when it is the butter.

Available on the Body Shop E-shop and shops worldwide.


Third: PURETÉ THERMALE 3in1 One step cleanser from Vichy



This makeup remover is a cleansing milk, which means that it requires cotton pads. I had thiss giant edition as a present, and I really like. This product from Vichy does a good job, but waterproof mascara is still a obstacle for its efficiency. Nevertheless the skin gains the most moisterizing effect thanks too this cleasing milk.

Available in pharmacies worldwide.

For a deeper description you have the Vichy Website available in different languages.


To conlude, I prefer the Camomile Sumpteous Cleansing Oil from The Body Shop from all of the presented makeup removers. With the pump I use exactly the quantity that I need, with the same efficiency. As I do not apply makeup everyday I had the bottle-pump for around 5 mmonths !!!
Another factor is the hygiene, you never need to open the container, unlike the balm and the butter, and like the cleansing milk of Vichy less external particules can get into the products. And last factor- sorry but for me not the most important one- it is a more ecological removal of makeup, as it does not require extra (cotton) pads.


I hope this article could have informed, helped or guided you, if needed.
Have fun, post comments, and take care!

Lots of Love!
