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!

1 Song 3 Versions #11 -- Sweet Dreams

Hello everybody !

Here I am, back with my favourite category of my own blog: 1Song3Versions!
It may seem that I am stucked in the 1980s, but no. There are obviously a lot of songs from this era that I loved, but from the previous posts of this cateory you can already notice, that I do not have a favourite music period nor a favourite music genre: love the Rock of the 1970s, the Hip-Hop of the 1990s, the pop of the 2000s ...

So today's post will be about a very famous song from the 1980s called Sweet Dreams, originally from the sooo 80s British Band Eurythmics.
Even nowadays it is to be heard everywhere in different places all over the world. The song was extremely successful in France, where almost 1 million copies were sold only in the 1983, crazy !!!

Well, let's stop with the gibber jabber and I let you discover the versions I chose to share with you guys. FYI, one version is not a simple cover, but also a sampled song.


The first version: the original from Eurythmics



The second Version: again the King of owning a cover Marilyn Manson



The third Version: Half cover half sample fron NAS


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 !

Favorite YouTube Channels #1 -- Knitting Tutorials & Paterns

When Christmas was coming I was always searching for new designs for knit work.
I am not considering myself as a good knitter, but I love knitting in winter!
And my family just enjoy my knits as Christmas gifts.
Moreover I think that DIY christmas presents are the most personal ones and shows some effort in the gift giving.

So since 5 years I offer some knitted pieces to my family for Christmas.
With the help of the following 3 Youtube Channels though, who are just my knitting saviors right now!


The first channel is IKNITS

This channel is the one of the lovely Christine from the U.S. What makes me love her channel is the variety of nice patern and design. Her designs are not only gorgeous but also very modern for women, men and kids.
I think iKNITS is the first knittin YouTube Channel I started to follow.
But it was not easy, as I learnedd the basics of knitting in French, and the system is a bit different. However, Christine is to clear and precised that I found very easily the correspondances :-)
Christine, if you read this: thanks for your sweet knitting YouTube Channel !
You can also find her on Facebook and other social networks.

The second channel is Fadinou


This channel is the Pandora's box of paterns!! She is sooo talented! The designs you can find on Fadinou's channel /blog are humongous, from the basic scarf, beanie, socks for men, women, kids, or babies to her last one (when I wrote this article) which is a ... knitted mermaid tail !!!!
It is the craziest collection of designs that I have discover online, but it is only in French.
But of course youmay have other discoveries ;-)

The third channel is Wool And The Gang

Wool and The Gang is not just a YouTube channel with knits tutorials, but also an amazing company selling paterns, quality wool, and knitting kits containing a set of knitting needles with patern and wool together.
I discover them thanks to a friend of mine - who I actually wish I could more - Virginie Peny, who is a blogger and entrepreneur in Zurich.
I learned to knit with my granny as was around 14 year old, but I really started to knit when I was in my 20s. And Wool and The Gang helped me a lot to remember the basic stitches and discover new ones.
I advise their tutorials for learning the stitches, their available in different languages!

Once in while I post some work in progress on my Instagram:

Have fun, post comments, and take care!

BACK ONLINE

Hi every one !!!


I really want to apologize for my irregularity here.

I stopped posting, because I was kind of depressed for many things that happened to me at the same time.
By the end of 2012 until July 2013:
- I lost my Job
- I got my only 10 months old Laptop stolen... VERY practical when your on a Job hunt.
- I found a new Job (yes it is better) , BUT they took Advantage of me, and made me work for very bad condition.

BUT I will stop complaining, beacause after all this mess, I did find the time to post more, because I found love.
I thought he was the one but well... He was not. C'est la Vie !

But also inbetween, I left Bavaria, and I moved to BERLIN one of my favorite City on earth - even if I did not travel so much. I love living in here.
There is so much to see, and so much to enjoy, that pushed me to get in touch with you guys again.

THEREFORE I AM BACK ONLINE.
I hope I'll post more regularly. But As usual I cannot promise a Deadlines.
Furthermore some categories will come back very soon.


Have fun reading, put some comments, I'll enjoy, AND TAKE CARE OF YOU !!!


Lots of love,
