Voyages dans la lune

Rimmel Stay Matte is perfect for setting concealer without looking cakey. It also smells nice which may not be the first thing you're looking for in a powder but is still appreciated. I like using the transparent one. I mostly use Bronze Goddess to bronze up my face and Diorskin to do a little bit of contouring. (the lighting in the pic makes Bronze Goddess look very orange but let me reassure you, it's actually brown in real life). Both these bronzers are fantastic and give a really beautiful finish. Bronze Goddess is massive and has got a big mirror and I think it's definitely worth the price. This MAC highlighter is a very new addition to my collection but it's made it straight into my favorite products the first time I tried it on in the store. It's got a very nice shimmer to it without making you look crazy sparkly.



As much as I enjoy doing a dark smokey eye on someone else, I personally mostly go for golden nudes, pinks and glitters. First of all, I'm very impressed with the Maybelline palette. It's got 6 matte colors and 6 shimmery colors and there's plenty of different looks you can create with it. They also blend nicely so yes, I think it's a great palette for a very affordable price. The Dior palette is fantastic; although I don't usually wear a lot of purple and green, they go very beautifully with these gorgeous pinks and the nude grey. Sometimes, I even use the darkest pink on my lips. I very rarely put blusher on but I use my Bourjois has an eyeshadow because it is the most beautiful vintage old baby pink. It's not massively pigmented obviously, because it is a blusher, but you can definitely build it up. Urban Decay Space Cowboy isn't only great because of its name. It's a beautiful champagne glitter that can be used on its own or on top of another eyeshadow (and because I love experimenting, I sometimes even use it as a highlighter). It's not very pigmented because it's mostly glitter, the color is quite subtle. I LOVE pairing it with a dark berry lip (and I always apply it with my finger). Maybelline color tattoo eyeshadow is a beautiful creamy rose gold, I love the color and the texture. And finally, there's my MAC pigment pot. As you can guess, it is ultra pigmented and you can experiment so much with it. I mostly use it as an eyeshadow but I've also tried a couple of "arty" "futuristic" looks where I put it on the brows and the lips. The color is absolutely gorgeous. You only want to put a little bit of pigment on your brush through and slowly build it up or it may end up a disaster. I'm definitely going to buy more pigments from MAC because their colors are simply stunning.

I just realized I forgot to take a close up pic of the Rimmel Brow This Way eyebrow kit. I love it because it's got a wax and a powder in it and it makes my eyebrows look defined but natural which is super important for me because I like strong eyebrows but I hate it when they look fake and over lined. 

La poudre Rimmel est parfaite pour faire tenir le correcteur sans donner un effet surchargé. Je me sers de la transparente puisque je l'applique surtout sur la zone T, que j'aime laisser assez lumineuse. La plupart du temps je dore mon visage avec Bronze Goddess et je fais un peu de contouring avec Diorskin (Bronze Goddess à l'air orange sur la photo à cause de l'éclairage mais je vous assure que ce n'est pas le cas). J'adore ces deux bronzers qui permettent de donner couleur et définition au visage tout en ayant un rendu très naturel. Le pot Estée Lauder est vraiment énorme, ce qui fait que c'est un bon investissement. Enfin, le highlighter MAC est une des dernières additions à ma collection et je dois dire que j'en suis plus que ravie. Il a un côté très éclatant qui est vraiment magnifique sur les pommettes sans transformer le visage en boule à facettes.




Même si j'aime beaucoup faire des smokey eyes sur les autres, quand il s'agit de mon maquillage je préfère un look beaucoup plus neutre. J'aime beaucoup les dorées, rosés et pailletés. Tout d'abord, j'aime beaucoup la palette Maybelline. ll y 6 fards matte et 6 fards brillants, ce qui donne pleins de possibilités de looks différents. Les couleurs sont faciles à travailler et je trouve que c'est une très bonne palette pour ce prix. La palette Dior est fantastique. Normalement, je porte très peu de violet et de vert mais ils vont parfaitement bien avec les trois autres couleurs et ils restent très pastels sur les paupières, j'aime beaucoup. Parfois je me sers du rose le plus foncé sur les lèvres. Je ne porte pratiquement jamais de blush mais j'utilise ce Bourjois comme fard parce-que c'est un superbe vieux rose que je n'avais jamais vu ailleurs. évidement, il n'est pas très pigmenté puisque c'est un blush mais il fonctionne très bien avec plusieurs couches. Le fard Urban Decay n'est pas génial seulement à cause de son nom. C'est un champagne pailleté qu'on peut utiliser seul ou par dessus un autre fard (pour des occasions spéciales je l'utilise aussi comme highlighter). La couleur n'est pas très pigmentée puisque c'est surtout un fard pailleté mais le champagne ressort après plusieurs couches. J'applique toujours ce fard au doigt et je le porte avec un rouge à lèvres très foncé. Maybelline color tattoo est un très joli rose doré à texture crémeuse que j'applique également au doigt. Et enfin, le  pigment MAC. Comme vous pouvez vous en doutez, il est ultra pigmenté et il y a tellement de choses à essayer avec ! Je l'utilise souvent comme fard à paupières mais j'ai aussi essayé quelques looks plus arty et futuriste où je l'utilisais sur les sourcils et les lèvres. La couleur est absolument magnifique. Il suffit d'une toute petite quantité de produit sur le pinceau sinon ça peut être la catastrophe assez vite. Toutes les couleurs de cette collection de pigments sont absolument magnifiques, je pense en acheter d'autres dans les prochains mois.

Hello everyone, 

 

One of the reasons I've started doing this blog is that I am a big makeup and beauty lover and I wanted my own little place on the internet to talk about my favorite products and maybe also share some tutorials. This is going to be my random and beauty autumn favorites; and I am going to post again tomorrow about the makeup products that I have been loving recently.

I hope you like this post and hopefully it gives you some inspo :)

love xx 

Random :

Diptyque Feu De Bois Candle (45€. quite pricey for a candle but it actually burns for a long time). Perfect for cosy autumn/winter evenings (I've grown up in a wooden house with a big wood stove so I always go for the scents that remind me of it). I also like the cinnamon and spices candles. 

Villoid : co-created by Alexa Chung. This is my favorite app ever. It's been on my phone since the day it was available for download on iTunes and since then it hasn't been a long time without me playing on it. What you do, basically, is create "boards" or outifts, out of a large selection of luxury brands. As a fashion and art lover, it is such a wonderful place for me to be creative. I only wish I could actually press that "buy" button on my favorite items (cc Givenchy glitter trainers, Gianvito Rossi velvet boots collection, Saint Laurent pretty-much-everything etc). There's a lot of brands missing but you can definitely have lots of fun on there (and if you desperately want to use an item that is not in Villoid's database you can always google and post a picture). So yeah, I LOVE this app because if I can't have the perfect wardrobe irl, at least I have it on a virtual platform. Go and check my boards at lucyhrlx if you're interested and let me know if you have a Villoid account so I can follow you as well :)

This is not a product but a « fashion fact ». One thing I am loving at the moment is that fashion is more exciting than ever. I have always been obsessed with the 80s style and looking for as many « spacey », glittery, retro things as I could find in the shops. And this year, fashion and I finally seem to be on the same page. I was in Galeries Lafayette Haussman two weeks ago and I thought it was more exciting than ever. (cosy jumper , the-where-have-you-been-all-my-life-jacket etc. not talking much more about fashion because I'll be posting look books and inspo lists soon)

Lush Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar : Because I love pumpkins and glitter and glittery pumpkins. And it smells nice. I bought a couple when I went to Lush last month because I think they only have it for Halloween. But Lush has an amazing range of bath bombs and bars and they already have the Christmas collection in store. (Tip: half a bar is enough for one bath !) 

Le Dernier Bar Avant La Fin Du Monde. I realize it's kinda weird to have a bar in my autumn beauty/fashion favorites but I do what I want :) My friends and I go there for a drink and meal basically everytime I am in Paris. If you like science-fiction, fantasy, board games and food, this is the place for you. They have a room which is quite cosy on the first floor and a spaceship themed room downstairs. They name all their food and drinks after pop culture icons so you can ask for Captain Picard's Earl Grey, the Tardis or the "Bruschette Mario". And the staff is super lovely ! (Also I think with all the recent events, places like this are so important). 

And one last random thing I love about this time of the year is that we are getting closer to Christmas which means it's (more) socially acceptable to listen to Christmas playlists and wear big cosy Christmas jumpers. 

Beauty:

St Tropez Fake Tan Mousse (Dark) : I've always been extremely pale to a point I tend to sparkle when the sun comes out. I've always been 100% okay with it and the fact that most people would ask if I ever go out every time they see me has never really bothered me. But this summer for the time of my life I actually managed to get a nice golden tan and now I don't really want to look transparent anymore. You definitely need some practice but it does give a very natural finish. Do : prep your skin the day before by exfoliating it and moisturize your dry areas before applying the product. I would also definitely recommend using an application mitt if you don't want to end up looking like a zebra. Reapply ever 5 days and moisturize your skin every day for a better finish and long lasting effect. 

Couvent Des Minimes Gardener's Hand Healer Hand Cream. Although my hands get pretty dry, I am not a huge fans of hand creams as they're often quite oily and they tend to make everything I touch feel «gross». But this one is actually really good and I absolutely love it. It's very hydrating but doesn't feel heavy on the skin and it smells fan-tas-tic (and also, not that it's very important for a beauty product but the packaging is great). I've repurchased this hand cream many times.

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser. Best. Cleanser. Ever. The texture is amazing, it removes residue gently and it is not drying. I use it first thing in the morning and at the end of the day after taking my makeup off with my Nivea makeup remover. It feels incredible on the skin and you just need a small amount. I have tried many cleansers including high end such a Dior but none of them was as good for me as this one.

Couvent Des Minimes Complete Moisturizing Fluid. My skin needs attention but isn't particularly dry. I love moisturizers that don't feel too heavy on the skin and this one is perfect for me. I love the texture and the rosy smell. 

Nivea Creme. The 3€ one in the big blue pot. Look, I have tried a whole lot of high end incredibly expensive face creams such as Chanel, Estee Lauder and Clarins and I have finally gone back to the good old Nivea Cream that I used when I was little because it is the best one. I couldn't use it in the morning because it's too heavy and would make my skin look oily but I apply it on my face every single night and it makes a huge difference. I recommend it to everyone.

Couvent Des Minimes Smile Lip Balm. Although my skin isn't particularly dry, my lips are. Something I learned from a beauty expert not long along is that it is very important to exfoliate the lips to remove the dry, dead skin. I do it with my toothbrush and then apply a generous amount of this lip balm and my lips feel smooth in the morning ! 

Aussie Miracle dry Shampoo Aussome Volume. One of the dry shampoos that won't make your hair look dusty and grey. It also smells really nice (all Aussie hair products do to be honest). A life savior on many occasions.

Tangle Teezer . YouTubers and bloggers have been talking about this brush for ages but I only got mine this summer and I must admit I absolutely love it. 

Dove Hair Therapy Shampoo. I used to buy expensive shampoo such as Shu Uemura and this one is not any less good. It does a fantastic job and keep my hair healthy and shiny for 10 times less money. Love Dove. 

Bumble and Bumble surf infusion : Having straight but weirdly wavy hair I have tried a lot of sea salt sprays and this one is my absolute favorite. Although its potential isn't fully used on me because, as I said, my hair is weird, it gives me nice waves without being drying. I use it on my sister who's got curly hair and it makes her curls so much more defined and beautiful. I also used it for work and our actress was so impressed with it. Q pricey though for a spray... but it's the holy grail of curly/wavy hair. 

Bonsoir tout le monde !

Une des raisons pour lesquelles je voulais ouvrir un blog c'est que je suis une grande fan de maquillage et autres produits beautés. J'ai pour projet de faire une école de makeup artist après ma licence, pour travailler pour le cinéma, le théâtre, la mode et la TV. Je voulais mon propre petit coin de "l'internet" pour partager mes produits favoris et probablement quelques tutos. Dans cet article je vous parle de mes produis favoris de la saison, produits en tout genre et beauté. Je posterai un autre article demain sur les produits de maquillage que j'utilise le plus en ce moment, comme il y en a un certain nombre, je ne pouvais pas tout mettre dans le même article.

J'espère que vous aimerez cet article et que vous y trouverez quelques idées :) 

A demain xx
