Easy Peasy Vixen Skittles Nail Art Inspo
Thanks to an old China Glaze collection, I’ve wondered how could I define a vixen. A temptress, a “malicious woman with a fierce temperament’, according to the online dictionaries.

This is the skin care routine that I’ve followed throughout the autumn, winter and until the cold was all around us. What a mess! My skin care routine for the cold seasons. In the morning and in the evening, I always clean my face: during the cold seasons I use the Avon Care 3 in 1 cleanser with aloe and ginger and, as it finishes, I use the Solutions Hydra Radiance refreshing cleansing gel (disc.). The second step is the toner, I’m still using every day…
