If you could take a peek into my bathroom you would find a lot of hair products for sure. This one, in this cute magenta bottle, is the curl shaping mousse from Avon’s Advance Techniques line. Its label says: “This long lasting hold Mousse boosts curls and waves with shape and hold, leaving them revitalized, defined and beautifully bouncy.“ This is what we want to hear from a curling product and this is what we’d love to see! Avon Advance Techniques curl shaping mousse First of all, this is a mousse that works on wavy or curly hair and, indeed it seems to enhance the natural hair shape. Even if…

NOTD: Vixen’s skittles manicure
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. Which nail polish or manicure should I choose for a woman like that? A red, a taupe? None of these! I’ve rummaged through my collection and I’ve put together particular colours for an equally particular skittles. I’ve mixed and matched more neutral and warm tones, all with different finishes. The result was a quite autumnal skittles manicure. The nail polishes used in this post are: – Avon, Golden Wine: vivid red, shimmer; – Avon, Noir Emeald: emerald green, metallic; – Avon, Naked…

My cold seasons skin care routine for combination skin
I’ve often mentioned on this blog that my skin is combination and dries quite easily, but how do I take care of it? 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 used the Avon Care 3 in 1 cleanser with aloe and ginger and, as it has finished, I used the Solutions Hydra Radiance refreshing cleansing gel (disc.). The second step is the toner, I’m still using every day the Dermolab…

Avon Naturals – strawberry & guava body spray
There’s a little discovery I want to show you: it’s the strawberry and guava body spray from the Avon Naturals line. I’ve loved this scent since the first time I smelled this fruits combination and I think it can be a nice substitute for eau de toilette and other perfumes during spring and summer.This body spray has nice, fruity and sweet notes, it starts with a predominant strawberry note with just a hint of the exotic scent given by the guava. After a while the guava sensation comes out and it’s a real delight! I think it’s perfect for daytime and for everyone who loves fun and flirty scents. I…

NOTD: dipped into gold
A few days ago, during a boring afternoon, I decided to do my manicure. I opted for a very dark nail polish, I choose an intense plum from the First Lady line, it’s the number 24 and it isn’t in the Italian market yet. So, yes it’s a sneak peek! I applied two thin coats, once dried, I applied a golden glittery top coat with 1mm hexagonal and small round glitters, the Avon Color Trend “Gold Flecked”, from the tip of the nail to half lenght. Again I let the nail polish to air dry and then I applied two coats of a super cheap glitter top coat I have…
