Sisley Paris Super Soin Solaire Youth Protector & Tinted Sun Care Review, Swatch & Comparison

Would you believe, it is almost half week. I am counting backwards from four more weeks to go. The end of semester is always getting very busy. It had been a hell of a ride for the first year. I am hoping to get things settled by after mid July. I can't express enough gratitude to those who are having around. I am doing my best to hang in there too.

I had been testing the new products from Sisley's  Super Soin Solaire line. To me Sisley is a brand with few but very fine products. For instance they only have two eye shadow quads but they are both exceptional (#1 Dream is reviewed here) or they have two shades from their gorgeous L'orchidee Blush (Rose reviewed here) but they are both my most used blushes since they deliver both in terms of longevity, pigment and blendability. I am also loving their skin care, I have to admit even more than their color products. Black Rose Face Oil full stop! Nothing more to say. This is why I am very excited to share my thoughts with you today after I tested their new tinted moisturizer and sun screen, right after the jump.

Guerlain My Super Tips: Stop Spot, Super Lips, Midnight Secret, Créme SOS and Radiance in a Flash, Review

I wish you all a wonderful weekend. I have to buckle up and get ready for next week's classes since I was not able to work as much as I would like to during the Spring Break. Before I start with that I thought I would like to share my thoughts on a new skin care release by Guerlain. It is a fresh breath, a new idea. I am excited to hear what you think of it too.

Guerlain released five new skin care products, each in 15ml sizes and colorful tubes. They are aimed for a variety of issues from dry lips to spots or dull skin and each cost around 29€ in Germany. The idea making younger generation familiar with high end skin care while providing the others with handy tubes you can toss in your bag and carry around. I think the idea works in some of the products better than the others. I have been testing them for a few weeks now and here are my thoughts.

Chanel Dans La Lumière L'Été Summer Collection Nail Polishes, Review, Swatch & Comparison

I am wishing you all a wonderful Friday. Finally the problems with the search engine is solved. It had been a hell of a ride recently, which also prevented me from writing posts. I am hoping to make it up for it although until the exams week in the beginning to July, I might be slow. Thanks so much to those who are still hanging there. Big hugs for the commenters too, these make my day although I can rarely answer. I will try to get to that soon.

Chanel's Summer Collection Dans La Lumière L'Été is recently released in Germany. Each year I fell out of love with Les Beiges powders so this year I decided to skip these. I went for the eye shadow palette which I will also show you soon and of course for the nail polishes. There are five new nail polishes in their new Long Lasting formula. These are not listed as limited edition so I am guessing that they will extend the Long Lasting Le Vernis Collection. It is still not clear of the regular Le Vernis is discontinued. Here are the swatches, thoughts and comparisons of Chanel Le Vernis Long Wear Nail Color in #532 Canter,  #524 Turban, #534 Espadrilles, #536 Emeraude and #526 Cavaliere.

Suqqu Summer 2016 Eye & Cheek Color Compacts, Color Balm Crayons, Review, Swatch & FOTD

The past week has been a roller coaster on blog front. About two weeks ago my slider stopped working so I contacted the designer. She told me that there is a new version of the theme which I installed but during the new installation a few things went wrong. Long story short not only Google Analytics code was missing but somehow Google took my blog out of their search engine. I recognized the problem thanks to a lovely reader who let me know at Instagram. This was why my page counts were taking a hit. I think I located the problem (robots.txt file) but it might take up to a week for the search engines to index it properly. Let's hope for the best.

Suqqu is releasing their world wide Summer 2016 Collection this week. The release date was given to be today but I haven't seen the products on Selfridges online shop yet. The collection consists of two Eye & Cheek Color Compacts, Ex-01 Rikkakou and Ex-02 Natsuyuuka, two matching lipsticks in crayon format, called Color Balm Crayons Ex-01 Suzubeni and Ex-02 Tsuyasango. There are also two matching nail polishes. The collection goes with a cool pink theme on one hand and a warmer green theme on the other. It is inspired by Awaseiro, traditional color combinations for Kimonos. without further ado, here are my thoughts on the products I have been testing.

Narciso Poudrée Eau de Parfum For Woman, Review

Happy hump day. I can't believe the week is almost over. Contrary to many of you, I'd rather have it longer since I don't have lectures this week. Ah, good times are soon over. The problems on blog front goes on. I would like to write again, in case you are having any problems seeing the content please let me know.

Recently Narciso Rodriguez added a third fragrance to Narciso line. I have previously reviewed Narciso EdP here and Narciso EdT here. The former being gardenia&rose and the latter peony take on to the signature musky heart. The new fragrance Narciso Poudrée Eau de Parfum is yet an interesting creation. It has to be my favourite among the three. So much for spoilers, onto the thoughts...

MAC Vibe Tribe Collection, My Picks, Review, Swatch & FOTD

I hope your week started wonderfully. This week we have a so called Spring Holiday, hence no lectures. I am using it to prepare the rest of the lectures I have until the end of June. This year has been so hectic, I feel like I already deserve a summer holiday!

By the way for those of you who carefully observed that some things have changed on the blog front, you are right. I was using a slider, one that showed some photos of the recent posts on the top of the page, then it started not working so I contacted the designer. She offered me that I install the new version of the theme but I lost all my fonts and the slider has some problems at the moment. Also the page counts dropped dramatically since I changed to the new look. I am not sure if it is because of people not being able to see it properly and close it? If you are having problems with this one please let me know and I will check that out.

Let's get back to make up. Today I would like to show you my picks from MAC's main summer collection Vibe Tribe. I am usually not big on summer collections but I think within MAC limited collections, summer had always been an highlight for me. Last Year's Wash & Dry Collection (reviewed here and here) as well as legendary Alluring Aquatic Collection (here and here) were all summer collections after all. All in all I found this year's collection a bit of a let down once compared to the last two years but there were still gems in there. Here are my thoughts about the pieces I picked up.

Tom Ford Soleil Collection for Summer 2016, My Picks, Review, Swatch & FOTD

I hope you are all doing fine. I am so glad to be able to make it to this week since next week I will have a week off the lectures. This semester have been very busy so if you are still hanging around, I am very grateful about it *big hugs*. On top of all that came extra stress about a (good!) citizen being too sensitive about someone driving over red by mistake on a perfectly empty night traffic. 

I am so positive and happy about the week off that I want to share pretty things with you today. I have been enjoying my picks from Tom Ford Summer Collection for the last two weeks. I almost explicitly used products from this collection recently so I believe if you are still pondering about what to get, this might be of help. I have Bicoastal Sheer Cheek Duo, The Afternooner Contouring Compact, Ultra Rick Lip Colors in Aphrodite, Purple Noon and Temptation Waits as well as Blanc Soleil Eau de Perfume. Without further ado, here are my thoughts...

Chanel Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colour, Nudes & Vamps, Review, Swatch & Comparisons

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I have been silent lately, due to circumstances I explained during the last post, I didn't feel like writing something cheerful. In between I came to terms with being very tired and not seeing a red light. People are not machines but the system should be able to ignore exceptions. I drive since years and I hardly have speed ticket. Unfortunately for some people rules are more important than anything else. I will close this subject here and then. I have never been a soldier of rules *sigh*.

Chanel recently released ten new shades with a new formula called Chanel Le Vernis Longwear Nail Colour. I swatched and compared the pinks and the reds here. Today I would like to share my thoughts about the nudes and the vamps. The shades I am going to show you are: #504 Organdi, #514 Roubachka, #516 Mariniére, #522 Monochrome, #520 Garçonne.

Hugo Boss Woman Extreme, Man Extreme Eau de Parfum, Review

I hope your weekend and the start of the week was better than mine. I had a big shock on the weekend as I received a mail with a remark that they are taking away my drivers license for a month because some stupid guy on the street decided to call the police for me violating a red light and later on insisted to press charge against me. I am a super careful driver who drive actively over ten years and has no record of any charges, yet one person's word seem to be enough for taking away my license? If I get a lawyer, I have to pay around a thousand bucks on top of that. I am without words for how the system works *shakes head* and I have no memory of violating anything! 

So you know why I was so silent once again on the weekend. Today I am back with two new releases. Hugo Boss revamped their signature perfumes, both female and male version. I have to admit that I used the male version of this for a few months after a friend left it to me when she was returning back to her country. I love the original Hugo Boss Man EdP.  Here are my thoughts on the Extreme versions.
