<div style="text-align: center;">
Winter collections always centers around glitter and rich hues. I for one, wouldn't have it any other way. I much prefer dark shades to pastels. Always have.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's start with nails (my current beauty obsession). The Folk Passion collection includes 5 mini bottles: 3 creamy shades and 2 glitter top coats. The cream lacquers are 2-coaters when wearing them alone. You can get away with one coat if you topped them with a top coat. Truly a fun little "kit" to have on hand!</div>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
My favourite combination is Peacock Blue topped with Silver Shine Glitter (pic below). Perfect party nails! And quick...one coat of Peacock Blue, one coat of Silver Shine Glitter and you are good to go! If you follow me on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/macbella2">Instagram</a> (you totally should!), you've seen this NOTD shot already.</div>

Next, lippies: Prussian Red and Dark Purple. If you love sheer, moisturizing lipsticks that apply like a balm, you will love Dark Purple (don't worry, it looks dark in the tube but transfers much lighter on the lips because of its sheer formula). Red Prussian, on the other hand, has a creamy pigmented formula and applies like a dream. Its finish reminds me of the MAC Cremesheen lipsticks. I did experience bleeding when I wore this one, but a clear lip liner solves the problem.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">Moving on to the eyes! Meet the </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.479999542236328px; text-align: start;">Yves Rocher Folk Passion Khol Duos: Stormy Blue & Peacock Blue and Mandarin & Smokey Grey. Creamy smooth and nicely pigmented. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.479999542236328px; text-align: start;">The Mandarin & Smokey Grey pencil is a really unique pencil. Soft orange with a slightly frosty finish on one side and a deep creamy charcoal grey on the other. Finally something different! Have you ever seen a winter collection that includes an orange eyeliner before...? I love to use it on the inner 1/3 of my top and lower lash line.</span></div>

Next in the eye makeup category are the Eye Pencils in Deep Charcoal and Ancient Mauve. These are your standard jumbo eye pencil that you can use as a shadow, a liner or a base. I love that they are multiuse and I do enjoy them as liner and shadow...as a base, not so much. I did experience creasing. Definitely apply your UDPP under these babies. Dark Charcoal is gorgeous for a smoky eye; it's a dark grey shade infused with silver shimmers (see pic above). So pretty!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because no winter collection is totally complete without a little bit of frosting (yeah, I said frosting...every time I use this expression, I think of Kate Hudson in "<i>How to lose a guy in ten days</i>"), the collection also includes a sparkling gloss and silver eyeliner. The silver eyeliner is one of my favourite items from this collection. It's not just chunky silver glitter in a clear base. It's actually a silver base packed with silver shimmer. </div>

What it is: </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.479999542236328px; text-align: start;">a water-like gel loaded with fine silver and transparent shimmer/glitter. The result: the most perfect fairy dust glow! I love to use it on shoulders and legs. I have a gold version of this as well (not from this collection) that I took on the cruise with me last year. I just love these. They feel cool on the skin when you apply them and you can even use them in your hair.</span></span></div>

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Kxg2Th5ND5s/UsW_HK_hfTI/AAAAAAAADoE/EAq6PIIT6wA/s1600/shutterstock_62795851.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="219" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Kxg2Th5ND5s/UsW_HK_hfTI/AAAAAAAADoE/EAq6PIIT6wA/s320/shutterstock_62795851.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
I haven't updated the blog in a while so I though I would do a quick post about new year resolutions.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
At first, I wasn't even sure I should make any...the eternal question right? To resolution or to NOT resolution. But I figured, without going to extremes, there are things that I could work on and benefit from. But, I made myself a promise...not to take on crazy resolutions that I know deep down I just won't keep (like eating better or cutting out caffeine...who I am kidding? No way I could give up my java and pastries and junk).<br />
<br />
After a brainstorming session, here is my list of 2014 resolutions:<br />
<br />
- Get more beauty sleep! I am a night owl, have always been (was very handy when my kids were younger and not sleeping through the night, or when I was in college/uni...Nowadays? Not working as well). So, this year I will TRY to get at least 6-7 hours of sleep a night on week days. Reasonable, yes? Plus, getting my beauty sleep will help with resolution #2, which is...<br />
<br />
- Take better care of my skin! And to achieve this, I now have this baby to give my skin the royal treatment. Thanks Mary Kay Canada! I simply love my new <a href="http://www.marykay.ca/skincare/skinvigoratecleansingbrush/skinvigoratecleansingbrush/10066319/default.aspx">Skinvigorate Cleansing Brush</a>! Who knew that I would have to deal with breakouts and wrinkles at once...gotta love being a woman!<br />

<span style="color: #4c4c4c; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">En premier, parlons couleurs (parce que la purple junkie que je suis est aux anges!). Je ne sais pas si vous suivez les défilés des Semaines de la Mode (les "<i>Fashion Weeks")</i>, mais une des couleurs phares sur les podiums automne-hiver 2013 fût le violet (merci <a href="http://www.pantone-france.com/pages/fcr.aspx?pg=21057&ca=4&from=hpfeatures">Pantone</a>!). </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #4c4c4c; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Quelle fût donc ma joie quand j'ai réalisé que la nouvelle collection automne 2013 en comprend plusieurs! *insérez petit cri de joie* </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #4c4c4c; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">Cet automne, la gamme fait peu neuve avec 36 nouvelles teintes modulables (et trois finis, dont un mat...yay!) et une toute nouvelle formule (avec extrait de riz) plus intense et onctueuse promettant une tenue de 8H. Bien entendu, j'ai fait le test. Résultat: sans primer, j'obtiens 6h avant que la couleur ne commence à s'estomper (mais j'ai la peau mixte et les paupières qui vont avec!) </span><br />

On tourne simplement la brosse pour accéder à l'autre coté du réservoir et voilà! Ça parait gadget un brin, mais en fait je trouve l'idée géniale puisqu'elle minimise le besoin replonger la brosse dans le tube (donc moins d'air entre dans le tube à chaque application, ce qui veut dire aussi moins de bactéries).</span><span style="color: #373737;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"> </span></span></span><br />

Not even kidding. Which means <strike>less</strike> no time for blogging. Hence why I am showing you these a few weeks later than planned. Oops.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This summer, Maybelline launched two new Color Show collections: Holographic and Polka Dots (which will be featured in an upcoming post). There's been so much hype about these since the first few teases, that I couldn't wait to see what the fuss was all about.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Holographic nail polish lovers will rejoice...or not. Let me explain. The only thing really holo about them, is the silver holo band on the cap (can you see on the pic above?). <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">The description of the collection on <a href="http://www.maybelline.ca/Makeup-Products/Nail-Polish/Nail-Color/Color-Show-Nail-Lacquer-The-Holographic-Collection.aspx">Maybelline Canada</a>'s website says</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;"> that the "nail effects shift from shade to shade depending on the angle". To me it sounds like these were meant to be duochromes...yes?</span> Nonetheless, they are <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">totally worth checking out. They go on easily with minimum brush strokes. The formula </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;">does spread evenly on the nail, leaving it with a nice, smooth appearance.</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">And definitely SKIP if what you are looking for are holographics...although the band on the cap is kinda pretty to look at... </span><br />

Good news pigment lovers! Maybelline has expanded its Color Tattoo line and introduced the Color Tattoo <a href="http://www.maybelline.ca/Makeup-Products/Eye-Makeup/Eye-Shadow/Eye-Studio-Color-Tattoo-Pure-Pigments-Loose-Powder-Shadow.aspx#shadedetails">Pure Pigments</a> for summer 2013 (is that cheering I hear?!). </div>

I have been a huge fan of Maybelline Color Tattoo cream eyeshadows since day 1 (which are amazeballs! Truly one of my makeup bag must-have. I have already repurchased Bad to the Bronze, my favourite of the bunch...so far! Just bought three of the new LE summer shades....stay tuned for swatches), so I couldn't wait to see if these pigments truly were Color Tattoo line worthy. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
First, let's take a look at what the <a href="http://www.maybelline.ca/Makeup-Products/Eye-Makeup/Eye-Shadow/Eye-Studio-Color-Tattoo-Pure-Pigments-Loose-Powder-Shadow.aspx#shadedetails">Maybelline's website</a> tells us:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Double-dipped pigments create intense eyeshadow colour intensity. Superior staying power (up to 24 hr), for crease-proof wear all day long. Explosive pure pigments in a crease-proof formula.</blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EeHNbjNvAHo/Uf7S4_OduzI/AAAAAAAADh8/41j5LDx-2fk/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EeHNbjNvAHo/Uf7S4_OduzI/AAAAAAAADh8/41j5LDx-2fk/s1600/images.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<b>Wear time : </b>Granted, I always take off my makeup at night, so I can't really comment on their 24 hr claim, but happy to report that they do last 10hr + (all day wear for me) worn with eye primer or over a Color Tattoo cream eyeshadow. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<b>Formula :</b> Pigmentation rocks for most shades. A shame that the line didn't include more matte shades (I think the only semi-matte shade is the royal blue one called Brash Blue). Some shades are rather sheer (for example, there is nothing potent about Potent Purple worn on its own, and Buff & Tuff is just chunky glitter in a very sheer nude shade), but for the most part, pigmentation is great and colours are fun and vibrant. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
I did play around with them a lot before writing this and, even though the sheerness of a few had left me bummed out, I was happy to see that they looked a lot better over a cream eyeshadow or applied wet vs dry (HUGE difference in colour payoff!).</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
On to swatches! I have received 4 for review and bought 2 more shades.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>From left to right</b>: Never Fade Jade #5, Wild Gold #25 , Black Mystery #30, Breaking Bronze #35, Buff & Tuff #60, Potent Purple #15.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<b>Finger swatches</b> - how stunning is the emerald shimmer (<i>hello Pantone colour of the year!</i>) in the shade Black Mystery!!?? LOVE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-f-s9aoYH4lM/Uf7DWMSqVPI/AAAAAAAADhk/f31h_YHRWRQ/s640/blogger-image-1001183405.jpg" /></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<b>Verdict:</b><br />
<br />
<br />
Even though not all shades wowed me (I'd skip Buff & Tuff), I still think these are definitely worth adding to your makeup bag if you love pigments (Never Fade Jade will be a definite must for Fall, you can even use it as a liner with a little bit of mixing medium). At the budget friendly price of $8.99 CAD, these are a great bang for your buck.<br />

Have you bought any of the Maybelline Color Tattoo Pure Pigments? Which ones are your favourites?<br />

Mary Kay is not just for the ladies anymore. They now have a skincare line for men: <b><a href="http://www.marykay.ca/men/MKMenSkinCare/default.aspx">MKMen</a></b>. So you can tell the Mr. that he no longer has to hide the fact that he uses your skin care products (c'mon, we all know they DO it), and that he can now proudly display proof that he takes care of his skin the way REAL men do. With men-approved packaging that they won't be ashamed to carry around on a business trip!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For summer 2013, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/maybellinenewyork">Maybelline</a> released two new nail lacquer collections: Polka Dots and Holographic. These babies have just landed in store. Today's post will focus on the Polka Dots collection.</div>

I have been a fan of the Color Show nail lacquers since day 1. I have so many shades (my favorite is without a doubt <b><a href="http://purplefolie.blogspot.ca/2012/05/my-april-favoritesmes-favoris-davril.html">Orange Fix</a></b>). So, when I spotted these at the drugstore, I just had to pick them up! A line of jelly nail polishes <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">containing a mixture of multi-sized rounded matte black and white particles floating in a bright pigmen<span style="font-family: inherit;">t. Yes, please! The line includes 5 shades:</span></span></span></span></div>

Here is my favorite of the bunch on my nails (<a href="http://instagram.com/macbella2/">Instagram</a> picture...which reminds me...do you all follow me on Instagram too?) - this one is called Drops of Jade #55. Can't get enough of it. My second favorite is Clearly Spotted worn over an opaque white nail polish. Such an easy way to rock the Black & White trend without going overboard!</div>

Une nouvelle génération de maquillage alliant couleurs intenses et soin des lèvres. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.2;">Une bonne tenue, un côté crémeux sans être trop glissants et surtout très pigmentés! J'aime!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mZBbTWJxKaQ/UYUs_V3kWyI/AAAAAAAADbE/NFhTCGEk7tM/s640/blogger-image--1136569132.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mZBbTWJxKaQ/UYUs_V3kWyI/AAAAAAAADbE/NFhTCGEk7tM/s640/blogger-image--1136569132.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Le concept derrière Grand Rouge: que </span><strong style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">chaque femme puisse trouver une teinte pour ses lèvres</strong><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">, que votre carnation vous permette du rouge vif ou plutôt du corail ou du marron… </span><strong style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Trouver LE rouge</strong><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">. Bref, avec cette gamme pas de doute vous avez le choix, puisqu'elle se compose de </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">18 nuances</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">!</span></span><br />
<br />
Verdict: On aime la formule naturelle à base d'huile de Camélia et d'huile de Sésame (allo lèvres douces)! Les rouges à lèvres Grand Rouge avec leur texture hydratante ''seconde peau'' qui se fondent sur les lèvres, sont ultra agréables à porter. Et que dire du packaging doré? Ultra chic non?<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; text-align: -webkit-center;">First, lips...Lip Lacquers that is! Sad to say but these didn't wow me as much as I thought (hoped) they were going to. You do get a lot of product for the price and they come with </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; text-align: -webkit-center;">a mini retractable lip brush which is pretty fantastic, I have to say. Although, if applying on-the-go, you can totally apply these with your finger as well. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-center;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The reason why they didn't get a raving review here...opacity. These are very sheer high shine lip lacquers. Maybe it's just me, but when I think lip lacquers I think high shine BOLD vinyl finish lip shades. Not sheer. Opacity aside, they are nice, hydrating and very purse friendly. I would have preferred a true lip lacquer, something with a little more character! Here are the swatches:</span></span></div>

Also included in the Zen in Bloom collection are these four new shades of their cream eye colors. Super creamy and pigmented. They are kinda slick at first, which allows you enough time to place them properly onto your lid before they start to set. You can wear them alone or as a base for your eye shadow looks to create bolder looks that will last up to 10 hours. I love to just throw them on using my fingers, add liner and mascara and I am good to go! You can wear them on the waterline as well making them totally safe for contact lenses wearers. Definitely my favorite product of the collection. They are also available in 5 other shades.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As with the other mineral eye colors they carry, this limited edition trio is nicely pigmented and blend really well. I am loving the sand shade and the green is definitely a must-have this season (if you find emerald to be too bold, you will love this one to rock the Pantone color of the year!). I love using the blue shade as a pop of colour below bottom lashes while keeping my lids in the neutral zone. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am so ready to start wearing pretty Spring hues on my nails and was thrilled to see that two new shades of their nail lacquers were included in the collection! For Spring, Mary Kay<b> </b>brings us two limited edition nail lacquer shades in Pink Bamboo and Blue Lotus. I can get away with one coat which I love on days where life is just a tad crazy or on nights where you decide to paint your nails when it's almost bedtime (yes, I know I am not alone...you do that too, don't you?). If you have to pick just one shade, Lotus Blue is the stand out. Love, love it!</span><br />

Overall, Mary Kay didn't disappoint once again with this lovely collection. I have said it before, and I will say it again: <b>"This is NOT your aunt Rose's makeup!"</b>. I am so in LOVE with the cream eye color shade in <i>Metallic Taupe</i>. It has become my everyday eye shadow. I also love to use it as a base for smokey eyes. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only "two thumbs down" for me goes to the lip lacquers, as I really wish they would have been more ''lip lacquer'' like and less like a high shine lip butter.</div>

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zZywRw7izEc/UVOnb21884I/AAAAAAAADXk/9o1IWHbB_zQ/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zZywRw7izEc/UVOnb21884I/AAAAAAAADXk/9o1IWHbB_zQ/s320/1.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Maybelline recently came out with a new line of lipsticks/lip balm hybrids. I must say I am totally on board with the trend toward more comfortable, hydrating lipsticks! Finally, the beauty world has heard our pleas! Needless to say, I couldn't wait to try these new Color Whisper...because Maybelline is totally right...sometimes a whisper is better than a shout!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nogH1NTikxY/UVOng68vfWI/AAAAAAAADXs/J1rwZdng560/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nogH1NTikxY/UVOng68vfWI/AAAAAAAADXs/J1rwZdng560/s320/3.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The formula is very creamy, but not heavy on the lips (or too slick). They are on the sheer side, but the colour is buildable, which I LOVE! A light sweep on the lips will give you just a veil of colour (aka no need for a mirror to apply...did I just hear you go "woo hoo!"? Oh no wait, that was totally me!), but if you reapply a few coats, you get a gorgeous shiny lip. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because these are a cross between a lipbalm and a lipstick, you do have to reapply often (staying power is not that great) but if that means not having to deal with a drying formula (and flaky lips...so not cute), I am all for reapplying!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;">In a nutshell, lightweight lip products that can give off a range of colors depending on how much you build them up. Non-drying, comfortable to wear, moisturizing and all over good for your lips (they smell good too). If you are as big of a lipstick junkie as I am, these will quickly become a staple in your makeup bag...until the next lip innovation comes out that is (said in my best lipstick addict voice). Get one, you will want them all. Consider yourself warned.</span></div>

My latest Trade Secrets haul! <br />
<br />
Saw the movie with the family (loved it, the lip gloss crew did too) and had to get my hands on a few...ok ok I fess up..missing just one - When Monkeys Fly - the only glitter that received bad reviews (taco glitter). Too bad because the holo glitters looked gorgeous in the bottle!<br />
<br />
I have tried/worn 3 of them so far and I have to say that this one (What wizardry is this?) is my favourite. The only liquid sand in the collection. Absolutely STUNNING!<br />
<br />
The creamy shades are quite sheer (think OPI Barefoot in Barcelona). Personally, I prefer more opaque polishes so I am a tad disappointed. Glitters are to die for pretty. If you are a glitter lover, you will love these! My must: definitely Lights of Emerald City!<br />
<br />
The collection includes 7 shades: 3 glitters, 3 "nude" shades and "What the Wizardry is This?", the only textured polish in the collection (liquid sand) which is the one I am showing you today.<br />
<br />
Have you gotten any of the polishes from that collection? Which ones are your favourites?<br />
<br />
My next mani will probably be Lights of Emerald City over I Theodora You, aka princess nails! ;) I have a feeling that my little ones will want to rock the same nails as mommy... ;)<br />

I have to say, when I first heard that <a href="http://www.marykay.com/en-US/New-Products/Mary-Kay-Brush-Cleaner/170310.partId?eCatId=4294967131">Mary Kay</a> was coming out with a brush cleaner, I was thrilled! If you follow me on Twitter, you already knew because I had <a href="https://twitter.com/i/#!/macbella2/media/slideshow?url=pic.twitter.com%2FHESgJYyj">tweeted</a> about it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't understand why not all cosmetics companies carry their own brush cleaner?! It would make sense, wouldn't it? Take note cosmetics companies! ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cleaning your brushes is essential if you want to keep your brushes 1- in good shape 2- keep germs away from your face (bacteria = acne) and your products (cosmetics are expensive, we all know that, so you want to make sure you treat them right, and that includes avoiding contamination with dirty brushes). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All you need:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1- Paper towels or clean towels (I use paper towels because I already spend my life doing laundry so no need to add to my never ending pile!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2- Brush cleaner</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3- Dirty brushes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4- A good TV show or music CD to keep you company while you clean (MOTIVATION ladies!!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">How-to:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Dirty brushes (shown here: mix of foundation, cream products, gel liner and powdered products like eye shadows and blushes for testing purposes! Yes, I had fun getting them dirty.):</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3- Swirl the brush onto the paper towels to remove all traces of makeup. Spray and repeat until all clean...Ta da!!! (shown here: result after two sprays and 2 swirls):</div>

4- Let your clean brushes air dry overnight. I like propping them up head down on a rolled-up hand towel to keep any moisture away from the ferrule. Just a little tip! ;)</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Verdict:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a MAC brush cleaner fan (tried Quo, hated it). I have to say that the <a href="http://www.marykay.com/en-US/New-Products/Mary-Kay-Brush-Cleaner/170310.partId?eCatId=4294967131">Mary Kay Brush Cleaner</a> is a great alternative. As you can see in the picture, it removed ALL traces of makeup from the brush with just 2 sprays. The only thing I noticed, is that it doesn't work as well on long-wear cream shadows (it takes a few more sprays than the MAC version to get the product out completely). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you don't use long-wear cream products often, I would definitely recommend this brush cleaner. It smells divine and does what it claims. Plus, it helps condition bristles. At $10 CAD for a 6 fl. oz. bottle, you can't go wrong!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">Fidèle à son principe de mettre en avant des produits à base de composants naturels, <a href="http://www.yvesrocher.ca/control/main">Yves Rocher</a> est allé explorer de nouvelles régions pour découvrir de nouvelles plantes pour mettre au point sa toute nouvelle ligne de soins de peau. C’est au Canada et au Mexique que la nouvelle gamme d'Yves Rocher, Hydra Végétal, trouve ses origines. De là mon intérêt, vous savez combien j'aime parler de produits canadiens (ou conçus avec des ingrédients trouvés en sol canadien). </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">True to its vow to always use ingredients that come from the plant world, Yves Rocher decided this time around, to go explore new landscapes to create its newest line - Hydra Vegetal. It's in Canada and Mexico that the Hydra Vegetal skin care line roots come from. This is why I was so interested when I first heard about it, as you all know how much I love to talk about Canadian products (or products created using ingredients found in Canadian soil).</span><br />
<div>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></strong></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">A base de sèves végétales au fort pouvoir hydratant, ces produits ont un double effet: ils permettent à la fois d’hydrater la peau et de l’embellir grâce à l’association exclusive des sèves végétales d’Érable du Canada (un peu de fierté canadienne ici!) et d’Agave Bleue du Mexique. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">The <a href="http://www.yvesrocher.ca/control/hydra-vegetal/">Yves Rocher</a> team chose two types of botanical saps for the amazing moisture-capturing capabilities they have; combining botanical Maple (a little Canadian pride here!) and Organic Blue Agave saps for the double effect these components have on the skin: long-lasting moisture and skin radiance.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">Grâce à ses deux composantes, votre peau demeurera gorgée d'eau et qui dit peau hydratée, dit peau en santé! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">Thanks to these two botanical saps, your skin will no longer be thirsty. And hydrated skin is healthy skin!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">Ces produits ont sauvé ma peau en croisière il y a quelques semaines après un vilain coup de soleil (surtout le Gel Crème Hydratation Intense 24h que j'ai également appliqué sur mes épaules et décoletté). L'odeur est très fraîche (ça sent le propre!) et la sensation apaisante et rafraîchissante. </span><span style="line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;">These products have saved my skin on a recent cruise I took after suffering a bad sunburn (the 24h Intense Hydrating Gel Cream was a lifesaver! I also used it on my shoulders and decoletté where I had also burned pretty bad). The entire line has the same fresh clean scent and leaves your skin feeling refreshed and soothed.</span></span></span><br />

The new fragrance Dance to Life is also offered in <a href="http://www.marykay.ca/whatsnew/newproducts/dancetolifelotion/10055512/default.aspx">Radiant Shimmer Lotion</a>.

It is very lovely. ;)<br />

The best thing about these, it takes only minutes to put them on! The sticky tabs on the imPress nails make it so easy to do and mess free! If you need more info, check out my review <a href="http://purplefolie.blogspot.ca/2012/01/impress-nails.html">here</a>.</div>

Ok, so being the big baby that I am lol I couldn't wait to see what they would look like on! Presenting the Broadway imPress Nails Limited Edition in Orange with the Kiss Nail Dress in style #57860 (accent nail).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see in the pic, the Kiss Nail Dress gave me a little grief...these aren't decals, they are stickers...see the evil bubbles on the sides of the nail? Now, my question is, would they have given me this much trouble on bare nails? I will definitely have to test it out and report back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I really love the fun spooky designs offered in the 2012 Halloween collections. Note: these are much longer than the regular imPress nails. Scary spooky nails need to be long after all! But you can always cut and file them down to the desired length.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Maybelline recently came out with a new range of insanely pigmented lip glosses - the Color Sensational High Shine. <br />
<br />
<br />
I was a little bit weary about testing them out (let's be honest, we are among friends after all). I have tried many Color Sensational lipsticks and I am not a fan of the formula. The only shade I will grab for (out of the 6 I own) is Born With It. But, I have to say, these are truly a ''beauty find of the month'' for me.<br />
<br />

-wax free formula<br />
-non-sticky (love!)<br />
-The shine effect makes your lips appear fuller.<br />
-Comfortable to wear, they don't dry out your lips<br />
-No need to apply lipstick underneath, they are pigmented enough to wear on their own (great for busy moms!).<br />
-Sleek packaging with a great doe foot applicator. The slant in the tip makes all the difference ladies!<br />

Remember when the PR people for <b>Anastasia of Beverly Hills</b> sent me the <a href="http://purplefolie.blogspot.ca/2012/07/anastasia-of-beverly-hills-see-and-be.html">See and Be Seen</a> kit to review and they had included a View Master in their press kit? Fun, right? This time around for their Holiday 2012 goodies, they made it fun again!<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The <b>Want You To Want Me</b> kit came in with....a record! Oh so 1970's! Which is also the theme of the kit, with its desig</span>n and shade names drawing inspiration from the disco chic era! <br />

The eye shadows are velvety soft. I did experience fallout with a few shades but nothing a little loose powder dusted under my eyes couldn't help take care of ( take note of the tip ladies! Then all you need to do is brush it all away with a clean kabuki brush).<br />
<br />
Anastasia of Beverly Hills is also offering a lip gloss set (Paraben Free) this coming Holiday season. The <b>Kisses On My List </b>set contains 6 gorgeous ''tame'' shades perfect for everyday wear or to pair up with the smoldering plum smokey eyes you can create with the <b>Want You To Want Me</b> set.<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Each gloss is named after famous 70’s muses: Lola, Maggie May, Sharona, Roxanne, Jolene, and Moi.</span></span><br />

I love the shade range included, but a plum or red shade would have been a great addition to this set (to wear with the more neutral shades included in the eye shadow palette I am thinking!). Nothing is ever perfect right?<br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">To end this post on a fun note, take a look at the footage of the behind the scenes at the “Want you to want me” set. 70's glam, rock and roll and giant hairblowing fans all worked together to create this look!

Ou encore, on se lève le matin en pensant ''pas besoin de laver mes cheveux aujourd'hui, ils sont passables pour la journée et je les laverai demain!'', mais on sort de la douche, on se passe un coup de brosse dans la tignasse et on se rend bien compte que, finalement, on aurait dû se laver les cheveux.

If you have never tried a dry shampoo before, do. And then come back here and thank me. It's such a lifesaver on mornings when time is short. It's also perfect to take with you on vacation for reviving beach or hat hair.<br />
<span style="color: purple;">Si vous n'avez jamais essayé de shampoing sec, mettez ce produit sur le banc d'essai. Ensuite, revenez ici me dire merci! C'est un essentiel pour les matins pressés. Super pratique en vacances aussi pour donner un souffle de vie aux cheveux ayant été cachés sous un chapeau toute la journée ou après avoir passer la journée à la plage.</span><br />

China Glaze Nail Apps. This is the design I had the chance to try, called Seeing Stripes in Blue.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">Aujourd'hui, je vous présente quelque chose de pas mal cool du site <a href="http://www.nailpolishcanada.com/categories/nail-art/nail-polish-strips.html">Nail Polish Canada</a> (à noter: pas de versant en français sur le site mais il est tout de même très facile à naviguer). Le design que j'ai eu la chance d'essayer s'appelle ''Seeing Stripes-Bleu''.</span><br />

The package contains the nail polish strips, one nail files, one rosewood stick and an instruction booklet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Even though the information provided were complete and clear, I still had some difficulties applying these (or maybe I just wasn't caffeinated enough!?). Just press on, and file off the excess. Then apply a top coat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;">L'emballage contient les bandes auto-collantes, une lime à ongle, un repousse-cuticules en bois de rose et un livret d'instructions. Bien que les instructions étant bien détaillées et complètes, j'ai tout de même eu de la difficulté à appliquer les ''Nail Apps'' de China Glaze (ou peut-être que je n'avais pas assez bu de café?!). Méthode d'application assez simple pourtant: Appliquer sur l'ongle et limer ce qui dépasse au bout de l'ongle. Ensuite, une couche de top coat.</span></div>

<br />
Ta da! Here's the result/<span style="color: purple;">Voilà le résultat</span>:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DrsNpxQMMgY/UFUEvs5JecI/AAAAAAAADAI/Ezw3crGHrHQ/s1600/WP_001181.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DrsNpxQMMgY/UFUEvs5JecI/AAAAAAAADAI/Ezw3crGHrHQ/s640/WP_001181.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Small problem I encountered, and you can see it on the pic above, is that the strips pulled back a little after a few minutes (see pinky finger where it's more apparent). My advice: don't pull too much on the strips when applying them. Simply press onto the nail and smooth out toward the edges.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">Un petit problème que j'ai rencontré, et vous pouvez le voir sur la photo ci-dessus; les bandes auto-collantes ont ''refoulées'' au bout de l'ongle un peu (voir mon petit doigt où c'est plus apparent. Mon conseil: ne pas trop tirer en appliquant les bandes. Il suffit de coller les bandes et de bien lisser l'auto-collant pour éviter les plis et/ou bulles d'air.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span>
Final thoughts:<br />
These were really fun! I love the design as it's not something I could have done with nail polish only. At $11.00 for one use, I do find them to be on the pricey side a little. Also, why include 16 strips? Granted, different nail sizes are included, but I would rather have the option to purchase a kit for small nail beds (or medium or wide nail beds, you get the point) that would include 20 nail strips and pay a few more dollars (15$ for 20 strips so you get to have two tries out of one package)? Something to think about China Glaze!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">Mot final:</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Je les trouve vraiment amusantes et le design n'est pas quelque chose que j'aurais pû faire à main levée avec des vernis à ongles. Mais, je trouve que 11.00$ pour un usage unique est un peu cher. Et pourquoi inclure 16 bandes?? Oui, avoir l'option de plusieurs grandeurs pour assurer un bon ''fit'' est bien mais dans ce cas, pourquoi ne pas offrir l'emballage en différentes grandeurs (pour petits ongles, moyens ou ongles plus larges?) et inclure non pas 16 mais 20 bandes? Dans ce cas, on en aurait pour deux manucures. Au lieu de payer 11$, on monte le prix à 15$. Juste une petite suggestion China Glaze! ;)</span><br />
<br />
Thanks <a href="http://www.nailpolishcanada.com/">Nail Polish Canada</a> for sending these over! I really like how they turned out. ;)<br />
<span style="color: purple;">Un grand merci à </span><a href="http://www.nailpolishcanada.com/">Nail Polish Canada</a> <span style="color: purple;">de m'avoir envoyé le design ''Seeing Stripes''. Ils sont jolis non?</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">New from Garnier. A new line of hair care products with Argan Oil: Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine with Marroccan Argan Oil.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H5nOltzbipI/UEf56-7qEVI/AAAAAAAAC-w/qxcRNNRwV54/s1600/Garnier-Fructis-Sleek-and-Shine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="205" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H5nOltzbipI/UEf56-7qEVI/AAAAAAAAC-w/qxcRNNRwV54/s320/Garnier-Fructis-Sleek-and-Shine.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Si vous connaissez l'huile d'argan, vous êtes au courant des miracles qu'elle peut faire sur les cheveux grâce à ses vertus réparatrices et hydratantes. Et habituellement, qui dit huile d'argan, dit produit assez dispendieux non? Pas avec Garnier. Mêmes bienfaits, à petit prix!<br />
<span style="color: purple;">If you have heard about argan oil and its many benefits, then you know it's a miracle-worker when it comes to hair thanks to its healing and hydrating properties. Argan oil products are usually pretty pricey. Not with Garnier. Same benefits, but with a budget-friendly price tag!</span><br />
<br />
De sa nouvelle ligne Sleek Shine, Garnier nous dit:<br />

Le produit ''star'' de la gamme pour moi est le <b>Traitement à L'huile Morroccan Skeek</b> (5.49$).<br />
<span style="color: purple;">The star product for me: <b>The Morroccan Sleek Oil Treatment </b>($5.49).</span><br />

<br />
Bon petit traitement sans rinçage (sans résidu) qui répare, hydrate et soigne chaque mèche. Dès la première application, j'ai vu une différence au niveau de la douceur et brillance de mes cheveux. On l'applique sur cheveux humides (séchés à la serviette) après le shampooing. Je vous le conseille fortement si vous colorez vos cheveux ou abusez des appareils coiffants (comme moi). Je m'en sers même sur mes cheveux secs pour discipliner les petites mèches rebelles ou pour lisser en touche de finition quand je me coiffe. Peut aussi être ajouté à tout revitalisant pour un boost de brillance. Vous savez combien j'aime les produits multi-usages! Ce petit traitement est devenu un de mes essentiels!<br />
<span style="color: purple;">Great no-rinse treatment. Leaves no residue. It repairs, hydrates and heals each strand of hair. I saw results after the first use. My hair was softer and shinier. Apply to clean damp hair (towel dry). I highly recommend it if you color your hair or abuse of hot tools (like yours truly). I personally also use it on dry hair to smooth down any frizzies or as a finisher when styling my hair. You can even add a few drops of it to your conditioner for a boost of shine. You know how much I love multi-use products right? This treatment oil is definitely a must-have for me!</span><br />

J'ai tellement aimé la gamme que je me suis acheté la <b>Trousse de Lissage Blow Dry Perfection Brushing</b>.<br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">This summer, Yves Rocher takes us to a tropical island rich in exotic flowers and juicy fruits and where the hues are raw and used by the sun. Very inspiring don't you think?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Laissez-moi vous montrer mes quatre coups de coeur de la collection Été 2012 Yves Rocher - Tribal Attitude.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Let me show you my four must-have products of the Summer 2012 Yves Rocher collection - Tribal Attitude.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<u><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Le Bronzeur nacré Terre de Soleil/Terracotta Bronzer ($9.95)</span></b></u></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Finement nacré pour un effet bonne mine naturel. La teinte est parfaite pour les teint clairs (nuance neutre, pas orangée). De plus, comme tous les produits Yves Rocher, il contient des composantes d'origine végétale. En effet, cette petite poudre n'est pas que jolie, mais elle est chouchoute aussi votre peau avec de l'huile de coton, de l'huile d'amande douce ainsi que de l'extrait de Marron illuminateur. Super soyeuse, elle se fond sans efforts. Mon produit chouchou de la collection!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Fine shimmers add just the right touch for a glowy tanned complexion. I really love this bronzer! It is perfect for light skin tones (neutral shade, no orange undertone). Also, as it's the case with all Yves Rocher products, it contains botanicals to pamper your skin: cotton oil, almond oil and brightening maroon extract in this case.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Soft and velvety texture that blends in effortlessly. Truly my favorite of the collection!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<u><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Le Gloss teinte Terre Brûlée/Sienna Red Lip Gloss ($4.95)</span></b></u></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Gloss au parfum gourmand très pigmenté. J'ai été agréablement surprise de la richesse de la nuance. Contient de l'extrait de framboise.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Aussi disponible dans deux autres teintes: Mûre et Praliné.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Shimmery red lipgloss. Great pigmentation, smells lovely. I was pleasantly surprised at how rich the shade is. Contains raspberry extract. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Also available in two other shades: Blackberry and Praline.</span></div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<u><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Le Eyeliner Soleil Bleu/Blue Sun Liquid Eyeliner ($4.95)</span></b></u></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Encore un autre produit qui m'a surpris par sa pigmentation. Jolie teinte de bleu océan - aqua métallique. Contient de l'eau de bleuet. J'adore le porter avec une ombre à paupière bronze!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Another win from this collection. Pigmentation is fabulous. Gorgeous ocean blue/aqua metallic shade. Contains blueberry water. I love wearing it paired up with bronze eye shadow! Gorgeous!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<u><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Eau des Nacres/Pearly Water ($9.95)</span></b></u></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Gelée nacrée ultra-légère au délicieux parfum. Elle est géniale pour illuminer le teint, ajouter une touche d'éclat ou encore sublimer le bronzage. Pour le visage et le décolleté. Contient de fines nacres dorées et de l'eau de nénuphar. Super pour les looks de soirée appliquée sur la clavicule et les épaules. J'aime bien aussi l'appliquer sur le haut de mes pommettes. De plus, elle laisse une sensation toute fraîche qui est bien plaisante.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Pearly, slightly gelled liquid leaves your skin adorned with a golden scented veil that beautifies your complexion, shoulders and decoletté. Contains fine golden shimmers and water lilly extract. Looks great applied to shoulders and collar bone to add a touch of glow to your evening looks. I also love using it as a highlighter on top of my cheekbones. Leaves a fresh cooling sensation upon application which I enjoy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">La collection Tribal Attitude comprend également deux crayons duo khôl (comprenant chacun deux teintes tendance; une teinte finement nacrée pour illuminer le regard et une teinte imtense et matte pour ajouter de la profondeur. 5.95$ chacun). Contiennent de l'huile de coton adoucissante. Bien que les teintes soient vraiment jolies, la texture de ces crayons est plutôt sèche...ce qu'on ne s'attend pas de la part d'un khôl. Je préfère un crayon plus crémeux personellement, puisque j'applique habituellement mon crayon sur la paupière le long de la ligne des cils et non à l'intérieur de l'oeil. Les teintes nacrées sont parfaites, par contre, pour ajouter une touche lumière dans le coin interne de l'oeil.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">The collection also includes two duo kohl pencils (each comes with two trendy shades; a shimmery shade to illuminate your eyes and one intensely matte to add depth. $5.95 ea). Contain cotton oil. Even though the shades are very pretty, the texture of these pencils is on the dry side...which is quite surprising for a kohl. I, personally, prefer a much softer pencil, since I always apply my eyeliner along the lash line and not on my waterline (contacts). The shimmery shades are fantastic when applied to the inner corners of the eyes to add a little bit of light.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Aussi dans la collection maquillage Été 2012, deux teintes d'ombres à paupières (Vert de Gris et Pêche Nude). J'ai eu la chance de tester la nuance Vert de Gris. Bien que n'étant pas une teinte que je porte souvent, j'ai bien aimé la texture soyeuse et l'effet nacré. Contiennent de l'huile de Camélia aux propriétés adoucissantes. On nous dit même ''s'applique au doigt facilement''. Accro de mes pinceaux, je n'ai malheureusement pas l'habitude d'appliquer mon maquillage au doigt. Restera à tester... ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">5.95$ chacune.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Also in the Summer 2012 make-up collection, two shades of eye shadows are available (Nude Peach, Vert de Gris). I was sent Vert de Gris. Even though it's not a shade I go for usually, I still enjoyed the silky texture and pearly finish of these shadows. Contain Camelia oil (moisturizing agent). According to Yves Rocher, these can be applied using your fingertips. I always use my brushes to apply ma make-up, so this remains to be tested... ;)</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">$5.95 ea.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Le mascara transparent infusé de nacres dorées - Eau des Cils - est un bon concept (on peut aussi l'appliqué sur les sourcils). Mais, selon moi, des nacres moins fines ou plus concentrées auraient été préférables. L'effet scintillant obtenu est ultra subtil. Contient de l'extrait de bleuet. (4.95$)</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">The Eau des Cils - Clear mascara included in this collection is a great concept (it can also be applied to the brows). But, it lacks in pigmentation. In my opinion, bigger shimmer particles or a higher concentration of the ultra-fine shimmers in this mascara would have been necessary for this to be a must have. Applied on lashes, the effect is very subtle. Contains blueberry extract. ($4.95)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Finalement, la collection comprend 4 teintes de vernis à ongles aux nuances tribales de vert de gris, bleu, orange brûlé et de pourpre (et oui, la star de la coll. vernis Tribal Attitude selon moi). Ces mini flacons de 3 ml (2.95$ chacun) sont parfaits pour trimbaler dans votre sac. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: inherit;">Last but not least, the collection also includes 4 nail polishes in shades of blue, plum, green and burnt orange (and yes, the star of the collection, for me, is the plum shade). These mini nail polishes contain 3 ml of product and retail for $2.95 ea. They are just the perfect size to carry in your bag. </span><br />
