Cocktail at The Hotel Des Indes

I try to pack minimum items especially for weekend travels. Boyish basics: a pair of jeans and black pants, black shirts, V sweater and three-quarter lengh coat. With beautiful accessories that will bring a touch of glam rock …

A friend invited me to the Hotel Des Indes considered as the fanciest place in The Hague. Minimalist rock: I match a pair of skinny jeans and black wide T-shirt, with Sam Edelman black suede high heels booties and a lovely black and pink leather clutch, Lilu for Mademoiselle K, for sale on this blog.

To add a glam touch, the glossy red lipstick, Pure Color Envy Liquid Potion (330 Lethal Red) of Estée Lauder, with pulled hair and no make-up. I even wear it during the daytime! Less is – definitely – more.

For Walking Into Town

During the day, I go to museums, do shopping and explore the different neighborhoods, sometimes I stop in a restaurant or coffee. Suffice to say that I walk a lot!

So I chose the flat booties Palladium in waterproof leather. Surprisingly I find they refine the calf and are pretty feminine and comfortable too! I wear them with black pants or jeans.

Plus a Massimo Dutti pouch where I slid my tram and museum tickets and an old school city map.

Breathing at The North Sea 

Great fun. Long walk with a friend, on a preserved part of the beach lined with dunes. It’s windy and raining. That’s why I wear this gorgeous plastic pink poncho (LOL!). Great match with my multicolored Skechers

Currently, I am more concerned to moisturize my face and clarify my complexion (which tarnishes with the imminent arrival of winter) than wrinkles. After seeing an improvement on my mother’s mature skin, I use the Estee Lauder Enlighten serum and cream. After two months, her spots are slightly faded and her complexion is more radiant. Even the texture of her skin looks better.

Make-up: My Spring 2014 Routine

I’m not crazy of make-up, but I’m changing ; )

As in fashion, I like the Less Is More attitude with a passion for nude, lipsticks and smoky eyes! And thanks to the M.A.C. Antonio Lopez collection, I discovered I liked the pink blush, yes, me! A HAPPINESS product that instantly illuminates the face and gives you good looks! This is my number one product of the first three months of 2014. And the packaging is awesome too! I add to set makeup or refresh the face, the incredible Eau de Beauté of Caudalie I don’t get tired!

My good mood must have for day and night, I’m a huge fan!

My sister was the first to talk to me about the Clinic Chubby Sticks. I immediately liked the texture of those large crayons, which is more lightweight and comfortable than traditional lipsticks and silkier and less sticky than gloss. And I also liked the greedy colors: 14 Curvy Candy (1.) I apply before or after 11 Two Ton Tomato (2.), to give a more iridescent hue or bright red. I rarely put the one without the other and in any case, I always start with the Kiehl’s Lip Balm # 1 (3.) to nourish and soften my lips.

Awesome duo for an ultra glam result! 

Ah! Tom, yes Tom Ford, with your Diva packaging, you are fast becoming the must have of my parties! A “Lip Color lipstick” RED RED, 10 Cherry Lush (1.): Femininity, elegance … with a touch of je ne sais quoi: Lab Shine, the “glittery” gloss of Make Up For Ever that I apply after the 10 Cherry Lush. And I don’t care if it’s the trend or not!

Far-far from pro make-up artists!

L’Intensifying Long Wear Mascara de Bobbi Brown (1.) lengthens lashes one by one, while giving a very natural look. It is also very (too) strong to remove! Daytime I prefer the slightly iridescent brown of L’Oréal Paris Color Appeal Trio Pro (2.). Occasionally a line of eyeliner to highlight the lashes with the Super Liner Perfect Slim of L’Oréal Paris (3.). It’s a kind of  fine-tipped paintbrush, very easy to apply which makes me forget the black pencil! This winter I finally used the Bronzing Powder Golden Light 1 of Bobby Brown (4.) in very very light way (before applying my M.A.C. pink blush). Picture below, the Estée Lauder Cyber Lilac eyeshadow I mostly use to make great smocky eyes. Lovely object that I slip in my makeup kit with pleasure.
