It’s part of my survival kit for the mornings where I cycle to work and think that because the sun is out, the weather will be warm. Or maybe it’s because I’m now 30 and once you reach this age a free cardigan is giving to you. Anyway, for me it has now become a staple for my spring wardrobe even more that I work from home more often, so it helps me look business ready even if I’m wearing the most awful pants and t-shirt.
The other advantage is that it makes any basic outfit look expensive!
I recently bought a couple of cotton-blend cardigans from Uniqlo on Vinted for a less than 10 pounds each.
Rule 2: A leather jacket or trench coat, you’ll need.
One statement outerwear piece that makes you look like you planned the outfit, even if you didn’t. Any bad outfits can be hidden under a long trench. My one and only trench coat for the past 5 years is a vintage piece from Burberry that I bought in a thrift shop in Paris. The best 200-something euros I’ve ever spent in fashion. No regret whatsoever.
Rule 3: one colourful bag to bring the joy back.
If there’s one accessory that needs to be colourful in my outft it always start with my bag!
That’s my little fashion “fun touch”, when I’m not wearing any colour or to just lift up my mood and summon the sun. To be fair, that has been my motto when buying bags for a while, I probably own only one or two black bags, the rest are bags or colour.
What are your spring fashion rules you can’t live without? :)

]]>
So it is without surprise that on Saturday, I decided to use my last Everyman Cinema voucher to go see Eternity (film by David Freyne).
Movie plot
In ‘Eternity’, Larry Cutler (Miles Teller) dies unexpectedly and ends up in The Junction. He has a week to figure out where he wants to spend his afterlife, but he also needs to consider where his wife, Joan (Elizabeth Olsen), would like to spend eternity. After a week, he’s reunited with his wife, Joan, at The Junction, but she’s also reunited with someone else … Luke (Callum Turner), her first husband, who died in his early 20s in the war.
This is where the dilemma lies for this trio: who’s Joan going to spend Eternity with and where?
Who is she going to choose? The dreamy first husband, whose life was taken way too early and whom she still loved all her life, or the man with whom she shared 67 years of love, grew a wonderful family with her and created a life that she loved.
My opinion
This is why you see her so conflicted about her choice. Indeed, she woke up to a younger version of herself, but on the inside, she’s Joan, who died with 80 years’ worth of memories.
What do I like about this movie?
When you wake up on the afterlife train, you wake up as yourself at the age you were happiest.
This made me wonder, if I already lived through the happiest time of my life, or if the best has yet to come? I hope the latter, but I don’t think I’d be too sad if it wasn’t the case. It may sound a little cynical, but in the past couple of years, I’ve really been trying to live life to the fullest. Even if some periods were not great, I try to focus on the positive moments within these years.
If you delve into the subject, the question that you need to ask yourself is: “How can I ensure I am living my life to the fullest without constantly thinking that I’m missing something?” Sometimes we’re too preoccupied with chasing the next high or reliving past moments that we might end up missing the happiest times of our lives.
When it comes to choosing between different options, I’m the worst! I’m incredibly indecisive, a true Libra! I wish we could live in a Marvel Universe, where we have the possibility to live in different realities and see what happens in these other universes. I’d love to know where Noémie, who didn’t end up going to London, ended up, and what she is doing? I’d love to see that!
That’s why I wouldn’t want to be in Joan’s shoes – it would be an impossible choice for me. Like her, I sometimes get so drawn to the past that I choose it for comfort, or to imagine what could have been, instead of focusing on what I’ve already lived or what could still happen.
What’s my final opinion on the movie?
The best description would be that we were going up on the roller coaster, almost reached the perfect ending, then went back down for a long time before the rhythm picked up again.
I’d give the movie an 8/10 – it’s a feel-good movie, a rom-com as I love them, even if there were some down times that I didn’t like. I also really enjoyed the trio we had on-screen; they had a great alchemy, and Elizabeth Olsen’s role reminded me of one of her characters in the early episodes of WandaVision. I actually prefer her in comedic space rather than as Scarlet Witch (even if she’s my favourite superhero). The two husbands, Miles Teller and Callum Turner, were perfectly cast; one is a not-so-perfect, but who would totally get husband of the year award. The other one is a Calvin Klein model who’s perfect (or almost) on every plan. If we add the two charming Afterlife Coordinators, we have the perfect main cast.
A movie by David Freyne, starring Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller, and Callum Turner.

]]>Interestingly, it seems that blogs, Substacks, Medium, and other platforms have been gaining in popularity recently. People are looking for more authentic content and turning to written content instead of video. This means that we’re back on my favourite playground!
At the end of November, I had a week off from work, and spend most of my time getting back in touch with my creative side through the blog, working on projects I had left untouched for over a year, going to the gym or just enjoying London. This is when I realise that I need to make time and put in the effort to do things I enjoy, like blogging. This is why I thought maybe I should bring back Blogmas this year!
Bref, fin novembre j’ai eu une semaine de congé et j’ai pris le temps de renouer avec mon côté créatif avec mon blog, j’ai reprise des projets que j’avais mis en pause depuis plus d’un an, je suis allée à la gym et j’ai pris le temps de profiter de Londres. C’est pour ces raisons que je me suis dit que je devais faire revenir les blogmas cette année!
Back to my old blog post, 6 years ago, I wrote that the 3 reasons why I’ll always keep a blog and why I think they’ll remain relevant:
1) content that lasts
2) bored with reading long Instagram captions
3) more intimacy on a blog – more space to write your feelings and thoughts
Do I still feel the same? Yes, for the most part!
Revenons à nos moutons et à l’article que j’ai écrit il y a 6 ans. Dance cet article, j’écrivais qu’il y avait trois raisons pour lequel je garde ce blog ouvert et que les blogs seront toujours utiles:
1) le blog c’est du contenu qui dure
2) lire de longues descriptions sur Instagram ne m’intéresse pas tant que ça
3) les blogs sont plus authentiques, plus intime
You’re reading someone who has probably more than 1000 videos across Titkok and Instagram saved, 2000 plus posts published across both media.
Still, I spend more time revisiting the content I’ve published on my blog rather than on these platforms. There’s a sense that articles will always be available in the future, while videos will always be replaced by the next viral one. It’s sometimes hard to feel like my video content, at least the short format ones, will make any lasting impacts or be remembered. While for my posts I have more hope that someone will revisit them as I do … I’m still surprised when the movie review I wrote of Hacksaw Ridge pops up in my analytics as my most read post of the month.
Cependant, je prends plus souvent le temps de relire les articles que j’ai posté ici que sur les autres platforms. Il y a une certaine impression que le contenu sera toujours disponible, alors que les vidéos se font tout le temps remplacer par la prochaine vidéo virale. Je me dis souvent que les vidéos de court format que je crée sur les réseaux n’auront aucun impact sur le long term. Alors que pour mes articles de blog, je pense le contraire … Je suis souvent assez surprise que ma revue du film Tu Ne Tueras Point reste assez populaire dans les stats de mon site.
Another point about blog posts being content that lasts longer than on certain social media apps is the fact that you’re not at the mercy of a website owner to keep your content alive (cc. Tiktok disappearing). Unless OVH goes bust (and even then), and as long as I will be paying for my web hosting services, this blog will remain alive on my term. That’s something that’s never negligeable, espeically if creating content online is your source of income!
Un autre point sur le fait que les blogs offrent un contenu qui dure plus longtemps, c’est le fait que je ne suis pas à la merci du propriétaire de mon site pour que mon contenu existe sur le net (cc. Tiktok shutdown). A moins qu’OVH fasse faillite (et encore), et tant que je continuerai à payer mon hébergemet web, ce blog restera en ligne tant que je le deciderai.
Additionally, someone on Twitter said that Substack and blogs will be even bigger in 2026, because people want more authenticity, fewer ads on the platforms they consume every day.
Is this realistic? I remember the period where blogs were generating as much money than what Tiktok, Youtube or Instagram is generating for creators today. For this reason, I do believe that we will naturally go back to the capitalism stage for blogs, but at least everyone’s attention span will have increased by at least 1minute at that point. Joke?
Je rajouterai que quelqu’un sur Twitter avait dit que Substack et les blogs seront encore plus à la mode en 2026 parce que les gens sont à la recherche d’authenticité sur les réseaux qu’ils utilisent tous les jours.
Est-ce réaliste? Je ne sais pas, je me rappel qu’à l’époque où les blogs étaient très populaires, les gens arrivaient à se faire autant d’argents que certains créateurs de contenu sur tiktok aujourd’hui. Du coup, je pense qu’on arrivera inévitablement à l’age de retour à l’age du capitalisme pour les blogs et tout sera à nouveau monétiser. Mais peut-être qu’au moins, notre durée d’attention sera plus longue grâce au retour des blogs.

]]>Cet article Touches of colour – Summer outfits inspo est apparu en premier sur Aboutnoemiel.
]]>Hi there,
Two blog posts in a few weeks – what’s happening to me :o … Nothing really, just feeling a bit more motivated at the moment!
Anyways …
I am back with two summer looks! I know it will come to an end soon, but September always have a way to surprise us by becoming one of our best (unofficial) summer month.
For today’s post I’m sharing outfits in which I incorporated a touch of colour. I feel that recently summer looks have become very neutral, we’re not getting from brands clothes with the bright colours like we used to back in the good old days (love talking like an old lady!). Also, people do not try to play with colour as much as we used to (Is everyone super sad??).
So here’s my two cents to the fashion community to help you create looks that use a neutral base (white), but also have of bit of punch to it.
#1 The tennis city girl
I bought this A-line skirt from Asos Design last year. I really like it but to be fair, it didn’t look as mini on the model as it does on me. I sometimes do wonder if we’re not buying to two different version of a product on Asos … anyway love the skirt and the sportsy look it gives. The top is an oldie from Zara, I absolutely have no memories as to where and when I bought it, I just remember that it must have been a sale item because I tried to find a size up and couldn’t. The colour was so perfect that I didn’t want to leave it in the store so I ended up buying it (unfortunately this is the story of a lot of my clothes … – to my biggest pleasure, not my bank account’s).
#2 Loving you was red
Red has been the colour of the season since last autum, so it’s only appropriate that I make it the perfect colour for summer as well, right?
The skirt is an oldie, but goodie from Asos and the ribbed top is from NA-KD. I feel like the turtle neck top kinds of elevated the style of this top and makes it less casual. It’s probably why it’s one of my favourite “tank” top to wear to work with a blazer it’s the perfect combination.
What do you think of these two looks :)?

]]>Hi There! This blog post is long due since this trip to Greece dates from June 2021. YES, 2021! What happened? Well, I had a busy trip, then moved country, started a new job with many activities and so on. I’ve finally edited all the videos related to this trip that you can now find on my youtube channel. Despite this trip being almost three years old, I still have vivid memories of the places I’ve been to and the emotions I was going through. I honestly thought that it wouldn’t be a good idea to share this content after such a long time, however, I realized that foremost I was doing it for myself (and also to empty my computer and iPhone storage).
Okay, so Greek Islands hopping – In this post, I will share with you, which islands to visit, where to stay, what to visit and where to eat. But also, share my budget. It’s going to be a long one, so be ready.
My budget
As mentioned in the vlogs, I did this trip after quitting my job and while waiting for a new one. This trip was supposed to be a parenthesis in my life during which I would spare no expense (and I did) and just enjoy to the maximum, as I knew I would not be able to enjoy this much time off before a long time (and it’s true).
Budget: 3,000 EUR (transport, accommodation, food and activities)
Duration: 17 days
Month: June 2021
Please remember, that this was a post/during covid trip, which means that some of the prices might have been lower than usual to attract more tourists and in a world without crazy inflation.
Itinerary: Athens – Heraklion – Santorini – Milos – Athens
Athens #VLOG
Duration: 5 days
I decided to start my trip here because it was a city I had already visited a few years before, it felt easier to have it as a base in the country, as I was traveling on my own.
I stayed at the Selina Athens Theatrou hostel – the hostel itself was nice and had a rooftop (not accessible during covid, unfortunately). I’d say that the neighbourhood wasn’t the nicest, but I’ve found one of my favourite restaurant there.
In my vlogs in Athens, you won’t see me do a lot of the usual touristic places as I had already done them during my first visit in the city. I’ll still include them in this blog post so you don’t miss them (in italics).

Grave of Níkos Kazantzákis
Koules Fortress
Agios Minas Cathedral
Kastella Seafood Restaurant
Last year I went back to Crete and spent more time on the island, I’ll write a post summarizing what can be done on the island soon.
Santorini #VLOG
Duration: 4 days
By far the most expensive destination of this trip, but also the most interesting. I had plenty of expectations with this island. Even with the covid restrictions it was the busiest part of my trip, I felt that the crowd was already huge for sunset watching so I don’t want to wonder what they look like now that normal travel resumed.
Thira was my base on the Island and I stayed at the Bedspot Hostel. It’s a super cute hostel with a lovely terrace to watch the most amazing sunrises and sunsets. I’ve also done the wonderful Fira – Oia hike, my first hike ever (the last one as well ^^) and WHAT A VIEW. Everytime I look back at the images of this trail, I just want to go back on the island. It was worth absolutely every step and suffering – please what the vlog to understand my feeling.
I didn’t visit anything in particular on the island, I mostly wander around the streets, tried to get the best views of the sea, have a look at the beautiful monument. I would just open google maps and tap on a random momument and go there.
Restaurant/Brunch:
Pitogyros Traditional Grill House
Rastoni Concept
Lucky’s Slovaki
Oia Gefsis
Volkan on the Rocks
Bars/Rooftop:
Sellada Beach
Volkan on the Rocks
PK Cocktail Bar
Milos #VLOG
Duration: 5 days
First of all, I’d like to stay that I will never never ever going to shut up about how much I loved my stay on the island. This island is just amazing and I wish I had pockets large enough to spend all my summer there. I do believe that my love for the island is also due to the amazing boat trip I done there and allowed me to discover the riches of Milos from another point of view. The island is walkable if you like to walk a lot, so renting a car is the best option (bus system is not entirely reliable). The eastern part of the island is only accessible with 4×4, as it is uninhabited, which is the reason why most boat tours are concerning this part of the island and also it’s the best way to see what there is.
Boat tour:
Beaches/Cultural visit:
Firiplaka beach
Papafragas cave
Archaeological Museum of Milos
Sarakiniko Beach
Catacombs of Milos
Venitian Castle
Restaurant/Brunch:
Astakas Cafe restaurant
Flisvos
Bars/Rooftop:
Aragosta Cocktail bar
Artemis bar
Athens
Duration: 2 days
This time I stayed at the Metis Athens Suite hotel which had a wonderful view of the Acropolis (I booked the rooftop room).
Places I went to:
– Ciel Athens
– GES shoes (for amazing leather shoes)
– Ble Papagalos

]]>Hello There! It’s been a long while … but happy to be back.
Lately, I’ve been intensively sharing outfits on TikTok and Instagram and I think it is my favourite content to create. I’ve been feeling inspired to create more content and let go of my high standards by realizing that I don’t need to post fancy outfits all the time. Everyday ‘fits can perfectly do the job! Surprisingly it did pick up well and I finally reached my 3K goal on the platform and I hope to grow even more this year.
A ma plus grande surprise, mon contenu est plutôt bien suivi et mes efforts m’ont permis d’enfin franchir la barre des 3K, j’espère pouvoir encore grandir mon compte cette année.
With temperatures rising up and down over the next few weeks, I wanted to share three looks that are great for this period. All these looks were styled with my chunky boots from Dune London, unfortunately, they’re out of stock but you’ll find plenty of similar models on the website.
En ce moment, les températures n’arrêtent pas de monter et de descendre et cela sera surement encore le cas sur les prochaines semaines. C’est pour cette raiosn que j’ai eu envie de partager des tenues qui seraient parfaite pour cette période, comme ont dit ‘En avril ne te découvre pas d’un fil!’. Tous les looks, je les porte avec mes bootes de chez Dune London, malheureusement, elles ne sont plus disponibles sur le site mais vous pouvez toujours retrouver des modèles similaires sur le site.
2. Long-sleeved sweater and silk dress.
Unfortunately, the silk midi dress is not available on the UK website anymore. I’ve found similar versions: X and X.
This was a hilarious outfit to shoot because I was right in the direction of the wind and couldn’t get my hair to stand still for a minute. At least, the dress looked way better with the wind flowing through it.
Malheursement, la robe longue en soie n’est plus disponible sur le site de Zara UK mais j’ai pu y trouvé des alternatives: X and X.
Prendre les photos de cette tenue fut assez marrant parce que le vent me soufflait droit devant et je n’arrivais pas à obtenir une bonne photo sans que mes cheveux ne se retrouvent devant ma figure. Le seul point positif c’est que le mouvement du vent sur ma robe rend les photos bien meilleures.
3. Skort and blazer.
Skort similar models X, X and X
Basic white tee
Leather jacket – NAKD similar X and X

]]>This déjà-vu feeling must have come from all the TV shows, I watched through the years set in The Big Apple. I was so happy when I could recognize some of the places I walked by from the show I used to watch. My eyes were big open and shining all the time.
I really enjoyed being there and I might have already planned a second visit to this lovely city. Hopefully, this time I’ll have more time to visit, my dear Soho (you have my heart) and Brooklyn.
In the coming weeks, I’ll post all my favourite food and drinks addresses and places to visit, if you’re there for a short period of time and want to make the most of it.
Peut -être que ce sentiment de déjà-vu c’était juste le fait d’avoir passer mon enfance, adolesence et vie d’adulte à regarder des séries basées à New York. J’étais si heureuse de reconnaître certains endroits iconniques que j’avais l’habitude de regarder à travers mes écrans. J’étais comme un enfant tout le long, les yeux pleins d’étoiles et grands ouverts.
J’ai vraiment apprécié ma visite dans la Grande Pomme et je suis déjà en train de planifier une nouvelle visite. J’espère que cette fois-ci, j’aurai l’occasion de prendre plus de temps pour visiter Soho, quartier dont je suis tombée amoureuse et Brooklyn.

C’est sympa si vous êtes dans la ville que pour quelques jours et souhaiter en profiter un maximum.
I wore this dress while I was biking around Central Park. It’s definitely not the recommended length of the dress to wear for this kind of activity, but I least I cycled with style. I paired this dress, with a cute half-moon bag from Primark. I’m pretty sure it is a dupe for a famous bag, but I cannot seem to remember where I’ve seen it before. Sneakers are my from Converse, my all-time fav shoes. I have to admit that the platform Converse are the worst one to walk. I don’t like the weird feeling I get while walking with them.
Alors, j’ai porté cette robe lors d’une balade à velo dans Central Park. Ce n’est évidemment pas la tenue recommandé si vous souhaitez faire une balade de ce genre mais au moins j’étais stylée en faisant du vélo. Mon sac en forme de demi-lune vient de chez Primark. Je suis persuadé que c’est le dupe d’une grande marque mais je n’arrive pas à me remémorer laquelle. Mes baskets, elles, viennent de chez Converse, ma marque préférée. Je dois quand même vous avouez que les Converse à plateforme ne sont pas mes préférées, je les trouve tellement pas pratique pour marcher avec.

]]>Cet article An early spring outfit est apparu en premier sur Aboutnoemiel.
]]>Hi there! Spring has sprung and this is my second post of the month! Yes, miracles do happen.
For this first spring outfit on my blog, I have decided to go for a more chic outfit as a celebration of this new season. I know it’s not a colourful outfit as I went for a black and white colour code. However, I can justify this by saying that we’re still at the beginning of this season and as we say “Till April’s dead, change not a thread“. In other words, it means do not go out in a mini dress and flips flops yet.
Je suis extrêmement ravie du retour du printemps. Rien que de voir le soleil plus souvent m’a déjà remis de bonne humeur et dans un cycle d’énergie plus positive. Je pense en avoir déjà parlé sur mes réseaux mais j’ai souvent un coup de mou en hiver et surtout cet hiver avec le confinement et la pandémie.
Pour cette première tenue printanière sur mon blog, j’ai décidé de porter une tenue plutôt chic afin de célébrer la nouvelle saison. Ce n’est pas vraiment une tenue très colorée au reflet des tendances mode de la saison, puisque je porte du blanc et du noir. La seule justification que je peux donner quant à mon code couleur est le fait qu’on est seulement au début de la saison. Comme on dit “En avril ne te découvre pas d’un fil“, ce qui veut dire qu’il fait encore froid même avec le soleil. De ce fait, il n’est pas encore temps de sortir les mini-robes et tongues.
Sweater: Zara – Satined Blouse: Zara – Shorts: Zara – Boots: Truffle Collection (via ASOS) – Bag: Kurt Geiger
My favourite accessory in this look is these knee-high boots bought on Asos. They’re from the brand Truffle which I have always liked to buy shoes from. The quality is always nice, models are trendy and shoes last for a good time. Unfortunately, this pair is sold out on the website but I link below some similar models.
Mon accessoire préféré dans cette tenue ce sont ces bottes hautes que j’ai achetées sur Asos. Elles sont de la marque Truffle, marque chez laquelle j’ai toujours apprécié d’acheter mes chaussures. La qualité est toujours bonne, les modèles de chaussures sont très tendances et elles durent assez longtemps. Malheureusement, cette paire n’est plus disponible sur le site mais je vous mettrais des liens vers des pièces similaires.
And you, what would be your perfect early spring outfit?

]]>Cet article My review of Estée Lauder’s complexion products est apparu en premier sur Aboutnoemiel.
]]>
Estée Lauder has been my favourite makeup brand for the best three years I would say, almost dethroning my love for MAC Cosmetics. Both brands belong to the same mother company The Estée Lauder Companies INC., thus in the end I might still use the same products but just under a different name. WHO KNOWS?
Anyways, today’s post is a small review of complexion products of the brand that I have been using regularly for my everyday looks.
Estée Lauder est l’une de mes marques préférée depuis les trois dernières années. Elle a réussi à presque détrôner MAC Cosmetics même si au fond les deux marques font partie de la même société-mère, The ELC INC. Du coup, les produits ont surement les mêmes compositions mais ce n’est pas grave, n’est-ce pas?
Dans l’article du jour, je vous donne mon avis sur les produits pour le teint de la marque que j’utilise régulièrement pour des maquillages de tous les jours.
Double Wear Foundation (SPF10)
Review
The foundation is very liquid for this reason I use a thick buffer brush to apply it, to retain most of the product and have a perfect and even application on my face.
The finish of the foundation is matte, which I like it as I have oily skin especially and tend to shine heavily on my T zone. In wintertime, the Double Wear Foundation is my best friend, as I usually sweat too much, because of the five hundred layers of clothes we need to wear.
The coverage is very natural and you do not feel like you’re wearing a foundation at all, as it is a very light product.
Le fond de teint est très liquide pour cette raison j’utilise un pinceau de teint assez épais, afin de retenir le plus de produit possible et avoir une application égale sur tout mon visage.
Le rendu du fond de teint est mate, ce que j’aime beaucoup car pour ma peau qui a tendance à facilement briller sur la zone T, c’est le produit parfait. En hiver, le Double Wear est vraiment mon meilleur ami parce que j’ai tendance à beaucoup transpirer (et briller) à cause des 500 couches de vêtements que l’on doit porter.
La couvrance est très naturelle et on n’a pas la sensation de porter du fond de teint, comme c’est un produit assez léger.
9/10
Double Wear Concealer
I don’t wear that much makeup anymore and I find it a bit annoying to go for a full face of foundation especially if some of it is going to end up on a mask. So, I found a great alternative to this I’m using concealers as “a foundation” and I get a pretty great result. Using concealers is just easier for everyday use at the moment and my skin does not have that many blemishes that I feel like I need to cover.
Je ne porte plus autant de maquillage et je trouve également très ennuyant de faire l’entièreté de son teint pour ensuite devoir porter un masque. Pour le coup, les concealers sont de très bonne alternative. Je les utilise pour faire mon teint et le resultat est génial. Utiliser des concealers pour les maquillages de tous les jours c’est plus facile pour moi, surtout que ma peau n’est pas tellement tachée et donc je peux m’en contenter vu que je n’ai pas besoin de forte couvrance.
Review
Both products are applied with a beauty sponge for a natural finish. I use the flat side with the 7N to cover my hyperpigmentation and the pointy side to highlight under my eye, it’s easier to apply a concealer with this side of the sponge on that are.
I am in love with these concealers. Like the foundation the product is quite liquid and light, that’s why the finish is very natural all the time. The concealers do not movie throughout the day especially if it’s well set with powders.
J’applique les deux produits avec une éponge beauté pour un résultat assez naturel. J’utilise le côté plat de l’éponge pour couvrir mon hyperpigmentation avec le 7N et le côté le plus pointu pour illuminer le dessous de mes yeux avec le 6N.
Je suis vraiment amoureuse de ces concealers. Comme pour le fond de teint les produits sont assez liquide et léger, c’est pour cette raison que le rendu est très naturel. Les concealers ne bougent pas surtout s’ils sont bien matifiés après utilisation de poudres.

Double Wear Powder
Review
I feel like powder is in general less oily-skin friendly, type of foundation. Especially, if you use a lot of material. That is why I mostly use it during the summer. When my skin is darker and I still want a light touch of powder to even my complexion.
It is not my favourite product out of the 3, and neither in general but, in its category, it is a good one.
J’ai l’impression que les poudres sont généralement moins pratique à utiliser pour les peaux grasses. Surtout quand on applique beaucoup de produit. C’est pour cette raison que j’utilise souvent cette poudre durant l’été quand ma peau est plus foncée et que j’ai légèrement envie de couvrir les imperfections de mon teint.
Ce n’est pas mon produit préféré parmi les trois et même de manière générale je n’aime pas trop les poudres. Mais c’est un bon produit dans sa catégorie.
