Oh I won't be your dirty fucking little secret!

   So today, I wanted to share with you guys a song that once again (when it comes to Garbage) I feel it had been written for me. So I'll post you the link and the lyrics. Enjoy!


The lies lies lies
You love those lies
You tell them straight
Straight to my face
They feel so right
They keep you safe
And you're so...

Good at it
Oh it comes automatic
Lies more lies
I can tell they're lies
I can see right through
You have see-through eyes

Knocked down, drag your name out all across the town
I won't be your dirty little secret
Not for you, not for me, not for your other lover
I won't be your dirty little secret

Oh men like you keep me up at night
You want your women at home
And your bed on the side
You've got a telephone girl that you carry around
In your jean back pocket with her very own sound
And you're so...

Sly about it
Oh it comes automatic
Yeah, you're so good at it
A systematic habit
Sly about it
Oh it comes automatic
Yeah, you're so good at it
A systematic habit

Knocked down, drag your name out all across the town
I won't be your dirty little secret
Tell your mother, tell your brother, tell your friends, tell your teacher
I won't be your dirty little secret
I won't be your dirty little secret

Automatic systematic habit
Automatic systematic habit
Automatic systematic habit
Automatic systematic habit
Automatic systematic habit
Automatic systematic habit
Automatic systematic habit
Automatic systematic habit
Automatic systematic habit
Automatic systematic habit

Knocked down, drag your name out all across the town
I won't be your dirty little secret
Not for you, not for me, not for your other lover
I won't be your dirty little secret

Knocked down, drag your name out all across the town
I won't be your dirty little secret
Tell your mother, tell your brother, tell your friends, tell your teacher
I won't be your dirty little secret
I won't be your dirty little secret
I won't be, I won't
I won't be, I won't
I won't, I won't
I won't be
Knocked down

Did you say colour block?

   Hi everyone,

   I hope you're doing fine. I'm joting down something quick in order to show you the look I created today. It had been a while I wanted to do a colour block look, and the weather this week fit so perfectly that just couldn't resist the urge to create something different than my everyday neutral looks. :)

   Feel free to tell me what you think about it and to ask me what I used for this look!




   So have a great time and talk to you very soon! =)

Le come back

   Salut salut et tout ça tout ça,

   NON, vous ne rêvez pas : Lisa (oui, Lisa, pas "je") poste un article, ici-même. Comment ça, "on n'y croyait plus"? Allons allons, trêve de bêtises car tant qu'il y a de la vie, il y a de l'espoir que diable!

   Je m'excuse ceci dit pour la longue absence, mais entre les examens, le déménagement, et divers éléments du quotidien, je n'avais ni le temps ni franchement l'envie d'écrire quoi que ce soit.

   J'espère que tout le monde va bien et que vous passez un super mois de juillet sous la pluie (mais non, je n'enfonce pas le couteau dans la plaie... je m'évertue à voir le bon côté des choses!). En attendant, voilà vite fait une espèce de mise en bouche de ce que dont ce blog devrait traiter prochainement, ainsi que le kiff du moment (ouais, vous y avez eu droit en 2011 alors c'est parti pour la version 'fin juillet 2012')!

   Doooonc, si tout se passe bien et si ça vous intéresse... j'ai dans l'intention (j'aime cette expression) de papoter un tant soit peu de beauté (surprenant, je sais), de mes dernières lectures du moment et éventuellement de Dark Shadows, que j'ai vu au ciné il y a trois plombes (je sais, je sais). Il faudrait que je me documente un peu plus sur cette histoire de Randy Blythe incarcéré en République Tchèque afin de pouvoir écrire quelque chose de plus ou moins potable à ce sujet... wait and see darlings! 

   Tant qu'on parle de ce cher Randy, le kiff de l'instant (oui, je ne dirais quand même pas que ce serait celui de l'année... d'ailleurs j'écoute toujours autant Garbage que l'an dernier, donc bon) c'est Lamb of God justement... et Walk with me in Hell surtout. Je trouve que musicalement, ce morceau est excellemment bien construit et très bien équilibré. Et il y a ce petit quelque chose qui prend au tripes, tout en apportant une lueur d'espoir via le chant, les paroles et certaines mélodies de guitares. Je vous laisse donc le lien à la suite de ces mots et vous dis à très bientôt!

   N'hésitez pas à me dire ce que vous en pensez, à me dire quel est votre kiff du moment ou de l'année peut-être, ou de me dire comment ça va, depuis le temps!

Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman

   Hi everyone,

   I hope you're doing great. My exam session at university has officially started; I've already taken five out of twelve, sooo this means I still have seven to sit. Cross your fingers for me!

   Today I'm gonna write about a whole range of brushes that litterally changed my life (who said I was a drama queen totally got me right)... Ladies and gentlemen (why not?), please welcome the Real Techniques brushes, created by the well-known Sam Chapman from Pixiwoo.

   Basically, every single brush is made out of synthetic fibres so you can play with every texture with ease and über quickly. This is also great if you're standing against cruelty towards animals as far as beauty products are concerned (honestly, I try to be as much as I can... but if I really like something, I'm afraid that I won't take that fact into consideration and will buy the product anyway. Feel free to tell me your opinion about beauty products that are cruelty free, do you care?). The brushes are extremely lightweight so if you have to travel with them (which you can since each kit is sent into his own brush case), you won't feel burdened by a ton of heavy brushes.

   I'm truly in love with these brushes. To give you an example, the quality is as good as high-end brands brushes such as MAC... but you can buy from three to five Real Techniques brushes for the price of a single one at MAC... interesting huh?

   So, I strongly recommend these brushes to you. The pricetag is great and the quality is perfection, with these brushes, you will be able to achieve some gorgeous looks! :)

   Here are some links where you can actually buy the brushes :

   Tell me, what brushes do you use on a regular basis?

   Talk to you soon! :)
