Michelle in a Nutshell

So, I recently stepped into Manor (a department store in Switzerland) with the sole plan of picking up the Chanel bronzer. Well, as fate would have it, the MAC counter is right behind the Chanel counter and I naturally gravitated over to check out some products. And the rest is history, obviously.... ...

Today I've got a haul for ya'll! (I'm a poet, I know...) ...

This, my friends, is my lovely new bag by the brand JUMP. ...

The other day, I ventured into The Body Shop on my lunch break on a mission to purchase three items... I ended up with seven - so surprising, I know... ...

I've gotten into using more natural skincare products lately and bought some things from Lush (see my haul here) and from Korres.  ...

Isn't it purrrdy? *sigh* Okay, so, the first time I read about this particular planner was on Elle Fowler's blog. ...

Well, I was at the MAC counter again...twice *shameonme* but I did get a few gorgeous items and have already used most of them! ...

I have a few new makeup products to share with you - yay! ...

I discovered the Jo Totes website randomly while reading through blogs a while ago. I was in the market for a laptop bag so I checked out the website and since then I've acquired not one, but two of their lovely bags! ...

Since I've been having some annoyingly bad skin lately (hello, am I 15 or 25 years old?!) and I'm running out of my current Michael Todd True Organics skincare rotation, I thought I'd finally go for it and buy my whole regime from Lush Cosmetics. ...

Hi everyone, I'm back! I've missed this little blog of mine :)  My 10 day vacation was absolutely wonderful and I really enjoyed the time away from the computer and internet. But obviously, I'm glad I'm back to wi-fi and my laptop ;) ...

On December 5th, 2013 the first Inglot store in Switzerland opened in the Löwencenter in Lucerne! ...

I'm really into trying out various foundations at the moment. I've had some crazy breakouts in my chin area (you damn hormones!) and this has moved me to find a better full-coverage foundation. In my last foundation post, I tried out the YSL Youth Liberator foundation. I liked it, but I feel like the coverage wasn't as high as I expected it to...

Drumroll please.... it's MAC HOLIDAY HAUL time! Woo woo! Okay, my excitement may be a teensy bit over-the-top but come on, the collections are just so beautiful. Here's what I picked up at the MAC counter in Lucerne: So pretty... *stars in eyes* *drooling a bit* Sorry for the crappy pictures in this post but I unfortunately had to take these under normal...

Welcome to my first instalment of the little series "Venice Haul" following our weekend in Venice from Nov. 1 - Nov. 3. Coming up soon: makeup haul and travel diary in photos :) We stayed in a hotel in the area called San Marco. This is the city center and where you can find the Piazza San Marco where the famous Basilica di...

A couple of weeks ago I happened to stumble upon a Clinique counter, once again. Oopsy. Well, I was in the market for a new mascara since I wasn't really happy with my current Maybelline The Rocket mascara which I was just finishing up. I once had tried out the Clinique High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara and really liked it so I wanted...

Well hey there! Long time no talk :) I've been quite M.I.A., yes, but I suddenly felt the need for a blog post today since there's so much talk about fall fashion. Some of the trends according to glamour.com: winter whites, classic patterns, over-the-knee boots, turtlenucks (ew), shades of green, slouchy pants, statement outerwear, folk-inspired pieces (huh?) and rounded shoulders. Here are some...

Hi guys! Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day yesterday and TGIF!! Am I right, am I right?? A few weeks ago I was at my local Marionnaud (which is a Swiss perfume / high-end cosmetics store) and I saw a display with a few new Estée Lauder products. This item looked gorgeous on the stand and screamed BUY ME! (my wallet was...

Hi everyone! It's the weekend - woo woo! It's a beautiful, sunny, winter Sunday today and before I go enjoy the sunshine, I thought I'd write a post since I didn't write one yesterday :( Here is the second part of my recent Etsy order. If you haven't read the first part, click here :) The first item in this post is this...

Hi guys! It's Sunday morning, I'm sitting in the living room, freezing my butt off and watching snowflakes fall outside. I have such a love/hate relationship with winter! ;) Anyways, I have made a few purchases from Etsy lately and I want to share two shops with you! If you don't already know what Etsy is, check out my post January's Five Faves....
