Coucou!
J'ai beaucoup de nouvelles pour vous, parce que ces dernières semaines ont été très occupées. Premièrement, j'ai commencé l'université, qui a été....intéressant. Je ne suis pas sûre si c'est indicatif de toutes les universités françaises, mais L'Université de Tours n'est pas capable d'organiser une bonne descente dans une cave à vin! J'ai passé la première semaine du semestre en assistant aux CMs et les TDs qui n'ont pas eu lieu, et j'ai assisté à mon premier cours le premier jeudi. La salle je l'un de mes TDs étaient changé deux fois avant le TD, mais quand j'y suis arrivée, il y a eu trop de gens, donc il a fallu changer le salle deux plusieurs fois. Aussi, dans un autre TD, la salle était trop petite. A cause du fait que je suis une étudiante ERASMUS, je ne suis pas inscrite aux cours, et donc, je ne suis pas dans les listes de distribution. Apparemment es changements de salle et d'endroit sont communs ici, donc si vous lisez cette article comme un étudiant ERASMUS futur, pensez à envoyer les emails aux profs pour lui dire que vous existez!

Year Abroad #2
Coucou!
I have lots of updates for you guys, because I've had a super busy couple of weeks. First off, I started university about 2 weeks ago, which has been....interesting. I'm not sure if it's indicative of all French universities, but this place could not organise a piss up in a brewery. I spent the first week going to scheduled lectures that didn't happen, and only managed to get to a lecture on the first Thursday. For one of my seminars, the room and time was changed twice in advance, but as too many people showed up to the class, we had to move room another two times; and in another seminar, people had to sit on the floor because the room wasn't big enough. Because I'm an ERASMUS student, I'm not registered on any courses yet, and so, I'm not on any mailing lists. Apparently, extensive room and time changes for lectures is really common here, so if you're reading this as a prospective ERASMUS student...make sure you email your lecturers and seminar leaders to let them know you exist!

Le Rouge Volupté Shine de YSL
Je l'ai acheté dans un haul de Feel Unique, sur lequel j'ai écrit il y a quelques semaine, parce que j'ai entendu parlé les verdicts positifs, et aussi parce que l'emballage est trop mignon. J'ai acheté la nuance Fuschia In Excess qui, d'où le nom, est fuchsia et vif! Je voulais un couleur pour la transition entre l'été et l'automne, et je pense que celui-ci est parfait! Les Rouge Volupté Shines sont les rouges à lèvres émollients qui prétendent de boucher l'hydratation pendant 8 heures et aussi protéger les lèvres des radicales libres. Quelles grandes affirmations de YSL!

YSL Rouge Volupté Shine: Review
I bought this in a Feel Unique haul, which I wrote about a couple of weeks ago, because I had heard really good things about the Rouge Volupté Shines, and because the packaging was so irresistible. I bought the colour Fuchsia in excess which, as the name suggests, is beautiful bright fuchsia colour. I wanted a nice colour to take me from summer to autumn, and I think that this does the job perfectly. Rouge Volupté Shines are glossy, moisturising lip sticks (sort of like the Chanel Rouge Coco Shines, but also a bit different; more later) which claim to seal in moisture for up to 8 hours, and protect the lips from free radicals. Big talk from YSL right there.

The Starting Off Project - Week 3 : Foundation
I took a week off from The Starting Off Project Last week, as I don't wear concealer, so I don't know enough to provide useful information to a beginner. However, this week's topic, foundation, is one that I know a fair bit about.
Foundation is a skin coloured cosmetics product which is used to create an even coloured complexion. The Ancient Greeks were the first to apply a version of what is now foundation to their faces. This trend, that often consisted of applying lethal mixtures of white lead powder, animal fat and other ingredients to the face, continued until the early 20th century, when Carl Baudin of the Liebzieger Stadt theatre in Germany created a flesh coloured concoction made out of zinc, ochre and lard to conceal the join between his wig and his forehead. Although the formulation of modern foundation has changed drastically over the past 100 years, the basis of theatrical make up still stays true to this original recipe.
You can get a number of different types of foundation, each of which is suited to different skin types. The three basic types are cream, liquid and powder, but this article goes into more detail click!

Le Projet Au Début: Semaine 3 - Le Fond de Teint
La semaine dernière, je n'ai pas écrit une article pour le Project Au Début, parce que c'était au sujet d'anti-cernes, qui je n'utilise pas, donc je sais pas assez pour partager les infos utiles aux débutants. Cependant, le thème de cette semaine est le fond de teint, sur lequel je sais plus d'infos.
Qu'est ce que c'est le fond de teint?

Bonjour à tous!
Si vous lisez mon blog régulièrement, vous saurez que j'ai juste commencé mon année à l'étranger à Tours. À partir d'aujourd'hui, je suis ici depuis deux semaines. Pendant le premier semaine je suis restée avec mais parents dans un appartement de vacances, mais j'ai emménagé dans mon propre appartement le samedi!
