English Version | “I shop, therefore I am” - Barbara Kruger

Tell me which lipstick you wear, I’ll tell who you are. Well, it may not be exactly like that, but the truth is that the Beauty products we keep on our shelves say a lot about us. Is a product worth a thousand words? Our selection says so.

“Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.” - Gwyneth Paltrow

Much has been written about this wonder product, so there aren’t a lot of new ways to say what may already be obvious to most: in doubt, wear red lipstick. Even though there can be many colors, none will ever give the same feeling as red does. 

“Thank God for Redbull and fake eyelashes.” - Jeffree Star

People say that an early bed-time and an early rise are the key to success, but let’s face it: we cannot have our Beauty sleep every single day. Luckily there are many ways to revert the consequences of that and Jeffree Star knows how. In reality, there’s nothing a good pair of fake lashes can’t fix. 

“Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty.” - Coco Chanel

It’s better to prevent than to fix. We could say this about various situations, but in anywhere does it make more sense than when it comes to skincare. A cared for skin is a happy skin. And for that we already know that the sooner, the better.
