Happy New Year! 2019

Happy New Year my wonderful friends! I wish you all the very best this year. I can’t believe how fast December went. During December I slowed down on the blog a bit because I was vlogging daily on the Vlog Channel which was a very big challenge but it was so much fun.

I had the opportunity to volunteer at my daughter’s school, visit a few lovely places like Ripley’s Aquarium and worked with the amazing Marketing Specialists at Scarborough Town Centre. My girls came a long with the journey and loved it! It’s been an adventure!

I received lovely gifts from family and PR that I’m truly grateful for. I hope you received everything you asked for as well.

Here are my absolute favourite PR Gifts.

Avon earrings, eyeliners and nail polish.

Beautiful ECOTOOLS makeup brushes from Farleyco Beauty. Thank you so much! They are so soft and lovely on the skin.

A stunning Lamp Berger Paris Lamp. A beautiful journal to go with it. I adore Lampe Berger! The lamp eliminates cooking odours and smells so wonderful. I have one in every room.

I love Flexitol Lip Balm. Thank you to Farlico Beauty for sending me this fantastic Lip Balm. It’s amazing and my lips are hydrated and ready for this cold weather.

FarleyCo Beauty sent me Flexito Happy Little Bodies Eczema Moisturizing Lotion and Relief Cream for my girls. We love them!

Thank you for all the incredible PR samples. I’m truly grateful and I appreciate everything. I always love to feature PR samples that I love and use.

Do you have plans for the New Year? I like to write down goals and try to work my way to achieve them but I also like to move with the flow and not pressure my self. I like to do things that make me happy. I also like to challenge my self with projects. I don’t know what 2019 has in store for me but I pray that my family is healthy and happy.

I wish you all good health and happiness my friends. I pray that what ever you do, be good to your self and be kind. Would love to hear all about your Holidays and what your New Year plans are.

Thank you all for visiting my blog today and I wish you the very best!

Happy New Year! Wishing you all a beautiful and magical 2019!

Much Love, Bestdayblogger

CHANEL Métiers d’art 2018/19 Paris-New York

Métiers d’art 2018/19 Paris-New York show was held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In this blog post you will see backstage beauty images and a selection of images with Lucia Pica, Global Creative Designer for Makeup and Colour at CHANEL, who did the makeup for this show.

Lucia Pica describes the makeup for the show as “fresh, graphic and tells the story of the collection.”

“The inspiration was clearly Egyptian and I wanted to give a more abstract futuristic feel. The black and white are the beginning of colors, blue and gold were picked from the collection as per Karl Lagerfeld’s request. I proposed a few looks and he really liked the feeling of the one chosen for this collection.” Lucia Pica

“I used the PALETTE ESSENTIELLE for a fresh yet flawless face. I applied the eyeliner with LES PINCEAUX DE CHANEL Eyeliner Brush, through back and forth movements to get a strong black effect and finish the end into a very thin line to give the impression of movement.” -Lucia Pica
