Moonrise | Sunset Makeup Look - Nabla Cosmetics Moonrise Eyeshadow & Soul Blooming Palette - Juvia's Place Nubian 3 Coral - The Body Shop Matte Clay Foundation - NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Rome - Paris & London Makeup Artist & Beauty Blogger

It's been a very long time since I last did makeup looks I was really happy with and I posted less of them because I wasn't confident in myself or in what I created but also because I was a bit lost in what my blog should be like. I wanted a mix of fitness, makeup, food, travel, books... Everything I enjoy every day in my busy life ! And that's why the blog has been renamed It's Azami instead of Azami Makeup - I love it much more that way and I feel I'm free to write whatever I want here now !

Juvia's Place | The Festival Palette Review & Swatches - Avis Test Revue - London Paris Makeup Artist - Beauty Blogger - Masquerade - Nubian 2 - Nubian 3 - Magic - Afrique - Tribe

Hear, hear - here's to one of the very best eyeshadow palettes Juvia's Place has ever produced, the Festival Palette - cruelty free as the previous ones. Find me a palette with a petrol blue or something close (like The Tribe Palette, ughhh *.*), some bright mattes that are pigmented AF, and a mustard yellow and hiiii, I'll be there !

I could very well have just written "This is a great palette" and be done with it, but I knooow I'm one to love reading details when I'm on a blog post so here you go -

Train with me at Shaun T Trains Europe in Paris | June 8, 2019 - Paris Makeup Artist & London Blogger - French Fitgirl Fitness - Water Fasting - Extended Fasting - OMAD - Intermittent Fasting - Jeûne intermittent France - Tania the Machine - Insanity - Transform 20 - T25 - Hip Hop Abs

♪ While I was writing this post, I listened to Way Down We Go by Kaleo. Try it !

June 8, 2019 will be forever engraved in my memory because it's a day that changed my life. I have been training with the famous fitness trainer of the Beachbody Insanity programs, Shaun T, since I was 11 years old. My very first best friend, an American woman called Candace, and one of the sweetest women I still hold very dearly in my heart although I haven't seen her in years (I love you, girl), made me train almost every day I was seeing her and mostly, it was Shaun T. I can't remember exactly which workouts I would do, maybe some from Hip Hop Abs, maybe T25, although I don't even know if they were released - that was thirteen years ago...!


Grounded Coffee Company London Halal Full English Breakfast | Aldgate East - Beef Sausage - Vegan - Vegetarian - English Muffin Crumpet - Peanut Butter Cookie - Best London Restaurant Review - Travel - Paris London Makeup Artist Food & Travel Blogger

It's very fortunate that I take a lot of pictures when I travel, that way when I miss a city, all I have to do is share some more things I've loved about it with you like nature or art or the restaurants. From the last time I went to London in May, I still have maybe 5 or 6 posts about Places to eat to prep and show you guys and that's making me very happy !
What Happens If I Fast For 3 Whole Days ? | Intermittent & Extended Fasting - Jeûne Intermittent - One Meal A Day OMAD - Azami Makeup - Paris London Makeup Artist MUA

After a day loaded with particularly heavy, rich food two weeks ago, on Tuesday, I decided to go on a several-day fast in the evening. I have been reading about Intermittent Fasting for some time now and I've been practicing One Meal A Day fasts for a few weeks. But I've also been very interested in fasting for a few days at a time because I know that there are next to no risks for my health and even, there are many benefits to doing that.
M.A.C. Cosmetics | Retro Matte Liquid Lip Colour Tailored to Tease Review & Swatches - Avis Rouge à lèvres liquide mat - Beauty Blogger Paris & London Makeup Artist

Now here is my very favorite lipstick from M.A.C.. Tailored to Tease. And I got it for free at work ! I don't think there's anything better than free, quality makeup, is there ?

Working at a M.A.C. flaghship, I spend a lot of time trying on all our lipstick shades and every week (understand : every day) I'll find a color that is my "new favorite color ever of all times in the whole wide world". I've got a lot of shades of our classic, bullet lipsticks and I always arrive at work with bare lips so I can try something new that day. Usually, I've got a new favorite color for about one or two weeks and then I naturally move on to a new one. Lately, I've been crazy about Blankety which I don't own yet but that can be worn with any shade of lipliner and still look amazing - next buy !
Santini's Ice Cream Lisbon Porto Review - Avis - Meilleure Glace Lisbon - Best Ice Cream - Best Chocolate Cake in the World - Lisboa - Lisbonne - Travel Blogger

One of the highlights of my Lisbon trip back at the end of March was definitely Santini's. Of course, I really, really enjoyed the dozens of Pastéis de Nata that I mostly got from Nata de Lisboa, the best place on Earth for pastéis it seems to me, BUT my boyfriend's cravings for ice cream led us to try a place called Santini's and it occured to us pretty quick just why this place has been an institution since its creation in 1949, so much that when I talk about this place back in France to people who live in Lisbon, they all nod in agreement with excited voices.
Inglot Cosmetics | Matte Red Lipsticks 408 409 429 Review & Swatches - Avis Rouge à lèvres - Comparison Comparaison M.A.C. Dupes Ruby Woo, Russian Red, Red Rock, M.A.C. Red Satin

A few days ago, I wrote about the two Inglot Matte Lipsticks that a customer over at M.A.C. gave me to try and those two lipsticks quickly became my very favorites, being super matte and transferproof - at least for the two shades I had. They also triggered the purchase of a whopping thirty other shades of the Inglot matte lipsticks - and yes, there are some that I didn't get ! Fortunately, I have a makeup artist discount ; I dare not think what the price would have been otherwise.
Sugarholic : More Sugar, More Sugar, Never Enough Sugar.

I'm back to my old habits. I'm trying hard to stay away from sugar. I've already written some thoughts and feelings about being a Sugar Junkie a few weeks ago and I need to share how bad I feel about sugar and processed foods.
Inglot Cosmetics | The Matte Lipstick 405 & 411 Review & Swatches - Avis rouge à lèvres mat - MAC Whirl Dupe - MAC Soar Mehr Dupe

Before we dive into this post, let me tell you straight away : there will be reviews of other shades of these matte lipsticks that Inglot has in their collection. Yes. I love them so much that I have gotten 20 other shades from the permanent collection as well as the 10 shades that they have in the What A Spice ! collection. And if they'd had more shades I was attracted to, I'd have gotten them all too. Does this set the tone to this review ?
