Everyone makes a mistake

Today I went to MAC after years, literally ages.. you know that shopping compulsion that occurs when you enter a shop..well.. I had in mind some things to buy but as usual I bought pushed by my feelings and not by my mind..
Then I actually bought one thing I wanted...a peach orange blush that yet I didn‘t own (sounds unbelievable I know) and a lipstick..despite my moratorium..

Let‘s go straight to the lipstick : Sheen Supreme in Fashion city

Just when I was walking out of the shop I realized that I might own already something similar and I was right, damn!! The culprit is: Cremesheen in Ravishing 

Ravishing on the bottom and Fashion City on the top.
My thoughts: As you can see they are almost the same!Ravishing is a little bit more pinky while Fashion city is more peach, orange. The finish is pretty the same, but still I cannot express my opinion since I haven‘t tried it for an entire day!


Melba Powder blush
My second matte blush from Mac. I love matte blushes, they are so natural and I think this color will be a must in my spring/summer routine. When the weather is hot you don‘t wanna look like a sparkling disco ball and matte blushes are a thumb up for me!

Here the swatch, on the bottom heavily swatched (bottom), slightly (top)

Tutorial: Leighton Meester inspired look

Hi everyone, today‘s look is inspired by a picture of Leighton Meester (Alias Blair Waldorf) that I love!
She looks gorgeous on that photo and I‘ve tried to reproduce her style, hair and make up.
This look has an Egyptian flavor to me but it can be used also on a daily basis...if you become fast enough to draw a perfect line at 7 in the morning when you wake up....

As you can see right now my youtube videos are just in Italian..
About this super messy kinda trilingual project that I have embarked on.. I am planning to do some tutorials in English..so stay tuned..and support!!!

Tutorial: the scent of fall

Today‘s tutorial is inspired by my mom!!!On saturday night she invented this make up on herself.. and I decided to steal her idea! She combined two colors that I love using in autumn and in winter: grey and raspberry (or better cranberry)...I think it‘s a pretty fast make up that can be used daily just with a touch of color that makes your day brighter! 
The cranberry color can be used also as a blush!!
At the beginning of the video I will introduce you another member of my family... I‘ll say no more..go and find out!!

The perfect color

I am obsessed by colors!!I can spend months looking for The color! And that‘s the case..
I have been looking for the perfect creamy color, not too yellow, not too white, not too shimmery or frost without realizing that it has always been there, right in front of me! That color that you can wear daily as an all over base or a highlighter...
I am talking about Mac Vanilla eyeshadow.. It‘s perfect! I don‘t know..I have been at a Mac counter thousands of times..
Have you ever had the same funny experience?


This can easily seem like a life metaphor.. sometimes what you‘re looking for is right there next to you!

When you first meet someone, you introduce yourself..

Good evening or good morning, it depends on the time zone..., nice to meet you, my name is Miss Serious Vanity, what are your names? 

I am a self made blogger and youtube guru who has not a plan yet but she‘s working on that...

My goal would be to create a trilingual (or more!) community, world, project (you choose) about my frivolous passions, that we girls all share: make up, beauty, potions and lotions!

But why trilingual? I am Italian but my first passion since I am seven are languages, travels and discovering the world in general.. I want to remove any language barrier now and invite everyone to stop by and have a look..
