This is gonna be the shorter post ever as I need to pick up my parents at the airport (Hourrah !). I could be a little bit MIA for 15 days coming as it's the only time this year that I will spend with them. I will enjoy every second with them so blogging me come at the end of my list of things to do for a while ;-)

GIve away on MUA !

I was supposed to wait for 50 followers...But I can't resist ! I started this blog to practice my english, to have my own little secret garden (ME-Myself and I hahaha) and I am so happy I did...I met so many nice persons in the make up world, I am amazed ! So, as It's just a guilty pleasure for me, I wanted to give back a little love, so without further ado, to the gifts...I wanted to give it a personal kick, so here we go :

Mascara : Marcelle volume precision in Black. It's my HG mascara : it's dark, it doesn't clump, never flakes. It gives length and volume. I could talk about this single item for hours ....
Eye liner : Annabelle smudgeliner in black. I personally never use the smudging tip because I use a pencil brush to smooth my eyeliner but feel free to do otherwise. I have this liner in brown and I swear by it because even though it's easy to spread it and to smudge it , it doesn't go everywhere (Can you hear me feline Khol liner ????)
Palette : It's just Annabelle colors and the palette to fit them in. I chose a purple color : Purple Reine (Who doesn't like purple....silence following the question), whipped (you need an highlighter in your palette and this one looks like a vanilla Chantilly !), Graffity (my favorite black of all times, a black infused with little sparkles), B-Ray (a classic navy blue which pigmentation is unbeatable)
Pigments: I sampled my own collection (part of it). Vanilla pigment from MAC (description not really needed I guess), Myth from Annabelle (a complex taupe color infused with holographic shimmer, it's BEAUTY), Violet Vibe from Annabelle (again, who doesn't like purple ???), Greed from Annabelle (a bold matte green color), Copper from GOSH (like liquid metal on the lids) and Rosewood from GOSH (a stunning red with a pink hue in it, like a Cranberry !)

To enter this INTERNATIONAL contest, you must :
- be 18 or older
- be a follower
- leave a comment as original as ENTER ME but You can be more classic and just say how fantasmabulous I am ....
- do all of this before the 15th of may at 24h00 in Montreal.

No multiple entries for lobbying for my blog on Twitter , Facebook or your own blog, just do it if you feel like it...But your love for me needs to be pure HAHA...and frankly, I don't want to make it something complicated (lazy, lazy....)

Good luck my lovelies !

Swatch time : Annabelle cosmetics obsession !

So after publishing the swatches of the new Annabelle cosmetics e/s I purchased, I realised how many I had left....They were sobbing in their palettes because they didn't received the fame and glory of the previous one so JUSTICE is done : here is the review....TADAAAA

FROM left to right : Snow flake, Vanilla chilla, Buff Naked, Sugar Dust, Metallic Meltdown (top of the triangle), So Foxy, Divine Diva, Silver, B-ray
I pictured them with flash (it's better to show the dark sparkly colors) and without flash (it doesn't wash out the pale colors). I just swatched the color that could showon my skin : Metallic melt down, so Foxy, Divine Diva, Silver, B-ray. Plus, I just have 5 fingers !

BEWARE (of the dog mouhahaha) : I am not sure of all the names. Why, why ?
1- because I am an old trout and my memory is not what it used to be (sad, sad !)
2- because the pans are not labelled at the back (but as a make up junkie, I am very proud to tell you I advised the company that it would be useful. Of course, they 're gonna listen to me (I AM SO POWERFUL WITH MY 25 FOLLOWERS : big voice !)....

Snow flake : pure white matte. Think Gesso(MAC).

Vanilla Chilla : Beige matte. I use it as a matte highlight.

Buff Naked : Beigy pink. I also use it as an highlight (I know, I have an insane obsession with highlight colors ...)

Sugar Dust : pretty, really pretty soft pink color with a lavender hue or the contrary ;-). This is love ...I use it with my purple looks in the inner part of the lid or to blend bright pink looks. As I said, I like it very much and the name is so cute !!(I say that with the voice of an excited teen !)

Metallic Meltdown : between gold and copper. A perfect color for a bronzey look. So flattering when popped in the liddle of the lid just to have the light to reflect above the eye color (dugh, not sure I make myself clear there...). At the top of the triangle because it's such an amazing color.

So Foxy : a creamy medium-dark brown. Probably the son of Expresso and Embark by MAC. I know this one doesn't seem that exciting but you need a medium-dark brown in your make up kit. It can replace a matte black in the outer V, it can be a crease color, you can dab it on top of your eyeliner to set it, it's fantastic smudged under the eye to create a rocker look without looking like a raccoon. Finally, it 's the e/s I used in a contest I won so I'll always love it till I die ...

Divine Diva : Plum color infused with gold glitter. The pale sister of Beauty marked (MAC). I could watch this color for ages on my hand. It is just BEAUTY.

Silver: I'll keep it simple : silver !

B-Ray : a dark navy color. Very pigmented, easy to blend (same consistency as So Foxy, kind of creamy for a powder, I know it's sounds weird !). I mostly use it as an outer V color for my blue looks.

I' ve done it ! IT was probably the longest blog message of the History !

Hope you enjoyed ...

PS : I paid those with my own money AND I am not objective : those e/s rock and I love them !
