A Lana Turner hair, JOTD and jealousy !

Jealousy, yes. I must admit I was burnt from the inside with envy when I saw a fantastic gold look on Meowmisu's blog. First, because she received gorgeous pigments, 2nd because her blending skills makes me look like a 3-year-old playing with make up Haha! So As I am a little bit masochist, I decided to try and copy the look which came out totally.... not like hers...My copper is too dark when she reached a stunning "liquid gold on my lid" effect. GAHHHHHHHHH (trying to reproduce the sound of the frustrated make up junkie, there ...)

I wanted to post anyway because I liked the swatch of Ceto (NYX round lipstick) on my lips. It's definitively a TOP 5 for me, I adore this color. I A-DO-RE this lipstick...

JOTD : can't remember where I picked the necklace but earrings were found in Casa Luca in Montreal. A little shop full of lovely surprises (even my wallet is surprised each time I venture there....Wallet sounding stunned : oh where did the money in my tummy went ?????)

Weight loss update : I registered both to the gym and a program to lose weight (the healthy way). I try not to starve myself but I am craving food...It's just been 1 week and a half ...And, I am supposed to go through 40 weeks (OH LORD !!!!!). My home scale showed 170 lbs on Monday the 1st of June. Today I was weighing 165.2 lbs (program scale) which is too much a drop to be true (but scales are different...I know but I want to believe in fairies !!!).

I am a fake bohemian !

I was inspired by Eden to do this look as she said that the Cranberry color from the Bohemian Sleek palette was melting like a dream into the purple. So I had to try ! I went out with some of my colleagues friday night so I decided to make it a little bit dramatic : thick eyeliner and false lashes !

JOTD : big earrings offered by my friend Cassandra. She said they were too heavy for her ear lobes and she gave them to me. Hello, babies (steamy voice)... Welcome to my family! My ear lobes could reach the floor, I'd still sport them as they are GORGEOUS (Cassie, you're my hero! Giving your goodies to adoption is such a noble gesture haha). The necklace is the charm taken from my Juicy couture perfume bottle (Viva La Juicy)

EOTD :
TFSI : primer
Bohemian sleek palette using the cranberry and the purple color
Wedge (Mac) to blend
Helium (Annabelle) : highlight
false lashes : Annabelle

Lips :
NYX round lipstick in Ceto

Skin :
Zebra bronzer (Annabelle) in little touch on the forehead, as a contour for cheeks and sides of the nose
NYX blush in Angel

Hope everything is going well for you all

Brown make up brightened up by blue !

I Really liked this reinterpretation of good old neutrals. Blue is sometimes a tricky (and scary) color to use ...But it does so much for brown eyes !!!

As I work in a conservative place, I think this is wearable but still is has it's own twist ....

So here are the products used :

Face : Revlon HD in nude (believe it or not , even though it's REALLY pale, I am even paler in reality so it gives me a little color. I am the forgotten sister of Casper the little ghost !)

Cheeks : nothing new under the sun : Vanilla pigment as an highlight (MAC), Angel blush (NYX), Revlon bronzer in shade 2 as contouring

Lips : MAuve lipliner (NYX), Ceto lipstick (NYX)

Eyes : TFSI as primer, Foxy (Annabelle) all over the lid, NYX blue color from the trio Aquamarine in the crease and smudged under the lower lash line, Blending color : Retrospeck (MAC), highlight color : Dazzlelight (MAC).....and the final POP : Reflect teal glitter from MAC cool capers set (holiday collection) over the blue color in the outter corner of the eye (best shown in the 2nd pic)

Et Voilà !
