Annabelle and her purple eye....

I had the chance, one day to be cited as the "author" of a sweet blog. The nice girl giving me a shout out said she liked to imagine my first name was Annabelle because I was using the brand so often in my FOTD that it defined me...So today, again, please don't call me Caroline, I am just Annabelle ;-)

Look at that and clean up the drool from your chins, ladies ! one swipe, no primer : the 3 colors on my fingers are rainforest, utraviolet and tutu. I didn't swatch Fantasy : the peacocky turquoise color because I didn't use it in my EOTD but My brushes are itching to try it ....

Next , full face with flash : products used for the face are:

NARS sheer glow in Deauville. Still on the fence with this one, the coverage and lasting power are perfection but it might be a little too yellow on me...

Maybelline Mineral blush in Soft Mauve

Annabelle Haute gold bronzer to contour

Mac prep and prime finishing powder to set everything

Very scary close up on my eye :

Primer : TFSI

e/s : Rainforest(Annabelle) in the inner corner , Ultraviolet (Annabelle) all over the lid, tutu (Annabelle) to blend, the beauty marked dupe from WnW to give depth in the outer V (Lust palette)

liner : Feline khol liner from MAC

Brows : Root Beer e/s from a NYX trio

Mascara : Marcelle volume precision in black

This pic is truer to the colors : there is a hint of fuschia in the ultraviolet that is just gorgeous...

Lips : Heather from NYX mixed with Gosh Darling (134)

Neck : H&M new scarf....love, love, love....

Last one, just to tell you that this look was inspired by Laurenisokay on Youtube. It is quite far from what she did but she is cute and talented so I often take some of her color combos as a base for my own look !

Have a good day, lovelies !

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 ;-)

A weird combo and the proof nothing stays on my waterline...

The first picture is absolutely ugly but I wanted you to see the point ! Nothing stays on my $%?&/$" waterline...This is a GOSH pencil and the color is so gorgeous, I hate that I can't use it properly. I tried the MUFE ones: same result. The color migrates into the lashes so you have the splash of color but nothing left on the waterline ARGHHHHHHHHH. The only ones that stays put is :

- Feline Khol from MAC but it smudges like crazy

- Annabelle smoothliner but I just have the rich chocolate one....So I am stuck with 2 basic colors and a whole bunch of crazy beautiful colors that I can't use ! END OF RANT !

Eyes : This weird combo is not a favourite of mine : the colors clashes against each other in an unflattering way. I should have limited it to pink (Hepcat from MAC) and green (Greed from Annabelle). But I'll learn from my mistakes

Lips : I am getting used to GOSH darling as long as I mix it with other lipsticks. I even offered a new one to my friend Cassie (the generous one that gave me her earrings) as she said she never saw a color that flattering a day I was sporting it ! And I said in a previous post that it was an over-rated product (silly, silly me !)

Have a wonderful week ladies !

Caro - waiting for your advice on pencils that "tatoo" the waterline ;-) xxx

Rock star look/Raccoon (cute raccoon, of course)

So I guess I was in the mood of living a life of sex, drugs and rock n roll on Friday...Haha! So I tried this edgy, rocker chic look...At first, while blending the brown color all around my eye, I was thinking : Gosh, I am gonna end with a raccoon look...But finally I think it came out quite fine !

Eyes:
TFSI as a base
Foxy (Annabelle) as an all over the lid color
Feline Khol liner on water line and smudged as a not-so-clean line on the lid
Graffiti (Annabelle) to give some depth to the outer V
Helium (Annabelle) as an highlight color
Mascara : Revlon double twist (dying on me so sorry for the messy lashes!)

Skin :
Annabelle Skintrue Foundation in medium beige
Revlon bronzer in shade 2 to contour
NYX Angel blush

Lips :
GOSH darling lipstick
NYX mauve lipliner
Annabelle Gloss in breathless

Earrings : It's a Do it yourself !!!

Glasses : So what I am still a rock star, I've got my rock moves and I don't need YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU (PINK)

Caro-yeah-yeah-yeah xxx

Don't you dare forgetting to enter my give away....

SOTD, JOTD and failing !

So I decided I'd be creative today
SOTD : Shoe of the day
JOTD : Jewelry of the day

SOTD : Before having a slight little problem with make up addiction, I had a shoe-bag addiction...I have some attacks of shoe bulimia from time to time and it stroke this week end when I met those panther shoes...Hubby made a face when he met my new babies (the kind of horrified face your mummy made when you did a big fashion NO-NO when you were a teen...). But luckily, hubby is not my mom and I don't listen to anything negative he has to say about fashion (poor baby, he is just a man after all !). I wore those little marvels with large black pants, a big fluffy shirt and a tiny black leather coat .....Big glasses, yeah Rock n roll Baby !

JOTD : I "unplugged" the little charms from my bottle of Juicy couture perfume and put it at the end of a gold chain....Pretty, isn't it ?

FOTD : weird face of the day from your favorite blogger...The kind of face I do when I am disappointed with a new buy : GOSH darling lipstick...The FAMOUS 134...that is hyped all over the make up globe...and makes me look like a corpse...I need to do a post : DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE like the videos I like on Youtube!

Hope everything went well for you on this monday
