Caribbean seas, Mrs Pepperpot and her bun

EOTD : inspired by my tank top...I know the Queen of heart will decapitate me over the unthinkable : She matches her make up with her cloths !!!!

I made a funny experiment : I used Shimmermoss from MAC under my eye, then I mix colors from my sleek palette to achieve the same color in the outer V...Can you tell the difference, I can't ! Sometimes, we obsess over a color we want so badly and with a little bit of blending and mixing, we can produce the exact same color so the same effect, no ?...

I used a matte white from Annabelle (which name I can't remember) on the lid. It's comparable to Gesso (MAC). Eyeliner : MUFE flesh color from the set of aqua colors pencils. Mascara : L'Oreal Telescopic....

Why the Face ? I was told by a colleague that with my bun, I reminded her of Mrs Pepperpot. OK , She was a nice cartoon (old) lady helping everybody but not exactly the description of GLAMOUR. If you are too young to know who is MRS Pepperpot :

1- I hate you just ..because you're too young

2- Go and google it to estimate the level of Glamour (I'd say 0.5/10)

So instead of a classic bun, I did a twisted one to prevent me from ever looking like Mrs Pepperpot EVER AGAIN !

JOTD : very easy DIY earrings. Those beads were part of an old necklace that was totally destroyed. I kept all the beads and save those big ones for pendant earrings...

Have a nice day, lovelies...

Re-inventing the wheel and other marvelssssss

The nice people from ....AHAHAHA don't you love it when a post starts this way ??? It makes me cringe ! Anyway...The nice people from Annabelle cosmetics (I had to do it guys, I feel goofy tonight !) sent me a bronzer a few weeks ago. I was still very pasty white and it was way too dark for me. I was soooo disappointed as if you read my blog you know how much I love their products...So I decided to wait a little bit longer for my skin to turn creamish instead of white and ...it was still too dark for me .....So I decided to use an old Revlon bronzer palette (I hit the pan on this one ) : I mixed my Annabelle bronzer with the crumbled Revlon leftovers, added a good amount of my Annabelle powder foundation (pale beige) and 70% Alcohol. I put everything in the little compact , let it dry one night, pressed it firmly and TADAAAAAAAA, a custom color : sort of a cappuccino one that fits my skin tone.

Swatches on my arm :

1-original Terra : Annabelle bronzer

2-mineral foundation : Annabelle

3- my shade !

EOTD :

Expensive pink (MAC) : lid

Wedge (MAC) : crease

Helium (Annabelle) : highlight

Black liquid eyeliner (Ardene)

L'Oreal telescopic mascara

no FOTD, I looked like a panicking rabbit caught in the lights of a car ( very funny though but I'll keep those hidden to save my perfect image of sex appeal !)

a Brazilian EOTD and Silver JOTD

EOTD : I wanted something bright and summer-ish to help me bare the fact that I was working indoor all week end long while the sun is shining outside....So a little bit of a kiwi color on the lid (from a HIP duo : riotous) and in the crease : Nymphet e/s (Annabelle). Gosh e/l in Pretty Petrol.

JOTD : again , fabulous earrings from Ten Thousand Villages . I saw on their website that they have a store in MTL : yeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaa !

Caro-not chatty tonight (exhausted by work !) xxx

The day I saved my mani...

Don't you like dramatic title? I feel like the producer of a big bad movie who's gonna make lots of $$$ with poor acting but loud music and tons of special effects.

Anyway, let's concentrate and go back to my sad mani. Yesterday, I was sad to discover that my Zoya Jordana was not meeting my expectations...So with a vengeful hand, I decided to Konad it. I started with a red Zoya : Isabel which looks raspberry pink instead of red. I was a little bit disappointed by the lack of contrast, then I read advices from Suzie and Short and Sweet Nails : they told me to Konad it dark. So I reached out for my Resist and Shine titanium (732 : very dark purple, looks black with flash of purple when alone on the nails) and again I konaded !

The result is quite pretty I think, messy but nice ! What do you think ?
