The Bee-Yonce EOTD ...

Beyonce wore a fantastic eye make up on the "telephone" videoclip with Gaga. I didn't recreate it until I saw a similar look on Jangsara Facebook page that was too beautiful to ignore.

Brace yourself, full face with crazy hair coming soon !

Face :
NARS sheer glow foundation in Deauville
Maybelline blush in Original Rose
Annabelle Haute Gold bronzer to contour
Annabelle Amber glow palette as an highlight

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



It is said that yellow e/s should be avoided on brown eyes...But you know how rebel I can be (being a suburban soccer mum and all...)

Eye make up :
Base : TFSI toped with NYX JEP in Milk (inner corner) and Yellow (lid)
e/s : Matte white from Wn'W greed palette (fantastic pay off), Chick (yellow e/s from NYX), Wedge (MAC) in the crease, Divine Diva from Annabelle over Wedge (gorgeous plum color infused with gold...sadly washed out by my camera)



Liners :
Up : NYC black liner to create the cat eye effect
Down : Annabelle smoothliner in Green tease (dirty gold) topped with the same white e/s from the Wn'W palette.



Brows : NYX root beer e/s
lashes : Marcelle volume precision in black



Last pic is an attempt to a faux bob copied on the beautiful Maegan. She has amazing tutorials for long hair !

Have a wonderful day, lovelies ...

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 !

the Carrot and stick method and NOTDs

I am not sure my naked feet were a necessity but I felt like being an exhibitionist today !

NOTD (feet) : Essie red nouveau. If you want a true red (think firemen red AGRRR !), this is for you. I prefer darker reds but it's quite striking on my feet so I like it !

NOTD ( hands) : Joe fresh nail polish in pastel blue. The make has no numbers nor names so I decided to name it Cinderella blue. I bought 3 Joe nail varnishes last week and this is my favorite color of the bunch. My nails are awfully short and they still look awesome in that color. it's LOVE (plus it's cheap : 3 polishes for 10 $ YEEEHAAAH)

The Carrot and Stick method : For the moment I'll stay away for WW and their fees ;-). I decided that I was on a make up ban as long as I don't loose 5 pounds...But I keep the right to dream and I am starting a wishing list :

TFSI + kit of e/s (insurance policy)

Lipstick : rouge Coco Chanel in mademoiselle (Vanessa Paradis wants me to buy it , I can see it in her eyes ! Plus , she's Johnny Depp lover so she can be trusted .... She has amazing taste)

Nars sheer glow foundation (Lollipop26 is a dangerous woman !)

Annabelle bronze smoothliner in Bronze (Kokolaroo is a dangerous woman too...)

MUFE camouflage set in 02

Hum, that's a lot of 5 pounds off my butt !

Hope you have a nice Wednesday, lovelies

Don't believe the hype !

I love those videos on youtube....May be more than the raving ones because it saves me money ;-) So as I am a superstar of blogspot AND a big authority in make up , I decided to do my own post (mouhahahahah)!

here comes the list of not-so-loved but bought in a whim products:

Metrochic OPI nail polish : Don't throw pebbles, please! I am not saying that it's bad...It's ultimately fashionable, you always get a comment on your nails when you wear it (most of the comments : classy nail varnish and such an original color).BUT, I find it a nightmare to apply, it seems to shrink on my nails (?!!!). SO the formula is not worth the $$$ invested in my honest opinion ....

NARS Orgasm blush : Again, I know this one is praised all over the make up galaxy...It supposed to work on every skin tone...and be the most flattering flush of the universe...May be a peach-pink blush is just not working that well on me? It was supposed to be my everyday blush... Frankly, NYX Angel IS my everyday blush.

MAC Satin taupe e/s : again one of the stapple in a make up collection, it is said ...Well, first, I find it can be duped. Second, it can look muddy on the lid if overblended. Pretty? Yes ! Worth the hype? No !

MAC Feline khol liner : amazing black color, amazing staying power on my watery lower lash line....but such a mess, it smudges everywhere....I wanted so much to love this one and I still wear it because it's such an intense black liner but it is high maintenance and I don't want to rush to the bathroom every 30 min to see if I don't look like a raccoon....

MUFE aqua eyes collection : Those colors are so beautiful....on my hand when swatched...But, they don't want to stay on my waterline....BUMMER !

Revlon photoready foundation: I don't find the staying power to be impressive. Frankly, I prefer the colorstay for high coverage and my new find Annabelle Skintrue foundation for light coverage...Photoready will be used but mixed with other foundations to do the trick and I don't like complications at 7am ! Deception !

Bluffdust from Benefit : it is supposed to reduce the redness...Not working, looking powdery, expensive. I now use it when it is hot just dusted on my T zone...but again other products delivers better than that for a fraction of the price....

Voluminous mascara : not pictured there as I tossed it with rage. I HATE this mascara...I guess this is very clear hahaha

This post was inspired by Lipstick rules as she said sometimes she's so enthusiastic about a product and then : END OF LOVE STORY....I recognise myself so much in this !

Have a wonderful week end, lovelies and don't forget to enter my GIVE AWAY

Caro-love and hate relationship with her make up goodies xxx
