disco ball mood : EOTD , LOTD


EOTD with flash : Silver smokey.the outer V is washed out, it was darker in reality.
Annabelle silver e/s all over the lid
Annabelle Graffiti e/s in outer V
MAC Wedge e/s in the crease
Annabelle Helium e/s as an highlight
MAC feline khol liner
Marcelle Ultimate lash mascara in Navy

Same eye but pic taken outdoors : a little less glittery !



LOTD (lips of the day) : NYX power lipstick, my staple lipstick when I do strong dark eyes.

no FOTD : on the pics I was so shiny , I thought it could hurt some sensitive eyes. So as I don't want to damage some retinas, I censured myself !

Have a nice Sunday evening everybody !

April's favorites ? All time favorites reviews !



So As I had a post about hate yesterday...I decided to be full of love today! So here are my favorite products. Don't get too excited, though ! Nothing is brand new, nothing is limited edition. It is just products that :
1- I use on a VERY regular basis
2- Never disappoint me
3- I will repurchase once finished

LUSH big shampoo : Short and sweet nails is the one to blame here....She speaks highly about LUSH, so I had to take a look and came back with this strange E.T shampoo made of salt. For 1 month, I've been using it 2 times a week with the RETREAD conditioner on my very damaged long hair. What a change !!!! Shinny hair, where were you during all this years ? I was used to buy shampoo on sale as I use tons of them, but I'll be happily spending my money again on the combo retread-big once finished....FANTASMABULOUS !

Juicy couture perfume : May be you can't recognise the bottle as I decapitated the charm at the top to make it a necklace (isn't MUA a crafty girl ?). I did the same to my Viva La Juicy bottle (Don't bother, I did that to my Barbie dolls once a kid, it 's kind of a tradition too me !). Those 2 fragrances smells gorgeous. I prefer the original version but both smells amazing. Both are really girly perfumes so if you want more mature scents just go away , they are not for you !

Favorite lip combo : the weird and purple-pink Power from NYX topped with the Sephora gloss in precious pink: swatched there. It's the nuder I can go on my lips without looking like a corpse...The gloss has a strange and very strong scent though, so swatch it on your hand if you head to Sephora cause it can be overwhelming.

Favorite mascara : Marcelle Volume precision. This mascara is perfection : it elongates and gives volume. It never clumps even if you layer it over and over again. It's holy grail material...But you know that if you read me on a regular basis and this is why , I put in in my give away...to share the LOVE !

Favorite powder : Annabelle powder foundation. this is a mineral foundation , so on my lazy days, I just put my primer on (Monistat chaffing gel)and spread the powder over it with a flat top brush. The coverage is awesome for a powder foundation...The other way to use it is dabbed over my liquid foundation as a setting powder with a Kabuki brush. As I said in a previous post, I received compliments on my skin last month...Each time, I was wearing this powder ! Coincidence ? I don't care ! It became a staple product for me as soon as I made the connection...You can see how it works there. The girl is pretty good to explain but the guy holding the camera is sneezing and coughing all video long, it makes me laugh...(I am easy to entertain!)

Favorite e/s : Graffiti from Annabelle. A stunning black e/s infused with sparkles.Easy to blend, perfect in the outer V to glam a smokey eye. It is given in my give away too and swatched there. In fact, I love all Annabelle e/s ...

Hope this will be helpful for my Canadian readers. For the US bloggers, come across the border, we are fun people and we have great make up. For my European lovelies, Canada is wonderful to discover in summer (hollidays anyone ?)

Caro-raving about her goodies xxx

PS : disclaimer : The Annabelle powder was won in a contest so I didn't pay for it...but I will repurchase if I run out so it qualifies to my rules at the beginning. Marcelle is a cosmetic brand affiliated to Annabelle. And Annabelle sent me free products to review (Still following me ?). But, I purchased this mascara with my own money and will continue if big authorities have nothing against that (Capiche ?). Annabelle e/s were also purchased with my own money...I swear , spit and everything that this review is honest !

NOTD : Cheetah print and favorite lip combo





Lips : my favorite combo ever
Lipliner : NYX Mauve to contour and all over the lip
Lipstick : NYX round lipstick in Power (a pink with a purple hue)
Lipgloss : Sephora lipgloss in precious pink

NOTD :
NYX secret as a color base
Sally Hansen black out to do the prints with a Konad plate (M 57)

My poor nails are really short. It seems that I neglected them a lot lately as I could not paint them so they broke, split....I need to give them a little more love !

EOTD : a very simple eye with a wash of gold-brown all over the lid , a little grey in the outer corner and a white highlight under the brow bone and in the inner corner. Very TiffanyD on youtube !

Tonight my hockey team is playing for the 2nd part of the play offs. GO , HABS, GO !!!

Sunset eye with a sleek palette : colorful look !





The Sunset palette was the one I haven't tried yet ...So here it goes ! Sunset look with the Sunset palette : how appropriate ! I grabbed my Bohemian and Original palette too for the purples in the crease. It was bright , let me tell you. Ii was my day off so I could experiment with colors. The issues I had were with the blending again : I find those colors are really difficult to work with but the look was rewarding so I guess I can live with that.
I used NYX Jumbo eyepencil in Yellow as a base color

I hope you liked it

Sleek palettes EOTD : Blues for a belgium girl !




I received the 4 palettes from Sleek make up I ordered online. And of course, I had to play with those...

Eye :
TFSI as a primer
no base color
e/s :
LID : from the Storm palette : the dark blue and dark green from the bottom line blended together then I patted the bright blue and bright green from the upper line of the Original palette ( Yes, you can see that I played with my new toys !)
CREASE : the fantasmabulous rich chocolate e/s from the Storm palette (last color on the upper line )
Highlight : Vanilla (MAC)
liner : Rich chocolate liner (Annabelle)
Mascara : the abominable Revlon double Twist. I know I made the vow to use up all the mascaras I bought before repurchasing my HG mascara ( Marcelle Volume Precision)...but frankly, I don't know if I'll be strong enough ! I battled 10 min to make this PASTE look normal on my lashes and the brush is ridiculously huge : i could brush my teeth with this thing ....

Hint for the title : the lady behind Make up and Beauty musings challenged me a while ago to use more blues on my brown eyes. I was not so sure I could make it look wearable so that's what prevented me from trying...But I saw her own creation and they were stunning but still classy! So I dove into the Blue and I must say that I loved going out of my comfort zone....

What color scares you to try ? Are you fierce and wear whatever you want or do you stick to neutrals ?
