The Minnie mouse OOTD and a mystery solved !

OOTD :

H&M dress bought in sale : 20$ reduced to 17$ because the left strap around the shoulder was un-sewed...I found the dress to be too short so I released the hem and gained about 5 cm....and here you go , you have a work appropriate dress for less than 20 $!

Joe Fresh T-shirt and shoes : less than 5 and 10 S in sale

Opaque black tights.....

Gosh I love that dress : it will be perfect, worn on its own in summer !

JOTD : stolen from my 8-year-old daughter. Yes, I know, bad mum, bad, very bad mum ! (I also stole Halloween candies but only to prevent them from decays...See ! good mum !)

and TADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Juicy tuesday solved the mystery of Satin Taupe e/s for me ...It was always looking bleh on me : I was so disappointed because this MAC e/s is supposed to be perfection. Black base, kids, black base is the ultimate answer to your prayers...The look is not as good as hers because I had a 10 hour wear of it but go and watch her tutorial, she'll convince you (Plus she is Canadian, yeah !)

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

A satin taupe make up look and Holy Grail mascara

Hourrah (means how happy I am, for those not speaking french)! First EOTD in a week...My human face came back after 7 days of swelling and peeling. The dark days are over...I went for a subtle satin taupe look, slightly smoked.

Here are the products I used :
EYES :
TFSI as a primer
Gold NYX Jumbo Pencil as a color base
Satin taupe(MAC) all over the lid and in the crease
Wedge(MAC)in the crease and to blend in highlight
Helium (Annabelle cosmetics) as an highlight
Black random pencil for waterline from Personnelle (not very good by the way). I was searching an alternative to the Feline which sometimes fails to stay where I put it and ends up all around my eyes ...Very raccoon friendly...
Mascara : Rimmel Sexy curves in Extreme black . This baby is dying on me : starts to clump and flake. So I'm nearly finished with my project to use all the mascaras I accumulated. A few months ago,I have found my Holy Grail mascara : Marcelle Volume precision and there 's no turning back !
Brows : BROW-zing from Benefit in dark.

Side note : one of my lovely followers asked me if Annabelle products were sold in the US. So as they have a facebook page, I asked them (Am I not totally brilliant ?) and here is the link to order from them if you are US based:
