JOTD : you know I'm bad, I'm bad, you know it !

As I told you before, Vicky , a colleague, wanted to get rid of "non trendy" jewelry. So she gave me loads of unwanted bracelets, necklaces end earrings...She found those items were too much "80's"....I don't think that it's a problem apparently ! So I piled bracelets like crazy : hubby called me Mister T all day !


Then, for the necklace, I got rid of all the "not so nice" items linked to the big silvery chain (big pink pearls, a cross and a weird circle). Then I linked the transformed necklace with another"plasticky" black necklace and tada new necklace ...


This is what you get as a MUA face when you let her play with 80's jewelry ! Sorry for the shiny face : end of the day !



Caro-80's were COOL xxx

Recreation of Jen's Pink and Black eye and nails : tea under a disco ball



Here is the link to Jen' blog and her beautiful look :
http://l1lmamaj.blogspot.com/2010/02/fotd-pink-eyebrows-lady-gaga-face-chart.html

But to the point :

Eyes :
Painterly Paint Pot (MAC) as a base
e/s :
Yogurt (Mac) inner part of the lid then Pink Candy (Ardene) all over the lid
outer V : Carbon (MAC) blended , blended and blended again into Shroom (MAC) as an highlight
Liner : feline khol pencil (MAC) only in lower lash line. I didn't line the upper lash line to make it softer
Mascara : Rimmel sexy curves in extreme black

Brows :
Browzing from Benefit in dark

I must share my love from Ardene e/s : they are creamy, pigmentated like crazy, they stay in place for ever. I can't believe they are so cheap and such good quality. If you are a canadian make up addict, go and grab those ! I bought Pink Candy and Tangorine lately and I will do a look with the beautiful Tangorine as soon as I can . It's a gorgeous orange color (probably a good dupe for Off the page from MAC)

Nails :
Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in grape idea : very soft tea rose color toped with ....
Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Strobe light (holographic glitter)

Hope you like it !

Fierce liner !


This look was a mix of 2 looks : one done by Miss Chievous (blue lagoon look) and one by Enkore (retro look)
I used an elf Palette (the one offered when you purchase Sigma brushes) : there are 4 colors from matte white to black with glitter.
As usual, I used TFSI as a base, NYX Jumbo pencil in milk, the white shadow as a lid color, the darker silver color as a line up my crease to create the retro effect, blending with the paler silver into the lid and highlight color. The sparkly black was used on lower lash line and to create an outer V on the lid.
Sorry for the quality of the 2nd picture : was obviously taken inside at night but it was freezing outside and the few pictures I took were blurry ....Plus my neighboors now think I am crazy , taking pictures of my eyes in my driveway :-0
