NOTD : let me see your blue ...

NOTD : Resist and shine Titanium in 731. I chose the pic to show you how stunning it is on the bottle , can you see the metallic blue flash ? Sadly, it is not to be found on my nails...It is just a beautiful very dark blue (that under some lights looks plain black). The application was so easy (I am taking a break from my pastels !). With 1 coat, it could have been enough for some nails...I did 2 to make sure it was all even. It is supposed to last 7 days : We'll see !

Weight loss update :

I was 170 lbs on my personnal scale monday the 31 of May

I was 165.2 lbs on the program scale on Thursday the 10th of June

I was now 162.2 lbs on the program scale on Wednesday the 16th of June

The responsible of the program told me I was losing lbs too quickly so too slow down a little bit. I have to agree with her as I feel pretty exhausted. I try to work out 5 days a week and my calories intake seems too low to compensate...But I am happy as I wanted to lose 1 lbs a week and reach 5 lbs lost on the 30 th of June. I already reached that goal and exceeded it and we're just the 17th....

So I am gonna treat myself with a little present for all the energy invested !

Blue smokey : colors and base !

This post is gonna be about how a color base cream can change your make up look ! As you can see from the pictures, This is a BLUE smokey....Well, I was supposed to do a GREEN smokey that day...How come when you put an Emerald like color as a cream base under your powder GREEN e/s, you end up with blue ! I probably haven't listened well in primary school when I was taught about the colors...
I already did a post about base with the Club look I did before but Club(MAC) is a duochrome....The color I used from the Storm Sleek Palette is a very dark green...I have no clue of what happened there but it was pretty so I accepted my fate ;-)

Eyes:
TFSI as a primer
HIP liner in TEAL (I see Emerald green but may be I am just color blind...)as color base
The GREEN color in the Sleek palette
The soft brown color in the Storm palette to blend in the crease
Helium e/s (Annabelle) as an highlight (How surprising !)
Graffiti e/s (Annabelle) as an outer V color : I absolutely adore this black e/s with blue looks, it's perfection !
Mascara : Telescopic from L'Oreal ...The last one from my stash before I can OFFICIALLY re-start my HG Mascara and You 're gonna be so sick of hearing me raving about it !!!

I hope you liked it and if you understand the blue-green weird thing, I am all ears !

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 ?
