a blue rusted look and a discovery ...

First pic is totally random but it's for Meowmisu. I said that I saw I look that would look stunning on her but of course, it was while browsing the internet that I found it and I couldn't find it again. So the 1st pic from Annabelle site gives a good idea of what it looked like but it was more plumish ....

2nd to 3rd pic : my EOTD and FOTD for yesterday....I used a bright blue-green color from the faces cosmetics and I blended it into a rust color (NYX). It looked really pretty in reality as the blue-green color is changing when you look it from different angles. On my lips, Heather from NYX, a nice pink-neutral color with a brown hue.

Discovery of the day : As you know I registered in a gym. I decided to attend spinning classes. It looked so much fun : you bike and you burn calories... Well, I should have known better : since when burning calories is FUN ? I nearly died of heart attack ! My god I am so out of shape, it's not even funny. I was still a beautiful red color 1 HOUR after the end of the class...I must admit though that it is a good way to sweat, so I 'll go again probably on monday ....Wish me luck !

Margharita lips, JOTD and sunset eyes !

I was inspired by the beautiful Dulce Candy on Youtube to do a sunset eye. A little less dramatic though : no false lashes and no black liner. It was still very glittery and metallic but it doesn't show properly in the pics. I tried to picture my face in the bright sunshine but I was making crazy faces so they are not really publishing-able .....HAHA

EOTD :

TFSI as a primer

NYX Jumbo pencil in Gold as a base color

Copper pigment from GOSH on the lid

Rust e/s from NYX in the crease

Helium from Annabelle as an highlight

a plum from the Faces cosmetics (number unknown) over the waterline and in the outer V to give some depth. A MUFE pencil in a plum color on the waterline...

Lips :

NYX mauve lipliner

NYX Margharita lipstick (from the tube it's scary orange but quite sheer on the lips so no clown effect...Oups, I hope not !)

NYX sheer gloss (orange too , no name found....)

JOTD :

earrings done by me ...An old necklace that I dismembered to do those Chinese little lanterns...Not really lanterns but I don't know why, it makes me think of those big red paper balloons that you can see in some Asiatic movies ???

I was asked by 2 blogger friends to do some TAGS : lovely violet and OMsNazO . Thanks lovelies, I'll be working on it ;-)))

Have a beautiful night full of shooting stars and crazy dreams

Soft Plum : how to picture soft EOTD ???

So yesterday, I looked tired so to fight back I decided to play low key make up...I am not that good a photographer so I had the hardest time trying to picture my EOTD. When a look is really soft, I doesn't show well on the camera. Any advice , ladies ?

Eyes :
TFSI as a primer
NYX lavender Jumbo pencil as a color base
Sugar dust from Annabelle all over the lid and to brow bone
Plum color from Faces cosmetics in the crease and outer V
Buff naked (Annabelle) as an hignlight color
L'Oreal telescopic mascara
MUFE aquapencil in plum (can't remember the number) under the waterline and in the outer corner to give some depth

Face :
Skintrue foundation (Annabelle) in medium beige
Revlon bronzer in shade 02
Angel blush from NYX

Lips :
Mauve lipliner (NYX)
Paris lipstick mixed with B52 lipstick (both NYX colors)

JOTD :
Anne-Marie Chagnon jewelry : my Xmas present from Santa-hubby-Claus. I adore what she does, she's a Montreal artist and she is so talented !!!

Hope you have a fantastic day and don't forget to enter my GIVE AWAY!

NOTD : Plum attraction from Revlon

I am so terrible at applying nail varnish ....But anyway, here is my favorite nail polish ever : Plum attraction from Revlon (762). It is my third bottle...it is my everyday color on my nail cause even though it's dark, it is very office-appropriate (I think !). It is easy to apply (2 coats are enough) and the streaks you see are my fault (I put the top coat when the 2nd coat was not already dry....sigh : patience is NOT my 1st quality !)

Sally Hansen nail polish in flirt : swatch

So another swatch from my growing collection of Xtreme wear from Sally Hansen : this one is called Flirt and it's a deep burgundy colour. As said before, those gems are impossible to beat in terms of quality/price. I tried a silver one a few days ago and it was as if I was wearing liquid metal on my nails : gorgeous....I think I like Flirt even more than my beloved plum attraction from Revlon that I kept on buying each time I finished it. Convinced ?
