Somptuous olive dupe and true feline khol !

Ok so here's my look today : the pictures are crappy but the make up was nice, I promess ;-). I am very excited cause I bought some new colors from the faces cosmetics and I think I found a good dupe for sumptuous olive from MAC. In fact, I cheated, I swatched it on my hand at the MAC counter then I headed to the Faces cosmetics one and I compared...It's the same duochrome beetween gold and green and I love it....
Don't get me wrong, I still love MAC but I have a hard time with the customer service at my MAC (not saying that it is something general). I am kind of fed up with receiving superior glance when I enter the TEMPLE of make up and the bored answers to my questions : I was hesitating beetween 2 colors last time and the girl dump me in the middle of my question cause it was her "time out" : REALLY ???? So I picked up the feline khol and a 15 pro palette and went to the faces cosmetics instead....Enough blabbing about me divorcing MAC soon and this is what I used :
TFSI
GOSH waterproof e/s in Love that moss
Lid : The dupe of somptuous olive all over (faces cosmetics)
Crease and under the eye: Club (MAC)
Blending color : Humid (MAC)
Outer V : Print (MAC)
liner : Feline khol (MAC) set up with Print e/s (MAC)
Highlight : Shroom (Mac) and a pop of Vanilla (under the brow and in the inner corner)
Mascara : Sexy curves from Rimmel in blackest black if I remember well

Caro thinking leaving or not leaving (MAC), this is the question xxx

I've been tagged by Jen !

Here are the rules :
1. Post a picture from your childhood (less than 13 yrs old): Done !
2. Write about the picture : It was xmas and we were waiting for Santa Claus to deliver the presents (hence the angel face !)
3. Tag your friends and readers : hum, I have 13 readers for the moment so I'd say whoever wants to do it, is welcome. By the way , thank you readers, I love that complete strangers took the time to read my baby steps in make up (when I have a new follower, it makes me weirdly happy ;-))

How to fail a project 10 pans !

Ok so after the december craziness, I am back....I guess you're suppose to do bad things in december like shop like crazy, eat loads of food, drink too much and then TADAAAAAAAA it's NYE and you become a better person...
Hum, Hello , I did really bad ....In fact in october-november- december , I have been so good : doing a projetc 10 pans (you need to finish 10 products before buying ANY make up ) ...So the angels were singing when I was walking, because I did succeed (even finishing more than 10 products). And let me tell you, I was so proud of me (bragging on forum like make up geek, how good I was bla, bla, bla...)
But then I guess my dark side killed the angelic part of me during my sleep because ...Oh my (so much make up hauls in so little time is not normal !!!)
I had gift cards for Sephora and MAC and you would think I'd stick to the money on the card.....No comment !
So now I guess I can sing like Amy : they want make me go to (MAC) rehab and I say No, No, No
Sighs : I love make up shopping

LOTD : soft pink and purple with a hint of Vanilla

Pics are really bad... Sorry, but autumn light is pretty in reality but not forgiving for make up pictures !
I was looking so exhausted that day when I woke up that I decided to play it soft (the less , the better !)
Eyes : TFSI as a base, Milk Jumbo pencil from NYX as a color base, Vanilla pigment from MAC (inner corner and over the lid), Da bling (MAC) as a center lid color, purple from the HIP duo in crease and over a faces cosmetics purple pencil on the lower lash line (it added a nice pop of color !)
Brows : Benefit Browzing
Face : bad face day so no need to discuss this ;-0

NEw hair cut and bright teal on the lids

a fresh cut was more than needed for my very long and very tired hair ...Sorry , no close up for the make up, the lighting was really crappish (washed out colors). I did a big NO-NO or fashion faux pas if you prefer, matching top and make up but liked it very much ;-)
What I used from what I can remember :
EYES : TFSI as a base, Gosh (love that dolphin) as cream color on the lids, a Teal color from the faces cosmetics, Twinks from MAC as a crease color, shroom from MAC as an highlight, a NYX matte beige color to blend Shroom and twinks, my beloved mascara : Marcelle volume precision.
BROWS : Benefit Browzing in dark
LIPS : a NYX round lipstick (not sure but probably PARIS, ...Paris Oh Paris, I miss you sometimes ;-). And a buxom lipgloss in Trixie (I am about to finish this one and I love it . Will rebuy for sure !!!
Skin : my own combination of Revlon colorstay and Gosh foundations , Revlon bronzer in shade 2, Vanilla pigment as an highlight and a Coastal scents blush in some sort of baby pink color (don't know the name : was a sample received with my 88 palette and I threw the little bag away...)

My son's Birthday !

Just bragging (HAha). I did a train with cakes and Nutella with little passengers (From the Circus : Lions, zebras. etc...)
He was so happy ! But bad day for make up : no time ....
