Burnt Orange jam : Panacea inspired look

I loved this tutorial to death ... I think it was fall trend orange cream something....I changed the look a little bit to make it more office appropriate and I am so gonna redo this look (with copper earings and orangey blush it was gorgeous !!!!)

Eyes :

Painterly Paint pot from MAc as a base (sadly TFSI is not working anymore (too old), I had it for more than a year and I had to toss it away although it was still half full ...or empty depending on your mood ;-)))

Dazzle light e/s (MAC) all over the lid

Chick e/s (NYX) all along the crease and up till 1 cm to the eyebrow

Africa e/S (NYX) in the crease, blended over Chick but stopped approximately in the middle of the crease (nothing from inner corner till mid lid)

Rust e/s (NYX) outer V and in the crease but just the outer corner

This look require a lot of blending , repacking the color so if you are in a rush forget about it !!!

Liner : Ardene liner in black not as a winged liner just to give the impression the lash line is more precise and a little flip at the end following your lashes' curve to give the impression the last one is longer (Not sure it makes any sense but I tried hahahah)

lower lash line : NYX jumbo pencil in milk topped with Dazzlelight for a better staying power

Mascara : Rimmel Sexy curves . I like this little guy but Gosh do I miss my Marcelle Volume precision mascara .... I made the vow to finish up my mascara stash before buying the Marcelle one as I know that if I rebuy the Marcelle one , the other are gonna stay untouched and they'll die of it .....

Have a nice Sunday !

a dark brown look for a contest ! Annabelle cosmetics

I did this look for a contest on facebook ! Not so happy about the result but it was so much fun ...

Here is group on facebook :Annabelle Makeup Junkies and the contest is under the banner strut your stuff

I've been using those e/s for a while and I love them : they fit in Mac palettes, they cost less than 4 CAD$ so each time I run into a pharmacy that carries them, I buy the colors I don' t own already ;-)

Here I used Foxy (that you need to use for the contest) : it is a beautiful matte brown that blends so well and Vanilla chilla (matte highlight) to blend and put under brows. I lined my water line with their liner (smudgeliner) in rich chocolate that appears really black on the photo but is more a very dark brown. I am definitively gonna repurchase the liner in other shade as it's creamy and stays put in my waterline (yeah !).

I like that they are having matte e/s shades (kind of rare in the cheap e/s section), plus the quality is there (no fall out and staying power is awesome) ...

I saw on their facebook page that they are releasing new colors : I need to head to the store to see that in person !

Hope you liked it

Revlon Midnight affair : navy blue on my nails

I want this one to work so much because I fear a black polish and I found that navy blue was easier to wear. But this one is so hard to work with : 1 coat is sheer and 2 coats take eternity to dry. I let the 2nd coat sit for a while (more than 30 min ) and as it looked dull, I wanted to add megashine from Sally Hansen. Eeeek, as you can see there is sort of a dent in my ring finger and it seems to be diluted by the Top coat.

I kept it for 3 days though, but I am not convinced .... I saw an Illamasqua one on the blog of short and sweet nails (see side bar for link : awesome blog !) and it looks so much better. Probably not the same price range though ;-))))

Have a good day (I am working night today, bouhou so I need to nap instead of blogging )

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 !)

bright green : monochromatic spring on my eyes !

I need Spring to pop in my life, I am sick of winter ! So I decided to bring brightness on my eyes and here it goes :

Eyes :

TFSI : primer

no base color

all over the lid : the paler green from the Riotous duo (HIP L'Oreal)

Crease : Wedge (MAC) to create some depth

Highlight : Shroom from MAC

Liquid liner with an art brush to be more precise : Ardene in black

lower lash line : Off white MUFE aqualiner toped with the same bright green from Riotous

Mascara : Rimmel Sexy curves

Brows : browzing from Benefit

Purple and brown eye : nice association !

I can't remember what I use for this one. I did it last week and my short memory is not what it used to be ...

Hope you like it !
