the Carrot and stick method and NOTDs

I am not sure my naked feet were a necessity but I felt like being an exhibitionist today !

NOTD (feet) : Essie red nouveau. If you want a true red (think firemen red AGRRR !), this is for you. I prefer darker reds but it's quite striking on my feet so I like it !

NOTD ( hands) : Joe fresh nail polish in pastel blue. The make has no numbers nor names so I decided to name it Cinderella blue. I bought 3 Joe nail varnishes last week and this is my favorite color of the bunch. My nails are awfully short and they still look awesome in that color. it's LOVE (plus it's cheap : 3 polishes for 10 $ YEEEHAAAH)

The Carrot and Stick method : For the moment I'll stay away for WW and their fees ;-). I decided that I was on a make up ban as long as I don't loose 5 pounds...But I keep the right to dream and I am starting a wishing list :

TFSI + kit of e/s (insurance policy)

Lipstick : rouge Coco Chanel in mademoiselle (Vanessa Paradis wants me to buy it , I can see it in her eyes ! Plus , she's Johnny Depp lover so she can be trusted .... She has amazing taste)

Nars sheer glow foundation (Lollipop26 is a dangerous woman !)

Annabelle bronze smoothliner in Bronze (Kokolaroo is a dangerous woman too...)

MUFE camouflage set in 02

Hum, that's a lot of 5 pounds off my butt !

Hope you have a nice Wednesday, lovelies

Last Saturday, my daughter was invited to a birthday party which theme was Halloween (I love kids for their ideas : Halloween in April isn't that awesome !). So we went for a Dracula costume and of course I did my girl's make up. I find it so fun on her face that I had to try on mine ;-))))

PS : Don't forget to enter my give away, little padawans

Rock star look/Raccoon (cute raccoon, of course)

So I guess I was in the mood of living a life of sex, drugs and rock n roll on Friday...Haha!

Eyes:
TFSI as a base
Foxy (Annabelle) as an all over the lid color
Feline Khol liner on water line and smudged as a not-so-clean line on the lid
Graffiti (Annabelle) to give some depth to the outer V

Don't you dare forgetting to enter my give away....

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 !

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

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

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

Dark colors and nude lips

I am such a lazy blogger ... I've been taking pics lately but would not bother publishing them so you're gonna find some looks that I did last week...
This one , quite dark : TFSI as a base, Gosh wateproof e/s in Love that moss under humid from MAC. Crease color : my beloved twinks and a random beige color to blend with the highlight color : dazzelight from MAC
Skin : a mix of Revlon colorstay in beige sand and Gosh Extreme wear in golden, blush (a pink sample from Coastal scents), highlight on cheeks, nose, chin : Vanilla pigment from MAC.
Very forest-like-look !
