Hi there everyone,
First of all I must apalogize for being so bad at updating my blog ... I know I'm useless -_-' !
I hope you'll all forgive me 'cause I've got 3 looks to show you in the same post ... ^_^
Sorry, I don"t really remember ALL things I used to create theses looks but they are rather simple anyways ...
LOOK 1 : "Lime green and vibrant purple !"
I looove this look ... it looked so intense and beautiful in real life ... unfortunately I only have 1 picture to show you :
I used :
- vex as a highlight
- eyepoppin' on lid and "wing" shape
- nocturnelle in the crease
- parfait amour under the eye
- fascinating khol on waterline
- glma'eyes mascara from Rimmel
- Guerlain eyebrow pencil
- Feeling BP blush

- bourjois "stretching denim" en creux
- non conformist fluiline as liner
- pewterpink glitterliner on top

Grey/blue eyes and fun coral/pink lips !
I absolutely loooove the color combination of the eyes and lips/cheeks ! I think it looks really flattering on a pale skinned girl with blue/green/grey eyes like I am ^_^
I'm really liking the cool pigment set of the 2007 curiositease collection ... lovely colors and it's a great way to complete your pigment collection for a rather reasonable price !
Downside now ... I'm super disappointed by the way the pictures turned out ... you can't really see the differences between the colors on the eyes, it looks like it was all mixed together wich is sad because IRL it was well blended but not "blurry" like this ! -_-'
Anyways ! Hope you'll like it even if it was 10 times better in person ! ^_^

Purple/blue matte eyeshadows & purple glittery lips !
I loooove bright eye looks done with matte eyeshadows but I don't really feel confortable to play with them yet.
However .. . I decided to be brave and to do a bright/fun look with some MakeUpForEver eyeshadows that have been slipping in my makeup case for waaay too long ! ^_^
This in only a very simple look ... I just wanted to do a cute little makeup for summer/spring ... still spicing it up a little with a very glittery jewel-toned pout !!!
Hope you'll enjoy !
