I replicated this look yesterday and loved how it came out. Had a lot of compliments too :-). Thanks for the inspiration!
My pleasure, Sonia! I’m sure you looked beautiful <3

Another gorgeous tutorial! I actually just picked this palette up so it was perfect timing! I did a look with it on my blog a few days ago, but I must say your skills far exceed my own! Lovely!
It’s such a fab palette at such a great price point 🙂 I’m sure your look was gorgeous!

Those lashes are so full and pretty! Thanks for sharing.
Some of my all time favourite lashes <3

Gorge as always, although I love your edgier looks the most.

Hi, Karima! Love this look, that wet n wild palette surprised me, it looks so beautiful! I’m wondering if you can do a face powder smack down? I’m having an awful time trying to find one that doesn’t look cakey. x

Hey Sophia!
Absolutely, I would love to do a face powder smackdown 😉 Will work on it!

Dear Karima,
I hope you can answer my question although actually it has nothing to do with this post (which is a pretty and valuable look as always):
I was wondering wether it is advantageous for the skin to use as few different brands or product series as possible or – in other words – if it does harm to the skin when the beauty regimen consists of products of different origin (like: cleansing oil = brand a, cleanser = brand b product series I, exfoliant = brand c, serum = brand b product series II, moisturizer = brand d…). I hope you get the gist, sorry for my creepy language skills ^^
I really trust in your knowledge in the skincare department! Thanks in advance!
PS: I cheered the fact that you dyed the ends of your hair purple like you have always dreamt! Looks incredible <3 You rule!
Hey Jana!
It is perfectly okay to use different brands within your skincare routine, simply pick what works for you, regardless of brand.
Haha the purple hair is so fun! It fades pretty quickly so I have to get some purple dye to keep at home!

Hello Karima,
I just wanted to inform you that, thanks to your enabling, I have made my first Rouge Bunny Rouge order! I purchased Abyssinian Catbird, Delicate Hummingbird, and Bohemian Waxwing and they each came with a free full-sized eyeliner — an Eye Kohl, Quartz Eyeliner, and Satin Eyeliner. I’ll also be receiving samples of a few of those beautiful looking loose pigments (I forget their names!) and some highlighters. They even threw in a jewellery tray, which is just too precious. Anyway, I’m beyond excited!
Cheers from the Québécois <3
Hey Hailey!
Welcome to the Rouge Bunny Rouge bandwagon 😉 Please report back and tell me what you think about the goodies! The eyeshadows are stunning <3

I would be really Interested in a review on the Ac On Tour, I know it runs very warm. But I would love to see what you think about it.
There is actually a contour shade that runs rather neutral! I love the palette, actually. I’ll review it in a post soon 😉
