Did you know that pythons can eat up to 50% of their own body weight in one meal? Then they retreat to a warm spot where they snooze for a couple of days while digesting their prey… Well, I very much feel like a python right now.
After eating 50% of my own body weight for 3 days in a row, I am now in my own warm spot (on the couch under a blanket), drifting in and out of sleep with Netflix in the background (by the way, I’m watching a show called ‘The Americans’, which is about two Russian spies living in the US during the Cold War, in the 80s. I highly recommend it!).
Since I figured many of you will probably be in a similar comatose state, today I thought I’d only share a short and sweet post about my New Year’s Party look.
I decided to go for something that was a little 20s-inspired using black kohl and a dark red lip liner. I applied a soft black eye pencil to my waterline (top and bottom) and smudged it along the lash line (again, top and bottom) and up towards the crease, which I then blended out with Wanderer from the Tartelette Palette. After subtly sculpting my cheekbones with Marc Jacobs #InstaMarc, I finished off by applying KIKO Rebel Romantic Intensely Lavish Lip Pencil in 06 Melodious Wine.
Did you guys have a nice Christmas? How’s your digestion going? And what are you doing for New Year’s Eve?

December 26, 2015 at 7:59 pmThank you, Agata, it’s good to hear from you! 🙂 I’m doing something very similar on New Year’s, but being Italian, there’s also going to be a lot of food involved, LOL!

December 28, 2015 at 6:30 amOoh, sounds like you had a great Christmas! There was definitely lots of yummy food involved for mine as well, and I’m still stuffed haha 🙂 I seriously love your New Year’s look though, it looks good but it’s also simple! I should do that too, since I’m set to go to a concert so a heavy looks is probably not the smartest idea haha.

December 30, 2015 at 6:48 pmTrust me, I don’t have gorgeous skin, at all! I just use very good concealer 😉 Oh, and it might also be the Chanel Perfection Lumière Velvet Foundation I was wearing. Despite being matte, it reflects the light in a very flattering way!

December 29, 2015 at 10:49 amLove this New Years Eve party look and that was basically me as well. We threw a Freindsmaskah (friends Christmas Hannukah) here in Berlin and basically ate our body weight in food and dessert and then had left overs for the next few days. I definitely can see my bad actions on my stomach so time to hop in the gym haha.

December 29, 2015 at 9:35 pmI also feel the same way, too much food… more than my body can ever take! All I want it being lazy constantly 🙂 Such a beautiful New Year’s eve makeup look and great lipstick pick. I will probably be wearing something similar.

December 30, 2015 at 9:10 pmSo beautiful! You look gorgeous with this makeup, and the subtle contouring suits you very, very well. I also overate for Christmas, so much chocolate and cheese… I’m trying to eat mostly veggies now.

January 1, 2016 at 1:05 pmYou look fantastic as always, Carol! I love the simple yet glamurous look!
My digestion is similar to yours right now, I’m in a stage in which I’m wondering that if I stop eating from now on, I will still be alive because all the food I’ve been eating these days hahaha.
Happy New Year! I hope you have a great day! xx
