NYE: GLAM Makeup & Nails!!

Hey gorgeous and Happy Holidays!! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas (if you celebrate) and are in good spirits, ready to ring in the new year!! On my end, I've enjoyed a much needed week off and am back today with a quick makeup & nails post just in time for NYE. I went for a clean, easy-to-replicate, glamorous look fit for a New Year's Ball or Gala. This makeup is simple enough to wear with a backless gown and an updo and is perfect for those of you who prefer natural makeup. I'll try to squeeze in another post on Wednesday focusing on high-drama makeup to go with your sequins dresses and glitzy soirees. Cheers!!

Chic Cool Makeup for Holiday Parties

Hey, hey beauties!! 'Tis the season for holiday parties, so I've come up with this chic work-appropriate look that can easily transition for the after-hour office shindig. I'm sticking to non-traditional Christmas colors for this one and opting for blue (I actually wore it to a Hanukkah party). Blue can be a bit intimidating to some people and not just for the office, but in general, however, it's actually quite flattering when sticking to matte eyeshadows. Read more to see what I mean :)

Nail Art: Winter-Theme

Hey dolls!! Mani-Monday is here and this week's nails are winter-themed. I drew my inspiration from the typical wintry classics: snow flurries, cozy sweaters, and silver icicles. I reinterpreted this theme in a graphic, contrasting free-hand style and used three polishes from China Glaze Twinkle Collection to execute this nail art design. This one is so me and I hope you get to try it!

Makeup & Fashion: Winter Tones & Layers

Hey beauties! It's official, the cold weather months are here, and as much as I'm not a fan of winter, the only thing that makes it bearable for me is the fashion and makeup aspect. The changing of the seasons is a good reason to try out new color combos and dressing styles, and I must admit, it makes me a little giddy inside. The focus of today's post is just that: cool winter tones and layering to fit the season. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts in the comments section!
