Holiday Glam

Ho Ho Ho! Can you believe we're only 184 hours away from Christmas? This whole year has been an absolute blur of amazing-ness, I can't believe it's almost over... especially since I'm the worlds worst procrastinator and I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet but I'll get there! There are so many things that I love about this time of year. The Christmas movies, sprinkling my Christmas obsession from one end of my house to the other, baking + spending time with loved ones, and of course the events. I decided to put together a few of my favourite looks to wear to any get together you may have over the holidays! I started with my go to, the classic holiday glam- red lips and clean bright eyes...but I did however pop a little glitter in there to give it a sassy twist and I just loooove how this look came out. I'm wishing I had a party to attend tonight but instead I'm drinking hot chocolate out of a mug that says I'm on the naughty list in my over sized pyjamas :) Lets get into it...

the face



What I used...



Face...

Primer: MAC Strobe Cream
Foundation: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in Light Beige
Concealer: Maybelline Age Rewind in Fair             
Powder, Highlight + Contour: Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit
Blush: MAC Gingerly

Eyes...

Primer: MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre
Eyeshadow break down: I used the Lorac Pro Palette for all my shadows. I wanted to create a subtle cut crease so I used Taupe on a medium size fluffy brush as my transition shade, then using a small pencil brush I applied Sable, following the natural crease of my eye then I lightly blended the two upwards together. On my brow bone is White and all over lid colour is Cream. I haven't used this palette in a while and it is bombbbb! I then lightly applied Black on my lash line and buffed it out. On the lower lash line I used Sable and blended it out with Taupe
Waterline: Gosh Truly Brown Pencil
Glitter: NYX Glitter Liner in Gold- this did not show up great on camera but this pop of glitter was gorge in person! 
Mascara: Marc Jacobs O!Mega Lash Volumizing Mascara
Lashes: Ardell Whispies

Lips...

Liner: NYX Lip Liner in Hot Red
Lipstick: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Amsterdam {so amaze balls. go buy it! drugstore approved}








I hope you guys enjoyed the first of my holiday looks!! Next up is going to be something really glittery and dramatic so stay tuned lovers

It came without packages, boxes, or bags. 
Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store.
 Maybe Christmas means a little bit more."
