I’m not gonna lie, I’m terribly missing green trees and plants!
Here’s a little makeup look to remind me it’s comin’ soon!

It can be so fun to play with vibrant colors, such as orange! It can really spice things up!

This is the perfect smokey eye for a day or night party. It’s a step up from natural.

Pink pink pink!
I have to say, recently I’m loving the color pink. Fine timing, eh? I mean, with Valentine’s Day coming up and all…..
So here’s a very pink look you can try this year! A black, gray, or white sweater with a matching pink scarf would go nicely with this look.

Here’s a sweet look you can try for Valentine’s Day this year! It’s simple and pink.
How To:
– Black flicked liquid liner
– Peachy pink lipstain + gloss
– Peachy pink blush (Don’t be afraid to apply more than usual. Although hidden in this awful lighting, the blush makes this look)
– Neutral brown eyeshadow over lid with minimal shimmer.
-Black mascara
– Filled-in brows
Have fun!

So I like snow. I like it up till mid January. Then it’s over. I’m done. I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to summer time, the blue water on the white sand, the white clouds against the blue sky. The leaves on the trees…. yeah, I guess I’ve made my point.
So here’s a makeup look that reminds me of the blue ocean and yet is a suitable winter party look:
Turquoise on the lid and bottom lashline…
Deep purple-based blue in the crease…
Black liquid liner and mascara…
Pink lipbalm and blush and you’re set.
It’s that simple.
My eyes nearly always look brown, but these blues brought out the green in there! I’m always afraid to go bold with eyeshadow, but when I do, I love it.

How to:
1) Apply concealer around nose, under eyes, and on chin. Blend.
2) Apply foundation or BB Cream over face.
3) Set face makeup with powder.
4) Apply baby oink blush to cheeks.
5) Sweep highlighter over cheekbones.
6) Apply silvery, light blue eyeshadow over entire lid.
7) (Optional) Apply a slightly darker shade of blue along upper lashline.
8) Apply bronze cream shadow along bottom lashline.
9) Sweep two or three coats of black mascara over upper lashes, and apply only one thin coat over bottom lashes.
10) Fill in eyebrows with brow pencil.
11) Apply a sheer baby pink lip balm to lips.
You’re all set for a wintery glow!

So, I was a bit spoiled this Christmas…..
I got a really pretty and funky necklace:
Two hairbrushes: one boar-hair, and one round styler:
I got many beauty/makeup books. I always love to learn more and be inspired by photos.
I’m especially happy to have gotten “Making Faces” as I have wanted it for a long time:
I got some makeup from Annabelle: two loose powder, highly pigmented eyeshadows, and two lip-glosses:
Some adorable polka-dotted shoes:
Another beautiful and wild necklace that I can’t wait to wear:
The “Winter Candy Apple” cream and soap set from Bath&Bodyworks:
A Burt’s Bees cream and cleanser set:
Lots of cash with which I spent a bit of on small items such as:
It was truly a wonderful and merry Christmas after all. I hope you all enjoyed yours as well!
God bless! and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
