Fabulous Makeup for Christmas and New Year's Eve

Ok, so far we've covered home decor, your outfit and now let's jump to the Makeup. I like everything sparkly and that includes the makeup. Very colorful and very focused on the eyes. Take a look at these options:

I like them all, but not sure if I could use the Rhinestones over my eyes. I absolutely love the Blue glitter eye shadow with the smoky look. So much mystery and very sexy! Don't mix too much eye makeup with glittery lips, make sure to use a very light lip gloss with strong eye makeup colors.

Very sexy and mysterious look. Noticed how she combined the smoky eyes with a matte pink berry lipstick?

Picture here 

Absolutely too much for me but I love that blue eyeshadow! I can totally see me wearing those colors but not so excessive. It has a great mix with purple and black, very soft lip gloss.

I know, I know....another one that is too much, but I still like the colors. You don't have to use them all together or that strong, but they're beautiful colors!

This one looks very glamorous and subtle. Great for the Christmas dinner, but stylish enough for the New Year's eve!

What do you think about these sparkly lips? That red lip gloss is just very sexy and attracting. I just wonder how annoying the rhinestones could be. Still, it looks gorgeous!

Another great find. The green blueish color is just stunning. I know, I'm always chasing the blue tones, but they just look so fabulous!

Get a Buzz or Smell Good?

I was browsing on Etsy looking for a gift for my husband, when I stumbled upon some great findings. Apparently it has become very popular to make soaps using alcoholic beverages!!! There are so many options to choose from. I got the Guinnes Olive Oil Soap for my husband. But there are some other options with Rum, Brandy, Jagermeister, Champagne, Eggnog......so many options! Here are a few:

Handcrafted Guinness Olive Oil Soap here

 Rum and Eggnog Handmade Soap here

Strawberries and Champagne Handcrafted Soap here

Handmade Bourbon Vanilla Shea Butter Soap here

Zinfandel Vegan Artisan Soap here

Pear Brandy Handmade Soap here

Handcrafted Jagermeister Soap here

I can't wait to receive the Guinness soap and see what my husband thinks about it. I can't even imagine how a beer soap can smell! Ohh and here is a funny note they have on the Guinness Soap listing:

"DO NOT attempt to eat or drink this soap! You will not get a buzz you will get a major tummy ache and be blowing bubbles for a week. This soap is intended to wash your body not your intestines"

XOXO!!

What are you Wearing for Christmas?

So most likely you already have your home decorated with Christmas items, or at least started it. But what about you? Do you know what you're wearing that day? We will probably spend our Christmas at home, just the three of us, so I'm not really planning something too fancy, but if you're going to a Christmas dinner with your family you might be interested in these beautiful finds, all in Black and Silver.

Handmade Skirt here

Animal prints are very popular for this season and this beautiful sequin skirt is just perfect for the Christmas dinner. Just combine it with a black top and some small earrings.

 

Handmade Underwear here 

What do you think about this sexy lingerie? Wearing nice underwear is supposed to make you feel better and it will reflect in your overall look. True? I have no idea, but this black set is just gorgeous!

 

Handmade Black Scarf here

If you're in the South it's probably warm right now, but here it's already cold, so make sure you take something to cover yourself. I just love this black Shawl! It matches any color of clothes and gives a romantic touch to your outfit.

 

 Handmade black Clutch here

Don't forget the accessories! Remember that as simple as your clothes might be, you can make them look much better with a few key accessories like these clutches. Very sober print!

 Vintage Rhinestone Bobby Pins here

Another wonderful accessories are these vintage Bobby Pins. They will add some glamorous sparkle to your look. Use them with short or long hair!

 

 Black Pumps here

Lastly the shoes. Even if you're not used to wear high heels, you should consider adding them for this occasion. It will enhance your overall outfit!

 

I hope this helps you with choosing your Holiday Outfit. Let me know what colors you're choosing for the Christmas dinner! Enjoy!!!

Do you know which Earrings go best with your Face?

I would think that there is a large amount of women who don't pay attention to what kind of earrings match better to them and just buy whichever type they like. That's totally OK, but if you are wondering what kind of earrings would fit you better, here is a short guide.

Picture via Elle.com

If you have a round face like Drew Barrymore, your best option is to use long earrings that makes your face look a little bit longer. See the pictures how she is using long dangle earrings. Also try that they are slim. Another option would be large Hoop Earrings which will also make your cheeks look slimmer.

Picture via Fashionfame.com

If your face is more oval shaped avoid using long earrings, try instead filling out your face with shorter earrings. You can use Studs, Chandeliers or Chunky Earrings. An example of a celebrity with oval shaped face is Sarah Jessica Parker.

Women with heart shaped faces look the best with earrings that are small at the top and chunkier at the bottom, like Chandeliers or Hoops with something the bottom. What you need is to add some volume under your cheek bone. Reese Witherspoon is a good example of a heart shapaed face.

 Photo here

Hoop earrings are your best option if you have a square face, also round Studs and Chandelier Earrings. They round shapes will soften your face a little bit. See Demi Moore's picture, she is wearing large hoop earrings which match perfectly to her face.

Remember that your hair style and clothes will also  make a difference, but I think this is a good start. Let me know if you have any questions and Have a Great Weekend!!!

Winter Wedding Ideas

I can't believe how long it's been since the last time I posted on my blog. With so many things going on right now in my life, I just hadn't had the time. As many of you might know, my grandmother has been hospitalized for over 6 weeks and last week my dog, Pancho, also got sick and he's hospitalized. This week we have been coming forth and back to Davis, since that's the best veterinary hospital in the area (UC Davis Hospital). Anyways, we're now at the hotel waiting to get news from the doctor and meanwhile I found great Winter Wedding Ideas that I want to share with all of you, since I know many of my followers are Brides.

Winter Wedding Cake via here

I love this wedding cake. If you go to the link you can find some more pictures of this cake. I think it looks great for a Winter Wedding. 

Winter wedding Favor - Bubble pots here

Ok, I know the tag says Merry Christmas, but I think it would be a nice favor for your winter wedding, just change the tag to your initials, names or to say Thank You!

Winter Wedding Candle via Icestandard

These candles are another great idea. You can actually make them yourself, just buy the glasses and pour in a tiny bit of jelly wax, then put the pretabbed candle wick inside the glass and push it over the wax leaving it centered. Next you pour the rest of the jelly wax. You can also use gel wax and add some color so that it has this blue look and also some glitter. To adorn the glasses just get some rhinestone figures from a craft store like Jo-Anns or Michaels, they have many shapes and glue them on. And that's it! If you don't have experience with candle making just buy the candles in glasses and just add the rhinestones :)

Snowflake Bookmark via here

These bookmarks are really cute and they are also very affordable! You can buy them starting at less than $2. Great deal and they look very nice.

Snowflake Sphere via Planningpad

These Snowflake Spheres will add a nice touch to your wedding decoration. They are available on the same website as the bookmarks and starting at less than $8 each. You can use them in the center in a nice glass plate or around a flower centerpiece.

Winter Wedding Dress via Projectwedding

So, I'm not sure if this is actually the dress or if it's a coat for you to use over your Bridal dress, but it looks amazing! A lot of brides decide to have their wedding outdoors even if it's cold, so this is an excellent option.

I hope you like these ideas and feel free to share some that you find! Remember that you can post your ideas with pictures on my Facebook Fan Page

Have a great weekend everyone!
