Shimmer



Acoustic version- absolutely amazing <3 

Found this on pinterest! How cute is this for a New years dinner party!


eff.Y.bee Brooke necklace, gold glittery nail polish, & a vintage beaded evening clutch- perfect accessories for NYE :)



Favorite sparkly nail polishes: Face it in gold glitter (more of a coppery gold), Sinful colors in "I miss you", & Milani Jewel FX in Gold
One of my New Years resolutions is to stay organized! What better tools to help than this adorable green leather 2012 planner & my iphone! Marc Jacobs case- compliments of my best friend for Christmas :)  
Perfect NYE eyeshadow:

Found this look via pinterest - absolutely LOVE this. I plan to replicate this look for NYE with Lancome shadow (see below)

Lancome Color Design eyeshadow in 505 All that Glitters $18

Left: dry application, Right: wet application
I always get sucked into the makeup counters when I walk through a department store. I start casually browsing with the intention to keep on moving through, and next thing I know, its been hours later and I'm sitting in a chair getting a makeover & venting/telling my life story to the lady at the counter. Normal. 

Anywayyyyy, what started as returning an eyeliner ended up with getting a smokey eye tutorial and this amazinggg eyeshadow! It's perfect to spruce up and add a little glimmer to your makeup. 

The lady first applied a soft taupe all over my lid, used a dark matte brown shadow for my crease, and then applied this shimmer color just to the center of my lid, after wetting her brush. It created such a sultry look, and I'm definitely planning on wearing this eyeshadow for NYE :) Hopefully I'm able to master the smokey eye without looking like a raccoon :x
