Festive Party Look: Emerald Green

Makeup: Elena Pylarinos MUA
Hey lovelies!

The third and final part of my "Festive Party Look" mini series is here and it has arrived just in time for the best day of the year! Now if you remember, I did warn you that I would turn obnoxiously Christmassy by the end of this series and I have proved myself right! If you're anything like me though, you won't be ashamed by how much green and red has been put on your face because, after all, they're the quintessential Christmas colours!

Elena Pylarinos MUA did an amazing job at manifesting those Christmas vibes on my face and I can't help but love the fact that the liquid lipstick she used matches my dress so well! I just adore when my makeup goes so well with my outfit, it makes everything work together just that much better! Please tell me that I'm not the only one that feels that way...

Regardless of your thoughts on that matter, the festive period is made for making the most of the glitz and glamour as well as embracing those traditional colours that we all know and love. Red and green may not be your favourites but I'm sure that you can make an exception just for one day of the year because when else will you be able to go all out and look like a Christmas tree!

Be sure to let me know what you think of this look in the comment section down below! Also how has your Christmas gone? Are you enjoying your time so far? I would love to chat with you all!

XOXO

Festive Party Look: Ice Blue

Makeup: Elena Pylarinos MUA
Hey lovelies!

Welcome to the second part of this mini series for the festive season, I hope that you are all just as excited as I am because the Ice Queen is here! We all know that around this time of year, the festive season is not only good for those glamorous looks you can wear out to work parties or family gatherings but also for those more creative looks that allow you to transform into an entirely new person!

The look in this post was so fun to create and I loved the amount of collaboration between Elena Pylarinos MUA and I! Her abilites are nothing but extraordinary and the way that she works with the glitter pigments we've been playing around with is incredible! She is ALWAYS so creative and loves to invent new ways of making different holidays/occasions more special and unique through the makeup looks that she creates!

The Ice Queen was certainly no different and she definitely nailed the pale complexion and the frosty look of the eyes with the Helen E Cosmetics glitter pigment in 'Ice Blue'. The face jewels were my favourite part though as they ensured that the look came together and resembled the cool, icy feeling of the Winter, Christmassy month of December!

Be sure to let me know in the comment section down below if you're into getting into wintery costumes and taking on the role of a brunette-Elsa style character like I did! What's your go-to look for Christmas? Let's chat!

XOXO

Festive Party Look: Rose Gold

Hey lovelies!

Nothing says festive or Christmas like a sparkly lid, nude lips and a red dress, am I right ladies? I honestly wish that I had more excuses to get this dressed up and paint the town rose gold with this Helen E Cosmetics glitter pigment! Before you say anything though, I know that I've spoken about this glitter pigment a lot but it has got to be one of the best ones that I've ever seen or worn in quite a while - no exaggeration!

Now, off the record, party looks are a bit hit and miss with me. I'm just putting it there because I have seen some looks that are so over the top that it borders on human disco ball and whilst that's fun and all, I find it to be slightly obnoxious and a bit of a cliche. With that said, there is a way to go about things that can prevent you from looking like a little kid that has been let loose on the glitter during their spontaneous art sessions!

I have partnered up with Elena Pylarinos MUA once again to bring you a few festive glittery looks that you will hopefully love and better yet, they feature a few shades that may leave you questioning whether or not you should be reaching for those matte shades that, realistically, you can wear any time of the year! Throughout this mini three-part series, you might see me branching off into my own personal area of "the unknown" seeing as some of these pigments are a little bold even for me but by the end you'll be able to watch me slowly become a little more obnoxiously festive than we might have liked, I hope you're looking forward to that...!
Be sure to leave me a comment down below letting me know what you think of the first festive party look! Do you love glitter pigments as much as I do or think that they're too messy to deal with? Let's chat!

XOXO

Winter Playlist!


Hey lovelies!

Well isn't it just the most wonderful time of the year! I believe that line sounds VERY familiar, maybe it's from a famous Christmas song that we belt out on the daily throughout the month of December! If you haven't caught my drift yet, today's post is all about music for the Winter season and, admittedly, music is great all year round but nothing beats having your own monthly or seasonal favourites!

1. Say My Name - David Guetta, Bebe Rexha & J Balvin
