Giveaway + Tutorial: Clarins Holiday Collection

 

BEAUTY LOOK

The beauty look was very mature and adult looking, I love the fact that the black shadow when wet is so intense.

Even though the black shadow used as a eye liner gave good impact on making the eyes bolder, the other mixes of shades softens it up a bit.

INSIDE THE COLLECTION

Eye Quartet Mineral Palette $40

Rouge Prodige True Colour & Shine Lipstick $24

The passion rose lipstick is much lighter when applied on and the scent is fabulous!

These are the shades when wet a bit more richer and deep. (L. ROSE,SMOKY,GREY,SILVER)

GIVEAWAY

INSTANT DEFINITION MASCARA

Question: Why do you want to try the Instant Definition Mascara?

Trends: Casual Chic

Nights in Candlelight Long Sleeve Ivory Top $43

White blouses are a true classic trend and the more variety of styles you have the better. This asymmetrical sheer top is great to add with a simple look. It can give it a polished effect with just the right shoe and makeup. The style on the back has flirty cut-outs making it great for a night out with your beau.

 

 

Candy Tin Brown and Red Handbag $37

Having different shapes in handbags are very unique and they make your personal style more creative. These two contrasting colors give a off white style or tan look a twist. Plus you can rock it as a over-sized clutch or shoulder bag.

 

 

Steve Madden Badgess Chestnut Suede Fringe Platform Wedge Boots $189

The best shade other than black for the fall and winter season is a deep brown. This OTK boot is a sexy casual look with skinny jeans or stylish leggings. The fringe adds the playful touch to a over-sized sweater or sleek poncho.

 

 

Naughty List Black Dress $55

A LBD is always in a woman’s closet and having enough that brings the extra, spices the look even more. This LBD has the soft and edgy effect with the sheer small polka dot details. Switch to the back and show some skin. The style is simple but the smallest details make it more of a standout.

Shoes: Popular Styles

DURLING $100

Anything with a touch of rhinestones never go out of style but it’s best to get the look in nude or black. The nude shade is best for stand out looks and adds that fresh chic approach. The black style adds much glamour to any look so it’s the best alternative.

 

 

MCINTYDE $100

Shimmer, the glitz and a ton of metallic is a huge trend for the holiday season. It’s playful and fun and it adds that flirty vibe to a look. Contrasting colors balances the look so if you don’t wear the glitter styles often find trimmings with a color that allows you to get more wear out of the look.

 

 

 

Christian Louboutin $675

Sexy patent leather pumps are so gorgeous for the winter season because they have a great classic look. These signature heels are great since they can work well with every outfit in your wardrobe. Even though the price is heavy the style is one look that is long lasting. Plus you can rock this at every occasion and gain a style of true elegance.

 

 

Colin Stuart $68

These trendy mesh heels are great for those flirty ruffle skirts that are able to show off the legs and the shoe. This heel is fun for a night out with the girls and is a great transitional shoe for the summer season.

 

Contrast Heel $88

Contrast heels are a big thing at the moment because you get two colors that can make a outfit come to life. It’s all about getting you money’s worth while making fashion statements. Find great base colors that you wear normally but with a sprinkle of glam.

Keri Lotion is celebrating its 50th “golden” anniversary and I remember it being my #1 in elementary school and it’s still making our skin look smoother and soft in 2011!  The Keri body lotion in Shea Butter is amazing, love the scent and how it feels so smooth on my skin. It’s also good with diminishing scars so it’s a hit for me.

The other varieties of their lotions are the Original which is good for daily moisturizing, the Advance is light-weight not greasy and it’s long lasting, the Luxurious has Shea Butter and is combined with vitamins A, C and E. and lastly the Essentials is great for hydrating, it has Aloe Vera and vitamin E.
