New Year's Eve Outfit Lookbook



Femme

She moves through the party as shimmering ray of light. Her chandelier earrings toss glints as she laughs. Delicate gold heels on her feet. Champagne flute lifted to her lips, eyes flick down the smoky plum color surrounding her flashing eye. Entrancing him.  

Backless Gold Jersey Dress | BCBG | Thrifted
Gold Heels |  | Thrifted
Gold & Moonstone Chandelier Earrings | Gift

Velvet

She is part of the night around her. Draped in midnight velvet that flashes with glittering stars. She arrives alone and is powerful enough to understand the strength in that. Her laughter is as smoky as the whiskey she drinks. Captivating a crowd is all is a nights work for her.


Black Velvet Sheath Dress with Sequins | Betsy Johnson | Thrifted
Nude Heels | Brian Atwood | T.J. Maxx
Gold & Moonstone Chandelier Earrings | Gift

Sparkle

She is the popular girl. She knows everyone and everyone knows her. Her clothes are as sparkling as her wit and charm. On the dance floor all night she stands out from the crowd in her tee shirt and boots. At midnight her tee shirt is a cheeky reminder. Her skirt flares and glitters as she spins, the lights radiate from and around her.

Jersey Skirt | Sass and Bide | Thrifted
Kiss Tee Shirt | Abercrombie and Fitch
Thigh High Boots | BEBE | Thrifted
Diamond Studs | Gift
Two Finger Crystal Pyramid Ring | Forever 21 (?)
Statement Necklace | J. Crew

Starlet

She is on the hunt. Love, fame and wealth are a drumbeat in her head. She moves through the party as a lioness through the Savannah. Her body-con dress and sky high heels are her weapons. Her smoky eyes and nude lip her camouflage. 

Body Con Blue Dress with Black Graphic Lines | Arden B | Thrifted
Black Heels | Guess | Marshalls
Tiffany Bar Necklace | Gift
Silver Hoop Earrings | T. J. Maxx

Burlesque

She is the life of the party. Laughter bubbles out of her like champagne from a bottle. Her head is always dreaming of times past. Shorts suit her because you never know what she'll do. Either throwing a football in the snow or doing the jive, she'll be covered. From her style to her smile she is one of a kind.

Black Sequin Shorts | Mimi Chica | T.J. Maxx
Silver Lame Secretary Blouse | St. John | Thrifted
Black T-Strap Heels | Vince Camuto | Thrifted
Topaz Ring | Gift
Stud Earrings | Gift

Hey everyone,

I hope your week is off to a great start! I just got back home last night - I'd been traveling since Wednesday- and I am wiped out! The fact that it is 90+ degrees out isn't helping either!

Hope to talk to you soon!

Best wishes,

Elisabeth

One Brand Review: Too Faced

Hey Everyone,

Today's one brand review is on the products I have from Too Faced. Overall I like the brand. It was my number one makeup brand for a few years, pretty much when I was just really getting into makeup. As I've explored other companies, it's slipped a little from number one. I still like it and use many of the products I own, however I have not purchased a new item from them in many years.

The company:

I like their principal - they don't test on animals, which I like. As someone how currently has four rescue mutts that I love dearly and volunteers (when I get the chance and not often enough!) at an animal shelter, I do support that.

They also have this adorable girly, cutesy packaging to all their products. It can be a little impractical for travel, etc, but it is really cute.

I have found that while I really like the company, the products - at least the ones I have- don't amaze me when I compare them to others. The lip glosses are cute, but not something I'd repurchase. The eye shadows I have are amazing colors and I love them, however they aren't super pigmented and I cannot get them to last all day on me. The blush and eyeliners are fine, but I have others that do a better job.

The end result:

Don't get me wrong, I am not bashing on Too Faced. I probably own more from this one company than any other, but I've found other products that I love more or work just as well for me at a better price. I bought most, if not all, of these items on clearance and I enjoy what I have. I just don't reach for it as often as I'd like.

 = Personal favorites!

The Products:

Galaxy Glam Baked Eye Shadow

 Moon Beam - swirled royal blue, black and white
Amber Asteroid - swirled brown and gold
Deep Space - swirled emerald, black and white

Swatches are shown with both wet and dry application.

Pinch My Petals Blush - Pinky-Mauve with grey undertones. Almost Invisible light gold shimmer


 Shadow Insurance - Invisible


 Perfect Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner
 Perfect Storm - grey-black with silver glitter


Glamour to Go II (2) 
These shadows don't seem to have a name so quick rundown:
The bottom shadow on my arm is the upper left shadow in the palette. Sorry I didn't do a better job defining what's what! Below that are the four lip glosses and the last photo is of the blush!
This is what happens when it falls out of your luggage from the top shelve of a closet! Whoops!!

1/2 Ooh & Aah: Charcoal grey with silver glitter

Madcap Makeup Monday

Hey Everyone, how's your day going? I hope it's off to a better start than my week - I got a unidentified bug bite this weekend and have spent most of the past two days in bed asleep. Not exactly a burgeoning opportunity for glamorous makeup (or ahem, any at all), however the previous week I tried a few different looks and really enjoyed the results.

During the past week I broke out of the summertime rut with a pinup red lipstick look, in addition to several days of bright pink lips and a smoky green eye shadow look for this weekend. It was a nice change from the all-natural/sweet look I've been attempting lately. 








What have you been wearing lately? Let me know in the comments!

Best wishes,

Elisabeth <3
