SEE WHAT ALL THE BUZZ IS ABOUT "HOLIDAY GLAM COLLABORATION"

So today is a special post because several of us have gotten together to do a Holiday Glam Collaboration, providing different looks for different holiday events. You will see makeup, hair, nails, outfits, the works. The idea was brought to the table by the ultra stylish Jackie over at FIVE TWO CERTIFIED.

 

The ladies that have agreed to do  the collaboration are +Liz Outh +Elizabeth Breygel +Brittnee KAO +Shalunya TheChronicBeauty and +Liliana Ayala + Jackie and myself.

 

So my contribution to the group is a NEW YEARS EVE look. To me for New Years it should be over the top....Go BIG, or go HOME.

 

So the look I have created may not be for everyone, but I think it would be super fun to party the end of year away in it.

 

For this look I used the following items

ON MY FACE- NYC liquid concealer in LIGHT, Holika Holika Petit BB cream in light/medium, Maybelline dream bouncy blush in PLUM WINE, Physicians Formula TRANSLUCENT glow pearls and bronze booster airbrushing veil in MEDIUM/DARK for contouring.

ON MY EYES- as base I used Maybelline color tattoo BARELY BRANDED and NYX jumbo pencil in MILK, filled my brows with MAC impeccable brow pencil in TAUPE, I used a combination of CoverGirl single pan eyeshadow in SHIMMERING ONYX, blended with Almay Softie eyeshadow in MIDNIGHT SKY, for the inner area of lid I used MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Cream in #3 SILVER and topped it with MUFE "GUNMETAL" glitters, I also used MUFE smoky extravagant mascara and lined the eye with Revlon liquid eye pen in BLACKEST BLACK. To complete the eye look I used a pair of false lashes by Wet N Wild fantasy makers with some Ardell lash adhesive.

ON MY LIPS- I used a lip brush and applied NYC CITY PROOF 8HR WEAR LIPGLOSS in ROUND THE CLOCK RUBY, then tapped on a bit of the MUFE aqua cream in silver to create a more unique lip look for added impact.

 

HERE IS THE RESULTS

Week 1 of the Beauty Crown Awards covers Personal Care Items. Below are my Week 1 Selections:

HAIR

GARNIER FRUCTIS CITRUS MINT WORKS BEST FOR OILY HAIR AND IS THE BEST I HAVE USED SO FAR EVEN COMPARE TO HIGHEND LIKE VICHY AND KLORANE

L'OREAL STUDIO REMIX FIBER PASTE IS EXCELLENT FOR SHORT EDGIER HAIRCUTS THAT REQUIRE HOLD, BUT ARE REWORKABLE, GREAT SMELL AND DOESN'T LEAVE A WHITE CAST ON THE HAIR SHAFT

OSIS+ BLOW & GO IS BEST FOR THICK OR LONG HAIR AND IT REALLY WORKS AND CUTS DOWN ON DAMAGING BLOW DRYING TIME

 

SCENTS
 

TOKYOMILK DARK "EXCESS" A TRULY UNIQUE FRAGRANCE EXPERIENCE AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LINE, LASTING SCENT AND I PREFER A COMPANY SUCH AS THIS THAT IS A NICHE MARKET

BATH AND BODY WORKS SPARKLING BLACKBERRY WOODS IS MY FAVOURITE BODY SPRAY BECAUSE ITS A REALLY GOOD KICK OF FRAGRANCE AND ITS SWEET AND REFRESHING AND IT WEARS ALL DAY LONG. ONE OF THE BETTER SCENTS FROM B&B, BUT SADLY I THINK IT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED:(

 

SKIN CARE (Non-Facial)
 

VASELINE COCOA BUTTER HAS BECOME MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE GO TO ITEM FOR JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING. IT HELPS DRY FEET, ELBOWS, ROUGH PATCHES, CHAPPED HANDS, APPLY AT PULSE POINTS BEFORE SPRAYING FRAGRANCE AND WILL HOLD SCENT LONGER.

 

BATH AND BODY WORKS WARM VANILLA SUGAR HAS BEEN IN MY DAILY ROUTINE NOW FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS. I TRY LOTS OF OTHER ITEMS, BUT THIS ALWAYS REMAINS MY TRIED AND TRUE. I DO FIND HOWEVER WITH TIME SOMETHINGS HAVE CHANGED IN THE FORMULATION AND THE SMELL IS STILL WONDERFUL, BUT NOT LIKE BACK IN THE DAY WHEN IT STILL WAS INFUSED WITH BASMATI RICE MILK.

 

GILLETTE HAS BEEN AROUND NOW FOR ALMOST 113 YEARS I NEED NOT SAY MORE. EXCEPT THIS SHAVE CREAM WORKS WELL IN PREPARING HAIR FOR SHAVING AND LEAVING YOUR SKIN SOFT AND NICELY SCENTED.

 

I LOVE SO MANY VANILLA SCENTS FROM VARIOUS COMPANIES, BUT THIS COMES TO MIND AS SOON AS THE CHRISTMAS SEASON ARRIVES. THERE IS SOMETHING SO WARM AND PLEASING ABOUT BATH AND BODY WORKS VANILLA BEAN NOEL THAT SETS IT APART FROM OTHER VANILLA PRODUCTS, AND WHO DOESN'T LOVE THE PACKAGING. THIS BOTTLE IS FROM HOLIDAY 2012.

 

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY SELECTIONS FOR WEEK 1 OF THE BEAUTY CROWN AWARDS.
