New Year's FOTD

Happy 2013 Everyone!!! 

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a great start to your new year. I'm sorry I 

have been so MIA on my blog, but with the holidays plus walking pnemonia plus the flu

made for a sickly girl and I have just been trying to rest and get back to normal. 

I was very pleased with the way my make up turned out for NYE and thought 

I would start the new year off with a FOTD post. Matt and I went out to dinner with a group

of friends and then off to a wedding reception party downtown. If you could have seen us 

a couple hours before getting fixed up you would have said there is NO WAY those 

people look or feel like going out. Still fighting the flu plus moving M in the rain all day made

for a sad pair. But, we got tough and actually had a great night. We headed out right after 12... 

no time for fun... we needed our rest! 

Anyway, here was my look for New Year's Eve:

Foundation: Clinique Even Better 

Concealer: Revlon Photoready stick 

Bronzer: Chanel Soleil Tan De 

Blush: Lorac Velvet Rope 

Highlighter: MAC Pearl Cream Color Base 

Highlighter: MAC Soft & Gentle (powder over cream) 

Eye Primer: NYX HD base

Eye Shadow: Revlon Photoready quad in Precocious

EyeLiner: Loreal Gel in Blackest Black (top)

Urban Decay Rockstar (bottom)

Mascara: Benefit They're Real 

Lips: Revlon Colorburst Gloss in Bordeaux

Other beauty deets: if you can notice I have a touch of bronze 

to my skin thanks to St. Tropez bronzing moose. I applied an hour

before leaving an just like that... COLOR! Love this stuff. 

The thing I was trying to achieve with this look was:

A really good glow and color with highlighted skin and 

and eye look that had a good shimmery purple to match my plum dress. I also wanted

a bolder lip. Here are a few of the key products that made this look.

And New Year's kiss compliments of Mattie... ;) 

I hope you had a great New Year's and have lots of plans, goals, and new perspectives for 

your 2013!!
