Holiday Eye Makeup

Oh hai, December!!!


Although a lot of people think red lips as the main staple for holiday season makeup, I think it is equal parts smokey eye. Now, I’m no makeup artist, so I appreciated that the Studio Gear Cosmetics Holiday Smokey Eye Palette comes with play-by-play instructions on how to use the shadows to achieve the perfect look. And it’s your lucky day because I’m going to share them with you!

The first step is to use a primer on your lids. I don’t have primer (I should probably put that on my shopping list), so I just used my foundation on my lids as substitution. Next was layering their ice white shadow, Frost, on your eyelids to set. Then their charcoal shadow is to be applied lightly from crease to lash line.

Britelites Color

Confession: I really don’t know why I chopped off my hair. Not only because I miss the length, but also because I basically had a killer ombre that had barely faded. Ever since then, I have missed my fun locks more than anything, so when I stumbled on Britelites, I knew I had to give it a go! It’s temporary hair color that you simply just roll onto your hair. You may think this sounds like hair chalk, but the difference is that it is vibrant (even on dark hair) and lasts!


I had a blast playing with all the colors (for this post, I used the red, blue & purple), and loved the results! Warning: it can get messy, but it easily washes off with soap and water. And definitely do not be afraid to use multiple shades – that’s what really creates bright and bold hues. I personally can’t wait to give it another go for this week’s Swim Week events!

Want some even better news? I have a coupon code to share with all of you! Type in “melificent” at checkout to receive 10% off your Britelites purchase!!! Hope this helps you all have an even more colorful and fun summer.

Rocks Paper Metal!

Question is…does metal beat Spock? 😉

But in all seriousness, how adorable is the lovely Etsy shop, Rocks Paper Metal? I absolutely adore their bright and fun color palette and casually playful designs. And I’m definitely not the only one. The lovely ladies that comprise RPM (sweet moniker), Kat and Diana, were quick to fill me in that their hands are full. And they are not kidding. Each RPM piece is diligently hand made by one of them. Oh, to have these talents….

Thankfully, I come bearing good news! How would you like to get your hands on one of these pretties for a fraction of the price? Kat and Diana were sweet enough to partner up with the blog to offer all readers 15% off! All you have to do is type MELIFICENT at checkout.
