A Very Rosey Christmas- Makeup Look

 As we near Christmas I keep seeing gorgeous holiday looks being put together by some of my favorite bloggers and youtubers. I felt like I should throw in my current favorite festive makeup look and luckily it includes my newest baby, the Naked 3 Palette. I went for something a little different than the norm because quite frankly I wore a bronzey eye and red lip all summer and that didn't seem festive enough for me personally. I call Christmas the time when everyone else starts wearing red lipstick and I lose my originality. POSERS.

Joking. Sort of.


Here are all the products I used:

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette, (full review here!) Benefit Rockateur Blush, MAC MSF in Soft and Gentle, Tarte Lights Camera Flashes Mascara, MAC Lip Pencil in Brick, Rimmel Lasting Finish Kate Moss Lipstick in 06.

Here's the look!

So for the eyes I used Dust all over the lid, then worked Burnout and Limit into the crease. I built those up and blended them, then added Buzz to the outer corner. I blended them all together with Nooner. I then defined my lashline with Blackheart and highlighted both my brow bone and inner corner with Strange, the lightest shade in the palette. (These are all shades from the Naked 3 Palette). I used my new favorite Tarte mascara (it's a holy grail product) and voila!

For cheeks I buffed on some of Benefit's Rockateur blush, which I am absolutely obsessed with. This gives off a nice sheen but I wanted to add a little more since it's the holiday season and when else do we get to pack sparkles onto our faces and have it be socially acceptable? I highlighted the tops of my cheekbones with MAC's MSF in Soft and Gentle.

For lips I layered up my all time favorite lipliner, MAC's Brick with a new find, a beautiful berry red hue from Rimmel's Kate Moss collection.

Overall I find this look very glowy and I plan on wearing it in different variations throughout the holiday season and most likely after, because let's be real when we figure out an awesome combination we're going to slap it on all the time. Or at least I am.

Here it is again! I hope you guys found this post helpful. I truly hope everyone has a beautiful holiday with their family and friends. This time of year is my favorite not because of anything other than the large amount of time I get to spend with my family. So kick back, drink a glass of wine, and soak in the love. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog and sticking with me. <3

Holiday Manicure

If you know me at all, you know I'm festive as all hell. I'm the freak who after Thanksgiving decides to start singing Cindy Lou-Who's song from How the Grinch Stole Christmas incessantly for the next month. I've been burning Christmas candles and wearing red lipstick so I figured it was time to get my nails in on the fun. Cue my holiday manicure of choice this year.

Simple, yet elegant, no? No probably not. Who am I kidding, I painted my nails red and gold. Creative there Kylie. Real creative. Well guys, I've never claimed to be terribly creative, only promised to show you beautiful readers of mine my beauty choices. So here it is. I painted all of my nails except for my ring fingers with Rimmel's Lasting Finish Pro nail polish in Stiletto Red. Then for my ring fingers as an accent I layered Orly's Luxe with OPI's My Favorite Ornament. You really could go with one or the other but I just love the effect of them both. 

Are you as festive as I am? Do you feel the need to paint your body with red and gold in order to declare that festivity? Either way, happy holidays everyone. I hope you have a magnificent holiday season with your loved ones, whether you have multiple family Christmas celebrations or you go out for Chinese food with your parents.  <3

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

*screaming* GUYS IT'S HEREEEE.

I'm having actual heart palpatations. I ripped open the box so fast I thought I may break it. This, my dears, is the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. I love my other two Naked palettes, (Yes. I have all three. Judge me if you must) but this is the best one in my humble opinion. This may be because I have the complexion of a newborn and the first Naked palette can be too warm and the second can be too cool for my weirdly neutral pale skin. This is a perfectly rosey toned offering that is great for all the fairer skinned gals out there. I'm not sure if I would recommend this for darker skinned girls only because it's quite pink toned. They might not show up as well on darker skin, I would recommend going and checking it out in store and swatching it on your skin. But if you're like me and love anything rosey toned on your eyelids you will be obsessed like I am. 

The quality of these is the same as all other Urban Decay shadows, amazing. There are 12 creamy, long wearing, and blendable beyond belief eyeshadows. The shades are varied in finish, if you want swatches I would hit up Temptalia. We all know she has the best swatches. The palette also came with a dual ended high quality brush and a sample of primer potion. A great deal for $52 I must say. It's all housed in a gorgeous rose gold metal tin case that makes traveling a breeze. 

I ordered this on the first day it released from Urbandecay.com because I am impatient and have an addiction. I was planning on waiting until Sephora got it in so I could rack up some beauty inside points on this rose gold baby but alas, my impatience won out. I'm not mad about it. Looks using this little guy will be coming soon.

Are you going to indulge? I'm still hyperventilating over this new baby.
