My christmas look!

Hello dear ladies and my beautiful readers,







I hope you all are fine and would be busy in the preparations for coming festival. Many of my readers asked me to post a Christmas look. I have some Christian friends living nearby, they have invited me to the parties but unfortunately I had to refuse their invitations. As you know the month of Muharram is going on. After my last post of Muharram i came to know that unfortunately most of my readers are not aware about this month. I think we all should know about every religion, this will surely bring us closer. This is very necessary for a true globalization.





Anyways, I should explain some thing about this month. Ladies, as you know that it is a sad occasion and this is continue about 2 month and during these days we keep away from all kinds of makeup and jewelery and even colorful dresses like red, yellow etc. we don't participate in any of the functions, party or any kind of occasion. My friends understood it so they didn't insist me.

But I love my readers and respect their wishes so I had prepared a post for Christmas look before Muharram and I'm very happy that I'm able to keep my reader's request because being a blogger it's my duty to help my readers.



So this is the look for Christmas. I love to apply gold eye shadow on any festival occasion. My sweater was black so i mixed black shadow with gold.

I have applied dark sparkling shade on my lips. Check it out and hope you like it:))



Face-





Chambor liquid foundation



Revlon compact powder





Cheeks-



Loreal blush -Sandalwood pink





Revlon illuminator- gold





Eyes-

The full look:

Hope you would like this for your party.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

Lots of love to my friends and readers<3>

Christmas Plaid Konadicure


More Holiday themed manicures!  I love this color, I used Emerald city from Sally Hansen as a base.  I'd been looking for something like this for a while.  I really like Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, I like their long brushes and their highly pigmented, easy to apply formulas.  This nail polish was no exception, almost opaque in 1 coat, perfect in 2 coats.

Snow in the Sky



So I was online the other day, looking for a Chanel Riva dupe, and I came across several blog posts that name Hard Candy "Sky" as the ultimate winner.  It is indeed a winner, but a dupe? I don't think so.  Hard Candy was big in the nineties, specially if you were a Clueless wannabe.  And they first hit it big because of a little jewel named Sky.  Alicia Silverstone made it famous, and Hard Candy was an instant hit.  More than a decade later, Hard Candy is now available at your local Wal-Mart, and they just re-released the one that started it all.  So for it to be considered a dupe, seems unfair to me.  Yes, they are very similar (from what I see in pictures, I don't own Riva), but Sky came FIRST!

The color is beautiful and you won't be disappointed with the final result, your nails will turn heads.  But the application is a whole other thing…. Very streaky, very sheer, needs 3 coats, kind of a bitch to apply.  I wore it alone for a day, I just wanted to admire this shade on my nails.


Today I stamped a snowflake over them with Konad White Special Polish, and added a few details with silver dots and glitter (Finger Paints Easel come, easel go and Kiss Nail Art in Silver Glitter).  I used plate bm14. 

Something else that happened and made my manicure more difficult is that my top coat is half way through so it got thicker and since the bottle is half empty, it's kind of hard to get the brush completely dipped in the polish and that was very annoying.

In the end, I liked the final result. It is cute, subtle, yet Christmasy, and I need to thank my sister because it was totally her idea and I stole it due to lack of inspiration and plane ol' laziness.
