12 Days of Christmas-Day 1....I'm BACK!

WELL HELLO THERE!!!!! I have been so neglectful and for that I apologize!! :( I could give a whole sob story of why I've been M.I.A., but who cares really? lol So, I'll just jump right to the important stuff. I thought I'd come back and do a 12 Days of Christmas series where I will be posting 12 looks in 12 days (may not be consecutive :)). The looks will be inspired by the season and holidays. Here we go! Day 1: 

I dark shimmery green and red smokey eye seems appropriate, right? lol

I used 3 colors from various inexpensive palettes and Sable from my Lorac Pro palette on the eyes...However, I'd rather you go out and find colors that you all would like to blend with ...There's a really dark shimmery green with gold flecks color from a Wet n Wild palette all over the lid, a pop of a lighter shimmery green in the center of the lid from a LA Colors palette, Sable in the crease which can be duped with any dark brick hued brown, and Red from a Color Workshop palette (which are on sale now in Walmart I'm sure in the cheap gifts section) as the transition color.

(Pix were all taken in different lighting as you can see) I contoured with some of my usuals- MAC blush in Blunt and Black Opal's Deluxe Finishing Powder in Dark for the gradient effect. 

Highlighted a lil with a shimmery loose pigment (that would suck as an eyeshadow lol) by LA Colors, and paired dark brown liner and a reddish hued nude lipstick on the lips. Hope you like! Day 1 of my 12 Days of Christmas!  

See ya soon
