New Years Eve 2011

I'm sure everyone has plans for NYE (New Year's Eve,) right? Many restaurants and other establishments are always offering special packages for dinner and drinks, which you can follow up with dancing the night away, and a champagne toast at midnight.  Even hotel packages are available so you don't have to drive home after all the festivities-- best to be safe! I'm betting that you ladies have your NYE wardrobe picked out and ready to go! It's probably something sultry with lots of sparkle and shine, or luxurious textures like silk or velvet... But have you thought about your makeup?

This is the time of year to go all out and sport the 'glitz and glam' looks that don't usually fly on just any given Sunday! Have you ever wanted to try a dark and smoky eye-- or maybe some shimmer, or glitter-- something you've seen in magazines from the Runways?? Well here's your chance, your carte blanche opportunity to go for it! Some great ideas are listed here: http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2011/12/makeup-ideas-celeb-inspired-looks-for-new-years-eve.html. If you want to bump it up even more, while staying away from the avant-garde looks of Lady Gaga, I'd suggest adding a small amount of glitter eyeliner in the inner corners and a strip of false lashes, to make your peepers pop! To try: Stila Glitter Eyeliner http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml;jsessionid=2DRDZ1EHCZEI4CV0KQLQIGQ?id=P279707&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=3865, and Ardell Fashion Lashes http://www.drugstore.com/ardell-fashion-lashes-strip-lash-120-black/qxp21724?catid=183642&fromsrch=ardell.

Happy New Year!!
