With the Holiday Season in full effect it's time for our fav things.......PARTIES!!! We luuurve any great excuse to dress up and not look like tomboys for a second.
And what's better than a party?...A holiday party. And what makes a Holiday party even better? Fun makeup! Well fun makeup and champagne that is.
Finally festive makeup gets its due attention. Who doesn't love a good red lip or sparkly glittery eye?
No really? Who? Just tell us...seriously tell us? Hee hee.
OK, you don't have to say a word but trust us ladies of Things We Heart...they will after this post. And if they don't...um...well...nothing...
So let's jump on our sleigh of sparkle...our wagon of wonder...our hybrid of holiday makeup...our car of crismon...our...OK OK... we will stop.
Here we go..all aboard our boat of beauty...Sorry hee heeee.
The number 1 go to holiday makeup item are red lips.
Luscious deep, red lips. You could literally keep your whole face clean (well a bit o' blush and concealer can't hurt) and pop on some red and look done.
MACs Viva Glam is a universally flattering deep red color. It will truly look amazing on everyone!
And the best part? They donate 100% of the proceeds of each sale to the fight against HIV/AIDS. That's worth it right there.

But if you are looking for a brighter more true red that lasts thru your 4th glass of champers then look no further than Loreal's Endless Lipstick in Crimson Joy.
I think I shall pick up a tube of this ASAP considering my hankering for a champagne proof lip color.

Another amazing way to look full o' cheer? Sparkly eye makeup....yup liner and shadow.
Well, maybe not together but both are suuper sexy and crazy alluring.

One swipe of Nars' Silent Night gold glam shadow and you are good to go!
The gold flecks of glittering gold are g-g-gorgeous!

Our newest crush in shadows are the ones that are practically luminescent (or chrome-like if you apply with a slightly heavier hand)...not glittery or shimmery but glowy.
We suuuper heart these 3 colors from Bobby Brown.
Ppsst...try the pewter for a lightly smoldering eye...hotness!
PS Both these shadows are begging for red lips! Just use a light hand when applying.
We have been OBSESSED with glittery eyeliner since my bout with turquoise glitter incident at Miss Me's wedding.
We were made fun of but looking back it was sooo pretty! We now have about 10 different colors and as we went thru them for this post we found the 2 perfect ones for the holidays. You're welcome!
Sephora makes a great black and silver specked pencil liner that is super easy to use.
And now they created an entire kit for the perf glittering eye look!
Easy breezy beautiful...we love the silver liquid one that you can put on the tip of your lashes for a come hither look.

Last week at our bi-weekly jaunt into XXI, we came across a super great sparkling liquid liner in gold and silver.
It would look amazing lining a small part of your top OR bottom lid.

Now, for an over all "glow" that looks more like your skin is made of pearl rather than shimmer, we are crazy in heartville with Too Faced Candlelight glowing powder.
It makes you look lit within and ethereal...we'll take it!
