TUTORIAL | Get Ready With Me, Christmas + NYE Edition! Smoky Pink Makeup and Tousled Curls

The holidays are my favorite time of year to get dressed up, but it can be hard to find time or inspiration because there's always too much to do! I tried to show you a look that can be done quickly but still look amazing in pictures without looking too dramatic in real life. Although there are a lot of concealers and prep involved because of brightening up the complexion, I thought it was necessary to demonstrate all the steps because many of us are sick and/or sleep deprived right now!

On Eyes: Strange, Limit + Nooner, Blackheart, Dust and Factory

As stated in the introduction, I used several new products that I ordered from Sephora. It's always difficult to use products for the first time on camera, but the risk paid off this time because the Surratt products I chose this round are phenomenal. His lip products I've tried in the past were average at best (too drying), but the Surratt brow pencil and highlighter really surprised me! I've already ordered a few more in different colors to see how they perform, so keep an eye out for updates soon. I hope you find the video helpful and enjoy all the beauty chit chat! xo

Since I have fallen in love with Eve by Eve's phenomenal lipsticks and eyeliners, I wanted to share my thoughts on their skin care products as well. The white and gold packaging is understated yet sophisticated. Even the glossy boxes and linen boxes look luxe, so they would make lovely gifts this Christmas!

BEST OF | Beauty Gifts and Stocking Stuffers from Sephora

Although I mostly shop online, I walked into Sephora last week to browse and do a little research. I was happy to see items from my wishlist that were out of stock on the website — like Sunday Riley's duo! There were so many incredible deals, I couldn't resist purchasing a few items for myself. I also bought several mini-sized and deluxe-sized holiday gift sets to split up into goodie bags and to use as stocking stuffers, so I wanted to share my ideas in hopes they may help you! I tried to pick as many affordable yet worthwhile products as possible xo
