FOTD Birthday Edition!

Today is my official birthday!

I want to thank all of my close friends for coming out and surprising me on Saturday.  It touched my heart beyond what words can express.

Unfortunately, I had too much "fun" at dinner and did not take any pictures of this surprise, or my dress!

The only photos I have were taken with my iPhone, so they are not the best quality, and of course they are of my makeup.  I was very happy with the outcome.  It was a very simple, yet sexy look that focused on playing up the eyes.  Exactly what I was going for.

Champagne Toast: Neutral Colors

Hello Sweeties!

I've been a little under the weather and blue.  Going through some personal life issues... but I'm back!

Lately I've been very much into Celine Dion, Lancome, and baguettes.  Don't judge me.

So naturally, I wanted to do a look inspired by champagne (with a little kiss of strawberry)?  Yes, in my head it makes perfect sense.

A lovely subscriber requested a neutral look, so I kept that in mind when doing this, but have no fear, I have another one coming.  My next neutral look will be a little softer on the liner, and matte.

The pop of coral pink lipstick and touch of gold shimmer makes this look fun and spunky, while browns and nudes keep it from being over the top. 

Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!
