Holiday Season Must-Have

The Holiday season is here! And we have to be on point in every party, every photo, any time.  Today I am sharing with you what I consider are the must have products this season.

1. Black Eyeliner

Is the season for smokey eyes, and the best complement for a smokey look is black eyeliner.  My favorites:

Maybelline- Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner

This one is my favorite for my cat eye.  I have bought other liquid eyeliners, but I always come back to this one.  You can go from a fine line to a bold one if you want.  The wand helps you be as precise as you want.

Too Faced- Perfect Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner

This eyeliner is so creamy when you put it on, but once it dries its not going anywhere.  In one side you have the eyeliner and in the other you have a smudging tip for the perfect smokey effect.

2. False Lashes

I love falses lashes, I wish I had the time and courage to where them everyday, so when the Holidays are here the false lashes are on.
Ardell are my go to brand, but I’m not picky. I usually buy mine at Walgreens and I will pick up the brand that is on sell as long as they look cute. 

3. Highlighter 

This one is obvious, ’cause of course you have to shine!

Becca x Jaclyn Hill- Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in “Champagne Pop”

I’m so in love with this product, out of 7 days of the week I am sure I use it 5 days.  It’s a golden peach shimmer that looks great in everyone. It’s so pigmented, I use a little dab of this in the top of my cheek bones for an everyday glow, but when I’m feeling more dramatic this goes in the top of my cheek bones, in the inner corner of the eyes, in the brow bone, a bit down the bridge of the nose and in my cupid’s bow.

Benefit- Watts’s Up! Cream to Powder Highlighter

This highlighter was my go to before Champagne Pop (sorry!), but it’s still one of my favorites.  It’s a champagne color too, but this one is more pearly pink.  It looks really pretty.  If you want a more dewy finish this one is for you.
4. Red Lipstick
Red lipstick is a must have in any season, it’s a classic and it’s always in.  I love red lips, daytime with soft/ natural makeup, or nighttime with smokey eye (I don’t follow rules, if you want to wear bold lips and bold eyes, work it!)
I have a couple of favorite red lipsticks, but this one is my favorite of favorites.  It’s matte, but creamy and long wearing.  And the color is so pretty, this one is definitely worth it.

To share with you my love for red lipsticks, starting tomorrow, December 1st, in my Instagram, @steph_silva89 and my Facebook page, “Dreaming Life in Pink”, I will be doing “12 Days of Red Lipsticks”, where I will be sharing 12 of my favorite red lipsticks.  I will love for you join me during those 12 days and let me know your favorite lipsticks, be sure to post your photo on Instagram, tag me, and use the hashtag #12daysofredlipsticks and #dreaminglifeinpink. I have the girls at work up for it, so you will be seeing our photos.
