Christmas + moving + makeup!

Hi everyone!!! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and I hope you spent it with the people you love most like I did! Christmas is the best time of the year for my family because we make SUCH a big deal out of it. Christmas Eve is my grandparents on my dad's side anniversary and this year they celebrated 53 years of marriage! AMAZING! 

This year my husband got me a CHI touch screen hair dryer, a Nume Megastar straightener and of course our trip to Jamaica. And from my family I got the clarasonic Mia 2 that I wanted so badly!!! And lots of cute clothes!! My cousin got a MacBook Pro and I am seriously jealous... My birthday is coming up and I know my hubby is reading sooooo... Hint hint. ;) 

I have been having a blast with my family! When we are all together we act so silly and are laughing non stop. Without them, I don't know how I could handle my husband not being here for the holidays. I miss my hubby so much and it's really sad when he misses stuff like this but he always makes an effort to make his time home so special so it makes times like these a little easier. For Christmas he wanted a puppy, so a puppy is what he got! We are so in love with our new little pup, he is just the sweetest thing.

Meet Tex.

We finally sold our house and we close next month! We searched and searched for a new house for months and couldn't find the perfect one so we decided to build a custom home with Mason Trendsetters! I am so pleased with our decision even though that means we won't get to move into a new house right away, because it will be so worth it in the end! We already had one meeting with them where we got the rough draft floor plan, decided the sq footage, how many rooms and basically just told them everything that we want our new house to have! We are so excited for this next chapter in our life! I plan on blogging about the whole process and posting pics when there are pics to post! It's so funny, the house were going to be living in while ours is being built is the house I lived in when I was born til I was 3 years old and it's been in my family for about 50 years! So cool when life comes full circle like that!

 

I was loving my Christmas Eve make up! I used the color taupe (lorac pro) for the crease and also to blend everything out at the end, deep purple (lorac pro) to define outer corner and also for my lower lash line and the NYX pearl pigment on my lid. Pigments can be tricky, be sure to use a brush with some kind of makeup setting liquid to apply them or else you will have a big mess! I sprayed my flat shader brush with urban decay's all nighter makeup setting spray, but mac fix+ will work too! (Too faced makes a "glitter glue" specifically for pigments and glitter but I haven't tried it)


XOXO- Kelsey <3
