We’re basically on the cusp of December, so from here on out it’s all holidays, all the time, and that definitely means more holiday makeup.

This purple smoky eye might look more complicated than it really is, but you can totally handle it. If you can blend even just a wee bit, you can follow along with this tutorial, which shows how to do the eyes, complexion makeup and cheeks. And there are also four different ideas for lip combos.

If you like your makeup on the affordable side, you’ll definitely want to press play, since almost all of the makeup I used in this video is from Boots No7. Many of the items are less than $10 each.

Oh, and if you haven’t already, don’t forget to enter the Boots No7 anti-aging serum giveaway.

      • It went really well, thank you for asking. We had one meal at his parents house, then in the evening we went over his grandpa’s house for another gathering. His nieces and nephew really liked me 🙂 But his family def made me feel like I was part of their family!

        Btw, I had a dream last night that it was my birthday and you came over with a giant folder filled with cute cat pictures for me 🙂 It was really cute!

        • HAHA! What a funny dream. The thing is that is something I would totally do. It would be, like, the version of a baby book for Tabs. Your dreams are better than mine. Did I ever tell you that being pregnant makes you have all sorts of weird dreams? Mine are more like nightmares. 🙁 I wake up at least a few times a week from them.

          Aww, I’m glad that you got along with his family. That’s always a HUGE plus!

  11. Purple (and blue) always look SO nice on you! 🙂 Hope your week is off to a good start and that you had a great Thanksgiving and weekend. I’m off to catch up, now!

      • It was nice, thanks for asking! My mom got a fresh turkey from a local farmer this year and, when she picked it up, it was 31.6 lbs. We barely got it in the oven! There were only 7 of us so, we’re still eating turkey, of course. 🙂

  13. Love those purples! I’ve been wanting to try Boots products for years but I have a tendency (which I am overcoming!) to steer clear of makeup brands I’m unfamiliar with because I’m afraid of wating money on a item I don’t like. I’ve heard that Walgreens will be carrying the Boots line & I know they have a great return policy.

    • Thanks, Rachel! I know you love wearing color so I think you might enjoy the New Romance Palette featured here. The creamy sparkly purple shadow (the one I’m wearing in the center of the lids) is also fun and colorful too. Next time you’re at Target check ’em out. And if you need any other recs from Boots let me know. 🙂
