Holiday Dragon FOTD

Hello my lovelies!  I was in an experimental mood today and I decided to play around with holiday party makeup ideas.  I knew I wanted to wear Dragon at some point this holiday season so I tried to pair it with a bold eye.  I just wasn't sure what I wanted to do...

Another thing I knew I wanted to wear sometime this holiday season was MAC Patina.  I think it is such a gorgeous color and the gold patina in it really reminds me of Christmas for some reason.  It looks sort of rustic-y and when I think of Christmas I think of rustic scenery: chopped wood, pinecones dusted in snow, and HELLO, can we say tree (as in the thing that is in our house all month with presents under it)?  Don't ask me how but MAC's Patina just reminds me of all that... and its golden tones remind me of beautiful ribbons... I digress... enough with my thought process behind Patina for holiday parties! lol

After I had the look thrown together something was missing so I added some falsies that I had been wanting to wear for months and never thought of a good reason... Well... this is as good of a reason as any.  I was very happy with how well the entire look pulled together after I placed those on my lash line...







The lashes I used were some that I got in a set with the Michael Kors Very Hollywood perfume from the CCO earlier this year.  As soon as I saw them I KNEW they were dupes for the MAC #7 lashes.  They are both Estee Lauder brands so they probably are the same thing.  I am happy to say that they are very nice.  


You know how I love Instagram! haha
