Plums and Grays for the Holidays: Affordable Eyes, Lips and Tips

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I love dramatic, and fun, holiday makeup– especially for New Years Eve, but let's face it that is hardly the type of makeup that most of us would wear during the rest of the year. For that very reason, and because I am a pragmatist by nature, I see no reason to splurge on expensive luxury makeup for these occasions. Instead, I seek viable alternatives in the aisles of my favorite drugstores.

For a dramatic, and festive, palette of colors plums and grays definitely deliver, and you can find what you need from Rimmel London and Sally Hansen. Here are a few of my current favorites for your perusal.
Left to Right: Stay Matte Liquid Lipstick in Plum This Show, Midnight and Shadow. Magnif'Eyes Mono Eye Shadow in Show Off and Scandal Eyes Eye Shadow Stick in Guilty Grey.

Guilty Grey is a gorgeous shimmering gunmetal gray that can be used as an all-over the lid color or as a liner.
Sally Hansen is my favorite drugstore nail polish brand, and it never disappoints!
