Happy New Year guys! I wish you all the best in this new year and hope that it is filled with many blessings, joy and happiness. 2013 had it’s ups and downs for me but I am truly grateful to be alive to see another year, and to get another fresh start. This was my very first time going out to celebrate as I usually just bring in the new year with a party at my place or celebrating with my family. My boyfriend and I along with a few other friends attended a private surprise birthday party very close to the festivities in Times Square. We had an amazing time and I am really glad that we went out and tried something different. I decided on a smokey eye look accentuated with glitter and a nude lip to go along with my simple, yet still sexy not so little black dress. I was feeling very Audrey Hepburn-ish, couldn’t tell me nothing lol.
I absolutely love the way this smokey eye look turned out.

Thank you, JoJo!
Love it! I am always afraid the smokey eye will make me look like a raccoon. But yours is so nice. It doesn’t look heavy/caked on. More playing for me. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome and thank you. I know what you mean because I definitely had the raccoon look on my first few attempts at a smokey eye. Took a lot of practice and I’m still working on it. Number one tip blend, blend, blend! Lol
Gorgeous. I also went out for NYE for the first time ever and it was so amazing.
Thank you, Sherry. The next thing I would like to experience is celebrating the holidays away from home… maybe in Vegas or overseas!
Girl, you look gorgeous and that makeup is to die for!!!!
