Best Beauty Products

If gold isn’t quite your style when it comes to the holidays, how about silver? I personally love wearing silver as an eyeliner or as an eyeshadow base for a smoky eye.

  1. Lit Tinsel Town — a glittering, holographic silver perfect for adding sparkle and dazzle to any look
  2. Maybelline Silver Strike — a bright, metallic silver that’s easy to use as an eyeliner or as a cream eyeshadow
  3. Urban Decay Cuff — a bright, silver eyeliner with a soft metallic sheen
  4. NYX Ice Glitter — silver and holographic glitter top coat to add just that touch of wintry dazzle to your nails
  5. Inglot #447 — a bright, light metallic silver powder eyeshadow that opens and brightens the eye

I love Cuff! I’m going to wear it to see the movie Frozen today 🙂 (yes, I am a big kid)

Another silvery favourite of mine is Chanel’s Illusion d’Ombre in Fantasme. You can put that stuff basically anywhere and it adds the most gorgeous subtle sparkle. Perfect for Christmas!

I’m not heavily into silver shadows or liners, etc. The only silver shadows I have are those that came in pre-made palettes. There is a silvery taupe shadow in my beloved Guerlain Les Fumes that I love bit it’s not really a silver at all and it’s the sort of shade that I can wear every day for work, etc. For a true silver, the only one I have is Ooh & Aah from TF Enchanted Glamourland but I rarely use it.
