Are you going with a special look for Valentine’s day this year? I tend to opt for Chanel Dragon as my go-to special occasion look, including Valentine’s Day. I’m still undecided about this year, but here are five looks I’ve created that were inspired the holiday!

I have no such occasion for it, but I wore pink and purple to be festive today xP

i love how you did your eyes!
Oops I meant pink and brown xP
oooh i love the peach/plum look (4th down)… i’m definitely gonna try that one with the MAC substitutes! a great color combo i would’ve never thought of! =)
Love these! Christine I noticed that you don’t use liner on your top lashes very often, is that to keep a more neutral/day look or just personal preference? I’ve been trying to find a lasting gel liner that doesn’t get thick and cakey after a while of use. Any suggestions?
It causes major swelling when I do!
They are all wonderful!!
I’m going to wear them….maybe only th one with red lips i won’t wear because i’ve got smel lips =)
I loooove traditional red lips and a neutral eye! Which is what I’ll be wearing tonight out to dinner 😀
Although I did a colourful look for Valentine’s day yesterday 😛

I went for an Anti-Valentines day look of black smokey eyes with Lavender Whip on the lips. On my nails is OPI Houston We Have a Purple, which the husband says looks like deoxygenated blood. lol.
I love the Apollo 13 mission. Hell yes they have a problem! When my day is going bad I think of how I COULD be floating in space with oxygen leaking from the ship. Best of all everyone gets home safe.
The Peach & Plum is so cute.
i did a neutral eye and pink lip look on sat night
eyes – neutral shades from a bb palette and graphite liner and buxom lashes. nars desire lippie
i love your pink and peach look will have to try ot on the next date night 🙂
love your peach and PLUM look 🙂
i am ill… so no make up today 🙁 i would chose the neutral eyes and red lips one!
these are all great looks! i even ended up at the ‘ode to chartreuse’ post which i somehow missed in the rss feed…it’s awesome! i love how varied your looks are…and you look fantastic in all of them!
your dragon look reminded me i still have guerlain’s parure gold foundation on my wish-list…and i happen to have some points i can redeem at murale (bit like sephora) maybe the time has come…
Thank you!! 🙂
Oohh, if you do try, let me know how you like it. Fingers crossed you do!
I wore MUFE 75 (hot pink) in the out corner, stars and rockets on the middle third, and pink opal pigment on the inner third. There also black liner n my upper lid on maraca and I forget what I used to highlight but, its super pretty and I love it
I posted my EOTD on my blog. Of course, I wore red lipstick with it!
soooo pretttyyy:)
love love love the red lip look, christine
Funny, I planned to wear neutral eye shadow with long black cat-eyed eyeliner, Margin on cheeks and Chanel Dragon on lips.
But since I just bought Chanel Ming, finally I wore Ming on lips, purple-plum on eyes and Cargo HD Blush/Highlighter (the pink one) on cheeks last night.
Valentine’s Day is on June 12, here.
I love 3, 4 and 5.
I ended up doing Peach and Plum today, with UD X all over the lid, MAC Star Violet on outer third and corner, MAC Sketch on crease just to deepen a little bit, MAC Ricepaper as highlight. I used MAC Gingerly as blush and MAC Captive + MAC Twig as lipsticks. How about that?
Pretty!!
loveeee all the eye looks.. but don’t like the red lips, all the red I’ve tried made me look much older 🙁
haven’t found my perfect red…
I love your pink & purples!
