Happy Holidays!

I hope you have a joyous holiday season and a very blessed new year!

It has been quite a year, that is for sure.  As I look back over ten years in writing about beauty here at Beautiful Makeup Search, I cannot say thank you enough to you, my readers. It is always my pleasure to talk here about the latest and greatest in beauty. I am more than honored to have people that turn to me everyday as their trusted beauty source.

Robert Verdi's Holiday Gift Guide.

Robert Verdi, super fun style expert, recently held his annual holiday gifting presentation at his Luxe Lab in New York City.. I was invited to this super fun tweet up, but could not make it.  I did follow along on Twitter for Robert's recommendations, and I like what he suggested.

Lucky for us that could not attend, he put together a great Holiday Gift Guide video so we could all see what he recommended. Check it out below!

Celebrate with Essie's Cocktail Bling.

Who doesn't like to dress up during the holidays? There is no time like the present to adorn yourself with fabulous color. How about on your nails? The newest color collection from essie is all about color and is appropriately called Cocktail Bling!

The collection is inspired by the precious stones and metals that we love to accessorize ourselves with at holiday cocktail parties – think Rubies, Sapphires and Emeralds, oh my! These new colors are definitely worth
celebrating.

Like any great accessory, jewelry makes a statement. So I say, the bigger the better! Whether you wear rings, bangles, pendants or brooches – size matters!” says Essie Weingarten, founder of essie cosmetics. “The same is true with color for Winter 2011 – the bolder the better.”

The essie winter 2011 collection consists of six festive, luminous shades ($8 each) that evoke the beguiling beauty of the world of gems, which are sure to cause a sensation this season.

Cocktail Bling  - Precious Pale Gray Jewel

Size Matters - Blazing Hot Ruby Red
Brooch The Subject - Creamy Cashmere Cameo
