Style Post:Holiday Glam!

Tis the season 

for holiday parties,

special date nights,

performances and 

family get togethers.

The time we spend

dressing up and going out

is at an all time high

the month of December.

For some,

there is delight in the wardrobe

changes and excuses to get all dolled up.

For others, it can be daunting

coming up with a new outfit

or look for every occasion.

Thankfully Kenna

is here to help us!

She was kind enough to 

guest post on Just An Ordinary Family

and give us a make up tutorial

to put together a beautiful, simple 

holiday look for whatever occasion you

are attending.

What I love about 

the look Kenna has put together

for us is that its not overly done up.

It is simple, yet classy and glamorous.

Perfect for date night and a family reunion.

Watch Kenna below to see how she does it! 

Below are a list of the products Kenna used,

with the link on where to find it.

I am a wife and mother to two sweet boys. I am a lover of all things beauty and have a true passion for enhancing women's natural beauty with the power of makeup.

My Ipsy Bag and the Perfect Polish

Back in the winter I was feeling frustrated

with my constant purchasing of make up.

It seemed like something was always running out,

and I was always having to make a new decision

on which product was the best.

Buying make up is something I am not into.

I couldn't find a liquid foundation that would stay on my face.

My eyeliner was running under my eyes.

I am to timid to branch out and explore

different lip and eye colours.
There are too many choices
and I don't like spending money on something that
I am not certain is a good purchase.

Every day I have the same make up routine.
It rarely varies, unless I am going out for a special occasion.

In the summer, I generally skip putting anything on my face

besides a daily moisturizer with SPF.
I keep it my make up routine pretty basic and straight forward.
Eyebrows, eyes and cheeks.

Once I found out about Ipsy,
I knew it would be something I would be interested in.
It completely took away the annoyance of
deciding on which product to choose.
Plus, I get to look forward to a fun
bright pink package in my mailbox once a month
filled with make up goodies.

When you sign up online
you choose which products and brands
interest you.
You also choose a style and what your tones and colours are.
For instance,
I chose a more natural style,
told them that I am a brunette with blue eyes and an olive skin tone.
Each month the products they send me
 are the shades which would compliment me best.

I have been subscribing to Ipsy for the last 6 months,
and in that time I have received only two, maybe three,
products I haven't been fond of.
Sometimes the product is a full size item,
and sometimes they are sample size.
My favourite items have been a sample of perfume,
a gel nail polish that lasts a seriously long time
and an eyebrow pencil.

If you are a lover of make up,
or like me enjoy wearing make up and don't like picking it out,
I would highly recommend subscribing to Ipsy.
The cost is $10 per month in the United States
and $15 a month in Canada.
