Lunar New Year Inspired EOTD

Today's the first day of the Lunar New Year (For me it'd be Tết or the Vietnamese New Year. Many countries derive the New Year off of the Chinese Calendar but my family specifically celebrates using the Vietnamese New Year customs) so chúc mừng năm mới or Happy New Year!

Anyway, I wanted to do a look based off of two traditional colors for the New Year, red and gold.

I've been getting ready for Tết all week and this Saturday I'll be going to a Tết Festival so I'm pretty excited for that. Tomorrow is my first day of school and I'm not as excited for school because it means break will be ending but I'm hoping school will be good this semester. After 3 1/2 years I've got a Friday class :( I've got a few posts queued up for the next few days and I'm going to try to balance school with blogging or do a little less blogging.

  2. Love+ is my most favorite red eyeshadow of all time. I love the flicked eyeliner. Is the PF Eye Booster a liner that comes in a pot, or does it have an applicator attached?
