I started with eye shadow primer and skin like shade all over the lid. Then I added a bit of taupe brown in the crease and darker forest green in the outer corner of my eye. I added a true dark green shade all over the lid. 

I also used the forest green around the lower lash line and then added a true green all over and more toward inner corner. In the center of the lid I used a more yellow toned brown just to give it some more dimension.

In the inner corner of the eye I used metallic silver based green shade. Next was my usual winged liner and then I added glittery gold eye liner all over the mobile part of my lid. This will make it sparkle every time your look down. I finished with mascara and skipped false lashes, because I didn't want to hide all the gorgeous glittery goodness. 

On the rest of my face I used foundation with high coverage and concealed any imperfections. I also added some powder. For my definition I used contour kit and contoured my outer edges of the face. I used a very shimmery champagne gold highlighter, because when, if not on Christmas?! I also used my favorite peach shimmery blush to give me some extra glow.

On my lips I used a bright red lipstick with a darker lip liner to give it more of a 3D look. I also tried this look with a tad bit more neutral shade, which is like a dirty mauve pink brown matte lipstick, just to give you another option. 

That's my sparkly green and red Christmas makeup look. Fairly simple, but also pretty colorful. What do you think about this? Too much color or just enough?

Advent Calendar comes in a paper box with pretty Christmas tree design and small windows, which hide different pieces of jewelry. Each piece is securely hidden. Longer necklaces are protected with plastic bag.

You can also open the box and see all of the pieces at once, but you would kind of lost the whole fun part with that. I did that for my review purposes, but only, when I already opened about 8 doors. You can see that all pieces are really dainty and pretty much classic with interesting pendants. 

I really like this and I wasn't expecting much. My personal style includes dainty necklaces and bracelets. I also like bangle bracelets and huge statement necklaces. It's really all or nothing with me. I also like to wear earring, but lately I haven't worn them as much. Since I got this calendar I'm falling back in love. 

Dainty jewelry is especially nice to pair with every day wear and style. It also looks great with over the top outfits, because it doesn't look too much. 

In the upper row you'll get three classic round stud earrings. You'll have a great range of silver, gold and classic pearl like earrings. These really go with everything. 

You'll also get snowflake silver looking earrings, bracelet and necklace. They all share this cute detailed snowflake design, which is perfect for this colder season. It will give you some extra sparkle to your outfits and makeup.

Next is also a set of three: earrings, bracelet and necklace with beautiful gold bow design. What can be more pretty and feminine? It looks like you're a gift and it suits all kinds of classic to girly outfits. 

You'll also get a set of earrings, bracelet and necklace with gold heart design. Hearts are again one of those pretty, still classic shapes, which will also suit most of outfits and makeups. 

I am one of those people who loves to wear gold toned jewelry and I am very happy, that most of it is gold in this set. Snowflakes stole my heart, especially earrings. I don't even care that they're silver. 

In total you get 6 pairs of earrings, 3 bracelets and 3 necklaces. Regular price is 25€, but you can now get it for 17.90€ (Slovenia), which is 1.49€ for one piece of jewelry. It doesn't get any better than that. I think the price is actually really affordable now. Sometimes one necklaces can cost you 15€ in some stores, so I find this to be a really good deal.

Jewelry is a mix of some metals, although it doesn't say which, so I can't tell you. It's obviously not real gold or silver.

I don't wear much of silver jewelry, because to me it always seems like it has to be paired with cool toned makeup or clothes. I paired these stud earrings with pink lipstick. 

Gold is my colors, because it looks apart with my yellow toned skin tone. I went for something more daring this time and I paired it with chocolate brown lipstick, which has been very popular this year. I think gold looks just as rich as those chocolate tones and they match perfect together. 

Pearl like stud earrings are a classic and as such, I paired them with the always classic blue toned red lipstick. You really can't go any more classy than this. 

Snowflakes set is a true beauty and the most intricate design out of all of these. It looks so pretty with any kind of classic or even more colorful wintery makeup. 

I had these earring in my Whimsical Wintery Makeup post.

Bow set is probably my favorite set of all these. I love bows and the fact that they're gold means I like them even more. It's such a pretty design and it really goes with a lot of different makeups. I still prefer it with something warmer. 

Hearts set is another pretty classic design. It does look a bit too girly and not really after my taster, but I can make it work, when I just wear one piece of jewelry. It's definitely more feminine or even girly and it softens any makeup look. I love pairing this with softer makeup looks for that romantic feel. 

The jewelry is well made and the clasps work good. I haven't had any problems with color coming off, especially from gold jewelry. All the necklaces are long enough to hand just around or above your sweater collar. I will say that bracelets are a bit too big for my super skinny wrists, but that means it has been developed with different sized people in mind, which is good. I can still make it work. 

The concept of this gift set is that you get a new piece of jewelry every month, although I have been treating it more as an advent calendar, so every new piece of jewelry every other day until Christmas. So feel free to get this for someone as a gift, because it's not just for Christmas. If you're one of those who loves dainty pieces of jewelry, I highly recommend you to get this one. The price right now is amazing and all designs are super pretty. If you think not all are for you, you can easily gift wrap the ones you don't like and gift them to others. This way you'll get something for yourself as well as your loved ones. 

Before I start any manicure, I always apply base coat to my nails. Then I painted all my nails, except ring finger, with matte red nail polish.

I used three different sized gold glittery nail polishes. I applied them all with a bit of sponge. First layer was the finest tinniest gold glitter or rather shimmer. Then I added a bit bigger glittery spots and at the end I used irregular the biggest gold glittery parts. I also applied first layer of glitter the highest and slowly went down. The last glittery polish is concentrated only at the tips of my nails to give you that glitter ombre effect.

On my ring finger I applied metallic gold nail polish and I added those big gold particles of glitter to make it super sparkly. 

I did apply top coat, but only to the part where I applied glitter, because I wanted to leave my red nail polish still looking matte at the top.

The nail polishes I used:

Simple, but effective, as I like to call this manicure. It will get you noticed, but you'll look apart next to your Christmas tree. What is your favorite Christmas combination for nails?
