FOTD: Heated Fantasy

Hello lovelies,

I hope you enjoy this FOTD, it's pretty much not your everyday look but great for a night out or dinner night, I wore on the job and everyone loved it, I love stepping out of my usually Neo-soul look so this was what came to mind.  I took out my Wet N Wild new ColorIcon Holiday palette in Night Elf. I pretty much got all the Wet N Wild (WnW) Holiday palettes now and was super excited about this one because of the red color. If you haven't gotten your hands on these yet,  get them now as they are limited edition and it has been the beauty rave on Twitter as everyone is loving the colors and pigmentation which is surprisingly similar and even better than MAC for a lot less in price.

Here are pictures of my look:
