Holiday Fun: Alize Gold Passion

Looking for a liqueur to indulge in this holiday? Then look no further than Alizé Liqueur, a French vodka-based liqueur available in five delicious flavors. Whether blended into margaritas, shaken in martinis or drizzled atop champagne, Alizé can stand alone or be beautifully mixed to create unique cocktails perfect for every event – big or small.

Since Christmas Dinner was at my house my mom and I were looking for a signature drink. We wanted one that could be consumed alone & mixed. When I received a sample of Alize Gold Passion I knew I had to try something different!


  We both have never tried any other color than original (the red one). First thing we did .... we took out the stylish shot glasses and took a shot each LOL

Aren't these the most gorgeous shot glasses you have seen in your life!! My momma has style!

This drink is a definite must try for anyone who loves fruity drinks. Since I'm Jamaican the passion fruit taste brought me straight back to the island <3 Love it!

The mixed drink that we are going with is called the Ball Drop:

2 oz Alizé Gold Passion

1 oz coconut rum

1 oz cranberry juice

Mix and serve over ice in a rocks glass.

Garnish with a lime wedge.

If you want to try it out My girl Erica over at Glamorous Gleam has a great tutorial on how to make it!

Have you ever tried Alize?

Do you prefer palettes or single shadows?

Personally I'm torn.. I love the idea of palettes. Everything in one concrete area! Eg. Daytime..Nighttime. But what I hate is that I never use them...unless I'm going on vacation or to a shoot.

I find myself using more single shadows because its easier to pin point what I want. Eg. MAC swiss chocolate & NYX red bean pie is an amazing combo, so I lug those around with me in my makeup bag.

So my question for you is palettes or single shadows?

New Years: Glitter Nails for only $5.00!

I have become such a nail junkie lately.. I think it`s because I follow several nail blogs. They`re sooo inspirational because they always give me ideas on what to do with high & low end polishes. Also some of them give out dupe information. I love the fact that I can get a Chanel dupe at H&M for a fraction of the cost.. makes me happy!

While shopping at Walmart.. which is a lovely place to get your polish fix :) I came across this gorgeous Sally Hanson Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color. In these pictures I layered the glitter over H&M Grey Sky.

This color is called Strobe Light

Strobe light is the best name for this polish because the glitter gives off different colors when the light hits it. I had to take a fuzzy picture (no macro) for you to see how gorgeous it is! Definitely worth the $2.49 price tag.

I got several comments on these nails, so if you try this combo beware because it is a conversation starter....haha.

So there you have it my New Years 2011 nails. Including the H&M polish, they both cost me only $5.00... Also it saves me a trip to the nail salon :)

I will be sharing my New Years dress, hair style, make up, drinks(yum) & festivities with you all this year! So stay tuned :D

Would you wear this nail combo?
