Almost every year there are lots of holiday parties in my neighborhood: Progressive cocktail party, ladies’ Yankee Swap party, New Year’s Eve party, New Year’s Day open house. I look forward to them all. It’s a great chance to catch up with neighbors that I don’t get to see very often now that winter is setting in and everyone is inside most of the time. But this year, some of the host families are taking a break from party-giving. So Jeff and I still have to figure out how we’ll spend New Year’s Eve. I’m sure we’ll come up with something, and just in case, I started thinking about what to wear and what makeup look would go with my outfit and be festive too.
I have written a number of posts on my love of all things rose gold: jewelry, clothing, makeup. As a redhead, I look for occasions to wear rose gold. So how nice of Mirabella Beauty to send the limited-edition 4 piece Faerie holiday collection – gorgeous, shimmery makeup, some in rose gold – to me and to the members of The Beauty Council to jumpstart our New Year’s Eve holiday looks.
So don’t forget to check out how the other Beauty Council gals use their Faerie makeup from Mirabella to create looks of their own.
I decided to wear my copper sweater with shiny copper pailettes. Not only is it a great holiday sweater, but I like the fact that the colors are a little different from traditional red, green, gold and silver. I also dug into my jewelry box and found my citrine and gold chandelier earrings. Next I chose makeup to enhance those key pieces of my New Year’s Eve outfit.
From Mirabella’s Faerie collection, I received:
- Swirling Pearl Brilliant mineral highlighter: a sheer pearl shimmer almost too beautiful in the compact to use!
- Myth visionary eyeshadow, a bronze long-lasting shadow with a silky texture that sets to a satin matte buildable powder finish
- two high-shine Colour Luxe lip glosses: Luminosity – stunning rose gold shimmer gloss and Gossamer – soft pink gloss, both of which are vitamin-enriched and contain anti-oxidants that protect and have anti-aging benefits. Yes!
To create my finished look, I went shopping in my makeup stash to find products that would work with the shimmery Faerie products.
Here’s everything I used:
Face
- IT Cosmetics CC Cream: I mixed Fair and Light
- Stila Pink Pointsettia cream blush from the LE Under The Mistletoe palette, a shade that’s between peach and brick, on the apples of my cheeks
- Faerie by Mirabella Swirling Pearl Brilliant mineral highlighter above my cheekbones
- Maybelline Dream Wonder Powder
Eyes
- Urban Decay Anti-aging Eye Primer
- Urban Decay On The Run Palette: rose gold on the lid, medium brown in the crease
- Urban Decay On The Run Palette: Stag, a brown-black eye pencil to tightline and along the lashline
- Faerie by Mirabella Myth visionary eyeshadow on the outer V
- L’Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Intenza Mascara on my lashes curled with my Shiseido Lash Curler
Lips
- Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in “Get Ready”
- Faerie by Mirabella Colour Luxe Lip Gloss in Luminosity, the rose gold shimmer
If we go out to a party or somewhere nice, I may add false lashes to the look. I’m showing this kinda weird pic so you can see a least a little bit of my sweater and earrings.
The Faerie collection created the inspiration for my coppery-rose gold New Year’s Eve look. In addition to using the Faerie collection for New Year’s Eve, the pieces are easily incorporated in everyday looks – especially the eyeshadow and lip glosses. Frankly, if I could wear the stunning Swirling Highlighter every day, I certainly would! A little highlighter to go to Market Basket or jog around the ‘hood? Why not! Check out these swatches!
Here’s a close-up swatch of the Faerie highlighter so you can see its gorgeousness better.
Mirabella makeup is new to me, and I feel good about using it. It’s natural mineral makeup, it’s made in Italy, and it’s cruelty-free. It’s sold at professional salons and at mirabellabeauty.com. The lip glosses are priced at $26, the Myth eye shadow at $29, and the stunning highlighter that will last a good long time at $40.
Now check out the other Beauty Council members’ New Year’s Eve looks! And Happy New year!!

I like everything in this collection and it pairs well with other makeup I already have.

I feel the same way, Mercedes. It worked so well with my new Laura Mercier portable palette & UD On The Run palette. I love it
This looks wonderful on you. I love the copper sweater with the beautiful look. Simply gorgeous!!
Thank you so much, Jamie. I was happy to get a chance to do a “test run” before the real event!
This collection is universally-flattering!
Couldn’t agree more! It looks lovely and different on everyone 🙂
You look so pretty and festive!
Thank you so much, Laura! I haven’t been feeling too festive, but I’m glad we are going out on New Year’s Eve so I can do it all over again. I hope the holidays are going well for you!!
I love your sweater… so pretty! I love the look you created! Definitely a great collection and I love seeing how everyone makes use of it 😀 xo
Me, too! Everyone’s looks were different. I want to try Myth as eyeliner and lipstick like Anastasia did next time
The gloss itself looks amazing on you !
Betzy, I cheated with a lipstick underneath the gloss. The gloss alone wouldn’t be enough color for me 😉
Your look is so lovely. I adore that shadow, too. I used it with shadows from Naked on the Run and they worked so beautifully together. And that highlighter! Yassss!
Erika recently posted…New Year’s Eve Ready with Mirabella
I used Myth along with two of the shadows from Naked On The Run too. It was as if they were made for each other! Yes, the highlighter was la piece de la resistance 🙂
These colors look so great on you. Hope you find something you want to do on NYE. I’m probably staying home, calming my dogs from the local fireworks.
Now, we actually have two things to do so I will get to wear some makeup after all! I love fireworks, but I know that dogs hate em 🙁
I really like the peachy lip gloss (2nd swatch). I don’t have anything like it. I mostly buy purples and pinks for some reason 😛
Monica.
The peachy gloss is actually a true rose gold gloss, and it works well for me. I don’t have any purple glosses, but I should try one.
I loved how wearable these were as well!

They amazed me in terms of how they looked great on everyone regardless of skintone!
I’m totally loving this collection – it looks fabulous on everyone who is wearing it!
I agree! So amazing that it’s universally flattering 🙂
You look so pretty! Love that lip colour on you!
gio recently posted…Know Your Ingredients: Hexyl Laurate
Thanks a lot, Gio! The lip color is a combo of Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie “Get Ready” with the rose gold lipgloss from Mirabella’s Faerie Collection over it 🙂
You look amazing! Love these shades!
Thanks, Lisa! Yes, these are neutrals with punch 🙂
This all looked so pretty on you!
Justina recently posted…Mirabella New Year’s Eve Look
Thanks a lot, Justina! Love how it look wonderful and different on all of us!
A lovely look. The highlighter does look gorgeous. And I love your sparkly sweater! I love sparkly clothes myself!
Agata recently posted…Urban Decay Naked on the Run Makeup Look
Thank you, Agata! I think you would love the highlighter!
You are so ready to party! I love the eyeshadow with your eyes they just pop with your hair! And you sweater is fabulous, unfortunately I’m still carrying a baby around so I can’t wear that stuff yet without scratching him or him pulling them out
Jessica recently posted…Bring in the New Year with Mirabella The Beauty Council Edition
Thank you, Jessica! Enjoy this time with your little one. Before you know it, she’ll be toddling around and you’ll be back to spangles 😉
Gorgeous look as always, Allison! And the lip gloss shows up really well on your lips, I like it a lot.
Thank you, Anastasia! I adore the look you created with Myth. Just amazing. The reason the lipgloss shows up on me is I’m wearing it over Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie “Get Ready” lipstick 😉
