The end of the year always conjures up visions of holiday galas that I neither host nor attend. But that doesn’t stop me from planning for them. Steel restaurant makes a cocktail they call a cosmo bianco. I believe its components are vodka, white cranberry juice, and fresh lime, and they bring you a clear aperitif in a sugar-rimmed glass with three cranberries floating in it. It looks unbelievably festive.
Anyway, to help you get ready (makeup-wise) for any galas you may need to attend, I’m going to send one lucky winner NARS Melusine eyeshadow duo (swatched here).
