For my makeup this year I plan to wear something classic: neutral smoky eyes and a red lippie, like one of those new Colorlicious Lipsticks from COVERGIRL. They come in 36 pretty shades and feature hydrating formula with shea butter and long staying power. For this look I chose Succulent Cherry, but I think I will go back to Walmart and pick up Ravishing Rose and Darling Kiss as well. I know, I know, I’m totally a nudes/neutrals girl π
Of course I want to wear something special, too. Normally, I’d bust out one of my two favorite merino wool Winter dresses, but I already attended several family events in them this year. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not like those snobby celebrities who wear every outfit once and then let it collect dust, but wouldn’t you feel a bit weird if you went to a family Christmas, and notice that your cousin Ana is wearing the same dress as the one you saw her in for Thanksgiving?
And this is where Rent The Runway comes in! I like that I can just rent a designer dress for the weekend, and they will even ship me an extra in another size just in case the first one doesn’t fit. I was sent a $50 gift card to try out the service, and being the indecisive donkey I am, I somehow managed to narrow it down to three choices, but I need your help!
My criteria for the dress is a) pretty, but not too dressy; b) not sleeveless; c) comfortable. Which one would you pick from the choices above? There were tons of other dresses of course, with sequins, crystals, and pretty prints but a family get together is not exactly an event that warrants such glamorous attire.

Personally, I like 1 and 3, but I think 2 would look nice on you!
Thank you! I’ve been thinking about #2, it has that sporty-looking cut and the reviews all say it’s super comfortable and stretchy. We need that stretch for the Holidays, haha π
For my personal style, the third one is p e r f e c t i o n, but I think that either one or three would look stunning on you! π
It’s so pretty and feminine! If I could buy it, I’d get them in several different colors – black, blue, red, and maybe something funky like lime green or yellow. Thanks for your opinion!
You look beautiful in red lipstick. I pick #3 … in red π lol xoxo
Thank you Deborah, you are so sweet! I’m still learning how to wear red because I don’t think my lip shape is that great, but it always looks amazing on celebrities π If #3 was available in red, I’d probably pick it, too – it’s such a pretty dress!
I’ve only ever tried Covergirl eye shadows so I’d love to try their other products. That lipstick looks great on you, the perfect shade of red for the festive season! Thanks for this great giveaway too!
I like dress 3
I’m not doing anything at all fancy for the holidays, I will be enjoying counting down to the new year with my family. If I was going out I would definitely pick dress #3. I love the color and the lace and I would pair it with leopard or a pair of shoes that really pops.
Love the lipstick color! Right here at home family cooking for holidays, my bday Christmas Eve and Christmas all in one. Thanx for the chance!!
I like 1 and 3 they are classic and they are pretty so choose those and I understand what you mean about not wanting to wear the same clothes you wore to all the family gathering. My partner is half russia and now i understand why we always have to celebrate new’s eve more than xmas itsled
the lipstick looks amazing on you! π i haven’t even thought about what i’m going to wear and how i’m going to look. i also haven’t tried rent the runway, but def need to check it out since i keep hearing about it. plus, those dresses you only end up wearing them once or twice, so there really isn’t a need to buy them.
I love a great neutral makeup, too! That red looks awesome on you, and I need to be braver and try out a bold red myself. As for the dresses, the blue lace on is my favorite, but all of them are gorgeous!
That lipstick is the perfect shade of red! I am a sucker for a red lip, and I really think I need this shade! Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely love red lipstick! Covergirl is also a great brand! I also really love those dresses! They’re “skater dresses”, the ones that go out at the hip area and I feel that they complement me very well. What great giveaway to start off the new year! Thank you for sharing!
I love all three dresses but if I had to choose. I would choose number 1 because you can not go wrong with black. And the style is perfect to dress up or dress it down! I can think of at least five different ways I would style it. A and with the stunning red lip color it would look great!!!!
I think number 3 would be the best option!! π
There was a really fun Rent The Runway event here in Atlanta last year and I thought it was a really great idea to “rent” design clothes without spending designer money! I love the succulent Red on you, perf red!! Also I tend to go all out for New Years too…lots of sparkles and fun all the time and I hope you have a blast when you celebrate!
I would choose the blue dress or the black. I normally would go with the black, but the blue is different that the norm and it’s pretty.
If I had seen this post before New Year, I am definitely getting that shade of lipstick! As for the dress, those are not my style.. I usually go for pants.. but the black looks really funky and stylish π
