 After
all your hard work this year, it's time to give
yourself a nice Christmas present - beauty
treats you deserve! Here's a list to give you
ideas for the holidays:
Christmas Beauty Treat #1: A holly-red lip
gloss
Not only it is the best time of the year to
shamelessly paint your lips this bright, but
wearing a slick, rocking red gloss instantly
satisfies your inner divas color craving - and
gets your long time dare to wear red lips out of
the way. Leave the rest of your face neutral
with just mascara, and a sweep of blush, and all
party eyes will be on you.
Christmas Beauty Treat #2: A lip tune-up
Lush, tasty lips - the gift that keeps on
giving. Prep your kisser for that special season
smooch by taking your lip regimen up a notch.
Scrub your lips down with a soothing,
moisturizing minty lip scrub. Large and tiny
granules slough off the years worries, while
essential oils leave your lips, smooth, fragrant
and delicious.
Christmas Beauty Treat #3: Eye enhancing eye
cream
Hit two birds with one stone when you get
your tube of eye cream:
-
You finally get around
to answering the call of twenty something
hood and get a head start of those fine
lines, sun damage and puffiness.
-
Youll have post-party
eye relief when you get home thatll
preserve your peepers for the next days
festivities. Chill your cream in the fridge
for a refreshing treat.
Christmas Beauty Treat
#4: Bright, red nails
When your nails resemble cherry candies,
they provide the finishing touch of succulent
party look and even do the flirting for you.
Keep them short and semi-squared so you can take
them from day to night.
Christmas Beauty Treat
#5: An irresistibly iridescent all-over
highlighter
Just dust it on your cheekbones, shoulders,
cleavage and legs and youll be positively
radiant when you do the party rounds.
Bonus: youll glow in party pictures and youll
have a tan-enhancer when March rolls around.
Christmas Beauty Treat #6: A sheer, shimmery
eye shadow
Its the best season to up the makeup wattage
but a super sparkly shadow with barely there
color makes you stand out from a sea of heavy
holiday makeup, and makes a great highlighter
addition to your eye shadow palette. Sweep it
onto lids and under lower lashes, and then apply
three coats of black mascara onto curled lashes.
Christmas Beauty Treat #7: An intensive
skin-clarifying booster
Great skin is probably the ultimate gift
anyone can receive, but the great news is you
can give it to yourself without having to bust
your bank account for pricey designer store
potions.
Pick up a skin cream you can apply onto your
face at night, since your skin repairs itself
while you sleep and can use the extra help.
The key ingredient is an effective exfoliant
like salicylic acid, which helps speed up the
surfacing of fresh, new skin while gently
removing dead skin cells and relieving clogged
pores.
Christmas Beauty Treat #8: A fabulous full
body massage - twice in a row
Its the perfect ending to a long year and darn
it, you deserve it! The receptionist may laugh
at you but technically, she cant deny you a
double stress-busting whammy. Book your massages
on a day when you can turn your phone off and
forget everyone but yourself.
