I don’t know about you but come December every year it feels like we have at least 2 holiday parties every week! Between work parties, family parties, etc it gets hectic! Last year I remember feeling extremely unprepared for how many there would be. With all of the people I knew I was going to see I wanted to look and feel my best (and I don’t know about you but those two things go hand in hand for me). So this year I made sure to get prepared for all of those holiday parties well in advance!
This post has all of my favorite easy peasy holiday party must-haves to help you not only look your best but help you feel your best too!
1. Magnetic Eyelashes and Eyeliner
Who doesn’t want to give their eyes a little pop for holiday parties? If you follow along over on my Instagram then you’ll know that I ditched permanent eyelash extensions about 2 months ago and have been using magnetic eyelashes and eyeliner ever since. I have LOVED the switch! However, it took a bit of time for me to find lashes and eyeliner that I love. After hours of research and trial and error, I finally found MoxieLash and their super soft (and real feeling) lashes and incredible quality (and easy to apply) eyeliner has been life-changing! I absolutely swear by them!
They are way easier to apply than glue on extensions and cheaper than permanent extensions PLUS you can use code LASHWITHUS to save 15% off from November 1-30!
2. The right makeup applicators
People always talk about which makeup to use but what about the makeup applicators? They make a HUGE difference and as of a few months ago I stopped using my fingers to apply my make up and now I use Airsponge and Airsponge Full Coverage from Baseblue Cosmetics. It has been a game-changer! If you have never used one of these I suggest trying one immediately! You can find my favorite makeup sponge here.
3. Jewelry that helps you feel confident
I usually end up wearing something a little more fancy for holiday parties so I make sure to choose jewelry that compliments my fancy outfit but doesn’t go overboard. I love wearing Round Moissanite Solitaire Stud Earrings from Charles and Colvard for that exact purpose! These are especially cool because they are made from Moissanite which is the world’s most brilliant gem. It’s a white gemstone with unique optical properties that sparkles BEAUTIFULLY!
I love these earrings because they can be dressed up or down. They would also be a FANTASTIC Christmas gift. Make sure you shop their black Friday deals and save some major money! Right now save up to 25% off all jewelry from Monday, November 25th – Tuesday, December 3rd at 11:59pm PT
4. Keep on time in style with a gorgeous ladies watch
My husband hates when I’m late and if I don’t keep a close eye on the time I will most definitely be late. The new G-MS MSGS200G watches from G-SHOCK are GORGEOUS! I have always been a fan of G-SHOCK watches but these are definitely my favorite that they have ever come out with! These watches still have the resin bands that give them a sleek look while still upholding the hallmark of absolute toughness that G-SHOCK is known for. They also have SOLAR CHARGING capabilities! How cool is that?
5. Complete your outfit with some festive shaping tights
I love wearing tights in the winter because not only do they help keep your legs warm when you’re wearing a dress for your holiday parties but they also add a gorgeous touch to your outfit! I especially love the Great Shapes Opaque Shaping Tights from No nonsense because they smooth and slim from tummy to thigh. Who doesn’t want that? The shaping in these tights also helps my postpartum body look and feel its best!
6. Don’t forget to capture your favorite memories from the night
Taking phone pics is the only way I go these days! And how fun would it be to send your guests or friends home with a print of their favorite pics from the night as well? Check out the INSTAX Mini LinkTM and instax® Mini Film from FUJIFILM. You can print the most adorable pics straight from your phone with this Smartphone Printer. You can even edit and print photos and frames from a video from your smartphone- all you need is the app! It would be so much fun to bring this to your holiday parties!
