It’s the holiday season and time to get ready for all the social events that lie ahead. It time to put away the usual and take your appearance to new level.
The following holiday beauty tips will help you look stunning for a night out on the town. This assumes you’re already doing the necessaries of keeping your skin & body well cared for. Let’s assume you are because now’s the time to sweeten the package and have you looking fabulous with these holiday beauty tips.
– Accentuate Your features. Do you have sexy lips? Prep them with organic lip butter and dress them up with bold colors that draw attention. Just make sure they aren’t too far out of your zone. In other words, if you’ve got dark smooth skin, stay away from pink.
– Embrace shimmers and bronze – During the holidays, you’ll more than likely spend more time out at social events. No time for slacking. Here’s where bronzer and shimmery powders come to the rescue.
Give your skin that classy glow by applying a smooth bronzer that contains a little shimmer to it. A two in one product will also save you some cash that you can spend elsewhere during the holidays.
– Pimp Your Manicure It doesn’t matter if you’re used to going to the spa for weekly manicures or you’re a do it yourself gal. The holidays are the time to whip out all that glitters and sparkles with shine. Grab your sparkly polish of choice and just get it done.
Sporting polish in black, gold, pearl or wine swirled with gold or silver shimmering throughout, preps your hands for shaking, clinking glasses and of course being kissed!
Borghese carries some gorgeous shades. You can find them at your local Walgreens or online for less than $6.
– Bring Back Sassy to Your Do. Long hair is no longer the only talk of the town. Jazz up your hairdo with dazzling hair clips and pins. Rhinestones and glitter glam are just what the holiday season calls for.
These holiday beauty tips will make you look and feel glamorous. Put your best body forward and enjoy the season.
While you’re at it, remember that Jesus is the reason for the season. It’s fun to dress up and have a good time. Just don’t forget who blessed you to enjoy it.

Great tips, Michelle. I especially like the hair tips. Funny, but just this morning on the Today Show they were talking about the little hats that Prince William’s fiance Kate has made popular, saying they would be really catching on. What they showed would be perfect for sprucing up your do. 🙂 Very small and feathery – they looked more like barrettes than hats.
Hi Kathy-
I just love fancy doodads for the hair! I didn’t catch the Today show though. I’m usually running off to the office by then!
Hi Michelle,
I will definitely be using the lips and hair tips you mentioned this holilday season-Mama wants to look her best. Thanks for sharing these tips.
Maureen 🙂
Michelle,
This is a lovely post and makes me want to get all gussied up and go to a party!
My favs are the glitters! I just adore my silver and gold pots of shimmer to dust EVERYWHERE.
🙂 I’m getting ready but not sure where I’m going! I had more events planned last year than this year. Oh well, there’s always New Year’s Eve! Yes, while I’ll be in church, I can still look glam!
Thanks ladies for stopping by JT’s blog to support 🙂
