Oil Absorbing Blotting Sheets: There have been so many times that after hours of being at a holiday party, I head to the bathroom and almost scream when I look in the mirror… Holy moly my skin is an oil factory! That’s when these blotting sheets come in major clutch. They’re small enough to slide into any bag and know how to get the job done. A little pat on the forehead, around your nose and another pat on the chin and you look freshly glammed up!
Eye-brow gel: This one goes without saying… We all know it’s going to be a long day, so let’s keep those bushy bad boys tamed…
False Lashes: The power that red lipstick gives to some girls, is the power that false lashes give to me. This product is the one in particular that I really like to stock up on during the Holiday season. It’s good to just have in your drawer ready to go!
Teeth Whitening Strips: Having your teeth extra white and crisp, never hurt nobody! Flash those pearly whites every chance you get!
Lip Tint or Pretty Lip color: Pick a shade that makes you feel beautiful and keep it tucked away in your go-to holiday bag for any emergency retouches you may have after feasting at your parties. I personally love a lip tint, because it looks extra natural.
Tanning: We all feel extra confident when we look sun kissed, am I right?! Just because it’s not summer doesn’t mean you can’t have bronzy skin. Two days before a holiday party I like to apply a gradual self tanning oil or cream to achieve a little glow.
Mini Size Translucent Powder: I love to keep this mini translucent powder tucked away in my bag, just in case my makeup starts to wear off. This also comes in handy when you’ve got a bit of shine on your face.
The Pore Professional by Benefit: I love a product that covers all the bases! Use this as a pore concealer and a primer to help make your holiday makeup last longer. It also comes in handy whenever your pores start to come out of hiding. If they reappear, pat delicately over makeup & blend.
Highlighter: Keep your face glowing at those parties! I like to keep this with me because if I ever matte my skin too much with the powder, pore professional or blotting sheets, I can always balance it out with a killer highlighter!
Dry Shampoo: Keeping your favorite dry shampoo handy on your vanity doesn’t just help with oily 3 day hair…. it’s also my favorite trick/tip to achieving extra volume and texture within your lushes locks!
Nail Polish and Press on Nails: Chipped nail polish is inevitable, so keeping a clear coat and/or the same nail polish you’re currently rocking in reach is always a good idea. But one of my favorite beauty secrets is press on nails! These things are amazing when you’re in a rush and don’t have time to sit down at a salon and get your nails did. The perfect solution is to bring the nail salon to you. These can last you a couple of weeks! #Lifesaver
Cloud Paint Blush: Blush has become one of me favorite beauty essentials. There’s nothing like having a little flush to your cheeks to make you look alive. And if your holidays are anything like mine, they’re busy AF and looking alive is harder than one would think!
