Your Time To Shine…
It’s the holidays, which probably means your shining a little bit more on the inside. Make your skin shine too with sheer, lightweight formula foundations that are breathable. For a gorgeous radiance, liquid highlighters, dewy priming products or luminous body sprays create a hydrated and effortless complexion that looks healthy even after all of those festive treats.
Dare To Detox…
It’s safe to say that the holiday season may not be our healthiest time of the year. Late nights, Christmas parties, flowing champagne and indulgent meals can all take a toll on our body, especially our skin! Be sure to take some time to detox with a purifying mask. This removes any toxic build-up and will help with congested skin. What a fabulous way to treat yourself!

Take Your Skin Seriously…
With (hopefully) a little more time off, it’s the perfect time to dive into some serious skincare. Get into a routine of changing pillowcases, find a cleanser that works, stay moisturised, and use sunscreen. Plus remember to wipe it all off at the end of the day! We recommend holy grail products like Tatcha Water Cream and Mario Badesco Enzyme Cleansing Gel – both well-known names because they work! A few extra indulgences like foot scrubs and face masks will have your skin thanking you before the New Year arrives.

Time To Brush Up…
It’s the one thing we all forget to do regularly. Avoid clogged pores or spreading dirt by simple cleaning all your makeup brushes in lukewarm water with a simple cleanser. You don’t necessarily need fancy products either as household shampoo or soap work wonderfully well. For a little more help, EcoTools Makeup Brush Shampoo or electric cleaner from StylPro are great choices as a perfectly practical gift to yourself this Christmas!
Eye Candy…
This holiday season is the ultimate occasion for a little bit of sparkle. With Christmas approaching, don’t be afraid to add a little extra shimmer to your eyelids. Colourful glitter eyeshadow is an oh-so-fun way to bring a little Christmas cheer just by bringing yourself. Or, for a more subtle impact, use highlighter on your inner corner and upper brow bone to create a natural glow. Champagne Pop by Becca is a crowd favourite, perfect for gifting and worth every cent.

Sleeping Beauty….
Along with diamonds, sleep really is a girl’s most underestimated best friend. It’s the time when your whole body releases stress, literally. The hormone for stress reduces, blood flow increases and your body repairs and recovers while you snooze. The key is to aim for 7 to 9 hours; and when the only requirement is to snuggle up, it can’t get much easier than that!

Care For Your Hair…
After a long year, your hair deserves a little bit of TLC. Remember heat protectant when using a straightener, go gently when drying and avoid over-washing. Give your hair a treat with protein-packed hair masks, like the MoroccanOil Restorative Hair Mask, for an overnight restorative treatment which will leave your locks looking strong and shining again.
A Winning Choice…
The key to a flawless look this season is to not overdo it. As a simple rule, if one facial feature pops, like your eyes or lips, keep it subtler on the others. Opt for a glamorous festive eye shadow with a nude lip or the ultimate Christmas red lip with a soft beige shadow. If coloured lips are your go-to, eyelash tinting is an unbeatable choice to make your eyes pop without any colour. A favourite of ours? The long-wear lip paint from Fenty Beauty!

Get In The Spirit…
The humble Christmas sweater and bauble earrings will never go out of holiday fashion. But, a festive accessory can be done in the classiest of ways too! Star hair slides, gold barrettes or an ornate headband all make for stunning decorative pieces to elevate a Christmas celebration outfit.
