Not every holiday party requires a fancy dress, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go a bit glam with an up-do and make-up that kicks things up a notch. I’ve been invited to some holiday events where it’s more appropriate to wear a sweater than strapless, so I found this ice blue gem at Forever21 and have worn it with black pants, leather pants, and a cute skirt.
When it comes to holiday presents for someone dear (or just for yourself, let’s be honest,) I have another Aerin Beauty recommendation. I’ve become obsessed with palettes, because you can throw one in your handbag and you have everything you need in one streamlined compact. I used to cart around a heavy makeup bag, but no more. This Aerin Weekday Palette is the prettiest selection of colors for eyes, cheeks and lips. The colors are soft and natural, which makes it ideal to take with me to work and wear through the evening. The Rose Lip Balm is my saving grace during the day to keep my lips soft with a little color. (Sometimes I don’t want to wear a full coverage lipstick.)
Can I tell you something else I love about Aerin?
The pretty gold color of the compacts. I love how beautiful they look on my vanity. It’s the little things in life that make it lovely, isn’t it?
