Quick Fixes to Becoming a Whole New Woman

Some of the great joys of the festive season are the sparkle and fizz of cocktails with the girls, the ‘morning after the night before’ gossip surrounding the office party and mistletoe and misplaced kisses. Christmas has arrived and the party season has begun.

With so many nights out and get-togethers happening, it is often a case of getting from the office to the party whilst looking gorgeous with only moments to spare in between. As well as indulging in a few beverages on a school night there’s the added pressure of going to work the morning after the night before. Luckily there are a few quick tricks that can be employed in the form of gorgeous beauty gifts that ensure we look our beautiful best.

With so many parties taking you straight from the office to the dance floor, a long and luxurious beauty routine is not an option. The easiest way to transform your look from day to night is with an injection of colour, and it is here when a girl’s makeup becomes vital in achieving that glam look at a moment’s notice.

A jewel-like shade of eye-shadow, such as this season’s magic metallic can’t help but get the party started, for instance. A wash of colour across the eyelid, or a flash of intense colour along the eye line packs an instant punch to your look. The No7 make up range provides all these essential beauty products to help you glide seamlessly from day to evening — try their new extreme lash mascara and compact shimmer eye palette kits.

Another quick and easy way to transform your look to dance floor diva is to update your hairdo. Evening hair deserves oomph and volume to ensure you make some serious party impact. Luckily some of the more fashion forward hair care brands understand the modern girl’s dilemma and have created handy mini kits of styling products — the perfect accessory to pop into your handbag! Cult London hairdressers Toni & Guy have designed their very own Toni & Guy Mini Bag that contains perfectly portable products that slip easily into even the cutest of clutch bags. Hairspray is perfect for adding instant glamour to your ‘do’, simply spray at the root and scrunch with fingers for ultimate lift.

Of course, no party would be complete without the morning after and the inevitable feeling of never again! In an effort to save us from ourselves there are a number of ‘survival kits’ available which contain re-energising tablets and energy plus caplets to ensure that you have all you need to get through the following day in the office.

However much time you have to get ready for the Christmas party and however little time you have to recover there are some great beauty quick fixes to ensure you look festively fabulous.
