How to Outshine the Holiday Decorations
Hot Party Shoes You Won’t Hate in the Morning
A Sparkly Cosmetics Case
Tuck your emergency supplies inside a glittering cosmetic bag, like this reversible sequined case from Betsey Johnson. It can also double as a fun clutch, so you can leave your bulky day bag behind. (Glitzy Cosmetic Case, $58, Betseyjohnson.com)
Makeup for Instant Glam
Whether you need to start from scratch or just glam-ify your existing look, Urban Decay’s Midnight Emergency Kit features four shimmering eye shadows that can create an amazing neutral smokiness, or just add a bit of sparkle as a highlighter. This zip-up palette—complete with a brush and a full-size Lip Junkie gloss—is perfect for making yourself presentable the morning after, too. ($29, Urbandecay.com)
The Perfect Red Lipstick
There’s no better time of year to don a red pout. Apply a stunning red lipstick and you’ll instantly be more dressed-up. DuWop’s Private Red lipstick has a special formula that adapts to each woman’s individual coloring, so it complements any skin tone. ($22, Shop.duwop.com)
Shimmering Chandelier Earrings
Nothing glitzes up an everyday outfit quite like a single sparkly accessory. These chandelier earrings are very merry and very versatile. (Lauren by Ralph Lauren Social Manor Pavé Teardrop Chandelier Earrings, $64, Bloomingdale’s)
Rollable Flats
Even the most experienced heel-wearer sometimes needs a break. If you plan on dancing all night or indulging in the extra-strength eggnog, bring a pair of rollable emergency flats and your feet will thank you. (Footzyrolls, $19.99, Footzyrolls.com)
Mini Medicine
Whether mixing champagne with gin turned out to be a terrible idea or you just underestimated the height of your shoes, keep a solution on hand. Help Remedies’ tiny packets of acetaminophen and hydrocolloid bandages will have you back in shape in a snap. ($4 each, Helpineedhelp.com)
Hairdo Help
You know that girl who can twirl her hair around a pencil and somehow end up with a fantastic updo? Yeah, we hate her too. But with Bumble & bumble’s limited-edition Pin Tin, you can get an awesome updo in a snap. The tin includes fifty matte-white styling pins along with instructions for creating four easy-but-classic styles that are perfect for any occasion. ($15, Bumbleandbumble.com)
A Festive Fragrance
Why lug an entire bottle (or a highly spillable sample) of perfume when you can have a fragrance at your fingertips? Inside this schmancy cocktail ring hides the solid version of Oscar de la Renta’s Esprit d’Oscar eau de parfum, a sophisticated blend of lemon, bergamot, jasmine, and tuberose. ($65, available exclusively on Facebook)
On-the-Fly Breath Fresheners
Gum and mints are well and good, but they don’t help much when the spinach puffs get caught in your teeth. Keep a Colgate Wisp or two in your bag so you can freshen up before or after a big meal. ($2.69, Soap.com)
