I almost enjoy getting ready for a party more than the actual party, is that weird? Probably. I love a good pamper session and there's not always the time (or inclination) to indulge in said pamper session on a 'normal' day, so a night on the town is all the excuse I need.
I have pulled together a few worthy essentials that I will be relying on to help me look my best in the festive season.
The perfect manicure is an essential stage of the getting ready process. I have been using the Essence The Gel Nail Base Coat and Top Coat for a while now and can't quite believe how good it is at creating a glossy manicure and being incredibly long-lasting. The magic comes from using both the base and top coat, which somehow bond together with your desired nail colour sandwiched in between to create a gel-like finish - but without the expense, curing and ridic removal process.
Having a bit of a tanned glow at this time of the year isn't a bad idea either. I was recently sent the Crazy Angel Midnight Kiss Self Tan Lotion to try out. It doesn't contain alcohol, parabens or mineral oil and has a really subtle yet pleasant scent to it. I applied before bed and in the morning it had developed to an even and pretty natural-looking colour. They also sent the Supreme Goddess Tan Extender which contains a small amount of tanning agent to help with that awkward phase where your tan begins to fade, evening everything out.
My hair needs a fair bit of styling product in it before it'll do what I want it to do. My normal going-out style is adding a bit of texture and movement with some loose curls, courtesy of my GHD's. I really enjoy using the Loreal Studio Line TXT Wave Creating Spray on damp hair. It adds a bit of hold and texture to my hair and helps the curls last all night. I also use it on my finished style for a bit of extra texture and definition, which it does without feeling crispy or sticky.
What are your party prep essentials?
