WANT A FEW SECRETS TO PRESERVE YOUR PRETTY & GET YOUR GROOM ON FOR NEW YEARS EVE 2018? READ HERE!

One of my favorite #glamgoals is to find ways for us all to “preserve our pretty!” Not sure where I first heard this catch phrase or exactly when I started using it but it stuck and now I notice I say it “pretty” often (pun intended! it was right there for the taking… LOL!) . Without a doubt as we celebrate New Years Eve in about 11 nights and go from sundown on the 31st straight into Monday morning, January 1st…  we’ll need to lean on a few of multi-tasking beauty & grooming hacks to preserve our hair, makeup and appearance as we welcome in a new year! Have a look!

RULE NO. 1:  UP-DO’S & BLOW OUTS ARE SACRID! DON’T LET FRIZZ MAKE AN NYE APPEARANCE

HOW TO FOLLOW NO.1: Stash NaturellePRO Luxe Majestic Oil inside your evening bag or your date’s coat pocket! It instantly tames fly aways and restores your hairstyle to it’s glam state when you first started your evening. After a few rounds of doing the Superman, the Running Man, the MC Hammer or any other dance capable of wilting your Do, just squeeze a few drops of Luxe Majestic Oil into the palm of your hands. Rub your hands together and smooth your hands over stray hairs that need to get back in line.  Infused with 100% rich Moroccan Argan oil plus Keratin Protein, but alcohol free, it moisturizes and provides lasting conditioning without heavy residue. So it helps transform your hair texture making it smoother and shinier. Color-safe.

MY MACGUYVER BONUS TIP: Take a few drops in the palm of your hand and smooth onto wherever you’re exposing a little skin this NYE. Think: Shins, Collar Bones or Cleavage to add a dose of sheen and shimmer to your body. It’s also great on cuticles and dry hands to bring your mani back to life.

RULE NO. 2: SOFT BROWN EYESHADOW? OR BRIGHT LAVENDER? NOT SURE WHICH LOOK YOU’RE GOING FOR? IF YOU OWN THE “LEGOS” OF MAKEUP YOU CAN BRING BOTH ALONG THIS NYE!

HOW TO FOLLOW NO,2: How clever is this? I affectionately refer to them as the “Legos Of Makeup! Pop in and out these eye shadow trios to this customizable Little Black Compact (sold separately) to create your go-to palette for endless makeup looks. Choose and combine interchangeable eye shadow trios from a selection of curated, complementary colors. On New Year’s Eve each set of the long-wear/crease-resistant formulas can take you from night to morning in shades that range the gamut: flattering neutrals to bright blues, greens, pinks and purples in a variety of matte, shimmery and metallic finishes. These powder shadows can be applied wet or dry to achieve your desired level of color intensity. The formula is ophthalmologist tested and vitamin enriched. Unbelievable Results. Immediate Impact. PRICES + SHOP HERE: $21.50 Eyeshadow Palettes & Little Black Compact: $5

RULE NO 3 ALWAY HAVE THESE TWO ESSENTIALS IN YOUR PURSE FOR EMERGENCIES

HOW TO FOLLOW THIS RULE:  This will sound weird at the top, BUT on nights like NYE always carry a few fabric softener sheets and 4 pantyliners in your purse. They will hardly take up any space. The fabric sheets will remove any traces of deodorant that rub onto your outfit and leave a white streak. Then if your deodorant starts to wear off, rub a fresh fabric softener sheet under your arms and you’ll smell instantly clean and fresh(er). The pantyliners are great to line your shoes IF your feet are starting to hurt from dancing and standing around. The liners can add a little padding and cushion. Guys can also use them under their shirts to absorb sweat and avoid the very unsexy arm pit stains that often appear when you’re dancing and having fun.

RULE NO. 4: BOYS & POWER TOOLS GO HAND & HAND EVEN IF THEY PROMISED TO DITCH THE HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOR THE NIGHT AND MAKE NO HOME DEPOT RUNS! THIS ONE POWER TOOL IS COOL!HOW TO PROCESS NO. 4: Guys may strike you as low key when it comes to getting their groom on for special occasions like New Years Eve. But trust me, they want to look spiffy too. And the hottest trend for men over the last 2 years is fine tuning their beards, scruff and sideburns. So I did some research on the New MicroTouch SOLO. It’s an all-in-one smart razor (is this similar to a smart phone? can I snap chat from it?) that trims, edges, and shaves with the finest German Stainless Steel, precision-engineered blades.  The “secret sauce” is a revolutionary an ultra-flex, pivoting head that provides precision contouring to effortlessly glide over your face for complete control. Unlike regular razors, SOLO shaves bi-directionally in up or down strokes and includes three trimming combs for the versatility to tackle any facial hair style. From refined stubble and scruff to complex beards and mustaches, SOLO lets men achieve the latest facial hair trends to customize their look and guys can do all of this without soap, shaving cream or water. It’s perfect for all skin types and will cut through thickest of beards without nicks, cuts, bumps, ingrown hairs or irritation. This convenient multi-purpose razor even removes unwanted body hair in a pinch.  And lastly the two “B’s” the battery lasts up to 45 minutes and the investment in one won’t break your bank. PRICE: $24.99 SHOP HERE! OR HEAD TO THESE RETAILERS: Amazon, Bed Bath and Beyond, CVS, Rite-Aid, Walgreens, Target and Walmart.
