How To Mask Winter Weight Gain

Fine holiday fun is not only found within the company of your closest friends and family, but it is also found inside of a biscuit, a second helping of apple pie, or in a medium-sized personal pizza. For many of us, winter time means hanging up your sneakers and bringing out your sweatpants. As a fashionista, you should never sacrifice your look. Here are three tips that will save your holiday spirit from too many sweets.

1. Bronzer: Your new best friend! To create a toned look, utilize this magic powder on your cheek bones, jaw, and collar bone.

2. An empire waist top: Perfect for hiding your belly! This is an invaluable eye teaser, perfect for enhancing cleavage while camoflaging your mid-section.

3. Leggings: So you can breathe! Unless you have pants that give, leggings are a magical body slimmer.

My Three New Must Haves!

My next discovery was actually one that was recommended to me by an amazing hairdresser to the stars; the T3 curling iron. I am really not one to ever think of buying an expensive hairdryer or straightener, they all pretty much seem the same to me. But one thing I have wasted more money on is bad curling irons. The all leave that dreaded dent in the curl no matter how hard I try to avoid it. Then miraculously my problem was solved when I was introduced to the T3! TheT3 seems to glide through your hair without sticking at all, leaving the perfect wave. I found mine at Sephora, for $99.00 on sale. (I know, it's an investment, but I really think it's worth it.) You can try to find it on ebay and I have even seen it on sale on some various websites. If you can't afford this yourself, the next time someone asks you what you want for the holidays, don't be shy, say the T3!

So thank goodness they've debuted an evening line just in time for that NYE party you have nothing to wear to!

More Than Just a Pretty Face

His designs are known for a "classicism-meets-futurism" approach, the MAC site states. In addition, the cosmetic colors are reportedly inspired by the paintings of Johannes Vermeer, and designs evoke "a sense of love in the product."
Some stand-out products include the MAC and Marcel Wanders False Lashes, which is actually not false at all but rather an ultra-luscious brush and thickening formula that will create the look of a false lash without all that messy glue. In addition, the black mirrored metal powder compact and sleek candle-stick-shaped lipsticks will leave you torn about which you love better: the makeup you're wearing or the package it comes in.
