Glow Through The Holidays: Party Ready Beauty

{ Via: Vogue }

So is your dance card full yet with Holiday invites? I have five ahead this month. The people that you will mix and mingle with, are often those that you haven't seen in a long time. I like to look my best, don't you? During this busy season, sometimes our "sparkling personalities" just are not enough. This edit features products that offer a gorgeous glow or a subtle shimmer. The choice is yours.

HERE: 12 Gorgeous Ways To Glow

Bobbi Brown Festive Glow

I have long looked to Bobbi Brown as one of the beauty greats.  She keeps her makeup process simple. This stunning look features subtle shimmer, with a stronger lip. Very effective. Shop the entire look on one page at

Bobbi Brown

Laura Mercier Lip Glacé 

Laura Mercier Lip Glacé is a high-shine, perfectly pigmented lip gloss that makes lips appear fuller, virtually enhancing any skin tone. This color is gorgeous, but there is also 20 other shades. And they are all 15% off now at

Nordstrom

Illuminating Body Mist

For holiday parties we may just show a little more skin than a normal winter night. Even if it is just your shoulders, in a cold shoulder top, don't ignore them. This mist is said to be beautiful and it is on sale now. I'm giving it a try.

Laura Geller

Fresh Vitamin G Glow Face Mask
One of my favorite things to do before a party is to make time for a face mask, a bubble bath and a glass of bubbly. I had a sample recently of this mask. It was fab. Loved the process, the scent, and I did feel liked I glowed after the first use.
Sephora

Exagger-Eyes

Charlotte Tilbury is one of my very favorite makeup brands. And this palette is everything I would ever need. It features warm reddy-browny-metallic tones that morph the eyes, by creating an illusion of wider and brighter looking eyes. Now who doesn't want that? Find it at 
Charlotte Tilbury It's sold out almost every where else!

Diamond Highlight

If you want some serious glow, this highlighter is gorgeous. Available in three shades, it is infused with real crushed diamond powder. I just love the radiance it will provide to our face. Click below to also watch a video on how to use this pretty product.

Too Faced Cosmetics

Precision Brows

Brows may be one of the most important parts of your face. Without them, one looks a bit washed out. Frame your face with Kevyn's Precision Brow Pencil

Kevyn Aucoin

Smith & Cult
Talk about a merry mani! What a stunning shade the "Message" is. Even better than the color is the fact that their polish is 8 Free, meaning it doesn't include the harmful chemicals, that others do. Find it in a single bottle at Blue Mercury and in a terrific trio box of three party ready shades at HSN

Nars Ignited Eyeshadow Palette

Let sparks fly! A Limited Edition palette featuring 12 multi-dimentional shades in matte, shimmer, and glitter. And if you have yet to try Nars shadows, the color payoff is big, meaning you have to use just a little amount to 
make an impact.

Nars

YSL Touche Éclat Lumiere Divine Highlighting Finishing Powder 

"This lightweight finishing powder is infused with light-reflecting gold shimmer to give skin a luminous glow. The smooth and silky powder should be applied lightly above the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, under the eyebrows, and on the cupids bow to enhance skin's natural

radiance." Lovely!

Neiman Marcus

Priyanka Chopra's January
