1- Standout Nails

Nail wraps and press on nails are the quickest way to add some sparkle to your digits. It fast and glamorous- and you can do it at home in under 15 minutes. I like the 'accent-nail' option, but you can dazzle up how ever you'd like. Try Sally Hansen Glitz Blitz or Impress Nails

2- Lengthen Your Lashes

Add the WOW factor with a fuller looking eyelash in a snap. Tip: Trim the lashes down to a more wearable and easy-to-apply size. There is no rule that says you have to wear the full strip. Try Benefit Pinup Lashes or Khroma by Kardashian Lashes in Wink

3- Amp Up Your Accessories

Now is the time of year to get a little wild with your hair accessories and add some feminine sparkle with headbands, clips or bows. A little goes a long way, and you are sure to make a statement. Try Pewter Rhinestone Headband or Pearl & Rhinestone Bow Clip

4- Go For Bold Lipstick

Nothing says 'Holiday' like a bold lipstick, but this season, skip the fire-engine red and opt for a deeper berry tone instead. It's a flattering color that's easier to wear and right on trend with the latest announced

Color of the Year: Marsala Try Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Hexagram, Buxom Lip Polish in Isabella or Revlon Ultimate Suede Lipstick in Fashionista

5- Spice Up Your Scent

The sense of smell is too often forgotten when it comes to beauty, don't let be the case this year. Pick up a body spray or lotion in a seasonal scent that will help you feel festive and make memories that you'll love every year. Try Philosophy Holiday Handbook or Philosophy Iced Cookie Wash Duo

Hope your parties are filled with memories and a little something extra from this list. Have a great Tuesday! xo
