Luxury Makeup for the Holidays from By Terry.

Luxurious French makeup brand By Terry has a beautifully elegant holiday makeup collection that I just had to share. I've used a few of her makeup products before and I have liked everything about them. They are very nice products, always elegantly packaged and packed with great anti-aging ingredients too. The holiday collection does not disappoint with a collection of limited edition products in deep shades for the eyes and soft brights for the lips.

Get On Your Way to Fabulous for the Holidays + a Giveaway!

I can't believe that Christmas will be here next week and then New Year's the week after. This month has just flown by. I know I am not holiday ready yet. Are you?  Well, I am here to offer a few tips, some product advice and a little help via my friends. You see, P&G and Walgreens are partnering with Tim Gunn and the People’s Choice Awards (PCA's) to help you get on your way to fabulous for the holidays.

You know Walgreens offers a ton of fabulous beauty products, and you know how easy it is to get to Walgreens, so picking up some of these great new beauties is easy too. Check out these new and exciting products that I am using to get #OnMyWay2Fab for the holidays:

Get On Your Way to Fabulous for the Holidays

COVERGIRL Bombshell Volume by LashBlast Mascara
Flaunt the next big thing in lashes with Bombshell Volume by LashBlast Mascara! The brilliant two-step Bombshell Boost System combines extreme volume with an intensifying top coat for big, sexy bombshell lashes. It will last through long holiday parties and beyond with no clumping, flaking or smudging. I love the jet black wet lash look.

  • Step One: Apply the extreme volume basecoat. This coat thickens lashes with a huge brush and mega-volumizing formula; the result is volume that's even and clump free.
  • Step Two: Finish with the intensifying top coat. This seals the look with a dark, smooth finish in a thin layer, but provides enough dark color that you only need one coat.

Pantene Damage Detox Cream
With all of the overstyling I do throughout the year and wanting to look my best at the holidays, my hair needs help and fast. With just a few uses of the Pantene Weekly Rehab Creme, my hair is feeling soft and looking smooth. It is the first total hair system to reset damaged hair to look and feel like new.

Venus and Olay Sugarberry Exfoliate Razor
Soft, smooth, hair free skin is a holiday must. You know I am a fan the Venus & Olay razor and the Sugarberry scent is my favorite. It has been on a few of my lists this year. The brands specialized 5-blade technology exfoliates for surface skin renewal, while the scented Olay Moisture Bars helps to lock in skin’s moisture for less dryness. I have found that skin is softer longer in between shaving too.

Olay Regenerist Microsculpting Cream
Of course we all want to look as young and as best as we can, especially when seeing those that we only see during the holidays. Olay delivers those results and they deliver them fast with this Olay Regenerist Microsculpting Cream. This cream penetrates the skin rapidly to deliver anti-aging ingredients 10 layers deep into the skin’s surface. Just look at the results you'll see in a matter of days:

  • 1 Day: Reduces the appearance of lines, boosts hydration & brightness
  • 14 Days: Skin is noticeably firmer and skin elasticity is improved
  • 28 Days: Reverses the look of up to 10 years of wrinkles

Studio 35 Blender Brush
Makeup has to look its best during the holidays and the right tools are key. One perfect tool to create a flawless look is this blender brush that is basically a sponge on a brush handle. This foam tip utilizes an exclusive micro-pore formulation that will not absorb too much liquid makeup, while the infused vitamin E provides a superbly smooth surface for application. It helps to apply foundation flawlessly and evenly so makeup looks beautiful.

Finally, don't stress, get your beauty sleep, and do an extra hydrating mask if your skin feels a little extra dry. Also buy yourself a little present; I like chocolate. I know, it's not so good for my diet, but sometimes it just does the trick. I am loving the taste of the creamy German milk chocolate of the Delish Milk Chocolate Salted Caramel. This chocolate bar is a decadent treat made with real Black Forest milk combined with sweet caramel and a touch of salt that are guaranteed to ignite your senses. Yum!
