Go from the office to the office holiday party with glam and ease with some help from Secret, Sleek MakeUP and Avon!

Whatever idiot had the bright idea of holding the company holiday party on a Thursday night right after work should be shot - there's no time to go home and glam up so I count on a few key accessories to turn whatever boring outfit I wore to work into something a little more festive without having to lug around a change of clothes...

Add a little shimmer with: 

Sleek MakeUP Gold Standard i-Lust Palette - $11.49 - includes an array of shades to make eyes sparkle with tones of shimmery champagne, rich gold, metallic bronze and copper. Get creative with four silky shimmer powders (Laurent, Coco, Vera & Vivienne) and two rich cream formulas (Margiela & Louis) that are flattering on all skin tones.

Available online at www.sleekmakeup.com and they do ship to Canada for a pretty reasonable rate or if you buy $85 or more, shipping is free!

Add a little sexy with:

Silks Fishnet Control Top Pantyhose - $12 - offers a glamourous fashion statement while providing tummy slimming (very useful for the all-you-can-eat meatball bar). With breathable fabrics for extra comfort and hygiene along with a reinforced toe for more comfort.

Add a little sparkle with:

Avon Nail Gems - $4 - includes over 450 individual gems with 12 different deigns in graduated sizes.

Nail Gem Applicator - $3 - a stainless steel, easy-to-use tool designed exclusively to apply Nail Gems.

If you're doing it at home and have lots of time then paint your nails with your favourite nail enamel, apply the gems to the wet polish using the applicator and seal with a top coat. But if you're doing on the fly at your desk - just use a couple of drops of nail glue to apply - they won't last you much more then the night without the top coat of course - but who cares, there's lots more where that came from!

The oil-free, water-based formula goes on crystal clear, allowing the pure pigments and pearls to be dispersed evenly and blend in seamlessly, giving the skin a fresh, smooth, and supple appearance.My favourite part is the mesh-touch colour dispenser which makes it easy to pick up just a bit of product at a time with either your fingers or brush so you end up with a luminous finish and not a glob of colour!

Get Glowing with Sleek MakeUP, Physicians Formula and Lise Watier!

If you're looking for less of a "bronzed" look and more of a glow then pick a bronzer that also has a colour component to it. This way you get less tan and more healthy colour - here are a few that I like:

Sleek MakeUP GLO - $10 - in 3 shades: Peach Shimmer (shown), Bronze Baby and Gold Digga - a lightweight and irritant free powder with 5 shimmering colour bars that are packed with light reflecting mica pigments that illuminate the skin and provide a long lasting glow that can take you from day to night.

Available online at www.sleekmakeup.com and yes, they will ship to Canada!

Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Bronzer & Blush - $19.99 - in 2 shades: Bronze/Natural and Bronze/Rose that deliver perfectly customized happy and healthy radiance to every face it touches with a combination of a warm bronze tone paired with complimentary multi-blush tones that let you mix and match for the ultimate, radiant sun kissed glow. Contains mood enhancing botanicals designed to stimulate happiness and well-being  and multi-reflective pearls that provide a skin perfecting glow.

Lise Watier Havana All Over Baked Bronzer - $37 - four shades with a shimmery finish that reflects light making it perfect for all of your boney (nose, cheeks, clavicles) areas!

Available in-store and online at www.lisewatier.com

Eye Love Wednesday - Sleek MakeUP Ultra Matte i-Divines

Sleek MakeUP Ultra Matte i-Divines - $10 - that's right my friends, only ten bucks for 12 shades of high-quality, super-duper pigmented eyeshadows in your choice of Darks or Brights. If you think matte shadows kinda suck because of the way they usually look chalky and colourless you are going to pee your pants when you try these suckers! I have heard some grumblings about the lighter shades in the Darks palette not being pigmented enough and crabbing about the whole thing being matte - which makes me think that they might have missed the whole matte palette concept - anyhow at this price, you can judge for yourself!

Available at Superdrug stores and online at www.sleekmakeup.com - and yes, they do ship to Canada!

Eye Love Wednesday - pencils with purpose from Sleek MakeUP, Pixi and Physicians Formula!

Sleek MakeUP Eau La La Liners - $5.99 - in 20 shades: White Noise, Venom, Moulin Rouge, Cobalt Blue, Sand Dune, Dragon Fruit, Raisin, Blue Moon, Cocoa, Melba, Nutcracker, Canary Yellow, Tonic (metallic), Bullion (metallic), Red Sky Night, Molasses, Pumpkin, Satchel, Noir, Lingerie - that are highly pigmented, smudge and waterproof with a soft, creamy formula that you can use on eyes, lips and brows - that's right my friends, these pencils don't discriminate, use any colour anyplace you want! Blue lips? Why not! Orange eyeliner? You betcha! Red brows? Now you're talking!

Available online at www.sleekmakeup.com - and yes, they do ship to Canada!

Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen - $15.50 - in 7 shades: Black Blue, Black Cocoa, Black Noir, Black Tulip, Cafe Gold, Deep Plum, True Teal and Oyster - I was trying to decide why they were calling this an "eye pen" rather then an eyeliner - I thought maybe it was a British thing and then realized that using it was just like drawing on your eyeliner with a pen! We have all used eyeliners that have proclaimed to be soft and tugfree and have turned out to be anything but - search no more, they are called silky and they are indeed!  What is especially nice is they have the intense look of a liquid liner but in a pencil form so even a spaz like me can draw a nice even line! With Vitamin E and natural mineral pigments and without parabens, mineral oils or preservatives. As with all soft liners, it's best to pop them in the fridge for a bit before sharpening - it makes life so much easier!

You'll be happy to know that it's easier than ever to get your Pixi fix now that eBeauty.ca has picked up the line - check it out at www.ebeauty.ca

Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Eyeliner Trio - $14.79 - in two universal eye enhancing eyelining combinations: Smoky - silver, charcoal, black or Nude - champagne, pewter, black - include three shades to line eyes for looks ranging from natural to dramatic - each shade has a hint of shimmer to add perfect illumination and has a creamy smooth formula that glides on without tugging and offers water-resistant wear that is also smudge-resistant for 24 hours! I love that the casing tells me exactly what colour is inside and the built-in sharpener!

You have to love all these PF trio packs for their assistance in turning us all into makeup hoarders!
