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.

Available at major retailers across Canada.

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!

Available from your Avon rep - 1-800-265-AVON or online at www.avon.ca.
