Christmas Countdown to Sparkle..

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

With just over a week to go..use the tips below to ’shine like the star that you are’ throughout the festivities.

Stand out from the crowd with these sensational pre-party ‘dress to impress’ tips!

Beauty Cubes ‘Girls Head to Toe Party Checklist’!

Tip 1 - ‘Knock em dead with Stunning Legs’!

Too late for tanning, no time for waxing.  Go back to basics with good epilation - use a hair removal oil for a closer and smoother finish.  Perfect those ‘pins’ with some sheer tights in nude or natural which will complement any ‘little black dress’.  Remember for open toe sandal party feet, closed toe tights are a no no!  Go for the open toe variety - good old M & S do the best! - www.marksandspencer.com  Finally, dont forget to colour dress those toes, red is ultra glam or go for silver or gold for a more subtle compliment to any outfit.

Beauty Cube Tried & Tested:-

King of Shaves, Shave & Moisturise Shaving Oil for ultra soft & silky skin.  Contains Calming Aloe Vera, Soothing Cammomile & Nourishing Vitamin E - www.shave.com

Tip 2 - Glow, Glow, Glow - Ho, Ho, Ho! :-)

Gently exfoliate and use a hydrating facial mask the night before, and get a good nights sleep for maximum results!  This will ensure the skin has a dewy finish, and act as a perfect pre-party foundation base, one that will help your foundation sit evenly on the skin, and last all night!

Tip 3 - Perfect a ’Cheeky Rosey’ Glow bee sunkissed under the mistletoe!

Dazzle with a splash of colour or two!  Use a soft brush on the apple of the cheeks, and apply bronzer to the contours of the face and decolette area.  For cheekbones and the decolette areas use a large contouring brush, and for concentrated touches of subtle colour use a small contour kabuki brush.

For that finishing touch use an all over body shimmer brush for a fabulous sparkly finish.  Apply all over the decollete area, and on the arms for a fabulous glow!
