Holiday parties are here and I’ve got the perfect party staples for you. Products for killer volume, sleek chic ponies, and eyes that sparkle. Whether you’re heading out for cocktails or cozy dinners, these must-haves will have you looking fab from head to toe.
Biossance Squalane + Amino Acid Gentle Cleanser | $38
First things first – a clean canvas to apply your holiday makeup on. The Biossance Squalane + Amino Acid Gentle cleanser is one of the best to do just that – cleanse without stripping your skin, leaving soft, radiant skin to complement your favourite makeup selects. It’s gentle yet powerful – breaking down pore-clogging dirt, calming and soothing your skin – leaving your skin feeling clean, calm and ready to party.
Lumify Redness Reliever Eye Drops | $16-$25
These are my secret weapon. When my eyes are looking a little tired, or my complexion is experiencing some redness/texture – I pop in one drop in each eye and, voila, my eyes are bright white in under 30 seconds. Bright eyes make all the difference under holiday lights and in holiday photos. I am telling you – these are a must have. Developed by eye doctors – I also feel safe using them.
JVN StyleFix Hair Stick: | $30
Wanting a sleek and chic look this holiday? Hair a ‘lil dirty and you need a quick ‘do for your holiday party…this little stick is it. It tames flyaways and adds subtle shine, it holds baby hairs in place while giving you a perfect polished look. You can also use this on static-y ends and curls to tame and add tousel. And the size! Perfection for last-minute touch-ups before stepping into a party. Compact, effortless, and totally chic.
Wella Ultimate Smooth Miracle Oil Serum | $35
Another perfect product if you are going for a sleek and chic holiday look. This colour-safe oil serum is a delicate leave-in hair oil that deeply nourishes hair – leaving it visibly smoother and shinier. With Squalane and Omega-9, this product is never animal tested and totally vegan. I love how silky my hair feels once I apply it – and I find the smoothness lasts for days. I also love this brand – it always reminds me of my time living in London. I love this brand is making a big splash here in Canada.
SEEN Frizz + Repair Treatment Mask | $52
Prepping your holiday hair doesn’t take weeks with this high impact wash-off mask. Why I love this product is it is developed by Harvard-trained Dermatologist, Dr. Iris Rubin. After realizing hair care is an essential part of good skincare, she developed SEEN – a collection of products that promote healthy hair and skin through proven formulations. I love its lack of fragrance (we don’t need your hair competing with your perfume), its compatibility for all skin types, its colour and heat protection, and its frizz-fighting! It keeps hair looking and feeling smooth with its formula packed with Squalane that locks in moisture and restores lustre, and Moringa Oleifera that helps repair and strengthen locks. Users experienced a 70% reduction in frizz with 2.7x stronger hair after just one use. And to use, after you shampoo – get rid of excess water and apply. Leave on for five minutes before you rinse and use just once per week.
The Maker Revel Eau de Parfum | $175USD
A scent can set the tone to get you feeling festive and glam. Revel, one of the newest release from The Maker, is honestly a total party stopper. I have never been complimented as many times with any other scent. People have stopped me to ask what I am wearing. No lie. It’s juicy, bright but soft and velvety. Revel is equal parts playful but grounded. Like a champagne-fuelled dance party.
Key Notes: Juicy Pineapple, Lush Lychee, Creamy Frangipani Flower, Velvet Musk – warm, sensual, slightly tropical – wraps you in confident, sophisticated vibes that linger long after the party’s over. Don’t think this is quite the right scent for you? Read more about their other fragrances I love, here.
Marc Anthony Big Volume Collection | Under $55
Sometimes we don’t want sleek and chic. Sometimes we don’t want demure – you want big, bouncy, voluptuous hair. You want Big Hair Energy! This collection will make all your volume dreams come true.
First – Shampoo and then Condition with the Marc Anthony Big Volume Weightless Lift duo. These boost Fullness and bounce from the start.
Then, use the Big Volume Weightless Lift Mousse – this add 2x more volume and lasts up to 72 hours. This mousse is non-drying, alcohol-free with a micro-light Fiber Filler Complex™, similar to those used in volume boosting mascara.
And finally, if you don’t like mousse, or just want it all – you can use the new Weightless Lift Root Boost Spray. This non-drying formula uses their micro-light Fiber Filler Complex™, and instantly adds weightless lift, thickness, flexible bounce and shine to fine strands. You can use this wet or dry and the nozzle offers targeted lift right where it’s needed.
OPI Holiday 2025 Nail Lacquer Duo Pack | $24
And finally – if you like an elevated finger nail (without wasting time at the local nail bar…) OPI never disappoints. OPI has always been my #1 polish brand with the very best colours for every season and this season their colours are festive perfection. I love their nail lacquer duo set that comes with full-sized, OPI’m Frosted, and Spread the Cherry.
From brightening eyes and cleansing skin to smoothing strands and sealing scent memories, these picks cover hair, skin, nails and glam for all your holiday parties.
