Add Showstopping Sparkle to Your Holiday Look
As a former ballerina and lifelong girly girl, I want to add a little sparkle to every aspect of my life. Whether I'm decorating my home for holiday parties or shopping for new shoes, I am always drawn to the shiniest designs. As you might imagine, my closet features a rainbow of sequins, glitter, and rhinestones aka a five-year-old's dream come true. But my love for glitz and glamour doesn't stop at clothing and accessories. I want each and every party of my holiday look to shine- including my smile. Keep reading to learn how easy it can be to add showstopping sparkle to your holiday look!
In my opinion, there's no such thing as too much sparkle in a holiday outfit, but I try to tone things down a bit to avoid looking like a human disco ball. I always like to start with a classically cut, figure-flattering dress in a simple color. Creating a solid-colored base allows me to use my makeup and accessories to emphasize the areas that I'd like to accentuate and draw the eye away from problem areas. For example, I'm not too fond of my hips, so I draw attention away from my bottom-half by wearing a glittery silver belt around my waist. The shimmering glitter and adorable bow brings the attention to my waist and creates a slimming effect. I couldn't stop at just one sparkling accessory, so I added charcoal grey glitter nail polish and a rhinestone-covered clutch to complete my party outfit. I also use the same attention-grabbing concept with my makeup. For holiday photos, I want to highlight my big, happy smile and showcase my newly whitened teeth, so I keep my overall look simple but add a bold and bright lipstick. Surrounding your smile in a classic red or fancy fuschia shade instantly adds a little pizzazz to your look, and it will help you achieve a showstopping smile in your holiday photos!
While my glitter belt and sparkly clutch are cute, a pearly white smile is my #1 holiday fashion accessory. The plethora of holiday photo-ops in December keep me motivated to maintain a bright white smile. After all, who wants to permanently document a dull, yellowing smile in their holiday photos? Not me! Plus, as cute as your holiday party dress may be, you'll definitely get an extra boost of confidence with a brilliantly white smile. To prepare for the holiday season, I've been using the Crest 3D White Luxe Supreme FlexFit Whitestrips from Target for the past few weeks. They're so easy to apply, and I wear them each night while I'm catching up on Scandal and drooling over Olivia Pope's impeccably styled wardrobe. After only a few weeks of us, I've already been receiving compliments left and right about my bright smile!
I picked up my Crest 3D White Luxe Supreme FlexFit Whitestrips few weeks ago because I was seriously considering getting a professional teeth whitening treatment, but I just couldn't stomach the $500 bill. I'm so thankful that I stumbled onto the Crest 3D Whitestrips on one of my weekly Target shopping trips because they're just as effective as professional light and laser teeth whitening systems for a fraction of the cost in the comfort of your own home. As much as I want to maintain a white smile, I'm glad that I'm able to put the money I would've spent on a professional treatment towards Christmas gifts for my loved ones. In fact, I'm planning to head to Target to pick up a few more packs of the Crest 3D White Luxe Supreme FlexFit Whitestrips for stocking stuffer gifts for the beauty addicts and fashionistas in my life! If you'd like to try this product out for yourself or purchase it as a gift, you can get $7 off your purchase of Crest 3D White Luxe Supreme FlexFit Whitestrips at Target.com!
