On the 2nd day...
After taking the time to beautify your face a great setting spray is always an essential. The latest one we've been using is Urban Decay's All Nighter. Spritz this over your face and enjoy picture perfect makeup for up to 16 hours!
On the 3rd day...
Body Bling is always a staple in my kit. It makes it's most appearances in these drab winter months. I am loving the new formulation and easy-to-use tube. It is also still available in the Original and Platinum (for fairer skin) versions.

On the 5th day...
L'Oreal's Voluminous False Lashes is an absolute must for glamming it up this holiday season.
The tube is filled with short and long fibers that grasp onto your real lashes and creates a lot of length and volume. It's great if you don't have the time (or patience) to apply the real thing.
For best results we recommend applying two coats while lashes are still wet. Avoid using this product on your lower lashes. You don't want to risk the fibers falling underneath your eyes.
For $10.00 this makes the perfect stocking stuffer.
After all what girl doesn't love a great mascara?

On the 7th day....
After attending all the holiday parties this season your skin will be begging for a pick me up.
Tried and tested by us, Kiehls Midnight Recovery Concentrate for both face and eyes will soon become staples in your beauty cabinet. Apply both products to your face before bed and let them work their magic. After the first night you will notice a difference. There's no better feeling then waking up to soft, supple and well hydrated skin.
Both products are paraben and fragrance free. The concentrate is made from Pure Essential oils (including Evening Primrose Lavender and SKWA-Lane).
Kiehl's always offers great gift sets as well as many samples so you can try before you buy. You can check these and other products at www.kiehls.ca

Laura Mercier's holiday set of mini kohl liners is the perfect stocking stuffer for any girl that loves to play up her eyes. The set includes 5 gorgeous liners that will contrast with every eye colour (Brown Copper, Antique Jade, Black Turquoise, Black Violet and Purple Sapphire).
Laura's Kohl liner's are a staple in my kit. They glide on your eyes so smoothly and are an easy way to create a smokey eye as they can be smudged and blended out to create the perfect definition. The pencil will stay on all day and is great under the lash and water line. Pair these with your favourite eyeshadow or wear them on their own.
