The Fashion & Beauty Essentials You Need For Holiday Party Season

As we head into the busy holiday party season, make sure you are dressed to impress with these fashion and beauty essentials. From must-have party dresses to beauty favorites, here’s everything you need to get ready for all things holiday.

You cannot get more holiday ready than a classic little red dress, and this mini from Artless Forever is perfectly suited for any holiday party occasion. Whether you wear it on its own for a sassy mini moment or with tights and a jacket for colder weather, the shape is so darling and will look wonderful no matter the locale.

Prep your skin and lips for the holiday season with this fun set from Sarah Creal Beauty. Not only is it named for one of the most classic romcoms of all time (When Harry Met Sally, of course!) but it features four skincare and makeup products to get you looking party ready in no time. This set features an eye cream, moisturizing essence, lip liner, and lip stick, so you can ensure your skin and lips are hydrated and soft wherever the evening takes you.

Everyone needs a trusty handbag for the holidays, and this one from Radley is fantastic for any celebration. It comes in a stunning rich oxblood and features both a leather handle and longer crossbody strap so you can sport this purse however you most feel comfortable. The best part is that this bag comes with plenty of storage space, including a zip-up compartment, so you can carry all your party must-haves with you.

I am absolutely enamored with this romantic mini dress from Rumored. Not only is it a stunning shade of red, but it features fun bow details and an elegant square neckline and dramatic sleeves for a dress that is sure to make a statement. If you prefer a longer dress, I also love the black midi Anotinette dress that provides a similarly romantic look.

Adorn your nails in style with a set of easy-to-apply press-on nails like these sets from Chillhouse. Their press-on nails are straightforward to apply, providing you with salon-worthy manicures in a matter of minutes. This set features 3 fun styles that are festive without overdoing it, meaning you can wear them during the holiday season but also long after the Christmas lights come down, too!

For anyone who prefers a simple suit during the holidays, might I suggest this chic blazer and pant from Cuts? The shape of the blazer is modern and sophisticated, while the pants are classically cool and comfortable to boot! You can dress this set up or down to your heart’s content, pairing it with heels and a dazzling top for a formal occasion, or one of their classic Tomboy Tees in a holiday hue for a semi-casual outing.

When you are out on the town more days than not, you definitely want to make sure you’re staying healthy and stocking up on a supplement like this one from JSHealth that will keep you feeling fabulous an debloated, no matter how much champagne or passed appetizers you enjoy. The 2-month supply is enough to keep you stocked up through New Year’s.

For anyone in search of a classic “little black dress,” this gorgeous frock from Odd Muse will do quite nicely. The draped details on the shoulder are so elegant and set this dress apart from other classic LBDs, and this dress will look fantastic however you style it.

Upgrade your makeup brushes this holiday season and watch your makeup routine soar to new levels. This set from Anisa Beauty features 6 of their iconic brushes to provide everything you need to get your face glam. The set comes with a case for easy transport, too!

For those who prefer a longer dress shape, I am a huge fan of this black maxi dress from Laud. The fabric is thin and hugs the body in such a flattering way that it practically doubles as shapewear. Layer with a thick sweater if you’re in a colder climate, or pack it for a warm weather getaway over the holidays and wear on its own.

Traveling over the holidays? Make sure you have a sturdy suitcase in tow that looks chic and will keep your clothing in tip-top shape as well! This Briggs & Riley suitcase is big enough to fit a full week’s wardrobe and features compartments specially designed for wrinkle prevention so you can unpack, get dressed, and hit the town!

Hill House Home has become one of my g0-to places to search for festive dresses, and I adore their latest holiday offerings. This burgundy tweed mini dress is ideal for the holiday season, and the matching Valentina jacket makes for a great set.

Get a sleek straight hair look with ease with the Dyson Airstrait. This innovative styling tool both dries and straightens hair at the same time, cutting down on styling time and heat application. The end result? Straight hair that’s ready for any holiday party.

Give your roots an extra lift with this spray from Color Wow. The product provides added volume without ever feeling heavy or sticky on your hair. Whether you want a voluminous blowout or are prepping your hair for a fun updo, spritz this in your roots for gorgeous added lift.
