Tip: Avoid hot water when you shower. You'll save on trips to the salon, because hot water dulls your hair color faster. 
Ever notice that the busiest time of year is also when you need to look your best? Among all that list making, shopping and holiday prep, there are going to be several special events when you'll want to shine. Try these salon-quality luxuries and tips at home for professional results without breaking the bank.
Instant Sparkle
If you want to add instant holiday sparkle to your eyes, try these tips from CoverGirl®:
  • Pick a light bronze or vanilla shade of shadow and apply it to your eyelids.
  • Next, to create drama and depth, use a darker complementary shade (for example, a dark gold, copper or bronze) along the crease from the inner eye to the outer corner.
  • Now, take the complementary shade of eye shadow and use it as eyeliner, lining the outer two-thirds of both upper and lower lids.
  • Follow up with two coats of mascara.
  • To draw more attention to your eyes, use a light, iridescent shade of blush (such as apricot or soft pink) or a barely-there sparkling shade of eye shadow, and apply it lightly in a crescent shape from your temple to the top of your cheekbone.
Holiday-Ready Regimen
Olay® Regenerist Micro-sculpting Cream hydrates to diminish discoloration and wrinkles and is more effective than some $350 department-store creams.* Try this regimen for mistletoe-ready looks:
