Happy Christmas Eve Eve,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate LInks-not sponsored)

wow I can´t believe Christmas is tomorrow and I am actually done wrapping everything and decorating and meal planing plus shopping for groceries as well as setting the table and prepping our outfits. Yes it has been a whirlwind of a week but it was so worth it. I just can´t wait for tomorrow and see Emilia unwrapping all her presents and understanding a little more than last year.

Anyways let´s have a look at this cute, simple and super affordable holiday look. It might have been over half a year that I have done a „Full Face of…“ post so I am definitely a little ashamed but hey better late than never am I right ??

Overall Catrice is a very popular drug store make-up brand with products ranking from 2 to 10 Euro which in my opinon is super affordable. 

I have used some of the products I am sharing with you today for years and always get back-ups so I would definitely recommend some.

I always forget how many products a full face of make-up requires. Since this is my last post regarding Christmas for this year and I am taking a break for a few days I wanted to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas, happy days filled with family, lots of laughter and good food. This year definitely didn´t make it easy to look forward to things but in the end all that matters is health and family anyways. See you soon.

Isn´t this one of the sparkliest dresses you have seen in a while. I LOVE it. Feeling like a very christmassy mermaid if this makes any sense to you. 

Sequins have been my material of choice for the last couple of years for all things festive, I mean there aren´t many ocassions where sequins are socially accepted and I take all of them. 

Last year I have worn a gorgeous silver sequin skirt and I was truly sad when the evening ended cause it was such a fabulous skirt you guys.

But this year I thought I am gonna go all in. A emerald colored sequin dress with ruffles at the bottom. Insert heart eyes here!!! I got it from Vero Moda so it was really affordable and I would say the quality is really good. It doesn´t scratch at all and isn´t loosing sequins.

What are you planning to wear on Christmas Eve ?

Best Hair Dryer and possible Last Minute Gift…

Let´s be honest who likes to dry their hair ? This is such an unnecessary task in my opinion so I often let it air dry and am very unhappy the next morning because it looks very frizzy and I feel like a scarecrow.

So about two years ago I found this hair dryer brush on amazon. That was the time when the Revlon one popped up everywhere but it was not available in Germany so I got this close one and I loved it ever since. 

I divide my hair into sections and it dries pretty fast. Also another thing I wanted to admit is that I still only dry my hair if I don´t have time to curl it the next day but it is now less of a chore for me.

Everyone is busy prepping for Christmas this week and not only the homes but also ourselves. I love to really dress up for Christmas. All sequins and bows cause why not?! The year is boring enough already so let´s get dolled up on a few days at least.

I wanted to share three hair styles with you today you can easily prepare and wear for the upcoming Christmas festivities.

Pearly Headband and Low Bun

This is probably the easiest and quickest of all three hairstyles I always find myself to long for when I have washed my hair and don´t want to curl or straighten it. All I am doing is to comb my hair and part it in the middle. Then I make a low bun and spray down any hair that´s left somewhere and then I add my headband and cute matching earrings. This is only taking about 5 minutes.

Clip-in hair bow

If you want to add some color and playfullness to your look I would recommend adding a big bow to your hair. If you want to get as much volume as possible I would say curl your hair first like I did and then comb it over your head after letting the curls cool down. This will give you a ton of volume. Now tease the top of your hair and fixate it with volume spray. I use the Syoss Volume Spray that also doubles as a hairspray. Then gather some strands and clip in the bow in the middle of the back of your head. This might need a buch of attempts if you want it to look perfect but it gets better quickly the more often you try.

Sparkly Rhinestone Hair Clip

If your hair is already curled (or however you like it) I would just touch it up with some root spray or volume spray and tease the hair on the back of your head a little. After that choose a side for a side part. I always use the same side cause I think it is the most flattering to part it to the right. Then I refresh my curls and add the sparkliest rhinestone clips I can find. Mine are super old and from Zara but I don´t use them very often so I love to re-use them. Such a classic look inspired by the old and golden era of Hollywood.
