New Year Beauty and Style Tips

Chic and stylish secrets to show off all season long

From the LifeMInute team

Let's make this the most glamorous holiday season yet. Here to help, Polly Blitzer from Beautyblitz.com.

If you plan to show off your skin for the first time since the summer, Blitzer says make sure your skin is in check. She likes to use Olay Ultra Moisture body wash. "Your skin will glow, look beautiful and be soft as a baby," she says. It packs a trifecta of luxury for your skin; moisturizing ingredients such as shea butter, two times the lather of a leading body wash and a delicious scent. Pick it up at drugstores for under $6.

For sleek and chic hair, look no further than Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Collection. "It's almost like you have a live-in hair stylist," says Blitzer. That's because their Repair and Finish Spray, a 2-in-1 leave-in conditioner, gives you lasting hold. The foaming air mousse makes your hair smooth enough to run your fingers through, yet it gives you the strong hold you need to last you from office parties to cocktail soirees.

Since you'll be chatting up a storm at those parties, you'll definitely want fresh breath. Polly suggests Listerine Whitening Fresh plus Restoring Fluoride Rinse. "When you kiss that special someone you won't have germs or bad breath, and you also get the two-in-one benefits of stronger tooth enamel," says Blitzer. And don't forget to smile because the rinse whitens teeth 2X whiter than your whitening toothpaste. All you have to do is swish twice a day for 60 seconds after you brush. Find it at drugstores for only $6.49.

When it comes to holiday fashion, the best kept secret is David's Bridal. "Celebrity wardrobe stylists are actually shopping there, and it's not just for brides -- you can actually get head-to-toe holiday looks," says Blitzer. It's your one-stop shop for on-trend cocktail dresses and gowns in all different colors, styles and silhouettes in sizes 0 to 26. They also have shoes, handbags and jewelry at really affordable prices, so don't forget to "get your accessory on." Shop online and in stores.
