Holiday Party’s are right around the corner and one of the things you definitely don’t want to do is wait until the last minute to try and get yourself together, especially in the beauty department. This month Babblebox dropped off some pretty amazing products in this months Party Me Pretty box that I can incorporate into daily routine to prepare myself for some of the Christmas “Slaying” that I’ll be doing.

This year I’ll more than likely be rocking a gorgeous red matte lip and so I’m prepping by keeping my perfect and pouty with Chapstick Total Hydration. I love that Chapstick now makes a lip scrub that is formulated with natural ingredients like Maracuja, Coconut Oil, and Shea Butter. When wearing a matte lip, the last thing you want is dry peeling skin ruining your lipstick. To complete your lip care swipe on some of the Chapstick Total Hydration Moisture + Tint. It’s the first-ever tinted lip balm from the experts in lip care. There are four shades, but Merlot is my favorite, as it gives my lips a light natural tint on days when I don’t feel like putting on lipstick.
Now that we have our lips in check it’s time to pick out that perfect scent. For a Holiday party, I’d suggest a Fragrance that’s fun, flirty, but also sexy like Katy Perry’s Mad Love. The tops notes of Lady Apple Sorbet, Mara Strawberry, and Pink Grapefruit are sweet and fruity. This slowly melds down to a softer floral of Peony Petals, Sun-kissed Jasmine, and bleeding heart. The base notes of Sandalwood, Skin Musk, and Coconut Wood are my absolute favorite, causing the sexiness of the fragrance to come out.
For best wear of a fragrance like this, you don’t want to just spray it on. Katy Perry suggests spraying the fragrance in the air and then walking through it. This way you’re completely covered.
My hair isn’t that long, but it doesn’t mean I’m not going to try a fun updo by adding a few pieces. Since my hair is natural it’s more prone to frizz I want a light holding hairspray that will keep each strand in check, but not make my hair feel stick as a stick. Paul Mitchell’s MarulaOil Rare Oil Perfecting Hairspray $26 is a lightweight flexible layering hairspray that replenishes while it tames and locks out frizz and humidity. I’ve tried this hair spray out a couple of times on my twist outs and surprisingly it causes them to hold up pretty well even in the rain. Plus, my natural hair loves moisture and oils and since this hairspray retails for just $26, I plan to keep this one in stock!
I’ve been sharing tons about skincare on Being Melody this year because I mean hello, I’m getting older and I want to make sure I look as good as Cicely Tyson when I get her age. I mean have yall seen her? Mama looks good! I’ve been doing a chemical peel series but I kind of draw the lines at needles. That’s why I’m excited about the Dr. Brandt Needles No More 3-D Filler Mask. It’s basically a facelift in a jar.
This volumizing face mask can be used daily. It adds volume, plumps the skin and smooth laugh lines to help reshape the natural face contour over time. This is definitely something you want to add into your beauty routine, but don’t blame me when you start getting carded.
