Hate the hassle of dressing up for Christmas parties but still want to look pretty? One secret is doing a little bit of prep before the event so you can go lax on your look during the big day.

Try these pre-party beauty hacks for starters:

For your hair

Skip the bother of waking up early just to blow dry and iron out your hair. Before going to sleep, apply half a pump of Smoothing Hair Serum on dry hair and then braid it however you like. When you wake up the next morning, carefully fingercomb out the braid and voila – you've got instant soft, wavy tresses! Secure it afterwards with hairspray.

For your eyes

With a calendar packed with dinners, parties and get-togethers (not to mention deadlines), it's easy to get zapped of energy, and the first tell tale sign is always puffy,tired eyes. Nip that beauty woe in the bud with Precious Pillow Herbal Eyepatch.

Chill this 100% natural aromatherapy herbal eyepatch and put it on your eyes before going to sleep. The herbs will work their wonders overnight to prevent the oncoming swelling of the eyes, keeping your peepers pretty and ready for the day ahead.

For your skin

If you have acne-prone skin and know that a slew of late nights makes you break out, curb the possibility of that happening by using Acne Defense Facial Wash and Acne Defense Face Toner a week or so before the celebrations start. It has pimple-fighting tea tree which will help stop pimples before they start popping up.
