ShopAddikt's 2014 NYE Tips

Are you ready to ring in 2014?! Make sure you sparkle while the ball drops on NYE with these ShopAddikt's tips for welcoming 2014!

1. Bring on the bling.

Somewhere on that gorgeous figure you should sparkle like that New Year's ball dropping. Hottest trends this year include sequin mini skirts and bedazzled bodycon dresses. Accessories can add sparkle as well, look for a sequin clutch or charming waterfall earrings to make a statement. Looking for something more subtle? Try a glitter manicure or eyeliner to add just the right amount of glitter to match your personal taste.

                                          

2. Lip service.

We all know that big kiss is bound to happen between couples, friends, and strangers alike. Make sure your lips are ready to pucker with a long lasting lip shade, after all no one wants to go home from the big party looking like they made out with a circus clown. Our pics for the best long-lasting lipsticks are...

Max Factor Lipfinity-  This two part duo is made up of a long-wear stain and topcoat. Tip: You will want to purchase some baby oil to take this off at the end of the night and don't forget to take the top coat with you to reapply when your lips are in need of moisturizing.

 

Stila Long Wear Lip Color- This will need a reapplication once or twice throughout the night, but the color is long lasting verses conventional lipstick and it offers more of a lip balm quality that will keep your lips soft.

 

Christian Dior Rouge Dior Replenishing Lipcolor- This lipstick stands as the only traditional choice that offers a slight color stain and moisturizing properties. Top quality ingredients will leave your lips supple and ready for impact.

3. Keep it classy.

We all know the champagne flows when we ring in the New Year, but no one wants to be "that girl" at the office party or public event that can't keep her voice down or her eyes open. Balance your celebration juice with equal parts water and pace yourself. NYE parties can last hours, there is no point in passing out before the ball drops. 

In work settings make sure you maintain the same persona you bring with you to the office. Remember you will have to see these people when you go into the office on Monday. No one wants to execute the walk of shame in the workplace.

If you are planning a private party be sure to invite neighbors and make it clear whether guests are welcome to bring children or not. Let's face it, it's hard to hold your class of bubbly with a two year old wrapped around your legs.

If your plans take you out on the town to a public event, just be sure you have a ride home and a partner-in-crime. In case the creepy dude by the bar won't stop looking your way, it's good to have a friend who will step in his line of sight.
