Do You Need An Ear Cuff? These Celebs Love 'Em!






 There’s a new must-have accessory for your ear—the ear cuff! Celebs like Jennifer Lawrence and Rita Ora have been rocking the edgier ear bling in place (or sometimes, in addition to) their standard studs or drops for an extra pop of style.
Chunky, bejeweled versions that encircle your ear (like J-Law and Rita's mega cuffs) are popular for the red carpet, and are a great way to add an unexpected element to your holiday look. Just keep the rest of your jewelry to a minimum when working a sparkly statement cuff. For every day, daintier cuffs worn just at the top of your ear are a more low-key way to rock the trend and look especially cool if you're going for a stacked look (like Cara Delevigne's punk-y mix). Even if your style isn't super edgy, adding a cuff is an easy way to give any outfit a cool, fashion-y feel.

5 Tips To Keep Your Lipstick On Your Lips!.....







 
      Rocking red lips is the fastest way to look glam and festive for the holidays. But with so many yummy treats to snack on and maybe a few smooches under the mistletoe, that red lipstick could end up everywhere but your lips if you're not careful. To avoid clown mouth, follow these super-easy steps to keep your lipstick where it belongs—on your gorgeous pout!
1. Exfoliate. Scrub your lips with the rest of your face while you're in the shower in the morning. A gentle exfoliator will smooth over the flakes that come with winter's chapped lips.
2. Moisturize. With the temperatures dropping faster than you can say "pumpkin spice latté," moisturizing everything, including your lips is key. Stock up on a long-lasting chapstick to keep your pucker from getting chapped and use it before applying lipstick to help it go on smoothly.
3. Prime & Line. Use an easy-to-apply lip primer to set the stage for the bold color. Once it's absorbed, outline you lips in a liner that's the same shade of your natural lip color.
4. Add Your Red. Apply your red lipstick of choice in two swipes.  Blot a couple times on a tissue and repeat with another swipe of lipstick, followed by another blot. Do this until you score your desired color strength.
5. Set with Powder. You heard us, powder—on your lips. A light, transulescent powder will help keep the color in place even after you enjoy a huge mug of hot chocolate!
