Christmas is less than a week away but I’m not even half way done with buying presents.

Yesterday, we had our first Christmas dinner and I had to go straight from work. Luckily, I received fun nail lacquers from Deborah Lippmann and I chose New York State of Mind, a metallic red that made my nails pop like red foil used as Christmas wrappers. I called Massage By Us and had my nails done in a rush. I was so inspired by my red nails that I used NARS Dragon Girl, a matte lip pencil, to match.

I tied my hair and used Phytolaque hairspray, which I leave in the office, sprayed on Chanel No. 5 and I was ready for dinner. Yes, the nails took about 20 minutes but everything else took five. This will be my look this season and for those on the go, I suggest you try it too.

Since I’m not ready for Christmas gift-wise, I asked some of my officemates what beauty products they won’t mind receiving this season and here are their replies. Maybe you can get gift ideas from them as well.
