With all these holiday parties, sometimes I find it fun to experiment when it comes to make up. If you’re anything like me, my daily routine includes lip balm and (sometimes, but rarely) a lip stain.

Maybe you’re searching for an easy, but still elegant, holiday look, or you just can’t seem to tame your static-y flyaway hair. Whatever it is, leave your question in the comments, and it might be answered, right here, on Simply Stated.
