Actress and Carmex Moisture Plus® Spokesperson Talks Holiday Glam and her Favorite Stocking Stuffers in Upcoming Twitter Chat
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- From office parties to gift exchanges with friends, holiday happy hours to New Year's Eve blowouts – figuring out what to wear for every event on your calendar at this time of year can cause more panic than holiday cheer. To help make holiday fashion fun again, actress, lifestyle blogger and Carmex Moisture Plus® spokesperson Shay Mitchell shares her top five secrets to perfecting any party look this season. For even more of Shay and her advice on getting glammed for the holidays, fans are invited to attend a Twitter chat on Wednesday, Dec. 17 at 7 p.m. EST/4 p.m. PST using the hashtag #CarmexShayQnA.
- Invest in a coat with personality. Keeping warm shouldn't mean hiding that cute party dress with drab winter wear. Make a splash before you've even reached the coat rack with a leather jacket or a bold (faux!) fur.
- Pack a pretty clutch with all the essentials. I like to keep a simple, versatile black clutch stocked with the basics on hand so I don't forget to switch anything over from my daytime bag. Mine has gum, a mirror, extra ponytail holders and Carmex Moisture Plus® to keep my lips protected from the winter elements.
- Choose fabrics, colors and cuts that reflect your personal style. If red and green aren't your thing, don't feel like you have to stick with the traditional holiday colors just because it's a holiday party. Have a neon pink blazer you've been dying to show off? Rock it! Wearing what makes you feel comfortable is the best way to look beautiful in your own skin.
- Don't overdo accessories – let a few signature pieces pop. Keep your party accessories to a minimum and the ones you wear will stand out that much more. A glittery necklace paired with simple bracelets is a fool-proof combination; add pizzazz to your outfit with surprise accents like a fashion print Carmex Moisture Plus® lip balm!
- Let your nails do the talking. Speaking of accents, a festive nail design spices up any look. Right now I'm loving mixing textures in my mani – like this Evergreen nail that pairs glitter and beading! Manicures are a little detail that put the finishing touches on your look and can be switched up as often as you change outfits.
Mitchell, who is best known for her role as Emily Fields on the ABC Family series Pretty Little Liars, was announced as the spokesperson for Carmex Moisture Plus® in September 2014. The Carmex® brand, known for moisturizing dry lips since 1937 re-launched its Carmex Moisture Plus® Lip Balm line last year with new, fashion inspired packaging. The lipstick-style balm packs unbelievable, velvety moisture into a stylish slim stick.
"Growing up in Canada, I have always relied on Carmex products to protect my lips from the winter weather, and I love that the fashionable new design options of Moisture Plus make lip care another way to spice up my holiday looks," said Shay. "I love matching the patterns to my different party ensembles – and the sticks are the perfect size for stocking stuffers."
Carmex Moisture Plus® lip balm packs a moisturizing satiny shine, SPF 15 and a soft vanilla flavor. With four vibrant patterns, one is sure to fit your unique personality – Whimsical in a blue feather design, Fab in a feminine geometric pattern, Starlet in an elegant black and white scheme and Adventurous in a red snakeskin print.
"Limited edition Carmex Moisture Plus® designs are introduced four times a year so shoppers can expect to see new, stylish patterns at their favorite store on a regular basis," said Jona Mancuso, Marketing Director, Carma Laboratories, Inc.
