The office Christmas party is just around the corner, which means it's time to treat yourself to a sparkly new dress and look your absolute best.

And if you've got your eye on a cute guy from accounts, you'll need more than a few glasses of champers and a sprig of mistletoe – you need a plan of attack! Here's how to look and feel your gorgeous best...

Preparation is everything
You've splashed out on a gorgeous LBD for the Christmas party, so you'll want gorgeous skin to go with it.

You can now look gorgeous at home with The Soap & Glory Big Softie Jumbo Holdall which contains everything you need for super soft skin. Exfoliate at least twice a week and use an exfoliating mitt every day - and don't forget to rehydrate skin with a boost of light self-tanning moisturiser for added glow.

Turn heads this year
The Christmas party is the perfect opportunity to experiment with a new hair style – but make sure you have a least one or two practise runs before the big night.

Salon perfect curls are easier to create than you think. The BaByliss You Curl features advanced ceramic heating and cooling plates to create large bouncy curls or beautiful waves in minutes.

If you fancy going poker straight, Babyliss Radiance Sleek Straighteners deliver a constant high heat for professional results. The ceramic smooth plates and ionic steam enhance the condition of your hair, eliminating frizz for a high-shine finish.

Kiss and makeup
Kissing with confidence means great oral hygiene (and steering clear of that onion dip!) Philips Sonicare Healthy White Electric Toothbrush is clinically proven to remove everyday stains to help teeth look whiter and healthier in just two weeks.

For the perfect smooch, keep lips moisturised and soft but go easy on the gloss, unless you want to lock lips forever! Clarins Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm contains shea butter, wild mango, and vitamins A and E to help smooth and repair lips – and keep them kissably soft.

Get your underwear right
To look fantastic on the night you need to start with the basics – and that means getting your underwear right. Invest in a well-fitting bra, if you haven't been measured for a while, now is a good time to ask for a fitting service.

Think about underwear early - there's nothing worse than slipping into a gorgeous halter neck dress only to realise you've forgotten to buy a strapless bra.

If you're wearing a tight number, consider investing in some magic underwear to smooth any lumps and bumps. You'll find lots of sexy styles on the high street that you won't mind showing off – should the opportunity arise of course!
