Holiday parties are prime excuses to break out the shimmery makeup and glowy moisturizers that feel too showy the rest of the time. These are the darkest days of the year — you need to emanate a little light!

And with so many new products that are making an effort to use fewer questionable chemicals and more organic ingredients, you can go green while prepping for your next holiday open house or happy hour.

E.S. presents our top picks for head-to-toe pampering from some of our favorite eco-brands.

Bathe Like A Green Queen

To get into the holiday spirit, the decadent Cleopatra’s Milk Bath by The Organic Pharmacy ($50.80) is perfect for ladies with romance on the brain. Soaking in a hot milk bath surrounded by floating rose petals is exactly how the glamorous queen would have melted away seasonal stress (if Ancient Egypt had had Christmas, we suppose). With sensual fragrances like rose, jasmine, and ylang ylang essential oils, this organic powdered milk bath gently exfoliates your skin with lactic acid and puts you in the mood for mistletoe.

Reinvigorate Your Roots

While you’re relaxing in the tub, Weleda’s Rosemary Hair Oil ($14) will work its magic on your tresses and scalp. Massage a bit of this fragrant organic oil into your scalp and roots, then let it sit for an hour to penetrate your hair. Shampoo out and you’re left with soft and shiny hair. Split ends? What split ends?

Your New Goat-To Face Cream

Let artisanal beauty company Chivas bring out your skin’s natural radiance with its Sweet Nothings Goat Milk Creme ($24). The founders of this company sent us a sample and we were instant converts to its organic herbal preparation that soothes even the driest skin. (We’re truly addicted to the fantastic scent!) Slather this on and allow the skin softeners to sink in before applying makeup for a glow from within. And the accompanying Sweet Nothings Vegan Lip Balm ($6) will get your lips kissably smooth without beeswax.

Sparkle Like A Sugar Plum

Chase off the winter blahs with a few spritzes of Tarte’s Celebutante Dry Oil Shimmer Spray ($28). Formulated without petrochemicals, parabens, synthetic dyes or fragrances, or any other of the bad stuff that needs to stay out of beauty products, this coconut-scented body oil with give your skin a touch of champagne shimmer that will make you look like you’ve spent the week in St. Tropez instead of in line at Target.

Beautiful Blowouts

For bombshell hair, Aveda’s Phomollient Styling Foam ($14) cannot be beat. Two or three pumps of this mousse made with certified organic honey, burdock, and marshmallow root is enough to infuse even tired hair with incredible volume and bounce. Apply before blowdrying and you’ll see that this is truly a miracle worker for fine hair.

Men and women with shorter hair will swear by Aveda’s Light Elements Defining Whip ($22) with certified organic lavender water and flax seed. This air-whipped wax gives texture and hold to cropped styles without addingde-voluminizing weight. And all of Aveda’s packaging is made from recycled plastic that can be recycled again once you’ve used up the last smidge of product.

Flawless Finish

The range of natural makeup offered by Everyday Minerals is enough to make your head spin, but if we have to play favorites, hands down it would be the mineral foundation in the Original Glo formula ($9.50). A hint of sparkle gives your skin a natural dewy freshness while imparting flawless coverage over uneven skin tone, all while veiling your face with natural sun protection of approximately SPF 15.

Rosy Cheeks

There’s no better way to get a snow bunny glow than by using Josie Maran’s Cream Blush in Sunrise ($22). With a baby-soft pink tint and organic shea butter and argan, pomegranate, and coconut oils on the ingredient list, this cream melts into skin and blends seamlessly to light up your face.

Perfect Pouts

Leave your mark on your man with Honeybee Gardens’s Truly Natural Lipstick in Caliente ($9.99). Packed with botanicals and lip hydrators, this firey red shade will make you the focal point of his attentions as the clock reaches for midnight on New Year’s Eve. Pucker up!
