My basic formula for a rockin’ New Year’s Eve? A power lip and a killer dress. If you feel the same, you’re in luck! My friends at COVERGIRL and Rent the Runway have exactly what you need! (And I’m also giving away some treats at the end of this post, too!)

First thing’s first, you need to find a slammin’ dress for the big night. This year I selected the Badgley Mischka Manhattan Socialite dress for myself (which actually has nothing to do with the fact that I just moved to Manhattan). It is the perfect black sparkly cocktail dress for a night like New Year’s Eve. Trust.

If my style differs from yours, Rent the Runway features a variety of different dresses for the occasion… or any occasion, for that matter!

To take the look to the next level of glam, be sure to swipe on some COVERGIRL Colorlicious Lipstick, deliciously rich color infused with moisturizing shea butter for a lippie that’s irresistible. I’m obsessing over the rich red Succulent Cherry shade, but the product is available in 36 shades you can’t help but crave. Try hues from all four color families: smooth nudes, rich reds, yummy plums, and luscious pinks. Trust me, there’s a shade for everyone!

You can find the new COVERGIRL Colorlicious Lipstick at Walmart. If you’d rather win your own (along with a $50 Rent the Runway Gift Card!), hop on Instagram, follow me (@KLMcBroom) and show me a photo of the type of look you’d like to create for New Year’s Eve if you win using the hashtag #KissedbyCOVERGIRL. Don’t forget to tag me in it! Good luck!
