Christmas Sparkle // Nars Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow

BEAUTY

Christmas is just the perfect time for glitter, don't you think? Over the festive season I love to put that extra oomph into my eye make-up and this Nars Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in the shade Dione does exactly that. Dione is an extremely sparkly silver-taupe shade and looks just perfect when pared with a darker brown shade at the outer corners of the eyes, as well as alone. This shade looks cool in the pan but is much warmer when on the eyes, which I like.

Not Your Average Blusher // Tom Ford Ravish

BEAUTY

So it's getting closer to Christmas, and in my mind this calls for some serious luxury and glamour - this year in the form of Tom Fords gorgeous blusher in the shade Ravish. I wanted something a little different from all the corals and pinks I usually reach for, and this shade fits the bill perfectly.

Winter Savior // Lush Popcorn Lip Scrub

BEAUTY

So…it's winter - this can only mean one thing; the curse of chapped, dry lips! A mix of the dreaded winter wind and cold, plus central heating sadly does this to me, meaning my lips are in desperate need of some extra TLC. Without further ado, step forward Lush's popcorn lip scrub - my lip saviour!

Lips + Boys // Tom Ford Michael Lipstick

BEAUTY

When I heard that Tom Ford was releasing a collection of 50 miniature lipsticks all named after the various men who have influenced his life, I could almost hear my purse crying. Throw in the words "limited early release" and voila purchase made! In all fairness, I am proud of myself for only choosing one, although it was a long and tough decision (ha! seriously though it was). Eventually I went for Michael - a vibrant warm pink-coral, with a slight frosty finish and a subtle shimmer running through.
