Bejazzled Beauty!

If you’re gonna be splashing out on a fancy new outfit for those festive parties why not indulge in some sparkly beauty treats too? At this time of the year the cosmetics counters are packed with tons of gorgeous glistening lip glosses, shimmery eye shadows, luscious liquid liners as well as an endless airy of glossy nail polishes. So let your face glow and glisten this party season with the return of party proof gorgeous make-up. Here are a few of our fav products to try out:

Eyes were once described in the film ‘House Bunny’ as “the nipples of the face”. Now that may be a bit of an odd description but there’s no denying that it is all in the eyes. To ensure your peepers are looking their most gorgeous try out some of these fantastic and surprising cheap shadows by 17 available at Boots.

Or if you’re feeling flush we recommend MAC’s Paint pot.  At £13.00 it’s rather pricey but it’s a perfect treat for smooth on - stay on beauty! Comes in a variety of colours but we love this one:
