THE BEST OF CHRISTMAS - BEAUTY

When going to events, I sometimes find that many people forget that it isn't just about what you're wearing that counts; it is also about your make-up as well. Christmas always reminds me of red or berry lips, with a classic eye and a hint of gold. Whilst looking for inspiration- this image alongside the video are very season appropriate and work well for any event this time of year, as they can easily be played down or glammed up:

I love trying out new things and looks this time of year as many brands put together mini collections that can be used for gifts! It's an excuse to buy yourself a gift, that may be a bit besides the point but any excuse is a good enough excuse to treat yourself! To try out some of the looks featured above, I have put together a variety of items that are suitable and versatile enough to be used daily- for daytime wear alongside a night-time look. These are some of the items that I am currently lusting over from my favourite cosmetics brands:
