Get your festive glam on!

After almost two years of a global pandemic putting the party brake pads on – we’re chomping at the bit to rock around the Christmas tree this year! Ordinarily, this time of year always requires high levels of glamour (and quite rightly so), but Christmas 2021 will surely warrant that extra sprinkle of glitter! Whether you have the whole day to experiment or are looking for desk-to-dancefloor inspiration, we’re here to get you into the Yuletide spirit with a selection of our pre-party pamper favourites and top make up picks to see you through the season in style. Go on, crank up Slade and get beautifying!

Pucker up

For plump kissable lips, Balance Active Formula Gold Collagen Lip Masks are a must-have. They contain Colloidal Gold and Marine Collagen to help soften, smooth and moisturise lips, leaving them looking fuller. Plus, it’s a pack of two, so if you’re getting ready with a friend, you can both get in on the action.

Skin prep

Before applying moisturiser or makeup, it’s important to exfoliate. Taking off any dead skin allows creams to be more easily absorbed and lets powders sit more naturally. Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost Exfoliator Smoothing Gel contains soft skin-smoothing microbeads that gently remove impurities, while hyaluronic acid makes skin feel more supple.

We’ve not had as many chances as usual to go on holiday over the past couple of years, so – if you’re anything like us – you might be feeling a bit pale. If you’re after a subtle tan, Palmer’s Gradual Tanning Lotion contains pure Cocoa Butter and Vitamin E, along with just a touch of tanner. It’s suitable for all skin tones and provides moisture for 24 hours.

Luscious locks

Get the perfect hair toss, with Herbal Essences Coconut Milk Hair Mask. With zero colourants or paraffin and 90% natural origin ingredients, this gorgeous smelling coconut milk mask helps to hydrate hair – even colour-treated tresses. It’s also cruelty-free, as certified by PETA.

Eye contact

Too much coffee, not enough sleep? Not to worry! Balance Active Formula Gold Collagen Under Eye Masks are the perfect solution. With Colloidal Gold, to give a natural radiant glow, and Marine Collagen to help smooth and protect, these masks cool, refresh and revive tired-looking eyes.

Finally, get beautifully defined brows before you head out with Eylure Dybrow 45-day mascara in black. This permanent eyebrow tint takes less than 15 minutes to apply and gives you dark, glossy brows for up to six weeks! Plus, one pack lasts for up to 12 applications, so you can really make the most of it.

Now, it’s time for a mulled wine or two, don’t you think?
