Are you ready for festive season!

The party season is (almost) upon us….

think busy diaries,

late nights and lots of sparkle with flutes of champagne!

Now is the perfect time to start stocking up on beauty essentials to see you through the next few months. But where to start?

Obviously lots of water and sleep are a must (you’ll never regret a pre-party nap), but since the festive season is but a stone’s throw away, so before you hit those xmas parties here is a guide to get ready for the festivities.

Prep and Prepare

Not only will an anti-blemish primer even out your complexion, but it will also keep your party look lasting all night long, even if you’re dancing until dawn.

An insider tip? Try mixing a primer with your foundation for a translucent, luminous effect.

Perfect pout

Whether you want to add instant glam to your party look, or brighten up your face to distract from tired eyes the morning after, a slick of pillar-box red lipstick is a party season essential. Don’t leave home without it.

Spotless Skin

Late nights and lack of sleep can often take a toll on your skin. That’s why cleansing wipes are your secret weapon – you can freshen up, cleanse and get rid of pesky impurities without the hassle factor.
