Festive lipsticks

The festive season is well and truly upon us and around this time every year, everyone (me included) start to panic about the most dreaded question of all "What to wear?!".

Fear not I'm here to slightly ease your troubles.

Presenting my two well-loved weapons of choice. Rimmel's Kate 107 and Mac Ruby Woo. I love these colours through all the seasons, but around Christmas-time is when they really come out to shine. One of the two will match any outfit you choose; velvet, sequins, chiffon you name it. They are both matte, and last eons, all the better to grab the lucky guy and find some mistletoe already!

Or you know, sip on as many glasses of mulled wine and munch as many mince pies as you want. :) Now all you have to do is find a pretty dress..

Wake me up

I'm been looking for a good quality 'drugstore' foundation for a while now, and I think I'm finally found a winner! The thing I love most about this foundation in particular is the smell.

Whilst most foundations have that distinctly powery foundation smell (anyone who has ever used foundation will know what I'm talking about), Rimmel Wake Me Up smells pleasantly fresh and vaguely fruity. In a good way.

I'm not the first to jump of the wake-me-up bandwagon, as many, many bloggers have written rave reviews, and I guess I'll just add this one to that already very long list.

You may have also heard about the sparkly qualities. This put me off for a while because although everyone loves a nice glow, no one wants to look like Edward Cullen, but the shimmery effect isn't at all noticeable under daylight and you can only really see it if you hold it up under artificial lighting and squint.

What's your favourite foundation?
