We love this product because in less than 5 minutes it’ll leave your hair feeling soft, supple, beautifully glossy and tangle free.

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick

About: Finding the perfect lipstick is what December’s all about.  With a calendar full of social engagements, dinners, drinks and festive parties it’s important to find a lip colour that’ll last as long as you will.

Although it’s not a new addition to the Bojouris range, Rogue Edition Velvet Lipsicks are continuously appearing in our makeup bags. Their rich long lasting colour wins out every time.

Clarins Radiance Plus Golden Glow Booster

Clarins Radiance Plus Golden Glow Booster

About: This long-lasting little 15ml vial gives you complete control over your facial tanning. Why this hasn’t been done by any of the beauty giants sooner, we’ve no idea!

The Booster is designed to be mixed with your existing moisturiser, turning it in to a tailored self-tanning cream - you decide exactly how much you need to use. Simply add 1-3 drops to your regular cream or lotion once a day (we find night works best) and apply to your face and neck. When you’re happy with the intensity of colour you’ve achieved, add 2 drops daily to maintain your healthy golden glow.

Where to Buy: Boots £18.00
