  Perfume is one the biggest selling presents (for her) at christmas time. I'm really never sure what people would like as I think its such a personal preference. However, here are some of the most popular on the market so far.. Jean Paul Gaultier Classique is a really popular perfume with an amazing bottle design! This was launched in the 90's and is still a great choice. £36 -£44 100ml RRP Lady Gaga Fame is another favourite. Although there are so many celebrity scents out its difficult to know which to choose. This is a lovely bottle, quite classy looking. £19 30ml RRP This is a gorgeous perfume and the bottle is super cute! Marc Jacobs has a few fragrances that are really nice and this is no different.  £31.99 RRP Classic Calvin Klein beautiful elegant fragrance. Bottle is super sophisticated and its a lovely feminine scent. £29.99 + RRP These are all usually reduced in the sales as well mind you so its up to you when to buy! :)

Try not to be too matchy matchy with your make up and outfit. Red lips are a great look for the holiday season. If you have a gorgeous outfit thats sparkly etc. keep make up to a minimum. Sequin dresses look fab with a smokey eye! If you want a shimmery eye, try mixing a cream with glitter/shimmer eyeshadow and always pat it on with a brush if possible.

Highlighter should be applied to any darker parts of your face. Use a well lit place with a mirror. Swipe a line of highlighter just below eyesbrows, tops of cheeks and nose. If you go for a bright red lip make the rest of your make up natural add just a little mascara and blush etc.  For a smokey eye use a

There are so many new and amazing foundations on the market, I've narrowed them down to some of my faves. They promise to keep you looking good for longer! Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation £9.99 This is a brilliant foundation. Good coverage, I'd say light to medium and glides on easily and smells amazing. I find it lasts all day and you don't need a massive amount. It's a high end product as far as I'm concerned for a great price! Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation £8.99 This really does give your skin a nice subtle glow, its a light/medium coverage again so possibly need to touch up with concealer (unless you are blessed with good skin) smells nice too. Max Factor Miracle Touch Foundation £12.99 This feels so amazing on your skin! It's so lightweight it doesn't feel like your wearing any foundation, which I like, cakey is not good! It has a good coverage, drys evenly, lasts for ages and blends really well too. Estee Lauder Double Wear Light Foundatio
