It seems nigh on impossible to wear sparkly make-up without looking like a lost little 5 year old; all too often does it scream let-lose-in-someone-else's-make-up-box. But with Christmas and New Year parties fast approaching, I can't help but dabble in the latest glitter inventions in the cosmetics industry. I can't speak from experience, having not tested and tried it, but Givenchy's Gloss Interdit looks like it combines the perfect amount gloss with subtle minute specks of glitter - if in doubt, smaller sparkly particles strike a more elegant look.
I'm usually one chained to Chanel 4 ombres, so it takes a lot for me to embrace a new eyeshadow, but Nars' Night Life is the thing of grown up fairytales! Magical.
And lastly, the rather clumpy and difficult subject of mascara. The worst 'glitter' mascara I've tried is Lancome's Hypnose shimmering edition. Well, it isn't that bad, but for the odd £20 you have to hand over for it, I can almost guarantee disappointment. I hate to give a bad review, but it doesn't offer much in the way of volume or length, and as a top coat effectively sticks your finely brushed lashes together in a cosmetics car crash. Guerlain's Fairy Mascara is by far the best I've ever tried. A limited edition launched a good few years ago, I don't know if I should be impressed that my tube hasn't dried up yet, or grossed out that some make-up I own is many years old! Still, this isn't one to give to the bin in the name of hygiene, and besides, it rarely gets an outing because it is too special for every day use. The clear mascara is sprinkled with tiny glitter pieces, in a beautiful spectrum of multi-colours. Brushed just on the lower lash line, it really brings just the right amount of sparkle to your make-up look! Perfect! Shame you can't buy it for love nor money...
