Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Hope you are all enjoying the festive season, and having fun experimenting with lots of different skin and make-up techniques.

We thought we would bring you our top five things to take with you in your handbag, whether you are staying at friends and relatives for Christmas, or out and about in the festive season:

* Vaseline
A must for the cold weather, protecting the lips, and can be used on dry skin on the face/hands anywhere. And so cheap and small for a handbag must have!

* Dry Shampoo
If you are staying away, you may not have time to wash your hair, and central heating can play havoc with your hair do. Spray a bit of dry shampoo, (James Brown is a good make) and your ready to go!

* Face mask
The alcohol consumed at Christmas can dehydrate the skin very quickly. A travel sized face mask will bring your skin back to live the day after. If you don't have time to leave it on for the suggested amount of time, use it as a face wash instead.

* Versatile moisturiser
Something that can be used on face, hands, legs. Travel size miniatures from any of the brands are perfect for this - I save my Liz Earle samples throughout the year to take away with me.

*Mascara
You may not have room for all your make-up or time to spend slaving over your face when the turkey is cooking and potatoes are boiling over, but a quick stroke of mascara will instantly glam up any look.

Merry Christmas to you all and Stay Beautiful during the festive season!
