The must-have beauty items for party time

Tis the season to be merry, therefore we need some special beauty treats to keeep us looking and feeling perky before and after and we think (Santa, FYI) that we’d be adequately prepared with the likes of these four treats in our make up bag.

Bobbi Brown’s Ultimate  Party Collection would be the perfect compact for New Year’s Eve combined with a little Prada Candy gift set.  This Yves Saint Laurent Radiant Make up Set collection is the only way to look like you’ve had more beauty sleep than you may have actually had.  And we’ve recentlyfallen in love with Green and Spring andthis compact gift set is just what we’ll need for a little TLC.

 

Bobbi Brown, £59 at House of Fraser, Prada Candy Gift Set £53, Boots, Yves Sait Laurent £46.50, Boots, Green and Spring £14.50, House of Fraser

Yves Saint Laurent Luxurious Mascara

Beauty Review: Yves Saint Laurent Luxurious Mascara for a False Lash Effect

Price: £21.50
Where to Buy: Debenhams

What it claims to do
Adds volume and definition without making your lashes clumpy and dull. It gives a thick, luxurious and glamorous look.

What our reviewer says
The mascara goes on like a dream, not too heavy and clumpy and leaves a thick, even, glossy coat of mascara.
The mascara lasts throughout the day without smudging and yet it’s easy to remove with eye make-up remover.

Final verdict
Absolutely the best mascara I’ve ever worn. I will be sticking with this one!

Meet the Westfield Beauty Panel

Sarah’s must-have beauty products
- Eye drops! Sounds dull but my eyes get red in front of a PC all day so I always freshen them up with brightening drops.
- Matt powder to remove that end-of-day shine
- YSL Touche Eclat – when I need to look awake at the end of the day, £24 from House of Fraser
- MAC Lipstick and Lipglass to either wear alone or as a balm if the lipstick proves drying, from £12 at MAC
- Elnett hairspray – the best hold and not too heavy, £3.99 (200ml) from Boots
- Clarins hand and nail treatment cream – love the texture, love the smell; £17 from Debenhams

I never leave the house without wearing:

BareMinerals bronzer - for that colour pick-me-up, it blends well for a natural finish (£17 from Debenhams)

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour cream – great for chapped lips and accidental burns! (£23 from House of Fraser)

MAC eye shadow – great colours and it tends to stay put longer than most (from £11 at MAC)

Clarins Beauty Flash Balm – if it’s been a hard night! It really does perk the skin up and help with the elasticity (£26.50 from Debenhams)

Sarah’s favourite beauty treatment
Moisturising anti-ageing facials – my skin always looks well rested afterwards

Sarah’s best beauty tip
Always use an eyelash curler to open up your eyes. The trick is to use it twice on each eye before applying mascara.

If you’re wearing tights and your outfit is clinging to them, rub body moisturiser/hand cream into your hands and then rub this on to the outside of your tights – the static cling will disappear instantly.
