Dita Von Teese Golden Vintage Eyelights for ArtDeco
New Dita Von Teese Golden Vintage Eyelight in Menage à Trois, £25, pictured with Diya Von Teese Golden Vintage Blusher in Enravish, £25, by ArtDeco
This ornate palette by Dita Von Teese for ArtDeco is a touch of vintage glamour for any make up collection. The packaging is cute and retro, not quite as expensive looking as other shadow palettes of this price range due to the fact it's made from plastic, but it's nice and light if you're often on the go.
The shadow itself is a really fabulous trio of dusky pinks with a deep mocha, a glamorous and softer alternative to charcoal. The shadow is fine and smooth, with a heavy shimmer. Definitely one for super glam evenings. I love how the tones compliment blue eyes, so I tried it out on my dear friend Anna...
Get the look:
1. Apply a base primer to the eyelids to minimise shadow stray. I used ArtDeco eyeshadow base, £8, which is creamy and neutral.
2. Using a narrow eyeshadow brush, apply the darkest tone to the outer edge of the eyelid, sweeping lightly inwards across the crease
3. Apply the deeper pink shade onto the mid section of the eyelid, blending into the mocha shadow
4. Use the lightest shadow to the blend everything together seamlessly with a soft shadow blending brush
5. Use the lightest shadow to highlight the brow bone beneath the brows
6. Apply a thin line of liquid liner to the lash line, dragging out the edges slightly. Apply underneath the water line, dragging inwards under the last 1/3 section of the eye. I used ArtDeco High Precision Liquid Liner, £21. It's scarily precise!
7. Open up the eye with a touch of creamy concealer in the inner corners. I used New CID Cosmetics i-open double ended eye line and concealer, £16.50
Here's a rough guide for enhancing beautiful eyes:
Brown line = Dark tones
Pink line = Mid tones
White line = Highlights

MAC Vanilla Highlighter: Get the Look for Less
I have watched so many online tutorials where make-up artists use MAC pigment in vanilla, £16.50, as a highlighter for the cheeks. It's great to have a highlighter which isn't pink based, for those looks which need a more neutral shimmer. The Vanilla loose powder is a soft ivory white, really great to compliment a full red lip.

Poudre Signee De Chanel Illuminating Powder: Review and Swatch
How absolutely gorgeous is this new illuminating powder by Chanel? The powder design is so ornate and beautiful that it seems like a sin to actually use it! Poudre Signee de Chanel, £46, available from Boots.com, may be a bit hefty on the price tag, but it really is 100% luxury... perhaps a justified one off splurge?
A limited edition release for Spring 2013, the 'Spirit of Chanel' powder is encased in a beautifully classic compact, which in turn is encased in a lovely little velvet pouch, complete with an applicator. So luxury, that the powder even has a crested little plastic cover (I practically squealed with delight at this little touch, although I'm not entirely sure why...)
I can't say I was overly thrilled with the applicator, it seemed far too firm to use on the intricate palette, so I instead opted for my super soft Body Shop Face & Body Brush to sweep the illuminating powder across my cheek and brow bones.
The powder itself has a flattering light golden-pink base, without being too OTT on the shimmer. It's a subtle enhancer, delicate and sheer with an eye-catching luminosity. The powder is long-lasting and ever so fine, it sits really well on the skin for hours after application.
I love the soft warmth of this highlighting powder, it adds a lovely and natural glow to the face. It's a pricey product, but serious luxury by Chanel.

Benefit Face Powder in Sugarbomb: My No.1 Daytime Blush
Benefit Face Powder in Sugarbomb, £23.50, available from Benefitcosmetics.co.uk
Gorgeously soft and warming, this blush adds a beautifully subtle glow to the cheeks. It's really complimenting to both pale and medium complexions, and would make a great shimmering highlighter for darker skin tones.
The palette balance of golden bronzes and pinks (rose, shimmering pink, soft plum, sumptuous peach) means that you don't end up with a harsh block of blush, so no Coco the Clown in sight (phew!)
I sweep the blush over the apples of my cheeks everyday for a 'natural' radiance, perfect for creating glowing, healthy skin. A look of natural perfection. I also like to use it as a base to soften a stronger blush for nights out, applying a sweep of NARS blush in Orgasm across my cheek bones for an extra oomph.

Top marks from me! Sugarbomb Face Powder is a make-up bag must for everyday gorgeousness.

Benefit Ultra Shine Lip Shine in Foxy Lady
If you're on the lookout for a super-glossy, non-sticky, beautifully scented gloss, then Benefit Ultra Shines Lip Shine in Foxy Lady, now £7.00 in the sales, available from Benefitcosmetics.co.uk,
is absolutely perfect. It's packed full of glorious pinky-golden shimmer. I love to glide a layer over a feminine pink lipstick (currently I'm using Chanel Rouge Allure 112 Fantasque, available this spring 2013) for a temptingly kissable, glossy pout.
I think I'll be getting a lot of wear out of this beautiful little gloss as we head towards summer, it's so pretty and eye-catching. This really is a pink to make the boys wink.

Planet NARS: Blush in Orgasm
For a gorgeous golden-pink shimmer, I love NARS blush in Orgasm, £21.00, available from NARScosmetics.co.uk. Thanks to the super strong pigment, you only need the tiniest of sweeps for a gorgeous, healthy glow...which means that it lasts for AGES, wahoo!
I'm a big fan of the teensy light-reflecting gold particles in this blush, so eye-catching and beautiful!

Gold and Turquoise Shimmering Eyeshadow Effect
For a gorgeous Arabic inspired shadow effect, try a shimmering gold across your eyelids, fading into a rich turquoise. So Princess Jasmine. Here's how I got a look fit for Aladdin's finest cave...
How-to
1. Sweep a warm gold shade across your eyelids.
2. Add a few dabs of Benefit Sun Beam Illuminator below your brows and blend down into the golden shadow
3. Now apply the turquoise. Start in the far corner and gradually blend into the gold. The turquoise should be darkest at the very corner of your eyelid. A good eyeshadow brush makes this look a gazillion times easier.
4. Complete the blend with a few sweeps of gold into the blue shades. Voila, prettier than a butterfly!
Top tip: Notch up the drama of this trend by extending the turquoise out into a delicious feline point.

Chanel Rouge Allure in 112 Fantasque: Available Spring 2013
Ladies and metro-men, I present to you the most fabulous lip-wear available to mankind. Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour. It is achingly sophisticated. Effortless class. Iconic luxury. And, joy to the beauty world, there are four brand new shades about to become available in January 2013.
I had the pleasure of reviewing the gorgeously sheer, shimmering pink, 112 Fantasque. The colour is very feminine and complimented my skin tone fabulously, the slight golden tones bringing out a natural warmth. This lippy left my pout nicely hydrated and soft, and stayed put after application.
At £25, this lip-wear may be a bit of a splurge. But it is beautiful.
