ARTDECO Glam Art Collection

Here’s ARTDECO’s Christmas collection – Glam Art. I love the two all in one palettes – Glam Stars Eyelights, £25.50, in Lilac and Soft Brown. The combination of eye shadow and highlighter is so pretty and easy to wear, but the Glam Art Beauty Box Magnum, £21.05 (where did that 5p come from?) is really tempting, too! The box is refillable and contains an integrated lipstick compartment, and six, shimmery metallic eyeshadows.

The two Glam Star Eyelights have a decorated casing, similar to the Beauty Box. They’re all available from November.

Rouge Bunny Rouge Quartz Eyeliner Devotion Ink

I absolutely love eyeliner, but am usually much happier with a pencil liner than a liquid. However, this liner from RBR is so gentle and easy to use that I’m an easy convert. The one I have is Tiger Eye Essence – it is massively shimmery! The difference between this and regular glitter liners is that it uses 24 carat gold and polished copper with a black ink liquid base, giving it an almost khaki gold look. At £27 – which I consider to be a huge amount for a liner – it doesn’t last as long as it should do (I feel it should last the week at that price!), but will easily see you through an evening. There was a little bit of fall out of miniscule gold particles but overall, it’s a stunning product. It comes in a regular liquid liner pot with a little bit of the signature RBR embellishment and the brush is medium fine. The product is fluid and feels feather light on the skin – but seriously – it’s mega-watt sparkle in such a sophisticated format that it really is a step up from other liners.

Protect your skin against melanoma

Melanoma is an extremely serious type of skin cancer that, although it doesn’t affect as many people as other forms of skin cancer, in fact causes the most deaths. You are at risk of melanoma just about any time when you are without adequate sun protection.
