This fantastic, gold/coppery creamy eyeliner pencil goes on smoothly, is reasonably priced and comes with smudge brush that’s handy for a smokier effect. ★ ★ ★ ★

Rococco nail varnish in Andromeda
£11.50, Space NK
Really liked this – a rich and dark sparkly shine. Two coats for a solid finish, and my nails lasted four days without chipping. ★ ★ ★ ★

Armani Lip Shimmer No 61
£17.50
Went on like a dream and it’s a gorgeous shade. Non-sticky with lasting power – still on my lips after several cups of coffee. Expensive, but worth it. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Givenchy Parad’Eyes Liner in Elegant Pearl
£18.50
Beautiful mauve shimmer and nice packaging, too. Downside is there’s more brush than product. But applies well and great for pepping up a party look. ★ ★ ★
