So how’s your Christmas prep been so far? After planning what food, drink and presents to buy for that, oh, so happy one day of the year, battling the busy streets to actually buy them, only to find that the latest children’s must have pressie is already out of stock at every toyshop in town..
Also, why is it that people wait until the Christmas run up to host a party? This means that by the time December 25th comes around I’m usually so parched for sleep, stuffed with mince pies and overflowing with vin chaud that I’m about to burst into a verse of ‘bah humbug’! If only everyone planned in advance and communicated with each other, it would mean that I would be invited to a lovely soiree every month of the year, rather than 12 in three weeks!
Well don’t despair, here’s a little Xmas magic cosmetics advise just for you amazing ladies that juggle more plates than a circus clown (especially at this time of year) to make you feel and look a lot better.
Don’t feel guilty, you’ve done so much for everyone else this year already, go and indulge yourself for an hour this afternoon and buy yourself a much deserved present.
The Xmas (Stay on Longer!) Look
A red lip makes you look very glam and works wonders to make you feel better if you’re a little tired by the time Christmas Day actually arrives!

As you’re going to be up at dawn to put the turkey in the oven and probably won’t stop all day, we suggest a long wear foundation to make your skin look dewy and fresh lasting until the end of Christmas night.
Mumii’s pick; Vitalumiere Aqua Skin Perfecting Makeup by Chanel, £33, Selfridges.com
Another great way to look groomed and in control is to have your eyeliner and brows perfectly drawn. This product really stays on for longer!

Finally, to make sure your hair is beautifully coiffured and stays in place for the day, use a normal hold hairspray so your hair still looks as if it’s au naturel!

So for all you frazzled fantastic women, now you can look gorgeous on the outside, even if you don’t feel it on the inside!
Good luck for Christmas Day!
