Today we are talking about one of my very favourite subjects, makeup. For some women its handbags or shoes, for me it’s makeup. As it’s now November, officially winter and officially nearly Christmas  (Oh come on the christmas adverts are on, I’m allowed to talk about it now) I thought it would be a good time to talk glitter makeup and all that sparkles. I have invited Jenn Edwards, our resident makeup expert onto the blog, to talk to us about her favourite sparkly makeup products and what we need in our make up bags this season. Personally I am a sucker for a lip gloss, so I’m off to buy the Jouer cosmetics lip Topper in rose gold, unless anyone fancies popping it in my stocking for Christmas!
