December Favourites

Welcome to my final monthly favourites for 2016!

When it comes to my New Year's Eve look, I like to wrap up the year by going all out in style with glitter, shimmer, fluttery lashes and you can't forget the bold statement lip. So in order to absolutely nail your look, I have put together 5 makeup items that I think are the epitome of of a New Year's Eve party look, so all you'd need to top it off is a dazzling sequin dress.
