TOP FIVE BEAUTY PRODUCTS FOR SEDUCTION

A few beauty products to get you prepped for your Valentine's night out....

Xen-Tan Transform Luxe, £24.99 (236ml)
http://www.xen-tan.co.uk/

There's something really sexy about tanned skin, isn't there? My new favourite tanning product is Xen-Tan Transformation Daily Self Tan. As well as kissing your skin with a natural olive tone, it's crammed with ingredients such as Shea Butter and Vitamin E to keep skin soft;  this helps the colour to go on evenly - without build-up on dry areas. The smell on application is delicious - sweet vanilla - although it does fade to a very slight fake-tan smell after a while, still much less so than most tans, but probably worth applying the night before and showering before your big night out!

Ardell lases are available from Boots and

It's thought that eyes are the window to the soul... So they need to be framed to catch your mate's attention. Undeniably long lashes are the best way to do this. The important thing is to ensure that lashes look natural. ARDELL lashes are amazing at this. Whether you need a few individual lashes to create a little extra length and volume, or a pair of strip lashes to create drama - they have something for you. I recently trialled the ARDELL fashion lashes 105. They are insane! My eyes looked like a doll's... I want to wear them everyday.

EllaPure Sexy Rollerball, £5
http://www.ellapure.co.uk/

Organic healthy and beauty company, EllaPure has the perfect answer for ladies looking to turn their man on this Valentine’s Day with its ‘Sexy’ range . EllaPure Sexy Rollerball contains Patchouli, Mandarin & Ylang Ylang to give your body an extra boost of energy and a euphoric feeling. The aphrodisiac properties will also help with nervous tension, irritability and emotional guilt, apparently. The oil should be applied directly to pulse points to gain rapid entry into your blood stream.It's really small, so easily popped into a handbag...

NUBAR nail varnish - Seduction

Nubar is an eco-friendly nail brand. For Valentines, they've created a 'Risque Reds' collection which has four sexy shades of red. I particularly like the 'Seduction' shade. I always apply OPI top coat over nail varnish, to leave it chip-free as long as possible.

Estee Lauder High Gloss, in Flamingo £14.50
http://www.esteelauder.co.uk/

Finally, a Valentine's look wouldn't be complete without a slathering of lip gloss. I LOVE the Estee Lauder High Gloss. It's super-moisturising and the gloss stays put for ages. It tastes delicious too. As soon as I'm wearing it, my look is complete!

TOP FIVE PARTY LASHES

I do wonder why it took fake lashes so long to become a beauty essential. Twiggy was rocking fake lashes in the sixties, and looked fabulous, but it's only in the past five years that they've become a glam night out essential.  As it's party-season, I've put together my top five party lashes...

 Smoke & Shadows, £5.95
http://www.eylure.com/



I do love Eylure lashes, and for the party season, the Smoke & Shadows lashes are just what you need. They make your lashes looks long and full, but not fake. I love wearing these lashes with a dark smoky eye. Eylure's Girls Aloud Party lashes in 'Cheryl' are quite similar to these, but have a glittery shimmer, for extra festive sparkle. Bellisimo!

Beauty Grooves Lashes, £3.79
Superdrug



Once you start wearing false lases, you often feel naked without them! The problem is, if you develop a habit, it can be an expensive one. Beauty Grooves lashes are a great budget alternative. This cute pair of lashes add great length and has a decorative pink detail in the corner. At just £3.79 they're a lash-addict's dream.

La La Lashes in Dazzle, £7.95
www.lalalashes.co.uk

Transform your look for the party with La La Lashes in Dazzle - these shimmering lashes glitter in the light and add that festive touch of sparkle. These lashes are really easy to apply to - perfect for a glamourous look in double-quick time. They're likely to last you for a few wears too!



Jemma Kidd I-Glamour Corner Lashes Duo, £17.00
http://www.qvcuk.com/



For a sophisticated fake-lash try from Jemma Kidd I-Glamour lashes. Apply to the corner lashes to elongate them. You'll create a natural-looking lash length that will have people guessing whether you're wearing falsies or not!

Illamasqua Handmade Lashes (026), £17.50

www.selfridges.com

For maximum impact lashes, try Illamasqua in style 026. This fluttery lash set is as attention-seeking as your average peacock, but who cares!! If you've got little eyes, I'd steer clear of these though, as I think you need quite doey eyes to pull them off. 

What are your faves?
