It's a well known fact, well at least in my mind that December is the season of glitter - sparkling clothing, dazzling shoes and glistening make up launches. Forget gaudy, difficult to apply, let alone wear make up launches and save your money for the Bourjois Night Lights in Paris Collection - a line up of refined, classic yet glitter based eyeshadows and nail colours, coupled with classic red lips and a shimmering setting powder. It is old school glamour at its best.

Excuse the horrid, glitter based pun but the real stars of this collection is the two new Smoky Stories Quads - two mini palettes that feature, sparkling, glitter and matte based eyeshadows that are a dream to apply and wear. First up we have Bourjois Grey-zy in Love, four cool toned shimmer and glitter based eyeshadows: two pale silver hues, coupled with a gold and navy blue - all you need to create a subtle or full on smoky eye. If you prefer deeper, intense shades there is Bourjois Smoky Stories Quad in Welcome Black with a glitter based navy blue, olive green and light gold assortment, completed with a velvety, soft matte black eyeshadow. Both palettes are beautifully pigmented, non-gritty and teamed with a primer, long wearing. At just £7.99 a palette they are an utter steal - perfect for the festive season and beyond.
