Be in demand this festive season with these delicious products to keep you sparkling all month long – no matter how many last minute party invites land in your inbox.

Turn up the glamour this Christmas with smoky metallic eyes or vampy 40s inspired lips. For subtle glamour on the move, we love L’Oréal Paris Star Secrets Palettes, £12.99, www.lorealparis.co.uk. Designed specially to suit your hair colour, the sleek compacts contain blush, lipstick and a trio of eye shadows that are really easy to use, so you can get glam on the move. Pop it in your desk drawer with a non-crease party top for instant chic at a moment’s notice.

Looking for something more dramatic? Vamp up your eyes with a metallic sheen. For a smouldering, gothic edge in a snap, go for the Body Shop’s fabulous new Shimmer Smudger in Burnished Metal or Etched Brown, £9, www.thebodyshop.co.uk.

Or for a sultry glittering look, we can’t get enough of the startlingly stunning midnight blue Jemma Kidd Crushed Jewel Crème Duo in lolite, £12.00, jemmakidd.com. Apply it all over the eye for a jewel encrusted look or use it to line your eye for a flash of colour. For maximum impact, line lashes with Jemma Kidd Crushed Gel Liner in Lapis, £9.50. It’s a sparkling electric blue glitter liner for precision lining.

Too bright? Try Laura Geller’s Baked Marble Eyeshadow Duo in Blue Heaven and Moonstone Lilac, £16.75, www.qvcuk.com, for a radiant shimmery glow.

Want the most kissable lips under the mistletoe? For a sultry come-hither pucker, try Precious Rouge Lip Colour in Opulent Rose by the Body Shop, £9, www.thebodyshop.co.uk. They have a diamond-shaped bullet applicator for minimum fuss, or for a super modern edge apply with your finger. Just make sure you play up either your eyes or your lips – not both!

The rest of your face should be simple, with fresh minimal coverage, but with a subtle shimmer. A fabulous bet is Susan Posnick’s Colorflo Shimmer, £44.95, www.susanposnick.co.uk. It’s a self-dispensing mineral brush with only natural ingredients and a sophisticated shimmer, so it’s gentle and makes your skin look really healthy, even and glowing.

Keep hair gorgeously shiny with a sneaky Christmas gift to yourself. Charles Worthington Dream Hair Vanity Case, £20, www.charlesworthington.com, available from Boots is a luxurious boudoir accessory including Dream Hair Radiant Shine Shampoo and Conditioner and Divine Shine Finishing Spray to make your locks luscious and smell addictively sweet. Like organic products? Then you’ll love Figs and Rouge Sweet Geranium Hair Shampoo and Conditioner, £6.95 each, at www.victoriahealth.com. The’re completely natural and organic and smell delicious.

Then glam it up with Puffer Fish Volumising Root Spray by Angel Fish, £4.99, www.angelfishsoho.com, for pumped up and flickable party tresses. It keeps your hair really big and sexy for ages, but without taking away the shine or making it stiff. To look polished, blow dry hair in small sections with a large round brush, lifting hair away from the root to achieve maximum volume. If you’re going for a more messy, dishevelled look, simply rough dry hair using your fingers, lifting hair at the root as you dry. For super-glam lift, add some Velcro rollers.

Want nails that demand attention? Go for gleaming blues or purples - try a sparkly midnight look with Indigo by Zoya, £8.95, www.zoyapolish.co.uk. If you’re more vampy and vintage, go for hot pink Nice by Mavala, £3.60, www.mavala.co.uk – it looks luscious and Amy Winehouse has been spotted stocking up on it.

For skin that screams Hollywood luxury, have a pre-party Environ Active Vitamin Facial, around £70, www.vitaminskincare.eu, with re-hydrating vitamin A and C and low frequency sound waves. It’s a favourite of stars like Hilary Swank, Teri Hatcher and Gray’s Anatomy leading lady Ellen Pompeo. Or for a delicious facial treat at home, the hot new Hydrating B5 Mask by SkinCeuticals, £47.00/75ml, www.skinceuticals.co.uk, is a must for dry, stressed skin, leaving your skin radiant, healthy and smooth.

Get into the festive spirit with some luxurious pre-party pampering. We love 100% Pure Organic Vanilla Bean Foaming Shower Gel, £14.00, at www.victoriahealth.com, made with intoxicating organic Tahitian Vanilla, skin hydrating Honey and antioxidant rich Green Coffee.
