Advent calendars are so great for parties. At my home, we hold a lucky dip and guests get to open a box based on the number picked. They get to keep their prizes, so everyone’s a winner. This year, I’m loving The Body Shop 24 Happy Days Advent Calendar ($189.90).

Eyeliner is a definite must-have in my makeup pouch – it helps to accentuate my peepers and enhances the intensity of my gaze. With Marc Jacobs Beauty Sky-Liner Highliner Collection ($70, Sephora), which offers seven shades with strong colour payoff , I can make a bold statement every day of the week.

I’m a sucker for items that are tried and tested. The Biotherm Aquasource Hydration Gift ($69) includes best-sellers like the iconic Aquasource Gel and Toner, which together with Biosource Hydrating Cleanser and Aquasource Nuit off er 500 hours of moisturising goodness – definitely something my parched skin needs. This, and a resolve to drink more water, is what my skin will thank me for!

I love having perfectly manicured tips, and the gorgeous hues in Ciate Paint Pots To Go in Boudoir & All A Glow ($22, Sephora) are just what I need to complete my festive outfits!

Year-end parties are the best time to dress up, so the Shiseido Festive Camellia ($120, Robinsons The Heeren) is just perfect. All six shades in this palette can be used as both blusher and eyeshadow, and the mix of soft and deep colours will take me from day to night.

Hand creams are a staple for me… I’ve got a tube at home, at the office and in my handbag! I’m stoked about the Kiehl’s Richly Hydrating Hand Cream Trio Set ($45), Innisfree Perfumed Hand Cream Gift Set ($17), Crabtree & Evelyn Memory Makers Trio Classic ($33) and The Face Shop Protect Me! Hand Cream Set ($24.90).

Oh, wow! The Ralph Lauren Fragrances Midnight Romance Holiday Set 1 ($149, Tangs at Tang Plaza) is a fruity fl oral – with raspberry, lychee, peony and freesia with black vanilla among other extracts – that will never be mistaken for a nineto-five scent. It is warm and sexy without being too strong. Wear it alone or turn up your femme factor by layering: shower gel, lotion and then a good spritz of fragrance. SANDRA CAMPBELL,
