BEAUTY:Starry stocking ideas

Sunday Mirror, Dec 15, 2002 by Madeline Crisp, Lynne Michelle

Wild like Kelly?

l Like Ms Osbourne, you find Christmas such a drag (or you pretend to, just to keep up the rebel image)...

l Still, you won't say no to a few sweeteners from your rock star boyfriend.

l With your love of all things shocking, your beauty wish list will be as bold as you are.

You enjoy stirring things up, so you'll go wild for Fudge Paintbox Coloured Hair Creme in Duco Pink, pounds 5.95, guaranteed to grab Gran's attention. There's nothing subtle about your eye make-up either, so tell your bad boy to bag you BeneFit BAD Gal Eye Pencil, pounds 12.50, and Rimmel Eye Glosses in Gossips and Equinox, pounds 3.49 each. If you're feeling particularly outrageous you'll appreciate MAC False Lashes in Pink, pounds 7. Your lips and nails are dramatic too, so kitsch treats like Eyeko T-Gloss in Iridescent Plum, pounds 7.95 and Creative Nail Enamel in Rebel With A Cause, pounds 8.50, will get a thumbs-up rather than the finger. Finally, some party essentials - how about traffic-stopping Lancaster Luminizer Celebration Neon Palette in Hypnotic Pink, pounds 20, and Multiplicity Glosser Shine Serum, pounds 10.95? Add a spritz of Dior Addict Eau de Parfum, pounds 39 to mask that tequila.

Girly like Reese?

l Taking your cue from Reese Witherspoon, you're gorgeously girly and want a stocking full of goodies in any colour - so long as it's pink!

l You love 50s glamour and boudoir dressing like America's sweetheart.

l Your dream accessory would be a pair of Agent Provocateur fluffy mules.

You adore pin-up style pampering, so fill your man in on your idea of heaven - soaking in Vivienne Westwood Boudoir Bathing Balm, pounds 24, followed by oodles of BeneFit Bathina Body So Fine Velvet Body Balm, pounds 22, for sex- kitten soft skin. Your make-up look is sweet and sugar-coated, so you'll be tickled pink if your man presents you with Bloom's Party Pack Basics Tin, pounds 24.50, MAC Pigment in Pink Pearl, pounds 15, and All Over Gloss in Frost Warming, pounds 12, and Pupa L'Azur Mini Angel Cream Lip Gloss, pounds 5.95. The icing on the cake would be a dusting of Boots Starlet Shimmer Powder, pounds 10.50, and Starlet Nail Polish in Putting On The Ritz, pounds 4.73. And if he's stuck for stocking fillers, Skirt Polka Dot Spray Mist, pounds 16, and Chanel Pearl Face Effects in Surprises, pounds 28, would make him your prom king.

Glam like Catherine?

l You won't find Catherine Zeta Jones looking anything less than perfect, and it's the same with you. Looking good is a serious business - so you're always super-groomed.

l You like luxurious treats that promise to keep you looking every inch the glamour girl.

l Your man needs to pay you lots of attention if he wants to stay around for New Year.

Forget surgery and stick a few skin care shortcuts on your list, like Olay Total Effects Intensive Restoration Treatment, pounds 19.50, and Gale Hayman Eye-Lift Gel, pounds 17.50. You're no bare- faced babe and you want nothing but the best, so you'll love Chanel Vitalumiere Satin Smoothing Creme Make- up, pounds 25, which will look as chic on your dressing table as on your skin. You keep your look sophisticated but simple - a slick of vampy nail colour like Creative Nail Enamel in Spoiled, pounds 8.50, plenty of dramatic black No7 Luxurious Lash Mascara, pounds 8.50, and a dash of No7 Ultimate Lipstick in Vanity, pounds 6.85. Finally for touch-ups, you'll want the Models 1 Look Book in Uptown Girl, pounds 25 and some Gucci Eau de Parfum, pounds 26 in your clutch.

Bling like Jen?

l Like our Jenny from the block, you're a disco diva for whom nothing is too OTT.

l You see Christmas as a great excuse to get into all that glitters.

l Your beauty bag motto is: if it ain't got bling, it ain't going in.

However much you make, you'll feel a million dollars when you step in the shower with J.Lo Glow Shower Gel, pounds 12, followed by Versace Hydrating Body Skincare, pounds 32.50. Make-up is your secret weapon so you'll be delighted to unwrap Gale Hayman Primer for Eyes and Lips, pounds 15. Idol-eyes demand colour, so put in a request for Boots 17 Metallic Shadows in Latino Lover and Viva Diva, pounds 3.75 each, topped off with Too Faced Electric Lash in Shock, pounds 16. Marks & Spencer Enhance Shimmer Powder, pounds 10, and Versace 2000 Lights on Lips in Gold, pounds 14, will add a starry touch, while Toni & Guy Insights Added Shine Wax, pounds 4.99, will give your hair a superstar gleam. Finally, get bling-bling fingers that drip gold courtesy of Estee Lauder Pure Colour Crystal Nail Lacquer in Ginger Fizz, pounds 10.
