Fittingly, for the festive season Dior have gone all out with sparkles and spangles, but they're SOPHISTICATED spangles, ladies - are you hearing me? Needless to say, I oohed and ahhed like a good one over the lot and far from sniffily turning my nose up at the multitude of shine and shimmer, I fell for it hook, line and sinker.
I'd pretty much decided that post-30, glitter was O.U.T (channeling Daniel Chavez there, wha?) but I'm seriously wavering. Ok, not wavering. WEARING.
Ah feck it, rules were meant to be broken. So what's what? Above you can see the two Cristal Boréal Crystal Eyeshadows in Silver Gem and Purple Gem. Now, at €30, they are undeniably pricey. They're also undeniably nice. I do love a Dior shadow, the pan is quite a good size and the bling-factor is truly most excellent. Joining the sparkly pair is Dior Vernis Long-Wearing Nail Lacquer Silver Purple, €21.50.

You'll know I'm a sucker for Dior's quintet palettes and this one is the velvety-smooth and shimmering Cristal Boréal Crystal Eyeshadow, €30, in Silver Gem. It's joined by the star of the show, Cristal Boreal, a Swarovski crystal studded bit of frippery you wear as a pendant. Like yesterdays fragrance rings, this baby hides a sheer, glittering gloss that comes in two shades, Pure Crystal and Pink Crystal. Each is €79.
