The season's new catwalk colours are, in case you were wondering, amethyst, plum, grey, gold, bronze and khaki - all of which feature in the fabulous new Glamorous Affair Collection by red earth. We're loving the Ultra Luminous Eyeshadow Palettes (Dhs 109) containing five gorgeous shades and presented in a shiny little box with a special, uber cute velvet sleeve - perfect for a birthday or Crimbo pressie! Even sweeter are the step by step instructions inside, showing how to blend the colours together for maximum catwalk effect.

The Illuminating Fluid Blush (Dhs 55) is a high-shimmer, multi-dimensional affair that your cheeks will look naked without, from this point forth! The sensual rose colour is truly gorgeous and the nifty rollerball top makes it dead easy to apply and relatively mess-free. Always a bonus for a girl on the move.

Another handy tool for the handbag is the Colour and Gloss Lip Duo (Dhs 65), which comes as a coloured creamy lip lacquer at one end, and transparent tinted gloss at the other. Both contain Macadamia nut oil and Vitamin E for soft and snoggable lips. Bliss!

If you've been looking for the perfect powder, red earth has got it sussed, too. The Silky Lightweight Compact Powder (Dhs 95) contains a powder, brush and mirror and ensures a silky, even, non-powdery finish.

Best add this lot to your Christmas lists, ladies - if your make up bags can wait that long!
