“But have your eye-lashes always been so long?” recently queried a befuddled old flame, “So strange that I never really noticed them before.” “I guess I am just lucky,” retorted yours truly, with a luxurious sweep of my lengthy lashes. But he was right – something had changed. I’d made a discovery that has transformed my sometimes spidery lashes into voluminous weapons of massive drama!

Check out Max Factor’s False Lash Effect mascara, boasting their biggest-ever, bristle-laden brush to guarantee extreme volume from root to tip. What’s truly great about this product is that you get luscious, long, perfectly defined lashes – without any clumping – that last all day long. With the festive spell approaching at a speed that is almost as frightening as my make-up free eyes, this magical mascara will grant you the glamour you need to go from the office to post-work Christmas catch-ups. At €14.99, it’s a must-have in every clutch bag this party season. Available in all good chemists and department stores.
