Now that we have entered November, it's time to start focusing in on what beauty products we need for the upcoming party season. 

This year rather than focusing in on the lips, it's time for the eyes to shine and what better way to enhance them than with Max Factor’s new Excess Shimmer Eye Shadow.

The smart 3D silicone gel formula holds its high-impact metallic colour pigments for up to 12 hours so that you won’t have to worry about the colour fading.

The must-have gel shadows have an intense luminosity and smooth colour finish creating envious stares everywhere you go. The formula contains emollients that provide a silky smooth feel for easy application and blending and the high-impact colour pigments deliver sought after shine and intensity.

From muted mauves and cool bright blues to sepia shades and greys, there are endless glamour statements to play with and recreate using the Excess Shimmer Eye Shadows. The creamy gel is great for blending and creating depth; combine with the Excess Intensity Eyeliners for a really dramatic and defined look.

The new shimmer shadows are available in six different colours so you will no doubt find yourself mixing various shades together to create a whole new look.

For a daytime look, go for the more muted copper or bronze shade and crank things up a notch in the evening with the pink, crystal, pearl or onyx colours.

Made for women who want to achieve an on-trend metallic eye look without any hassle, these little tubs will become your go-to beauty essentials this winter.

Jennifer Lopez’s former husband Marc Anthony is getting married again – this month!

According to reports, the 46-year-old singer proposed to girlfriend Shannon De Lima all the way back in March and managed to keep it a complete secret from everyone.

We wonder if this included Jennifer…

The happy couple are set to walk down the aisle this month in the Dominican Republic.

Marc and the Venezuelan model began dating back in 2012, breaking up for a time in January 2013 before reconciling again.

Marc is father to Jennifer’s six-year-old twins Max and Emme and also to 20-year-old daughter Ariana with his ex-girlfriend Debbie Rosado.

Congrats to the happy couple on their happy news!

Oh God, our hearts! Our ovaries! Our everything!

The John Lewis Christmas ads are usually one of the highlights of the festive season and this is no exception.

It may be the best thing about Christmas 2014 – even better than the magical Burberry ad.

This year's song is a beautiful cover of John Lennon’s Real Love by Tom Odell.

We love Christmas!

When National Geographic photographer Aaron Huey posted an image of his son Hawkeye on his Instagram account, he had no idea what would happen.

The picture showed Hawkeye wearing goggles in a sandstorm, clutching his Fuji Instax 210 camera and looking into distance for something to take a picture of, resulting in many calls for Aaron to post his son’s work.

Rather than post on his own account, Aaron set up a brand new Instagram account for the four-year-old, where he now has more than 36,000 followers.

Aaron comes up with special assignments for his son, which included a visit to a squatters camp in southern California; a place where “circus kids, vagabonds, travelers of all kinds” live.

“It was great for Hawkeye to meet these people and see another way of living,” Huey said.

Instant photography is pricey, but Aaron says spending the money on real film for Hawkeye is important."It turns each photo into a genuine interaction, into a conversation. Everyone is smiling when Hawkeye walks away.”

Hmph, we guess our Mammy was too busy wailing about the cost of us leaving the immersion on to buy us a Polaroid camera then…

Gives a whole to meaning to the term 'road rage'.

A fight over a parking spot in shopping centre ended in madness after a male driver completely lost his mind.

After a loud, furious fight over the space, the man hops back into his car to drive off – but then changes his mind and does something completely different.

Watch what happens above.

Kylie is now being sued by one of the drivers involved in the three-car pileup she caused back in August 2013.

The accident happened just 18 days after Kylie's 16th birthday when Kylie rear-ended a stopped Toyota with her Mercedes, which then rolled forward and collided with another car.

The woman driving the third car is now suing Kylie for back and neck injuries.

Things aren’t looking good for the youngest member of the Kardashian family, who has had numerous other mishaps during the past year. Kylie was involved in another crash while driving a Range Rover and even managed to find herself issued with tickets during just one day.

On top of this legal headache, she’s also going to have to deal with her mother’s wrath as Kris is also being sued over the accident. The plaintiff is claiming the car was registered under Kris' name and has listed the 59-year-old as a defendant.

Kylie, who is also infamous for posting pictures and videos while driving, really is in big trouble. Could the Jenner sister have her licence taken away? We really wouldn’t be surprised.

It looks like Britney has a new man.

The Toxic singer is reportedly back in the dating game and romancing producer and writer Charlie Ebersol.

A source told E! News: “It’s just the beginning so no idea if it will become serious, but right now they are having a lot of fun together.”

“They are both very happy and having fun,” they added.

Charlie, who is best known for his TV series The Moment, also received high praise from the source, who described him as “the sweetest guy ever”.

It sounds like this guy is a keeper!

Britney has apparently been single since splitting from her fiancé Jason Trawick earlier this year.

The singer announced that she had split from her boyfriend of two years in a statement, in which she said: “Jason and I have decided to call off our engagement. I’ll always adore him and we will remain great friends.”

Jason, who was also Britney’s manager at one stage, added: “As this chapter ends for us, a new one begins. I love and cherish her and her boys, and we will be close forever.”

We think Britney and Charlie will make a very cute couple!

When Tara Reid followed the trend of snapping her Halloween preparations for Instagram, she probably didn’t expect this reaction from the public.

The Sharknado actress sparked concern among her fans after posting a photo of herself wearing just underwear, with the caption: “Starting to get dressed for my costume.”

She quickly deleted the snap after fans immediately began criticising her thigh gap and posting their concern for her.

Tara later shared another selfie of her flapper costume, which highlighted her teeny frame.

Snaps throughout the night showed Tara having lots of fun with Kelly Osbourne and friends at a Halloween party, but things took a turn after she was snapped falling out of a club later that night, unable to stand.

Tara has previously spoken about her body issues, her battle with anorexia and her traumatic experiences with plastic surgery, and while we would never condone criticising another woman’s body, we really do hope she’s taking proper care of herself.

We're looking forward to hearing her reaction to this.

Last night was taken over by the 2014 Country Music Awards, but there was one incredibly familiar face missing – Taylor Swift.

Taylor has made no secret of the fact she's done with country music and now wants to be a fully fledged pop star, highlighting her desire several times during recent interviews.

Well it seems that Nashville aren't going to take this lying down.

Country music stars Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley devoted much of their opening monologue to T-Swizzle's abandonment of her country roots – the country roots that made her the star she is today. And while it was all done in good fun, it's pretty obvious that there are some unfriendly feelings towards the newly-crowned pop princess.

The hosts took a page out of Taylor's own book and after many jokes regarding PPTSD (Post Partum Taylor Swift Disorder) composed a song about the new pop star and her break-up with Nashville.

 After Carrie and Brad said they were "just going to have to Shake It Off,” Taylor's fan didn't feel quite the same way, with many taking to Twitter to criticise the CMAs and defend their beloved musician.

Taylor's infamous for always having the last word in every confrontation – will this get a song on the next album?

Halloween is well and truly over, so now we can finally get into the Christmas spirit. And what better way than a trip to one of the many gorgeous markets dotted all over Europe.

Pick up a few trinkets, have a stroll around the town a glass of eggnog – or probably an Irish whiskey – in hand, and enjoy a few drinks in the snow as you soak up the atmosphere.

Stuck for ideas? Here are our top five markets to hit this winter.

Berlin, Germany

The home of the Christmas market, and delicious craft beer, Berlin is your one stop shop for everything festive. You should be able to pick up a fairly cheap Ryanair flight to the capital – or more likely just outside the city – but it will be worth it. You will find stalls selling scrumptious food, gorgeous jewellery and traditional festive decorations.

Brussels, Belgium

The Brussels Christmas market, Brussels' Winter Wonders, is only a quick flight away and is definitely a good contender if you don’t want to stray too far from home. Pick up a few pressies and enjoy live animations at the same time.

Lille, France

This little market will has plenty of food stalls, decorations, arts and crafts and the impressive Ferris Wheel located on the main square. Adding to the magic is the giant Christmas tree that is the main focus of the market.

Copenhagen, Denmark

Located at Tivoli Gardens, the Hans Christian Andersen Christmas fair will have you feeling like you just stepped into a fairytale.  Walk among the stalls which will be covered in hundreds of lights takeaway cup of hot chocolate in hand.

Galway Continental Market

Can’t afford to shop and pay for flights? Don’t worry, the Galway Christmas market is actually pretty incredible. Starting on Friday, 21st November, you can enjoy the live entertainment, drink German beers from the German Bierkeller and pick up a few pressies. We’re hoping for snow this year to make it that extra bit special.
