A much shorter read today for Festive Beauty after my colossal Too Faced 2019 gingerbread collection yesterday. My Irregular Choice Festive Footwear will be up later, yesterday I kept it gingerbread themed with Ginger's House ankle boots. As usual, read to the bottom for a little treat.

A mammoth post to get through today (almost 70 photos), so it's taken ages to compile it all. I wanted to group them together though as they're all from the same collection.  My previous Festive Beauty post was the Dior highlighter from their 2013 Golden Winter collection and my Irregular Choice Festive Footwear post will be up later. As usual, check the bottom of the post for a little treat.

Yesterday I went back to 2011 for the MAC Glitter & Ice Collection, today I have a beautiful highlighter from a brand I always rely on to come up with beautiful festive pieces. My Irregular Choice Festive Footwear post is up on The Shoe Girl Diaries and remember the discount code or treat at the bottom of each post.

I'm going to continue my Festive Beauty posts until the end of the month seeing as I intended to do 24 (until Christmas), but missed some last week. My last post was the Laneige skincare set from their 2021 Dream Land Collection and today I have an old MAC holiday launch. I think I told you about these photos previously, that I took them, then later that day thought the packaging seemed familiar in lipstick form (I'd only photographed glosses). I quickly found the lipstick and had to retake them to include that! Group shots of anything will be the death of me! My Irregular Choice Festive Footwear will be up later and I have my final advent calendar reveals too, which I'll hopefully get up here tomorrow.

My Irregular Choice Festive Footwear post is already up over on The Shoe Girl Diaries, featuring my first ever IC Christmas shoes. Yesterday here, you missed the No7 Mirrorball Collection from 2010 and today I have a current festive item to share.

I'm back with another Festive Beauty post, sorry for the long gap, I've been exhausted and needed a break. I've also been getting very frustrated as we haven't had daylight at all this week, not even an hour, so I can't take any photos. Anyway, my limited edition pieces today date back to 2010 and as always read to the bottom for an online treat. My Irregular Choice Festive Footwear post will be up later, but I did post a new one this morning of the original Santa heels (I was a day behind on there).

Apologies for the no-post yesterday, I was struggling to keep up and wanted to get that advent blog up. Today, I'm heading back to 2007, so it's a proper "Flashback Beauty Friday". My last Festive Beauty was of the beautiful new Dolce & Gabbana Christmas collection, so definitely check that out if you missed it. I'm behind with The Shoe Girl Diaries, Irregular Choice Festive Footwear, but I'll try to get done what I can.

Beauty Advent Calendars 2021: Paul & Joe and Barry M Part 2

Here's my second part of the advent calendar reveals (you can find Part 1 here), days 9-16 for Paul & Joe and as I'm opening the Barry M one every second day (it's a 12 day advent), days 5-8. We'll begin with the Paul & Joe Makeup Collection 2021, Day 9, which were these adorable cat shaped hair clips. They have Paul & Joe written on one side and cat whiskers on the other. I was really excited to get these as it's quite a unique item, something that isn't sold separately here.

Something brand new for you today, but if you missed yesterday, it was a lovely little cat print set from Paul & Joe in 2017. My Irregular Choice Festive Footwear post will (hopefully, my head is pounding) be up later on The Shoe Girl Diaries and as always, check the bottom of the post for a little treat.

Like my Irregular Choice Festive Footwear post today, I have quite a lot to get through, so will get on with it. Read to the bottom for a little treat and here's my Clarins 2018 limited edition collection post from yesterday if you missed it.

We're more than halfway through my Festive Beauty series now and I'm almost ruing the day I decided to do it, almost! No, really I enjoy blogging and makeup and shoes are things I obviously like talking about, but I do wish I'd been more prepared, because I'm struggling to keep up every day. My own fault for not starting in October! I did want to alert you that I've updated the Paul & Joe cream eyeshadow swatch from the advent calendar post. I know I mentioned yesterday the other bits I also have to update, but it's been a one-thing-at-a-time kind of day. So that's done. If you missed my blog post here yesterday it was...ooh, the No7 star highlighter, very pretty. My Irregular Choice Festive Footwear I've yet to post, but yesterday was the new Chilly Chimney Clutch Bag. As always, a treat at the end of the post.

I've definitely bitten off more than I can chew with my post today and it's going to take more than a day to organise the photos, so I've abandoned that to bring you a quick one. Yesterday I shared my By Terry highlighter from 2020 and I managed to take swatches of that today, so will update that post soon. Likewise the cream eyeshadow in the advent calendar...and there was something else, oh the unused MAC Shiny Pretty Things, yep that'll get updated too.  My Irregular Choice Festive Footwear will be up later on The Shoe Girl Diaries and remember to read to the bottom of the post for a little treat.

Festive Beauty: Day 11

You'll never guess what I found today? Photos of the highlighter and eyeshadows in my last post (MAC Shiny Pretty Things) before I used them! I knew I was well enough trained not to just dig into something without a photo first!! Typical I find it the day after though, much like my group shots when I forget something, which coincidentally I also did yesterday.  Not for that post, but anyway, I'll update the photos when I get time, but first I'm bringing you yet another flashback festive item.  This time, it's just from last year and let me tell you, this one is ALL about the packaging. Remember your treat at the bottom of the post and my Irregular Choice Festive Footwear will be up later tonight on The Shoe Girl Diaries.

Festive Beauty: Day 10

Today I have some bits from an old MAC Holiday Collection to share and as always read to the bottom of the post for a little treat. I had a beautifully embossed Lancôme eyeshadow yesterday if you missed it and my Irregular Choice Festive Footwear is already up on The Shoe Girl Diaries.

Beauty Advent Calendars 2021: Paul & Joe and Barry M Part 1

I said I would probably keep you updated on the Paul & Joe Makeup Collection 2021 (or advent calendar) as I opened it.  So here's my first part, days 1-8, I'm super impressed already.  Much like the last one I bought in 2019, there's been a mix of their makeup and skincare so far and something utterly adorable!  I also bought another beauty advent during Cyber Monday.  After including it in my list of 20 beauty advent calendars on the blog, back in October, I've been thinking I'd rather like it.  So read on for that too.   

Festive Beauty: Day 9

Quick post tonight as I'm in the midst of working on another (longer) post for the blog as well as my usual Irregular Choice Festive Footwear over on The Shoe Girl Diaries. Who is this 3 blogs a day person? Actually by last month I'd noticed I'd blogged here more in 2021 than I had in 2020 and 2019 together! Anyway the item today you may have already spied in my series banner above and as always read to the end of the post for a special offer.  Oh and catch up with my Dior Diorific nail polishes over the years, if you missed that yesterday.

Yesterday we took a look at the Northern Lights inspired 2012 collection by YSL and today I have a very strange looking lipgloss from last year. Remember to read to the bottom of the post for my online offer and I've already posted my Irregular Choice Festive Footwear over on The Shoe Girl Diaries.

Day 6 of Festive Beauty takes us to 2012 and the wonderful Northern Lights collection by Yves Saint Laurent. Check the bottom of the post for my little treat and yesterday I shared the No7 Jewelled Eyes palette. My Irregular Choice Festive Footwear post on The Shoe Girl Diaries will follow later.

Day 5 of Festive Beauty and we're heading back to 2009. If you missed my post yesterday, I compared the new Too Faced Cinnamon Bun Melted Matte to previous shades and over on The Shoe Girl Diaries today, there's a double post (well technically triple, but I'm counting it as 2) to make up for not posting yesterday. As always, there's a little treat the bottom of each post.

Festive Beauty: Day 4

I'm on my 4th day of a migraine, so I apologise that these posts have been published so late and today there's no Irregular Choice Festive Footwear on The Shoe Girl Diaries as I'm planning a double post tomorrow and just can't stare at a screen any longer today or I'll be sick. I still have a beauty treat at the bottom of this post and multiple seasonal pieces including a current one to share today. Yesterday if you missed it, was the lovely 2012 Paul & Joe makeup collection.

Festive Beauty: Day 3

Yesterday I shared a lipstick from the Nars 2019, Studio 54 collection and today I'm going back a bit further with a beautiful unicorn themed set for Festive Beauty. Be sure to read to the bottom of the post for a special treat and also head over to The Shoe Girl Diaries where I'm sharing my Irregular Choice bauble collection today.

Day 2 of Festive Beauty isn't travelling back as far as the Lancôme JT charm bracelet yesterday. Remember to head over to The Shoe Girl Diaries for my daily Irregular Choice festive offering and read down to the bottom of this post for a little beauty treat.

Festive Beauty: Day 1

I thought I'd do something special on the blog in the run up to Christmas, so will be posting daily beauty items, a bit like Flashback Beauty Friday but with a festive twist. I've already shown you several "holiday" pieces in those posts over the past year, but these posts will be exclusively limited edition, Christmas launches both old and new (and not ones I've previously shown on FBF). I'm pretty confident I have enough stuff...surely?! As you can tell, I've not been very organised with this, so in order to keep up, I'll probably not be going into great detail and will try not to stress myself if the photos don't turn out well. I'm going to post Irregular Choice Christmassy themed things (mainly shoes, but bags and accessories too) over on The Shoe Girl Diaries daily, so be sure to check that out too. Last thing, I'm going to include a treat (a discount code, free gift or online offer) every day that you can take advantage of (I'll aim to keep it beauty related here), so read to the bottom of the post for that.

Flashback Beauty Friday 52: Paul & Joe Face & Eye Color Spring 2017

Post does not contain affiliate links or PR gifted items.

Ooh, a bit of a treat today, not going back too far, but I couldn't resist showing this very pretty piece. Last week it was bunnies (Playboy Liquid Lipstick and Lipgloss), this week it's a much more demure cat!
