A bit of a special find this week, but first, if you are new to Flashback Beauty Friday, welcome. These posts are a trip down memory lane, looking back at older beauty products and their packaging, especially limited edition pieces, for a little reminisce. Last week, I wrote about the Bourjois Eau De Gloss lipglosses and today, I definitely have my oldest beauty item to show you.

40th Birthday Shoes: Midnight 00

You may remember my post last year regarding my birthday shoe buying tradition and how because it was my 40th, I upped my usual treat to 4 pairs. I tried to buy one each quarter, not only to spread the cost, but it was exciting to have something to look forward to each season. The Dolce & Gabbana mules I showed you last time were my replacement second pair, after my initial choice (Kat Maconie 'Aya') had to be returned because I couldn't get my foot into them. Today I finally have the first pair to show you. I didn't actually take 'proper' pics at the time (i.e. intended for blogging), so I've just scrambled together some photos I have. They're not great and a bit jumbled (taken on two different days) but I just wanted to get them up rather than continuing not in the order I bought them.  I'll get round to doing a proper fit review on The Shoe Girl Diaries at some point with better photos (I've been blogging there every week lately, so there's lots of new reviews up there just now), I just quickly snapped these on my feet with whatever I was wearing that day, so apologies for that.

Flashback Beauty Friday is a chance to reminisce with a look back at old limited edition or discontinued beauty products and their packaging. Last week I posted MAC's Bite Of An Apple Blush from their Disney Villains release and today I have a limited edition powder from Yves Saint Laurent, which seemed apt for Valentine's.

Flashback Beauty Friday is a nostalgic look back at old limited edition or discontinued beauty products, to appreciate their packaging and have a little reminisce. Last week I shared a small selection of my specially designed LancĂ´me Juicy Tubes collection by Christopher Kane. Today I have a MAC blusher from one of their Disney releases.
