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.

I was drooling the minute I saw this compact last year and although I've tried a few things from this brand, this was the first time I'd bought from them.  It's the By Terry Limited Edition Twinkle Glow, CC Highlighter in 1 Candlelight Glow.

The powder inside is interesting, don't get me wrong, but it was the outer that appealed to me more. The highlighter isn't super intense like the one yesterday, but that's alright because I can see myself using this for daytime looks. I say that like I have a nightlife or indeed any kind of life where I wear makeup and leave the house. I literally sat and stared at my makeup last time I had to wear it because I'd forgotten what to do, it's been so long! Anyway, I thought I had swatch photos saved, but don't appear to, so I'll update this post once I take some.

Onto the compact or at least the lid, that's all I care about! Look how stunning this is. It's just beyond beautiful, made up of ruby and silver little studs or jewels. The textured finish means it catches the light beautifully. I've attached a video where the light moves, but it's much more impressive in person. The base of the compact is just gold plastic and there's a mirror inside the lid.
