In the run up to Christmas, I've been blogging beauty releases from Christmas collections past and present. Last time, I shared the star embossed blush from Kiko's 2022, Joyful Holiday collection. There's an online offer at the bottom of each post as a little treat and over on The Shoe Girl Diaries I'm sharing my Irregular Choice Christmas shoes.

I realise I'm several posts behind, I knew it would happen. I have such good intentions, but clearly am unrealistic about what I can manage! Anyway, last time I shared the current season Dior Vernis including the top coat. I still haven't had the chance to do my nails, I've broken almost all of them over the past few weeks and keep meaning to do them, but never have time. Today I have another current season item, because my Kiko order from November arrived yesterday! It's taken nearly a month, but 'tis the season for strikes and delays in 2022. Remember to check the bottom of each post for a little online treat and head over to The Shoe Girl Diaries where I'm blogging Irregular Choice festive shoes.

There's less than a week until Christmas and every day I'll be blogging beauty products from past and present Holiday collections. Yesterday was the Dolce & Gabbana lipgloss I finally got my hands on, from 2021 and today I have some things from a current collection. Over on The Shoe Girl Diaries I'm sharing my Irregular Choice Christmas shoes and at the bottom of every post there's a little online treat.

I've bought almost the entire Dior colour collection this year (well, I pretty much do every year actually). Last year I shared my Diorific nail polishes that I've collected from Holiday collections over the years, as that's the format they tend to come in. Weirdly however, this year, the nail colours are in regular Dior Vernis packaging. The overall colour theme is midnight blue and gold with stars, so the silver topped bottles are a bit out of place with no reference to the rest of the collection, other than the very appropriate names and the colours...kinda.

I'm blogging past and present Christmas beauty releases every day until Christmas with a discount code or free gift offer at the bottom of each post. yesterday I shared an eyeshadow palette from Kiko's 2020, Holiday Gems collection. Today, I'm very excited about the item I have. I've been wanting to blog this since I got it from Santa last year, but was saving it for my Festive Beauty posts this year! Over on The Shoe Girl Diaries, I'm sharing my Irregular Choice Christmas or festive looking shoes, daily. Today, I have something from the current season, a twist on an old character heel.

This is the Dior Rouge Dior Minaudiere, Case & Lipstick Holder from their 2021 Atelier Of Dreams Collection. For years now, as part of the Dior gift sets, there's been a case with lipsticks. The case were usually zipped, leather-look with patterning or branding on the front and many people DIY'd these into proper handbags as they didn't come with straps. For 2021, Dior not only made it into a proper bag with strap, but elevated it into one of the most extra makeup items I own and I absolutely love them for it.

Today's blog post is brought to you through plentiful procrastination via excessive photos and unnecessary anguish. If I spent as long actually working as I did worrying about photos and blog posts not being perfect, I'd have finished all the way up until Christmas by now! I take too many photos, way too many photos (I know that, but I also take rubbish photos, so hope there will be one gem in amongst a bad bunch), so it's hard to go through them all and get rid of what I don't need, it all takes time. The item I have today is from a collection I bought a lot from (so literally hundreds of photos) and I actually started editing the photos for Festive Beauty 2021, but never had time to finish. I still don't, so I'm bringing you one item today instead. I have so many folders to go through and so many pictures I want to retake or swatches I need to get and there's never any daylight in Winter (why do I always forget that?), so yeah, I chopped and changed my mind numerous times today and decided I'd bring you this, so here goes. Remember to check the bottom for a discount/free gift and head over to The Shoe Girl Diaries for daily Irregular Choice Christmas shoes. Oh and yesterday's post if you missed it was, the Anna Sui Minnie Mouse nail polishes.

Flashback Beauty Friday posts will be on a little hiatus throughout December, as I'm instead posting every day like I did last year, in the run up to Christmas.

At the bottom of each post there's a discount code or free gift offer online, so be sure to scroll down for that. Over on The Shoe Girl Diaries, I'll be posting daily Festive Footwear posts from my Irregular Choice collection. Today I'm heading back to 2017 for MAC's Snow Ball collection.

Flashback Beauty Friday 96: BeneFit Glamourette

Last week I shared a now discontinued product by Australian brand, SugarBaby (Glamour Puss), if you missed that. I'm hoping to blog every day in the run up to Christmas with special 'Holiday' launches past and present, as I did last year. I realised I have absolutely loads of limited edition Christmas releases, so can definitely manage another year of it, so that will replace our Friday posts during December. Today, I have one of my most treasured makeup items, something that makes me feel very nostalgic as I wanted this so badly.

Last week I shared a couple of powders from discontinued boutique brand, Pout and today I have another complexion product for you. I'll admit I was hoping to do something a bit more exciting this week, but the weather has been so terrible (dark and awful rain), that I've been unable to get decent enough lighting at any point in the day for photos. It's calmer sounding now, but was torrential earlier. We've actually been getting less rain than usual, so I guess it decided to dump it all at once and then some!

Flashback Beauty Friday 94: Pout Powder

Sorry for the no post last week, I've been struggling to keep up with very low energy levels and almost continual migraines.  However, I was determined to get something up today. Last time I shared the old genie style bottle of Urban Decay Primer Potion and today I have a couple of powder items from discontinued brand, Pout.

I've featured boutique brand, Pout here many times now. They ceased trading in 2007 and anything I didn't already own, I snapped up in their clearance sales. Clearly the items today were from back when I wore makeup regularly as both are almost completely used up, a rare for me these days. The Pout packaging is so pretty, I thought they were worth keeping to photograph for these posts.

Last week I shared the Guerlain Divinora eyeshadow quad and I've just remembered I changed my mind about the other two palettes I owned and did photograph and swatch them (after), however I've not had a good week, so I've not been able to do anything with the photos yet. If I get it done this following week, I'll alert you to the update in my next FBF post.  This week I have something I previously mentioned whilst writing about the Urban Decay Surreal Skin Liquid Makeup last month. It is of course the iconic Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion or UDPP as it was often shortened to back in the day.

I've been unsuccessfully trying to buy the new Dior Holiday collection since it launched a couple of days ago on their site, however they've been having technical issues with payment.  Thankfully it's all fixed today, so I'm hoping I get it tomorrow, but if not it'll be Monday.  Usually DPD bring it on the Saturday even if it's not due until Monday.  Ideally I wanted it before the weekend, but it can't be helped.  Anyway this week I have some more discontinued items after my beautiful limited edition Dior Beauty Confidential 'envelope' palette last week.

I've been quite excited this week as the festive makeup collections are starting to come out. I bought a lot of MAC's Bubbles & Bows and it all looks lovely, I'm really saving for the Paul & Joe Cinnamoroll release and their advent calendar though (which I love every year). I've already bought Mum the Elemis calendar for Christmas.  Anyway last week, I shared the Stila sponge compact foundation, Pivotal Skin, if you missed that. Today I have a limited edition piece that means a lot to me.
