Every day until Christmas, I'll be blogging limited edition festive beauty releases from over the years. Yesterday I shared the amazing Rouge Dior Minaudiere and today I have quite an unusual lipstick. Over on The Shoe Girl Diaries , I'm posting my festive Irregular Choice shoes and be sure to check the bottom of each post for a special online offer.

Should I tell you the story about photographing these three times?  I probably shouldn't!  I'd already previously photographed the gloss, but remembering I had the eyeshadow (green, I thought), I decided to take them together.  After doing that yesterday (I was awake from 5am because of the heat), I was convinced I really did have the green (I pondered if age had discoloured it, until I read the shade name and knew it had nothing to do with green), so rummaged further and did indeed find a green tube.  I don't remember owning two, but clearly I did! If I wasn't so fussy, I would've just added in some separate photos, but here we are (I even changed the background because I wasn't happy with it)! If you're new here, Flashback Beauty Friday is a look back at old discontinued or limited edition beauty items.  These posts were supposed to be a quick wee photo and description, but I get carried away wi...

After my very picture heavy post last week on the history of Dior's Rouge Dior Lipsticks , I decided against sharing this entire collection that I bought a few years back and just stuck to one item.  Me being me though, I still have a lot to say on one piece!

I hope you enjoyed my post last week, which was a little history of the Dior Addict lip gloss packaging and the small changes they've made over the years. Today, I'm going back 11 years, to a limited edition piece. One of those "too pretty to use" types!

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.

No gifted PR products in this post.   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. ...

Post does not contain affiliate links or PR gifted items. I'm back with quite an interesting, innovative piece of beauty history for Flashback Beauty Friday , both in terms of packaging and product. If you missed last week, it was a look back at single eyeshadow compacts from Urban Decay and how they've changed over the years. Today, I'm going back to Spring 2008 and Gucci Westman's final collection at Lancôme as artistic director.

We're in the 25th week of Flashback Beauty Friday , which is a fun little reminisce about limited edition or older, discontinued beauty items. Last week was the MAC Cruella De Vil lipglass from their Disney Venomous Villains collection and I have photos of the new Cruella (live action) collection to share in a review post next week. For this post, I have a very cool, unusual item.

It's been a while since a Beauty Lately... post, though last night I checked back and thought "March 24th? That was just over a week ago, I thought it was longer since I posted". Then I realised, we're in May now! So more like 5 weeks. I've still been photographing bits for these posts, so hopefully I'll get back to regular posting and get caught up.

A beautiful limited edition product for you this week, but first, if you missed the slightly different post from usual last week, then you can find the Urban Decay lipstick evolution here . Flashback Beauty Friday is a little reminisce each week of older, discontinued or limited edition beauty items.  This week, I have the rather long titled Lancôme Star Bronzer, Limited Edition Bamboo Powder, Compact Bronzing Powder & Blush, Body and Face . Phew! It's also known as the Tropiques Mineral Bamboo Bronzer, Temptingly Bronze, but there's no mention of this on my compact (I don't have the box any longer). This launched for their Bronze Riviera (Summer 2010) collection, a time when Lancôme tended to release a new limited edition bronzing compact each year.

It wasn't my intention to have so many of these posts in a row on the blog, but I haven't been feeling great this week, so haven't finished my other drafts.  These posts are a bit easier for me to tackle.  Flashback Beauty Friday is a nostalgic look back at old limited edition or discontinued beauty products, to appreciate their beautiful packaging and have a little reminisce. Last week was the cute eyeshadow compacts from Pout (sob) and today I have part of my Lancôme Juicy Tubes collection.

I don't want to call myself a hoarder, because I do enjoy looking back at brands that are no longer available or products that at the time were really innovative for whatever reason. So over the past 20 odd years I've amassed quite a collection of things, a lot of the prettier ones unswatched, because I often struggle to 'ruin' these designs! So, I thought I'd start a new feature where each week I share an old beauty product and if you're a long-time follower here, then there will probably be some things you recognise. With M.E. my memory is patchy, so I may not be an encyclopedic knowledge each week, but it's supposed to be an enjoyable look back over some special bits that you may also reminisce about or they may be entirely new to you. Disclaimer, because I'm sure I'l...
