Gang, hello, long time no see.  I realise I'm posting two LOTD's back to back ( Week 4 here ), but the accompanying Life Lately post is going to combine both weeks as I didn't do much nor do I have many notes for this period.  The previous week I'd taken my first trip out of the house all year, so that took it's toll and I needed time to recover, hence why I wasn't capable of doing a whole lot.  Things in my current life (my LL/LOTD posts are months behind), have also taken a bit of a turn.  I'm suffering from a herniated/slipped disc at the moment, which is extremely debilitating and painful.  I'm not getting much sleep because I can't move into a more comfortable position, I'm needing my walking stick and assistance to go to the bathroom in the adjacent room, I'm still in the same ...

Hi gang, sorry for the delay between posts lately.  I've been in a bit of a funk mood-wise and have taken up decorative journaling (not writing) in loose-leaf binders to be exact.  I'm really loving it and I've found it's something I'm actually managing without becoming completely shattered.  I've been doing a little bit each day and that's obviously eaten into any time I would normally have spent blogging.  I can't do it all and as poor as my quality of life has been over the years, I don't think it's too selfish to prioritise something I'm finding really enjoyable.  Anyway, it doesn't look like I'm going to get caught up on these posts anytime soon (may live to regret starting so far behind, but at the same time a lot of the work had already been done so...), but here's anoth...

Hello, I hope you're all keeping well.  We've gotten some much needed rain (the grass is green for the first time all Summer) and it's been a bit cooler (thankfully), so I've been able to sleep at night.  It's actually been feeling slightly Autumnal for brief moments and as we say in Scotland "the nights are fair drawing in" (means daytime is shorter/night is coming quicker), so it's time to shut the curtains and put the lights on earlier than usual.  Dare I say, I've been thinking of Christmas?  I keep getting emails about beauty advent calendar waitlists, so I think it's that, coupled with the change in weather!  Here's my round-up of lip combos and perfumes I've worn throughout the week.

I'm back with my second 'Lip Of The Day' weekly round-up, catch my first post here if you missed it and if you're new to my blog altogether, welcome.  Here, I post which lip products and perfumes I've been wearing each day.  A little reminder that these posts are currently weeks behind and that I do sometimes wear older makeup (unless it looks or smells icky), as I like to use my products as much as I can.  That said, I tend to reach for balms, oils and glosses these days which happen to be more current.  I wear perfume throughout the day and most nights put on another before bedtime.  EDT stands for Eau de Toilette and EDP is Eau de Parfum.

Welcome to my first proper post in a very long time-I hope you're all keeping well.  This series will focus on my LOTD's (Lip Of The Day) and which perfumes I've been wearing with them.  As I mentioned last week, I got into the habit of wearing daily lip combinations years ago, despite no longer wearing a full face of makeup.  Lip products have always been some of my favourite kinds of makeup, though I'd say my tastes have changed somewhat over the past year or two.  As you'll see, I mostly wear lipliner with a balm, oil or gloss and tend not to reach for my lipsticks as much (lipstick always used to be my favourite).

Up until Christmas I'm blogging makeup products from Christmas collections, recent and older. At the bottom of each post there's an online offer and over on The Shoe Girl Diaries I'm sharing festive shoes from my Irregular Choice collection. Last time, I blogged the No7 Midnight Enchantment Blusher from 2011 and today I have something much more recent.

Until Christmas I'm blogging (or trying to) every day with beauty products from limited edition, Holiday collections over the years. Much like Flashback Beauty Friday, but with a festive twist. Last time I shared the 2009 highlighter from No7 and today I have one of MAC's gifting sets. Head over to The Shoe Girl Diaries if Christmas shoes are your thing, as I'm blogging from my Irregular Choice collection, daily. Also check the bottom of each post for a sneaky little online treat.

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. I'll be featuring past and present, limited edition beauty items from Christmas collections. These will be new posts that I haven't featured on FBF before or Festive Beauty last year. 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.

I've really been suffering in this heat the past wee while, I'm not enjoying it at all. I'm fine without rain and like the bright sky, but I can't stand being too hot. I was able to take some photos yesterday of a collection I've been meaning to share for Flashback Beauty Friday for a while now, but there's too many photos to get through today, so I'll save it for next week. Last time, was the pretty Paul & Joe hummingbird print on a fan and lipstick, today it's another fusion between fashion and beauty.

I had hoped to get another blog post up this week, but unfortunately have been battling a 3-day migraine that meant I couldn't do anything. They seem to last 3 days with me now, which I'm really not enjoying. Anyway, we're not going back too far this week as the annual MAC Spring/blossom collection launched yesterday and I thought I'd share a piece from an older one. Last week I posted the flamingo 17 Miami Pop Lipgloss if you missed that.

As I said last week, most beauty brands these days do something to celebrate and over the past few years, I've really loved these collections. Last week, I chose the marbled Givenchy lipstick and today I have the MAC release from last year.

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.

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 .

For Christmas 2021, beauty advent calendars are back! During the pandemic last year, for many reasons I would assume, a lot of brands didn't launch calendars for Christmas. Between shop closures, restricted numbers in stores, shipping delays and likely just the general mood (though to be honest, I could've done with some extra sparkle), we missed out, but I've put together a list of 20 beauty advents that I think need your attention, starting with "the big one" launching today!

Post does not contain affiliate links or PR gifts. I'm posting a little later because I decided to give you a big post today. Rather than concentrating on one item, I thought I'd share everything I bought from one limited edition collection. Firstly, if you're new here, welcome. Flashback Beauty Friday is a weekly feature taking a look back at older discontinued or limited edition beauty items and their packaging, just for fun and a little reminisce. Last week, I shared the Urban Decay cocktail flavoured glosses if you missed it.

I was really excited to see The Disney Cruella Collection by MAC launch. As I've previously mentioned on the blog, the 2010 MAC Venomous Villains included 4 Disney villains, one being Cruella De Vil from the animated 101 Dalmatians. However, Disney's Cruella is back for 2021 in a collection of her own, to coincide with the new live action film of the same name, starring Emma Stone (out 28th May). The range was quite small, but I picked up a few pieces. I was really tempted with the concept of the eyeshadow palette (magnetic sections that break apart to create smaller palettes), but I wasn't sure I needed it (other than the stunning khaki shimmer shade).

Week 24 of our visit to an old beauty item and I couldn't resist sharing this piece today, after the launch of The Disney Cruella Collection by MAC yesterday. It's to coincide with the new live action film coming out later this month. I bought a few bits, so I'm hoping to get photos up once they arrive. Before we start, if you missed my post last week, it was the MAC Graphic Garden eye palette , MAC two weeks in a row, I know, but...!

I just needed to breathe today and I've felt a headache coming on for hours.  I don't think I slept that well last night, I remember waking at half 5 and needing to go to the toilet and contemplated just not going back to sleep, then realised that was a bad idea!  Anyway, last week I took you back about 15 years to a Stila limited edition release with The Pussycat Dolls and today I have a MAC 2009 launch.
