Flashback Beauty Friday 96: BeneFit Glamourette

Post does not contain affiliate links or PR gifted items.

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.

Thankfully it's a bit cooler today (before the next heat wave), so I've been able to move around and get on with work. As I was frantically fanning myself this past week, it reminded me of something I could photograph for Flashback Beauty Friday, so that's what I have today. Last time I shared my collection of Playboy Calendar Girl lipsticks with swatches, if you missed that.

Last week, if you missed it, was the Yayoi Kusama illustrated Lancôme JT to celebrate 10 years of Juicy Tubes. I have quite a lot of images to get through today, so I'll get straight to it.

I'm back with a collection of lipsticks from a brand I've shared here before. Last week, I showed you the very beautiful YSL Palette Esprit Couture compacts from 2011, definitely worth a nosey if you missed those.

I've been unintentionally posting eyeshadows for a few weeks now, so I thought I'd change to lips, with a really lovely limited edition piece from BeneFit. The Unicorn Tears liquid eyeshadow from Too Faced was my trip down memory lane last week if you missed that.

Flashback Beauty Friday 56: Lunar New Year Special 4

I've procrastinated so much regarding this post and these images. I wasn't happy with the photos I took last year, so reshot them this week...still wasn't happy, but now I've looked at the stock photos, I can see the brand also had issues with getting the colours correct. Actually mine are a lot closer, so panic over! Okay, last week for my Chinese New Year special, I posted the Bobbi Brown 2021 Stroke Of Luck collection and today I have another one from last year.

In the third of my special Flashback Beauty Friday posts leading up to Chinese New Year, I'm focusing on the 2021 Bobbi Brown collection. Here's my MAC, Moon Masterpiece post from last week if you missed it.  

Flashback Beauty Friday 54: Lunar New Year Special 2

Post does not contain affiliate links or PR gifted items.

Throughout January I'm sharing some of my limited edition makeup items from past Lunar New Year collections for Flashback Beauty Friday. 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 hope you enjoyed Festive Beauty during December, whilst Flashback Beauty Friday took a break. I thought I'd kind of combine the two for January with a look back at limited edition pieces from Chinese New Year collections. Most beauty brands these days do something special to celebrate the Lunar New Year, whether that's their regular skincare line in special packaging or limited edition makeup releases. If I'm really honest, in the past few years I've looked forward to these collections more than the festive Christmas launches which have been becoming a bit tired. None of the items date back too far, but hopefully it'll still be of interest for you to see.

Festive Beauty: Day 19

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.

I'm back with another Festive Beauty post, sorry for the long gap, I've been exhausted and needed a break. I've also been getting very frustrated as we haven't had daylight at all this week, not even an hour, so I can't take any photos. Anyway, my limited edition pieces today date back to 2010 and as always read to the bottom for an online treat. My Irregular Choice Festive Footwear post will be up later, but I did post a new one this morning of the original Santa heels (I was a day behind on there).

Beauty Advent Calendars 2021: Paul & Joe and Barry M Part 2

Here's my second part of the advent calendar reveals (you can find Part 1 here), days 9-16 for Paul & Joe and as I'm opening the Barry M one every second day (it's a 12 day advent), days 5-8. We'll begin with the Paul & Joe Makeup Collection 2021, Day 9, which were these adorable cat shaped hair clips. They have Paul & Joe written on one side and cat whiskers on the other. I was really excited to get these as it's quite a unique item, something that isn't sold separately here.

Like my Irregular Choice Festive Footwear post today, I have quite a lot to get through, so will get on with it. Read to the bottom for a little treat and here's my Clarins 2018 limited edition collection post from yesterday if you missed it.

I'm on my 4th day of a migraine, so I apologise that these posts have been published so late and today there's no Irregular Choice Festive Footwear on The Shoe Girl Diaries as I'm planning a double post tomorrow and just can't stare at a screen any longer today or I'll be sick. I still have a beauty treat at the bottom of this post and multiple seasonal pieces including a current one to share today. Yesterday if you missed it, was the lovely 2012 Paul & Joe makeup collection.

Day 2 of Festive Beauty isn't travelling back as far as the Lancôme JT charm bracelet yesterday. Remember to head over to The Shoe Girl Diaries for my daily Irregular Choice festive offering and read down to the bottom of this post for a little beauty treat.

An item relating to a post from a couple of months ago coming right up, but first, I blogged yesterday about beauty advent calendars for 2021, so check that out if you're looking to treat yourself or someone else. Last week, Flashback Beauty Friday was one of those bizarre packaged ones, Urban Decay think almost naked men and lipgloss are perfect partners. You need to see it if you missed it!

Flashback Beauty Friday 46: Paul & Joe Cat Lipstick

Last week I shared the Golden Hat highlighter from Lancome's 2011 Christmas collection and today I have the debut cat shaped lipstick from Paul & Joe and no, I still haven't plucked up the courage to use it!

Another hark back to old makeup this week, with a brand long discontinued in the world of beauty. Last week I shared the Too Faced Hollywood Glamour In A Box palette, so click that if you missed it.

Welcome back to another flashback beauty product. If you missed last week, I shared the flatter (less ice-cube like) packaging for the Estee Lauder Pure Color Eyeshadow. Today I have a small collection of discontinued lipsticks from a brand no longer available in the UK.

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.
