Festive Beauty: Day 1

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. Last thing, I'm going to include a treat (a discount code, free gift or online offer) every day that you can take advantage of (I'll aim to keep it beauty related here), so read to the bottom of the post for that.

This is the Lancôme Glossy Charms Bracelet from the 2006 Crystal Eve collection.

The idea is to thread one or more of the trio of mini Juicy Tubes lipglosses onto the bracelet. The purple lids are heavy (metal), I can't imagine it would be comfortable or look that great to be perfectly honest! The Lancôme rose hooks through the square to close (the clasp is there to unhook so the glosses get on or off the chain).

The set contained three limited edition (particularly yummy) JT shades in 7ml tubes; Crystal Shine (white with gold micro glitters, the sparkliest of the trio), Bewitching Ruby (pale pink with pink micro glitter) and Hypnotic Sapphire (violet with pink pearl, the least glittery).

My treat for today is a free Soft Glamour Eyeshadow Palette (4 shades to pick from), when you spend £30 at Revolution Beauty (gift options will open when qualifying amount has been added to basket, no code necessary, cannot be used in conjunction with another offer or sale items).  You might wish to check out the new fragrances they launched today, with an introductory offer of 2 for £16 (usually £10 each).  There are four scents to choose from.
