Day 3 of an awful migraine means a quick post for you today. Seeing as I briefly mentioned this product last week when talking about Eyeko's Fruity Felt Lip Pen, I thought I'd share the Urban Decay version. I'm sure UD released theirs first, we're talking early Noughties, like 2002-ish.

I had another good rummage last weekend for products for this series and discovered a lot. There were a couple of things that had me teary eyed, one in particular I'd completely forgotten I owned and I love it. I'm thinking of doing my Christmas blogs again this year, so am saving any special festive launches for then. Seeing as schools went back here this week after the summer holidays, I thought it apt to photograph these items today. Firstly, last week was the jewellery themed Lancôme tubed eyeshadows and gloss from 2007 if you missed that.

Flashback Beauty Friday 84: Lancôme Summer 2007

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 with swatches and details and over a year and a half on, this is where we're at! Last time was the Hard Candy charm bracelets if you missed those and I'm mixing jewellery and makeup again this week.

Don't yell at me, but I still don't have that post I've been teasing for weeks! I felt really unwell last night and I'd been busy during the day doing other things for the blog, so it's on hold again. It won't be next week either because if I can tease you some more, it's the brand I'm talking about today and I don't like doing the same two weeks running. It's one of their most iconic items if that gives you a couple of clues. Last time I shared the pretty Stila travel palette, Striking In South Beach if you missed that.
