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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Yesterday I went back to 2011 for the MAC Glitter & Ice Collection , today I have a beautiful highlighter from a brand I always rely on to come up with beautiful festive pieces. My Irregular Choice Festive Footwear post is up on The Shoe Girl Diaries and remember the discount code or treat at the bottom of each post.

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).

Apologies for the no-post yesterday, I was struggling to keep up and wanted to get that advent blog up. Today, I'm heading back to 2007, so it's a proper "Flashback Beauty Friday". My last Festive Beauty was of the beautiful new Dolce & Gabbana Christmas collection , so definitely check that out if you missed it. I'm behind with The Shoe Girl Diaries, Irregular Choice Festive Footwear , but I'll try to get done what I can.

We're more than halfway through my Festive Beauty series now and I'm almost ruing the day I decided to do it, almost! No, really I enjoy blogging and makeup and shoes are things I obviously like talking about, but I do wish I'd been more prepared, because I'm struggling to keep up every day. My own fault for not starting in October! I did want to alert you that I've updated the Paul & Joe cream eyeshadow swatch from the advent calendar post. I know I mentioned yesterday the other bits I also have to update, but it's been a one-thing-at-a-time kind of day. So that's done. If you missed my blog post here yesterday it was...ooh, the No7 star highlighter , very pretty. My Irregular Choice Festive Footwear I've yet to post, but yesterday was the new Chilly Chimney Clutch Bag . As always, a treat at the end of the...

I've definitely bitten off more than I can chew with my post today and it's going to take more than a day to organise the photos, so I've abandoned that to bring you a quick one. Yesterday I shared my By Terry highlighter from 2020 and I managed to take swatches of that today, so will update that post soon. Likewise the cream eyeshadow in the advent calendar...and there was something else, oh the unused MAC Shiny Pretty Things, yep that'll get updated too.  My Irregular Choice Festive Footwear will be up later on The Shoe Girl Diaries and remember to read to the bottom of the post for a little treat.

Photos of the highlighter and eyeshadows in my last post ( MAC Shiny Pretty Things ) before I used them! I knew I was well enough trained not to just dig into something without a photo first!! Typical I find it the day after though, much like my group shots when I forget something, which coincidentally I also did yesterday.  Not for that post, but anyway, I'll update the photos when I get time, but first I'm bringing you yet another flashback festive item.  This time, it's just from last year and let me tell you, this one is ALL about the packaging. Remember your treat at the bottom of the post and my Irregular Choice Festive Footwear will be up later tonight on The Shoe Girl Diaries .

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 .

Post does not contain affiliate links or PR gifted items. Another week gone by and I haven't published any new posts other than my weekly shoe review on The Shoe Girl Diaries . This week has just been ugh. From start to finish, if it could go wrong, it has. I'm honestly done with this week already! In fairness, I am working on a big post at the moment that is very picture heavy, so it's taking time. I've been really lacking in motivation this week to tackle to it though. However, here's our weekly trip down memory lane and I don't think I've featured No7 yet. Last week, was the beautiful carousel Paul & Joe lippie and case . Going through my makeup I've been surprised by the amount of No7 items I have to be truthful. I wasn't aware I bought all that much from them, but I guess I got sucked into every limited edition release and it was likely 3 for 2 (isn't it always?!) and I probably played that game where you use a £5 voucher for...

Post does not contain PR gifts or affiliate links. Another beautiful piece for Flashback Beauty Friday this week, but I'd like to start by wishing you all a happy and healthy new year. "Lang may yer lum reek" and all that! Last week, I picked the fabulous and very tiny Lancôme Precious Carat , this week I have a very unusual Stila powder.

Last week I was hunting for more things to sell on eBay and in my usual fashion, got distracted (although technically it was for a good deed) and managed to find storage for my overspill of blush and highlighting powders. I got this black sparkly Lancome vanity case last year and I realise as I'm writing this that I've still never actually shown you what was inside and the rest of the haul that went with it! I do still have the photos somewhere and will eventually get round to posting them! Anyway, I grabbed all my extra powders (I already have a shallow drawer with my blushes and a deep one with more blush and highlighters-which was getting too full to close). I also had some newer, homeless Lancome and MAC powders and amazingly, the entire overspill (and a good chunk of the 'deep drawer') fitted perfectly into this case, with the exception of two compacts which sit on top, but I'm mega excited at the neat little rows! Everything just slotted in perfectly. I t...

*This is a marathon post, but hopefully you'll enjoy it. I hope to provide more detailed images over time. Although some of these pictures were taken quite quickly, it still took ages to edit and put together so please do not steal them* Ok, I promised stash pictures and have been meaning to do this for a long time, even before I started this blog. I've been a member of MUA for years and always figured at some point I would photograph my collection. However I've just been overwhelmed by the sheer size. Where do you start? Years ago, when I was at University, I used to pretty much work out of a vanity case (a leaving pressie from the chemist I worked when I was at school). It went everywhere with me. My foundation, concealer, blusher, eyeliners, mascaras, brushes etc were all contained in there. When I think of it now, I can't understand quite how I managed that! Lip products (99% lipstick rather than gloss) were housed in a huge hat box. I used to get loads of freeb...
