Today's blog post is brought to you through plentiful procrastination via excessive photos and unnecessary anguish. If I spent as long actually working as I did worrying about photos and blog posts not being perfect, I'd have finished all the way up until Christmas by now! I take too many photos, way too many photos (I know that, but I also take rubbish photos, so hope there will be one gem in amongst a bad bunch), so it's hard to go through them all and get rid of what I don't need, it all takes time. The item I have today is from a collection I bought a lot from (so literally hundreds of photos) and I actually started editing the photos for Festive Beauty 2021, but never had time to finish. I still don't, so I'm bringing you one item today instead. I have so many folders to go through and so many pictures I want to retake or...

I've been unsuccessfully trying to buy the new Dior Holiday collection since it launched a couple of days ago on their site, however they've been having technical issues with payment.  Thankfully it's all fixed today, so I'm hoping I get it tomorrow, but if not it'll be Monday.  Usually DPD bring it on the Saturday even if it's not due until Monday.  Ideally I wanted it before the weekend, but it can't be helped.  Anyway this week I have some more discontinued items after my beautiful limited edition Dior Beauty Confidential 'envelope' palette last week.

This is the post I've been teasing for weeks.  An iconic oldie and one that I just couldn't resist photographing in a big way, especially when the swatches started. I'm not kidding when I say they brought a tear to my eye, they are sooo good. Firstly, last week was the second of my lip stain pens, this time Urban Decay's offering , so click that if you have time to read it later. If you've already seen that, then read on for the mega post.

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 wi...

Unfortunately I don't have the post I spoke about last week (the one with lots of photos) as I still haven't had time to edit them, but I do have a cute wee palette for you today. Last week, I shared a couple of eyeshadows from the MAC Alexander McQueen collaboration, if you missed those.

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 already photographed the blushes for this post, then later discovered I owned the eyeshadow quad from the same range. I decided to retake all the photos so you could see all the items together. Last week, I shared the Summer 2007 YSL palettes if you missed that.

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.

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.

Quick post tonight as I'm in the midst of working on another (longer) post for the blog as well as my usual Irregular Choice Festive Footwear over on The Shoe Girl Diaries . Who is this 3 blogs a day person? Actually by last month I'd noticed I'd blogged here more in 2021 than I had in 2020 and 2019 together! Anyway the item today you may have already spied in my series banner above and as always read to the end of the post for a special offer.  Oh and catch up with my Dior Diorific nail polishes over the years, if you missed that yesterday.

If you missed my post yesterday, I compared the new Too Faced Cinnamon Bun Melted Matte to previous shades and over on The Shoe Girl Diaries today, there's a double post (well technically triple, but I'm counting it as 2) to make up for not posting yesterday. As always, there's a little treat the bottom of each post.

If you missed last week, it was a look back at single eyeshadow compacts from Urban Decay and how they've changed over the years. Today, I'm going back to Spring 2008 and Gucci Westman's final collection at Lancôme as artistic director.
