Okay, so the last two weeks have been pretty full-on looking at what beauty buys will be filling our shelves come Christmas. The reason that this snowman, bauble and tree laden month takes place is mainly for the monthly magazines who have what is called a long-lead time – that means that they are working on their Christmas editions now or very soon and need product to shoot and write about. It’s never a comprehensive view as some products come in much later and even though I’ve been walking this winter wonderland for years, it’s always a novelty to walk into a elf-heavy room in the middle of summer. I’m just uploading some of the pictures of the fortnight to give you an over-view of themes and events that I’ve liked.

Wow, usually I can resist the Christmas offerings and stick to buying presents but I think it’s going to be a little hard this year!!! The packaging on those HH nail polishes is irresistable xxx
How cute are the Henry Holland nail polishes?!! They are definitely going on my Christmas list xx
I need that hourglass lipgloss (or is it a liquid lipstick? lipstain?) in my life. The colour is amazing! And a great excuse for a trip to Liberty!
Yes! More Hello Kitty/Liberty things. Loved it last year and the scent was on the right side of sweet for me. Also love the stila designs on their palettes.
Same old crap from Boots. No surprise there. But Bliss and Jo Malone! Oh my! That’s going straight onto the wish list.

Lol yes I feel like the Boots Christmas lines are de ja vu year after year. Henry Holland really?!! There will be tons left over just like last year with Gok.
So excited about HH! and the bliss products! xx
Jo Malone cologne set! Finally the wait is over! I wonder which scent will be included??
Will have to put the House of Holland polishes on my list, they look so sweet!
Looks like Soap & Glory have done it again. I love the packaging this year, and that silver and pink case is calling to me. Is that a candle in the jar in front? Original, Mist You Madly or the new fruity fragrance?
woohoo!! so glad there is going to be more Hello Kitty/ Liberty this year, smells amazing, I got half the range for Xmas 2011, Xmas 2012 will be no different!!!!
