Now I don't know about you but it is music to my ears (well eyes?) when I read the words 'free delivery' as I hate the Royal Mail for many reasons and I also hate paying delivery in general! However what is even more beautiful than free p&p for me is Collect in store.... ahhh no more stupid 'You were out' cards.
Which is why I'm so so happy that Tesco Direct are now selling all different types of beauty products and offering the free pick-up in store situation thingy - next day I may add!
Now the only let down is that they aren't stocking Vivo online which is definitely a crying shame... but fingers crossed for in the future, as my nearest store hasn't got a stand (like a lot of people). However Tesco Direct are now stocking Natio, some Rose & Co products, the brand new to the UK Diego Dalla Palma, Barbara Daly and lots more! Also they have quite a few affordable Christmas gifts that I'm sure they won't have in smaller Tescos.
So here are a few beauty highlights that I spotted when browsing the new beauty section...
Now I just know these two sets won't be in my local Tesco so whilst these are on 3 for 2 I think I may pick up three and keep one for myself as normally a lip gloss from Barbara Daly is around £4.00 anyway! The left set is in Razzle Dazzle (here) and the right set is in Peach Pzazz (here). I think this is a really cheap but nice gift for Tesco!
Another range my local Tesco don't sell and the only place I have seen them is in the Tesco Beauty Hall in Bolton or in Asda. So far I have tried two nail polishes from the new Maybelline MNY range and really like them... I really should do a Nail of the Day sometime soon. The shades from top left are:- Shimmery Purple (here), Gold Shimmer (here), Mermaid Blue (here) and Copper (here).
As for actual beauty gifts these are my firm favourites - Natio Ageless Traveller Set (here) for just £4.50 this is fab! The two minis that excite me the most are the illuminating primer and the brightening eye cream so will definitely be ordering this in the next few days so that I can go and pick it up at the weekend!
I'm also totally in love with Rose & Co products as the moment so my eyes lit up when I saw this - the Rose & Co Candlelit Bath Giftset (here) which includes three lovely bath fancies, a face cloth, a lovely pocket mirror and a tinned Green Tea candle... so lovely! Also all the packaging/presentation of the Rose & Co products is just so pretty and perfect for Christmas presents (mental note: NEED to write a post on all my Rose & Co products).
Next up is a Naked Dream of Coco De Mar Giftset (here) which isn't all that special but if you have a friend/relative like me who doesn't use anything that isn't natural or organic in the bath then this would make a fab present. I know I would much rather this at Christmas than all the crappy shower gels that contain SLS that I can't use!

Also even though it isn't a gift, I had to include the Barbara Daly Eyeliner Polish as it's just so great (read my review of it here in my Top 3 Eyeliner post) and now it's also in Mellow Brown (here) as well as Dramatic Black (here).
Last but not least I noticed Tesco's own Skin Wisdom range which I haven't taken much notice of before but seeing as the whole range is half price at the moment I think it may be the time to give it a swirl. I mean you really can't beat a Tinted Moisturiser in medium for £3.00 (here) or even an interesting Beauty Balm (which I'm not entirely sure what it's for) for £3.00 (here). Also I'm quite interested to try the Ultimate Lift Face & Decolletage Serum (here) seeing as it's so cheap and I'm always aware that the chest and neck do age the quickest because the skin is so thin and elasticated.
I know this has been a total ramble but I wanted to just give you an idea of what products are on Tesco Direct now and I just love how you can still receive club card points (and spend them!) and there is always 3 for 2's going on etc!
Plus there are quite a few nice but cheap gifts as well!
PS. Well done Tesco... but we NEED Vivo online as well now!
