Now I am fully aware that it is very VERY early to be talking about Christmas. However around Autumn time as it starts to get dark sooner and it's feeling a bit cold I always start to think about Christmas, basically because I love it so much... and I'm a bit odd.
So I decided to go on a bit of a hunt and track down some Christmas beauty gifts that will be out Christmas 2012 (quite a lot will be available from October and a few are even out now) and even discovered a few gifts that are a bit of a secret still!
Debenhams Christmas 2012
First up is quite a luxury choice with the Palette Grand Bal Carnet de Maquillage makeup kit (£60) from the Dior Grand Bal Collection, the palette features a pearl eyeshadow duo in platinum and gold, lip gloss in champagne and red, along with a deep black pen eyeliner that I am sure cleverly attaches to the palette. Very luxe and very beautiful.
Benefit also have quite a few sets out this Christmas...
She's So Jet Set (£29.50) - 4 eyeshadows, mini Porefessional, They're Real mini mascara, First-Class face powder, mini Life on the A-list lipgloss.
High Flyin Glosses (£19.50) - 6 of the new lip glosses mini size - Coralista, Dallas, Bella Bamba, Hoola, Sugar Bomb and Dandelion.
Crescent Row Fragrance set (£29.50) - 4 x 10ml Benefit fragrances including new See & Be Seen Sasha!
Passport To Post set (£25.00 - pictured above) - Mini Creasless Cream Shadow, Mini Bad Gal Lash mascara, 3 eyeshadows, Eye Bright and Boi-ing Concealer.
Cheaper gifts include Burt's Bees Lip Balm & Hand Salve set (£9.99) and Tinted Lip Balm set (£9.99). From Bliss a lovely little Marvellous Mittens set containing two hand creams (£10).
House of Fraser Christmas 2012
First up a lovely Exclusive Benefit gift set (£39.00) featuring Laugh with me LeeLee fragrance, They're Real mascara, Porefessional primer and That Gal brightening face primer. Not sure on product sizes but I am assuming these will all be minis.
From Nails Inc 'The After Party' (£25.00) a trio of full size nail polishes... the multi coloured glitter in the centre is just to die for. Also 'The Paparazzi' (£39.50) containing 15 mini nail polishes.
Other gifts include a Rose & Co Rose and Patchouli Bath Set (£15.00) and a beautiful Laura Mercier Exclusive Artist's Palettes for the eyes (£36.00) containing 12 eyeshadows. Information on the amazing Clarins Odyssey collection will be in Part 2.
Boots Christmas 2012
Boots have some lovely new collections for Winter/Christmas! First up 17 Dazzle the Night which contains two amazing new polishes - Wishing Star and Glimmer In The Night (£2.99 each). You can see nail swatches of the polishes on Flutter & Sparkle (here). I definitely want them both! Also in the collection will be Shimmer Rocks (£4.99).
No7 also have an amazing new collection out - Deco Darling which consists of some lovely pieces inspired by the 1920's Art Deco era. The range includes - Deco Darling Loose Powder Highlighter (£12), Deco Darling palette (£10), Nail polishes in Speakeasy and Daisy Darling (glitter) (£5.50 each) and Stay Perfect Intense Eye Pencil (£8.00). Both 17 and No7 collections will be out at the end of Oct/early Nov.
Henry Holland is also branching out House of Holland exclusively with Boots, sets will consist of body products, hair product sets and these cute house shapes nail polishes which I hope will be up to scratch at £10.
I think you will all agree that there are some lovely products coming out this Christmas. But wait! There is more.... oh, much more.
I will be posting Part 2 tomorrow for your festive eyes!
