If you are a long time reader you will know my slight obsession with eyeshadow palettes. I literally can't resist them and I love trying out new ones that come out. Rimmel London who has been launching new products left right and centre (most of them are awesome!), has bought out larger palette in their Magnif'eyes Eye Contouring Palette range, as well as a new eyeliner and mascara. Let me tell you, these palettes are pretty damn impressive...

Carrying on from what has been an extended gift guide of sorts on my blog this past couple of weeks, it was about time I shared this set from Nude By Nature - the Summer Luxe 10 Piece Brush Set*. You can't go wrong with gifting a gorgeous set of brushes to any beauty lover, and you can never have enough!

Christmas time means holiday sets packed to the brim with good deals and exclusive launches. This year I have managed to resist many of these sets (bar these two here) but when I saw the MECCA MAX Christmas launches, I knew the Eyes To The Max Mega Party Palette just had to be mine. And so it was...

Every year, M.A.C brings out a gorgeous holiday collection, and the 2017 Snowball Collection is above and beyond what they have released in previous years. I could not resist not getting a couple of the products via. their US website (using YouShop) as soon as it launched as I knew it would be a sell out there and in NZ. I also got a couple of other limited edition lipsticks which I had to share!

Christmas just isn't Christmas without getting a few products from The Body Shop seasonal range and this year they have brought back two old favourites and introduced a brand new scent into their holiday range. As well as the usual body and skincare treats and gorgeous sets, they have some new makeup items perfect for this season. Last month I got to preview the new range at their Queen St before right before it was launching nationwide and let me tell you, there are some amazing products!

There is no denying that Mecca just continues to up their game when it comes to the brands they have available, with the holiday range this year being enormous and incredible. Not only are there a whole load of Christmas sets and minis, the 2017 Holiday packaging is beautiful which was created in collaboration with Claudia Moodoonuthi and the National Gallery of Victoria. As someone who is an art lover and works at a gallery, I just love that they collaborate with artists to bring something unique and gorgeous to the branding.

Unlike last year where I went a little HAM with the Holiday ranges, this year I have only bought a few things that I could not resist and I thought I would share them with you all as they would make the perfect Christmas gifts for any beauty lover (or as a treat for yourself, of course!)

We have finally made it - the last month of 2017, how friggin weird is that?! For now, though it is time to look back on the products I finished up throughout November. Also just a little note, I won't have a Most Loved post up for November, which will probably be the first month ever since I started my blog that I haven't posted it but there just wasn't anything that stood out to me. Instead, I will do a double whammy in December.
