For my last post of the year and to say Merry Christmas I thought I would share the very fitting limited edition Wet N Wild Holiday 2018 Collection*. You should still be able to get a hold of it in stores and it's definitely one you should hunt down. It's a great collection with lots of bronze tones, golden highlighters and some metallic liquid lipsticks that are very holiday appropriate.

Around this time of the year, Colourpop always tends to do a free worldwide shipping offer with no minimum spend so you know I got on board with that! As it happens my order ended up being over USD $50 which is the free shipping threshold normally... they sucked me in good. I was mostly wanting to stock up on my faves and also try and nab some of the Disney Designer collaboration.

The final bellabox* for the year is here and very fittingly themed 'All I Want For Christmas!' It's a really fun box this month with lots of makeup goodies to keep us going over the Summer.

If you follow my blog you would be well aware that I get the monthly beauty subscription from Australian run bellabox delivered each month. I always look forward to receiving it and seeing what products they've selected for that month. Every now and then they collaborate with another brand, store or in this case Good Magazine to create a carefully curated limited edition box that can be purchased on their website. The Good Magazine x bellabox Conscious Beauty Box* is all about natural beauty products with a focus on Australian and NZ brands.

As we lead up to Christmas, there are so many great sets and releases that I just can't wait to share. They'd make amazing gifts, or just as a treat to yourself! When it comes to makeup tools and brushes, I am a sucker for anything that Real Techniques bring out. They're my most used brushes that I own and have lasted me for years and years, plus it also helps that they aren't going to cost you an arm and a leg.

To continue on with the Christmas related releases that are everywhere right now, today's post features a very affordable palette from Wet N Wild - the MegaGlow Highlighting Palette* - a limited edition palette as part of their holiday releases. I think this would make an ideal stocking stuffer or for a Secret Santa gift if the person you are buying for loves a bit of glow!

I need eyeshadow palettes like a hold in the head, but does it stop me from buying them? Hell no! They are one of my favourite makeup items and with all the holiday releases I just can't resist. Last year MECCA MAX (home brand of Mecca Maxima) launched the Eyes To The Max Palette (see my review of it here), and it sold out so quickly and was super popular. I love it and still use it now, so when I saw that MECCA MAX was releasing another one I knew I was going to have to get it.
