Getting Christmas cards is nice and all, but I'd never say I was excited about receiving a card (unless it has money in it, natch). If I was open my post to find a Pupa greetings card though, that would all change. Their cards have makeup and a mirror inside. How exciting is that?!
They're kinda pricey at £3 per card, but if there's makeup in the card, you don't have to worry about a present, right?

Mineral makeup is slowly but surely coming into the mainstream, and No 7 are making their first foray into mineral shadows with this Eye Jewels palette. For £13 you get four loose powders in plum, gold, teal and meteor, plus a double ended brush applicator. I'm not really tempted by the colours, but I love the no spill palette and the handy tray!

Yes, yes, YES! Please excuse me for a moment while I contain my excitement.
This is Ben and Jerry's, aka the super scrummy ice cream, but in lip balm form. Fan-yummy-tastic!
Ben and Jerry's say that the lip balm versions of some of their most popular ice creams Choc Chip Cookie Dough (yum), Choc Fudge Brownie (double yum) and Peanut Butter Cup (oh, actually that one sounds kinda gross) smell and taste exactly like the real thing. Sadly, they then go on to say you shouldn't eat it. Spoil sports.
I'm already addicted to lip balm (and ice cream, natch) so I'm not sure buying one of these is the best idea, but what the hell, I'll see you on the UK Ben and Jerry site, where each pot costs £3.99.

I know that this is probably not of the highest quality, what with the prices all being less than a tenner. But I'm not sure I care, because it's all so cute. The range includes body creams, bath fizzers, and nail polishes, and is available from Boots here.
More oh so pretty here, here and here (it's like anoh so pretty lucky dip!).

Forget scouring the catwalks and speed-reading magazines to find the hottest nail colours for autumn/winter, Butter London have done it for you. Their creative director, Nonie Creme, took notes backstage at London Fashion Week, and has created this five-piece nail wardrobe to last you through to spring.
All of the Butter London range is non-toxic, and right out of, er...Seattle. Random.

I'm already a big fan of Max Factor foundations (check out our reviews of Colour Adapt and Age Renew) so when I heard about Miracle Touch, I was excited! Their newest foundation claims to melt upon contact with skin and transform into a silky liquid providing a super lightweight feel combined with superior coverage. Sounds good, eh?
I'm looking forward to trying it out, and happily Max Factor are currently offering a free sample, click here to get one.
