Ohhhh holiday, not only are you my favorite time of the year, you are my favorite makeup season. And I have been aesthetically binging on pictures from the MAC Cosmetics holiday collection all afternoon. MAC manages to really reinvent holiday every year, with a pleasingly festive color palette and suitably sparkly campaigns and packaging.
Shown above is the Magic, Mirth and Mischief Collection. It's meant to evoke "Unstuffy parties, impromptu rendezvous, the informal chic of Festive Fantasia or an intimate evening a deux."
More pictures and details of the collection after the jump!

In an economy where you might not be dropping hundreds of dollars on hairstyling tools for yourself (or even if you are) Christmas is a great time to ask for the pricier items in your beauty arsenal. FHI Heat realizes this and are offering their Technique 1" Styling Iron and Nano Weight Pro 1900 Blow Dryer in a combo pack for the holidays.
I use both of these products, and love, love, love the straightening iron in particular. If you're questioning the regular $120 price tag, I will say that this styler is definitely 10 times better than anything you're going to get at the drug store for $30. And if you buy the combo pack, you'll get the Technique Styling Iron and the $195 Blow Dryer for $199. It's almost like buying the hair dryer and getting the styling iron for free. My highest praise for the hair dryer, which I also use, is that it really is noticably lighter than any other hair dryer I've used. I have very thick hair that takes a long time to dry, and my arm never gets tired using this. These are truly salon-quality tools and if you're using cheaper stuff, you'll notice a difference.

Yesterday I went down to Boots' Christmas Press Day (they are done early for all those monthly magazines that work WAY in advance) and met the fabulous Gok Wan.
I expected him to be there as a guest providing words of wisdom on all things stylish but it turns out he is actually launching his own beauty range for Boots, come Christmas.
The range called Gorgeous by Gok is a selection of bath and body products all designed to pamper, pamper, pamper!
Read on after the Jump for more info on Gok's new range!

While my Christmas pressie wishlist seems to pile up fairly quickly with handbags and other dinky accessories (well, naturally), there are always a few big slots left in there for beauty products. I'm a M.A.C fiend, so buying anything from there will have me your new best friend. Ditto, fragrance. However, this year, I've tried to be super practical and actually add things I need and use on a regular basis, rather than just things which will have me squealing for glee for 5 minutes but which will sit in my makeup case unused for 5 years. I know... how sensible of me!

Stars always put me in the mood for parties, as there's something rather magical about images of them scattered around- I blame Twinkle Twinkle. In this new collection from Suqqu you get a chic white purse with two stylish compacts, one for eyes and one for lips. Makeup Kit A includes a palette of sparkly brown and gold shades for the eyes, as well as a silver black mascara and a shiny pouch for £48.
See the second kit after the jump.
