Karl Lagerfeld does Makeup

AHEM! This is the most exciting O M (for makeup) G news I've stumbled across in a loooong time. If like me you're a bit shamefully obsessed with Karl Lagerfeld and his monochrome, slightly cartoonish caricature iconic genius version of himself, you will be wondrously overjoyed to hear that Dear Santa has answered my letter and delivered Karl designed makeup and accessories to Sephora, just in time for Xmas.

I mean look, an eye palette where each of the shades is a mini silhouette (post extreme weight loss, which is a shame when you consider value for money) Karl. nail varnish duo's, cute makeup bags and my personal fall off my chair favourites, a doll and a SNOWGLOBE.

Advent Day 17 - Soap Stars

These may have launched early November, but never have I or the rest of the UK's shopping population been so excited about soap. In fact, Selfridges have noticed a 30% rise in general soap sales since the Chanel No. 5 trio box set went on shelf, and even I've done a feature or two on the humble cleansing bar. There's still a (very) little time before Christmas...

p.s. Jo Malone Lime, Basil & Mandarin and Clarins Gentle Beauty Soaps are contenders too.

In my own bathroom, because I can't bring myself to get the No. 5's wet, is Crabtree & Evelyn's Vetiver bar - smells aMAzing.
