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.

Advent Day 4 - The New Nail (the one I was !!!! about)

The almost-but-not-quite perfect shade from Nails Inc. I say almost because they already nailed (sorry) the no. 1, but only for a ltd edition promotion with Diet Coke. I still want them to make 'London' part of the main collection - are you listening Thea Green?!

'Porchester Square' is launching in January 2011. Put it in your (new) diary. You'll most likely get a hint at a good one of those too behind one door or another on ilovelipstick. I have mine already - not so much super organised as super spoilt. Thank you Clarins!
