Liz Earle makes the Ultimate Christmas Beauty Hamper
Liz Earle really wasn’t joking when she called this ‘The Ultimate Hamper’, was she? I’ve been meaning to ty her Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser for a while now, but if I thought there was any chance of me actually managing to save my money rather than splurging it every month, I’d be really tempted to save up and buy this instead. For the price of £142 you get:
Expensive, yes, but oh so very, very worth it…

Bobbi Brown Holiday Collection 2007 – Pink Quartz
Shimmery pinks and brown are the focus of Bobbi Brown’s Pink Quartz holiday collection, and very lovely it all looks, too. There are six different pieces to collect, and the gorgeous Shimmer Brick has gone right onto Dollface’s Christmas wish – although I wouldn’t say no to any of the rest of this collection, either. It consists of:
Lip Gloss Trio – $40
Three limited edition glosses in Pink Sugar Shimmer Lip Gloss Exclusive Slopes Shimmer Lip Gloss Buff Lip Gloss .
Pink Quartz Mini Brush Set – $45
Face Blender, Eye Shadow, and Ultra Fine Eyeliner brushes, packed into a pretty pink case.
Best of Chocolate Palette – $55
Four eyeshadows and four lip glosses from last season’s Chocolate collection, in a two-tier case.
Best Sellers Lip and Eye Palette – $60
Four lip shades, four eye shadows plus two brushes.
Pink Quartz Shimmer Brick Compact – $38
The oh-so-desirable limited edition shimmer brick containing different shades of pink, rose, beige and gold. Yum!
Tube Tints Set – $28
Four sheer, moistirizing lips shades: Exclusive Champagne Glitter Exclusive Rosy Lip Tint SPF 15 Exclusive Baby Pink Glitter Exclusive Burnt Sugar Shimmer Lip Tint SPF 15
A Year’s Supply of Boots Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum, half price!
If you’ve read my review of Boots No. 7′s Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum, you’ll know I’m a big fan of this stuff, which is why £49.50 for a year’s supply doesn’t sound like too much to me – in fact, it sounds pretty damn good!
A year’s supply equals 200ml as far as Boots are concerned, and that £49.50 is a special offer: it normally costs twice that amount, at £99.00, and the offer ends on December 8th, so if you want to take advantage of it, you better do it now!
This offer isn’t available in-store, so you’ll have to buy from the Boots website. Just make sure you leave some for me…
Sephora’s Blockbuster Palette for Eyes, Face & Lips
All too often when you see big-ass makeup palettes like this, they contain maybe three shades you’ll actually wear (if you’re lucky), and the rest is just padding. So, from this you can probably tell that I’m not a huge fan of palettes. This one, though… this one I could be tempted by. For one, it’s by Sephora, fount of all that is wonderful in the world of makeup, and for two … well, look at it! 64 eyeshadows, 32 lip colors, seven cheek colors, a translucent shimmer powder and more brushes than you could shake a lipstick tube at, and there just has to be more than three colours here that you’ll wear. And even if there isn’t, well, $48 isn’t too much to pay to find out, is it?
Smashbox’s Beyond Beauty Flawless Finish Skin Perfectors Kit
I’m one of those people who takes a really bad photo. No matter how good I think I look before the camera flashes, as soon as the results are produced, I find myself cringing at the sheer state of myself. For this reason, I’ve been meaning to try out Smashbox’s Photo Finish Foundation Primer for a while now, to see if it really does deliver that photo-perfect finish. Beautilicious Bath Soak Shaker – bath salts by any other name
Bath Salts sound like the kind of gift you’d buy your granny for Christmas, but these ones by Beautilicious are a little more modern than you might think. With a pink grapefruit scent and retro packaging, they’d make a nice stocking filler or treat for yourself, and at just £2 per tube, you should have some money left over for another present or two. Or three.
Bad Makeup: Joan Van Ark
Apologies for the lack of updates yesterday, folks: I spent most of the day lying in a darkened room here at Dollface Palace, recovering from a migraine, so I wasn’t able to post. Looks like poor old Joan Van Ark has been feeling under the weather too, mind you: or maybe this is just a great example of what happens when you put on your makeup in the dark and mistake your lipliner for your eyeliner. Ouch!
I’m also really confused as to how she managed to achieve that super-white look around the mouth and chin area, while the rest of her face looks normal – or as "normal" as someone wearing red eyeliner can look, anyway. We can only hope she was auditioning for some kind of ‘Night of the Living Dead’ style horror flick here: if not, it’s really time to sack the makeup artist, Joan…
